Transcript:

Daniel: Hi Hugo, yeah, I’m fine today. What about you?

Hugo: Oh, I'm fine too. So I was wondering, do you have pets?

Daniel: I do. I have 2 dogs. One of them is a dachshund, the sausage dog, and the other is a Great Dane, a huge dog, she looks like a cow.

Hugo: Nice, what are their names?

Daniel: The big one is Ani and the small one is Luz… Light.

Hugo: Okay.

Daniel: And what about you? Do you have any?

Hugo: Yeah, I do, I have a dog. It’s a shitsu.

Daniel: Nice!

Hugo: It looks like a rug. Got a lot of fur and it’s very fluffy, and his name is Romeo.

Daniel: Romeo! That’s a nice name. Do you… Are you more of a cat or a dog person?

Hugo: I am a dog person, always been. When I was a kid, I had like 5 dogs in my house. I don't remember their names anymore, but I had 5 dogs... my father had 5 dogs, yeah, I was a kid, I just watched the dogs.

Daniel: I also grew up always having a dog around. And... yeah, I'm not a very big fan of cats, because I'm allergic to them, so it’s not a pleasant experience to be near cats for me... so I tend to prefer dogs. And is there any, I don't know, different animal that you would like to own? Like a bird, or… I didn't know.

Hugo: I would love to have some reptiles.

Daniel: Oh, nice!

Hugo: I don’t know, maybe a snake, or an iguana, something like this, would be cool.

Daniel: I love lizards, I think they're very cool. I would like to have them at some point.

Hugo: So you also wanted to have some lizards?

Daniel: Yeah like a little... like an aquarium… like a terrarium, maybe? With some lizards would be nice.

Hugo: Yeah. I also find turtles very... very cute.

Daniel: I used to have a tortoise. They are… they are cute, but they are not very interesting pets. They are more wildlife than pets in my opinion, and we ended up having to donate the tortoise that we had, but yeah. It's not that interesting of a pet in my opinion.

Israel: Doing ok.

Hugo: Nice, what are your hobbies?

Israel: I don’t have very many hobbies, although I do like the hobbies that I like a lot. I'm very into Brazilian jiu jitsu, it’s my favorite sport, been practicing for many years now. But recently I have been gaming a lot.

Hugo: I see, nice. So, the jiu jitsu, what belt color do you have?

Israel: A purple belt.

Hugo: A purple belt, wow, nice.

Israel: I got it before the pandemic, so today I'm probably a blue belt.

Hugo: Okay yeah, we need some training to get back in shape.

Israel: Exactly, exactly.

Hugo: And what are you playing? Fighting games then?

Israel: Actually I like  first person shooter games.

Hugo: Oh nice.

Israel: So I've played a lot of Counter Strike, Warzone and Rust. Rust is not exactly a first person shooter, but it has many elements of fps.

Hugo: Ok, very nice, very nice.

Israel: How about you?

Hugo: Yeah I also like gaming. I love reading and… I like card games too. I play magic the gathering, it’s a kind of card game similar to Pokemon and Yugioh, it's the first one that got famous. And I also play some RPGs. I play Destiny 2, it's also an FPS with RPG, and I play Path of Exile, that's an action RPG similar to Diablo.

Israel: From the same developers as Diablo right?

Hugo: Yeah, the guys that developed Diablo left the company and made a new company called Grinding Gear Games, and they made Path of Exile. And I also love reading, I like all kinds of fiction, so I like horror, I like fantasy, I like Sci-fi, so… a nerdy guy. No jiu jitsu for me.

Israel: Yeah, no, we’re all nerds here.

Transcript:

Israel: Yes, I have 3 half brothers and one step sister.

Daniel: Yeah, it's a big, big family

Israel: Yeah pretty big.

Daniel: Yeah... I only have half siblings, I have two half sisters and one half brother. It's also kind of a big family. Are you the youngest, the oldest or in the middle?

Israel: I’m actually the oldest.

Daniel: Oldest? Oh!

Israel: By 4 years… no, I’m 7 years older than my middle brother. The youngest ones, I am… 12 years older than, or something like this.

Daniel: It’s a little similar to... with me, I am the youngest and we have a… a difference of 6 years, and from me to my oldest brother is 11 years of difference. How is being the older brother in the family?

Israel: Well, you’re like the test subject of your family right, that's how you're treated kind of... and it's very different than the youngest, where they're always the baby of the family.

Daniel: Yes... sometimes it's a little annoying, sometimes it's a little good, especially when you are younger, because you... I used to fight with my siblings a lot so... yeah, it’s another reason to fight over, just kid stuff.

Israel: Yeah. Have you traveled with your siblings at all?

Daniel: I have, but I don't have a lot of contact with one of my sisters. I grew up with only 2 of them basically. And we used to travel in family a lot, now not so much, because everyone's growing up, starting to work, study, and move away to different states, so it's a little harder, but yes... our last trip was to Tiradentes actually, a few years ago, in Minas. What about you? Do you like family travels?

