Oh yes, the Dodgers will take on the Blue Jays

the seventh excuse me, top of the ninth man numbers.
Blue Jays were able to take down the Mariners in
that Game seven of the ALCS. They will now, of course,
(00:32):
move on to play the Los Angeles Dodgers this Friday.
The first time the Toronto Blue Jays will be in
the World Series since nineteen ninety three. They won it
ninety three and ninety two, I believe, and so it's
sort of like legacy versus relevance. It's the vintage under
(00:58):
underdog return thirty years later to face the defending champions.
Gonna be very exciting. Heating up, Sam, you're a baseball guy.
You remember last time Toronto was in the World Series.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Yeah, I'm not sure if it was the ninety two
or the ninety three series, but I remember it was
one in Game seven, Joe Carter hit the game winning
homer to end the series, and it's one of the
more iconic moments in baseball history.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
What's your prediction going into the World Series now? Blah,

It is the happiest place on earth for sure. Well,
we absolutely appreciate you calling Golden Kral is a great answer,
especially if you can kind of do a double duty
of getting a snack and also stocking up for the pantry.
That's very smart. That might be the best today, right,
the best answer that I've heard so far. So, George,

Speaker 2 (04:46):
Oh man? Is Pedro moreno with us tonight. He is

for your service. Golden Crowd. Great answer. We've got another
call here, Scott from Coasta, Mesa.
Speaker 8 (05:21):
Well, Hello, you know your rules were a little you see, so.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Yeah, you're right. I haven't really defined this too specifically
like where you I think I know where you're going
with this, but go ahead.
Speaker 8 (05:36):
Well I'm going to stretch it a little bit. And
we talked about it. You talked about it earlier.
Speaker 9 (05:43):
About going to Disneyland. You know you once you're in Disneyland,
you're under that umbrella. That's a great answer, pace man.
Speaker 8 (05:55):
You get to ride the wides and then they have
all these restaurants that are really spectacular.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
So you would get a day passed to Disneyland forever.
That could be like one thousand dollars value if you.
Speaker 9 (06:08):
Do it right, the ten thousand dollars or whatever.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Well I for day, I mean, well.
Speaker 8 (06:15):
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Wow.
Speaker 9 (06:20):
There's there's a selection, there's entertainment, there's uh.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
There you go any any restaurants in particular that you
got to stop by. I'm a big fan of the
Bayou over there and getting a Monte Cristo sandwich.
Speaker 9 (06:41):
I was just going to say, the one with the
Pirates of the Caribbean.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Is that the Bayou, that's the Blue Bayou. Good stuff.
Speaker 8 (06:48):
Yeah, you know.
Speaker 9 (06:50):
My frugality when I went there and stuff.
Speaker 8 (06:53):
We didn't really eat at the.
Speaker 9 (06:54):
Restaurants there because they were a little bit pricey.
Speaker 8 (06:57):
But hey, if the rules are that I could eat
there for free forever and all that stuff, why not.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
That's a pretty good answer. I thought Golden Corral was
a good answer. Disneyland is also a good answer. There
are no rules in this. It's really, I guess more
to just see where your head is ated any of
this stuff. But Scott, I really appreciate you for calling.
Great to talk to you, Disneyland, Golden Corral. I'll take
a turkey leg. That's a great you know, Disneyland's a
great answer. I was trying to think about how can
you maximize your dollar? That's pretty good, Ronner. Have you
(07:24):
thought of anything?
Speaker 10 (07:25):
Oh, well, we have a Morton's next door. Oh, as
soon as they start giving gold cards or black cards
or whatever, I'll take one of those.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Yeah, that's good because then you could just pop down
in between a break and grab a martini.
Speaker 10 (07:36):
Right, martini and phile, we're good hearing perhaps some lobster
to stuff in my cargo pants.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Yeah, you could just grab it on the go, just
popping out a little lobster bite from the old chinos.
Speaker 10 (07:49):
Sir?
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Is that a lobster tail? Very good? I love it.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
Well.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
If you'd like to continue to call, be on the
show eight hundred and five to zero one five three four.
Tell us what if you could get a black cart
or celebrity card to a restaurant where you would eat
every day forever for free? What would it be? That's
eight hundred and five to two zero one five three four. Okay,
if I am six forty, We're live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app. I'm Andy Reesmeier. Thanks for joining us this evening,
(08:16):
this Monday, October twentieth. We now know the Dodgers will
be taking on the Blue Jays Friday at seven pm
on five, five seventy. That's right, you know. I will
also be here just so you know, Friday at seven pm.
(08:39):
So if you don't like the Dodgers, and you don't
have to tell anybody, if you just turn't interested and
you'd like to spend the evening with us, we'll be
here for you. What we'll be talking about probably the
Dodgers a little bit. I mean, obviously we got to
pay attention. It's important. But they'll take on the Toronto
Blue Jays, that is, after the Blue Jays in Game seven.
(09:00):
If you did the Seattle Mariners, I was kind of
excited to see a Seattle Dodgers World Series. I don't
know why. It would have been Seattle's first time. That's
kind of fun. And you know what, Tronto not being
in the World Series since nineteen ninety three, that's still
pretty good too to have them come back here.
Speaker 10 (09:16):
I moved here from Seattle and I'm trying to I'm
gonna get in touch with friends just to see how
people are responding there, because they've got to be just
absolutely despondent.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Well, they're already their baseline is very sad already.
Speaker 10 (09:28):
Well, there's a reason all the serial killers come from
the Northwest.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
It's because of the weather. It took an hour and
twenty two minutes for Mark Ronner to bring up serial killer. Well,
it's I only speak the truth, Okay, I do. I
love it up there. But a place that invented grunge,
a lot of Lexapro. Just just saying a lot of
lexra pro subscriptions up there. Not an accident. We are
talking about the story that we sort of teased earlier
(09:53):
about the Chipotle celebrity card, the idea that certain celebrities
deserving of it or not. We had a card to
Chipotle where they can eat for free one meal of
Chipotle a day forever. It's renewed every year. They probably
got a tweet about her to talk about it, share
it on Instagram, or their podcast. Every celebrity has a podcast.
Now we've been asking you forget Chipotle. Where, if anywhere
(10:18):
you could get a card to eat for free forever.
Where would you get that? We had Disneyland earlier, we
had cheesecake Factory. Liz is on the line from Arizona. Hello, Hello,
thanks for calling. Good evening, gooday evening.
Speaker 7 (10:36):
How you guys doing.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Oh we're so good. Better talking to you now. So,
what is the place that you would like to have
on All you Can Eat Pass forever?
Speaker 7 (10:45):
I would say for me, it would be BUCkies.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Now, BUCkies is not in the southern California thing, but
correct it is. It's kind of like the world's greatest
rest stop gas station. Yeah, yeah, yes, yes, that's pretty good.
That's pretty good. So I'm assuming they have They have
them in Arizona though, right where you're where you are.
