Have you guys noticed that Delana's picture is no longer on the J&J website?? Someone's jealous...
Though she is still on their biopage:
http://jeffandjer.star941sandiego.com/jj2006.html
They seriously need to update Laura's bio (and picture):
"Born and raised in Glendale, California! Laura is the oldest of 3 children! BEING THE ONLY woman on the Jeff and Jer Showgram, Laura has held her own and has received much praise and respect from her radio peers! She's been with Jeff and Jer since 1992!
An SDSU graduate majoring in Communications, specializing in local partying, Laura met her husband DAVE CAIN in college. Together they have 2 children, CHARLIE AND EVAN! Both Laura's siblings and both her kids all have RED HAIR, so Laura's blonde hair comes from PAUL MITCHELL.
Even though you may not have met Laura in person, she comes across on the radio as your best friend. She gives up all her personal life stories on the air, much to her husband's dismay at times.
GENTLEMEN, FOLD YOUR DOLLAR BILLS and GIVE IT UP FOR LAURA CAIN!"

I laughed at the bitterness that comes thru so strongly in Laura's diary today. I'm thinking Dave gave her plenty of chances, heck I think they were even celebrating their anniversary not too long before she was "shipped off", but a person can only take so much for so long and we all know Laura has had her problems for a long time. Dave probably found a normal person to talk to and finally felt what it is suppose to feel like in an adult relationship. While I don't condon cheating, I'm not even sure that's what I would call it under these circumstances. Laura is just so very immature, selfish, and bitter about something SHE caused. Again, it's all about her. I hope Dave is finding happiness, he deserves it after giving up so much and putting up with so much.

OK, I'll help her.....

Laura Cain was born and raised in lovely Glendale, CA and quickly became one of the LA "wannabes". She is chronologically the eldest of 3 kids, but mentally, not so much. Being the only woman (next to Jeff) of the morning show has lead her to receive much respect and praise from her radio peers - what? (delivery like the "Geico" caveman commercial).

Laura grauduated summa cum laude with a degree in "partying" from SDSU. She met Dave Cain when she was on a bender one night-he was kind enough to hold back her hair extensions while she was puking in the quad. They have two children, both of whom have red hair (and neither one of them does, so you do the math).

Even though you do not know Laura (other than her on-air whining and commercial shilling, and whatever you learn about her in all of the AA meetings she attends), on the radio, she comes across as your best friend (if your best friend were a druggy-alcoholic). She gives up all of her personal stories on the air (and by personal stories, we mean shopping and haircare tips - the rest of her life is in litigation). She considers all of her listeners her friends (but not her BFFs, however - she reserves that honor for her close personal friends Captain Morgan, Jack Daniels & Jim Beam).

Jeff and Jer have unpaid interns to plan the show and do paperwork. J&J are often talking about things they did out and about (doctors, kids, etc) at 10:00, so they obviously don't stick around the studio much.

Don't forget, Dave just turned 40 and Laura is 39. Dave was never mentioned in any blogs, letters or even on the air since March 6th. It almost sounds like the marriage was breaking up as Laura was being "shipped off" to rehab. I don't blame Dave at all. He married a party girl he met in college and just assumed that phase of her life would end at some point. Since Laura wanted to move into a house that was so close to what she enjoyed so much and continued to drink heavily and do drugs, I think he realized the end was near and she was never going to outgrow the party girl phase. I guess Dave can thank Cree and all of her other dear friends who felt partying was better for Laura than being a mom and wife.

From listening this morning, seems like Jeff is cleaning out his garage and had offered Laura first pickings at any extra furniture he might have. Apparently, all that's available are furnishings and mirrors. Laura might want to keep the mirrors....

Does this mean that Laura is moving out? Or did Dave pull a midnight move during rehab and Laura walked into an empty house.

At least she still has the built in Bardon wine cabinet.

By the way - what skate board ramp were her and the kids hanging out at for two days? Uncle Tommy's?

This is Jeff's 3rd marriage. His first marriage produced two children, his second produced Mark, Laura and Elizabeth, who knows if he'll adopt or what with this 3rd wife.

Randy is finally engaged. He's 47 and still lives with parents. I see them in Santee Costco all the time. He's actually very attentive to them. I respect him the most out of that whole batch.

SORRY THIS ACCIDENTALLY POSTED TWICE. IBOOK TOO SMALL FOR MY FAT FINGERS!

Lohan, Spears, Hilton, Ritchie, and to a much smaller extent, Cain. Why do we love thee?

