😹
FunTranscript
00:00Wow, 94 Winnabay's Party Station. It is Babs, my guy Buckwee. And Buckwee, we never come here on a Sunday, only for special people.
00:08Only.
00:08Only for special people. And we got my guy, Mayno, in the building. What's up?
00:12What's happening? You got the perfect radio voice.
00:15Really?
00:15Yeah.
00:16Oh, thank you.
00:17That was like a perfect radio intro. You got the voice. How y'all doing? What's happening, Buck?
00:21I'm good, fam. You don't hear that often when a person like Mayno or a male is like, you got a woman have a good voice.
00:28Yeah.
00:29Because nobody's like too squeaky or...
00:30But you know, like, I guess when it comes to radio, you got to have a good voice.
00:34Right.
00:34Yeah.
00:35Right? She got it. You got it, baby.
00:38Well, you got it, baby. And you know what? We love you here in Tampa. You come... How often do you come? You come like once a year?
00:44Like once or so, yeah. Maybe more than once.
00:48We love you here in Tampa. And I got to know this. Where were you at last night watching a fight? And did you bet on the fight?
00:55Right. I should have bet on the fight. For one, because listen, I'm in the boxing, right?
01:01Right. And I was talking about the fight beforehand with my friend. He told me, he said, listen, Tank gonna take him in seven.
01:07Right.
01:07Right. And I said, man, I should take that bet, because I know he know boxing. I should take the seventh. Then I went to FanDuel and seeing what the odds was. So if you would have put like 100 on the seventh round, you would have got maybe like 1650 back.
01:22Damn. So I said, man, the odds is good on the seventh. But I was here. And y'all don't have FanDuel.
01:30No.
01:30And it goes by the location.
01:33Yeah.
01:33So I couldn't place the bet. I could have had somebody else do it from somewhere else. But I was like, man, crazy.
01:38You got discouraged. That's what it was. You were just like, ah, I forget it.
01:41Yeah, man. But I'm thinking about all the money I could have made on the seventh, because he told me, and he won.
01:50Damn.
01:50It was the seventh.
01:53Now, I've never seen nothing like that before, how he kneeled. But I have been in fights, and I do know it hurts me.
02:00Yeah, he took a knee.
02:01You can take a knee for anything, like if you get hurt, right? So if you get hit hard or whatever, or you out of breath or whatever it is, you can take a knee. And that's like 10 seconds.
02:09So you can't take a knee and then be down there for 15. That's a tech. That's a TKO.
02:15People are saying it's rigged, but I don't know.
02:18Nah, man. Man, listen. He hit him up under here. He took his win out.
02:22Right.
02:22It ain't rigged. Like, you think that boy wanted to win. That boy wanted to win bad. That's what they always say.
02:30Right. If it don't go in their favor, it's rigged.
02:31It's always rigged. It's fake. They paid him off.
02:37Shut up.
02:39I feel like that's the thing to say now on any platform.
02:43Yeah, yeah. It ain't rigged like them dudes as competitors. That dude wanted to win.
02:47I've been following him. I follow boxing, so I've been following Ryan.
02:51And I know that he really wanted to win. Look at all the stuff that he was talking.
02:54They sold that fight. It was big. It was probably one of the biggest fights this year.
02:58Yeah. And it was good. I just think that Tank's just a better boxer. It's stronger.
03:06Very much so. So, you know what? It's 2023.
03:10Yeah.
03:10Where is Maino mentally this year?
03:13I'm in a great space. Look at me, baby. I'm smiling all the time. Look at this.
03:16You work out, right? You in the gym. Okay. I can tell. I can tell.
03:19I work out. Man, I feel good. Life is good. Life is beautiful.
03:24So, what? You got any new projects?
03:25Yeah. So, last year we dropped Lobby Boys.
03:28Lobby Boys.
03:29Love gym.
03:29And now we're going to drop KOB4. That's my project by myself.
03:34Then we're just going to keep dropping some more music.
03:36And I got a lot of stuff going on. You know, I don't know if y'all been seeing me or hearing me on New York radio a lot with my girl Angela Yee.
03:43Oh, okay.
03:43Is that a permanent thing or just...
03:45Right now, I'm kind of like doing guests. I'm part of the show, but as like a guest commentator.
03:54Right, right.
03:54A guest host.
03:56Right, right.
03:56You know, so I do maybe like two or three days out the week, though.
03:59So, it's fun. I like it.
04:00It has to be.
04:01But that's why he's so good at interviews, because a lot of rappers will get in here and mumble and...
04:05We were just like...
04:06You just said that.
04:07You just said that.
04:09You'll be like, you ask them something, they don't want to talk about it.
04:12So, it's like, why are you here?
04:13Yeah.
04:14Now, have you got a chance to interview other rappers with Angela Yee?
04:18Not rappers.
04:20We interviewed...
04:22Y'all had Nick Cannon.