Speaker 7 (11:09):
Well, there's one coming next summer in Arizona. But I've
been to the ones out in Texas and out in
the East Coast.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Yeah, I know they're big in Texas. I know they're
big in uh uh. I think tech Like driving through
West Texas, there's pretty much nothing for five hundred miles
but a few BUCkies. But maybe Alabama also, I think
you know they've got It's like you said, it's a
truck stop. But when you say that, La people, we
don't understand what that means. What's the experience like when
(11:38):
you go to BUCkies.
Speaker 7 (11:40):
Well, it's not actually a truck stop. It's a gas
station on steroids. Let's put it this way, because buy
has their own brand as of like snacks, but it's
way better than the popular snacks that you can find
at any gas station. They also have a little sex.
It's not little, but it's a section of home shopping
(12:04):
clothes shopping. They make their own barbecue in house, like
they smoke their own meat. They do a lot of
beef turkeys. They do it themselves. Also, they bake their
own stuff. Everything is in house for BUCkies.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
This is like seven eleven has nothing on BUCkies, is
what you're telling me.
Speaker 7 (12:23):
Oh no, nothing at all. Everything is fresh every single day,
and it's pretty cheap too.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Now I have to ask you for full disclosure. You
don't own a BUCkies, right.
Speaker 7 (12:34):
No, I don't. I just love it so much that
every time I can. You know, you know, I'm over
the road driver, So every time I can, I'll stop
at a BUCkies.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
So yeah, that's great. So when you're over the road driver,
share with us what that means. Specifically, trucks, buses, what's
the what's the cargo? What are you pulling?
Speaker 7 (12:55):
I drive a big truck, a semi truck, and it
is pharmaceutical.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
How many feet.
Speaker 7 (13:04):
The trailer itself is some fifty three?
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Geez louis whatever the truck is, does it have like
thirty eight gears?
Speaker 7 (13:13):
Not necessarily, some of them have eighteen. Some of them
have tanks. So it depends on the like the it's
like a car, the makeup the model of.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
The truck a different. Yeah, do you have your own rig,
as they say? Is that what they call it? They
call them a rig?
Speaker 7 (13:28):
Yes, yes, no I don't. I'll work for a company now,
but I used to. It just got too expensive, I'm sure.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
I mean, how much does it cost to fill up
a full semi truck at the gas station nowadays? Diesel? Right?
Speaker 7 (13:44):
Well, yes, diesel and DF So it's like a adapter
for the fuel for the clean emissions. So the semi
trucks have two tanks, one of me on each side,
and it all depends on it varies on the gallons.
But it's probably between five hundred and nine hundred Oh
(14:07):
my dollars.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Yes, that's crazy. And how long will you drive before
you got to be like, I gotta stop here at
a Ramada inn real quick, take a snooze.
Speaker 7 (14:18):
Well, for sure, for sure, it's one today.
Speaker 10 (14:21):
Wow.
Speaker 7 (14:22):
Wow, we had to feel one today.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Yet, So like your gas mileage isn't that great?
Speaker 7 (14:27):
No, it's not. And then all the cargo, you know,
it's it's That's why we always advocate on don't give
us space, you know, watch out for the big trucks
because we're heavy.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
I'll tell you what. I have such respect for you guys.
I drove a tour bus like stupidly with my band.
We've played Austin, Texas south by Southwest back in twenty eleven,
and we went on Craigslist and found a cheap old
tour bus to rent, and we went out to somewhere
in the Inland Empire. We picked it up and I
drove it because we were so broken. We were like,
(15:00):
oh I was you know, I was twenty two years old.
I thought I could do that. So we stopped and
we picked up this. We pick up this forty five
foot tour of bus. I should I had no business strive.
I had never driven a pickup truck, let alone something
this big had a tag axle.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
And I drove that dang thing from from probably Hemmet,
I think, all the way to Austin and back. And
I was so exhausted. Fifteen minutes in. I was like,
I'm not I don't know how we're gonna do it.
We did make it. We had a little run with
the border patrol. One of our friends had some uh
(15:36):
had some vitamins with him that you're not supposed to
bring into Texas. I understand. But but we we did
make it. But I just have you know, I thought, man,
people do this every day, this is their job, and
it's it was so stressful and exhausting, you know, because
and and it's your weighs fifty million pounds, crazy crazy, Well.
Speaker 7 (15:58):
Yes, and we we drive for twelve hours, fourteen hour days,
so it's like, you know, every day, all day. And
I've been doing it now for twenty years. So you
just get the more you do it, you get used
to it. If you like it.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
I can't are there are there a lot of women
out there driving trucks now?
Speaker 7 (16:16):
Yes? When I started, No, not really.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Wow, that's kind of a cool life though. You know
you kind of just get to pick up and see
the world every day. That's that's that's pretty awesome.
Speaker 7 (16:25):
Yes, it is. Yeah, when when somebody's starting, you know,
that's the thing that they just want to travel and
they want to see the world, they want to go everywhere.
But once you've done it like myself, like I said,
I've done it for twenty years, so it's like, oh,
I'm here again, you know.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Well, Liz, Liz, I appreciate you so much for Collin
so fascinating, love hearing about stuff like that, and like
your job and BUCkies and the whole world out there.
It's it's always good to expand your horizon. So we
appreciate you giving us a call. The lines are open
here up. Thank you have a great, great, great night.
Eight hundred and five two is you're a one three
four you're.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
KIM six forty. I'm Andy Reestmeyer. You can find me
on the internet if you'd like to reach me there
at Andy KTLA on Instagram. We checked the dms there
every once in a while. I had the same question
on the KTLA Morning News, what would you do if
you had or what restaurant would you pick if you
could get free food there for life? Like where would
you like to eat every single day? Had some really
(17:29):
really good answers. We've had some answers that have kind
of bent the rules a little bit like Disneyland. A
great answer, A good deal from Scott calling from Costa Mesa.
I can't deny. It's an excellent answer. It's an incredible value,
not technically a restaurant, but also there's no rules here.
We just talked to over the road truck driver named
Liz from Arizona who told us all about BUCkies kind
(17:53):
of like the bass Pro shops of convenience stores.
Speaker 10 (17:58):
I'm looking up BUCkies right now. And did she mentioned
they make their own barbecue. Yes, okay, yeah, we gotta
try this. Yeah, we got to go to Texas. I
think I went.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
When I went on that trip, I blocked out a
lot of that trip when I was driving a bus
across Texas. I mean truly, I remember going through West
Texas driving the stupid bus again early twenties, forty foot
Pravo forty five foot something like that tour bus. Like
a child driving a tour bus. People that's their jobs.
And I'm going through West Texas and it's like the
wind is so strong that you have to hold the
(18:28):
big bus steering wheel like half cocked right, half over
turn so you can go straight because the wind is
blowing the bus so bad, and then you'd cut through
this pass where there's you know, rocks that have been
blasted out so they could put the highway through there,
and you blow through there, and then the bus settles,
you know, because the wind stops, and you got to
straighten out the wheel real quick, and then you reach
(18:50):
the other side of those rocks and then the wind
comes back and then you're back to doing that for
five hours. That's heroin Who And as I said, I
alluded to this got to the Exis border, everything was
fine going into Texas. About an hour later there's a checkpoint.
