But tell us a little bit about you, your, your, your background.

[05:58] Speaker 4: Absolutely. Mario's amazing.

[06:00] Speaker 3: Amazing.

[06:00] Speaker 4: You all, you all are in for a treat today. So, um, us coming back with our new show, with, with the show starting back again, um, we, we came out with the best. So, Mario, please-

[06:12] Speaker 3: Lots of years you guys

[06:13] Speaker 5: Thank you.

[06:13] Speaker 4: ... have all the information about yourself.

[06:15] Speaker 5: I mean, that's so fan- that's fantastic that, just to get the recognition and also to be, uh, a part of your show. Uh, you guys are great, awesome people. Um, and I love to cater to good people all around, um, the globe, not just, uh, not just nationwide. Uh, I'm, I'm an artist. Uh, I've been doing music for, ever since I known myself, so I would say since childhood. And, uh, I was, uh, I was in the choir in school. I was a solo, uh, I was a soloist and, um, I've been doing music for so long. And, um, I decided when I came to United States to do my own music because I knew that the talent had to come with something, right? So I wanted to use my talents and, uh, in order to write my own music and, uh, you know, get my own thing going. And, uh, I just, I just did it and this, thank God, you know, this is, um, I just released my second album in last July.

[07:12] Speaker 3: What's your album, what's your album called, Mario?

[07:14] Speaker 5: So my first album is called The Expo. The second album is called Rise.

[07:19] Speaker 3: Rise. Okay. Okay. A- and just let people know a little bit about your music. What, what type of music? Uh, man, listen, uh, after coming off the Super Bowl with everybody kicking about, um, uh, um, (laughs) Bad Bunny, so everybody kicking about, about, you know-

[07:35] Speaker 4: This is an amazing show, by the way.

[07:37] Speaker 3: Yeah, the new gender of music out there and which he's been around a long time, so. But hey, that's what we're doing and look, we're global, so we brought a global artist on. I would not be bringing anyone on my show. Y'all know me. This, this man has, uh, the global catch. He's the global person. How did, how did you get into music, Mario? How did, did... I heard you say the choir. Did they, did they say, uh, like the old Tina Turner thing, you were singing too loud in the choir and, and they put you out or how, how did you get into the love, uh, of singing and, and the music?

[08:09] Speaker 5: So in the beginning, uh, I was discovered when I was like a really... May- I think I was in the second grade.

[08:15] Speaker 3: All right.

[08:15] Speaker 5: And, uh, you know, my teachers were looking to, like, do a kind of a small show for the kids and stuff like that and they wanted people to perform and, you know. And so I was like, "All right, I'm, I, I would love to perform," and I would try out 'cause I love music even since, even since then. So, uh, I tried out and it turned out to be like one of... They, they chose me to sing the song. It was like a specific song about mothers. It was for Mother's Day. And, um, they picked me to be the soloist in, in the whole group and everybody else was in the background, like the background singers.

[08:50] Speaker 3: So it is a Tina Turner thing. I don't know if anybody remember the Tina Turner when they put her out the choir for singing too loud and, and, and, and-

[08:55] Speaker 5: I definitely remember that scene. (laughs)

[08:56] Speaker 3: ... too much. Yeah, so, so it was like a Tina Turner, uh, thing with you, huh, Mario?

[09:00] Speaker 5: Yeah.

[09:01] Speaker 3: And, and how long have you been in the, the, the music, uh, business now? Um, which is, is, is a hard business by itself. I, I, I transitioned out of it, so I know it is. Um, how, how, um, how, how long have you been in, in, in the music business?

[09:16] Speaker 5: Uh, as far as like, so, uh, my, I have bunch of transitions even in my, in the, in the music business that I have, I've, I've done so far. So every time there's always new things coming on, right? So when I was a child I would always, like, sing for other people's music, right? And do shows and perform, like, for hundreds and hundreds of people, right? Either for the school, uh, or concerts, small concerts for the town that I was in, I was raised in. And, um, uh, after like that I came to, uh, I came here in the United States at 18 years old. So I, I, I actually sing in, in a, in, in a, uh, three languages.