Human NASCAR baby! It's the celebrity that attracts us but it's the "crashes" that thrill!
Not that we want anyone to get hurt -- it's simply a treat to watch artificially, puffed-up entertainers when the whells fall off.

What is more all-american than watching people become "a big deal," start believing the stardom is "real," create intolerable attitudes toward "normal" people, only to crash and burn while begging us to forgive their "bad choices?"

I've taken a few hits for being "so negative." Another blog writer encouraged me to go to "omish" country if i didn't like the sppon-fed crap like J&J. Now, I'm pretty sure the Amish are in Pennsylvania --- anyone know where I can move to be near the "Omish?"

Another critic claims we (yes I am including some of you others in this) are too critical and J & J are "normal" people with problems like anyone else. I'm out of the loop on this one, howver, I'd be interested in hearing from any of you other "normal" people like J & J who work 4 hours a day, 45 weeks a year for $3 million a year.

Why are we harsh on LC and Lt and J & J? Because IF they are indeed anything like their "showgram" projected personalities -- they're a freakin mess of mixed up wealth and celebrity. They have joined human NASCAR .

Don't forget Jeff married a 35-36 year old who is 16 years his junior. Marrying Kristin made her an instant grandmother since Jeff's oldest daughter has a 2 year old. Also, I'm hearing Randy's girlfriend is almost 20 years younger than he is. She is in her mid 20's. They commented on the showgram a few months back how there is a bigger age difference between Randy and his girlfriend than Jeff and Kristin.

But some of this is interesting in looking at how people behave and how they act.

It's interesting, for example, how they provide for Becky's House. That's nice of them to be a key sponsor of a place for battered women. But it seems ironic because Little Tommy has been in trouble for domestic violence, and I think he was in court once for stalking charges by a woman? can somebody confirm that?

And Jeff seems to have gotten involved and re-married very quickly after his divorce.

And Jerry sounds preachy sometimes about different things. I think he thinks of himself as an intellectual. Then the deep thoughts give way to the nonsense comedy and one-liners that they have so often on the showgram.

I can't figure out why Randy is on the showgram or what his role is.

On a (temporary) serious note --
1. becky's house and the effort put into it is an awesome gift for any community regardless of the flaws the "stars' personally carry.
2. I aggree with trixie about bashing kids being forbidden on this thread.
3. randy does the bulk of production for the show. E.g., editing for "Best of" segments (Lord knows how long THAT must take)

It's OK to bash kids when they are annoying and funny looking like Charlie; and Becky's House is great - it's going to be Laura's new home now that Dave has kicked her to the curb.

Stale? How can you say that? Everyone on this board is eating this stuff up like candy (myself included). If it were stale, this thread would not exist. It's twisted, yes, but it's the reality of reality tv/radio.

The Jeff and Jer part of the show has been stale for years. Hence this thread being born to bitch about the fact that they are just phoning the show in and collecting paychecks. This new Laura and Tommy show tastes more like puke than candy. They are two people who have been given such a great chance to be role models and instead have been selfish and made very bad decisions in life. I tried to read their blogs ahwile ago but can't stand to hear them whine about they are victims of their own choices. From the excerpts I read on this site looks like they still have the same tone.

I'm hoping Laura and Tommy are revealing all this stuff because they are stupid. If they are truly doing it for the ratings then they have sunk to a new low. There are children involved here.

I haven't listened to the show for almost a year now because its so crappy, but occasionally check in to see if the show went back to its pre 2004 self. There was a time the show used to be really good. It's focus was on fun and San Diego not personal problems, Hollywood stars, and regurgitating Sex and the City episodes. I guess a naive part of me keeps hoping the old show will come back. I know in my heart it never will.

I wish Jeff and Jer would take back their show. I wish Laura and Tommy would shut up and live their private lives privately. I wish they would get back to fast food drive-thru stunts and start taking real listener phone calls again. I wish the show would make me laugh and put me in a positive mood for the day like it used to. I also wish for a pony, world peace, and some watermelon flavored bubble gum. Yeah, watermelon flavored bubble gum would be good.

It's nice that Little Tommy has been such a good friend to Laura to help her through rehab and all that. I think there are some positives out here, not just complaining about J and J.

But then Laura has to carry the ball now that she's out of rehab. Do we know who paid for rehab for her, or if health insurance pays for it sometimes? She may have been given a life saving gift by breaking her addiction cycle.

She may now realize that there are consequences to life. She is losing her marriage, probably largely due to her "issues".

So now Laura will be a single mom statistic. Unlike some moms, she has a good paying job to support themselves. Heck with the gender neutral alimony laws, maybe she would owe Dave alimony. If the rumors are true that Laura makes a nice paycheck from the Showgram.

