Bean DOES live on an island!

wrong . Kevin finally fessed up in the 7:00 a.m. hour today (Wed 7/28).
He said that Bean finally did what he has been threatening to do: do the
show from home. He moved to some island off of Seattle, and will fly
down for appearances. They played some AFRO line calls that were asking
about where Bean was.
Air_lift, keep the scoops coming!

They are certainly promoting the fact that Bean will be working from home.
I just don't believe that he is moving to "some island off of Seattle".
Considering that he has all of his animals to think of and tend to, I'd be
more inclined to believe that he will be working from his home in Southern
California.
I say more power to him. I dream of the day that I can be in my home office
and provide the information everyone wants without putting on any pants...

This info was not for everyone to know.
Like Air_lift said, even the DJs didn't know
for quite a while. There was no reason why
everyone should know. It wouldn't have
affected us as KROQ listeners. (Although I
must admit I was wondering how long it would
be until someone asked Bean how the animals
were doing on the farm, or when a guest
would question the situation.)
Bean is living on an island just off Seattle.
It's not a joke. I hope Bean and Donna enjoy
their time in the Seattle area. It's a nice
place to visit. Couldn't pay me to live there,
but it is fun for a week or so. Hasn't the
Morning show been lacking a more wet, rainy
perspective? Bean is always trying to do
anything he can for the show.
Unfortunately Tim, Bean does have to wear
pants. After all, there is a camera. Well,
shorts more likely, but you get the idea.

First, of all, your precious little Air_lift was wrong, he said that Bean was living in Oregon. oio gave us his seal of authenticity on this one.

Nope, he really is on an island. There are certain reasons for Bean living near Seattle, and I am sure if you ask enough, Air_lift will blab about them, also.
<<I say more power to him. I dream of the day that I can be in my home office

Hey, I understand the benefit of no pants (or underwear) as much as anybody, but I really think that since Bean needs to be seen everyday, he ought to wear pants. If you notice, nosy little Air_lift mentioned that there is a camera in KROQ studios, from which K&B can see each other and interact during the show.

Look, Air_lift crossed the line by giving out this info early. This is personal info about the personal lives of the radio hosts. Stuff about the show is fine to talk about. But why should w care whether or not Bean wants to live on some island cause he hates people (or whatever)? People shouldn't just start blabbing info before the think about the affects it could have. In this case, no harm was done, but when you act recklessly, you never know what can happen. What if Bean wanted to move there because of a stalker or something?

I didn't think Bean would get so upset about my daily

Something to do with Donna? Air_lift's original post just cryptically
referred to "the situation with Donna", as I recall. In any case, I guess
she won't be calling in to the show anymore to chastise Bean for going gaga
over Tyra or whatever.
So did Bean really move all his animals out there during their last
vacation? Impressive -- the last one wasn't that long. Wonder how he
transported all the critters...

Most likely plane. Putting an animal on a plane does cost quite a bit. If i'm
not mistaken , it's about $70 to transport a dog down the mexico. A friend took
her dog with her on vacation once. Maybe he drove all the animals in a big
truck up there. Then again , he is probably selling the animals to the person
who purchased his home , unless him and his wife got a divorced , and she's
staying. Who knows. I don't blame him if he's not telling the whole story ,
since I don't even tell my best friend what goes on in my life. Then again,
Bean is a public figure , and people do feel a need to know what's going on in
the life of public figures. Also,is bean moving off the coast of oregon or

Back on June 12th, I typed:
>Maybe it's a personal problem that shouldn't be in afk anyway??
Whatever the reason for the move (to Washington), if Bean
had wanted the KROQ listeners to know, he'd have told us.
He's always made nice comments about the Seattle area.
Perhaps it's nothing more than Bean knowing he is an integral
part of KROQ, and he knew that if he wanted to move, then
Mr. Weatherbee would let him. When Jed busted his knee so
bad a couple years ago (while dancing to Devo), he did his show
from his home for a few months.
I don't have any idea what has happened to the animals. My
_guess_ would be that he "farmed them out" due to the high
cost of transporting (so many) animals. Maybe he has kept
them on the farm in Santa Clarita and has a friend (like the
Post Office or 7-11 folks) taking care of his ranch.

I have to jump in here -- I disagree. If KROQ is allowing (and obviously
footing the bill) for a dj to broadcast remotely (or whatever this is termed)
then I think it is if nothing else newsworthy.
If we get carried away speculating about his personal life, that is a side
effect of such a move on Bean's part, and he should have anticipated it. And
since *none* of us know the true story, we can have fun speculating. For all we
know, he's broadcasting from jail!
Okay, kidding aside, oio, I always enjoy your tips and commentary, but I do not
understand why you are being protective of Bean's privacy all of a sudden. We
have all been privy to "little known stories" of K&B--that they don't
frequently talk about on the air--from the firing of Poorman to the lawsuit
with MMM to the prank with Sluggo...why wouldn't you classify those as personal
problems that should not be on afk?
I just feel that it's a stupid thing to be secretive about. Either he moved or
he didn't; it's a fact and we can't change it. You yourself raised the
question recently that you wondered when a guest would make a comment about the
remote location. Are they being so secretive because of all the times that
they made fun of Rick Dees for broadcasting from Santa Clarita after the
earthquake (or was that Mark & Brian?). Anyway, end of my rant. Hope I didn't
offend.

that it probably all has to do with Bean's contract. He has mentioned that
1.) he can't work for another LA radio station and 2.) they have a contract
for a while longer.
I'm betting that when the current K&B contract expires, then the show will
turn into the Kevin & Ralph (or fill in your name here) show.
Meanwhile while Bean is in Seattle, he can now also do afternoon drivetime
on the local country station...