[09:54] Speaker 5: So I sing in-

[09:56] Speaker 3: Wow.

[09:56] Speaker 5: I sing in Arabic and I sing in French and I also sing in English.

[10:01] Speaker 4: His talent.

[10:02] Speaker 5: So I, I love music from all around the world, right? You can get inspired by all kinds of music. It doesn't have to be something... And this is one thing that I wanted to say. So the, for the people that are, you know, bashing Bad Bunny for his show, I don't think we should bash anything because, you know, an art is an art, right? If you're a, if... I'm a pop singer, R&B singer, and I sing in multiple languages, right? So, and I believe in talent. So if you're talented and, and you, you actually make it out there, we shouldn't bash any, any other languages, right? Because we're, at the, at the end of the day, we're all human beings and we're, if we're talented, we need to recognize talent no matter where it came from. And this is the base, uh, I think this is the, what the music is, is the love of music. You don't have to be from, from, you know, from one nation to, to love other arts of music, right?

[10:58] Speaker 4: Um, I wanna ask you a question, Mario. I know, um, you mentioned before, uh, you, uh, uh, performed and then they had you be the solo, uh, singer and you had a choir behind, behind you. Is that the moment when you were like, "I think I got it," or was it before? What, what was the moment where you're just like, "I think this is-"

[11:17] Speaker 5: Actually, my-

[11:18] Speaker 4: ... something?"

[11:18] Speaker 5: I would say my first time, my first time doing it, I was like not so shocked, but I was scared. You're, you know, because I was, I was a kid, I'm in front of like maybe 150 other kids. Some of them are older than me, some of them younger than me and, you know, a bunch of... Your teachers, you, you remember when you were in school, your teachers-

[11:37] Speaker 4: Oh, absolutely.

[11:38] Speaker 5: Like, you know, you're, you're scared of all your teachers, right? So it's like, I wanna make sure that I don't mess that up. But I think that was like my, my time where I find, I found out the, the fear concept just ca- kind of went out the window after that, right? Because I started doing this on a regular basis and the school was picking me as the soloist on every single concert we had.

[12:01] Speaker 4: So you started getting used to it.

[12:03] Speaker 5: So I kinda got used to it. So the more people that would come in, I would just be even happy, you know. I would be more comfortable. So now I can just be in front of everybody. So this is my thing about, about fear. If you are fearing something, you should definitely take the risk and do it, 'cause once you do it once, the second time it will be so much easier and the third time. And then by the time you do it 100 or 1,000 times, you're on stage, it's gonna become like a second nature and you would love it even more. You would wanna give the people what they wanna hear, right?

[12:33] Speaker 3: S- so Mario, what, what platforms can the people who find your music on, um, go to your music? 'Cause I, uh, listen, we're on a global stage here, so I'm sure, um, you being a, a, a global artist, they will be wanting to come and find, uh, your music. Uh, download it.

[12:51] Speaker 5: Absolutely.

[12:51] Speaker 3: Uh, where, where, where, where can they find your music at? Uh, where can they get your music?

[12:56] Speaker 5: Oh, I'm, I'm actually, I'm on all streaming platforms. Uh, I'm on all streaming platforms. You can look me up by real name, by the way. My, my real name is Mario Haddad and I go by that because I wanted to be authentic. I didn't... You know, I could've had... I had some nicknames. You know, there were, there's a lot of, a lot of nicknames. Everybody has nicknames, right? But I wanted to kinda keep it authentic. Uh, as a matter of fact, like, most of my, uh, fan base is actually, uh, from the Middle East, you know. And, um, and not just the Middle East. Some, some, some in Europe. Some in Africa. Um, you know, we have... I have Turkey, Jordan, uh, Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, you know. And shout out to all the Middle East, you know. All, there's... I know there's some people right now, uh, listening to us from the Middle East and, and I wanna thank them for joining us.

[13:45] Speaker 5: And, um-

[13:46] Speaker 3: Yes. Well, I think- We absolutely thank Yeah, well said

[13:48] Speaker 4: ... everybody for listening in. I want to ask you, Mario, your album, uh, the latest album that you just... that you have out now, uh, is it sung in different languages? Is it sung in just one language? Do you have-

[13:58] Speaker 5: So I actually have, uh-

[14:00] Speaker 4: ... songs?