04:23Oh, wow. Yep.
04:24Nick Cannon.
04:25I watched that one.
04:25Nick Cannon or Larson Pippa and a couple people.
04:28So, you know, I don't look at my...
04:30Because I started a podcast, Kitchen Talk, which, you know, we started shooting that on
04:36a pandemic, and then I was able to, you know, get that going to the point where I did a deal
04:41with Fox Soul and put that on TV, right?
04:43So, I don't really look at myself as a media kind of person, right?
04:49Like, so, when I'm doing interviews or when I'm in those situations, I just like to just
04:54kick it with you.
04:55Right.
04:55You know what I mean?
04:56Like, I don't really see myself on a red carpet standing there with a microphone in my hand
05:00interviewing somebody, you know?
05:02But I...
05:03You know, but it's all part of the culture because you see a lot of artists, you know,
05:06stepping into the podcast world, doing shows and stuff like that.
05:09So, it's cool.
05:11Now, you remind me so much of...
05:15I don't know if I should say his name out here, but our friend, our mutual friend, that's
05:19from Tampa Bay, meaning like you're a no-nonsense type of person.
05:23Ham.
05:24Oh, Ham.
05:24I can say Ham, right?
05:25Yeah, I don't know if I was like...
05:26I don't know if I want to say put him out there like that.
05:28Shout out to Ham.
05:28It's his birthday.
05:29Yeah, happy birthday, Ham.
05:31So, you seem like a no-nonsense type of person, right?
05:34So, when you speak, you mean business.
05:38Really?
05:39I mean, yeah, right?
05:39I wasn't getting...
05:40I wasn't getting that.
05:41I wasn't getting that.
05:43I wasn't...
05:44I never got that from...
05:45Yeah.
05:46Well, I mean...
05:47I just wouldn't want to be around when anybody pisses you off.
05:51You feel me?
05:52Really?
05:52I wouldn't want to...
05:53So, I'm not going to lie.
05:55Like, there was a situation where you were on live arguing with a person and I got scared
06:01because I never seen you...
06:02When he pushed Old Boy, I think that was a couple months ago?
06:05Yeah, WAC 100.
06:06So, I never seen you in...
06:08You can't be saying these guys' names.
06:09Okay, I won't do that.
06:10And places that don't exist, though.
06:12Right, right.
06:12Facts.
06:12You know, we can't give them that much energy like that.
06:15There it is.
06:15Because your listeners don't know who that is.
06:17Facts, facts.
06:18But were you upset with yourself for even, like, being in that?
06:22Yeah.
06:22Honestly, you know, the internet is a wild, wild place.
06:26Right.
06:27They don't care about, you know, truth or what's right or integrity and stuff like that.
06:32And, you know, I found myself doing something that I later on felt like, man, I went for
06:40debate and show way too much emotion, way too angry.
06:44And I had to check myself because at the end of the day, what you really going to do?
06:48Right.
06:49You somewhere else and somebody somewhere else, you're not in front of each other.
06:53How angry can you possibly get?
06:55And what's so funny was because my little bro, Herbie, as soon as I did it, I called
07:01him and said, yo, come get my phones.
07:02Come take both of my phones.
07:04You understand?
07:05And, you know, and for them, for the dudes that troll and for the dudes that do that every
07:11single day, it's a game to them.
07:13It's not, they don't care.
07:15Like, they don't care about, you know, taking it to a whole nother level.
07:20They ain't in it for that.
07:21They in it to play games, make other people laugh, to disrespect other people.
07:25So it's, it's, it's a nasty world.
07:27It is.
07:28You know, the crazy part about that though, when I saw that video, like I personally know
07:33you and I tell people, like being a dude from Texas, from the country to work in this
07:38radio game, I get to meet, you know, I don't even call you a friend.
07:41I call you a fam.
07:42You know what I'm saying?
07:43And when I saw it, I'm like, that ain't him.
07:45Right.
07:45You know what I'm saying?
07:46And plus you only see 10, 15 seconds.
07:48You don't know what happened before that situation.
07:50Yeah, it was a, it was a buildup.
07:51I know it was.
07:52I know it was.
07:53It was a buildup.
07:53And then, you know, it's on the internet and people only see that 10, 15 seconds and
07:57they blow it out before.
07:58So I'm like, man, get the hell out of here with that buildup.
07:59But you know, the thing is that, you know, when you're trying to do business in other
08:06areas, you don't want that to be the, the, the, you know, your presentation.
08:11Right.
08:12So you, you're trying to, you know, do other stuff.
08:15You got other things going on.
08:16You don't want, you know, you don't want to scare the money away to the point where
08:19they, they're going to Google you or they're going to look at what you got going on on
08:22social media and that pops up.
08:24Right.
08:25You don't.
08:25So, so I had to, I had to check myself because I got other stuff going on.
08:28You understand?
