According to ai
These are the current top
LATAM BROs
running the show…
Very interesting !
Do we agree ??
( ai made the caricatures, not me ! )
I find it very disrespectful @Scotian82 was left out !
King of Bolivia too @itsjacksworld
& looks like it doesn’t take ‘general’ type LATAM accounts into consideration I.e @MyLatinLife @TheLatamGuy etc
Drama !
One of the best feelings in the world:
Releasing unconscious muscle tension while getting into a meditative trance.
tiny muscles around the eyes
deep in the traps
the hands
Almost orgasmic when you ‘let go’ .
Really is crazy how many people live with this tension all day without even realizing it.
Couldn’t imagine life without meditation.
Insane
🇧🇷 bros,
It was that bad early 90s ???
Crazy to think.
Being around my Brazilian amigos & just how drastically different we grew up.
Might be the longest episode I've done...
And well worth it.
What a life, what a story, and an encyclopedia on travel, culture, history...
German James Bond even tried putting mr BLOOMER bold in his place earlier on,
but we swiftly got over it and had a highly naunced convo !
My pleasure, can't wait to have another chat in Monaco someday over cigars my friend @SporiSport 🤝

This early fall French Med
Weather & vibe
Is unreal
High 70s right now.
Clear skies. Very calm, but not dead.
So peaceful
🇦🇷 bros
I’ve dug into the Corralito a little
Yes, their seems to be many who made out quite well from it,
& it really was an absolute disaster,
But not all who got rich off it were Jews either.
Is crazy how many fled to Israel for ‘law of return’ right after (but many were average middle class who lost everything & were given support)
Also didn’t normal people see the writing on the wall and start stacking / pulling out too, no ?
Or was it really only the ones who got inside info from the banks…
There is ZERO accountability for the average Argentine in all this ?
CORRALITO 💊 me POR FAVOR
No SLOP give me some sort of nuance
REMINDER
I’ve been saying France is BACK all year
Called every name in the book. Laughed at. Attacked !
When will you finally listen to mr bold &
STOP DOOMING ??
Jean Phil had me fooled for a few days, I won’t lie
Couple years ago people said ai would take 5 / 10 years to MAYBE start fooling you
I use ai hours on end each day,
& I really thought those first couple of videos were legit
Pretty spooky.
Nice little catch up episode with the RIPSTER
His Balkan summer, him moggin economy cattle bros on Emirates BC, insane Mark Dowdle inspo,
& plenty more
Sit back this weekend, crack a beverage, and cleanse your vibes with a bold x ripper chat

Was getting dystopian.
Anytime I was at a bar with a ⚽️ game on, the entire field was covered in betting ads
Broadcast overlays.
Commercials.
It felt extremely predatory
Especially considering how little discretionary income most Brazilians have.
Got my CPF quite easy with Brazilian lawyer
Residency process on the other hand was absolute hell & was what finally 🇧🇷 blackpilled me
Spent lots of time last month getting a CPF, bank, and SIM in Brazil and it's mostly a bureaucratic humiliation ritual for foreigners where every step goes wrong, including steps you never knew existed.
Across Asia I can generally land, get a SIM with working data in minutes and maybe even open a bank account within an hour.
For years you could get a CPF by email, so you'll find countless people telling you online it's quick and easy. That information is now out of date. Here's the truth as of 2026:
You used to be able to get the whole thing done at Banco do Brasil or the Correios for R$7. Now they just charge you to fill out and print a form you can do yourself online for free. Bargain.
Either way, you then have to take the form to the Receita Federal (RF). You can't just turn up during opening hours either. You won't even get past the security guard.
It took two trips before he finally shared the secret: you need to be there at 8am, an hour before they open, because they only issue 15 CPFs per day. 🤯
So on the third trip I at least knew to turn up early. I was 3rd in line and it still took 2 hours, but I did at least get confirmation my CPF would arrive by email within a week. Hard part over. You'd think.
Then came the phone number.
I tried to buy a Vivo eSIM online, but to buy a Brazilian phone number from their website you need a Brazilian phone number to sign up. Makes sense, why else would you be wanting to buy a phone number from a telco if you didn't already have one. 🐔🥚
So I figured I'd try going to a store. They tell me they don't sell prepaid SIMs or issue eSIMs, and that I should go buy one at a kiosk. Apple stores also don't sell iPhones anymore I hear.
The kiosk sells physical SIMs. Fine. I'll activate it in my old phone, convert it to eSIM and move it to my real phone. I am sure that'll all go smoothly. I figured activation would work at least. Nope.
I text my CPF to the activation number and they say it's invalid. Awesome. Of course it is. Why would that work. 🤪
The store can't activate it either. Apparently it can take ~3 months for a new CPF to propagate through their systems and I need to “use it in other systems” in the meantime, like the supermarket.
Five hours of online support later (they do let you AFK at least 🙃), they finally activate the SIM using a photo of my passport next to my CPF on my phone.
Except because it was activated with my passport, not my CPF, I can't convert it to eSIM or use their app, and they text me every few days threatening to deactivate my line. Wonderful.
Then they tell me the SIM can't even receive SMS until I top it up. Makes sense, why make it work like other telcos when you can add random extra steps.
So I try to top it up, but their website requires SMS verification to do that, and my phone can't even receive that SMS. One must already have credit to acquire credit. Nice.
So I top it up through Ding instead. Why not, we've come this far. I'd have used my Brazil bank but of course I can't get one of those until the number works.
Now I finally have a working Brazilian SIM with data, but only in my old phone, and every few days they text me that my CPF is invalid and they're going to deactivate my line. Done? Done.
Next the bank.
I discover that most banks won't let a foreigner open an account with just a CPF anymore. My friends have all kinds of accounts that you can no longer obtain. You now need additional Brazilian ID that generally only residents and long-term visa holders can obtain.
I did eventually manage to open a C6 account and get PIX working, but that account is tied to the same phone number that may randomly self-immolate.
So after a week I have a CPF that some systems recognize and some don't, a bank account tied to that number, and a SIM card I can't put in my actual phone.
At least I can finally pay for my own Mate 😂🍹
Welcome to Brazil 🇧🇷