Yeah! Count me in as a newbie poster but been reading this site for the last couple of months. Love the conversations here that totally have confirmed that "little voice" inside of me that keeps asking why on earth am I listening to J&J?

One quick note on Laura and Dave...I remember when J&J would have him on the air, personally I enjoyed Dave Cain. His humor was much better and quicker than J&J..Anyway, the fact that Laura kept spending money on lottery tickets and listening to them talk about their finances made me ill. I remember when money was tight and the last thing I did was go out and buy a new outfit or lotto tix.

Sorry for the long post but I've just been able to get on and have SO much to complain, I mean say.

I sure miss Delana. She was the most solid one on the show. Listening to Jeff interrupt ALL the past guests made me scream more than a few times at the radio. Even during daily dirt, it would take 3x's the amount of time to listen to Jeff's religious take on things. BORING.

Ok, I'll stop and take a breath.

Dilbert-1985

07-06-2007, 05:18 PM

I think there is a curiousity about their private lives because they openly share about their lives with the audience. And we're seeing that with Laura and her rehab and recovery. And perhaps we'll see if she opens up more about her marriage and family situation.

I think some people here find this to be an interesting group of characters, faults and all. If not why would so many be listening and coming here and writing about it.

I hope Laura's not being used for ratings though. She has serious addiction problems and her marriage is falling apart. She needs to focus on her recovery for her sake and her kids sake, and not just to keep people entertained.

"So hard to hear all those news stories about Saturday being the biggest day for weddings in recent memory because of the 07-07-07 angle. As my marriage crumbles, other people are starting on their road of "For Better, For Worse." Hopefully, those marriages will make it though "For Worse." Some people don't take that vow seriously." Laura sounds like a bitter-bitter woman. Take a step back hun & look what you did to your children & husband. IF Davecain found another while you were "gone" so be it. She made her bed...right into rehab. What about "trust" in the vows??? She broke that trust long ago. Grow up babe...you are almost 40 yrs old...time to get your s*%# together.

Showgram cast, here's some free advice: (if you're reading)
Laura: This thread is cheaper than therapy, get a clue and move to Becky's house.
Delana: When Dave is single, marry him, that way he can still partake in the J&J showgram, assuming that Delana will remain on the payroll. We miss you already, and doesn't D&D sound like a great mix?
Randy: Marry Deb, start a family, I don't know if your parent's have any grandchildren, but they need something to brag about and this would be a good way to still connect with them, but have them fawn over your spawn.
Jeff & Jerry: Review your archived shows and Best Of's. Maybe that will inspire you.
Pam (Jerry's wife): I think you deserve some more air time, haven't heard you check in much, and I like to listen to your voice and ideas.
Tommy: I got nothing. IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

Oh, and Laura - save the drama for your Mamma, cause we're tired of it. You and Tommy should run away together - you deserve each other.

I guess they are concerned enough to take a look at real criticism, not the glossed over gushing they get online at the station...

I've written two of the sponsors that had her as a spokesperson...when I hear her voice shilling a product, I take note, and send them a letter letting them know I wouldn't be considering their products if they continue to have such a person representing them. I would suggest others do that too. IF this is all just a fake out, fine, then. I guess I am silly. But I will say again, there are many many young people out there who have WORKED their butts off and would love a chance to showcase their talents. As far as I can see/tell, this Laura character that they have concocted probably skated through San Diego State (wait, another letter comes to mind about someone like HER representing that school of communications..)

Ok, so now, everyone who is a plant for the show, raise your hands. New Reader, whatever new signon name you have come up with, this means you.

I only started listening when they moved to 94, so I don't know the better days. Where there better days? Really?

I have to say the Laura rehab thing has gotten me interested. I hope she does well. I kind of like Tommy too, sorry. I like Randy and Delayna. The one who has to go is Jer. He is a pig, he is not funny, he is a snob, he is not entertaining, he is not funny. He is a vegetarian, so I'll give him that plus. I cannot read Tommy's blog because of that spooky add of Jer staring at you. ICK.

So, if someone disagrees with a comment or criticism of the show, esp. Laura, then they are a plant from the show?

Well, I am not but I don't think you'll believe me. Yes, they are preachy and fake (thank god Jeff's toupee is gone) and not what they were five, even ten years ago. So much is fabricated and there's always a build-up to something that has no payoff...that's usually Jer's doing. I too, have listened since they started at Y-95.