[14:00] Speaker 5: My s- my new style is, is, is the fusion.

[14:03] Speaker 4: Mm-hmm.

[14:03] Speaker 5: Uh, what I mean by fusion is, is mixing two languages in the same song.

[14:07] Speaker 4: Okay.

[14:07] Speaker 3: Wow, that's very, that's very unique. Yeah, that's very nice.

[14:10] Speaker 5: And I felt like this would be to come bring something new, right, to the music industry, because I feel like everything is the same, the same, the same. But we wanna-

[14:19] Speaker 4: Yes.

[14:19] Speaker 5: ... do something new and we wanna relate to everybody in the world, right? So... And that's one thing that I, I thought maybe Bad Bunny could do. Maybe he could also do... uh, try to get into the fusion and, like, doing half, half English and, and half, you know, Spanish, uh, which I think would, would help. But in my genre and what I do, I wanted to do the fusion, which is a mix, mix of Arabic music and English.

[14:44] Speaker 5: So it would-

[14:44] Speaker 4: Oh, awesome. So this latest album is a mixture of Arabic and, and English. Do you have any songs where you're speaking French?

[14:51] Speaker 5: I did not yet.

[14:53] Speaker 3: (laughs)

[14:53] Speaker 5: I will do... I will definitely do it on the second. Uh, on the th- on the third album.

[14:57] Speaker 4: Oh, okay.

[14:57] Speaker 3: So Mario, I wanna ask you this question. Um, so you know Valentine Day is, is right around the corner, right?

[15:02] Speaker 5: Yeah.

[15:02] Speaker 3: So, so for all the, the, the lovers out there, uh, i- do Mario have some, some music for the couples?

[15:11] Speaker 5: I have the perfect song for Valentine-

[15:14] Speaker 4: Oh, wow.

[15:15] Speaker 5: Right?

[15:15] Speaker 3: So-

[15:15] Speaker 5: I have the perfect song for Valentine's and I actually dropped it on the last album, and it's actually a fusion song.

[15:23] Speaker 3: Okay.

[15:23] Speaker 5: And it's called Habe- Habibti. Habibti in Arabic means my love.

[15:27] Speaker 4: Oh, that's beautiful.

[15:29] Speaker 5: Right? So it's, it's half English, half, half Arabic. And-

[15:33] Speaker 3: Okay.

[15:34] Speaker 5: ... it's, it's definitely for Valentine's. I mean, this is, like, the perfect song for Valentine's and I definitely recommend everybody to listen to it. It's called Habibti.

[15:42] Speaker 3: Ha- Hab- Habib- and, and, and what track is that on there in case, uh, we, we get lost on there? Is that, is that... What song rotation is that? One, two, three, four, five, six?

[15:51] Speaker 4: What song on, on the album?

[15:52] Speaker 5: Oh, on the album? I'm not sure which one it is but, I mean, you can look it up.

[15:55] Speaker 3: But it's Habib- Spell, spell that, spell that for our aud- our au- audience.

[15:58] Speaker 4: I was gonna say the same thing. Can you spell it for our audience?

[16:01] Speaker 5: Yes, absolutely. I, I definitely recommend everybody to listen to it just because... I mean, this is the perfect Valentine's song, the perfect love song and I made it specifically for people... uh, for lovers. So, um, so Habibti means my love, like I said, and the way you spell it is H-A-B-E-B-T-I.

[16:26] Speaker 3: Okay. Okay, great. So y'all know that. So all you, all you men in the doghouse, uh, you just got a, a great situation. So go get your candy and your flowers and, and, and come with the song, uh, My Love, man. That oughta put you somewhere.

[16:40] Speaker 4: Exactly.

[16:40] Speaker 3: So listen-

[16:40] Speaker 4: And in addition to that, in addition to that, you have you being serenaded in two different languages.

[16:45] Speaker 3: Yeah.

[16:45] Speaker 5: Yes.

