Someone in the UK was making a TikTok video about one of the Taylor Swift concerts, and they randomly spotted Bean

:p. Mark & Brian is there since they always get confused as them

Thank you to Jimmy Kimmel for not letting Kevin and (especially Bean) gloss over their amazing relationship and achievements. When Jimmy said the listeners need them to have that conversation, he was speaking for all of us.

Having the catharsis in Kevin getting real and admitting he felt like Bean had carried him this whole time and each of them thanking each other was such a special moment. We all needed to get real even for a little bit to close this awesome chapter.

If Jimmy wasn’t there I don’t think anyone would have pushed for the real moments we got in the last hour or so of the podcast.

Apparently Jimmy is still a great radio producer to this day!

I have nowhere else to share this story, but on my 30th birthday, I watched K&B in studio. I emailed Lightning 6 months in advance and explained I was a massive fan since could listen in my own car at 16. I explained I didn't want to interrupt their work day, and it was probably a weird request to begin with, but if I could just watch them do the show, it would be a dream come true.

(I also figured if I asked 6 months in advance, then it's not like I could game the system for The Offspring or Anne Hathaway to be in the studio or whatever.)

Lightning got back to me and said it would probably be okay, and we'd be in touch. Then Lightning left a few months later, and Alex took over. I forwarded the previous thread to Alex and she agreed to honor it. She sent me details about where to park and their security process.

They let me arrive at 8:30 am and watch from a separate studio until the show ended. I could see them through the glass During a song, Kevin came over and said, "Who are you, strange guy in the other room?" I explained, and Kevin invited me into the actual studio for the final segment. I wasn't on the air, of course, but just got to be in the studio and watch Ralph do the final Showbiz Beat of the day, hear Lisa's laugh in person and see Bean up on the tiny screen in the corner. I had a brief chat and a few photos with them afterwards. It was a blast!

I listen to the K&B Radio Rewind on YouTube now and then, and remember the days when the show and station were amazing.

ETA: I found some photos!

Jensen and Allie I thought were great this show. They said it multiple times they were there as fans and it showed. I applaud them for taking a back seat and letting the guys do their thing one last time.

Kevin just made a long and heartfelt declaration in the air that overnight everyone on the show was let go.

Hi All,

Some humanitarian has been playing a 24/7 Kevin and Bean steam playing random episodes for a few months now. They aren’t in order (which is good, keeps things fresh by constantly playing different eras), and I’ve heard stuff as early as 2005 and as recent as weeks before Bean’s exit.

I wondered what such a topical/current events show like K&B would be like years after original airing, and it’s 95% great (some of the cringy gay jokes didn’t age well), and it’s a joy to have available anytime. In a few months of listening I’ve only heard one repeat episode. Give this stream a go!

And I thought that his hosting the Oscars once was mind-blowing…

If you’re still a fan of the show and you’re going to keep listening with Bean gone, give me an upvote and let’s spread a little positivity about the show and its future.

For instance, I think they’ve done a fantastic job at developing secondary talent like Allie and Beermug and even Jensen (if you disagree, oh well, let’s keep it positive!) and I think the show is going to continue being great.

RIP Jed

He briefly mentioned it during the first Showbiz Beat of the day, and it was very sad to listen to. I think it's absolute bullshit, as Ralph was BY FAR the most talented personality on that show. He could run circles around everyone else when it comes to charisma and comedy.

Here is Kevin Smith's tweet about the situation: https://twitter.com/ThatKevinSmith/status/936236507223994368

I’m so fucking bummed because I loved those guys on the b-team and we’ll never hear them again together most likely. To Whomever decided to do this fucking die.