08:29And at the end of the day, it ain't really worth it.
08:32Right.
08:33What are we going to do?
08:34Throw the phone?
08:35Exactly.
08:36Why do you think people are quick to throw tantrums on the socials nowadays?
08:42Viral moment.
08:42Because I know you, you keep your business very personal and then when you do put it
08:46out there, you put it out there for a reason.
08:49Right.
08:49Right.
08:50I just think that it's just a, it's just a culture that, that is, is being created that
08:55for one, we didn't hear all these people's opinions before.
08:59Now everybody, there's so much noise.
09:01Everybody has an opinion.
09:02Everybody has a, has a viewpoint.
09:04And then, you know, it's, it's, it's, it's to be on attack mode.
09:10Everybody got something to say about something.
09:12Right.
09:12Everybody.
09:13I don't like your haircut.
09:14I don't like what you, what you're dressing, the way you're dressing.
09:18I've been, I've been talked about for, for doing positive things.
09:23Right.
09:24Right.
09:24I took young boys to meet the mayor in my city.
09:28Right.
09:29Sit down and have a conversation about, about drill music.
09:35That was met with, oh man, these dudes, now you want to talk about all this drugs and
09:41guns and your music.
09:41Even now you want to sit down with the men.
09:43Like, so you, you can't really, you can't really, um, you can't really appeal to, to,
09:49to, to people in, in a sense, with sense that don't have it.
09:53Right.
09:54Right.
09:54So then you go out your way to try to prove, over-prove to fools what is right and what's
09:59wrong.
09:59And then you wind up looking like a fool yourself.
10:01Right.
10:02Do you read your comments?
10:03Um, I try not to.
10:05Right.
10:05I try not to because it's noise.
10:07Right.
10:07But this is what I tell people though.
10:11When you look at any artists or anybody, we tend to like, so you'll have like a hundred
10:17comments and it'd mostly be love.
10:20It's the two or three that's negative that we focus on.
10:24Mm-hmm.
10:24Right.
10:25And like I tell people, don't focus on the negative ones because the love going always
10:33outweigh, right?
10:34Yes.
10:35Sometimes just swipe it to the left, throw it in the garbage.
10:38Right.
10:38You know what I mean?
10:39Throw it in the garbage, swipe it to the left, you know, cause they're going to be there
10:42cause it's going to be there for no matter what it is.
10:45They might not like what I got on that day.
10:47Right.
10:48Oh man, why would you wear that, that, that, that outfit is trash.
10:51But those are going to be far and few between because the love going outweigh it.
10:56It's just that we focus more on the negative.
10:59Right.
11:00It's crazy.
11:01The internet is undefeated.
11:03Yeah, it is.
11:04Now I'm loving the fact that I'm seeing a lot of rappers on this whole health kick, like
11:08you, money bag, yo.
11:10Like, has this always been a part of your routine or is it something that you recently started
11:14doing?
11:15Well, I can't say that I'm the most healthy, right?
11:19I've, I've always worked out, you know, shout out to my guys, Fit Lit, you know, that's
11:23me, Jim Jones, Fab, Dave East.
11:25They just did a big article on us in, uh, men's health earlier this year.
11:31So, you know, we put together this, this, this fitness initiative where we, we go in
11:35there and work out together.
11:37Um, and we call it Fit Lit.
11:38We actually got an album together too.
11:41All four of us.
11:42That's coming out.
11:43Okay.
11:44When is it dropping this year?
11:45Um, possibly.
11:47Yeah.
11:48Hold on.
11:48Hold on.
11:48Hold on.
11:48You just dropped Lobby Boys last year.
11:51You got your own project coming out and now all four of y'all are doing one.
11:54Yeah.
11:55It's, it's maybe about like, what we got, maybe like about four or five more songs to
11:59do.
11:59Okay.
12:00Yeah.
12:00All four of us.
12:01Yeah.
12:02So I'm assuming maybe a nice little tour might be coming after that.
12:05That would be good.
12:05That would be really good.
12:06Selected cities.
12:07Yeah.
12:07That'd be, I mean, y'all got Dave East.
12:09I mean, just, that'd be a beast.
12:10Yeah.
12:11That's, that's dope.
12:11You got to make a stop in Tampa.
12:13I feel like a lot of tours aren't really fucking with Tampa anymore.
12:16I don't know what it is.
12:17Yeah.
12:18You feel like that?
12:19Well, Drake and 21 aren't coming here.
12:21Why not?
12:21Future didn't.
12:22They went to Orlando?
12:23So they went to Miami.
12:24They went to Miami.
12:25And Drake and 21 going to Miami.
12:27Yeah.
12:28We had Taylor Swift though.
12:29But like the rappers ain't really fucking with him.
12:32Hey, let me tell you something, bro.
12:33That chick then came to the city for three days.
12:38I, she sold out 75,000 seats.
