Speaker 1 (00:08):
Americans would run out of banana.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Americans eat more bananas than any other fresh fruit per capita.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Were you guys to wear of that?
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Do we eat more bananas than any other fruit? Excited?
Sort of makes sense.
Speaker 4 (00:20):
I guess I thought it was apples.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
That's what I was gonna say.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Really, well, you're both wrong. Who eat apples in the morning?
Nobody I have and you have? That just seems like
a snack that everyone has. Though, when's the last time
you had an apple? Stefan, when's the last time you
had an apple?
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Oh? Uh?
Speaker 5 (00:43):
Probably like in May?
Speaker 6 (00:49):
He just ate three cups of noodles backed back then.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
No way really and he.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Did like an.
Speaker 6 (00:57):
Apple flavored a march on couple noodles, taster test noodles.
Speaker 2 (01:01):

cup noodles.
Speaker 7 (01:05):
Yeah, you had three of those. Well today I had
to yet, Uh the ones from in here? Yeah, aren't
those smaller than the like the regular ones?
Speaker 8 (01:14):
No?
Speaker 5 (01:14):
I think that the regular size. But she means she's
trying to make me look worse. But I only had
two and a half.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
I don't need.
Speaker 6 (01:25):
You had three cups of the.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Okay, okay, hold on, hold on, what's going on in there?
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Fake news?
Speaker 4 (01:34):
It's not fake news.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
I had I had.
Speaker 5 (01:40):
A march I had a march on on my own.
And then it's the same. It's like a yeah, I've
been on that game for a while.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
So I had that, and then she smelled it and
she's like, oh, I'm gonna have one. So she had
one and then she's like, oh, I like the noodles,
I don't like the broth. I'm like, all right, hand
it over. So she saved the broth for me, and
then I had another one, and then I added it
to my broth. So that's like technically two and a half.
Wait a minute, I'm I'm dazed.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
So she ate all the noodles out of it, and
you took the broth and drank it?
Speaker 5 (02:17):
Well no, I mean well I put it in my
second one. So if she was eating cereal, would you
take the milk?
Speaker 1 (02:26):
I just took a chance. I was like, she doesn't
get around, so.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Listen, just around.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Oh that's great.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
How do you know you know when she's out of work.
We actually talked about it. Oh, real questionnaire before I took.
Speaker 6 (02:43):
The b I said, I like the noodles. I just
don't like the broth. It's got too much sodium in it.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Well do you get around?
Speaker 6 (02:50):
He said, oh, I'll take it, and I said, he goes,
and then we had the discussion.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
I said, well, I'm just picking the noodles out.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
With a fork.
Speaker 6 (02:57):
I'm not even really touching the broth, and he goes,
I trust you, you don't get around.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Wow, what a compliment and an insult.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
I guess yes, yeah, kind of. But belly, without telling
us how old you are? What's your history with with
cup noodles? And I'm gonna go with like driver's license,
I'm gonna go with cup of noodles, what's your history?
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Hell have you had them?
Speaker 6 (03:19):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Well, over four decades.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
Maybe easily, But I like top ram and normally I
normally would not eat.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Whatever whatever the brand name is. But noodles with that
that really salty liquid. Yeah, you've had it for over
forty years probably okay, with husband's boyfriends, you know, friends you.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Went to college with, whatever.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Yeah, this has got to be the first time somebody
offered to drink your juice.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
It's absolutely the first time.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
I'll it's gotta be good for her, and it might
be the last time.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
Yeah, it's probably the last now.
Speaker 6 (03:56):
I I actually if I offered it to him tomorrow, yeah,
would take it, because.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
You know why, because you don't.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
Get around, Because I do not get around.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
That's crazy.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Man.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
I did walk by the studio and I heard a
big bang and I looked in and it was it
was a shoelace flying through the room. Somebody had too
much salt and broke a shoelace. That was foo foos.
They popped the lace. Yeah, he was man, oh man,
all right, we got to go back to this because
we always do with stuff foosh. How many of those
can you knock off? The couple noodles? Can you go six?
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (04:36):
I could probably have at least another at least another
four or five.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Those are good. I'd have to look into it.
Speaker 7 (04:42):
But I actually have heard recently that they've cut down
dramatically on the salt that they put in it.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Oh is that right? Yeah? Yeah, but it's just now
it's just a pound essentially.
Speaker 6 (04:52):
It did seem Yeah, my noodles were less salty this time. Man.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Yeah, but that, man, that that is a really good
treat when you eat those really hot noodles initially with
that really salty liquid.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
And because it's getting colder, I'm like, oh, that just
sounds so good, like a hot thing of you.
Speaker 6 (05:08):
Know, he didn't comparison yesterday, wasn't it yesterday he compared
the cup noodles to the march on and which one had.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
The better broth?
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Yep?
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Where is he getting colder? What does that mean? Getting cooler?
Is it's a it's a cool weather food.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (05:23):
I see right, yeah, but he's going to ninety five.
You might have to cut back on cup noodles this week.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Oh yeah, I know.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
It's we're going back to the heat, back to the
heat ice cream. But I'm surprised that Bellio is into
the cup noodles.
Speaker 6 (05:35):
That doesn't rightly I'm not either, But he just made
those noodles sound so good. Do you know they have
over eleven hundred grams of sodium?
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Well no, no, I mean milligrams? Whoa, no kidding?
Speaker 6 (05:50):
Really there's salting that Yeah, but I didn't realize.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Eleven and that's eleven teaspoones or tables Wow, that's a lot. Yeah,
but they are good man, those hot noodles. She went
really really hot, you know, piping hot.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
My favorite was she finished it and she goes, you know,
I heard that the actually that the noodles and this
cup of noodles is not that good for you much.
Why do you think it's so delicious? Why do you
think I would go to McDonald's, right?
Speaker 2 (06:14):
And why do you think it's nine cents for a
box of those things? There's nothing in it but those.
Speaker 7 (06:19):
They dropped the they dropped the salt amount from about
fifteen to twenty a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
All right, all right, and would you get him down
here in the commissary.
Speaker 7 (06:28):
It's in the Yeah, oh it's arawomp.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
I didn't know that. I know either.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
That's why I got shocked, and I got so stoked
about it.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
I just thought, oh, I didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (06:39):

Speaker 3 (07:16):
Well, I thought I was gonna eat them.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
And then I'm gonna give you say anything that would
have been fantastic. And then because I don't get around either,

Speaker 6 (08:23):
Did you go to your Was it thirtieth or which
was the last one.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
I didn't go to the twentieth because I was out
of town. I lived in Canada at the time, and
I don't think I went to the thirtieth either.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
No, I did.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
I went to the thirty or thirty fifth. I remember
going to one.