Perhaps the island is in the middle of the Columbia River,
so itwould be correct to say it is an island near Oregon
and near Washington.

And they finally coughed up that he was not in Burbank
anymore. They said he was Washington. I understand that
people would wonder why. I did too.

Air_lift knows the true story, so do at least two other
regulars in this newsgroup.
Having fun speculating is cool, but having Air_lift give us
the reason (and not Bean) isn't cool. (I'll get to this point
some more below...)
It would be a kick, a lark if he were broadcasting from a
Seattle jail cell. We all know how other prisoners treat child
molesters and people that chop up their own mothers, how
would all the other inmates react to "Naked With Pork"?
>Okay, kidding aside, oio, I always enjoy your tips and commentary,
Thank you.
>but I do not

That's a good question! Although Bean and I have a lot in
common, I'm not a big fan of him on a personal level.
>We have all been privy to "little known stories" of K&B--that they don't
>frequently talk about on the air--from the firing of Poorman to the lawsuit

All of those things have been talked about on the air. That
makes it fair game for public discussion.
If Bean hasn't talked about the reasons for his move on the
air, he prolly doesn't want them known. I know that I'm not
gonna give out the reasons, I know that Mr.OC isn't going to
tell. But Air_lift I don't know about. I hope (s)he doesn't,
but if (s)he's already blabbed about this much, what's to
stop them from telling the whole story? Air_lift hasn't ever
responded to any private email I have sent, so I guess I've
been trying to impress upon him/her here in the ng that it's a
decision for Bean to make, not Air_lift.
I could tell you all about how Mr.OC was arrested last year
in TJ for that thing with the donkey show, but that's not for
me to discuss. If Mr.OC wants everyone to know, he'll tell
everyone. (in this "hypothetical" situation, I played the part
of Air_lift, and Mr.OC represented Bean.)
>I just feel that it's a stupid thing to be secretive about. Either he moved
or
>he didn't; it's a fact and we can't change it.
Absolutely right. If they had simply said "Starting next week,
Bean will be live from Seattle for the morning show. His animals
couldn't take the heat down here anymore", then it would have
been a non-issue. But like Air_lift said, Bean didn't want a big
deal made out of his departure, so he kept it quiet.
>You yourself raised the
>question recently that you wondered when a guest would make a comment about
>the remote location.
Yeah, it really puzzled me. If I were a guest, I'd be wondering
why I had to talk to a TV screen with Bean's mug rather than
Bean himself. Then there's people like me that would call up
and ask about the farm. If Bean no longer has the farm, how
is he gonna explain that he doesn't have Atomic and Buttercup?
We as KROQ listeners know that Bean loves his farm. That is
how a lot of us remember who is who on the morning show.
It would be like Jed never using his laugh. I would find it odd
that he stopped his trademark chuckle, but if he never said why
on the air, but then I had private correspondence with him and
he chose to tell me why, under the condition that I keep it quiet,
shouldn't I respect that? So to should Air_lift. If Kevin stopped
talking about his twins, never saying why on the air, but then I
found out that he gave them up for adoption because he didn't
think he and Melissa were good enough parents, is it my place to
tell everyone why? Of course not.
>Are they being so secretive because of all the times that
>they made fun of Rick Dees for broadcasting from Santa Clarita after the
>earthquake (or was that Mark & Brian?).
hehe, could be! I didn't think about that.
>Anyway, end of my rant. Hope I didn't offend.
No, you didn't offend. It would have been easier if you were
blowing hot air, but you do raise valid points.
Perhaps in time Bean will tell us that he needed the moist
climate for "the face", or that Donna got the dream job she
always wanted in Washington, or that he's broadcasting live
from jail! Until then, we can have fun speculating, so long as
Air_lift gathers up some decency and respect and doesn't
blab any personal info. (You don't see me giving out the
location of Zeke's apartment, or when Doug The Slug's last
raise was.)
Like someone else said earlier in this thread (DCC I think),
I hope Air_lift's posts from the inside of KROQ continue - but
not at the expense of people's privacy.

Thank goodness that somebody like Ralph with enough talent, wit, and

The Face departs the morning show. His unique blend of quick-fire wordplay,
intelligence, geekiness, occasional "damn the torpedoes" rudeness /
political incorrectness, eccentricity, goofiness, and maturity (as in
"Modern Maturity" magazine) will be missed.

Bean has wide enough musical tastes that he probably wouldn't mind all that
much doing any given style of music. I'd like to hear him as an NPR
correspondent. Regardless, he'll have to find another station that has the
infrastructure to support him working at home, or that is willing to build
it. Maybe he'll start his own Internet radio station...
