Summary in the Original Language and Tone

The episode flows with the signature “Hoy por Hoy” energy—wry, irreverent, and warmly self-deprecating.

The segment on “los Feijóos del Hoy por Hoy” stands out as a memorable, affectionate nod to human imperfection. In the end, the message is clear: it’s not about getting everything right, but about laughing—together—when things inevitably go a little off-script.
