Join us for a heartwarming conversation with Evelyne Perez, the inspiring advocate for autism awareness and author of "Autism: A New Friend." Evelyne takes us on a journey through her experiences at Eastlake High School, sharing her mission to foster understanding and support for autism. We tap into the soothing power of our podcast voice, a comforting companion on Evelyne's morning commute. With shout-outs to amazing past guests like Megan Harris and Joe Loya, we celebrate the transformative power of faith and personal growth that has become the hallmark of our podcast.

Chico's Tacos lovers unite! We dish out on the beloved El Paso staple, exploring our favorite ways to enjoy this iconic treat—from single to double orders and creative condiment combinations. Our chat takes a reflective turn, offering practical strategies to conquer the fear of public speaking, with tried-and-true tips such as breathing exercises and visualization. Gratitude emerges as a powerful ally, not just in easing anxiety but in elevating our daily lives, inspiring a positivity that resonates with everyone we meet.

Adventure awaits as we cruise through Disneyland on convenience vehicles, reveling in the freedom they bring to our park experience, along with the perks like a Lightning Pass. We reminisce about the charm of local businesses, wrapping up with a toast to El Paso's culinary gems and personal businesses like Fatboy Gloves. With laughs, stories, and a touch of magic, our episode promises to leave you with a smile, a dose of inspiration, and perhaps a craving for Chico's Tacos.

First disclosure: Please forgive me because there is a dog barking in the background. Thank you for that grace.

Nate thinks that a DJ is more than what he does. Nate considers himself a MC or Host. There is a lot of fun involved in a Karaoke show.

Nate is hosting a show at The District on Piedras at 8:30 to lunch.

This is for the folks getting off at that hour. The late night nurses, first responders and such. El Paso’s party is going to start when it’s going to start. Along with that show, Nate is busy all over the city except for Saturday. It wasn’t always like that.

We talk about our trip to Disneyland and the Karaoke experience in Los Angeles. It was not good. El Paso blows it away. LA was so impersonal. Not taken serious. We are totally spoiled as Karaoke singers here in El Paso.

There are other great shows in El Paso and there are folks that have done the work for decades. Most sing along with their shows. Sometimes Nate will go along with his friends to another Karaoke show. The Karaoke DJ hosting will feel intimidated when he walks in when his intentions are innocent. It was very cut throat in the beginning. He does however notice things that could better the bar or show. Free show coming up at The Reagan.

Nate humbles everyone at the show. They are only jabs. Bring your expectations down.

First of all, let me say, Gisselle had me dying, laughing. You’ll hear why. Time stamp 8:29

My apologies folks beforehand. I was suffering from allergies. Please excuse the coughs.

Gisselle talks about her journey being the current Miss El Paso. It’s a real job. She has a heart to make everybody’s life better in El Paso. So much more than just the prettiest girl in the room. This included short term preparation. 2 weeks to be exact. There were times she felt she was not enough. Gisselle went from knowing almost nothing about pagentry, to winning the title. I died laughing at time stamp 8:29 because of a comment Gisselle made.

Gisselle on her new journey with Special Education. You may be the only person that the special person has in their life. It takes a special heart and if you love what you do, the rewards will come. In the Future, Gisselle want to become an Entertainment Lawyer. Omar, Gisselle’s boyfriend is such a great supporter of everything that she’s about.

Gisselle’s upbringing came from humble beginnings, like a lot of El Paso. Dad was the first of his family to graduate from High School, and has done it with a strong work ethic. Gisselle says she gets her strong ambitions from seeing her father and what’s he’s been through.

Evelyne’s an author an a special education teacher.

When children would stare at other children that are different, it would

offend me. I am going to make a difference. Just watch.

With this passion, Evelyne was able to pour out her desire onto the pages. Soon enough you will see who the author is and what she’s about.

Evelyne is all about support of other authors and is now an advocate

Of getting the word out. It may start with local library tours and readings. People are being touched, both by parents and children.

The books can be found on Amazon, Barnes and Noble or anywhere else you may buy books, as well as Evelyne’s website, evelynetheauthor.com

When did Autism become a thing because I didn’t see it.

Let’s include all the children to know about what Autism is.

Evelyne has been dedicated her life since right after High School.

We speak again about how amazing our church is. I wish people would attend and realize how great our church is for our community. People will hate you because they ain’t you. We all have had a need for some guidance. Life gets busy for us. Evelyne knew that Abundant Church was a safe place. I’ve been at Abundant Church and have never left. Now Evelyne is going to start volunteering there. Now Evelyne is going to start volunteering there.

If you want to write me a message, you can do it right on the show and I’ll see it as fan mail.

