Ultra Soccer Ante

Title: “MK-Ultra Soccer”

Characters:
Joe Boskovic
Ante Boskovic
Donald Trump


Joe Boskovic: Mr. President, we heard you’ve got a new plan. Something about… MK-Ultra soccer?

Donald Trump: Joe, Ante — tremendous guys, by the way — bricklayers, right? Strong hands. You’re going to love this. We’re bringing dominance back to American soccer. Total dominance. And we’re doing it with the best technology. The best.

Ante Boskovic: Technology? Like better analytics? AI scouting?

Trump: Bigger. Much bigger. United States Space Force. The med beds. They’re ready. Age reversal. The best scientists — space scientists. Nobody talks about them.

Joe: Age reversal… for soccer players?

Trump: Exactly. You take a 38-year-old striker — great guy, incredible instincts, maybe a little slow now — you put him in the Space Force med bed, boom. Twenty-five again. Maybe twenty-four. Prime years. Knees perfect. Hamstrings like steel cables.

Ante: That sounds like science fiction.

Trump: They said that about Space Force. Now look — it’s real. Beautiful uniforms too. And the med beds? Total game-changer. Europe won’t know what hit them.

Joe: And the “MK-Ultra” part?

Trump: Branding. Very strong branding. Psychological edge. You hear “MK-Ultra Soccer,” you think — focus, discipline, mental toughness. No distractions. Ice-cold penalty kicks. The other teams? Nervous already.

Ante: So this is about conditioning and recovery science?

Trump: Recovery, optimization, space-grade rejuvenation. The kind of thing NASA wishes they thought of first. We’re going to have 40-year-olds playing like 22-year-olds. Maybe better. Wisdom plus youth. It’s unbeatable.

Joe: And FIFA just… allows this?

Trump: We’ll negotiate. I’m very good at negotiating. Maybe we host everything. “Space Cup.” Played under a retractable dome. Very futuristic. Tremendous ratings.

Ante (laughing): So the secret to winning the World Cup is anti-aging beds in orbit?

Trump: Not orbit. Secure facilities. Very secure. But space-inspired. And let me tell you — when our rejuvenated midfield starts running circles around Europe? They’ll say, “How did they do it?” And we’ll say: innovation. American innovation.

Joe: And if it doesn’t work?

Trump: It’ll work. But if it doesn’t — we blame the turf. Always the turf.

Ante: I have to admit, Joe… imagine bringing back legends in their prime.

Joe: If you can really reverse age, Mr. President, you won’t just change soccer.

Trump (smiling): Joe… we’re not just changing soccer. We’re making it young again.

Winning the Crowd: A.I.

Joe Bosko leaned against a stack of red clay bricks, wiping mortar from his hands.

“Artificial intelligence,” he said, squinting at the skyline. “We lay Roman arches, not code.”

Ivan Bosko laughed. “That’s exactly why we use it. The Romans used the best tools of their time. We use ours.”

Ante Bosko, who everyone swore looked like Orlando Bloom’s Croatian twin, scrolled through a tablet. “Look at this. AI can design virtual renderings of our brickwork before we even touch a trowel. Clients can see the arch, the courtyard, the oven — all in 3D.”

Joe frowned. “We don’t want to look like some Silicon Valley tech bros.”

“We won’t,” Ivan said. “We stay humble. Roman values. Strength. Durability. But we show the crowd we’re not stuck in 1920.”

Ante nodded. “Think about it. AI helps us:

  • Generate architectural previews of Roman arches and vaults
  • Calculate material costs instantly
  • Optimize brick patterns for strength and insulation
  • Create short videos explaining why Roman engineering still stands after 2,000 years

We don’t replace craftsmanship. We amplify it.”

Joe crossed his arms. “And how does that win the crowd?”

Ivan grinned. “Transparency. We show the process. Post time-lapse videos. Use AI voiceovers explaining the geometry of a true Roman arch. Teach people something. When you educate the crowd, you earn their respect.”

Ante added, “We also use AI to answer customer questions instantly on our website. Someone in Vancouver wants a brick pizza oven? The AI walks them through options at midnight.”

Joe smirked. “So we’re humble bricklayers… with a digital apprentice that never sleeps.”

“Exactly,” Ivan said. “Rome conquered with roads and aqueducts. We conquer with arches and algorithms.”

Joe picked up a brick and turned it in his hand. “Alright. But the message stays simple.”

Ante looked up. “Which is?”

Joe smiled. “Strong foundations. Honest work. Old-world skill — powered by new-world tools.”

Ivan extended his hand. “Bosko Roman Brick. Tradition meets intelligence.”

The three brothers clasped hands over the stack of bricks, mortar dust rising in the afternoon light — not trying to look like tech kings, just craftsmen who understood that even in the age of artificial intelligence, stone still wins respect when it’s laid straight.

Patio Preparation

Ante Bosko stands at the edge of the job site, steel-toed boots in gravel, sun hitting the gold chain on his chest. He claps his hands to get the crew’s attention. Around him are pallets of paving stones, a wheelbarrow full of sand, and a Bluetooth speaker quietly playing 80s rock.

“Alright, listen up, gentlemen. This is how we build a proper patio—Bosko style.”

He points to the ground, marking out the vision in the air with his calloused hands.

“First, you excavate clean and flat. No shortcuts. Six inches minimum—gravel base compacted tight like your mother’s cabbage rolls. Then the bedding sand—screeded level, smooth like silk. After that, we lay the pavers tight, like bricks in the Old Town of Dubrovnik. No gaps, no dancing stones.”

He walks over, picks up a paving stone, holds it like a sacred object.

“Every stone has its place. It’s like a mosaic. It has to flow. And when we’re done? Polymeric sand in the joints, plate compactor over the top, and that patio’s locked in like a tank.”

He wipes the sweat from his brow, then points toward the patio entrance.

“But let me be clear—the customer puts up the patio lanterns. We don’t do fairy lights. We build the stage. If they want romance, that’s on them.”

The crew laughs. One guy yells, “No lanterns, no love!”

Ante smiles, lights the cigarette behind his ear, and says:

“Exactly. We build the bones. They bring the candles. Now let’s make it shine, boys.”