12:41The tickets on the average, and I might be lying about this part, was $200.
12:44You know, she made $55 million just on concert tickets in this one city.
12:49God.
12:49Damn.
12:50That's not including merchandise at all.
12:52That's just the seats.
12:54Wow.
12:54Yeah.
12:55I was at the Super Bowl.
12:55The Super Bowl wasn't even sold out here, but she sold it out like three times back to
13:00back.
13:01Really?
13:01Yep.
13:02Who would you think would be the biggest artist behind Taylor Swift worldwide?
13:09I mean, Taylor Swift's not bigger than Beyonce.
13:12Yeah?
13:13Nah.
13:14No.
13:16You don't think she, all right, so Taylor Swift sold out three days.
13:19Beyonce is coming here too.
13:20Right.
13:20She only got one day.
13:22Well, see, here's the thing.
13:23Beyonce is also going to Miami.
13:26And I think Jacksonville, Taylor Swift only did Raymond James Stadium.
13:30I don't give you that.
13:32So probably, and she did three days.
13:33Yep.
13:34So it gave people enough time and from the neighboring areas to get here.
13:38Yeah.
13:39Because I worked for a radio station south and we were selling tickets.
13:42Oh, so you were just getting your radio on.
13:43Oh, yeah.
13:43Baz hustling over here, dawg.
13:44How long have you been doing radio?
13:46Since like 2012.
13:49Okay.
13:49I was an intern though.
13:50Nice.
13:51Yeah.
13:52But yeah, no, Taylor Swift came here and sold it out.
13:55I didn't go.
13:56Now, who are some people that you're listening to right now?
13:58I listen to everybody.
13:59Now, somebody that we wouldn't think that you listen to, like what is an artist in a
14:06different genre that you fucking with?
14:10Oh, man.
14:12I listen to Taylor Swift.
14:14Okay.
14:15No, it's the song that I like.
14:18Who's the artist though?
14:19You listen to country music?
14:21I do.
14:21Chris Stapleton.
14:23I like country music.
14:23Morgan Wallet.
14:24What's the song when you say, in order for me to do good, I had to leave you?
14:35What's that song?
14:37You listen to Taylor Swift too?
14:39That's not Taylor Swift.
14:40I know exactly what you're talking about.
14:42Yeah, I...
14:44Is it Kim Patrick's?
14:45Selena Gomez.
14:46Oh, Selena Gomez.
14:47Yeah.
14:48Okay.
14:48Selena Gomez.
14:49Okay.
14:50You know what song I'm talking about, right?
14:51I do, but I can't think of the name of it.
14:53And that's bad, because I work in pop down south.
14:55But you're not going to remember every song.
14:57Yeah, true.
14:58There's so much music out there.
14:59Selena Gomez.
15:00That song is so hard.
15:01That song is so hard.
15:03It's something like, in order for me to...
15:07I had to...
15:08For me, I had to hate you.
15:10Right.
15:11I think she was talking about Justin Bieber.
15:12Really?
15:14Yeah.
15:15Yeah, she was...
15:16They was dating.
15:17They dated, like, back in the day.
15:19And then, like, it was just the feud between her and his wife.
15:23Like, so she still probably got something.
15:24In order for me to love me, I had to hate you.
15:26Something like that.
15:27See, we're going to end up figuring it out after the fact.
15:28Right.
15:29That's what's going to end up happening.
15:30And then I'm going to tweet you and be like, this is what it was, dog.
15:34Now, Mayno.
15:35Mayno is looking so good.
15:37So I know the girls be in the DMs.
15:39Do you entertain girls on Instagram?
15:42Or are you, like, meeting chicks in real life?
15:44Like, not on social media.
15:45I don't think we meet people in real life no more.
15:48It's true.
15:48I think that sport is really almost non-existent.
15:53Because I feel like people so used to meeting on social media or apps,
16:00that outside just seems funny to them.
16:03When you try to talk to a girl outside, I just feel like she's not as warm as before.
16:09Like, the whole art of having a nice car and pulling up somewhere and meeting girls and all that,
16:14I feel like that's almost gone.
16:16Yeah.
16:16All right.
16:18Do you meet people outside?
16:21Don't get battle started, bro.
16:23Don't get battle started.
16:25A little bit of both.
16:26Yeah, a little bit of both.
16:27But I get what you're saying.
16:28Because, you know, usually...
16:28I feel like the game has changed.
16:33Like, I feel like, you know, I feel like people don't want to talk as much outside, right?
16:39So in New York, you know, we super aggressive in New York.
16:42Yeah, even the girls.
16:43Even the girls.
16:44So check this out.
16:45So when you're standing somewhere and, you know, girls walk by.
16:49Hey, how you doing?
16:50They don't speak.
16:51Nope.
16:51They don't speak.
16:53Maybe that's always been, right?
16:55Maybe that's old.