[16:46] Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, so... Which is very awesome and unique. So listen, I'm o- I'm not gonna put you on the spot, but I, I can say this, um, um, Mario and I have been, uh, talking and we're putting something together. So listen, we're going, we're going, we're gonna bring a tour, uh, together. We're going, we're gonna bring you guys out there all over, uh, to, to touch him and hear this great music. Um, wonderful guy. I cannot say enough about him. Um, you guys know, like I said, I wouldn't have him on the show if he wasn't, but he also fits what our show is about and the intel about our show, which is family, people coming together as one. Um, too many times, we hear and see things said, uh, trying to divide us, but we're all one, because at the end of the day, we all bleed. We all bleed. I have never met anyone say, "Hey, I, I got water in me." Um, so no. We all bleed, so we're all one, and I think that's what this country needs. We need one. And, and when you stand behind us...

[17:43] Speaker 3: And let me say this again. When you stand behind us and you see the show, when you see the... when we, we start coming out in 2026, 'cause we got a lot coming on and we will be going out. When you see Talking with Ron, um, from my guest to myself, that's what we stand for. We stand for people united. One. It does not matter who you are, because we're all at a point to being one of two things. Uh, on a down slope or a up slope. So it's about being one, helping people. Um, not dragging, not talking about people. Helping people. And this is what this, uh, great... It's still a great country, but this is what this great country has fell in- failed down for. Not wanting people to be united and as one and everybody knows, uh, what's going on. I'm-I'm not... I don't do political stands. I don't do religious stands. But we all know what's going on in this country, um, and, and we see what's going on. But we have to stand as one.

[18:35] Speaker 3: And so, when you see this-

[18:36] Speaker 4: Can I say... Oh, sorry. Go ahead.

[18:38] Speaker 3: When you see this show, Talking with Ron on, uh, that's what this show is about. That's what this platform is about. That's what it was started on. And it will run as long as we are on here and anywhere, that's what we will stand for and run. Great people with great things, living life. That's what it's all about. Um, I'm sorry. Go ahead, Yara. What did you have to say?

[18:58] Speaker 4: No. I mean, you took the words right out of my mouth. I was gonna say that, you know, that's w- who we stand for. Talking with Ron show, we're all about w- we're one, we're a family, um, we come in all different shapes, sizes, cultures, races, everything. But together, we're all one. So, when we have our family, uh, uh, uh, event, um, that, eh, we, we can't wait to see all our lovely faces, it won't... It will be all different types of races and cultures, and it's-

[19:26] Speaker 3: Everywhere.

[19:27] Speaker 4: ... everywhere.

[19:27] Speaker 3: Everywhere.

[19:27] Speaker 4: Same. That's what we stand for. So, what we stand for is unity, right? We're a family. Um, it doesn't matter, uh, the color of your skin. We're still family. So, we can't wait to see everybody during that family time. But no, absolutely, this music, uh, Mario's music, it's all about love. You all, please, please download, uh, his album. It's on all platforms. And especially, it's the Lovers' Weekend, so you all most definitely have to listen to the Love Song, especially.

[19:57] Speaker 3: And we, we gonna put that on, on, on the Talking 1's... Ron's site. We gonna put that up there. We gonna put that... We gonna put Mario whole stuff up there. But we definitely wanna put, uh, February the 14th, Love is... Say so, fellas, once again, if you're in trouble, ladies too, whatever the case may be, uh, I think that's a great stepping stone. But, um, we will be bringing Mario out. We will be coming out. We're gonna be arranging some things. But listen, wherever y'all see him, like Yara said, support him. Uh, he's a great guy, um, all about family, community, uh, and that's what we like. And, and like I said, him and I will be, um, partnering up in some things. And, and we gonna bring, we gonna bring him to you. 'Cause he's, he's different. He has a unique sound. Um, and, and then, hey, what's not to love about... Hey, what's not to love about, um, someone wanting to spread the gift of joy in music, right?