This was two thousand and eleven, so things were a
little different then, although maybe in Texas they're the same
that they are. The things that are okay in California
(19:13):
are not okay in Texas. This is a fact that
I shared with every single member of the band. They
were well aware. I was Grandpa Reesemeyer saying all of
the things that you like to do in California are
not going to be welcome when we get to Texas.
So please make sure that before the new Mexico border
cubs they are either consumed or out the window. Please again,
(19:37):
Band musician twenty This is a different egra.
Speaker 10 (19:41):
Sounds like an old cheech and chong bit actually.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
And so of course one of these a holes I
won't say who John Newell, the guitarist, didn't listen. And
we got there and there was some paraphernalia and the
border patrol in Texas does not mess around. So it's
like early in the morning, one o'clock, two o'clock in
the morning. They stop us at the border patrol. The
dogs get a hit, they board the bus, they pull
(20:06):
us all off. They take us into this like holding
room and it's like drill sergeant Texas Border Patrol agent,
like they are screaming at us and we're children, right
again twenty two, twenty three years old. This never happened
to the Partridge family. No, yeah, yeah, you're right. But
because they knew how to hold, they knew how to
(20:28):
hide their stuff. Man, seriously, I mean, Danny knew where,
Danny knew where to Bonaducci. Yeah, okay, but by the
grace of God, some very nice man there and uh,
Texas just let us off with a warning, So I
very appreciative of that. We made it through anyway. Wow,
(20:49):
long walk to get to that story. We were talking
about Sizzler in the break Sam you brought up Sizzler
as a great old school restaurant that existed in the
nineteen ninety That really feels like it didn't exist. I mean,
maybe it was the eighties, but at least it went away,
and it feels like just the thing that existed right
in that early time period that never anywhere else.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
I don't even remember any like news reports. It just
quietly slipped away from us.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Would you say it? Oh, did it sit? Did it
sizzle out? Yeah? Yeah, kind of sizz fizzled and sizzled out. Well,
you can relive your Sizzler memories with a four minute
and forty second Sizzler promotional commercial from nineteen ninety one,
which you could look up. But why when I'll just
play it for you. Listen.
Speaker 11 (21:34):
Quality in their personal life, in their business life, in
the goods they purchase, and in the food they eat.
They want good basic home cooking quality for it time,
and they want choices, variety, Oh, at a reasonable price.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
There's the ice cream bar, gorgeous shots four by three.
Speaker 10 (21:55):
Is there anybody who didn't want to just put their
mouth on the ice cream nozzle?
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Turn it on an officer with the fresh strawberry. This
promotional commercial, this is not how I remember it looking.
I remember it streamed strewn across those sub mini subtial tiles.
Speaker 11 (22:12):
Tom Loricans wanting back it.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Sizzler brings the choices. This is not a joke. Who
is singing that you, Sizzler? Is the choice?
Speaker 9 (22:23):
Is?
Speaker 6 (22:23):
That?
Speaker 11 (22:24):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Maybe bon Jovi? Oh it's John Jovie. I see you've.
Speaker 12 (22:30):
Been looking for.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Giving you the right to choose.
Speaker 12 (22:36):
We're offering much more.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
A lot of people in pantsuits at the buffet. That's
what we're looking at right now. Holding to traditions get
changing with the time. Choice didn't change that much.
Speaker 12 (22:53):
Selections, choices of directions, choices, the choice.
Speaker 7 (23:16):
Everybody.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
A caraffe of rose is being delivered to two unsuspected.
Is a man going to propose at the Sizzler? Sizzler,
get a little freedom in your life. I had a
saxophone soslo about to come up. We can't.
Speaker 10 (23:40):
I don't think we can afford to play it. That
was David Coverdale, wasn't it? It was an anthem?
Speaker 2 (23:45):
It was remarkable. I have we have so many calls.
I gotta get to Can we get to one here
before I hand it over to you, mister honors take
all right, h we've got who do we have? We

Speaker 6 (24:03):
Good evening, Oh good eave me Andy and Mark Ronner.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
My choice of the fad of one choice would be
King Taco.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
King Taco.
Speaker 6 (24:14):
Okay, okay, yeah.
Speaker 10 (24:16):
Now Conway talks about King Taco constantly, but there's none
near here, so it's just torture. Tell us more about
King Taco because I've never been there.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
Listen, it's great, but they don't have a drive through either,
and uh, they don't ever give out like any they don't.
They don't advertise on commercials.
Speaker 10 (24:36):
Yea.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
The tacos advertise themselves. King Taco is amazing.
Speaker 10 (24:41):
All right, I'm dying here.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Yes, let's go. There's one in Glendale, it appears, so
that's not too far.
Speaker 5 (24:46):
Rn Echo Park, Echo Park.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
We'll go there. That's not far either. I love Echo Park.
And what is the thing? What is the thing to order?
Is it a taco? Well?
Speaker 4 (24:58):
I mean yeah, there's tamal, there's tacos. There's I mean
all kinds of different kinds of meat, Like if you're
into all that carnasata for sure out the store. That's
like pork, uh, seasoned pork and uh, there's different kinds
I mean if you're into all that, like yeah, stuff
like brains and yeah they got that too.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
That sounds delicious. This weekend, did they have the protest? Yeah?
This the protest on Saturday I think was against Yeah.
Speaker 10 (25:26):
Did they have a no King's Taco on Saturday?
Speaker 2 (25:28):
That's what it was?
Speaker 6 (25:31):
Yeah, no or no Burger king out.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
But anyways, yeah, King Talk would be it.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
I love it King Taco. Great answer, Thank you so
much for calling. Gabriel Manta Beello And yes, sir, so
we have a caller who is in Santa Clarina. She
has good news for you guys. Since you guys are
all obsessed with Sizzlers at the moment, take your call. Okay,
Santa Clarita, you're on the line.
Speaker 5 (25:57):
I am calling to let you know there is this
are left and it's on lust Feeless in Outwater Village.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
No, do we have to do the show for the
next hour and fifteen minutes or can we all just
go to Sizzler I think we could do this show
and then we can go to sists. Well wait a minute,
you know how Gary and Shannon do the news and bruise?
What about buffet and and uh? I got to think
of a clever thing first. All you can eat butter
biscuits or something all you can eat news. Oh what
(26:27):
a nightmare? Well is it? Is it truly still a Sizzler.
That's like the actual place she's toasting everything. Oh my god,
my god, Well, wait a minute, do they play the
song Sizzler Families take Off? They have so many locations
still in business. Yeah, in Orange County there was a
few also. I am truly so dumb. We need to
(26:48):
go this is this is a huge development. There's one,
there's one in Van NY's. There's one like five minutes
away from what are we? Oh my goodness, this is
such a development. Is the one that's the freedom I've
been looking for? My goodness, Vaughan, thank you so much
for calling mister Rounnerd. I know we are way over
time here.
