00:00What was your father's influence in making you a Botafogo fan, and how do you two support the team together today?
00:03Man, my dad lived through the Garrincha era, the Jaisim era, the golden age of Botafogo.
00:07So, back then, it was one of the biggest fan bases in Rio, right?
00:11So, even today, he still talks about that time, about how packed the Maracanã stadium used to be to see...
00:15Botafogo.
00:16And that's how I started, from a very young age, listening to his stories, and I already identified with Botafogo.
00:20Back when I was younger, I watched Dodô, Dodô Jorge Henrique, that team.
00:24Then I said, "Wow, I'm a Botafogo fan." It was something like that.
00:27That's great. And how was it for you to be able to provide for your father to be at the World Cup, the World Championship, and other tournaments?
00:31Like this one, this big?
00:34Man, that was the best moment of my life.
00:36My father, I've said this a few times, but in 2020, during the pandemic, my father discovered he had cancer.
00:41And there, I cried every night, thinking I was going to lose my father without even giving him the opportunity to see him.
00:46My success, right?
00:46When he saw that I had advertised here, it wasn't by chance that I would be able to work with it.
00:51one day.
00:52So, it was a very difficult period, the pandemic, everyone at home was unemployed.
00:55And then I said, "Wow, my life, I don't know what's going to happen from now on."
00:59And then, the following year, I recorded it, as a joke, and the guys loved it.
01:03He recovered from cancer, and today we began to live, back then, the best period of our lives.
01:08from 2021 onwards.
01:10So, it was a blessing from God.
01:11I just have to thank God, my followers, my family, you know?
01:15He never gave up on me either, right?
01:16My father, especially, never gave up on him or me.
01:19So, it's very rewarding to be able to experience not only the World Cup, but any moment with him, any moment, any second with him.
01:24My father.
01:25That's why I make a point of taking him everywhere I can, any trip, any outing.
01:28Because I know that in 10 or 20 years, I'm going to miss these moments so much.
01:33And even better, document everything, right?
01:35These days, everything is on video.
01:36His grandchildren, my father's great-grandchildren, will be able to watch and see just how awesome their grandfather was.
01:40right?
01:40My dad is a really awesome guy, and that's it.
01:42It's a good thing everything is recorded there.
01:44You've already made some jokes with him, involving Flamengo and rival teams.
01:47What's it usually like behind the scenes of these pranks?
01:50Oh, my dad gets really mad.
01:52Anything involving Flamengo or any other team that isn't Botafogo, elicits the kind of reaction you see everywhere.
01:56on the internet.
01:56He hates it, he can't stand it.
01:58He's a Botafogo fan and he's a crazy person.
01:59He's so ill that nowadays he doesn't even watch the game to avoid getting stressed.
02:02That's the level.
02:03Bye, bye, bye.