[20:45] Speaker 3: Music makes us feel good, whether we're feeling bad or we're feeling down. Music is a feelgood thing. It's been that for centuries on top of centuries. Um, so that's, that's what we want, um, decades on top of decades with the music. So, I've been in the music business a long time myself. So, I know what music does, and I've seen it. And, and this, this, this young man here, um, and I call him young, (laughs) this young man here is coming with something you've never seen before, I promise you guys. Uh, it, it's, it's, it's untapped, it's unseen. You're gonna enjoy it. Listen, it, it will blow you away. So, um, we gonna... We gonna have him in a future date. And maybe we'll have him at the Family Day perform. You never know.

[21:25] Speaker 3: Uh, so, we, we will-

[21:27] Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.

[21:28] Speaker 3: ... get... Yeah. We will, we will get... We'll put him in a lineup. But we will get, um... We, we gonna have him on. And Mario, uh, once again, tell the people your, your... How would they get in touch with you, um, your social sites, um, just, just where, where they can reach you.

[21:42] Speaker 5: So, I'm actually on Instagram, on Facebook, on, uh, and then I have my YouTube channel as well. So, if they look up, uh, on Instagram, Mario Haddad Music, and then-

[21:52] Speaker 3: Could you spell it for them, Mario, so they'll, they'll know?

[21:54] Speaker 5: Yes. M-A-R-I-O, Haddad, H-A-D-D-A-D, Music. And that's on Instagram. And then you can also look me up on YouTube, on Mario Haddad. Um, and I'm on all, all music platforms, so they can... They can do the streaming on Spotify, iTunes, all the good stuff. So, I'm on all streaming platforms. Um, and you know, I love... I love feedback of people, listeners, you know, people that, you know, are fans and everything. I always listen to feedback and, and try to bring them something that they wanna hear next. So, that's always in, in my vision of sight. So, I always get re-... I always appreciate recommendations from people. And, um, you know, I strive to do whatever, um, whatever is best. And, uh, I feel like the vision is coming all altogether, just because every time I make a new song, it's always about something different. And like, you know, it's... It's always about a story that we... Uh, tha- uh, like, or an experience, and p- that people can relate to.

[22:55] Speaker 5: I think all pe- all walks of Earth, you know, everybody has a struggle that had to come, come to light and, you know, maybe overcome the struggle someway or somehow. And this is how... what music... how music can bring us all together, you know? Because the love of music, you can... you can... you can easily express how you feel and relate to other people's feelings, right? So, you... Some people might be going through some hard times, and they need a song that they can listen to and they can be like, "Oh, gosh, I needed that song, because now..." G-... This, this gives me the next push, right?

[23:27] Speaker 5: And this is why I-

[23:27] Speaker 3: Some of them are going through a hard time, Mario, uh, for Valentine's Day. They all... Some of them are going through, through, uh, hard times. So, you might be saving a lot of, uh, uh-

[23:35] Speaker 4: Saving a lot of relationships.

[23:37] Speaker 3: ... me-... Yeah, yeah. So, you might be-

[23:38] Speaker 5: I love that.

[23:39] Speaker 3: (laughs)

[23:39] Speaker 5: You know, I, I think... I think, you know, and every single relationship in this world, and I will tell it... tell it to you guys right here, right now, and to everybody that's listening. Um, every relationship, you're gonna have ups and downs. And it is a normal thing, you know? If you are going through it with your partner, I think this could all be worked out, you know? It's just a little bit of talking, take it easy, and there's no issues, right? Because everything is... goes up and down. There's no per-... no such thing as a perfect relationship.

[24:10] Speaker 5: So, just play that song for her, you know, or him-

[24:13] Speaker 3: (laughs)

[24:13] Speaker 5: ... you know, just play that song-

[24:14] Speaker 3: That's right.

[24:15] Speaker 5: ... you know, he's-

[24:15] Speaker 3: Play that song. That's right. Play that song. Listen-

[24:17] Speaker 5: Play that song.

[24:18] Speaker 4: Play the song.

[24:19] Speaker 5: Get it on-

[24:19] Speaker 4: It is, uh-

[24:19] Speaker 5: Get a nice feel.

[24:19] Speaker 3: He's singing in two different languages, everybody. Hey-

[24:22] Speaker 5: Exactly.