If I were to criticize someone on the show it would have to be Jerry Crain....brother of Niles and Frasier. He could be their long lost brother as he is pompous, arrogant, plastic looking, immature (all the sex talk for a man his age) self-absorbed and of all of the Showgram, he is the least invested...both in energy, time given and heart.

Laura: I truly feel bad for Laura. She must be very scared these days. I just wish you guys weren't so mean about what you say about her and her kids. She does not owe the listeners anything and has said a lot so far. But it may be very healthy for her to get it all out so maybe she'll do as Tommy says and tell everything by next week.

A couple of things: yes, Chips has two dads.

I don't think that Dave strayed, rather whatever happened on/about March 6 with Charlie must have been the final straw. I think at that time there was an incident where Laura was put somewhere agst her will (I speculate jail based on what Tommy said before the infamous bra buying trip) because something she did caused harm to Charlie.

Anyway, I really want Laura to get well and don't wish anything bad on her.

Did anyone else notice on Fridays showgram that by 8:30 or so, Delayna wasn't heard again?

She usually does the news and stuff, but they ended up having Ladonna Harvey from KOGO 600 do the news through the rest of the show....

I wonder if she got ticked off at Laura, J&J when they kept interupting her?

I wonder if DaveCain was participating in her Newport Beach therapy? I do recall her mentioning in one of her diaries that DaveCain brought the kids up....Don't you usually participate in therapy with your significant other?

I wonder if he felt half way through her last 2 months that it was just a lost cause?

I know there is a law in California that if one spouse is out of the family residence for over 90 days, and you file for separation or divorce, the other spouse can't return (of course, that's if DaveCain didn't want her to return...which is obvious)

The part about Shello writing that whatever happened on/about March 6...must have been the final straw. Last straw. The "needle" in the haystack, so to speak. It is amazing how many references to drugs are prevalent in our daily communications.

Regarding their walk at Torrey Pines today:

"Laura was there too. Listeners sure love that Laura is back. Laura gives up ALL her dirt on these walks to everyone who simply asks her. It’s funny.
Laura was walking with a group of about 5 women who have or ARE going though the same thing with their relationships and I swear it was like listening to the YA YA SISTERHOOD CLUB or FIRST WIVES CLUB."

So, does anyone want to commit to going on the walk NEXT weekend and simply asking Laura all the questions that we've pondered here? I am so tempted :)

And no mention of going to any more meetings with Laura....

I run/walk in that area several times a week as is, so if my husband doesn't end up being out of town next weekend, I'll go and ask her. I think that from the very start (and this goes for all of them) they should have made the decision to share only the basics of their lives, or share it all. It makes it hard for me to be sympathetic towards them when they go back and forth between the 2. They share the "good" (Jeff-"I'm such a great Dad, I go to church, I'm from Ohio so I must be a good person with great morals") and hide the "bad" ("Nina and I have been divorced for a year")

Like I said, I don't have a problem asking Laura what happened (I'm not sure why she would share on the walks, and not on the air), but I think we all need to keep in mind that the answers/info we are getting/going to get are coming from an obviously bitter woman (who takes responsibility for practically nothing in her life).

I think Jeff & Jer decided that since most people knew their St. James and Elliott names were fake AND that they were both such Big Deals in San Diego it was time to start using their real names. The switch to their real last names sort of coincided with the switch to 94.1. I remember when Jeff's real name was mentioned on the air once many years ago and he completely flipped out over it.

Here's the mp3 of the first talk-to segment this guy made to the show 5/27/03

Not so bizarre to hear Laura ask herself if she got loaded over the weekend and if she's still drunk.
And the soundboards:

John and/or Sharon are BIG fans of the show (I think they're the only two listeners left, actually). A while ago, when we first found out about their website, one of them put a page up that basically called everyone who reads or posts on this board "haters"......obviously someone completely enthralled by the crap J&J put on the air daily. Whatever...check back there - I'm sure they'll be calling us haters again for mentioning their crappy site on this forum. Whatever........

Anyway, I really want Laura to get well and don't wish anything bad on her.

I don't wish anything bad on anyone but Laura comes back on the air, admits she has a substance abuse problem and knows she needs to move forward in life to become a productive member of society. However after reading and hearing how Tommy had to "drag her to a meeting" it doesn't sound like she is really into her recovery. It's like a "chore" (for lack of a better word) for Laura to participate in her recovery.

When I was in recovery, I did everything and anything I could to become a better person, a humble person and to gain the trust and respect of my family and my friends I had hurt along the path of my self destruction.