Israel: Yeah, it’s kind of a... when my mom still lived in Brazil it was kind of our tradition. Every year around Christmas time we would go to a different place so… we've gone to...

Daniel: Sounds awesome!

Israel: Yes! It's pretty... pretty nice, pretty nice. We've gone to the north of Brazil, to Ceará, we’ve gone to Santa Catarina, and Paraná, lots of different places.

Daniel: Traveled all around the country.

Israel: Traveling all around the country, yeah, lots of nice beaches here.

Daniel: Yes.

Rafael: Yes, they live together.

Danilo: And where did your father use to take you and your siblings?

Rafael: He used to take us to a close square near home, so he used to take us there.

Danilo: Nice, very good. Do you still go out with your siblings sometimes?

Rafael: Yeah, it's harder because of the work, because of the studies... but normally I can go out with them for restaurants, I used to go out to places we could find each other.

Danilo: That’s nice. And what about your mother, do you still go out with her a lot?

Rafael: Yes. I wouldn't say a lot, but I still go out with her. With my mother to programs… the idea it's a bit different, looks like. I used to go to my aunt, to visit my aunt, to visit my uncles or visit family in general. She likes that more.

Danilo: Nice, nice. So you still have good contact with them right? With your uncles and aunts?

Rafael: Yes, with all my family. It's a huge family, but I still have good contact with them.

Danilo: Yes. It's important, right? Family's very important, so I'm glad that you still have such a good relationship with your family. Here it's the same thing, we are in... I have 3 sisters, you know, and we are four siblings, and many times even though our parents, you know, don't go out with us the same way they did when we were kids, I still go out with them a lot, with my siblings. We still do plans together, and I really, really love them, I really love to spend time with them, and... yeah, it's very good, for sure. It's not like when our families had more time to spend with us, but for sure it's still a good time. I have 3 sisters and one of them is 4 years old, and I really really love her. She is the love of my life and I'm glad that I'm able to spend time with her still. And my father also, even though he doesn't live together with me I still go visit him a lot, and spend some time with him. I love to make some barbecues together with him. Yes, so, that’s it.

Danilo: I have traveled a lot actually, a lot inside Brazil and a little bit outside too. I have lived for 3 months in Europe, in Poland.

Daniel: Way, way colder, right?

Danilo: Way colder, yeah.

Daniel: Rio is very, very hot.

Danilo: It's much hotter than São Paulo.

Daniel: Yeah it's among the hottest places in Brazil, like really, among the hottest.

Danilo: You know I have been to Rio for some time. I have lived there for 6 months actually, and I know Bangú, it's very hot, it's hotter than the other parts of Rio de Janeiro because it’s between two mountains, is that correct?

Daniel: Yes, exactly.

Danilo: São Paulo is known for being, you know, colder than other parts.

Daniel: I didn’t get to know the city, but it's way, way bigger than what I'm used to.

Danilo: Yeah, Rio de Janeiro is pretty big, you know, São Paulo is bigger of course, it’s one of the biggest cities in the world, but Rio de Janeiro is also very big. 6.000.000 people if I recall correctly.

Daniel:  I lived most of the time in Niteroi, not actually the city of Rio, so it's smaller than Rio. When you go to São Paulo, it's a shock.

Danilo: You know, but some people think that Rio de Janeiro is more beautiful than São Paulo, and to some degree I agree, you know. You have a lot of beautiful nature and it’s prettier in general than São Paulo. l lived in Gamboa,you know, and from the window of my room I could see that bridge… Rio-Niteroi I think is the name of the bridge, I don’t know. Bigger than any bridge that I have ever seen.

Daniel: Yeah, it's crossing the Guanabara Bay, it’s beautiful.

Danilo: You know, the city in itself is not that pretty… I have met a lot of Polish people there, you know, they came from Poland to spend some time there, and they always thought that São Paulo was cleaner.

Daniel: Yes, of course.

Danilo: Rio de Janeiro is sometimes dirtier than São Paulo and it’s like Rio de Janeiro is much more violent .

Daniel: That is one of its hugest problems.

Danilo: On the statistics it’s not the most violent city in Brazil, but it feels like it.

Daniel: Yeah it does feel like it.

Danilo: Because you know, I remember the first time that I heard a grenade was when I was living in Rio de Janeiro. It was a very loud sound, louder than anything that I have ever heard, one of the loudest sounds I have ever heard. I thought it was a bomb, you know, falling from the sky, but it was just a grenade. In many ways I think that Rio de Janeiro is cheaper than São Paulo. I was buying Guaravita for one

real, it's like the cheapest I’ve ever seen.

Daniel: Yeah.

Danilo: So you grew up in a small town right? What's the name of your hometown?

Daniel: It’s Rio das Ostras.

Danilo: Rio das Ostras, nice. I have heard of it, but never been there. Do you prefer smaller cities or do you prefer bigger cities?

Daniel: That's a good question. After a while, when I started to get used to living in a bigger city, there's just so much more to do, you know, more movement. It’s a busier city... it's like, a little too much sometimes, for me, but yeah, I kind of liked it.
