After Joaco’s passage through Caja Negra – the cycle of interviews of Filo.News conducted by Julio Leiva – arrives Pimpeano. Born Galo Blasco, the streamer underwent the classic reporting and told from anecdotes to stories from his childhood and adolescence, and much more.” I define myself as a pibe re piola that would fit anywhere. I’m humorous, not streamer, because I like to change people’s mood, make people laugh that I love and love. Ever since I was a kid, I’ve always liked to convey happiness, make you laugh and change my mood. In the family together he made jokes, danced, made a fool of himself, raised his spirits in the place,” he says. Why Pimpe? I never counted it in stream as I’m going to tell you now. When I was a kid, my uncle took care of me every day: he would look for me at school, give me the food, everything, and watch Panam on TV. At the time my family used to call me ‘Chiquitín’ because I was so small. When we started to see Panam, with the song, that ‘chiqui tin pin pam, chiqui tin pin pam’, they stopped saying me little and started saying ‘Pin Pam'”, confesses. He went on: “After, bigger we started playing table tennis all day at my grandmother’s and then they started saying ‘Pin Pon’. Then I got the Pimpu as a diminutive. Then they called me Pimpazo and the Pimp came. When I had to create the name on Twitch, at first I called myself Galo Blasco, then I got ‘Pimpunazi’ and I was afraid that I’d ban Twitch, then I took out the ‘Nazi’ and put on Pimpeano.”
Delving into the family atmosphere, Pimpe says: “I was born in 1998 and in 2001 my old man went to Italy. He worked in a bank, I think he was slashed and went over there with a girlfriend I had, and I stay with my old lady who raised me until I was 15. Then he came back, but I continued to live with my family in my house, in Parque Chacabuco, and he went to live in La Plata.” My old lady raised us, raised us and loves me and my brother. He’s a lot of a relationship to my little brother because he’s got a disability and my old lady’s in full with him, as a kid I had TGD (general developmental disorder). He may not be able to say ‘hello brother, I want us to go to the kiosk to buy an alfajor’, he says ‘I want to eat an alfajor’. He’s 12 years old and we’re in a relationship, we’re laughing. He looks at me, but he has difficulty in eye contact.” As for his personal aspirations, he reveals: “As a boy I always wanted to be happy, it didn’t matter what to be, but happy. It’s the day I still think like this. I told myself I was going to do what makes me happy. When I was younger I wanted to be a vet or play ball.” Beginnings as a streamer
“At the end of 2017 I turn on my first stream and I was the whole stream with the microphone muted, I did two hours and person coming in, was leaving, because I wasn’t listening to anything. I kept stremeating and that’s when I realized I liked that, but I had it as a parallel thing because I worked in callcenter, in a hotel and other laburos. I started taking it like a hobby, to fuck with friends, to shit myself with laughter and then I realized I wanted that for my life,” he says. He adds: “I worked in several callcenters, selling home insurance and cell phones. I clicked when I left the callcenter and went to work in a hotel as a warehouse and merchandise manager. I worked 9 or 10 hours a day and was just thinking about getting home and running, every day, for 3 months. I watched streams in the laburo, sat in the laburo compu to fill refills or stock and was watching stream. I realized that why I was going there if I was 10 hours thinking about stremear, why don’t I do that? And I threw myself in the pool. And it was full.”
“When I left the hotel laburo, I had on Twitch two thousand followers, 2500. That’s where I quit. That month I knew I had to make ends meet or go back to work. That month I made the first US$S90 and lived with that, the second month with $S130, which was nothing, like $4000, and the internet was coming out $2000. It was like that. Then I moved in and there I could start earning a little more money because I no longer depended on my old lady and I could streme around at night and stuff,” she adds. Link to Joaco
“I met Juanjo at school in 2011”, he says, “I never say ‘Joaco’, there’s no chance. At first I was a loathsome guachín. If I have to get together with that Pimpe, I tell him he’s a jertu. It was very nice that everything was the way I wanted it to be. I was very canchero, I was arguing. We went all high school together, but we started getting along better in second or third, we sat together.” We were quilombers, against everyone. We didn’t care about anything. We were going to gymnastics once, two blocks from school, and we used to stop by a kiosk to buy something to drink or eat. That day we had only to take and in an ewe stopped at the traffic light. On the other side of the corner, there was a mine with a wooden bag with empanadas, the mine starts to cross and the bag is defunded, and the empanadas fell and he looked at us, who were like saying ‘don’t grab them’. She walked and Joaco was already on the floor, blowing the empanadas. We rescued one and was eaten by Juanjo.”
And he says: “Just as you see us through the screen, that’s who we are. We are all the time being ourselves, the two kids who sit and chat on the sidewalk or with laughter going to eat. We are two kids who transmit to you that they are two kids, who are there, they are transparent, we do not make characters, we are ourselves. We start counting our day in streaming and you can’t fake that. We’re, we debate, we shit with laughter, we swell our balls, we tell funny things, I don’t know why funny things happen to us all the time, or it’s going to be the way to tell them. All the time we have a social life of friends with a camera ahead and that’s very transparent.” Ups and downs and current streamer
“My moment below was at the end of May, which I touched on the pawn bottom. I had a personal problem, quite serious and hit full bottom. It was clown syndrome, I’d turn on the camera, make 20,000 people laugh and then it turned off and it was chicken. I felt like I got lost in myself, I was very sad, I couldn’t even work, it was very hard to feel myself 100%, it was fatal, stretched, bad psychologically. I got up with my friends and my partner, my family, with them I got up from the floor, because I was lying bad.” As for the current streamer, he says: “What is happening to us… you have to be very strong, with your feet on the ground, don’t eat anything, be there, calm down. Since there are two of us, I bring him and him to me, we don’t eat the movie, but it’s difficult, complex to understand and put himself in the place of. We tried to give a piola message, teach values and keep doing our thing and do it like when I had a thousand followers. The numbers don’t have to change you.” He says: “To whom I respect the most and who I nurter the most is Coscu. Look, I don’t shake anyone’s hand. I’d bet on Kleos, put my fichín there.” He closed: “We became the mainstay of our families, I was able to tell my old lady not to go to laburar anymore and that she can take care of my quiet little brother.” Each week new episodes of Caja Negra will be published, in which different figures will submit to the questions of the journalist Julio Leiva. And you, do you encourage yourself to remember what moment you clicked into your life?
