Podcast Summary: El Bueno, la Mala y el Feo

Episode: “Echó a su marido por vago y terminó rogando por volver”

Date: January 9, 2026

Main Theme

This episode blends humor and irony as Raúl Molinar (El Pelón), Paola Sasso (La Mala), and Andrés Maldonado (El Feo) riff on an outrageous relationship story—someone kicks out their husband for being a “vago” (slacker), only to regret it when he wins the lottery days later. The crew then transitions to lighter relationship talk (“palabras del éxito” for persuasion), a wild story about meteorite treasure-hunting, and wraps up with an in-depth interview with Univisión correspondent Nayeli Chávez Geller, giving exclusive insight into the legal situation of Nicolás Maduro and his wife in the U.S.