It ticks me off that,IMHO, they think this is nothing but a big joke and in a couple of months Laura will be fine. They are enablers, dysfunctional and have no flippin' clue.

P.S. For Laura - in the 12 Step program "fine" means "f'd up, insecure, neurotic, and emotional" or "feelings inside not expressed".

Thanks for letting me share once again! :)

Tommy, who reads this forum (I think we all agree on that, right?) will probably warn her so she can think of an excuse to not be there. Or mid week she will announce on air that being "so open" is too much pressure and she needs to take a step back.

I would offer to drive, but as I posted previously my husband may be out of town which will leave me with our 3 kids, 5yrs and under (too young to come along), so if you pick a meeting place, and I can make it, I'm more than happy to pay for gas or treat those in the carpool vehicle to smoothies/coffee after the walk. (I'm a 26y/o female)

I sincerely hope that Tommy's BBQ at the Hilton (or whatever location he settles on) will not be open bar/BYOB...don't J&J usually have some kind of party every year at the barefoot bar on Paradise Point?

Tommy seems to suggest that Laura's drug of choice was/is heroin the way he ties it in with his 2 deceased brothers that were heroin addicts. I know heroin was somewhat in fashion for a time, but still scary crazy to me. Likely, it was just my interpretation of Tommy's way of writing. One doesn't typically snort heroin do they? I always figured her drug of choice was meth, but what the hell do I know?

I agree with the others that see Laura's bitterness and lack of responsibility for her marital situation. IMHO, those marriage vows do not give one license to completely abuse the union, the spouse and mostly the children. Alcoholism and drug addiction may well be a disease, but one of the symptoms/repercussions ARE the losses of family, job, financial security, friends, etc... Is not part of the recovery process to take responsibility and try to make amends or at least acknowledge and apologize for all the s*it you put everyone through?? Perhaps in time...

Depending on how things transpired, DaveCain could have well given her the greatest gift of her life, by laying out a firm ultimatum and bottom line, good for him, better for her--another chance before she destroyed even more. IF he has in fact, gone out and found himself a new love interest during this time, then shame on him, adding insult to injury for those poor kids.

Hi. New here. Love this site. I found it a few months back when I googled "laura cain in rehab".
I found this site the same way!

wasn't Charlie really sick when he was born
Yes he was but it was from gastroschisis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastroschisis), which is where some of the abdominal organs are formed outside the body. I think it was detected during a routine ultrasound and he had corrective surgery immediately after birth.

Laura's nasty comment was very telling when she called Delana a butt-kisser after she said she liked Jerry's horrid jazz singer. Sadly, I wouldn't be surprised if we have heard the last of Delana on their show.

Jeff had let his name slip several times on the air. He wasn't too careful about it.

Jer was a little more careful but when his play came out, all the papers used his real name.

They would occasionally use there real names in stories but make no reference that the names were their own. You could tell though because others in the studio would laugh.

If Dave quit his great job and he makes less that Laura, he can get support from her for the rest of his life.

They have been married for more than 10 years so he can collect alimony with no end unless he gets re-married.

If that is the case, I sure hope Laura makes a ton. She'll lose half of that to Dave.

Also sounds like Dave is taking care of the kids. He should collect support as well.

I think the first time Jeff's real last name (Detrow) came out, was when his ex-wife Nina was on the winning over the line team and the team photo was in the paper. I think they announced it on air before they noticed her full name was printed.

From Tommy's blog Sunday morning: "I was just talking with Laura about STUFF. I just asked her some basic questions on the 12 steps she is doing. I said, “so what is this all about, what are you trying to do”….She said, “well the first thing to do is to take care of myself FIRST, then when that happens, my children welfare comes naturally and they will be okay from me taking care of myself”……"

I don't think Laura needs any help putting herself first...hasn't that sort of been the problem all along?

Okay, I go against my own post about hitting the kids --- but I can't help but notice that Charlie's photos indicate he could easily eat an apple through a picket fence.

I've been meaning to tell my little "how I used to know Laura" story for quite some time now. Forgive me if it's too long/boring/ or both!

About 10 years ago, she used to host a happy hour at Club 66. We went early and often, and a few of us formed a friendship with her, since we were the only early-birds who showed up every week. I really liked her, she was nice, and I LOVED her husband Dave. He seemed grounded and very real to me.

What I remember most about her were a few things: 1) she smoked ciggy's constantly, and said she had to hide her habit from J&J like they were her parents! She said she did the whole perfume and mouthwash bit, and was afraid they'd fire her if they found out. I thought it was crazy, but she was serious.