[24:22] Speaker 4: You know-

[24:22] Speaker 3: ... if this song doesn't get you, I don't know what will.

[24:25] Speaker 5: Exactly.

[24:25] Speaker 3: And listen, we, we are going to... if you guys wanna see, um, Mario at, at... and if you have the app BBS downloaded, um, iHeart... Listen, there's a number on there. We want you to call in if you wanna see him. If you wanna, wanna get him to your city, your town, call in.

[24:41] Speaker 5: Mm-hmm.

[24:41] Speaker 3: Uh, let us know. Um, we, we, we will make that happen. Like, this is... this is something. I know it's festival time coming up. Um, you guys call in, request it. Uh, let me... let me give you a number, and you can call in and request it, uh, 305-713-5109. Once again, that's 305-713-5109. We will get him to your town, your city. Uh, if you really, really, really, um, wanna be fancy with it, hey, he may even do your wedding. If the price is right, he might even do your wedding. Uh, so listen, um, book him. Wanna see him come... because he's coming anyway. Um, but if you wanna see him, um, sooner, hey, call in, call that number. Uh, we'll get you... we'll get you hooked up. We'll get you put on, and we'll get him, uh, to your town or your city. I'm telling, this is music. Y'all go to it. Go to all... all those platforms. Um, all... wherever you stream your music, all where he's sitting there, the music is sitting there, um, go listen to it. It's a different vibe.

[25:45] Speaker 3: It's a different set of music. It's positive, but you can enjoy, um... you can enjoy it a period. And like I said, he even got it where he can get you out the doghouse, fellas, or, or ladies, whatever, whatever the case may be. So, uh, Mario, um, listen, he's still a great businessman. Uh, he's still a great businessman. Tell 'em... tell 'em your other two businesses, uh, right quick. Um, tell 'em your other two businesses, uh, that you... that you have, and how you can, uh, be reached on those right quick.

[26:11] Speaker 5: Yeah.

[26:12] Speaker 3: Shame- shameless plug here.

[26:13] Speaker 5: So I'm... I, I actually, uh, you know, being an independent artist, you have to have other streams of income, right, to be able to support it. And that's another thing that, you know, I have... I had to understand that at a young age, that, you know, if you wanna be independent and you wanna do music, if you're not signed and you wanna chase your talent, you have to get some kind of stream of income, right? So, you know, I started, uh, um, I started multiple businesses. Um, and right now, um, I have... I own, uh, Auto Glass General. It's a auto glass repair and replacement company, and I've owned that for 11 years.

[26:50] Speaker 5: And-

[26:51] Speaker 3: Oh, wait, I don't mean to cut you off, Mario. Listen, so if, if y'all... we don't condone violence, so if y'all throw somebody through the window, uh, for Valentine's Day 'cause you don't get what you want, hey, call Mario.

[27:01] Speaker 5: Yeah.

[27:01] Speaker 3: Listen, ca- ca- call Mario. He got you covered. But wait, we're not through yet.

[27:05] Speaker 4: We absolutely have you covered.

[27:06] Speaker 3: (laughs)

[27:06] Speaker 4: Do you do mobile?

[27:07] Speaker 5: Well, we're not even... we're not even-

[27:08] Speaker 4: Do you come to their homes, Mario, or do they come to your, uh, location?

[27:11] Speaker 5: We actually have a mobile service, and it doesn't cost-

[27:14] Speaker 4: Awesome.

[27:14] Speaker 5: ... any additional cost, which is something that we wanted to do for all our clients, because we figured out that the clients that are getting these kind of problems... You know, you have to understand, in the society that we live in, everybody has, has a job and everybody's working, and some... and most people are working a 9:00 to 5:00. So, you know, it's kinda hard for them to leave work to go get their windshield, you know?

[27:38] Speaker 4: It absolutely is, Mario. I... I was riding, and if you're around, depending on the roads, for us, uh, where we're located, the, the roads are bad and... as well as trucks dropping things off of your car, right? So you don't have to... maybe you might be out with your loved one for Valentine's Day. It may be not as wild as what Ron mentioned, but maybe you're driving, you know, riding, listening to love songs, and here we go, a rock falls off the back of a truck and then cracks your window.

