We're dropping the first two episodes of The Real Ones and today we feature a city that is right in the center of my heart, city of Baltimore.

This episode features one of Baltimore's finest Tony Maggio. Tony was raised in Baltimore's east side and he grew up to police those same streets.

He's revered by everyone on the force and he's also in the respect of the community that he polices.

That's because not only does he take his job seriously, but he polices with respect and he polices with compassion.

I don't want to embarrass you, but we got a couple quotes of some things that police have said about you on the department.

I'm not going to tell you who they're from, but I'm just going to read a couple of them.

One of them said that you're honest, you're kind, you're upfront, you're trustworthy, and you're the king of the east side.

One person said that you have a calming effect. Actually a lot of people said that. That you have a calming effect. You always feel safe and comfortable with manage.

Even in a fucked up situation, he will make you laugh and he will ease your mind.

One person said, you're Mr. Drug cop himself. The absolute best the best. The fiercest leader and the true definition of Baltimore's finest.

He's continuously trying young officers doing it due to having an abundant amount of knowledge and the craft that he is perfected.

So that's what they're saying about you. I guess just to start off, man, tell me where you're from, what part of the city you're from, and what the city of Baltimore means to you.

So grew up in Baltimore. It was born on the east side, lived at Luzern in Monument.

One thing from Baltimore, you'll find out when you ask them where they're from, it's either going to be an intersection or a hundred block or an east side west side, something like that.

You don't really give, it's kind of like how we relate to where we're from.

It kind of stayed on the east side my whole life for the most part.

I moved away a couple of times, you know, with family like the Florida California, but always ended up back in Baltimore.

And then we didn't move out of the city until kind of when I was like 15, we moved down to the suburbs, just because it was getting really bad and I started getting a little bit of trouble.

But yeah, I mean, I grew up in a rough part of the city, you know, and I watched it change over the years.
