Podcast Summary: Nadie Sabe Nada | Dos tontos y tú, tres (March 11, 2023)

Main Theme:
In this characteristically improvisational and humorous episode, Andreu Buenafuente and Berto Romero navigate random topics submitted by the audience, riff on personal anecdotes, discuss cats, tackle urban legends, and even inspire an in-person perfume gift based on a running joke from the show. The episode stands out because it not only maintains their signature absurd banter, but also involves audience participation, touching personal interactions, and spontaneously creates an anthem for the podcast.

Episode Breakdown

1. Opening Banter: Barcelona vs. Madrid (00:35 - 02:24)

• The hosts start with playful jabs about their audience and the cities of Barcelona and Madrid.
• Notable quote:
  • Andreu: "Madrid, una ciudad mastodóntica. Es una ciudad ciclópea... Madrid no se deja caminar" (01:43)

2. Improvised Sexual Innuendo & Radio Locutor Alter-Egos (02:24 - 05:16)

• The conversation veers into an extended parody about hosting a "sexy radio" show, with invented names like Juan Lúbrico and José Lefa.
• They indulge in wordplay and spoof the tropes of erotic radio hosts.
• Notable moment: Andreu mentions the French expression "La petite mort" for orgasm, triggering a round of comedic physical descriptions.
  • Andreu: “¿Sabes lo que es ‘la petite mort’?” – “El orgasmo.” (04:23)
• Discussion about sneezing when aroused, leading to lighthearted, slightly risqué but never lewd territory.

3. The Cat Conundrum: Mascotas y Viajes por la Casa (06:56 - 14:50)

• The audience sends in a question: Why do cats sprint around after pooping?
• The hosts theorize humorously about physiological reasons for post-defecation feline sprints, comparing it to humans and suggesting an OMS (WHO) recommendation.
  • Andreu: “A lo mejor lo que está haciendo el gato es cerrar su ano.” (09:30)
• They swap stories about their own cats' peculiar behaviors. Berto’s cat destroys terrace plant life with urine; Andreu’s cat, Agatha, is one-eyed but defies expectations with agility.
  • Berto: “La ha quemado con el ácido de sus orines y su caca. Está muerta.” (11:18)
• They riff on the “cat slow-blink”, a subtle feline greeting, with comedic results when attempted on Agatha.

• The “hug” is performed live, with the hosts discussing the “six-second rule” for sincere embraces.
  • Berto: “El buen abrazo de verdad sincero es el que dura más de seis segundos.” (18:12)

5. Movie Sex Scenes and Bedroom Tropes (19:38 - 24:49)

• Prompted by a question about awkwardness watching sex scenes with parents, the hosts riff on cinematic clichés: sheets over bodies, the “shirt walk of shame”, and breakfast-in-bed scenes.
  • Berto: “Nadie en la vida real se va al lavabo con la sábana. Porque además eso es guarro.” (20:28)
• They critique unrealistic romantic gestures, like breakfast in bed, and conclude it’s always better in theory.

6. Announcing Next Show in Madrid / Florida Park Anecdotes (25:31 - 28:13)

• Discussion about the next episode being recorded in Madrid’s iconic Florida Park.
• Andreu reminisces about TV host José María Íñigo and the legendary “Lola Flores se le pierde un pendiente” live TV moment.
  • Andreu: “Allí se produce el mítico episodio de Lola Flores, que eso no se ha superado en la historia.” (27:21)

7. The Perfume That Shouldn’t Exist: Audience Participation & Gifts (28:14 - 39:04)

• Two audience members, Miguel Ángel (marketing) and David (the perfumer), present the hosts with a perfume inspired by a joke they made on air, “Cardoner Eau de Colón Sexy Berto Romero”.

9. The (Failed) Anthem of 'Nadie Sabe Nada' (43:06 - 47:01)

• Listeners request the hosts improvise an anthem for the show.
• Multiple failed, increasingly absurd efforts are made:
  • Berto: “Dos tontos y tú, tres. Los escuchas y los ves y te ríes, puede ser, depende si lo hacen bien.” (47:18)
• They laugh at their inability (“No me gusta, no me representa.” – 47:39) but agree to revisit the idea.

10. Audience Q&A: Chicken and Pig Alarm Sounds, Friendship, and Telephone History (48:09 - 54:27)

• Segments on:
  • The famed “Pollo” (chicken sound) and “chancho” (pig sound), recorded for shout-out ringtones. (49:21, 49:32)
  • A touching exchange about what they “envy” in each other’s personality—leading to more “perfumed” bonding.
    • Andreu: “Lo que tú tienes y yo no tengo, también lo tengo yo.” (50:18)
  • Comic speculation about the world’s first telephone call:
    • Berto: “El invento... no sirvió nadie. Inventó el teléfono. ¿Para qué sirve? No lo sé.” (51:27)

Tone and Style

Light, irreverent, and affectionate; the hosts seamlessly blend the absurd with the heartfelt while maintaining a brisk, improvisational rhythm. Audience contributions add intimacy, and frequent callbacks (“Nadie caga nada,” “dos tontos y tú tres”) reinforce the show’s in-joke culture.

Conclusion

This episode is a quintessential “Nadie Sabe Nada”—sharp improv, warmth, audience engagement, and gags that leap from innocent to outrageous and back within seconds. Standout moments include the creation and gifting of the “Cardoner Eau de Colón” perfume (29:14–39:04), the on-air group hug (16:34–19:38), and the anthem attempt “Dos tontos y tú, tres” (43:06–47:01). The result is a deeply entertaining, delightfully unpredictable hour with two of Spain’s top comics at their absolute peak.
