     Me surgió la oportunidad de ir en el avión de la selección española de fútbol a Qatar y bueno, iba a grabar contenido, no iba a hacer directos, sino que iba a grabar contenidos, pero no me sale de los cojones y no lo voy a hacer.

     I had the opportunity to fly to Qatar on the Spanish national football team's plane, and well, I was going to record content. I wasn't going to do live shows, but I was going to record content, but I just can't bring myself to do it, and I'm not going to do it.
