FunTranscript
00:00I want to have... I think we should talk about love.
00:04No.
00:10How many children do you have?
00:11Four, yes. Mabel is 29 now.
00:14She lives here in Arica.
00:18Dayan is 26.
00:20He's accompanying us here, he works with you.
00:22He works with me.
00:23He's an audiovisual communicator.
00:24Exactly.
00:25Then comes Dominga, who is 11 years old.
00:28He's in a relationship with Pepa.
00:30And Mateo, who is the youngest, who is three and a half years old.
00:35It's crazy.
00:36When I didn't think that the little man would come.
00:39It's another type of relationship.
00:41It's making a difference between women.
00:43But I didn't know that relationship.
00:44In fact, I thought I didn't need it.
00:47There are more Indians there.
00:50Really?
00:51Yes.
00:53That was done in English.
00:57Yes, yes, oh my God.
01:04But you were a super young dad here.
01:05Super young, 16 years old.
01:07An old boy.
01:09How did you get the paternity at 16?
01:12Not prepared at all.
01:13I was a boy with another boy in my arms.
01:16I had to work, work, work.
01:18Fortunately, I was able to evolve in a job.
01:22Economically, too.
01:25I think that helped to have a closeness first.
01:28Because I have to be honest.
01:29I was the best dad.
01:31With my oldest daughters.
01:34It's not like that.
01:35Simply because they didn't have the experience.
01:37And then you became a father for the second time when you were 19?
01:3918.
01:4018?
01:41Of course, 18, 19.
01:43But there with the mother of your second daughter.
01:46She is not the mother of your first daughter.
01:48That's right.
01:49And how did you face this paternity again at 18?
01:54I learned.
01:56It was literally that.
01:58And then my relationship with Pepa was much more grounded.
02:01And I must admit that also in large part because of her.
02:05We have been together for 24 years.
02:08And only 12 years ago we decided to have children.
02:13Yes.
02:14At what age did you fall in love with Pepa?
02:1719 years old.
02:1919 years old.
02:20Did you know her before or not?
02:21No, I met her when I went to the Grupo Alegría.
02:23And?
02:24I met her there at a dance in Los Andes.
02:27A totally different world.
02:29She didn't like the cumbia.
02:31She didn't even know about this cumbia, the sound or anything.
02:33But an aunt of hers did like it.
02:35And she saw that in Los Andes, the place where she was vacationing,
02:39there was a hand-to-hand musical between the Grupo Alegría and the Grupo Fantasía.
02:43They went to see it.
02:44And there was Perla right on the stage singing.
02:47They came in, she saw me, she went crazy.
02:51No, we saw each other.
02:53And me too.
02:54Did you catch the shot with her?
02:55Of course.
02:56She came in, young, pretty, blonde.
03:01She was very pretty.
03:02Like you, but without a beard.
03:08It was very nice because it was literally suffocating us with the sight all night.
03:14At the end of the day, we said goodbye.
03:18We gave each other the phone.
03:20There were no cell phones, just fixed ones.
03:23And in memory.
03:25In fact, I still remember the phone.
03:27In memory.
03:28And we parted.
03:30A little kiss like that.
03:31A little kiss.
03:32A little kiss and that was it.
03:34And I thought she was going to catch me.
03:37And luckily she called me.
03:39Until I started pushing to...
03:42When I started to travel, I went to Santiago.
03:44And I started to see that there were opportunities there.
03:47And I started to push the group to go to Santiago.
03:49In 1999, on January 15, 1999.
03:51From Pito Pololeo to today.
03:54How has your marriage been in general?
03:56We've both been growing up.
03:58It has been...
04:00It has accompanied us in very complicated moments.
04:04And also...
04:05Today we are doing better.
04:07We have also been able to enjoy that.
04:09We have two beautiful children.
04:11We have had our complicated moments.
04:14In fact, when I decided to make this change,
04:16this complete turn of my life,
04:18it was also because of her.
04:20Without saying that I had this car crash,
04:22but she also told me,
04:23I'm giving juice,
04:24they can't see you like that,
04:25you're complicated.
04:26Get out of the house.
04:28And she literally kicked me out of the house.
04:30Now it's a pandemic.
04:31Of course, pandemic.
04:32And I left the house.
04:33And it was like...
04:34I went to my office.
04:36There I continued with the chupe.
04:38I went to the office crying my eyes out,
04:40being the victim as well.
04:42Crying everything out.
04:44One day I was at my mother's house.
04:46A couple of days at my sister's house.
04:48And I said,
04:49what am I doing?
04:51It was enough with the pandemic.
04:53Without being able to work.
04:55It was like...
04:56I have to make a change.
04:58I decided to take the reins of my life.
