Episode Title: ¡Bad Bunny conquistó el mundo!
Date: February 9, 2026
Host: Macetaminofen (Marisol), with El George, Melissa, Alex, and guests
Overview:
This energetic, irreverent, and humorously “irresponsible” episode runs through the pop culture and political moment that is Bad Bunny performing at the Super Bowl Halftime Show, his global ascent, and the whirlwind of discourse that has followed in Puerto Rico, the U.S., and beyond. The hosts mix spicy local chisme, playful digs at politicians and celebrities, and their signature group-dynamic, all in their familiar "baja tu IQ" style.
Key Discussion Points & Insights
1. Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Takeover (01:41:24, 101:24)
- Excitement and Fatigue: The whole panel is both proud and a little overwhelmed by Bad Bunny’s omnipresence. “Yo estoy bien contenta y quiero. Estoy loca por ver la presentación y esto, pero estoy cansada.” (Melissa, 101:44)
- Speculation on Setlist & Guests: The team discusses bets on which songs will make the set—“La Mudanza”, “Baile Inolvidable”, “EO”, “Alambre Púa”, and even hopes for surprise guests like Ñengo Flow or Jowell y Randy for that ultimate “cafre” vibe.
- Cultural Significance:
“El primer performer latino en español... para mí está bien cabrón.”
(George, 104:58) There’s pride in Bad Bunny representing Puerto Rico and Spanish-language music at an iconically “American” event. - Security Concerns: Fueled by online rumors about his Grammys outfit possibly hiding a bulletproof vest, speculation runs on the extra security needed due to heightened political and ideological polarization (105:22).
- The Haters’ Response: Coverage of right-wing Americans organizing a rival “Make America Great Again” halftime with acts like Kid Rock, emphasizing the backlash against a Latino artist leading this space (44:20-45:33).
- Marketing/Business Angle:
“La NFL necesita más a Bad Bunny que lo que Bad Bunny necesita a la NFL.”
(Melissa, 46:30)
2. Chismes: Local Politics & Condominiums (16:14-23:25)
- Puerto Rican Condos = Miniature Governments: Ongoing corruption, mismanagement, and board drama in condo boards are discussed (audio from Rubén Sánchez’s show featured).
- Mini-gobierno Reflection:
“El gobierno es un reflejo de lo que el pueblo es correcto.”
(Marisol, 19:34)
3. U.S. Politics, Trump Antics, and Conspiracy Theories
- Donald Trump’s Racist Memes & Social Media Meltdowns:
- Recap of Trump’s (since deleted) video calling the Obamas “monos”, reactions, and how scandals no longer sink politicians (30:24-34:02).
- Hosts joke about his love for junk food, rumors about his health, and wild theories about his potential imminent death (40:27-41:30).
- Spin-off into jokes about conspiracies, including “Michelle Obama is really a man” (36:47-37:43).
- Aging Political Class (41:51): Discussion of the increasingly geriatric U.S. and Puerto Rican politicians, how “no se quieren retirar”, and the feedback loop of incumbency.
- Legislative Stagnation:
“El sistema de ellos, cabrón...tu representante te cae bien, entonces tú votas por tu representante y pasa lo mismo, lo mismo, lo mismo...”
(George, 42:38)
4. Local Political Chismes
- Carmen Yulín’s Return: Discussion, mocking her vague Senate platform, affectionate roasting (“Es la tía rebelde...que se volvió loca”, 27:04).
- Jennifer González & Odri Nix: The hosts break down Odri Nix’s court-ordered public apology for calling the governor “gorda” and “puta”—lots of dark humor about dignity, apologies, and media manipulation (58:01-64:06).
“Pienso que pudo haber sido más mezquina...yo no hubiese sido tan benévolo con esa foto.” (Marisol, 64:12)
5. Media & Entertainment
- Burbu’s TV Return: Upcoming project with El Guitarreño, speculation about format, and analysis of why Puerto Rican “late night” never works (“no pueden o no quieren invertir en escritores”, 75:38-78:05).
- Nostalgia vs. Current TV: Comparing 90s/00s local comedy (Mingui y Petraca) with today’s sanitized shows, questioning if comedy’s changed or just the hosts (80:21-81:12).
- Playmaker’s Radio Meltdowns: Two viral confrontations discussed—first with a hostile caller, then with a cohost, capped by him walking off air (85:14-94:41).
“Eso es de nene chiquito de encojonarse e irse.” (George, 94:15)
6. Gender/Everyday Life:
- Menstruation Oddities & Bathroom Talk: Extended hilarious/absurd conversation about period management, bathroom privacy, and odd men’s room behaviors (65:24-73:52).
- Classic Relatable Puerto Rican Chisme: Trading stories about losing valuables (re: Zion’s million-dollar watches, 95:24), buying/selling cars, and reliving 90s fashion (98:46).
7. Black Guayaba Interview & Local Music