I don't if I can wrestle, though.
Speaker 6 (08:53):
Right well, you and Krozier and Steffush can practice and Chen.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
I remember there was about eight of us that I've
known since either third grade or seventh grade, and we
were wrestling wrestling. I had a wedding and I remember
I Nancy Nancy Tampkin saying to another wife. One of
the other wives said, Hey, how come these guys every
(09:19):
time there's a big wedding, they get drunk and they
tackle each other and wrestle, and Nancy goes because they
don't know how to communicate, and she nailed us right exactly.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Yeah, just a little you.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Know, cut off, cut off, lows right, We're just a
little we just shut down, right, Guys do that as
you get older, just shut down right, thing, Dawn. And
my dad did that right. I remember told the story
on the air, but I was at home one day.
I remember I was home, you know, sick or got
(09:53):
kicked out of school or whatever, and my mom, who
was going out to do errands, said to my dad, Hey,
can you take Jamie's lunch to him? He forgot his lunch,
which is my young second youngest brother. And my dad said, yeah, sure.
And I remember my dad getting in the car with
my dad and he gets in the car, he starts
(10:17):
up and I was, Dad, you don't know what school
you're going to do? And he says, I have no idea.
And he says, he says, where does your brother go?
And I said, he goes to Portola. It's in Tarzana.
I'll show you how to get there. He goes, oh,
I know, I know where it is he goes. He
goes where he goes, Jamie's in Portola already. I said, yeah, Dad,
(10:38):
this is second year. He only has one year left
and then he's going to go to Birmingham. He goes, Wow,
that's kind of nice, that's kind of.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Look at him. Get in.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
My dad couldn't tell you any of our teachers. He
could probably tell you one or two of my friends' names.
Oh that's not true. He would nail Robbie Fox, Matt McDaniel,
Mike Tennessee, Oh Crouch, you nail ouch. I think it'd
be a tough time with the other chaps. No, you
can help Joe, Joe, I have to say about five
(11:07):
or six friends. Yeah, that touchdown walk off home or
for my dad. But man, you put my dad into
school into a car and say, hey, can you, you know,
take Corey's lunch to him, He's like, what, I don't
know where.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
That kid goes to school. But he wasn't the only
dad like that.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
You know.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
I had a couple of friends whose dad had dad
said no idea where what they.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Did during the day.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
Yeah, I think that that was prevalent.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
But your dad did your dad, know you where you
went to school and your teachers.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
We lived right across the street from the school.
Speaker 6 (11:43):
He figured it out pretty quick, No, he did, because
my mother was the one that went to all the
you know, parent teacher conferences and yeah, so no he couldn't.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
I remember, I had to my My dad wasn't big
on you know, back to school night and stuff like that,
because I wasn't big on it either, because that's when
I always got the talking to him, why oh he
sits here and henoys that kid and that kid, and
that he always leaves his sweater here.
Speaker 9 (12:07):
And then.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
No, but I just found my way into predicaments, my prediction.
Speaker 10 (12:16):
Yeah's look where I am.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
But I remember, I remember in fifth grade, either fourth
or fifth grade, we're gonna have somebody come into the
auditorium to teach all the boys. The girls didn't have
to go. All the boys had to go. And it
was going to be the Birds and the Bees conversation
in fourth grade in the auditorium, And I remember my
(12:40):
mom didn't want to go for obvious reasons, right, And
I dragged my dad to this thing, and man was
he embarrassed sitting there talking to you fourth graders. About
their wieners O the worst, and then just that he
sits there, he's got his head eyes like, oh man,
(13:02):
what am I doing? So my dad on the way
home had to talk with me. He said, hey, he says, uh,
do you get anybody pregnant? I've made a couple of bucks.
I'll help you out. I was a wrap, Wow, that's it. No,
that would have been great though. Yeah, I made a
(13:23):
couple of bucks. Do whatever you want to take care
of that.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
But I did you guys have that?
Speaker 2 (13:28):
In school? We went to the auditorium and they had
They showed a film scrip.
Speaker 11 (13:32):
And not in the auditorium, no talking about them in
the classroom, the whole school all well, there were there
were five fourth grade classes and they all went to
the auditorium at night.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Remember how I remember how sort of weird but cool
it was to go to school at night.
Speaker 6 (13:50):
It was so weird. Yeah, I always remembered it like
this is so odd.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Yeah, like the back to school pta all that stuff,
and it was kind of a cool vibe. You know,
the moon's out, you see the playground that you can't
see anything. You know, at night, all the lights are on.
There's a cool vibe about it.
Speaker 6 (14:07):
Well, you'd see like whenever I saw teachers like out
of their element or like in different clothes and stuff.
Was so I remember seeing a teacher in the teachers
lands smoking and it was like it was like scandalous.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Smoking. I believe it was smoking.
Speaker 6 (14:23):
It's because they weren't real to you, because there was
this authoritative figure.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
And so yeah, no, I know it was. That was
wild man.
Speaker 10 (14:31):
You know when I went because I went to l
a u.
Speaker 7 (14:33):
S d.
Speaker 8 (14:34):
And like the beginning of my elementary school career, and
it was back at a time where the teachers had
their students over to their homes and we would do
stuff with them.
Speaker 10 (14:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (14:49):
What I remember one time and I totally remember her name,
missus Fostry. We went over to her place. We had
we played tennis, and then we had like a pollock dinner.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Was just her.
Speaker 8 (15:02):
It was a couple of other teachers also, but I
mean we went to their home and we moved away.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Yeah, lots of tennis, lots of tennis, lots of tennis.
That's weird, man. I don't think I ever was invited
to any of my teachers' homes. Yeah, another time, they
can you imagine that nowadays, Angel, like you know, like
you know, your seven year old is invited your teacher's
house with a couple of other friends, you'd be.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Like, what, Nope, the hell out of here.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Yeah, that's how far did they live from you?
Speaker 10 (15:33):
They lived pretty close to the school, so not not
too far away.
Speaker 8 (15:37):
I think one of them lived like over in the
Los Felis area, and we were, you know, over in
Hollywood a little more, but just east of the school.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Did you have paper drives when you were a kid?
Speaker 10 (15:51):
Paper drives?
Speaker 2 (15:52):
You liked all the newspaper and you know, stack them
up out around the school and whoever got the most
paper got like pizza for the day or something.
