Last week Kane Brown walked into a Sub shop at truck stop in Virginia and surprised the workers there. So today we were talking about meeting famous people when you least expect it. When I was a young man I had a job writing parking tickets at the University of Alberta (Yeah I was one of those jerks). I once wrote Edmonton Oiler great Kevin Lowe a ticket and he came up to me to discuss it. I was a little nervous when I realized I gave one of my boyhood heroes a parking ticket. Kevin ended up being very cool about it but for a brief moment I thought I was going to get punched by an Oiler. We got a lot of great calls this morning on the topic, including from Linda who was a baby shower and didn’t realize who she was sitting beside…
Jamie was working in France when he met a Royal and didn’t realize it until he got back to Canada
Nashville Kat meets famous people all the time but one time in Seattle she bumped into a Celebrity Journalist while shopping
We also got a lot of great texts about bumping into famous people…
Peggy-“Met Ted Danson at a lounge at Toronto Airport. Super nice guy!”
Jackie-“I ran into the Roadhammers here in either Zellers or Target shortly before one of them closed. They were just passing through town and were making a pitstop”
Teresa-“I took my daughter to a Lace (Beverly Mahood) concert at the auditorium 20 yrs ago when she was 10, I won backstage passes and meet and greet on the radio , Beverly was super nice to my daughter during the show she called her on stage introduced her to everyone , she got on her knees sang a song to her and at the end of the song she took off her silver bracelet and have it to my daughter, she still has it , later that year Beverly was on the holiday train and after her performance she got off the train and went up to my daughter at the front of the crowd and said hi Jade , and asked her how had been doing about school and told her she reminded her of herself when she was younger amazing that she remembered her face and name . Something my daughter says she will never forget”
