Controversy In November 2024, Ydrach faced widespread criticism for making derogatory comments about people who use wheelchairs during an episode of his podcast. He questioned why disabled individuals are allowed to skip ahead in lines at polling stations and made an inflammatory remark: "por cada persona que pase tú debes echar dos para atrás."