Speaker 10 (15:58):
Oh, I think like an an like sixth grade.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Yeah, yeah, big don we had a big, huge, Yet
we'd love that. I'd love that paper drive you because
we used to go collect them off on early Sunday morning.
We just go around the neighborhood and collect their Sunday Times. Right,
they won't miss that, yeah right they We never got
caught doing it, but we just collected you know, people's newspapers. Look,
we got one hundred of Sunday's Times, Like, where'd you
(16:23):
get that? We just bought them, or you go to
the machine and put a quarter in and take ten them.
Speaker 12 (16:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (16:27):
Yeah, I used to do that as a kid.
Speaker 8 (16:30):
I you know, put a coin in and then take
all the papers and then go sell the papers.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Oh that's great.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
See you're an entrepreneur, but you also remember, like the
kids today won't remember this, but you remember always checking
the coin slot and the payphone.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, like if there's ten of mint
a row bing dang ding ding ding, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
You found a quarter, Like what Yeah, it's like a
slot machine.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
That's great.
Speaker 9 (16:57):
You're listening to Tim Conway too, and you're on demand
from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
It's Cone of Show. Mark Thompson is here. Yeah, yeah,
I was. I didn't know that we have I wouldn't
say mutual friend. We've had Jake Joe Hanson on the
show years and years ago, and he's one of my
favorite comics.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
But I didn't know you were friends with him.
Speaker 12 (17:17):
Oh yeah for many years. I go back to the
Bay Area. That's where he first met in San Francisco.
One of the funniest guys ever, I agree completely. I
think he's literally one of the funniest minds of his generation.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
He has a run about yard sales that I still
repeat on the show. He said he was having a
yard sale and he put all this stuff out in
the morning, and strangers come by and one guy picks
up a lamb and says, hey, this lamp doesn't have
a shade, and Jake says, yeah, well, it's a seventy
(17:47):
dollars lamp, and the reason it's a quarter is because
it doesn't.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Have a shade, because.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
We want twenty five cents forty because well, it doesn't
have a shade. And he says, yeah, well, I'm explaining
to you that I pay seventy, but I'm willing to
give it to you for twenty five cents because the
shade is missing. And he says, well, I got to
then buy a shade for it. And Jake said, at
that point, my instincts were to tie him up and
burn him to a steak right there at the garage sale.
(18:17):
But I didn't do that because I know in my
history with garage sales, if you start burning neighbors at
a steak, it cuts down on foot trip.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
I mean, I don't do it justice.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
I mean it's something like it does a whole run.
Speaker 12 (18:32):
He does a whole run on the on the garage
sale and how you essentially have marked down everything to
be purchased with whatever, and then people are still sitting
there like it's a negotiation. And I think he does
the thing about a leather jacket some guy like he said,
the leather jacket's five dollars.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Okay.
Speaker 12 (18:48):
The guy goes, I'll give you a dollar for it,
you know, And it was one of those I'd rather
set this fire, set this on fire right now than
sell it to you for a dollar.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
That's I mean five dollars.
Speaker 12 (18:59):
It's true, though, I've got all this stuff that I'm
looking to get rid of.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
It's hard just organizing it.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
I'm in the middle of doing that myself, and I
think everybody is because I took stuff to the good
Will the other day, and the Goodwill when I was younger,
I used to be so happy that you came by.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
It's like, oh my god, you know it will take
this for sure? Are you sure you want to get
rid of this? I love that now, you know.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
I was told by this one in Burbank that they
open it they start collecting donations at one thirty, so
I showed up at one twenty five and sat in
the car for two minutes.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
So it's one twenty seven and I said.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
I'm hey, can I donate some stuff. He's like, we
don't open a one thirty and I said, well, rules
and rules. By the time I walked back to my car,
it's going to be one twenty eight. By the time
I get this stuff out of the car, it might
be one twenty nine. I might just be at the
finishing line here at one thirty. So I bring this
stuff and I said, where can I put it? He goes,
(20:00):
what is it? I go, wait, wait, what is it? It's
free stuff. It's my free stuff I'm giving to you.
I said, it's a TV set. He says, does the
TV set work? I said, well, it was in our
kitchen this morning and I watched the news on it,
so yes, the little TV set does work. We just
don't have the room forty where we bought a air fryer,
and so he took that. And then I had two
(20:22):
scooters that my daughter used all the time. And he goes,
looks like the you know, one of the wheels is
rusting on I'm like, buddy, look, this is not a negotiation.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Either you want it or you don't.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
I'm gonna throw this stuff out if you don't want it, right,
But man, they make you feel like like like they're
doing you a favor.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Well, they make you feel as though.
Speaker 12 (20:39):
And I had the same thing happen where they talk
about the vintage of your TV and it doesn't have
a firestick thing or whatever. It's like, wow, seriously, it's
a seventy inch screen. It's somebody that can make somebody
very happy, right, And there are other things like that.
They make you feel a little bit like everything has
to be in pristine condition, like that was the thing
with your daughter's scooter. Well there's a little rust on it. Yeah, well,
(21:00):
you know it is huge. That's why I'm here with it.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
You know.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
I called the Salvation Army and we had a bunch
of furniture to give away, and one of them was
a big kitchen table. It was a nice wooden table
that maybe we spent I don't know, four or five
hundred bucks we bought it. We had it for ten
years and we ate breakfast, lunch, and dinner on that table.
And I had breakfast on that table before they came
(21:23):
that afternoon.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
I pulled outside and he came to pick it up.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
And the guy says, you know, there's a big chip
out of one of those legs. And I said, well,
I've eaten breakfast, luncheon, dinner on that table for ten years.
I never even noticed it. And I had breakfast on
that table this morning, and now it's not good enough.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
For your crow. Huh.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
And he says, well, we can take everything, but this, this,
and this, And I said, buddy, look, with all due respect,
this is an all or nothing.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
Oh you so oh you really drove a tough bargain.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
I said, we're not gonna I'm not going to dance.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Here, and you're not going to let him pick and shose.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
No, no, I said, either you want you take everything,
which co which includes like an old uh you know,
mini bike that still worked, You take everything where you
take nothing.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
And he's like, well, I can't take that table. I said,
all right, time to.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
What Wow, you stuck to the conway. Fred was all
or nothing.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
I don't you know what.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
It irritated the hell out of me that that that
table was good enough for my family for ten years.
I never even noticed that chip, and yet you know
it's got not good enough for you know, this crew.