Speaker 10 (27:07):
I'm it's fine. If you hate Sizzler, you hate America.
I'm down with this.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
This is that's the protest that I want to see. Yeah,
anybody who doesn't like Sizzler, Wow, they do. They've got
looking looks delicious. I bet you know what I bet
these days, especially when it's like five hundred dollars to
go out to a meal for two people, I bet
you a Sizzler cheese toast, which is free with every meal.
By the way, cheese toast experience at Sizzler is probably
(27:32):
very very good and very economical. I'm just gonna say
they don't publish the costs of their things on the website,
which is a little concern. But in general, this looks
very good, and I bet you it's better than a
better than going to one of those Michelin star restaurants.
Speaker 10 (27:49):
Yeah, I gotta I got to pick out the right
warm up suit to wear.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Yes, that's right, all right, everybody hit it over to
Mark Round in the twenty four hour newsroom. If I
am six forty, Andy Reesemeyer here were everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app as well. Following some breaking news out of
I'll call it Highland Park, Montascito Heights, Mount Washington one
ten North at exit twenty seven, which is Avenue forty three,
(28:14):
A pursuit has just ended Los Angeles police department was
in pursuit of a stolen they are saying allegedly a
stolen vehicle. It was a van, a white van. The
pursuit is over now near Exit twenty seven. There After,
(28:36):
the driver stopped in that number one lane, that's the
lane closest to the center divider, and jumped out across
the freeway, hopped the median into oncoming traffic the other direction,
and was either subdued by police officers or met some
(28:57):
other kind of fate. All I can tell you right
now is that, at least from the helicopter perspectives that
we have here from Fox eleven and also KTLA, they're
staying fairly wide. The shot is fairly wide because it
appears that that suspect is laying down on the freeway
(29:19):
on his back. Typically, when a pursuit ends, you don't
always see a suspect laying on their back. If they
are giving up, they will lay on their front and
the police will then come around there. So I'm getting
details here still from the desk from KTLA. Ron D
(29:41):
do you have any other details about this man's condition
or what may have happened to him?
Speaker 10 (29:45):
I got nothing so far, of course, We have a
Channel nine on right now and they just have the
same wide overhead shot you were talking about.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Yeah, so it's interesting because KTLA, like I said, the desk,
they're going back and forth. LAPD's requesting canopy, which generally
that would mean that he's no longer with us here.
So interesting end there to a pursuit. Pretty crazy jumps
out of the car and then into across the median
(30:14):
into the freeway. That one ten freeway there through Mount
Washington heading north towards Pasadena towards northeast Los Angeles towards
Eagle Rock Highland Park. That freeway is very, very difficult.
It's very small. It was the first freeway built in
southern California, so the turn radius for those those turns
(30:35):
coming around the corners there designed for much slower travel,
And all that to be said is that it's very
can be a very dangerous and tight intersection, a rather
intersection tight area of the freeway when you're coming around
a corner or those on and off ramps. They're very short,
really tough end there, but looks like traffic is also stopped.
(30:59):
And I can't tell from this angle if we're looking
if he is down in the northbound or the southbound
lanes of traffic, but I think both both directions look
like they're stopped. I don't know if we have Pedro
mister Pedro Moreno on the on the line accessible there,
but it doesn't look good for people there who are
trying to travel through the one ten freeway from downtown
(31:20):
Los Angeles to northeast LA and vice versa. So it
looks like some caution tape is out, flares are being deployed.
Traffic stopped there by the Los Angeles Police Department looks
like who's responding there. I'm sure CCHP will be involved
as well if they have to close this freeway quick pursuit.
(31:41):
Like we said, we'll give you updates when we get him.
Here's a hard turn. Let's go back to Let's go
back to Sizzler.
Speaker 10 (31:49):
Can't go wrong.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
I'm just learning here that there are many hundreds of.
Speaker 10 (31:57):
Sizzlers that are still open, and apparently the majority of
them are in California. Google says sixty eight percent of
the remaining ones are here in California.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Hey, we're doing something right.
Speaker 10 (32:06):
Seriously, can't fault that we got bumped down to the
fifth largest economy, but we got the most Sizzlers.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
We got the most Sizzlers, fifth largest economy, most Sissler.
Sizzler might as well be in the Witness Protection program.
Like in terms of a restaurant existing with that many
locations that no one even are. Many people don't know.
I don't know, did any of you know? No, they
don't advertise.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
They don't have any TV, no radio spots, no print ads.
Right like you just it's like word of mouth and
you just have to drive by it.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
The one we used to go to all the time
when I was growing up in Indianapolis. That closed probably
nineteen ninety eight somewhere thereabouts, and it has been basically
abandoned ever since. So that was my frame of reference.
You don't hear a lot about them.
Speaker 10 (32:47):
I'm fascinated with all you can eat places.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
By the way, Oh yeah, like because you're not a
big eater, Well no, I can eat exactly one plate
of food actually, But people who go.
Speaker 10 (32:57):
To these things and just go to town. I loved
watch that, and I can't really explain why. It's the
same reason I like the hot Dog Gluttony contest. And
by the way, they don't call them gluttony contests anymore.
There's some negative connotation with gluttony, and years ago they
changed all you can eat to all you care to eat,
Like that makes a big difference. The semantics of that. Indeed, Yeah,
(33:21):
all you can eat, that's fascinating. All you care to eat?
It is very interesting the specifics. All right, we are
out of time here. It's KFI AM six forty live
everywhere on the iHeartRadio
Speaker 1 (33:30):
App, KFI AM six forty on demand
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Oh yes, the Dodgers will take on the Blue Jays
in the last oh five minutes or so, top of
the seventh excuse me, top of the ninth man numbers.
Blue Jays were able to take down the Mariners in
that Game seven of the ALCS. They will now, of course,
(00:32):
move on to play the Los Angeles Dodgers this Friday.
The first time the Toronto Blue Jays will be in
the World Series since nineteen ninety three. They won it
ninety three and ninety two, I believe, and so it's
sort of like legacy versus relevance. It's the vintage under
(00:58):
underdog return thirty years later to face the defending champions.
Gonna be very exciting. Heating up, Sam, you're a baseball guy.
You remember last time Toronto was in the World Series.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Yeah, I'm not sure if it was the ninety two
or the ninety three series, but I remember it was
one in Game seven, Joe Carter hit the game winning
homer to end the series, and it's one of the
more iconic moments in baseball history.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
What's your prediction going into the World Series now? Blah,
blah blah blah, Dodgers and five. Yeah, Dodger Oh, Dodgers
in five?
Speaker 4 (01:38):
Great?
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Okay, perfect, Well, we'll be looking forward to it. Friday
is a first game. I think we'll be here together.