The impact is important to all of us. If we can impact anyone for the better, then we have made an impact in our lives.

Autism, A New Friend, Autismo, Un Nuevo Amigo, and Trick Roar Treat are the titles of Evelyne's books.

The subjects that are covered in this book are what gives these kids

Sensory overload.

Evelyne is her own publisher. She loves the hustle, creative control.

She may be collaborating with Miguel Briones, publisher at No Culture, to get more of the author across, in her books, but by her own admission, she is an introvert. Evelyne also admits that she struggles with the Networking part of her journey. Evelyne is taking a public speaking class to come out of her shell.

What are the next goals? To keep going with the series and it’s going to start with bullying. I was bullied as a child because of my race and Evelyne would get bullied because of her Mexican accent.

Deanna is still on the book signing tour along with some book reading.

El Paso has so much beauty that we may take for granted.

Spanglish is what we speak sometime here in El Paso.

Deanna is loving the hustle of writing the follow up books for the series. Please keep an eye out for those new projects.

Typical birthday parties here in El Paso, is what may be the theme of the next book. No alcohol is going to be there at the party although it is still typical to have at a young person's birthday party.

Sometimes shots are bought for us when we sing karaoke. I try to give it away but these folks are watching me. I don't want to be disrespectful.

Deanna’s editor, Richard Ruiz, is a friend to Hollywood folks and we’re hoping he drops it off and gives a good word to the folks in Hollywood.


We sometimes don't realize what a special life that we have growing up, here in El Paso. We are the next legacy if you think about it.

Maybe we should have done what we do, when we were younger, but younger didn’t exist. El Paso is very popular for retirement along with so much beauty. So many restaurants and everybody has their favorites.

Deanna loved Capetto’s Italian restaurant as well as La Casita for Mexican food. Both are permanently closed. We both wish they still existed because they left a great stamp on our lives.

Our families are so important and we don’t like to think about the day we lose our loved ones.

Our experiences are what make us who we are today.

Our names are part of our legacy.

Don’t forget to find the links to Deanna’s book

The podcast that’s easy to listen to. Lol

Joe gifting a book to me. Brand Sharks Volume II

Joe is a contributor in this book.

investing in yourself is important. You should be your

main investor. Don’t forget your opportunity to help me with

the show.

When you’re helping people out in furthering their career, it helps

to understand that you are not forgetting where you came from.

Stay plugged in to your resources. Joe is in the process of writing his own book. There’s no perfect time to start what you’ve been called to do. Steve Harvey says Jump! Beware of the crabs in a bucket. We need to celebrate each other’s victories. God has been a huge part of both of our lives and we give Him all the glory. We are a new creation in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17). We need to be a light to anyone that comes into our path. Joe talks about his connection into real estate and was asked if she was single. Now he has his girlfriend. Yay! If you would like to be a guest on the Chuco Chuckle Podcast, slide into my Fanmail, or my DM’s.

Traveling to the Broke Beverly Hills part of town. That’s my area. The grind is real. Once you’ve put the work in, you can charge what you’re worth. We both feel horrible that teacher’s don’t get paid what they’re worth. You can be humble until you don’t have to be. I can make my own hours, but not until I created my worth. You have to be a standout. Be passionate about what you do. You can be an artisan and touch souls. We’re talking touching hearts and souls. Then, and only then, can you filter your life. That includes clients and friends. No offense. Love isn’t a feeling, it’s something you do. You have to reciprocate. If you’re struggling finding your worth, find out what your why is and double down on that. Don’t expect it to just come out of nowhere from people. When you pour your cup out, you give your soul too. When do you fill your own cup again. I jump in my jacuzzi to relax. Find something that will bring you back to where you need to be.

Deanna Salcido Gutierrez

She is a local El Paso author. Purchase info is found below.

Being local-1st question is always what high school?

We both attended traumatic private catholic schooling. Jk

Deanna is a water survival instructor(ISR) at host pools.

Transition from my lovely view of the city of El Paso to Deanna’s

Book about her upbringing here in El Paso. She had appearances on all TV stations and 93.1 FM. Great exposures as well as book signings.

Deanna shares an excerpt from her book and quotes her father, and I almost teared up. Spanish in California is almost non-existant. Me too. Spanish is my second language unlike a lot of El Pasoans where their first language is Spanish. We both got recommended to meet for this show, by Nathan Valenzuela, our favorite karaoke DJ. We sometimes have to be pushed by great friends to start our callings or ideas. Fan support is great here and all over the country. I can’t believe we’re in 4 countries too. Where can they find the book? The new Museum in El Paso, La Nube and also Instagram-@deannagutierrezsalcido link is in her bio.