But it wasn't the Salvation Army.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
It was what charity was.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
There's so many of them, the charity that.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Goes around and drops off the bags and says, hey,
we'll be in the neighborhood. I'm you know, put stuff
in the you know can bag can bags. Yeah, I
don't know what they have. They have another faction that
does furniture and house household goods. But man, they sent
it was like I was. It was like reading me
the Riot Act, Like now you should you know that sucks?
Speaker 3 (22:55):
That sucks.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
That sucks. How dare you that sucks?
Speaker 3 (22:58):
Right?
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Your whole house sucks. I'm surprised you're I.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Had to write you up for past this crap off
on us.
Speaker 9 (23:04):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
I wrote an open letter today, Dear dear King Taco. Today,
on my way back from Orange County the Anaheim Convention Center.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
To be exact, I needed King Taco.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Buzzed up the five Freeway connected to the seven to
ten fairly successfully and got off the freeway where the
seven ten crosses the sixty Freeway. I believe one of
the original locations of King Taco. I couldn't find parking,
so drove around the block and finally found a space
(24:00):
on the street. Locked the car, walked back to the restaurant,
and I was floored when I saw the line of
people maybe sixty five deep. So I walked back to
the car, depressed out.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Of my mind.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
By now it's four point thirty and time is becoming
an issue. I got to get back to work at
least by five point thirty. So I opened up my ways,
typed in King Taco, and they said there was another
location that I was familiar with, the one on Broadway.
(24:44):
Got in the car, drove to the one on Broadway,
maybe a six minute drive, maybe ten minute drive. Buzzed
into the parking lot, found a parking space right away,
unusual on a Friday afternoon at King Taco. I walked
(25:05):
to the front door, realized I left my wallet in
the car, went back, grabbed my wallet, opened the front door,
and again shocked by the twenty five people in line
in front of me. Looked at this time on my
(25:26):
phone and said, no way, there's no way I have
time to stand in this line. King Taco, you are
the in and out of Mexican food. My favorite place
for years, and the Salsa Verde is second to none. However,
(25:49):
you need more locations. You need a San Fernando Valley location,
like maybe Burbank, although maybe it's like living near a casino.
I don't know if I could survive living a half
mile away from a King Taco, great food, great service,
(26:13):
more locations, possible drive through and delivery. Maybe right, With
all of my love, your biggest fan in the valley, Conway,
I'll wait for your response in the mailroom. Tim Conway,
(26:38):
Junior care of KF five thirty four hundred West Olive,
Sweet five point fifty, Burbank, California, nine one five five.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
That's a wrap.
Speaker 10 (27:10):
Wait, I need a siesta after that.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Man, every time I go to these King Tacos, there's
nine hundred people in front of me.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
All right.
Speaker 7 (27:20):
They closed the one out by me, no way? Yeah,
it had been there for a long time.
Speaker 9 (27:24):
Is that right?
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Yeah? Man?
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Oh man, during COVID, just like a month or two ago,
I think, really, yeah, that's strange, man, that's really odd
because every time I go to one, there's one in
downtown LA. That's two blocks away from another King Taco,
and they're always jammed. There's always fifty people on line.
You ever go to their steps that King Taco.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
No.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
I was just gonna say, it's funny that you referenced
in and out because I had that experience. I was like, oh, Internet,
it sounds good, and then you see the line, You're like, Nope,
it's not worth it.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
It's just ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
I always jump in line, but I didn't have time today.
No time.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
I'm man, But I can't believe there's not a single
King Taco location in the San Fernando Valley. I don't
know if King Taco is noticed, but there's two million
people live here in the San Fernando Valley. Now, I'm
sure they're expanding, you know, and they're expanding in a
in a reasonable way that makes sense on a business level.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
But man, oh man, I I dream about that food.
It's weird. I'm like obsessed by it. Really. Yeah, I
have dreams, and you just do like straight like regular
what tacos?
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Yeah, like carneas sat in rice burrito and then carne rito, yeah,
and then carnios sat at tacos.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Here's my order.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Three tacos and two burritos with an extra large salsa
verde twenty four dollars and fifty cents, and I and man,
when I get there, there's nobody in line. It's it's
like a walk off Homer. God, when does that ever happen?
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Like once? Yeah, maybe you never experiment, You never know.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
No, no, no, no, Croziers, come on, come on knowing
each other for a long time, missing out.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
I'm a taketo's guy.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
Uh you know what?
Speaker 2 (29:09):
I did notice that they have chimmy chunga's and flouts.
So the last time I went there, I got flout this,
which is like a taketo. They're pretty good too, right,
But you're not changing up the meat. No, no, no, no,
I know, I'm not with the uh you know, bat's
tail and uh tongues and all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Or oxtail is oxtail? Oxtail?
Speaker 2 (29:29):
No, I mean, Emil Savager eats that crap, that oxtail.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
But good, I know.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
But but the ox's tail has spent the entire oxes
life about a half inch from the ox's a hole.
Speaker 7 (29:42):
Thank you, Carla, our newsletter just text me, she says,
wants to know if you know there's a King Taco
in Glendale.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Sure, I know exactly where on Broadway. Yeah, I know,
that's one I always go to. Yeh, it's right. It's
right near the in and out there on Broadway. The
one I used to have to go to all the
time was the one Pasadena. That was the closest one.
Then they opened one in Glendale. But when they opened
in Glendale, I had to give him a couple of
months because they had a new grill and it wasn't
seasoned yet, right, Yeah, they had to work that in.
(30:10):
But there's a beautiful one down near Dodger Stadium. It's
one of the originals as well.
Speaker 7 (30:15):
But man, I've been to the one in Pasadena and
the one that just closed in Ontario. I think it's Ontario.
Was supposed to Upland, but uh and on Mountain there.
And I would go to the one by me in Ontario,
like late on a Saturday night or something like that.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
Best.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Oh, that's some dangerous times. That is a dangerous time.
But they had there.
Speaker 7 (30:35):
I almost got the crap kicked out of me one time. Man,
you know, I went to the one real quick. I know,
we got to take break.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
I went to one on Pico and I was driving
back from Orangecam with my wife, my daughter, and I
went to the one on Pico right near the one
tent they had ten freeway and uh. And on the
way home from King Taco, Jason Sloka was talking on
the Fine go Yeah, I just went to the King Takos.
Which one you go to? I said, the one on Pico.
He goes, it's ten o'clock at night. You went through
with your wife and your daughter, ye, I said, yeah,
(31:02):
and he goes. You know that last night a guy
got murdered right at the payphone right near that King Taco.
