Cirio recounted how Tinelli stood her up with an enema, and Pergolini offered her a job.

Martín Cirio recalled his bitter experience on 'Bailando' and explained why he distanced himself from TV

Streamer  Martín Cirio  , known as "La Faraona", visited the showOtro día perdido (El Trece), by Mario Pergolini  and recounted the uncomfortable moment he experienced on Marcelo Tinelli's show. The anecdote, which included an enema and absolute silence live on air, marked him forever and sealed his decision never to do television again.

During the conversation, Pergolini asked him why he didn't appear in traditional media. Cirio didn't hesitate:  "I decided never to go on TV again because I had a really bad time." When the host inquired with whom, the answer was direct:  "With Tinelli."

A failed gag and the show's worst silence

According to the streamer, he had been invited to participate in Bailando after going viral with a video in which he talked about an enema. The production asked him to bring one to the show as part of the sketch.

Cirio accepted the proposal,  went to the studio with the object in hand and, live, handed it to Laura Fidalgo, expecting everyone to burst out laughing. But the opposite happened: nobody reacted.

"I thought 'this is my big moment,' but when I gave it to her, nobody laughed. I felt like a fool," he recalled. He was never invited again.

To that was added his mother's reaction, who, upon seeing him on screen, wrote to him furiously:  "How disgusting! How rude you are. How could you give that to a figure like Laura Fidalgo, who danced at Colón?"

Pergolini wanted to add him, but Cirio had already closed the door

During the show, Mario Pergolini revealed that at the time he offered Cirio to be part of Otro Día Perdido.  "I asked him if he wanted to do something different, not like the guys (referring to Agustín "Rada" Aristarán and Laila Roth), and he said no. That's when I understood he wanted nothing to do with television," he said.

Cirio confirmed it: he received several offers to host or be a panelist, but he rejected them all. His decision was clear: "After that, I chose to stay in streaming."

The conversation ended on a warm note. Both defined themselves as friends and shook hands. "For those who don't know, Martín is one of the five most-watched Spanish-speaking streamers on the planet," Pergolini stated.

Despite his refusal to work on television, the rapport between Cirio and Pergolini was evident throughout the interview. They had fun, shared anecdotes, and showed their camaraderie on air.

The streamer confessed that he feels comfortable on Otro Día Perdido, and Pergolini, without hesitation, assured that he enjoys talking to him more in public than in private. A chemistry that transcended the screen and left the door open—at least in streaming format—for them to appear together again.