Ronner and I will be here together, Sam, I are
you gonna be a Dodger stadium? Are gonna be watching
the game?
Speaker 3 (01:50):
I would be standing outside of Dodgers sell a stadium
selling fake T shirts.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Love that? Okay, keep one in an extra small for
me plays. We have a caller on the line. We've
been talking about things that you might want to keep
going to every day forever, Like if you could have
one item of food for free forever, what would it be?
Checking in with George from Laverne. You're on CAFI. Good evening,
(02:18):

I definitely appreciate and understand that, and so thankful for
your dad's service. So great down there in Anaheim visiting
the grandkids. How many grandkids you got does he have?

Speaker 6 (03:29):
Oh, what a joy that is.
Speaker 5 (03:30):
Wowt's one and three.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Hey, that is huge. Do you guys get to Disneyland

Speaker 6 (03:37):
Oh? No, they've been. The three year old's been twice and.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
It is the happiest place on earth for sure. Well,
we absolutely appreciate you calling Golden Kral is a great answer,
especially if you can kind of do a double duty
of getting a snack and also stocking up for the pantry.
That's very smart. That might be the best today, right,
the best answer that I've heard so far. So, George,
thank you for calling. What's your dad's name?
Speaker 5 (04:01):
His name is George also senior.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
George Senior and George Junior. What is is it your

Speaker 6 (04:18):
Something now, oh man, this is my only shot.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Is the whole family from southern California or I mean
Ohio at some point? Right?
Speaker 6 (04:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (04:28):
He was.
Speaker 6 (04:28):
I was born in Buffalo, so we were raised in.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
Buffalo, New York, and then we moved around the little
in California. Came calling in the seventies and he took
you a nice job out here.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
So look at that. Well, how's your drive going? And
how long until you get home?
Speaker 6 (04:41):
Diamond Barr? It's awful? Sixty and fifty seven if you
ever been out here? Awful?
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Oh man? Is Pedro moreno with us tonight. He is
he is? He is? He think he just he was
just on. I'm sure he's probably busy talking to somebody else,
but I wondered if he could help you. Is there
is there a different route we could take? Probably not.
Speaker 6 (05:02):
It's okay, it's normal. It's normal.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
There you go.
Speaker 5 (05:05):
So you just call you guys and deal with it's
that's right.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
That's right. Well, thank you so much for listening. Thanks
for calling as always, George and George Senior, thank you
for your service. Golden Crowd. Great answer. We've got another
call here, Scott from Coasta, Mesa.
Speaker 8 (05:21):
Well, Hello, you know your rules were a little you see, so.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Yeah, you're right. I haven't really defined this too specifically
like where you I think I know where you're going
with this, but go ahead.
Speaker 8 (05:36):
Well I'm going to stretch it a little bit. And
we talked about it. You talked about it earlier.
Speaker 9 (05:43):
About going to Disneyland. You know you once you're in Disneyland,
you're under that umbrella. That's a great answer, pace man.
Speaker 8 (05:55):
You get to ride the wides and then they have
all these restaurants that are really spectacular.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
So you would get a day passed to Disneyland forever.
That could be like one thousand dollars value if you.
Speaker 9 (06:08):
Do it right, the ten thousand dollars or whatever.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Well I for day, I mean, well.
Speaker 8 (06:15):
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Wow.
Speaker 9 (06:20):
There's there's a selection, there's entertainment, there's uh.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
There you go any any restaurants in particular that you
got to stop by. I'm a big fan of the
Bayou over there and getting a Monte Cristo sandwich.
Speaker 9 (06:41):
I was just going to say, the one with the
Pirates of the Caribbean.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Is that the Bayou, that's the Blue Bayou. Good stuff.
Speaker 8 (06:48):
Yeah, you know.
Speaker 9 (06:50):
My frugality when I went there and stuff.
Speaker 8 (06:53):
We didn't really eat at the.
Speaker 9 (06:54):
Restaurants there because they were a little bit pricey.
Speaker 8 (06:57):
But hey, if the rules are that I could eat
there for free forever and all that stuff, why not.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
That's a pretty good answer. I thought Golden Corral was
a good answer. Disneyland is also a good answer. There
are no rules in this. It's really, I guess more
to just see where your head is ated any of
this stuff. But Scott, I really appreciate you for calling.
Great to talk to you, Disneyland, Golden Corral. I'll take
a turkey leg. That's a great you know, Disneyland's a
great answer. I was trying to think about how can
you maximize your dollar? That's pretty good, Ronner. Have you
(07:24):
thought of anything?
Speaker 10 (07:25):
Oh, well, we have a Morton's next door. Oh, as
soon as they start giving gold cards or black cards
or whatever, I'll take one of those.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Yeah, that's good because then you could just pop down
in between a break and grab a martini.
Speaker 10 (07:36):
Right, martini and phile, we're good hearing perhaps some lobster
to stuff in my cargo pants.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Yeah, you could just grab it on the go, just
popping out a little lobster bite from the old chinos.
Speaker 10 (07:49):
Sir?
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Is that a lobster tail? Very good? I love it.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
Well.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
If you'd like to continue to call, be on the
show eight hundred and five to zero one five three four.
Tell us what if you could get a black cart
or celebrity card to a restaurant where you would eat
every day forever for free? What would it be? That's
eight hundred and five to two zero one five three four. Okay,
if I am six forty, We're live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app. I'm Andy Reesmeier. Thanks for joining us this evening,
(08:16):
this Monday, October twentieth. We now know the Dodgers will
be taking on the Blue Jays Friday at seven pm
on five, five seventy. That's right, you know. I will
also be here just so you know, Friday at seven pm.
(08:39):
So if you don't like the Dodgers, and you don't
have to tell anybody, if you just turn't interested and
you'd like to spend the evening with us, we'll be
here for you. What we'll be talking about probably the
Dodgers a little bit. I mean, obviously we got to
pay attention. It's important. But they'll take on the Toronto
Blue Jays, that is, after the Blue Jays in Game seven.
(09:00):
If you did the Seattle Mariners, I was kind of
excited to see a Seattle Dodgers World Series. I don't
know why. It would have been Seattle's first time. That's
kind of fun. And you know what, Tronto not being
in the World Series since nineteen ninety three, that's still
pretty good too to have them come back here.
Speaker 10 (09:16):
I moved here from Seattle and I'm trying to I'm
gonna get in touch with friends just to see how
people are responding there, because they've got to be just
absolutely despondent.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Well, they're already their baseline is very sad already.
Speaker 10 (09:28):
Well, there's a reason all the serial killers come from
the Northwest.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
It's because of the weather. It took an hour and
twenty two minutes for Mark Ronner to bring up serial killer. Well,
it's I only speak the truth, Okay, I do. I
love it up there. But a place that invented grunge,
a lot of Lexapro. Just just saying a lot of
lexra pro subscriptions up there. Not an accident. We are
talking about the story that we sort of teased earlier
(09:53):
about the Chipotle celebrity card, the idea that certain celebrities
deserving of it or not. We had a card to
Chipotle where they can eat for free one meal of
Chipotle a day forever. It's renewed every year. They probably
got a tweet about her to talk about it, share
it on Instagram, or their podcast. Every celebrity has a podcast.