Speaker 3 (31:07):
My nice.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Yeah, even if I knew that, I still would have buzzed.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
The Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Now
you can always hear us live on KFI AM six
forty four to seven pm Monday through Friday, and anytime
on demand on the iHeartRadio app
It's KMF.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
I am sixty and you're listening to the Conway Show
on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
Americans would run out of banana.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Americans eat more bananas than any other fresh fruit per capita.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Were you guys to wear of that?
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Do we eat more bananas than any other fruit? Excited?
Sort of makes sense.
Speaker 4 (00:20):
I guess I thought it was apples.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
That's what I was gonna say.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Really, well, you're both wrong. Who eat apples in the morning?
Nobody I have and you have? That just seems like
a snack that everyone has. Though, when's the last time
you had an apple? Stefan, when's the last time you
had an apple?
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Oh? Uh?
Speaker 5 (00:43):
Probably like in May?
Speaker 6 (00:49):
He just ate three cups of noodles backed back then.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
No way really and he.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Did like an.
Speaker 6 (00:57):
Apple flavored a march on couple noodles, taster test noodles.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Well you had the full cup of noodles, cup noodles, yeah,
cup noodles.
Speaker 7 (01:05):
Yeah, you had three of those. Well today I had
to yet, Uh the ones from in here? Yeah, aren't
those smaller than the like the regular ones?
Speaker 8 (01:14):
No?
Speaker 5 (01:14):
I think that the regular size. But she means she's
trying to make me look worse. But I only had
two and a half.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
I don't need.
Speaker 6 (01:25):
You had three cups of the.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Okay, okay, hold on, hold on, what's going on in there?
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Fake news?
Speaker 4 (01:34):
It's not fake news.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
I had I had.
Speaker 5 (01:40):
A march I had a march on on my own.
And then it's the same. It's like a yeah, I've
been on that game for a while.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
So I had that, and then she smelled it and
she's like, oh, I'm gonna have one. So she had
one and then she's like, oh, I like the noodles,
I don't like the broth. I'm like, all right, hand
it over. So she saved the broth for me, and
then I had another one, and then I added it
to my broth. So that's like technically two and a half.
Wait a minute, I'm I'm dazed.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
So she ate all the noodles out of it, and
you took the broth and drank it?
Speaker 5 (02:17):
Well no, I mean well I put it in my
second one. So if she was eating cereal, would you
take the milk?
Speaker 1 (02:26):
I just took a chance. I was like, she doesn't
get around, so.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Listen, just around.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Oh that's great.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
How do you know you know when she's out of work.
We actually talked about it. Oh, real questionnaire before I took.
Speaker 6 (02:43):
The b I said, I like the noodles. I just
don't like the broth. It's got too much sodium in it.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Well do you get around?
Speaker 6 (02:50):
He said, oh, I'll take it, and I said, he goes,
and then we had the discussion.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
I said, well, I'm just picking the noodles out.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
With a fork.
Speaker 6 (02:57):
I'm not even really touching the broth, and he goes,
I trust you, you don't get around.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Wow, what a compliment and an insult.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
I guess yes, yeah, kind of. But belly, without telling
us how old you are? What's your history with with
cup noodles? And I'm gonna go with like driver's license,
I'm gonna go with cup of noodles, what's your history?
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Hell have you had them?
Speaker 6 (03:19):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Well, over four decades.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
Maybe easily, But I like top ram and normally I
normally would not eat.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Whatever whatever the brand name is. But noodles with that
that really salty liquid. Yeah, you've had it for over
forty years probably okay, with husband's boyfriends, you know, friends you.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Went to college with, whatever.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Yeah, this has got to be the first time somebody
offered to drink your juice.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
It's absolutely the first time.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
I'll it's gotta be good for her, and it might
be the last time.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
Yeah, it's probably the last now.
Speaker 6 (03:56):
I I actually if I offered it to him tomorrow, yeah,
would take it, because.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
You know why, because you don't.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
Get around, Because I do not get around.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
That's crazy.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Man.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
I did walk by the studio and I heard a
big bang and I looked in and it was it
was a shoelace flying through the room. Somebody had too
much salt and broke a shoelace. That was foo foos.
They popped the lace. Yeah, he was man, oh man,
all right, we got to go back to this because
we always do with stuff foosh. How many of those
can you knock off? The couple noodles? Can you go six?
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (04:36):
I could probably have at least another at least another
four or five.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Those are good. I'd have to look into it.
Speaker 7 (04:42):
But I actually have heard recently that they've cut down
dramatically on the salt that they put in it.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Oh is that right? Yeah? Yeah, but it's just now
it's just a pound essentially.
Speaker 6 (04:52):
It did seem Yeah, my noodles were less salty this time. Man.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Yeah, but that, man, that that is a really good
treat when you eat those really hot noodles initially with
that really salty liquid.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
And because it's getting colder, I'm like, oh, that just
sounds so good, like a hot thing of you.
Speaker 6 (05:08):
Know, he didn't comparison yesterday, wasn't it yesterday he compared
the cup noodles to the march on and which one had.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
The better broth?
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Yep?
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Where is he getting colder? What does that mean? Getting cooler?
Is it's a it's a cool weather food.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (05:23):
I see right, yeah, but he's going to ninety five.
You might have to cut back on cup noodles this week.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Oh yeah, I know.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
It's we're going back to the heat, back to the
heat ice cream. But I'm surprised that Bellio is into
the cup noodles.
Speaker 6 (05:35):
That doesn't rightly I'm not either, But he just made
those noodles sound so good. Do you know they have
over eleven hundred grams of sodium?
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Well no, no, I mean milligrams? Whoa, no kidding?
Speaker 6 (05:50):
Really there's salting that Yeah, but I didn't realize.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Eleven and that's eleven teaspoones or tables Wow, that's a lot. Yeah,
but they are good man, those hot noodles. She went
really really hot, you know, piping hot.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
My favorite was she finished it and she goes, you know,
I heard that the actually that the noodles and this
cup of noodles is not that good for you much.
Why do you think it's so delicious? Why do you
think I would go to McDonald's, right?
Speaker 2 (06:14):
And why do you think it's nine cents for a
box of those things? There's nothing in it but those.
Speaker 7 (06:19):
They dropped the they dropped the salt amount from about
fifteen to twenty a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
All right, all right, and would you get him down
here in the commissary.
Speaker 7 (06:28):
It's in the Yeah, oh it's arawomp.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
I didn't know that. I know either.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
That's why I got shocked, and I got so stoked
about it.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
I just thought, oh, I didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
I'll take one then, yeah, great, I got chicken or chicken.
