Rock and Troll: Programa 472 (No toxic)

·1 hr·5 clips

A study reveals Caribbean sharks have cocaine in their tissues at concentrations 100 times higher than any other marine species.

The episode begins with the hosts introducing the show's transgressive, energetic style and sharing a curious fact about koalas sleeping up to 22 hours a day to conserve energy on their eucalyptus diet. They then engage in casual banter about spring weather and upcoming holidays. The hosts mention the Day of Equal Pay in Argentina and briefly discuss pay inequality in sports. A segment on Winston Churchill details his political career and shares several of his famous quotes. They move to historical ephemerides, covering events like the 1609 Twelve Years' Truce between Spain and the Dutch Republic, the first public art exhibition in Paris in 1667, and the 1860 creation of the first sound recording by Leon Scott. The episode features music from bands like Bugre, Matriar, and Chojin. A central segment includes a pacifist monologue from Ramón de Living, who argues against war, critiques its profitability for the powerful, and calls for peace. The hosts then present news items: a study linking toxic relationships to accelerated biological aging, a 5-year-old Chinese boy becoming a licensed professional racing driver, and a new space race between the US, China, and Russia to establish a lunar colony. A shocking report reveals that Caribbean sharks have tested positive for cocaine due to pollution from drug trafficking. Sports updates include Rafa Hobart's first ATP tournament win, Dai Mara's university basketball achievements, Esther Britt's Oxford-Cambridge regatta victory, and gold medals for Laia Font and Ana Alonso/Oriol Cardona. The episode concludes by promoting obscure alternative sports like Quidditch (adapted as quad ball), Chocbal, and Pinfugote, encouraging listeners to explore these niche activities.
