The translation of that proverb could be "if the shrimp falls asleep is swept downstream" (Camarón que se duerme se lo lleva la corriente). I guess it means something like "You snooze, you lose" or that if you get distracted you will be overwhelm by your duties.

But he said something like "if the shrimp falls asleep is swept by the b*tch" (Camarón que se duerme se lo lleva la ch*ngada).
Jaja, it could mean something but I guess it is too deep for me.

It is hard for everyone, when we do not know exactly what we are saying. It happens to me everyday in Regnum

. Odds are you will always say wrong the word that sounds like an insult

, or misspell one word that can change the meaning of the whole sentence to somethig dirty or impolite

.

PS: When they go back to the anchorwoman, she said "So, do not fall asleep then..."