Michelle's hearing this, and she's gonna be like, oh boy,
all right, So there's a marsh On and then the
cup noodles, both kinds in there.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
What's better? I prefer march On?
Speaker 2 (06:57):
All right, I'm gonna go with that. Yeah, all right,
I'm gonna I'm gonna.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Bust this open. I gotta eat these things. I know
it's not good through it.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
No, I'm gonna poort the boiling water in the breakroom.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Yeah, I'm gonna do the boiling water.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Yep. And uh.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
And then I'm telling you how to make cup noodles.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Well, I thought I was gonna eat them.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
And then I'm gonna give you say anything that would
have been fantastic. And then because I don't get around either,
you're gonna eat my liquid?
Speaker 1 (07:25):

I remember I was home, you know, sick or got
(09:53):
kicked out of school or whatever, and my mom, who
was going out to do errands, said to my dad, Hey,
can you take Jamie's lunch to him? He forgot his lunch,
which is my young second youngest brother. And my dad said, yeah, sure.
And I remember my dad getting in the car with
my dad and he gets in the car, he starts
(10:17):
up and I was, Dad, you don't know what school
you're going to do? And he says, I have no idea.
And he says, he says, where does your brother go?
And I said, he goes to Portola. It's in Tarzana.
I'll show you how to get there. He goes, oh,
I know, I know where it is he goes. He
goes where he goes, Jamie's in Portola already. I said, yeah, Dad,
(10:38):
this is second year. He only has one year left
and then he's going to go to Birmingham. He goes, Wow,
that's kind of nice, that's kind of.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Look at him. Get in.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
My dad couldn't tell you any of our teachers. He
could probably tell you one or two of my friends' names.
Oh that's not true. He would nail Robbie Fox, Matt McDaniel,
Mike Tennessee, Oh Crouch, you nail ouch. I think it'd
be a tough time with the other chaps. No, you
can help Joe, Joe, I have to say about five
(11:07):
or six friends. Yeah, that touchdown walk off home or
for my dad. But man, you put my dad into
school into a car and say, hey, can you, you know,
take Corey's lunch to him, He's like, what, I don't
know where.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
That kid goes to school. But he wasn't the only
dad like that.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
You know.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
I had a couple of friends whose dad had dad
said no idea where what they.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Did during the day.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
Yeah, I think that that was prevalent.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
But your dad did your dad, know you where you
went to school and your teachers.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
We lived right across the street from the school.
Speaker 6 (11:43):
He figured it out pretty quick, No, he did, because
my mother was the one that went to all the
you know, parent teacher conferences and yeah, so no he couldn't.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
I remember, I had to my My dad wasn't big
on you know, back to school night and stuff like that,
because I wasn't big on it either, because that's when
I always got the talking to him, why oh he
sits here and henoys that kid and that kid, and
that he always leaves his sweater here.
Speaker 9 (12:07):
And then.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
No, but I just found my way into predicaments, my prediction.
Speaker 10 (12:16):
Yeah's look where I am.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
But I remember, I remember in fifth grade, either fourth
or fifth grade, we're gonna have somebody come into the
auditorium to teach all the boys. The girls didn't have
to go. All the boys had to go. And it
was going to be the Birds and the Bees conversation
in fourth grade in the auditorium, And I remember my
(12:40):
mom didn't want to go for obvious reasons, right, And
I dragged my dad to this thing, and man was
he embarrassed sitting there talking to you fourth graders. About
their wieners O the worst, and then just that he
sits there, he's got his head eyes like, oh man,
(13:02):
what am I doing? So my dad on the way
home had to talk with me. He said, hey, he says, uh,
do you get anybody pregnant? I've made a couple of bucks.
I'll help you out. I was a wrap, Wow, that's it. No,
that would have been great though. Yeah, I made a
(13:23):
couple of bucks. Do whatever you want to take care
of that.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
But I did you guys have that?
Speaker 2 (13:28):
In school? We went to the auditorium and they had
They showed a film scrip.
Speaker 11 (13:32):
And not in the auditorium, no talking about them in
the classroom, the whole school all well, there were there
were five fourth grade classes and they all went to
the auditorium at night.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Remember how I remember how sort of weird but cool
it was to go to school at night.
Speaker 6 (13:50):
It was so weird. Yeah, I always remembered it like
this is so odd.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Yeah, like the back to school pta all that stuff,
and it was kind of a cool vibe. You know,
the moon's out, you see the playground that you can't
see anything. You know, at night, all the lights are on.
There's a cool vibe about it.
Speaker 6 (14:07):
Well, you'd see like whenever I saw teachers like out
of their element or like in different clothes and stuff.
Was so I remember seeing a teacher in the teachers
lands smoking and it was like it was like scandalous.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Smoking. I believe it was smoking.
Speaker 6 (14:23):
It's because they weren't real to you, because there was
this authoritative figure.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
And so yeah, no, I know it was. That was
wild man.
Speaker 10 (14:31):
You know when I went because I went to l
a u.
Speaker 7 (14:33):
S d.
Speaker 8 (14:34):
And like the beginning of my elementary school career, and
it was back at a time where the teachers had
their students over to their homes and we would do
stuff with them.
Speaker 10 (14:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (14:49):
What I remember one time and I totally remember her name,
missus Fostry. We went over to her place. We had
we played tennis, and then we had like a pollock dinner.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Was just her.
Speaker 8 (15:02):
It was a couple of other teachers also, but I
mean we went to their home and we moved away.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Yeah, lots of tennis, lots of tennis, lots of tennis.
That's weird, man. I don't think I ever was invited
to any of my teachers' homes. Yeah, another time, they
can you imagine that nowadays, Angel, like you know, like
you know, your seven year old is invited your teacher's
house with a couple of other friends, you'd be.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Like, what, Nope, the hell out of here.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Yeah, that's how far did they live from you?
Speaker 10 (15:33):
They lived pretty close to the school, so not not
too far away.
Speaker 8 (15:37):
I think one of them lived like over in the
Los Felis area, and we were, you know, over in
Hollywood a little more, but just east of the school.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Did you have paper drives when you were a kid?
Speaker 10 (15:51):
Paper drives?
Speaker 2 (15:52):
You liked all the newspaper and you know, stack them
up out around the school and whoever got the most
paper got like pizza for the day or something.