Now we've been asking you forget Chipotle. Where, if anywhere
(10:18):
you could get a card to eat for free forever.
Where would you get that? We had Disneyland earlier, we
had cheesecake Factory. Liz is on the line from Arizona. Hello, Hello,
thanks for calling. Good evening, gooday evening.
Speaker 7 (10:36):
How you guys doing.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Oh we're so good. Better talking to you now. So,
what is the place that you would like to have
on All you Can Eat Pass forever?
Speaker 7 (10:45):
I would say for me, it would be BUCkies.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Now, BUCkies is not in the southern California thing, but
correct it is. It's kind of like the world's greatest
rest stop gas station. Yeah, yeah, yes, yes, that's pretty good.
That's pretty good. So I'm assuming they have They have
them in Arizona though, right where you're where you are.
Speaker 7 (11:09):
Well, there's one coming next summer in Arizona. But I've
been to the ones out in Texas and out in
the East Coast.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Yeah, I know they're big in Texas. I know they're
big in uh uh. I think tech Like driving through
West Texas, there's pretty much nothing for five hundred miles
but a few BUCkies. But maybe Alabama also, I think
you know they've got It's like you said, it's a
truck stop. But when you say that, La people, we
don't understand what that means. What's the experience like when
(11:38):
you go to BUCkies.
Speaker 7 (11:40):
Well, it's not actually a truck stop. It's a gas
station on steroids. Let's put it this way, because buy
has their own brand as of like snacks, but it's
way better than the popular snacks that you can find
at any gas station. They also have a little sex.
It's not little, but it's a section of home shopping
(12:04):
clothes shopping. They make their own barbecue in house, like
they smoke their own meat. They do a lot of
beef turkeys. They do it themselves. Also, they bake their
own stuff. Everything is in house for BUCkies.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
This is like seven eleven has nothing on BUCkies, is
what you're telling me.
Speaker 7 (12:23):
Oh no, nothing at all. Everything is fresh every single day,
and it's pretty cheap too.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Now I have to ask you for full disclosure. You
don't own a BUCkies, right.
Speaker 7 (12:34):
No, I don't. I just love it so much that
every time I can. You know, you know, I'm over
the road driver, So every time I can, I'll stop
at a BUCkies.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
So yeah, that's great. So when you're over the road driver,
share with us what that means. Specifically, trucks, buses, what's
the what's the cargo? What are you pulling?
Speaker 7 (12:55):
I drive a big truck, a semi truck, and it
is pharmaceutical.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
How many feet.
Speaker 7 (13:04):
The trailer itself is some fifty three?
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Geez louis whatever the truck is, does it have like
thirty eight gears?
Speaker 7 (13:13):
Not necessarily, some of them have eighteen. Some of them
have tanks. So it depends on the like the it's
like a car, the makeup the model of.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
The truck a different. Yeah, do you have your own rig,
as they say? Is that what they call it? They
call them a rig?
Speaker 7 (13:28):
Yes, yes, no I don't. I'll work for a company now,
but I used to. It just got too expensive, I'm sure.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
I mean, how much does it cost to fill up
a full semi truck at the gas station nowadays? Diesel? Right?
Speaker 7 (13:44):
Well, yes, diesel and DF So it's like a adapter
for the fuel for the clean emissions. So the semi
trucks have two tanks, one of me on each side,
and it all depends on it varies on the gallons.
But it's probably between five hundred and nine hundred Oh
(14:07):
my dollars.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Yes, that's crazy. And how long will you drive before
you got to be like, I gotta stop here at
a Ramada inn real quick, take a snooze.
Speaker 7 (14:18):
Well, for sure, for sure, it's one today.
Speaker 10 (14:21):
Wow.
Speaker 7 (14:22):
Wow, we had to feel one today.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Yet, So like your gas mileage isn't that great?
Speaker 7 (14:27):
No, it's not. And then all the cargo, you know,
it's it's That's why we always advocate on don't give
us space, you know, watch out for the big trucks
because we're heavy.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
I'll tell you what. I have such respect for you guys.
I drove a tour bus like stupidly with my band.
We've played Austin, Texas south by Southwest back in twenty eleven,
and we went on Craigslist and found a cheap old
tour bus to rent, and we went out to somewhere
in the Inland Empire. We picked it up and I
drove it because we were so broken. We were like,
(15:00):
oh I was you know, I was twenty two years old.
I thought I could do that. So we stopped and
we picked up this. We pick up this forty five
foot tour of bus. I should I had no business strive.
I had never driven a pickup truck, let alone something
this big had a tag axle.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
And I drove that dang thing from from probably Hemmet,
I think, all the way to Austin and back. And
I was so exhausted. Fifteen minutes in. I was like,
I'm not I don't know how we're gonna do it.
We did make it. We had a little run with
the border patrol. One of our friends had some uh
(15:36):
had some vitamins with him that you're not supposed to
bring into Texas. I understand. But but we we did
make it. But I just have you know, I thought, man,
people do this every day, this is their job, and
it's it was so stressful and exhausting, you know, because
and and it's your weighs fifty million pounds, crazy crazy, Well.
Speaker 7 (15:58):
Yes, and we we drive for twelve hours, fourteen hour days,
so it's like, you know, every day, all day. And
I've been doing it now for twenty years. So you
just get the more you do it, you get used
to it. If you like it.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
I can't are there are there a lot of women
out there driving trucks now?
Speaker 7 (16:16):
Yes? When I started, No, not really.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Wow, that's kind of a cool life though. You know
you kind of just get to pick up and see
the world every day. That's that's that's pretty awesome.
Speaker 7 (16:25):
Yes, it is. Yeah, when when somebody's starting, you know,
that's the thing that they just want to travel and
they want to see the world, they want to go everywhere.
But once you've done it like myself, like I said,
I've done it for twenty years, so it's like, oh,
I'm here again, you know.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Well, Liz, Liz, I appreciate you so much for Collin
so fascinating, love hearing about stuff like that, and like
your job and BUCkies and the whole world out there.
It's it's always good to expand your horizon. So we
appreciate you giving us a call. The lines are open
here up. Thank you have a great, great, great night.
Eight hundred and five two is you're a one three
four you're.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
KIM six forty. I'm Andy Reestmeyer. You can find me
on the internet if you'd like to reach me there
at Andy KTLA on Instagram. We checked the dms there
every once in a while. I had the same question
on the KTLA Morning News, what would you do if
you had or what restaurant would you pick if you
could get free food there for life? Like where would
you like to eat every single day? Had some really
(17:29):
really good answers. We've had some answers that have kind
of bent the rules a little bit like Disneyland. A
great answer, A good deal from Scott calling from Costa Mesa.