2) At the time, Chris Cantori worked there as well. He came once in a while, (at 91X now) and they seemed very tight. Well... he was abruptly let go, and she wouldn't tell us why. Finally after a few rounds of drinks, she sort of hinted that a few things had happened, and J&J were "uncomfortable" with Laura and Chris working together.

The only thing my friends and I could surmise was that they were maybe messing around? And it was bad for the Showgram's image?

I have other tidbits to relay, but I don't want to go any further if this is just toooo long of a post for you!

Also, there were some comments by posters about the kids and their physical looks...Sorry, but as a mother, I think that is off limits. To rag on Laura and J&J, etc..that's fine, but kids? C'mon. Kids are the innocent ones here.

From Laura's diary today - I see she's still shopping. And she needs to see a counselor. Since she seems to want to talk about everything. How is spilling everything when walking better than doing it on her "diary"? It's all gonna be out there eventually. Spilling to a bunch of strangers on a walk isn't "taking the high road".

We all were goofy looking as kids, so it doesn't bother me...would be great if these adults would quit pushing their kids up into the limelight, though...I CAN complain about Charlie thinking he is a big deal as son of Big Deal in San Diego Laura Cain...but that's not really getting on Charlie, that's getting on his mother for trying to impress him that she's a BDOSD (Big Deal of San Diego) These radio personalities need to quit trying to impress their kids that they are big deals. It's always wonderful and refreshing for kids to find out that their parents were big deals AFTER the kids grow up. There's nothing like the startled amazement of a kid who finds out their parents weren't just using them as material for their show...for lack of inspiration. It's better that kids are able to think of their parents as normal and like the other parents, not Big Deals.

I think it's too late for Laura's kids to think she's normal.....how many kids can say that their Mom went to live on a "farm" for 90 days(I'm sure that Dave wasn't telling them she was in rehab)......and, it's not normal for their "Uncle Tommy" to bring their Mom underwear and snacks.

Hmmm, what else? I went to a bbq at her house those oh so many years ago. She lived downtown in a condo at the time, I think the name of it was... ack! Greystone? It was small but comfortable, cluttered and normal. She had Riley the bird and some others, she was a bird fan back then, but I never hear her talk of birds anymore? Maybe she got rid of them. I remember she'd go out on her tiny little wrought iron porch and smoke, and she talked about her romance with Dave. She was a partier, but I never saw her do any more than drink her ass off, and I confess at the time I was a little "starstruck" that she was so nice in person... how sad is that?

I also made a few friends with her friends, and from those people we'd go to Tio Leo's on Marina Blvd and do the Swing Dance night. They'd gush over her, even though she wasn't there. They drank heavily too (of course, I probably did back then, but since I was/am poor, it was never any more than $20 in drinks and tips from me!)

So here's the one event that stands out most in my mind. Dave threw her a 30th bday bash. It was at some military place like for weddings I think? It was a 70's themed costume party. My boyfriend (now hubby)and I were sent invites, and of course we went! It was very fun, laura wore a hilarious yellow afro-wig, which fell off during picture taking, so she looked crazy and drunk on the floor, with pantyhose plastered to her head.

What totally annoyed me that night was J&J. They were there, and they were SOOOO unapproachable! they basically sat behind a podium-type of table, not even a little table. Picture them behind a podium, sitting on high-barstools, Jerry was drinking beer, Jeff was drinking soda. NO ONE came up to them. They just looked snooty and above everybody else. (Or maybe that was the impression I got because they WERE above everyone else on their high stools?)

I actually never had much contact with Laura after that party, maybe just a few times aftward. I don't know if anything specific happened, but I'll piece that together and post it soon!

I agree with you about Dave. I think he has been the one holding the family together and I don't think he took the "HIGH" road on this trip. Especially if he is seeking custody.

Also, there were some comments by posters about the kids and their physical looks...Sorry, but as a mother, I think that is off limits. To rag on Laura and J&J, etc..that's fine, but kids? C'mon. Kids are the innocent ones here.

Mea culpa. No more kid comments. Although it is interesting how every parent thinks they have such "special" kids. That begs the question, "Where do all the A-holes come from?"

Looks like Delana's five favorite things are up on their website, sorry if this was already talked about! But I think it looks rather "fishy" does anyone else?

She just has titles and either a picture or a link to the website of her favorite thing. And nothing else, like raves about her choices or explanations.

Everyone else so far has "talked" about their choices at length, and it just seems weird to me that Delana's has no personality at all in her list. Like someone else did it for her. I don't know. Maybe I'm grasping, but with her absent voice and barely there on the air, this seemed to add to all of that for me.

