[@joycecristina3014]

Go ahead man! Keep doing videos in English, I really like practicing my listening with you, thanks a lot!!!

[@MarcioNSantos]

Rafinha, não sabia que Rio foi a capital de Portugal? Teve um monte de confusões históricas neste podcast. Mas não importa muito para a audiência dos EUA.

[@igordacruz]

Bora trabalhar, Rafinha! Procurando conteúdo seu percebi que cê não tá trabalhando! Que é isso, companheiro?!!?!!

[@malosb7887]

Pq vc deixou esse americano bobo dar a entender que festival de acordeon tem em POA tem a ver com nazistas e não com a colonização alemã q aconteceu no sul do país???? Informação toda errada, hein, cara?!

[@eduardofigueiredo2491]

I was quite impressed with the preparation and knowledge of the hosts regarding Brazil. Congratulations

[@DonovanBio]

CQC: I think it would mean... "Whatever it Takes"

[@malosb7887]

Exatamente! Pra quem está lá há 5 anos, o Rafinha está precisando fazer mais umas aulas de inglês.

I love Rafinha accent in English because he sound SO MUCH like Gru from minions and it makes everything he says even funnier

[@marcowolfart1977]

You forgot to mention his accent sounds like Dracula. 😂😂😂😂 The way he says the H is hilarious. Like, I'm very Grrrrrrrappy. 😂😂😂😂

[@wellingtonlescano8714]

55:15 - Rio de Janeiro was the capital of the Portuguese empire in 1808 with the arrival of D. João VI, who was kicked out of Portugal by Napoleon's troops. Awesome episode, guys!

[@brunofonseca3722]

Congratulations to the host, he did his homework. Very informed about Brazil.

[@IanoHausen]

Rafy did really well on his Brazilian Politics 'lecture', sounded like Professor. Made us 'Brazucas' proud, Brother! And the hosts were amazingly informed about details and nuances of Brazilian Politics and Culture! Congrats!

[@rogersabino5450]

I'm from Brazil and I loved this episode!

[@israelnicolas6206]

o homi invadiu todos os podcasts da gringa kkkkkkkk

[@DiegoBana]

I think that a better translation for the show Rafi mention (CQC - Custe o que custar) is "Whatever it Takes"... Set up a better understanding of what the show did, confronting and exposing politicians...

[@jMcWill781]

One of the best guests so far!

O cara tava super bem briefado sobre o Brasil. Seloko. Rafinha tinha de parar e entrevistar ele suahsuhaushuasu

[@PedroAugusto-lv9gk]

Ele estudou o Brasil na universidade

[@smithjohnsonwilliams]

Hi I have a letter to Rafinha: "Dear Rafinha, You haven't posted anything on your goddamn brazilian channel for 5 months What the fuck?" Thanks

[@PedroAugusto-lv9gk]

Não é prioridade, ele está tentando carreira num local onde ninguém fala português

[@beck2310]

Loved the podcast, laughed the hole time.

[@dardarfisher]

Amazing episode. Yall are hitting a stride.

[@Rorther]

McDonalds is WAY better in brazil for sure. Same for chains like Outback, which is actually fancy here.

[@JeffersonLopesdeSousa]

Weird right? I am living in Seattle and Outback here is not good. Even japanese cuisine I prefer in Sao Paulo.

[@viniciussabara2951]

Brazil here, good episode

[@tinasimaika]

Rafinha, you can translate “CQC” to “whatever it takes “

[@rafaelbasiliocaum3258]

I think it's amazing that the host knew so much about Brazil because usually americans (not all of them) don't know anything about our country and thinks everyone here is dancing samba all the time just looking at booties of our hot women (which has some truth to it lol), that was awesome guys, great job!!!

[@Rasfa]

What happened to Dilma was Lava Jato, that's why her solutions weren't even considered in the congress. By the way, you have to "play the game" everywhere, not only in LA.

