BarcelonaAfter the disaster with Abascal, it was very difficult for Broncano to face the next day's program on Tuesday. The presenter went up on stage very distressed, with whistles and a mournful drum roll, dressed in black and eager to apologize to the audience. He made a great effort to inject a sense of humor, because he looked devastated: "I am the presenter. I am very sorry. The only person who has disappointed the left more than Gabriel Rufián". He acknowledged the mistake made with the Vox leader, admitted that he was very disappointed in himself, that he made very bad decisions with the interview and that he underestimated Abascal. He even revealed that his ineptitude and stuttering were the result of the difficulties he had concentrating on the conversation, because the only thing he could think about was the mistake he had made. It was an unusual television moment. The highlight of the program was seeing a little television star flagellate himself cruelly in front of the audience. "I was not up to what public television deserves," he declared. He offered the microphone to the public so that the attendees could ask him questions about the absurdity of the previous program. Meanwhile, his usual collaborators were mocking him. What they do best on this program is laugh at themselves.

Broncano confessed that it had been one of the saddest days of his life and his emotional dejection was obvious. He had a very low tone, he looked emotionally affected and it clearly impacted the interview with Ada Colau. The former mayor did not seem very enthusiastic either, having to pick up the pieces of the shipwreck. She wanted to clarify that neither she nor her team chose the audience and appealed to her desire to have a good time to see if the energy would pick up a little. But it didn't turn out that way. Broncano was devastated and couldn't quite find his footing. The interview he did with Ada Colau was absolutely predictable, asking her about housing policies, feminism, and climate change as essential topics. Thanks to the collaborators' jokes, and without really knowing how, they went from talking about natural disasters to debating the benefits of peeing sitting down, especially for men. La Revuelta has these things. The most inconsequential nonsense emerges from nowhere and takes over the entire conversation.

Broncano, by the way, unlike what he did with Abascal, this time he did air the two classic questions of the program: money in the bank and sex had in the last month. Colau assured that she does not have more than ten thousand euros in her checking account, but that she is sexually rich: "Four per week," she reported with pride. Perhaps it will be the minute of glory that will circulate on social media, but the interview went unnoticed. Between the scandal of the day before, the spectacle of Broncano flagellating himself, and the sadness he exuded, the conversation with Colau was overshadowed.
