Alex Salgado is furious about a buyer canceling his Absolute Batman comic sale on Wallapop after shipping notifications started.
1. Emporio Salgado's 'Putas Noticias' format covers the host Salgueras's weekly selection of bizarre or infuriating news items from Spanish culture and media. 2. The host presents solo, without guests, in an unscripted stream-of-consciousness rant style. 3. The episode's running theme is human stupidity, illustrated across five distinct news stories. 4. The opening rant concerns a Wallapop transaction: the host listed seven Absolute Batman comics (numbers 1-7) for 25 euros total after reading and deciding not to keep them. 5. A buyer from Madrid asked whether the 25-euro price was per comic or for all seven, reserved the batch, completed the purchase, then sent 18 messages overnight trying to cancel — after the postman had already collected the package. 6. The host speculates the buyer may use Wallapop's dispute system to falsely claim the comics were not as described, forcing a return at the host's expense from Madrid to Barcelona. 7. Television critic segment: Enar Álvarez debuted her late-night show on La 1 with a reported 14% share, which the host attributes entirely to guest Shakira rather than the host or the show's feminist framing. 8. He predicts the show will return to La 2 within a month once audience figures drop with less famous guests, framing the debut as a Shakira effect rather than a programme breakthrough. 9. A Netflix documentary on Hulk Hogan — described as including his last recorded interview before his death in July — prompted the host to criticise younger wrestling fans for dismissing Hogan's legacy over his personal controversies. 10. The host acknowledges Hogan was racist, supported Donald Trump, had an affair with his best friend's wife with the friend's knowledge, and insulted his daughter's Black boyfriend — but argues other sports legends like Michael Jordan, Carl Lewis, and Pelé also have compromising personal histories. 11. A YouTuber referred to as 'el de la botella de Cándor' is mocked for posting a 22-minute video promoting a sponsored boxing bag and weights, claiming to have lost 4-5 kg in three months using a diet he copied from an unnamed actor online. 12. The host objects specifically to the YouTuber giving unsupervised diet advice on a channel watched primarily by children, who lack the income to purchase the sponsored products anyway. 13. He predicts the sponsorship will lapse and the YouTuber will regain weight within two months, following a pattern he claims to have observed previously. 14. In Spanish box office news, Super Mario Galaxy topped Torrente (Santiago Segura's franchise) in week two, though Torrente remains a record-holder within its own saga as the most successful of six films. 15. Masked Singer debuted its new series at 11pm on a Wednesday with Boris Izaguirre replacing the Javis on the judging panel, achieving the lowest rated premiere in the show's history. 16. Masterchef also debuted this week to below-average figures; the host blames both shows' poor performance on the Spanish networks' habit of scheduling prime-time programmes after 11pm. 17. On the Artemis 2 mission, the host describes conspiracy content claiming the astronauts secretly escaped the rocket via a zip-line during launch — directly through rocket exhaust — and dismantles the claim by noting this would be instantly fatal. 18. He recommends listeners spend time tracking flat-earth responses to the Artemis 2 mission for entertainment, noting the creativity of the justifications. 19. Fans of exasperated, comedic Spanish media commentary and pop culture rants will enjoy this episode. 20. Listeners who prefer structured journalism or are unfamiliar with Spanish television and pop culture references will find little to hold onto.