16:56But I just feel like it's just more now.
16:59Like, you know, you'll see a girl out and then she won't say nothing.
17:03But then you'll DM her and then she'll say more.
17:06Yeah.
17:06No, that's always it.
17:07Because I've noticed when I'm talking to girls and I meet them, it's like, hey, hey, how you doing?
17:12Right.
17:12And then if they post something on IG, I'll make a comment.
17:14Next thing you know, a conversation starts just like that.
17:17I think because I just think people feel like their personality can speak more louder on social media.
17:23They get to hide behind, you know, the social media and hide behind the filters.
17:28And they get to be more comfortable in that space as opposed to being in real life.
17:35Now, when you meet chicks, do you trust, like, at what point do you trust them enough to bring them back to the house?
17:42Because I'm going to tell you, like.
17:43That's even if you do that.
17:45I remember I met this dude.
17:46See, buddy, don't do that, though.
17:48I met this dude in Atlanta.
17:50He literally drove around the city five times before we went to his house.
17:54Because the way I talk, like, people probably think I'm the police or they think I'm a, you know, a set up girl.
17:59But I'm not.
17:59You went back to the house with him.
18:01Yeah.
18:01But this was in my younger days.
18:03I'm not like that no more.
18:04Younger as what?
18:05Last year.
18:05Younger last year.
18:06I was like 18 and shit.
18:07Really?
18:08Okay.
18:08But he just wanted to make sure I didn't rob her.
18:12You had a great night.
18:13Yeah, she did.
18:14Speak the truth.
18:17I mean.
18:20At what point do you trust the room enough to do?
18:23I feel like you're trying to get to my house.
18:25I don't live here.
18:27But he might move here, though.
18:28Oh, yeah.
18:29You should.
18:30We love you here in Tampa.
18:32Bro, you're trying to get in.
18:33I won't rob.
18:34I'm not trying to do that of that stuff.
18:35Nah, I ain't got nothing.
18:40To answer your question, everything ain't for everybody.
18:43And when it is.
18:45But that right there, about circling and going up the block, down the block, and around it.
18:51You want people to be confused.
18:53And then that's cool.
18:56And then you get them out of there fast.
18:57Or you make sure that they drunk, right?
19:01They already had a good time, right?
19:04And they probably tired.
19:07So they probably have sleep anyway.
19:09They don't know where they're at.
19:10So they not go, no.
19:11Okay, so they won't know how to get back to your house.
19:13I'm just saying, hypothetically.
19:14Hypothetically.
19:15Right.
19:16Yeah.
19:17What's some of the things that you teach your son?
19:19Man.
19:20I mean, I know he's a grown man right now.
19:23Lately, I feel like I'm teaching him wrong.
19:24Why is that?
19:30Ah, man.
19:31You know, sometimes, you know, it's not about what you say.
19:34It's about what you do.
19:35Facts.
19:35Right?
19:36So as a father, you want to give them the game.
19:39You want to tell them all the right things.
19:40But then also, they look at your behavior, too.
19:44Right?
19:44So you're looking like, man, you're saying be better than you.
19:47But look what you do.
19:49Right?
19:49So I fight those battles all the time.
19:52You know, about what's right.
19:54And, you know, what's right for me and what I want for him.
19:56Right.
19:57You know, because we all want our kids to be greater than us.
19:59We all want them to have better opportunities than us.
20:02We all want them to do, you know, better in life.
20:09You know?
20:09So we deal with that.
20:11But then at the same time, they say, but I saw footage you was in the strip club.
20:16Your son was with you.
20:16He's up to age, though.
20:19Yeah.
20:20At this point.
20:21My whole thing with that was he's at an age, right?
20:25Or when he was getting to that age where I felt like he was going to be exploring anyway.
20:29Right?
20:30And I felt like he's going to be going out with his friends and they're going to want to be doing this.
20:36I felt like I could show him how to do it better than I could.
20:40Right?
20:41Instead of making some foolish mistakes that young dudes make and putting themselves in situations or environments that I wouldn't want them to be in.
20:49So you might as well, you want to party, you want to hang out, come do it with me.
20:53Because we get paid to do it anyway.
20:55So you might as well come do it with me.
20:58Do you feel yourself living through your son?
21:00Because I know a lot of parents say they have those feelings.
21:04Living through him?
21:05Yeah.
21:05Like you get to experience things again because they're new for them.
21:10Right.
21:10Right?
21:10So you get to experience, you know, him experiencing things for the first time.
21:17You and Jim need your own reality show.
21:19Just you and Jim.
21:20Yeah.
21:21Is that something that's in the works?
21:22We talked about it, though.
21:23Okay.
21:23I wanted to do a show.
21:24I was telling him we need to do a show like a bucket list type show because, you know, I'm more adventurous than him.
21:30So I told him, like, the whole show consists of me trying to get you to do wild stuff like skydiving.