[28:07] Speaker 3: Happens from time to time.

[28:08] Speaker 5: Exactly.

[28:08] Speaker 4: It happens.

[28:08] Speaker 5: And, you know, we, we... in Texas here, especially in Texas-

[28:12] Speaker 4: Mm-hmm.

[28:12] Speaker 5: ... construction is never stop, right?

[28:14] Speaker 4: It doesn't.

[28:14] Speaker 5: I mean-

[28:14] Speaker 4: And if you have that issue, go ahead and go to Mario. Mario, can you, uh, give us the name of the company again?

[28:20] Speaker 5: Yes. It's, uh, Auto Glass General, and we're located in Dallas, Texas. And, uh, we do mobile service for all the Dallas-Fort Worth area, all the metroplex, the entire-

[28:30] Speaker 4: And that's a large area to cover.

[28:32] Speaker 5: Absolutely. And we have a lot-

[28:34] Speaker 3: Big.

[28:34] Speaker 5: ... of competitions, so we s- we send... we schedule the technicians to go in and take care of all the... all the work that we need to do.

[28:40] Speaker 3: See? Great, great. See? So still running. We'll get you covered anyway, but main... back to the music, I, uh... we gotta get... y'all gotta go get this, um, go and... gotta go get this. We want you to request it. We wanna see Mario perform, um, any festival, anything you got going on, listen, he's fully ready. Uh, he has been performing, so he's not an artist where, where we're... we're plugging to say come on. Listen, he's already established. Um, we're just bringing him further to the light, because we want you to hear what we know and w- what we seen and others have seen, uh, an artist that's different. And I know that's what the music business entails and love, an artist that's different, and he has that. Listen, Mario, man, I can't thank you... This guy, I tell you, we, we had some great conversations. I feel like he's my brother from another mother. But, uh, listen, Mario, um, your last thing you wanna tell anybody. Uh, we appreciate you coming on the show, taking out your time.

[29:32] Speaker 3: Um, what-

[29:33] Speaker 5: Mm-hmm.

[37:46] Speaker 3: Exactly. That's right. And, and, and, and speaking of which, um, um, I wanted to, to say, uh, what, what did you think about that, uh,, um, Super Bowl show that everybody's been raving and talking about? What, what, what did you-

[37:59] Speaker 4: You know-

[37:59] Speaker 3: What, what's your, what's your, what's, what's, what's the, the, the, the thought on that?

[38:04] Speaker 4: I absolutely enjoyed the show. You know, I, I thought it was like a pl- almost as though like a play or mini- a miniseries, you know? Um-

[38:12] Speaker 3: Well, hell, you need a translator. You couldn't understand. You couldn't understand.

[38:15] Speaker 4: No, you couldn't understand.

[38:16] Speaker 3: If I couldn't understand it...

[38:17] Speaker 4: You couldn't understand. But just watching the... Now, I would have preferred if we would have had English captions, so we could have understood all the points that he was making. But just looking at the, uh, how, um, just how it was laid out, the, the, uh, it was almost like a little mini s- a little miniseries, you know? And you, you got the concept of being in like a bodega and being in the, uh, places of Puerto Rico and seeing the, the elderly, um, men who were playing cards and the, you know, the different people. Um, and then I didn't realize, I didn't catch a lot of the other messages that he was trying to, to bring. But I really enjoyed the show and the people in the grass. Oh my goodness. Th- I think that was the most hilarious piece because all those pieces, the all, all of the grass that was on the field were people actually in them. So I thought that was pretty interesting, but I thought the show was fun.

[39:07] Speaker 4: Um-

[39:07] Speaker 3: Yeah.

[39:08] Speaker 4: ... I thought it was interesting. Uh, I would have preferred just some English captions, just so that way I can know what he was saying, um, with all of his messages that he was trying to deliver. But I enjoyed it through and through. What about you, Ron?