I can't deny. It's an excellent answer. It's an incredible value,
not technically a restaurant, but also there's no rules here.
We just talked to over the road truck driver named
Liz from Arizona who told us all about BUCkies kind
(17:53):
of like the bass Pro shops of convenience stores.
Speaker 10 (17:58):
I'm looking up BUCkies right now. And did she mentioned
they make their own barbecue. Yes, okay, yeah, we gotta
try this. Yeah, we got to go to Texas. I
think I went.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
When I went on that trip, I blocked out a
lot of that trip when I was driving a bus
across Texas. I mean truly, I remember going through West
Texas driving the stupid bus again early twenties, forty foot
Pravo forty five foot something like that tour bus. Like
a child driving a tour bus. People that's their jobs.
And I'm going through West Texas and it's like the
wind is so strong that you have to hold the
(18:28):
big bus steering wheel like half cocked right, half over
turn so you can go straight because the wind is
blowing the bus so bad, and then you'd cut through
this pass where there's you know, rocks that have been
blasted out so they could put the highway through there,
and you blow through there, and then the bus settles,
you know, because the wind stops, and you got to
straighten out the wheel real quick, and then you reach
(18:50):
the other side of those rocks and then the wind
comes back and then you're back to doing that for
five hours. That's heroin Who And as I said, I
alluded to this got to the Exis border, everything was
fine going into Texas. About an hour later there's a checkpoint.
This was two thousand and eleven, so things were a
little different then, although maybe in Texas they're the same
that they are. The things that are okay in California
(19:13):
are not okay in Texas. This is a fact that
I shared with every single member of the band. They
were well aware. I was Grandpa Reesemeyer saying all of
the things that you like to do in California are
not going to be welcome when we get to Texas.
So please make sure that before the new Mexico border
cubs they are either consumed or out the window. Please again,
(19:37):
Band musician twenty This is a different egra.
Speaker 10 (19:41):
Sounds like an old cheech and chong bit actually.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
And so of course one of these a holes I
won't say who John Newell, the guitarist, didn't listen. And
we got there and there was some paraphernalia and the
border patrol in Texas does not mess around. So it's
like early in the morning, one o'clock, two o'clock in
the morning. They stop us at the border patrol. The
dogs get a hit, they board the bus, they pull
(20:06):
us all off. They take us into this like holding
room and it's like drill sergeant Texas Border Patrol agent,
like they are screaming at us and we're children, right
again twenty two, twenty three years old. This never happened
to the Partridge family. No, yeah, yeah, you're right. But
because they knew how to hold, they knew how to
(20:28):
hide their stuff. Man, seriously, I mean, Danny knew where,
Danny knew where to Bonaducci. Yeah, okay, but by the
grace of God, some very nice man there and uh,
Texas just let us off with a warning, So I
very appreciative of that. We made it through anyway. Wow,
(20:49):
long walk to get to that story. We were talking
about Sizzler in the break Sam you brought up Sizzler
as a great old school restaurant that existed in the
nineteen ninety That really feels like it didn't exist. I mean,
maybe it was the eighties, but at least it went away,
and it feels like just the thing that existed right
in that early time period that never anywhere else.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
I don't even remember any like news reports. It just
quietly slipped away from us.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Would you say it? Oh, did it sit? Did it
sizzle out? Yeah? Yeah, kind of sizz fizzled and sizzled out. Well,
you can relive your Sizzler memories with a four minute
and forty second Sizzler promotional commercial from nineteen ninety one,
which you could look up. But why when I'll just
play it for you. Listen.
Speaker 11 (21:34):
Quality in their personal life, in their business life, in
the goods they purchase, and in the food they eat.
They want good basic home cooking quality for it time,
and they want choices, variety, Oh, at a reasonable price.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
There's the ice cream bar, gorgeous shots four by three.
Speaker 10 (21:55):
Is there anybody who didn't want to just put their
mouth on the ice cream nozzle?
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Turn it on an officer with the fresh strawberry. This
promotional commercial, this is not how I remember it looking.
I remember it streamed strewn across those sub mini subtial tiles.
Speaker 11 (22:12):
Tom Loricans wanting back it.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Sizzler brings the choices. This is not a joke. Who
is singing that you, Sizzler? Is the choice?
Speaker 9 (22:23):
Is?
Speaker 6 (22:23):
That?
Speaker 11 (22:24):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Maybe bon Jovi? Oh it's John Jovie. I see you've.
Speaker 12 (22:30):
Been looking for.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Giving you the right to choose.
Speaker 12 (22:36):
We're offering much more.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
A lot of people in pantsuits at the buffet. That's
what we're looking at right now. Holding to traditions get
changing with the time. Choice didn't change that much.
Speaker 12 (22:53):
Selections, choices of directions, choices, the choice.
Speaker 7 (23:16):
Everybody.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
A caraffe of rose is being delivered to two unsuspected.
Is a man going to propose at the Sizzler? Sizzler,
get a little freedom in your life. I had a
saxophone soslo about to come up. We can't.
Speaker 10 (23:40):
I don't think we can afford to play it. That
was David Coverdale, wasn't it? It was an anthem?
Speaker 2 (23:45):
It was remarkable. I have we have so many calls.
I gotta get to Can we get to one here
before I hand it over to you, mister honors take
all right, h we've got who do we have? We
had Robert? Did Robert drop off the line? Okay? We
got Gabriel from Montabello. You're on the Andy Reesemire Show.
Speaker 6 (24:03):
Good evening, Oh good eave me Andy and Mark Ronner.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
My choice of the fad of one choice would be
King Taco.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
King Taco.
Speaker 6 (24:14):
Okay, okay, yeah.
Speaker 10 (24:16):
Now Conway talks about King Taco constantly, but there's none
near here, so it's just torture. Tell us more about
King Taco because I've never been there.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
Listen, it's great, but they don't have a drive through either,
and uh, they don't ever give out like any they don't.
They don't advertise on commercials.
Speaker 10 (24:36):
Yea.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
The tacos advertise themselves. King Taco is amazing.
Speaker 10 (24:41):
All right, I'm dying here.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Yes, let's go. There's one in Glendale, it appears, so
that's not too far.
Speaker 5 (24:46):
Rn Echo Park, Echo Park.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
We'll go there. That's not far either. I love Echo Park.
And what is the thing? What is the thing to order?
Is it a taco? Well?
Speaker 4 (24:58):
I mean yeah, there's tamal, there's tacos. There's I mean
all kinds of different kinds of meat, Like if you're
into all that carnasata for sure out the store. That's
like pork, uh, seasoned pork and uh, there's different kinds
I mean if you're into all that, like yeah, stuff
like brains and yeah they got that too.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
That sounds delicious. This weekend, did they have the protest? Yeah?
This the protest on Saturday I think was against Yeah.
Speaker 10 (25:26):
Did they have a no King's Taco on Saturday?