21:37He ain't doing that.
21:38Exactly.
21:38He ain't doing that.
21:39I can speak to Jim Jones right now.
21:41I ain't doing that.
21:42That's the whole debate.
21:43Oh, man.
21:45You know, is that me trying to get him to do wild stuff, you know, skydiving.
21:49And, you know, you know.
21:51Swimming with the sharks type stuff.
21:53Oh, you know what's crazy?
21:54We talked about that.
21:55Really?
21:56Do y'all talk about this when y'all in the gym?
21:57Because y'all be wilding out in the gym.
21:59Because he told me he swam with some sharks.
22:05He told me he swam with tiger sharks.
22:06I said, homie, you never swam with tiger sharks.
22:09You never swam with no tiger sharks.
22:12You swam with nice sharks, bro.
22:16You didn't, you know.
22:18So can you swim?
22:19Yeah, yeah.
22:20Me and Buckwheat cannot swim.
22:22And we need to learn.
22:23Like, this is ridiculous.
22:24How y'all don't know how to swim?
22:26Well, it's sad.
22:27Y'all live in Florida.
22:28It's sad because I'm Haitian.
22:30But, like, you know, I'm from Detroit.
22:31You should definitely know how to swim.
22:32Right, definitely.
22:34I'm from Detroit.
22:36I was in Detroit until I was 18.
22:39And then I came to Florida.
22:40So my dad came from Haiti to Miami.
22:43He went to University of Michigan.
22:44Then met my mom, who's from the east side of Detroit.
22:46And then that's how that happened and me happened.
22:48Right.
22:48And then I moved down here.
22:50So I didn't learn how to swim.
22:50You got to have pools.
22:52No.
22:52I mean, we did.
22:53There's no water in your neighborhood.
22:55We had, like, the YMCA and stuff.
22:57You could have took those lessons.
22:58I should have.
22:59Yeah.
22:59Because now I'm scared.
23:01You scared?
23:02I'm actually taking swimming lessons starting.
23:04Wow.
23:05There's an initiative starting around me because it was just like.
23:07I dive and all that.
23:08I go crazy.
23:09I jump off the boat in the ocean.
23:11I'm adventurous like that.
23:13What's the most wildest thing you've ever done?
23:16What do you think, Zane?
23:18When we went to D.R. last year and I was doing all those.
23:23So what would you say?
23:26You got to slow down.
23:30Skydiving?
23:31I want to do that.
23:32I'm surprised you haven't done it.
23:33I want to do it.
23:34I want to find somebody to do it with, though.
23:36Redman done did it 115 times.
23:38Really?
23:38Yeah.
23:39I think he's certified right now.
23:41Really?
23:41If I remember correctly, yeah.
23:42I want to do that, though.
23:43They have an indoor one that we can start.
23:45You got to start there, right?
23:47Yeah.
23:47Yeah.
23:49I did the indoor joint.
23:51It was cool.
23:51It was cool?
23:52Yeah.
23:53Does it feel like, well, you don't know?
23:54No, you don't know.
23:55Because all it does is just pretty much blow you up in the air.
23:59So it just gives you that feel of flying in the air.
24:02And how long you stay up there?
24:04You can buy different packages.
24:06So it's like different tiers.
24:08I got to do this, though.
24:11I have to.
24:12You have to make that a reality TV show.
24:15Yeah.
24:15I was going to call it Bucket List.
24:17Nah, I like that.
24:18That would be funny.
24:18It's between y'all two?
24:20Yeah.
24:21Now, what network would you put it on?
24:23Zeus is popping right now.
24:24I know people hate on them.
24:26I don't have a problem with no network.
24:28Yeah.
24:29Because Zeus is where it's at.
24:30A lot of people don't like Zeus is because the content.
24:35I see a lot of people saying, like, LeMay, I think that's his name,
24:38and them are exploiting, like, black people.
24:41Oh, with the blue face and Chris.
24:43Blue face and stuff.
24:44But, I mean, I see it as, you know, Orlando Brown,
24:47they just gave him an opportunity to make a bag.
24:49So I see it as him, if you do it right, you know.
24:52I mean, you know, we might as well make some money at it
24:54if you're going to do it anyway.
24:55Right.
24:56Facts.
24:56You out here spiraling and destructing anyway.
25:00Hopefully this show will help him.
25:01I mean, first episode dropped next week,
25:03so I'm hoping that he'll be better.
25:05That's going to be entertaining, though.
25:06Yeah.
25:08But bucket list, we looking forward to that coming out.
25:11I got it.
25:12I got it.
25:12See, here's the thing, though.
25:15It's me pitching at the gym.
25:17I got to get him to believe it because he's like,
25:19nah, I ain't with it.
25:21He don't like the idea because he don't want to do none of those things.
25:25Like, you got to think of all the wild stuff that, like, white people do
25:30that we don't do.
