El Número Uno (08-04-2026)

April 8, 2026·38 min·2 clips

After staying up until 1am watching a countdown clock, the hosts conclude Trump's tariff pause means 'two weeks to go to the beach before the end of the world.'

1. La Diez Capital Radio's 'El Número Uno,' hosted by José Juan and a co-host, broadcasts on April 8, 2026, covering Canarian and Spanish current affairs with comedic commentary. 2. The main host is José Juan, who is ill with a persistent cold and has a cardiology appointment at the Hospital Universitario de Canarias later that day; his co-host monitors his health throughout the show. 3. The episode's recurring theme is the gap between expectation and anticlimactic reality — Trump's announcement, the papal visit cost, Real Madrid's result — all played for sardonic humor. 4. The hosts describe staying awake until 1am watching a TV countdown clock to Trump's tariff announcement, only to learn it was a two-week extension rather than any decisive action. 5. The co-host notes that as of broadcast time no ships are passing through the Strait of Hormuz graphic he monitors online, while Israel continues attacking southern Lebanon despite the announced pause. 6. The hosts joke that the Hormuz 'truce' is a 'quarter truce' — a satirical commentary on how terms like 'truce' and 'inflation' have been emptied of meaning. 7. Real Madrid's 2-0 Champions League defeat in Germany is attributed to a structural problem: 'the players are worth more than the manager,' and Florentino Pérez allows star players to override the coach because they sell shirts. 8. The hosts learn in-show that Madrid's score is actually 2-1 but dismiss the difference, saying a loss is a loss regardless of margin. 9. The papal visit to the Canary Islands carries a budget of 15 million euros, half already secured; the diocese launched a 'Carnés Amigos del Papa' scheme and will place collection boxes in all Canarian churches. 10. The co-host purchased the 25-euro membership tier but will receive only a QR code rather than a physical card 'because 25 euros doesn't cover the plastic.' 11. As of April 8, the hosts believe the Pope will sleep in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (this later changed to Tenerife, confirmed two days later in the April 9 episode). 12. The hosts discuss 169 migrants arriving in El Hierro on a precarious vessel, bringing the total to 500 since the previous weekend; both hosts describe the open-sea conditions as dangerous based on images they saw. 13. World Roma Day is observed; the co-host recalls receiving an award from the Canarian Roma community as 'a notable defender of the Roma people' and buying branded underwear from Roma street vendors. 14. The hosts discuss World Transgenic Foods Opposition Day, joking about 'a lentil with apple DNA' before a listener explains that Cushing's syndrome (World Cushing's Day) involves excess cortisol causing stress. 15. World Pink Day prompts the co-host to reveal he now wears 'bragas' (briefs) instead of boxers and mentions wearing pink underwear. 16. A call-in quiz asks listeners which Canarian island had the most advanced Guanche civilization: callers suggest Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, La Palma, La Graciosa, El Hierro, and Mogán before the co-host reveals it was Gran Canaria. 17. The episode also briefly covers Tenerife's planned satellite launch and the Gran Canaria train project's 2,000-million-euro minimum funding gap. 18. The format is a live conversational phone-radio show with listener messages read on air and in-show digressions; the co-host's illness provides a recurring comedic motif. 19. Canarian audiences who enjoy sardonic local political comedy and enjoy inter-island rivalry jokes will find the episode most entertaining. 20. International listeners or those seeking substantive news analysis will find the episode's digressive, joke-heavy format inaccessible.
