New episode of Your businessnew show by Stefano De Martino. Competitor, Luca from Sardinia. The man is a bartender and plays with pack number 8 flanked in the Rai 1 studio by his brother Francesco. The match, which starts very well, does not end in the best way. On the “red” side of the table the two brothers find 1 euro and the competitor quips: “The redemption of the ‘left’ table has begun, it always had red packages”.
A joke that triggers laughter from the tacky Serena. “No, this thing is wonderful – comments De Martino in reference to his loud and strange laugh -. Give me the microphone that you can’t hear from his. You think of a butcher who laughs like that…”. At that point he takes the frozen microphone, has the production open it and approaches her. Result? As she laughs, the tack girl sounds like a pig. “The butcher he’s playing me like a pig”jokes about De Martino to the laughter of the audience.
But the episode was also targeted by some viewers. The decision to change packages at the last minute and not to accept the Doctor’s numerous and above all high offers did not go down well: “I don’t understand why no one immediately calls the packages with the previous number and the one following the one that fell to their lot. So , based on what comes out, they form an idea whether to accept at the first exchange offer or whether to keep it indefinitely”, writes a user on the web while others echo him: “And it was really an 8 that didn’t have it done this 3”, “When you find yourself in the All or situation Nothing in the end, never change, in my opinion”, “Now we no longer need to change in the end. The doctor does it to save money”, “Today I am angry with the doctor more than ever”, “He who wants too much for nothing squeezes”.
