* FalseConfession: "Confess Your Crime", an infamous segment from June 1990 where Kevin and Bean took calls where people confessed to minor crimes. Shaping up to be a lame segment, they had fellow DJ Doug "Sluggo" Roberts call in and (falsely) confess in a very roundabout way to killing his girlfriend. Somewhere along the way, someone made a connection between the bogus confession and the actual unsolved murder of a [[http://unsolvedmysteries.wikia.com/wiki/Angela_Cummings/ 19-year-old girl]]. The Los Angeles County Sheriffs' Department investigated the claim and despite Kevin's and Bean's repeated assertions that the call was real, [[http://articles.latimes.com/1991-04-11/entertainment/ca-80_1_murder-confession/ discovered the hoax]]. They were suspended without pay, forced to pay restitution to the Sheriffs' Department, and perform 149 hours of community service. The entire incident was the subject of [[http://unsolvedmysteries.wikia.com/wiki/KROQ_Confession/ an episode]] of ''UnsolvedMysteries''.