[39:20] Speaker 3: Yeah, no, uh, uh, I, I think it was a great show. Me, I was, I was... I'm, I'm not the, like, most people for the commercials and, and the halftime. I'm for the game. And let me say congratulations to the, the Seahawks, uh, Seattle Seahawks. Well, well done game. Well played game, man. I can't say enough about, about, about those guys and, and, and the good job, um, they did.

[39:41] Speaker 4: I think I have to, uh, research. I should have before we came on today, but to see how many, uh, teams have won the Super Bowl by just, you know, kicking field goals. But they won this one.

[39:53] Speaker 3: (laughs) Yeah.

[39:54] Speaker 4: (laughs)

[39:54] Speaker 3: That's all that mattered. Yeah. That's all that-

[39:55] Speaker 4: They won.

[39:55] Speaker 3: That's all that mattered that they won. That's right.

[39:58] Speaker 4: Mm-hmm.

[39:58] Speaker 3: That's all, that's all that mattered that they won. And, and, and speaking of another winning thing, um, listen, you guys, we are excited about seeing you guys, um, on the Family Day. Uh, uh, just a little added version to this. Um, we will have that Saturday, um, so you can put the kids to bed after you come from the beach and the activities we w- we will have planned. Put the kids to bed, feed them, and then that Saturday night we will have the, uh, banquet, the ball, um... Excuse me, not banquet, the ball for the adults. Um, so come, get ready to enjoy yourself, um, and, and, and have a great time. Remember, the whole weekend is, is family weekend with talking with Ron, uh, and, and, and Yaara, and family. And that, and that's what we wanna do. So we want you guys to have a, a, a great time. Now, listen, y'all please lay off of Keisha. She is one person mandating all this stuff. Uh, um, it... She only can get what we give her, and Jennifer's still working the logistics out.

[41:01] Speaker 3: Uh, we're trying to get the official hotel for it. So I just wanted to say that. I know you guys have been, been rapping and, and raving along with, um, where have we been. But listen, we're back and, and, and we love you guys. We appreciate it. Uh, but yeah, so let, let's, we'll... Let us get everything together and then, and once we get everything fully together, um, and hopefully, I think they said they were gonna work on some actual package deals, Yaara, which would be great, right?

[41:27] Speaker 4: That would be-

[41:28] Speaker 3: On a budget.

[41:28] Speaker 4: That would be great.

[41:29] Speaker 3: Yeah. We don't wanna leave nobody out. So on a budget.

[41:31] Speaker 4: No.

[41:31] Speaker 3: Um, we'll, we'll... They're gonna be working on some package deals. We're gonna have entertainment. So, um, you know, we, we definitely wanna do that a- and it's gonna be great.

[41:39] Speaker 4: Mm-hmm.

[41:40] Speaker 3: Um, we're looking forward, looking forward to it. Um, and we got some other tricks up our sleeves. Um, you guys, I know we were supposed to go to, uh... Just speaking quickly on this and I usually don't, um, to DC. Um, we were spo- we were scheduled to go there, um, and, um, we did not make it, so we're trying to reschedule that, um, and get that back. We appreciate y'all, DC, showing us the love and, and inviting us down. Um, we're, we're trying to get that back worked out. And if we get everything back worked out, we will be there. We love to come. Hey, we like you guys. Matter of fact, we love you guys.

[42:13] Speaker 4: I love DC. I love DC.

[42:14] Speaker 3: Yeah.

[42:14] Speaker 4: That's one of my favorite cities.

[42:16] Speaker 3: Yeah. So, so listen, we, we will, we will definitely see what we can work out and get back. And I'm, I'm just trying to answer some of the questions and the things that was been said, um, um, and asked 'cause we've been kind of, like I said, we were on vacation.

[43:04] Speaker 3: So listen, let me tell you guys this, it's not just a shelf wine, so you ain't gonna see it on the shelf, it's gonna be exclusive. Um, we will have it through the website and we will also have it offered here on Talking with Ron. Um, so remember, remember it's gonna be very exclusive, you won't be seeing it on the shelf, um, because we want it exclusive, one, to our listeners and we want our listeners to, whoever they want to invite and tell it to, um, and it, and it's gonna have an acquired taste.
