[12:37] like Féo, for example, who makes millions in a live stream, but I did a 22-minute live stream, I made exactly 60 reais in 22 minutes, nothing more, nothing less, going through nothing more, nothing less, going through that embarrassment of what?

[12:57] worth it or not? At least I love it because there are many people who don't even earn that much in a day's work. Seeing this, you might even think, "Wow, that's not much money to humiliate yourself like that," but remember that

[13:09] I did 22 minutes. Remember that I'm a flop. If you were famous, who would you like to be? So, Renato asks Renato, if I were a famous person, if my live stream reached more people, ah, I don't know, by some miracle

[14:24] people making there jokingly doing live streams? While many people receive roses, we even have some who are panicking about roses. "Don't send me roses!" It's definitely on purpose, right? I wanted to see the reaction. "Wow, if you want to

[14:36] hire me, pay me a good salary, then I'll want to, but not here!" There are places I've been to, and I'm when someone sends a rose so she can keep receiving more roses. Ana

[14:52] Carolina, they don't like roses. Today, in fact, we're here in our room, we left everything behind, we had to change the scenery, so if... I might like this, maybe I won't leave