05:00Take charge.
05:02And do something really important for me.
05:05And that's when I said,
05:06between consciousness and unconsciousness,
05:08I have to make a change.
05:10And that was the radical change to this day.
05:13You don't drink anymore today?
05:15No, nothing.
05:16Two and a half years without anything.
05:19Nothing, no beer?
05:20No, no beer, no wine, nothing.
05:22I can't even share.
05:24In fact, today the decision...
05:26The easiest thing for me is to invite her
05:29to have a glass of something.
05:31I can tell her right away that no.
05:33Without any problem.
05:36It's very different.
05:37When I start to have these feelings,
05:39this anguish,
05:40of course I feel like it.
05:42But today I understand it.
05:44Today I know why it happens to me.
05:46Today I say, why am I sad?
05:48What's happening to me?
05:49And that's where I have my conversations.
05:51And I've also been able to make decisions.
05:52The change has been very painful.
05:54Not only to do it well,
05:56dedicate myself to my work,
05:57dedicate myself to my children,
05:58to my family,
05:59dedicate myself to myself,
06:00stop drinking.
06:01No, not only that,
06:02but it has also been to discover
06:03that I didn't have friends.
06:05That I had to repair many things,
06:08even with my own family.
06:11That I also had to have
06:13other types of relationships.
06:15Improve my communication with Pepa.
06:18Also make decisions with her.
06:22For example,
06:23what do I want to do with my life?
06:25Where do I want to live?
06:26I want to live in the United States.
06:28In fact, I live in the United States.
06:30But I'm alone.
06:31Because she doesn't like it.
06:32She didn't get used to it or anything.
06:34And I had to understand her.
06:36I give her her space
06:37and she also gives me my space today.
06:39So it has been...
06:40In our history we have had everything.
06:42Everything, everything.
06:43What do you feel about her today?
06:46I love her.
06:47I mean, I can say with all authority
06:49that I love her.
06:50I love her.
06:52I like her.
06:53I like her a lot.
06:55I like her more than before.
06:57That's nice.
06:58That's very nice.
06:59About your family,
07:00your relationship with Pepa.
07:01I also asked you about paternity.
07:03I want to show you the following.
07:07Hi, Pepito.
07:08I send you this greeting
07:09to tell you how much I love you,
07:11how proud I am of you,
07:13for how far you have come,
07:15for everything you have achieved.
07:18I hope we can see each other soon again.
07:22Many, many blessings.
07:24May God bless you
07:25and pray for you a lot.
07:26Kisses.
07:28Hi, Tata Mingo.
07:29We send you a greeting
07:30to tell you that we love you very much.
07:32Take care.
07:33Bye, bye.
07:34Bye.
07:35Hi, Dad.
07:36I love you.
07:37Someday we will have
07:38our own stand-up show
07:39where we will laugh at all the stupid things
07:41that come to mind
07:42when we are working together.
07:44Thank you for everything,
07:46for accompanying us
07:47in one way or another,
07:49for being willing to grow
07:51together with your daughters,
07:52with your son.
07:53I know that between all the rhythm
07:55that involves your work
07:57and everything that entails,
07:59suddenly it is difficult
08:01to make the spaces with the family,
08:03but you always manage
08:05to be there for all of us
08:07in one way or another.
08:11Hi, Tata.
08:12I love you very much.
08:14Hi, Dad.
08:15I wanted to send you this video,
08:17Jorgito,
08:18to tell you that I love you very much.
08:20Thank you very much
08:21for all these years of affection
08:23and thank you very much
08:24for everything you do for us.
08:26Bye.
08:27Dad, I love you very much.
08:29And I want to give you a kiss.
08:32I want to give you a kiss.
08:35I love you.
08:38How nice.
08:39How wonderful.
08:40The grandchildren appeared there.
08:43It's nice when you hear it
08:44from the oldest children.
08:46Yes.
08:47With the love and gratitude
08:49they give you,
08:50because it means that
08:52you have done it much better
08:53perhaps than you think.
08:55Well, I hope so.
08:56I hope so.
08:57And keep doing the work.
09:00There is no such challenge.
09:02Sometimes we find a way.
09:05I have also spoken a lot about changing.
09:08But now it's the other important thing
09:10which is to maintain those changes.
09:12Keep it, keep it, keep it.
09:14It's the work.
09:15It's the hardest work.
09:17And I also understand many people
09:19who don't want to do it
09:21in a quite complicated world,
09:22quite crazy,
09:23a difficult world.
09:24Vestigious.
09:25Exactly.
09:26But I decided to take this path.
09:29The path of doing my best,
09:33to give my best,
09:35to teach them and myself
09:38my best version.