BTW, what was meant by New Reader coming to get me? :)

Is Delayna a "shill" for those products? All of her favorite things are products or services you can buy. Hmmm.........

That's a good question somebody earlier said, about whether these kids can be "normal" with well known parents.

And I wonder exactly what Dave and others told the kids about Laura's absence. I bet they are too young to understand the concept of a rehab center. Though they might understand it that Mommy had to go to school or some other explanation.

I stopped listening to the show about a year ago. I read their website and once in a while will tune in to the show for 5 minutes or so. That's about all I can handle.

I do wish Laura the best. It does sound as if she's bitter about her marriage, but just because she's done the rehab thing doesn't mean things always go back the way they are. She hurt a lot of people and broke trusts and that all has to be earned back. I hope for her and her kids that she works the program.

Tommy is just a disgusting pig. I'm so tired of hearing about how much he does for everyone. Get thee to therapy fast I say.
I do remember from that magazine interview he did that he said in 5 years from now he was going to be begging Jer to come out of retirement.

Jeff - Gag

Jer - Just putting in his time

Randy - Hmmm, pathetic

I think the showgram has changed because they aren't doing the stunts anymore, are they? Like the time that they said Randy was going to jump over cars like Evil Kneival (sp) at the Del mar Fairgrounds, and it turned out to be an April fool joke? Or the time Randy went in a restaurant and had to talk through a megaphone to everybody? Or the time Laura and Tommy went to a Wal-Mart and got on the intercom and made announcements? And the managers at Wal-Mart asked them to leave and didn't have their sense of humor about it???

Whatever happened to "Do Stuff to Randy Wednesdays"? See, I think they have shifted around to not doing as many things. It's more just the usual talking and B.S.-ing about American Idol and other TV shows or a movie that somebody saw.

Maybe Jeff and Jer has "jumped the shark"? Hard to think about, but maybe they just aren't as creative or thinking about the stunts anymore.

Has Laura Cain "jumped the shark"?

I wonder how much sympathy she will get if she doesn't get to her AA meetings and falls off the wagon. I just wonder how much support Jeff and Jer would give her if she publicly fails to reform herself. In welcoming her back, Jeff and Jer barely said 2 words about it. I wonder if they are secretly P.O.d at her, and they just want to use her for ratings as we all follow the reality show of Laura's recovery?

A previous poster here said that years ago, Laura had to hide smoking from Jeff and Jer because they were on her like they were her father or something? I wonder if they think of themselves as high and mighty or think of the others there like they are children?

Well, there's lotsa behind the scenes stuff at the showgram.

You're right - it's "dysfunction junction" - and they can't even put the "fun" into dysfunction, either.

They're basically phoning it all in. I predict that once their contracts are over - they'll be gone. Either the station will can them, or they'll just retire. They just don't give a crap anymore, it's obvious.

Let's see - what will they do in their next careers:

Jeff: Will become a plus-sized model for Lane Bryant
Jer: Will become a beer sampler for Karl Strauss (basically, what he's doing now but not getting paid for)
Tommy: Will become an even BETTER Dad :puke:
Laura: Will marry Tommy, and together, they'll ride off into the sunset to another AA meeting
Randy: Will FINALLY come out of the closet
Delayna: Will move on to a BETTER radio station, and we'll all listen because she's good

Also, what's up with the poster who is planning to go on the walk next weekend to pump Laura for info. I am sorry, what are your motives/what does Laura owe you? Yes, it may be interesting and fun to speculate here on what's going on with Laura, but surely you have something else to do that better serves you?

I don't think there is anything wrong with some of us wanting to get the supposed truth from Laura. We were told she would tell us EVERYTHING upon her return. She didn't. If she's going to go public with her story so she can help others, blah blah blah, then she should do it all the way. I'm not going way out of my way to be there, I'm not putting off my husband, our children, or any other responsibility to be there. I'm not going to "pump her" for info, I'm going to politely ask her. I don't wish harm on her, or anybody else. I don't want to see her fail, I don't want her marriage to crumble. I hope she gets it together, for the sake of her children. In the end the 2 of them will be the ones that suffer.

I believe it was Ritchie who said
Are you sure you don't work for the show?

Laura isn't telling all the info in her blogs as she promised but she is telling everyone she sees. I don't see a problem with going and asking her to fill in the blanks.

Also if the details are posted here, are you going to ignore them or read them? What are your "motives" to read them here?

So don't worry Shello, I'll be more than happy to post my email address so people can contact me for the answers Laura gives to me (if any). I wouldn't want you to be forced into wasting your time by reading the answers, or have anybody question your motives.

