00:00
This might be a hot take.
00:01
But I think gasoline is the closest we'll ever get to world
00:04
peace. What I'm just saying?
00:08
You hear the first three seconds of that song?
00:10
It doesn't matter how old you are,
00:11
where you are, who you are with.
00:14
This song will make the room move.
00:26
You don't know. Like I could be like depressed,
00:30
tired, but I'm like,
00:33
that should be our alarm for the morning.
00:34
Can you imagine the third?
00:37
That's the way it starts.
00:38
That is true, brother.
00:40
I agree. I actually saw a video of a little boy
00:43
performing at his talent show and it went viral in the cat
00:57
Dude. I've been seeing that everywhere and that just proves our
01:01
point. So, you know what?
01:03
He's actually all grown up,
01:04
so he's not a little boy anymore.
01:05
I'm sorry. P he's here with us right now.
01:09
Daily. Eric Esqueda.
01:10
Hello. Hello. How's it going?
01:13
Hey, thank you for joining us,
01:14
Eric Internet royalty in the house.
01:19
We'll talk about your video.
01:22
I'm honored. Thank you so much for coming on.
01:25
We want to ask how old were you when you performed Gasolina
01:30
I think it was last year.
01:35
six or seven. I had to,
01:36
it was like, first grade.
01:38
around that range for sure.
01:40
How did the crowd react?
01:43
it's funny like when I watch,
01:44
when I watch it back,
01:46
they're just, they're losing it compared to like,
01:49
I don't want to diss the other compared to the
01:54
it was a, it was a landslide victory.
01:56
It all, it was crazy.
01:57
What inspired you to perform Gasolina for the crowd?
02:01
It's, it's all my mom,
02:02
you know, all the music she'd be playing.
02:06
I was probably like singing in a bunch in the car and
02:10
somehow and maybe like the talent show Flyer flew across my
02:15
desk or something. And I was just like,
02:17
you know what, let's go for it.
02:19
And then I submitted gasoline and they were like,
02:21
sure they're like, let's do it.
02:36
And your tiktok. So it went pretty viral.
02:39
27 million views. What were the comments saying?
02:44
And like any favorite comments that stuck out to you?
02:48
A lot of people think I'm still that age.
02:54
That's what I'm like we're going to interview the little boy and
03:00
then like, it was just,
03:01
I'm like, sorry to disappoint,
03:03
you know. But I like,
03:06
I just feel I got for like a lot of the comments
03:09
People wanted me to do their weddings.
03:12
People wanted me to,
03:13
someone asked if I did funerals.
03:16
So I saw a few right here that made me like
03:21
just right again, a quick scroll,
03:23
social anxiety is scared of,
03:25
bro. And that's so true because dude,
03:26
you will again, like first grade and you're up there like
03:29
you know, putting your heart out like,
03:31
dude, that's, you know,
03:32
props to you. And then this one telling my kids this
03:35
was Daddy Yankee. Oh my God.
03:41
I don't ever forget it.
03:42
You know, one needs a grandpa and stuff.
03:44
I hope he's seen it,
03:45
you know, because I think first grade Eric would be losing
03:50
I'm sure he has 27 million views.
03:54
People probably tagged him too.
03:57
So now you're like a dancer and a choreographer.
04:00
Like how did Dancing Gasolina shape your,
04:02
like your artistic career?
04:04
I think it definitely just opened me up to the stage and
04:07
kind of just that feeling.
04:09
I think a lot of people ask me like,
04:12
do you remember being on stage?
04:15
because I think it's like similar now,
04:18
you know, because I I've been competing for like a
04:20
few years. But I think that,
04:22
that feeling of just being on stage,
04:26
in that sense, you know,
04:27
and I feel like our generation specifically,
04:29
you know, we love Gasolina.
04:30
So does this generation.
04:31
But what do you think is like up and coming generations?
04:33
Like actual Gasolina? That's the Gasolina of 2024 of today.
04:37
Yeah., obviously I feel like bad bunny is like
04:41
anything he's been posting,
04:42
he's been putting out like,
04:46
your banger. But I think,
04:48
I think Gasolina is almost like one of those timeless songs where
04:51
no matter when you listen to it where like generations down the
04:55
road, like it's always going to be,
04:56
it comes on, everyone knows it.
04:57
It's just like it's in your blood,
05:00
you know. That's funny.
05:01
And how was your mom?
05:02
was she in the crowd?
05:04
it was the one who was the one that the girl like
05:08
him up? The mean girl.
05:11
you can hear her in the background.
05:13
You can hear her in the background like w like she's like
05:15
laughing at me. My dad in the,
05:28
it's just really sweet.
05:29
Just like hearing them,
05:30
like, laugh at my mom,
05:30
like getting mad at my dad,
05:32
like take pictures, take pictures.
05:34
My dad's like, he's like,
05:35
I can't focus right now.
05:39
Well, thank you so much for bringing down the whole moment
05:41
and again, the impact on your life and this culture,
05:45
where can people follow you and keep up with more of your
05:47
dance videos and again,
05:49

05:53
