Please help us. Welcome Chocolate Uno on and on.
00:09
Yes. Thank you so much for coming,
00:11
Joan. We've been wanting to have you as a guest for
00:13
so long. So we're happy to have you.
00:15
It's a pleasure to be here.
00:16
So where did you get your name?
00:18
People called me like basically they said I was the only black
00:22
person to, you know,
00:24
mash this kind of dance style and lifestyle type of thing.
00:28
So they call me chocolate one and the one and only chocolate
00:32
I love that.
00:33
So we've seen your moves.
00:35
You definitely had some insider training.
00:40
How did you get so good?
00:42
Like everywhere you dance it the vibe.
00:44
So my friend Claudia,
00:45
she took me to one of her friend's houses and then it
00:50
was a dude there.
00:51
He said, I bet I could beat you in Zapata.
00:53
I'm like, no,
00:54
you can't. And it's like the it was like,
00:59
I only knew the first step of Zapata,
01:01
which is just the lead up to the whole thing and he
01:04
knew the whole thing.
01:05
And so he did it.
01:06
I'm like, dang,
01:07
I don't know that one.
01:08
So after he went,
01:10
I tried to copy it or mimic it because that's usually how
01:13
I learn my moves.
01:14
I just, I look and then I just do whatever I
01:17
do. So he taught me how to do that.
01:19
And then from then on,
01:20
I just put my own little spin on it and that's what
01:22
makes it different because dude,
01:25
you're viral like I,
01:27
I see him like my man.
01:30
So your moves match your Spanish skills.
01:34
I would say my legs are definitely more Spanish than how I
01:39
speak. My legs are bilingual.
01:43
OK? Yes. Your leg.
01:45
What's your favorite Spanish word?
01:49
I would say you could be out of pocket.
01:52
Yeah, go ahead.
01:53
All right. That's what I'm saying.
01:57
That's what I, I love it.
02:00
OK? Cool. Hey,
02:01
I know. You know what I'm saying?
02:04
That's what I want to get tattooed A LV on me because
02:08
that's a life scene.
02:09
Exactly. You can say everything,
02:13
right? Like if someone in the comments starts talking crap.
02:18
Yeah, I love it.
02:22
I love it. And so being able to pull someone out
02:26
to dance definitely adds Riz.
02:29
Has it translated with the ladies?
02:32
Of course, I'm not even gonna lie.
02:37
First of all,
02:37
I'm black. So that's crazy already.
02:40
You know what I'm saying?
02:40
A lot of, a lot of Spanish girls love black men
02:43
right? And,
02:44
and it just adds extra points if you know how to dance
02:48
their style. So it's just like,
02:50
yeah, I could say I had to time with the ladies
02:53
I bet Latina the Mexicana they go crazy.
02:58
I bet they're like,
02:58
who is this? Beautiful chocolate man?
03:01
I love most of the toxic.
03:05
I love the toxic.
03:06
Yes. And they love you.
03:08
I'm sure. Indeed.
03:10
Indeed. And how do you obviously like you're in social media
03:14
and if you're big in social media and when you're big in
03:17
social media, you get like haters and stuff like that.
03:19
Like how do you combat the haters?
03:21
So you don't, the thing is you do not combat you
03:23
don't, what is it?
03:25
They gonna be haters regardless.
03:27
This is true. You're on a different type of level.
03:29
You know what I'm saying?
03:30
And they're behind the screen just hating.
03:32
This is true. So I don't take them seriously.
03:34
You know what I'm saying?
03:35
Because behind the screen and I'm actually in real life,
03:38
you know what I'm saying?
03:39
Unite in the community.
03:41
I'm doing a good cause a positive,
03:43
positive thing. So just how you deal with the negativity is
03:47
just, you know what I'm saying?
03:48
I love that. You're like positive vibes,
03:50
like positive vibes. You don't need that negativity.
03:52
How could you hate a positive vibe?
03:54
I agree. Sadly in this world people do.
03:58
But yeah, you know what I'm saying?
03:59
You gonna get them sour apples.
04:01
That's true. You know we all ripe over here.
04:08
Yeah. There you go.
04:09
I love that. I love that mentality.
04:11
OK? So you're here,
04:13
you're in the building we can't just have you sitting down that's
04:16
like, you know,
04:17
we can't, we got to see a little something,
04:19
something. Do you mind teaching us some moves and teaching these
04:22
gringos how it's done?
04:23
I do not mind.
04:24
Let's get it. So I wanna make my downstairs neighbors wake
04:30
up like at like one in the morning.
04:32
What would be the basics?
04:34
OK. So the basic step would be like a,
04:36
a side to side step but still have rhythm.
04:38
OK? So it will go like that.
04:43
There you go. Kind of like tap dancing.
04:49
We go forward that oh shoot,
04:53
let me take this off real quick.
04:59
FFFFFF. So that's the practice.
05:10
What's a more complicated step like,
05:12
so you see Shai like Latina,
05:15
I, you, she sees your dancing.
05:19
She's like, oh OK,
05:20
you wanna impress her.
05:21
It's more of a zap.
05:23
This is when you get deeper into it.
05:25
So it's more steps.
05:39
I'm gonna see some roaches and I'm like,
05:42
you gotta do it,
05:43
you know what I'm saying?
05:43
Step up and do it and then she'll join in and then
05:47
OK, I don't know my shoelace.
05:53
Sorry guys, please hold,
05:56
there we go. See it was so intense that my shoelaces
05:59
were like exactly. They said I give up on it.
06:01
Oh Fuck, dude.
06:02
