I wonder what he's actually saying in Spanish

Risitas - Las Paelleras (Original video with English Subtitles)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDiB4rtp1qw

The interviewee is Juan Joya, commonly known as "Risitas" or "El Risitas", literally meaning "little laughs" or "giggles", due to the way he laughs during his jokes and stories. He became very known in Spain.

Some non-Spanish speakers wanted to know what they originally said, so I made this for them. I tried to make it as faithful as possible, but Risitas speaks with Andalusian accent and sometimes it can be a bit "closed". However, I think I was able to take all the meaning and translate it properly.

I don't know that much Spanish but he's telling a story about hitting a kid with a shoe, "La Chancla".

It's a relatively well know feature of spanish culture that La Chancla is the motherly weapon of choice, but unlike a belt or a switch it has distance. This provides constant fear in children.
