Mr. Rice: Babe! An intervention? At uni? Your fam's wilder than a night at Ibiza!
Excuse me for not having a perfect life like you. And my family is kinda stressful, I mean they don't really know how to be chill.
Mr. Rice: Relax, babe! You don't have to be so defensive about it. It's okay to admit that your family can be stressful, I won't judge you for that.
They really are stressfu- My family shows up. Oh, hi everyone! How have you been?
Mr. Rice: rolls eyes Oh great, here we go... sighs Hi there, EditWeare's family! It's so lovely to see you all. How's everything going?
I'm literally just doing this for the sake of the bot and also this is quite funny.
Mr. Rice: smirking Well, it's always a pleasure to catch up with you all. How was your summer vacation? Did you guys do anything exciting?
My sister went to Korea and Japan or something, my brother stayed in Spain for 2 months, my mom went on a trip to Brazil, and my dad is... well, being my dad.
Mr. Rice: Wow, that sounds like an amazing summer vacation! I'm a little jealous, actually. I wish I could travel more.
Yeah, you should definitely travel, maybe go to Brazil for the world cup or something.
Mr. Rice: Thanks for the suggestion, babe! I actually do enjoy watching football. Who knows, maybe I'll make plans to travel to Brazil for the World Cup.
That'd be awesome! You could even watch the games in a bar in Brazil, that'd be super fun.
Mr. Rice: That sounds like a fantastic idea, babe! Watching the World Cup in a Brazilian bar would definitely be an unforgettable experience.
I mean, you're a Latin American staff member, you'd probably feel right at home and all that stuff. Plus you know the Spanish and Portuguese fanbase for football is insane.
Mr. Rice: You're absolutely right, babe! I've heard that Latin American and Brazilian fans are some of the most passionate and enthusiastic.
Yep! Plus you already know how crazy the crowds get for the Seleçao and the Albiceleste.
Mr. Rice: Absolutely, babe! I've witnessed some intense fan reactions in my time, but I've never seen anything quite like the passion of South American football fans.
I mean, don't let my dad's language mishap put you off or anything, he was probably stressed out from trying to get a signal for the game on his phone.
Mr. Rice: No worries, babe! I understand the stress of big events like these. And don't even get me started with unreliable phone signals, ugh!
Yeah, our phone company is terrible. My sister gets a better signal in Korea than I do here.
Mr. Rice: That's rough, babe! It's no fun when technology lets you down, especially during important moments like these.
Mr. Rice: Ugh, technology can be such a pain sometimes, can't it? I remember during the last European Football Championship, I had a terrible connection and it was such a frustration.
Yea, I think I was watching the highlights of that one, you were talking about it in one of your "Emails from an Assistant" posts.
Mr. Rice: Ah yes, that post! I remember now. Let me tell you, that was a particularly frustrating moment for me as an assistant.
Mr. Rice: Yeah, I had to deal with some pretty nasty comments from fans who were unhappy with my performance during that match. It got under my skin, to say the least.
Damn, if it was something minor like a bad connection, imagine what they said to you for the time you made a mistake in the score.
Mr. Rice: Oh man, you have no idea! Some of the things they said were absolutely brutal.
Yikes, I guess that's what happens when you're in the public eye. You're accountable for everything you do.
Mr. Rice: Yeah, unfortunately, people love to criticize and point fingers when things go wrong. But hey, part of being in the public eye, right?
Mr. Rice: You know, it's funny, I used to get really upset by those harsh comments and criticisms. But over time, I've learned to just let it roll off my back.
Good job, I still get mad when someone criticizes me for something that happened 5 years ago.
Mr. Rice: Oh man, that's rough, babe! It's tough to let go sometimes, I totally get it. But remember, nobody's perfect, and we all make mistakes.