25:31Right, right, right, right, right.
25:32You know what I mean?
25:33Go taste, eat chocolate-covered spiders or something crazy.
25:37Like, it has to be wild.
25:39Have you ever been camping?
25:40See, that would be good.
25:42Go camping outside.
25:43Nah, I don't really like playing with Mother Nature.
25:45I'll dive off a cliff before I sleep next to where it bears and all that be.
25:52Could you survive on Naked and Afraid?
25:54So what?
25:55You know the show Naked and Afraid where they, like...
25:57Naked and Afraid?
25:58Yeah.
25:58That's a show?
25:59That's a thing?
25:59It's a show.
26:00I don't know that.
26:01Basically, you have on no clothes and they put you...
26:04There's different, like, the rainforest.
26:06Desert and the jungle, yeah.
26:07And you got to survive.
26:08I think it's 30 days, right?
26:09I think it's 30 days.
26:10Nah, I'm good on that.
26:11I'm good on that.
26:14My high is something quick and over.
26:17Right.
26:18It's like, yo, you got to jump 40 feet into the water.
26:22Okay, I'm jumping.
26:25It's over.
26:27Staying in the forest for a night, let alone 30 days.
26:31Nah, I'm cool.
26:32You hearing sounds.
26:33You got to understand.
26:35The forest don't look like how it look in the movies.
26:38No, it does not.
26:39Because in the movies, it'd be lit, right?
26:41Right.
26:42It's light.
26:42They see it.
26:43It's pitch black in the forest.
26:45You don't see nothing.
26:46It's no light.
26:47Nah, I'm cool.
26:49Yeah.
26:49You ain't fucking with it?
26:50Nah, I'm good.
26:51I'm not a...
26:52Nah, I'm good.
26:54That's why I draw the line with the adventure.
26:57They might be able to get me...
26:59Like, if we did a show like that...
27:00Right.
27:01If we had a show like that with me, you know, called Bucket List, we just doing wild stuff,
27:05they might be able to get me to sleep in a tent for a night, but it got to be people there.
27:13It got to be lights.
27:14It got to be shit going on.
27:15You can't do it with no people there, dog.
27:16You got to do it by yourself.
27:17You got cameras there?
27:18Yeah.
27:18Oh, yeah.
27:19The cameraman and stuff, and you can tap out.
27:20Cameraman got to be there.
27:21Yeah, you can tap out.
27:22Time out, man.
27:24We got to go late, late.
27:26Like, let's start at 4 in the morning and leave at fucking 7.30.
27:33Now, you're in Tampa.
27:35Now, have you eaten at any local, like, mom-and-pop places?
27:39The Rose Bar.
27:39You ate at the Rose Bar.
27:40Rose Bar.
27:41Shout out to the Rose Bar.
27:42You know, shout out to the guys there, man.
27:44I've actually been there twice.
27:45I went there this morning and was there last night.
27:47Watched the fight there.
27:48Yeah.
27:49Yeah.
27:50Any other restaurants you was really fucking with?
27:52What you went to?
27:53Um, I need to get to some more.
27:57You know what?
27:57The next time you're in town, hopefully before Hamlet's birthday, we need a couple spots.
28:01I feel like I always come here and never do all of the stuff that I want to do here.
28:05Yeah.
28:05Bro, you in here, like, Friday out by Monday morning.
28:08Right, man, because we do heavy parties.
28:10Yes, yes, yes.
28:11We got to change that.
28:12Yeah, there's a lot of hangovers.
28:17Tonight you had lit.
28:18Yeah, we had lit tonight.
28:19Are you still here tomorrow?
28:21When we leave?
28:22Tomorrow?
28:23On Tuesday.
28:24Tomorrow?
28:25Yeah, I think we leave tomorrow.
28:26Oh, because I was like, he should go to Mischief Monday.
28:29Mischief Monday.
28:29I think you're like, at Eden, because you didn't go to Eden yet, so.
28:32Eden.
28:33I keep hearing about Eden.
28:34It's right next door to Lit.
28:35Yeah.
28:36Okay, what is that?
28:37Like a club?
28:38Yeah, it's like a two-story club.
28:40Okay.
28:40They do, um, what do, what's the thing?
28:43Yeah.
28:43About top 40.
28:45Uh, Mano, real quick before you get about here.
28:46Uh, the inspiration, uh, messages that you be putting out, man, in the ride.
28:51Uh, what sparked you to start doing that?
28:53What, what sparked me to start doing that is that I need him.
28:58I need to hear that.
28:59So, like, when I'm speaking, it's because I need to remind myself.
29:02Sometimes we get up and it's like, man, another day.
29:07Man, you know, being an artist and, you know, trying to, you know, be, uh, trying to still
29:13compete or, you know, just dealing with life forces.
29:17Life is lifing, right?
29:19Right, right.
