Today we are here with Jesus Garcia A K Mr Chuy.
00:08
Dude. I feel like,
00:10
you know, we finally meet,
00:11
well, virtually because I would see your video and now we
00:15
have to get to talk.
00:16
Yes, I love your videos.
00:18
I feel like I feel like we grew up in the same
00:21
household. It's weird like our parents have a handbook,
00:25
you know, that they can follow because we all go through
00:27
the same stuff, you know,
00:29
Mexican dads. What are they?
00:32
Joy. Yeah. OK.
00:43
Stuff. Hispanic kids went through De Ninos Menor to Otis.
00:51
What are you DNS?
00:59
And every time I send my mom the videos,
01:01
I'm like, she's like,
01:02
yeah, that's me family somehow.
01:04
You know, like there's probably some sort of blood,
01:07
you know, Garcia blood,
01:10
you know, something or the same town or your mom probably
01:14
knows me and I don't know.
01:15
Yeah, he's probably like her primo.
01:17
You're definitely some way somehow,
01:20
some way. So what was your first viral video?
01:23
I would say when I did my Valentine series on during
01:28
Valentine's Day, I've done two and those,
01:31
those went like super viral and people just love that whole Valentine's
01:35
series and it was like,
01:36
when you did a Latina,
01:37
right? And it was a whole thing where,
01:39
you know, you'd be the hot Cheetos and the tacos and
01:41
all that fucked up.
01:42
It's like a starter pack in a way.
01:44
Oh, for sure.
01:45
Yeah. And we,
01:48
we talked earlier about how we're all kind of related.
01:51
So, like, what's your favorite family member to impersonate or
01:54
like you channel the best in your videos?
01:56
My mom is the one I've definitely done a lot.
01:59
But lately, yeah.
02:00
Yeah. Lately I,
02:01
I really like to do to my dad,
02:03
you know, they're more like,
02:04
calm, relaxed but like,
02:05
you know, the words are powerful.
02:07
My mom character,
02:08
I do more like,
02:09
you know, she'll yell at you more and like it's,
02:11
it's, it's this not that So definitely,
02:15
I think my top two at least is my mom and my
02:17
dad. But my favorite one I think,
02:19
I think, I think it's my dad.
02:21
I love one that they hang out in public and,
02:24
and the, and the,
02:24
but I sure you leave the two unbutton.
02:26
So it looks kind of like you just come out of work
02:30
and how does your mom feel like or how do your
02:32
parents feel about you Impersonating them?
02:34
Like, have they seen your videos?
02:36
They don't care. They think it's funny,
02:39
you know, the one thing about being Latino is that,
02:41
you know, we don't,
02:41
we don't care, you know,
02:42
like everyone thinks it's funny when you,
02:45
when you make something relatable.
02:46
So I don't think anyone's feelings are Latinos.
02:49
Nobody, no feelings are hurt.
02:51
I mean, I feel like Latinos in general but how about
02:53
your family? Does a family achievement ever like,
02:56
so the pop up on your,
02:57
on your content. So I definitely used family.
03:00
Geez, I ain't gonna lie.
03:01
A lot of times I use my my,
03:03
you know how my act,
03:05
my, my d act in person through my mom or through
03:10
a comadre, right?
03:11
And I also use my uncles through my dad too,
03:14
you know, so I kind of use all these different people
03:18
into one character. But no,
03:20
I think for the most part the family,
03:23
the family and nobody cares,
03:24
man, you know,
03:25
like it's just funny,
03:26
just make it funny,
03:27
you know, and,
03:28
and people just, they can't even like really relate and maybe
03:31
they can like say,
03:33
oh, that kind of happened to me and I was like
03:34
well, yeah,
03:35
of course, you know,
03:35
I took the idea from you at the last time I saw
03:38
you, you was exaggerating that,
03:42
you know, that's funny.
03:43