[@PedroAugusto-lv9gk]

Esqueceu das Pautas Bombas do Eduardo Cunha, manipulações no processo legislativo feito com a intenção de minar qualquer influência que a Dilma pudesse ter

[@mtescari]

really enjoyed the episode!

[@hephaestus7th823]

Watched a good half an hour of this, Andy pulled a masterclass of an interview, Rafael spoke as a genius and to be fair I felt Wilfred a ''bit off pudding'', some of his jokes were misplaced and of low taste, but I mean, as an interviewer Wilfred was constantly on point. While asking questions, Wilfred goes pro. Telling jokes, not so much. Peace.

[@ninaomaranhao]

OMG Rafinha is far more left than i though, he come with all the cliches.... for REALLY GOOD comedian, critical sense is missing there. When he spoke about Temer, i was waiting he speak it was a coup(i dont know exactly this word, went to the translator)

[@BLD96]

Invite him again and make 3h episode please

[@jefersonportela2840]

Episode 22 talking about Lula, that irony it's funny

[@canalgtecnologia]

This guys only knows Brasil through the leftist bobble, they should invite someone from the Brazilian right to talk, maybe they can start seeing the both sides of the history. When they said, Endrik is darker so he should have a different opinion about politics then Neymar and Gabriel Jesus, I laughed out loud loud, they don’t know nothing about blacks in Brasil, and this comment can also be considered racism by the left.

[@dkrick]

Discordo do Rafinha quando ele diz que todo mundo quer ser norte-americano, caguei pro US irmão

[@PedroAugusto-lv9gk]

Pronto, o 20% da população chegou

[@Rasfa]

All three have a very US-centric way of thinking, to the point you actually see things sorta backwards

[@henriquebandeira3877]

And what way of thinking would you qualify as avant-garde?

[@marcusolivera7747]

I fully agree! Despite being the best prepared hosting I've ever seen, it is limited by the hegemonic thinking of the United States. It's also is sad that the interview addresses politics with Rafinha, who clearly doesn't give a shit about it and openly embraces common sense. In short, it was a podcast that surprised me positively.

[@Rasfa]

hes not white in the us because people know he's from brazil. he's jewish as fk

[@marcowolfart1977]

I think to be white in the us you'll need to have blonde hair and blue eyes, that sort of thing. 🤷‍♂️

[@brunofonseca3722]

Rafi rocks!!!

[@megajgbc]

Great

Who is David Copperfield, against the great Caetano Velloso hahahahaha

[@Edu-Coimbra]

Uma conversa até legal, mas vocês não deixaram o cara falar. Fizeram perguntas e quiseram responder por ele. Rafinha poderia explicar coisas sobre ele e sobre o seu país melhor do que vocês. Perderam a oportunidade!

[@Lnd802]

So this is why you don't take comedians seriously on anything

[@rafaxspirits]

😎✌🏻

[@Helena4438]

Gosto muito do Rafinha

[@hithere_1967]

“Are you a nazi?” Geez Marie! Talk about not researching the guest’s background before the interview! Take a look at him, for Pete’s sake!

[@PedroAugusto-lv9gk]

He was kidding, obviously

[@jbdrummer4935]

Are you really taking a comedian opinions seriously? They are not facts, be aware of that

[@cauekacperzak983]

I love Rafinha... But, c'mon... When talking politics, he's just waaaaay too biased, distorting so many events like Lula's arrest and Sergio Moro's involvement on it. He didn't mention that Lula was convicted for several different judges that followed the process AFTER Moro. Moro was just the first instance judge. Different judges have reviewed the case and added prison time for Lula. He also didn't mention that the reason why Lula was released from prison, was a political maneuver to RESTART his trial, and Lula was NEVER declared innocent. However, when this maneuver was put into action, Lula was considered a senior citizen. And senior citizens have a reduced time frame to be formally accused of crimes. In his case, since the process was to begin all over again, he was old enough to have his crimes expired. So he was never tried again, and that is what allowed him to run for president once more. By the way, Lula is not a good articulator, he can barely speak portuguese correctly. Bolsonaro couldn't either, and he was also corrupt. Both of them are. Lula is not a political mastermind, he did NOT create those policies mentioned on the show, he just renamed what already existed. There were A LOT of inconsistencies, distorted facts, biased opinions, that just not reflect the political scenario in Brazil...