Speaker 10 (15:58):
Oh, I think like an an like sixth grade.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Yeah, yeah, big don we had a big, huge, Yet
we'd love that. I'd love that paper drive you because
we used to go collect them off on early Sunday morning.
We just go around the neighborhood and collect their Sunday Times. Right,
they won't miss that, yeah right they We never got
caught doing it, but we just collected you know, people's newspapers. Look,
we got one hundred of Sunday's Times, Like, where'd you
(16:23):
get that? We just bought them, or you go to
the machine and put a quarter in and take ten them.
Speaker 12 (16:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (16:27):
Yeah, I used to do that as a kid.
Speaker 8 (16:30):
I you know, put a coin in and then take
all the papers and then go sell the papers.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Oh that's great.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
See you're an entrepreneur, but you also remember, like the
kids today won't remember this, but you remember always checking
the coin slot and the payphone.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, like if there's ten of mint
a row bing dang ding ding ding, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
You found a quarter, Like what Yeah, it's like a
slot machine.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
That's great.
Speaker 9 (16:57):
You're listening to Tim Conway too, and you're on demand
from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
It's Cone of Show. Mark Thompson is here. Yeah, yeah,
I was. I didn't know that we have I wouldn't
say mutual friend. We've had Jake Joe Hanson on the
show years and years ago, and he's one of my
favorite comics.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
But I didn't know you were friends with him.
Speaker 12 (17:17):
Oh yeah for many years. I go back to the
Bay Area. That's where he first met in San Francisco.
One of the funniest guys ever, I agree completely. I
think he's literally one of the funniest minds of his generation.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
He has a run about yard sales that I still
repeat on the show. He said he was having a
yard sale and he put all this stuff out in
the morning, and strangers come by and one guy picks
up a lamb and says, hey, this lamp doesn't have
a shade, and Jake says, yeah, well, it's a seventy
(17:47):
dollars lamp, and the reason it's a quarter is because
it doesn't.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Have a shade, because.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
We want twenty five cents forty because well, it doesn't
have a shade. And he says, yeah, well, I'm explaining
to you that I pay seventy, but I'm willing to
give it to you for twenty five cents because the
shade is missing. And he says, well, I got to
then buy a shade for it. And Jake said, at
that point, my instincts were to tie him up and
burn him to a steak right there at the garage sale.
(18:17):
But I didn't do that because I know in my
history with garage sales, if you start burning neighbors at
a steak, it cuts down on foot trip.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
I mean, I don't do it justice.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
I mean it's something like it does a whole run.
Speaker 12 (18:32):
He does a whole run on the on the garage
sale and how you essentially have marked down everything to
be purchased with whatever, and then people are still sitting
there like it's a negotiation. And I think he does
the thing about a leather jacket some guy like he said,
the leather jacket's five dollars.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Okay.
Speaker 12 (18:48):
The guy goes, I'll give you a dollar for it,
you know, And it was one of those I'd rather
set this fire, set this on fire right now than
sell it to you for a dollar.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
That's I mean five dollars.
Speaker 12 (18:59):
It's true, though, I've got all this stuff that I'm
looking to get rid of.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
It's hard just organizing it.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
I'm in the middle of doing that myself, and I
think everybody is because I took stuff to the good
Will the other day, and the Goodwill when I was younger,
I used to be so happy that you came by.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
It's like, oh my god, you know it will take
this for sure? Are you sure you want to get
rid of this? I love that now, you know.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
I was told by this one in Burbank that they
open it they start collecting donations at one thirty, so
I showed up at one twenty five and sat in
the car for two minutes.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
So it's one twenty seven and I said.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
I'm hey, can I donate some stuff. He's like, we
don't open a one thirty and I said, well, rules
and rules. By the time I walked back to my car,
it's going to be one twenty eight. By the time
I get this stuff out of the car, it might
be one twenty nine. I might just be at the
finishing line here at one thirty. So I bring this
stuff and I said, where can I put it? He goes,
(20:00):
what is it? I go, wait, wait, what is it? It's
free stuff. It's my free stuff I'm giving to you.
I said, it's a TV set. He says, does the
TV set work? I said, well, it was in our
kitchen this morning and I watched the news on it,
so yes, the little TV set does work. We just
don't have the room forty where we bought a air fryer,
and so he took that. And then I had two
(20:22):
scooters that my daughter used all the time. And he goes,
looks like the you know, one of the wheels is
rusting on I'm like, buddy, look, this is not a negotiation.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Either you want it or you don't.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
I'm gonna throw this stuff out if you don't want it, right,
But man, they make you feel like like like they're
doing you a favor.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Well, they make you feel as though.
Speaker 12 (20:39):
And I had the same thing happen where they talk
about the vintage of your TV and it doesn't have
a firestick thing or whatever. It's like, wow, seriously, it's
a seventy inch screen. It's somebody that can make somebody
very happy, right, And there are other things like that.
They make you feel a little bit like everything has
to be in pristine condition, like that was the thing
with your daughter's scooter. Well there's a little rust on it. Yeah, well,
(21:00):
you know it is huge. That's why I'm here with it.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
You know.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
I called the Salvation Army and we had a bunch
of furniture to give away, and one of them was
a big kitchen table. It was a nice wooden table
that maybe we spent I don't know, four or five
hundred bucks we bought it. We had it for ten
years and we ate breakfast, lunch, and dinner on that table.
And I had breakfast on that table before they came
(21:23):
that afternoon.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
I pulled outside and he came to pick it up.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
And the guy says, you know, there's a big chip
out of one of those legs. And I said, well,
I've eaten breakfast, luncheon, dinner on that table for ten years.
I never even noticed it. And I had breakfast on
that table this morning, and now it's not good enough.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
For your crow. Huh.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
And he says, well, we can take everything, but this, this,
and this, And I said, buddy, look, with all due respect,
this is an all or nothing.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
Oh you so oh you really drove a tough bargain.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
I said, we're not gonna I'm not going to dance.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Here, and you're not going to let him pick and shose.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
No, no, I said, either you want you take everything,
which co which includes like an old uh you know,
mini bike that still worked, You take everything where you
take nothing.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
And he's like, well, I can't take that table. I said,
all right, time to.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
What Wow, you stuck to the conway. Fred was all
or nothing.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
I don't you know what.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
It irritated the hell out of me that that that
table was good enough for my family for ten years.
I never even noticed that chip, and yet you know
it's got not good enough for you know, this crew.