29:19It's happening every day and we getting pulled from different areas and sometimes our energy
29:25is just being pulled in so many different places.
29:28So, you got to remind yourself.
29:30So, I started doing those things to, for me.
29:33Right.
29:33It just so, it just so happens that those messages resonate with everybody.
29:38And, you know, we talk about stepping into our greatness, never forgetting who we are,
29:43like, just standing for something and just continuously pushing towards your goals and dreams.
29:49Fuck what anybody else is talking about, right?
29:53We need to hear that.
29:54We need to, especially in the morning when you, you know, wake, because that's the beginning
29:59of your day.
30:00So, your energy is very important.
30:01So, I like to, I like to, I like to put those messages out there like that.
30:05You know, I like to, I like that.
30:07I'd rather have those be my, um, you know, when people speak on me or, or see what I'm doing
30:13on social media, I, I, I'd rather it be those type of things.
30:17And shout out to you, um, because we had a conversation about my mom and now I try,
30:21I try to call her once a day.
30:24You should.
30:25Yeah.
30:25You should call your mother, you know, cause, you know, we only get one of those.
30:29Right.
30:30So, he really, cause you know, my mom had a stroke, so she can't really communicate.
30:34So, we kind of like fell off, like talking a lot, but after I talked to you, and I'm
30:38about to cry again.
30:39I always try to, I cry when I talk to my mom, but thank you for that.
30:42Cause that made me like, see the importance of calling her every day.
30:44You should.
30:45And, and, and, and because she appreciates it, you know, and it's, we only get a certain
30:52amount of time with the people that we love, you know, it's all right.
30:58Uh, real quick.
30:59You're like a therapist too.
31:00You need to add that to your bucket list.
31:02Yep.
31:02You're a treat.
31:02I told him earlier, bro.
31:04I be watching the videos.
31:05No, but keep doing those, man.
31:10Cause like I said, it helps me when I watch y'all.
31:12I'm like, you know, being this coming from you, I'm like, you know what?
31:15He's right.
31:15Let me get my ass out.
31:16Let me go outside and walk a little bit, do a little job.
31:19Like just get the day going, man.
31:21Right.
31:21We blessed, man.
31:22Nah, we are blessed.
31:22We always got to remember that we ain't, we ain't all the way where we want to be.
31:27Right.
31:28But where we at now, we prayed to just be there.
31:30Yeah.
31:31At some point, you know, God, please.
31:34I just, I just want, I just want my first apartment.
31:37I just, I just want my first car.
31:38I just want my first house.
31:39Like you wanted some of the things that you have today and it was a time when you didn't
31:44have them.
31:45You wanted to be in a space that you at right now.
31:48So we blessed you on the radio, baby.
31:49You can hear your voice.
31:50I just showed Maino, so CDs are themed to a certain degree.
31:55We do this thing called Way Back Wednesdays.
31:56So Maino, if tomorrow, tomorrow comes and then day after tomorrow.
32:00I'm telling you guys right now, go check out if tomorrow comes.
32:04Yeah, that's my baby.
32:05That right there, bro.
32:06I had, I wouldn't listen to that for like the last couple days.
32:08So I'm just like, that's a ride.
32:09They say your first album, you spent your whole life making that.
32:13Cause that's my whole story.
32:14That's my whole life.
32:15That was like my whole, that's my story.
32:18And I did it like how we did it, like it was a movie.
32:21Actually, if you listen to both of those back to back, they like part one and part two.
32:25I kind of like, you know, try to make two conceptual albums back to back.
32:30You know, you know, if tomorrow comes, it's like, damn, I ain't, I was in a place in my
32:33life where I ain't know if tomorrow was going to come.
32:36Then it came.
32:37Right.
32:37And then the day after tomorrow, I was like, man, I finally got here.
32:40Now what?
32:41That's why you said it.
32:42After I said it out loud, you can definitely say it's a part one and part two, just off
32:45the title itself.
32:46Well, listen, bro, we appreciate you stopping by, hanging out with me and Babs and getting
32:51ready for the new projects that's coming out.
32:53Hey, that's right.
32:55And you know what I'm saying?
32:56When y'all get ready, you and Davies and Fabas and Jim Jones, make sure y'all make that
33:00tour come through Tampa.
33:01Definitely.
33:02Yes.
33:02Facts.
33:03We want y'all here.
33:04We need y'all here.
33:05I get a lot of love here, man.
33:06I love it here.
33:07Also, we want to be a part of the Bucket List show when it comes out.
33:12You like that idea, though, right?
33:13I do.
33:14I like it.
33:15Yeah, we got to watch out.
33:16Somebody wants y'all to steal our idea.
33:18Word.
33:19As long as y'all get paid, bro.
33:20That's all that matters.
33:21Cut the check.
33:22Thanks for coming by, Tampa Mano.
33:24All right.
33:25Babs and Buck, we were out, 94.1.
33:27All right.
