      @El Machete No thats not what transliteration is at all. And when you're translating, although its ok here because its just a casual setting, but when you're translating professionally you have to be extremely accurate and you have to say almost the same thing they say so as to not misconstrue their message. You can change it a bit to suit the language you're translating in but you really cant change it too much

      connor brown he’s a freak too, but definitely juicing buddy
      Maybe not on a compound but he takes testosterone
      Everyone takes testosterone
      Also Yoel went to the olympics in 2000 or something?
      Yeah... he’s been juicing since then 1000%

    Yoel has a supreme peripheral perspective on life, somehow Joe and Joey who in their own right has a distinctive outlook on life that makes them understand people and their character on a sophisticated level, something not a lot of people can comprehend. Note that none of the crew gets involved much with the conversation, i understand with the language its not easy, but thats what I mean, having the mental dexterity and complexity to get past that and establish a good 2 way convo regardless. I like it

A good fella , his translating is just perfect ,between the two of these guys is an understanding ,great interview ,you find yourself getting involved and enjoying the outcome ... Yoel deserves a champ belt , he earnt it the hard way already , got champ written above his head already 🌟

    Ha! In early to mid 90s in Cuba I was 8 when a few coaches came in and picked the "strongest" looking boys to participate in judo tryouts. I thought it was extra curricular activities, that got me out of class. About 4 or 5 boys from my school got selected including me, and I trained judo for about 2 years before my parents defected to the U.S. Here I am 20+ years later putting all the pieces together, by hearing someone talk a out their experience. Kinda fascinating.
