Date: June 25, 2022
Hosts: Andreu Buenafuente & Berto Romero
Podcast: SER Podcast

Main Theme / Purpose

In this improvisational and humor-driven episode, Andreu Buenafuente and Berto Romero explore the concept of mischievousness (“gamberrismo”), personal anecdotes, and playful reflections on everyday life. As always, the show is a free-wheeling conversation anchored by the spontaneous wit and rapport between the hosts, blurring the line between personal confessions, societal observation, and pure comedy.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Improvised Beginnings & "Compost" (00:30–03:00)

• Comedic confusion about show format: Andreu starts with a fake countdown, referencing their technician Tito’s practices, and riffing on how the show spans all media, even "composted" into a movie.
• Compost at home: Discussion about composting at home, with comedic twists (“yo dos veces al día hago compost” — Andreu, [00:59]). Berto jokes about his cat’s destructive habits with plants, blaming his fate as "Romero" (rosemary).

Quote:
“Yo dos veces al día hago compost.”
— Andreu Buenafuente ([00:59])

2. “Falso Inicio” & Audience Reactions (02:12–03:00)

• Audience’s love for tradition-breakers: Andreu discusses how the false start or “falso inicio” feels exciting but is ultimately anticlimactic for the audience.
• Berto likens it to industrial pastries: the anticipation is better than reality.

Quote:
“El falso inicio es como la bollería industrial. Era mejor el deseo que la realidad.”
— Berto Romero ([02:48])

3. Life, Time, and Getting Older — The Section "Estar Vivos" (04:00–13:00)

• Personal anecdotes: Berto’s story of a malfunctioning radio-controlled clock leads Andreu into a philosophical exploration of time speeding up with age.
• Role-play: They improvise the segment "Estar Vivos" with Berto as “Ricardo Calafel” (“Yo, cuando era muy jovencito…” — Andreu, [08:42]), riffing on age, speech idiosyncrasies, and empathetic communication.

Quotes:
“Cuando pasas los 50 la vida va a toda hostia.”
— Andreu Buenafuente ([08:16])

“Yo tengo un mimetismo incontrolable hacia la manera de hablar de mi entrevistado.”
— Andreu Buenafuente ([09:18])

• On speech disorders: They address stammering and “disfemia,” sharing both humorous and respectful insights, and mention speech therapy (logopeda).

4. Straddling the Line Between Empathy & Mockery (11:00–13:00)

• Anecdote: Andreu shares the risk of “over-mimicking” interviewees, sometimes unintentionally adopting their speech patterns.
• Social commentary: Berto mentions the importance of not mocking people with speech difficulties and references a request from his children’s speech therapist to promote empathy.

5. Miscellaneous Tangents: Sleep Checks while Driving & Nature Anecdotes (13:30–15:30)

• Audience question: Should there be sleep tests for drivers?
• Andreu’s “bivecota” (nature anecdote): His attempts at interspecies communication, especially with hens, and recalling previous shows' attempts with other animals.

Memorable Moment:

6. Gallinas, Jurassic Park, & Family (15:30–19:10)

• Chicken/dinosaur trivia: They riff on chickens being dinosaurs’ descendants, feathery dinosaurs, and how this would change Jurassic Park’s vibe.
• Failed chicken interaction: Andreu describes unsuccessfully trying to communicate with hens.

7. Cooking Memories & Alcohol Mishaps (19:09–22:00)

• Viewer question: If they’ve cooked together—turns out, they mixed a Negroni cocktail once ("Nos dio una hostia... No pudimos comer" — Andreu, [19:39]).
• Discussion: Who’d be chef or assistant? Referencing "Ratatouille" and EuroDisney’s Ratatouille ride (“Me mareo todo el rato.” — Andreu, [22:07]).

8. Watching Content at 1.5x Speed (24:20–26:15)

• A listener’s boyfriend speeds up podcasts: They joke about the consequences, advocating for enjoying content at normal speed.

9. “Ding Dong Pyro” & Mischievousness Experiment (27:17–33:00)

• Introduction to “Ding Dong Pyro”: A classic prank (ring and run), revealed as something the hosts' children play, leading Andreu to want to relive it on air.
• Live prank attempt: Andreu rings a doorbell in their building; Berto objects on moral grounds and acts as the conscience ("Molestar a la gente no me gusta," [28:25]). Upon the annoyed response, both feel guilty; Berto takes the “parent/adult” role, reflecting on maturity and humor's limits.

Quotes:
"Yo no veo la gracia. Se puede hacer comedia sin ofender."
— Berto Romero ([30:50])

"Es raro que hayamos dado la vuelta. Yo cuando empecé el programa era yo el gamberro. Y ahora tengo que hacer yo de padre."

10. Reflections on First Kisses and Social Interaction (33:09–39:00)

• Audience question: Did their first kiss disgust them? Berto can’t recall but reminisces about long, teenage kissing sessions — humorously linking them to digestive issues afterwards ("Noche peida, noche besada,” [40:17]).
• Social skills skit: Parody of handling “pesados” (clingy acquaintances), with Andreu leading a demonstration on ending unwanted conversations.

12. Aging and Maturity — Closing Song (43:37–44:42)

• Berto’s improvised song: On the virtue of maturing and not pulling childish pranks:
  "Hay que saber comportarse en la vida, sobre todo con una cierta edad. No ir tocando timbres de señoras que se pueden enfadar."
  — Berto Romero ([43:43])

13. Short Bits & Questions: Memory, Concert Overload, Tarot Skit (44:51–51:07)

• Movie/book amnesia: They talk about forgetting films/books soon after consuming.
• Five Manolo García concerts — too many?: Joking about turning it into a job.

Overall Flow & Tone

The episode is characteristically irreverent, self-aware, and layered with meta-humor. Andreu and Berto oscillate between playful confession, sharp societal commentary, and absurdist comedy — always maintaining their signature chemistry. The highlight is the reversal of roles: Berto becomes the adult, reflecting on naughty behavior and maturity, further driving the episode’s title — "El gamberro no nace, se hace" (“A troublemaker isn’t born, he’s made”). Above all, the show is a study in finding meaning — or just good laughs — in life’s random moments.

For newcomers, this episode is a delightful and accessible example of what makes Nadie Sabe Nada unique: improvised humor, quick-witted storytelling, and a playful approach to the trials and mischiefs of adult life.
