The group just 23 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 2: stayed together and the only thing that separated them was death. 24 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 1: That is incredible. Man, So did you grow up in Detroit? 25 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 2: I did. I grew up in Detroit, the home of Motown, 26 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 2: you know, you know, dwelling among all the Motown stars. 27 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:26,759 Speaker 2: They were just like all my dad's ran So I've 28 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:28,040 Speaker 2: seen it all. Yeah. Yeah. 29 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 1: My mother was born and raised in Dearborn. So I 30 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 1: spent you know, two or three weeks every summer in Detroit, 31 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,399 Speaker 1: and I loved it. I enjoyed it. 32 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you Detroit got Dearborn. That's just right next door. 33 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:39,680 Speaker 4: Deerborn was great. 34 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 2: We do sure.

Now the whole summer thing, 38 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 1: you know. 39 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 2: Oh yes, oh right, bottle of boat you probably remember 40 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 2: the bottom.

As a matter of fact, my mom's parents 43 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 1: lived in Deerborn until the I R. S. Guy came 44 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:10,919 Speaker 1: over one night and said, you know, it was twenty 45 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: eight thousand, and my grandfather said, let me get a check. 46 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 1: It's in my check book. He went into the closet 47 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,639 Speaker 1: pulled out a baseball bat and nearly killed the I R. S. Agent, 48 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: And that night he had to move all his entire 49 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,640 Speaker 1: family over to Windsor because in Canada they had no 50 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: extradition at that time, and he lived the rest of 51 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 1: his life in Windsor, Canada because of his beating the 52 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:34,239 Speaker 1: hell out of an I R. S. Agent. 53 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 2: Well, see, now that's a true Detroiter there, You know 54 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 2: what I mean. You can't just You're just not going 55 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 2: to pull up to my house and take my house 56 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 2: and throw me out, you know, not without a fight. 57 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 1: That's right. That's old school Detroit. 58 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 2: You know, absolutely absolutely. 59 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 1: That is wild. So, man, that must have been an 60 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: unbunny Tim. 61 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 2: I got a question for you. Sure are you related 62 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 2: to Tim Conway the actor? 63 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 1: Yes, that is my dad, I thought so. 64 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 2: I thought so. I knew when I've seen that name. 65 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 2: I was like, it's got to be related. 66 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 1: Not crazy. 67 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 2: Absolutely, I'm a fan. I'm a fan of your file. 68 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: But oh that's great, man. My dad was a big, 69 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: huge Four Tops fan. I mean he always he loved 70 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 1: all that music. He was turned onto that music early 71 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: because again my mom born and raised in Dearborn and 72 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 1: they met at bowling Green State University. So he'd go 73 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,639 Speaker 1: every weekend back to their place in Dearborn and then go, 74 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: you know, into Detroit and listen to music all the time. 75 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you know, Detroit is a great music cub, 76 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 2: you know. I think that's why it had to musically, 77 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 2: because all types of music. We listened to everything. You 78 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 2: guys probably remember, I don't know if you're listening audience, remember, 79 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 2: but Paul Revere and the Raiders and all of those. 80 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean yeah, you know, Detroit was a 81 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 2: hub for that. So you had every genre of music there. 82 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: But you probably you probably had people at your house 83 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: every weekend or so. I mean, you know, people that 84 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 1: we'd all know, Smokey Robinson, you know. 85 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 2: Uh yeah, speaking of Smokey, wait, let me tell you 86 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 2: worry about Smokey. He pulls up in the driveway to 87 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 2: visit my father, A friend and a friend of mine 88 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 2: and I. We were out in the back playing basketball. 89 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 2: He came back and said I want to play. We 90 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 2: said okay, and look he went after us. He was 91 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 2: knocking his down for the rebound and he was just 92 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 2: so intense. And I thought, later on, in later years, 93 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,479 Speaker 2: I said, no, that's why this guy is so successful 94 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,160 Speaker 2: because he was just intense. I remember him telling me, 95 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 2: he said, I don't do Mendeleist. I played a win. 96 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 2: He had always stuck with me. 97 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 1: Well, you know, it's it's it's similarly. It's like that 98 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 1: that story of I can't remember which comedian. I think 99 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 1: it was rich and it wasn't Richard Pryor. I can't 100 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: remember who it was, but it was some Comediuan was 101 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 1: at a bar, or at a restaurant and was was 102 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 1: challenged to a basketball game with Prince and Prince's friends 103 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: and oh. 104 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:52,720 Speaker 2: That was Eddie Murphy. 105 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 1: Yes, yes, Charlie Murphy and Eddie Murphy. And they went 106 00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 1: back and and Prince just schooled everybody. 107 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,040 Speaker 2: Listen, Prince could really play. He probably could have been 108 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,479 Speaker 2: like tiny Archiball or something. He was very very good 109 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,359 Speaker 2: on the basketball court. You know, people just sort of 110 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 2: just you know, by a size and everything. They kind 111 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 2: of discouraged him from playing. But the guy was tremendous 112 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:17,359 Speaker 2: on the basketball court. 113 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: All right, this is great Laurens Peyton juniors with us. 114 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: So who else would would stop by when you were 115 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: a kid? I mean what other people like we would know. 116 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 2: You just name it. You're just all the Motown acts. 117 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 2: I mean, like just just naming David Ruffling would come back. 118 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 2: My father was very very good with the ranging voices 119 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,119 Speaker 2: and stuff like that. So a lot of the groups 120 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:40,160 Speaker 2: would come by basically for singing lessons really to learn 121 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 2: different harmonies and stuff. And they sit around the piano. 122 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 2: So you know, like I just mentioned David Ruffing and Supreme, 123 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,720 Speaker 2: some of the girl groups, the Marble Lets, I mean, 124 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 2: everybody shorty long, all the old Motown acts. They would 125 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 2: all be over to our house. It was just like 126 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 2: my fifth birthday.

They were like actually in Detroit about a 136 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 2: year before they actually put out a record and stuff. 137 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,679 Speaker 2: So I kind of met them at the Gordy mansion 138 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,160 Speaker 2: before and and all of that. Real nice guys, very talented. 139 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 2: They were magical then. Michael was just a ball of energy. 140 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:38,600 Speaker 2: He was just incredible even then. 141 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 1: So when did you leave Detroit or are you still 142 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: live there? 143 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,600 Speaker 2: I still live in Detroit.

How cool is that? 151 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 2: That's beautiful? I mean it's said because he bridged listen, 152 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 2: you know it's very appropriate. Yeah, because he bridged the 153 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 2: racist together through music, you know what I mean. And 154 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 2: it's very appropriate, you know, really he did. 155 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 1: Yeah.

I walked to the front door, 507 00:24:55,040 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 1: realized I left my wallet in the car and went back, 508 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:08,200 Speaker 1: grab my wallet, open the front door, and again shocked 509 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 1: by the twenty five people in line in front of me. 510 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,880 Speaker 1: Looked at this time on my phone and said, no way, 511 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:20,640 Speaker 1: there's no way I have time to stand in this line. 512 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:27,960 Speaker 1: King Taco, you are the in and out of Mexican food. 513 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:32,639 Speaker 1: My favorite place for years and the Salsa Verde is 514 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 1: second to none. However, you need more locations. You need 515 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 1: a San Fernando Valley location, like maybe Burbank, although maybe 516 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 1: it's like living near a casino. I don't know if 517 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 1: I could survive living a half mile away from a 518 00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:04,720 Speaker 1: King Taco, great food, great service, more locations, possible drive 519 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:10,760 Speaker 1: through and delivery.