Speaker 2 (25:28):
That's what it was?
Speaker 6 (25:31):
Yeah, no or no Burger king out.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
But anyways, yeah, King Talk would be it.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
I love it King Taco. Great answer, Thank you so
much for calling. Gabriel Manta Beello And yes, sir, so
we have a caller who is in Santa Clarina. She
has good news for you guys. Since you guys are
all obsessed with Sizzlers at the moment, take your call. Okay,
Santa Clarita, you're on the line.
Speaker 5 (25:57):
I am calling to let you know there is this
are left and it's on lust Feeless in Outwater Village.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
No, do we have to do the show for the
next hour and fifteen minutes or can we all just
go to Sizzler I think we could do this show
and then we can go to sists. Well wait a minute,
you know how Gary and Shannon do the news and bruise?
What about buffet and and uh? I got to think
of a clever thing first. All you can eat butter
biscuits or something all you can eat news. Oh what
(26:27):
a nightmare? Well is it? Is it truly still a Sizzler.
That's like the actual place she's toasting everything. Oh my god,
my god, Well, wait a minute, do they play the
song Sizzler Families take Off? They have so many locations
still in business. Yeah, in Orange County there was a
few also. I am truly so dumb. We need to
(26:48):
go this is this is a huge development. There's one,
there's one in Van NY's. There's one like five minutes
away from what are we? Oh my goodness, this is
such a development. Is the one that's the freedom I've
been looking for? My goodness, Vaughan, thank you so much
for calling mister Rounnerd. I know we are way over
time here.
Speaker 10 (27:07):
I'm it's fine. If you hate Sizzler, you hate America.
I'm down with this.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
This is that's the protest that I want to see. Yeah,
anybody who doesn't like Sizzler, Wow, they do. They've got
looking looks delicious. I bet you know what I bet
these days, especially when it's like five hundred dollars to
go out to a meal for two people, I bet
you a Sizzler cheese toast, which is free with every meal.
By the way, cheese toast experience at Sizzler is probably
(27:32):
very very good and very economical. I'm just gonna say
they don't publish the costs of their things on the website,
which is a little concern. But in general, this looks
very good, and I bet you it's better than a
better than going to one of those Michelin star restaurants.
Speaker 10 (27:49):
Yeah, I gotta I got to pick out the right
warm up suit to wear.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Yes, that's right, all right, everybody hit it over to
Mark Round in the twenty four hour newsroom. If I
am six forty, Andy Reesemeyer here were everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app as well. Following some breaking news out of
I'll call it Highland Park, Montascito Heights, Mount Washington one
ten North at exit twenty seven, which is Avenue forty three,
(28:14):
A pursuit has just ended Los Angeles police department was
in pursuit of a stolen they are saying allegedly a
stolen vehicle. It was a van, a white van. The
pursuit is over now near Exit twenty seven. There After,
(28:36):
the driver stopped in that number one lane, that's the
lane closest to the center divider, and jumped out across
the freeway, hopped the median into oncoming traffic the other direction,
and was either subdued by police officers or met some
(28:57):
other kind of fate. All I can tell you right
now is that, at least from the helicopter perspectives that
we have here from Fox eleven and also KTLA, they're
staying fairly wide. The shot is fairly wide because it
appears that that suspect is laying down on the freeway
(29:19):
on his back. Typically, when a pursuit ends, you don't
always see a suspect laying on their back. If they
are giving up, they will lay on their front and
the police will then come around there. So I'm getting
details here still from the desk from KTLA. Ron D
(29:41):
do you have any other details about this man's condition
or what may have happened to him?
Speaker 10 (29:45):
I got nothing so far, of course, We have a
Channel nine on right now and they just have the
same wide overhead shot you were talking about.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Yeah, so it's interesting because KTLA, like I said, the desk,
they're going back and forth. LAPD's requesting canopy, which generally
that would mean that he's no longer with us here.
So interesting end there to a pursuit. Pretty crazy jumps
out of the car and then into across the median
(30:14):
into the freeway. That one ten freeway there through Mount
Washington heading north towards Pasadena towards northeast Los Angeles towards
Eagle Rock Highland Park. That freeway is very, very difficult.
It's very small. It was the first freeway built in
southern California, so the turn radius for those those turns
(30:35):
coming around the corners there designed for much slower travel,
And all that to be said is that it's very
can be a very dangerous and tight intersection, a rather
intersection tight area of the freeway when you're coming around
a corner or those on and off ramps. They're very short,
really tough end there, but looks like traffic is also stopped.
(30:59):
And I can't tell from this angle if we're looking
if he is down in the northbound or the southbound
lanes of traffic, but I think both both directions look
like they're stopped. I don't know if we have Pedro
mister Pedro Moreno on the on the line accessible there,
but it doesn't look good for people there who are
trying to travel through the one ten freeway from downtown
(31:20):
Los Angeles to northeast LA and vice versa. So it
looks like some caution tape is out, flares are being deployed.
Traffic stopped there by the Los Angeles Police Department looks
like who's responding there. I'm sure CCHP will be involved
as well if they have to close this freeway quick pursuit.
(31:41):
Like we said, we'll give you updates when we get him.
Here's a hard turn. Let's go back to Let's go
back to Sizzler.
Speaker 10 (31:49):
Can't go wrong.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
I'm just learning here that there are many hundreds of.
Speaker 10 (31:57):
Sizzlers that are still open, and apparently the majority of
them are in California. Google says sixty eight percent of
the remaining ones are here in California.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Hey, we're doing something right.
Speaker 10 (32:06):
Seriously, can't fault that we got bumped down to the
fifth largest economy, but we got the most Sizzlers.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
We got the most Sizzlers, fifth largest economy, most Sissler.
Sizzler might as well be in the Witness Protection program.
Like in terms of a restaurant existing with that many
locations that no one even are. Many people don't know.
I don't know, did any of you know? No, they
don't advertise.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
They don't have any TV, no radio spots, no print ads.
Right like you just it's like word of mouth and
you just have to drive by it.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
The one we used to go to all the time
when I was growing up in Indianapolis. That closed probably
nineteen ninety eight somewhere thereabouts, and it has been basically
abandoned ever since. So that was my frame of reference.
You don't hear a lot about them.
Speaker 10 (32:47):
I'm fascinated with all you can eat places.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
By the way, Oh yeah, like because you're not a
big eater, Well no, I can eat exactly one plate
of food actually, But people who go.
Speaker 10 (32:57):
To these things and just go to town. I loved
watch that, and I can't really explain why. It's the
same reason I like the hot Dog Gluttony contest. And
by the way, they don't call them gluttony contests anymore.
There's some negative connotation with gluttony, and years ago they
changed all you can eat to all you care to eat,
Like that makes a big difference. The semantics of that. Indeed, Yeah,
(33:21):
all you can eat, that's fascinating. All you care to eat?
It is very interesting the specifics. All right, we are
out of time here. It's KFI AM six forty live

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
