It never fails.
Whenever I hit the QT to fill the tank in Cruiser 980, I inevitably will get either a comment, a question, or both from someone in the parking lot.
Some recent editions include:
“Do the cops let you drive really fast like an ambulance?”
“Do you work from KMBZ?” (no, I painted my own car like this)
“Do you guys do catering?” (yes, someone actually asked that)
But for the most part, the comments are great.
“We listen all the time!”
“I can’t get enough of your station. Shanin and Parks were right on the money yesterday.”
And then, there are those who think E.J. and Ellen use fake names. I’m not sure where this theory comes from. Are they under the assumption that, like many authors, we use pen names? Clearly Major Miles is an “on-air” name. But Ellen Schenk? E.J. Becker? Thse don’t exactly sound like made up names. For the record, their names are exactly what they are.
However, Ellen does admit she once wanted to go by the name “Vanessa”. It just never panned out.
Until next time…