But it wasn't the Salvation Army.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
It was what charity was.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
There's so many of them, the charity that.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Goes around and drops off the bags and says, hey,
we'll be in the neighborhood. I'm you know, put stuff
in the you know can bag can bags. Yeah, I
don't know what they have. They have another faction that
does furniture and house household goods. But man, they sent
it was like I was. It was like reading me
the Riot Act, Like now you should you know that sucks?
Speaker 3 (22:55):
That sucks.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
That sucks. How dare you that sucks?
Speaker 3 (22:58):
Right?
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Your whole house sucks. I'm surprised you're I.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Had to write you up for past this crap off
on us.
Speaker 9 (23:04):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
I wrote an open letter today, Dear dear King Taco. Today,
on my way back from Orange County the Anaheim Convention Center.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
To be exact, I needed King Taco.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Buzzed up the five Freeway connected to the seven to
ten fairly successfully and got off the freeway where the
seven ten crosses the sixty Freeway. I believe one of
the original locations of King Taco. I couldn't find parking,
so drove around the block and finally found a space
(24:00):
on the street. Locked the car, walked back to the restaurant,
and I was floored when I saw the line of
people maybe sixty five deep. So I walked back to
the car, depressed out.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Of my mind.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
By now it's four point thirty and time is becoming
an issue. I got to get back to work at
least by five point thirty. So I opened up my ways,
typed in King Taco, and they said there was another
location that I was familiar with, the one on Broadway.
(24:44):
Got in the car, drove to the one on Broadway,
maybe a six minute drive, maybe ten minute drive. Buzzed
into the parking lot, found a parking space right away,
unusual on a Friday afternoon at King Taco. I walked
(25:05):
to the front door, realized I left my wallet in
the car, went back, grabbed my wallet, opened the front door,
and again shocked by the twenty five people in line
in front of me. Looked at this time on my
(25:26):
phone and said, no way, there's no way I have
time to stand in this line. King Taco, you are
the in and out of Mexican food. My favorite place
for years, and the Salsa Verde is second to none. However,
(25:49):
you need more locations. You need a San Fernando Valley location,
like maybe Burbank, although maybe it's like living near a casino.
I don't know if I could survive living a half
mile away from a King Taco, great food, great service,
(26:13):
more locations, possible drive through and delivery. Maybe right, With
all of my love, your biggest fan in the valley, Conway,
I'll wait for your response in the mailroom. Tim Conway,
(26:38):
Junior care of KF five thirty four hundred West Olive,
Sweet five point fifty, Burbank, California, nine one five five.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
That's a wrap.
Speaker 10 (27:10):
Wait, I need a siesta after that.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Man, every time I go to these King Tacos, there's
nine hundred people in front of me.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
All right.
Speaker 7 (27:20):
They closed the one out by me, no way? Yeah,
it had been there for a long time.
Speaker 9 (27:24):
Is that right?
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Yeah? Man?
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Oh man, during COVID, just like a month or two ago,
I think, really, yeah, that's strange, man, that's really odd
because every time I go to one, there's one in
downtown LA. That's two blocks away from another King Taco,
and they're always jammed. There's always fifty people on line.
You ever go to their steps that King Taco.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
No.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
I was just gonna say, it's funny that you referenced
in and out because I had that experience. I was like, oh, Internet,
it sounds good, and then you see the line, You're like, Nope,
it's not worth it.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
It's just ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
I always jump in line, but I didn't have time today.
No time.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
I'm man, But I can't believe there's not a single
King Taco location in the San Fernando Valley. I don't
know if King Taco is noticed, but there's two million
people live here in the San Fernando Valley. Now, I'm
sure they're expanding, you know, and they're expanding in a
in a reasonable way that makes sense on a business level.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
But man, oh man, I I dream about that food.
It's weird. I'm like obsessed by it. Really. Yeah, I
have dreams, and you just do like straight like regular
what tacos?
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Yeah, like carneas sat in rice burrito and then carne rito, yeah,
and then carnios sat at tacos.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Here's my order.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Three tacos and two burritos with an extra large salsa
verde twenty four dollars and fifty cents, and I and man,
when I get there, there's nobody in line. It's it's
like a walk off Homer. God, when does that ever happen?
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Like once? Yeah, maybe you never experiment, You never know.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
No, no, no, no, Croziers, come on, come on knowing
each other for a long time, missing out.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
I'm a taketo's guy.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
Uh you know what?
Speaker 2 (29:09):
I did notice that they have chimmy chunga's and flouts.
So the last time I went there, I got flout this,
which is like a taketo. They're pretty good too, right,
But you're not changing up the meat. No, no, no, no,
I know, I'm not with the uh you know, bat's
tail and uh tongues and all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Or oxtail is oxtail? Oxtail?
Speaker 2 (29:29):
No, I mean, Emil Savager eats that crap, that oxtail.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
But good, I know.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
But but the ox's tail has spent the entire oxes
life about a half inch from the ox's a hole.
Speaker 7 (29:42):
Thank you, Carla, our newsletter just text me, she says,
wants to know if you know there's a King Taco
in Glendale.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Sure, I know exactly where on Broadway. Yeah, I know,
that's one I always go to. Yeh, it's right. It's
right near the in and out there on Broadway. The
one I used to have to go to all the
time was the one Pasadena. That was the closest one.
Then they opened one in Glendale. But when they opened
in Glendale, I had to give him a couple of
months because they had a new grill and it wasn't
seasoned yet, right, Yeah, they had to work that in.
(30:10):
But there's a beautiful one down near Dodger Stadium. It's
one of the originals as well.
Speaker 7 (30:15):
But man, I've been to the one in Pasadena and
the one that just closed in Ontario. I think it's Ontario.
Was supposed to Upland, but uh and on Mountain there.
And I would go to the one by me in Ontario,
like late on a Saturday night or something like that.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
Best.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Oh, that's some dangerous times. That is a dangerous time.
But they had there.
Speaker 7 (30:35):
I almost got the crap kicked out of me one time. Man,
you know, I went to the one real quick. I know,
we got to take break.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
I went to one on Pico and I was driving
back from Orangecam with my wife, my daughter, and I
went to the one on Pico right near the one
tent they had ten freeway and uh. And on the
way home from King Taco, Jason Sloka was talking on
the Fine go Yeah, I just went to the King Takos.
Which one you go to? I said, the one on Pico.
He goes, it's ten o'clock at night. You went through
with your wife and your daughter, ye, I said, yeah,
(31:02):
and he goes. You know that last night a guy
got murdered right at the payphone right near that King Taco.
Speaker 3 (31:07):
My nice.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Yeah, even if I knew that, I still would have buzzed.
