Every single time a see a video from Juixxe (aka Jesús on social) it makes me smile. With variations each time, the gist remains the same: he surprises day laborers/hard workers with an offer to go do something new and fun with him and then he generously compensates them for their time.
Often times, he will pick up day laborers who work by the hour/job and ask them if they want to go do something totally outlandish and then give them a wad of $100 bills at the end of the day. But for this video, he approaches an elotero (street corn vendor) and asks the guy if he has ever been to the county fair. He has not.
Without telling him how much he would pay him, Juixxe invites the elotero to accompany him to the county fair to the day to ride rides and have fun. The man laughs at Jesús when he asks “what if you stopped working right now and we go to the fair?” He eventually responds “that’d be nice” with the understanding, of course, that he cannot afford to just not work for a full day.
So Jesús busts out his wad of cash and peels off $500 in $100 bills for the elotero and says ‘let’s go.’ From there, they hit the county fair and have an incredible day. Here is the shortend version on TikTok with the full 7+ minute video on YouTube below:
@juixxe We took the elotero to the Fair! 🌽

Seriously, every single time I see a video from Juixxe it makes me smile. One popped up in my feed last night that’s actually a few months old and already has 2+ million views on YouTube. He approaches three day laborers on the street, waits for them to get in the car and then asks ‘do you guys know how to fly?’ and then takes them to an indoor skydiving excursion before hooking them up with $500 in cash each.
You don’t need to speak a word of Spanish (thanks to subtitles) to see how happy these guys are to have a fun day indoor skydiving:
YouTube needs more creators like Juixxe. TikTok needs more like him. So does Instagram, Facebook, and Threads. He is in it to spread joy and not chasing clout like most modern creators his age. The donations from his followers are shared directly with people he meets on the street. It is life-changing money for so many of them. Wholesome content from start to finish.