[@iuriamonteiro]

50:20 It was fake, we all know.

[@l.otaviocabete9505]

I am from Brazil, I love Rafinha Bastos, but he lied about almost everything he said about our politics.

[@PedroAugusto-lv9gk]

Tipo o que?

[@l.otaviocabete9505]

Tipo quase tudo.

[@PedroAugusto-lv9gk]

@@l.otaviocabete9505 quase tudo o quê? Especificamente

[@l.otaviocabete9505]

​@@PedroAugusto-lv9gk pesquisa cara. É muita desinformação. Muita informação enviesada. Busque fontes neutras. Nem Bolsonaristas nem Lulistas falam a verdade. Pegue as falas dele e joga no Google sempre optando pelas fontes menos enviesadas. Não dá pra redigir um texto corrigindo o que foi dito em uma hora de podcast.

[@l.otaviocabete9505]

​@@PedroAugusto-lv9gk Cara... Uma informação super básica que nem Lulistas e nem Bolsonaristas assumem é que Lula só foi solto por causa da tentativa do Bolsonaro de proteger o filho corrupto dele. Lula e Bolsonaro são corruptos e desonestos. Nenhum deles é capacitado academicamente para ocupar a cadeira da presidência. Ambos só pensam em se manter no poder. Se você não enxerga isso, você é cego! E pelo jeito, Rafinha também é cego.

[@felipep.santiago9634]

Rafinha is a genius in his profession. I admire your talent. I respect your opinions and political positions. However, how much information is poorly given. How much biased information. Always relieving for the PT representative. The PT party was the consolidation and materialization of the greatest misfortune that has ever occurred in Brazil. Get out of the traditional media, which is bought, see the truth. Shallow searches will only yield a clean carpet. But beneath the carpet there is great rot. When Lula was president, the world experienced an economic BOOM. When this boom passed, the trail of corruption and dirt sank our nation. All our wealth at that time was stolen by Lula and his people. Businessmen, dictators and powerful people took our wealth in the most corrupt way possible, , through Lula. With the internet, a lot of things have come to light. Many masks have fallen. That's why in Brazil today there is a movement by the judiciary and the executive to control the internet and content. Censorship in Brazil today is real. And it is applied by the judiciary at the behest of the current executive, Lula. Brazil does not need its neighbors. They need Brazil. Brazil is the largest and most powerful economy in South America. Brazil has much more to offer than to receive. It's not about having relationships, Lula invests in dictatorships, sends money from the Brazilian people to dictators, for years! And we have nothing in return. In fact, many countries in South America owe a lot of money to Brazil and have never paid and will not pay thanks to Lula. While the people themselves live in misery. Lula does support dictatorships. It is clear that practically all of Lula's speeches contain countless lies. He is not a good articulator. He uses corruption to buy everything and everyone. This is how he gets what he wants. Paying and giving positions in the government. If Bolsonaro is corrupt, his corruption must be proven and he must pay for it.

[@malosb7887]

Exatamente! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@malosb7887]

Mesma coisa ele deixar esse tonto desse americano falar q POA tem festival de acordeon dando a entender q é pq tinha nazistas lá, e não pq a colonização só sul tem grd influência germânica por causa do imigrantes!

[@carolc7249]

Thank you! You said everything I was thinking while watching this video. But apparently Rafinha is in Lula's side, witch is sad. A comedian that lost everything because of people trying to censor him, now embraces a government that is trying to censor de midia and the internet.

[@henry247]

Facts.

Sai do ZAP, cara, nenhuma prova contra o Lula e várias contra o Bolsonaro e tu ainda tá nessa

[@dionatasoliveira2484]

Rafi is a radical on the far left( democrats), so he has a completely distorted view of real Brazilian politics. It’s a liar
