Halloooo,
Hope all well. It's still freakishly cold here, and work / flat renovations continue apace, but we've been unusually social over the weekend nevertheless. We went out on Friday to meet a fellow gringofluencer and record some silly videos, then on to Gibran & Gabriela's on Saturday to say hi to their baby Maya, and finally a slap-up meal in Mooca on Sunday.
Meanwhile, I've made a new compilation, and my phrase of the day - "We'd have been better off going to see Pelé's film" - requires a deep dive into Brazilian TV lore. In an episode of the beloved, very silly Mexican TV show "Chaves", the titular character goes to the cinema but keeps complaining he'd rather be watching "El Chanfle", which starred the same cast as "Chaves".
For the Brazilian dub, references to the film (which wasn't released in Brazil) were swapped for "Pelé's film" because, as it turns out, Pelé starred in dozens of films including "Escape to Victory" with Michael Caine and Sylvester Stallone. And nowadays it's used as a go-to reference for whenever you'd rather be doing something else.
Hope that helps! No worries if not!