Sara and Greg are both hilarious. I switched from listening to J&J in the morning to Monique and the Man on Jack. They're so much better to listen to than the stale J&J Showgram. I always liked Greg and Sara when they were on the old Star and thought that they should be doing mornings rather than blurbs here and there in the afternoons (kind of like Rick and Jen are doing now).

They jumped the shark about 20 sharks ago. The show is lame. They have been phoning it in ever since the other other station.

When their contracts run out Jer will be the only one that is okay. All the others are living paycheck to million dollar paycheck. So it's safe to say we haven't heard the last of them.

I have been fascinated by you all for quite a while now. I'm even more fascinated by the train wreck that this show has become. I stopped listening about 2 years ago when J&J wouuld drag things out for over an hour. I found a diary entry for Laura where she complained about having to work til 12 and do 24 commericials. Are you kidding me? Heaven forbidden she have to work a REAL job 8 hours a day every day. Or take care of her kids without the help of a nanny. I changed to AJ's Playhouse and have found them to be a breathe of fresh air.
Interesting tidbit on Jerry: I know several people that worked with him for some reason or another. They all agree he is a complete JERK. Apparently, he's rude, condesending, etc.

If you think a 4 hour "workday" is accurate -- think again. Here is my challenge to all of you: The "showgram" starts at 6 a.m. and ends at 10:00 a.m. The "stars" come on at 6:10 a.m. Take ONE morning and time the number of minutes given to commercials from 6 to 9:30 and then, the "replay" that every show has from 9:45 to 10. IF you find they are on-air "live" for more than 3 hours -- I'll make myself listen to their show for 4 hours a day for 4 weeks. (No wait -- I'll blow my head off with a bazooka -- that would be less painful).

Fat, bloated, out-of-date, repetitive, condescending, sophomoric, plagerized radio = J&J today.

Do you think they are gearing up for the Tommy and Laura show?

Jeff and Jer seem bored, like they are not enjoying this show and just ready for retirement, well, especially Jef. It's painful listening to people who make so much money yet sound like they have to fake liking their jobs. I started listening after they moved to this station because they seemed to have such a following and I was already listening to 94 because I like their music. Now I find myself switching to Jack more and more. They seem to be having fun and are more fun to listen too.

I hate Jerry's attitude towards women like he's someone to rave about. I hate that he fakes his laughs and doesn't even try to pretend to be real. He just needs to retire. Good for him, he made a success of himself from working hard. Now move on.

Or has Jerry always been a butt and hard to listen to?

Hard to listen to? A few years ago, my wife convinced me to go see Jer's play "Nickels and Dimes." What a rush-bag of CRAP!! It wasn't a play, it was Jerry's way of shoving his "I love animals/vegans/gays" viewpoints into a "play." People clapped and applauded -- as I sat stunned at how simple and untalented this writer must be.

If he says, "Keep on Rockin' in the Free World" once more....Neil Young swears he will come to San Diego and renounce the song forevermore. Jerry could NOT be more frozen in time. He is a "mod hipster" from 1974, shoved down our throats in 2007. His passions range from Kiss to tits to Van Halen -- OMG!!! Jerry is Piltdown Man!!!

So, I filled them in on LC, and they've decided to go with another company.

What I find strange is that Jeff had to go to Las Vegas to find a good cosmetic dentist (and probably paid a fortune for replacing his "chicklet" teeth) - and then ends up actually admitting that his teeth fall OUT!!

Okay, how about this top-ten reasons they SUCK:

10. They have 2 hours and 40 minutes of "bits" for a 4 hour show.
9. EVERY "bit" has a four minute set-up.
8. Jery keeps "pretending" that Randy "plays" the organ and likes his humor. Does he think we're that stupid?!?!?
7. Laura. What an extreme waste of space, thought, and time.
6. Tommy's un-ending stories about being a poor child without a dad. Earth to Tommy: Many of us got less than we deserved as children.... SO WHAT!!!???
5. Jeff thinks he is "Dr. Phil," or, "James Dobson." After many, many marriages....Jeff might realize marital and family advice is outside his expertise. He is the proverbial fat guy telling me how to make a healthy sandwich.
4. "Celebrity Who-saids?" Do they think we don't read People magazine???? Why not have a "People who are President" contest each Wednesday?
3. Your kids.... We don't care about your kids. We have our own. Your's are not more "special" or "talented," or, "more of a big deal..." If your kid lost a tooth -- WE DON'T CARE! Our's did too.
2. American Idol. Okay, we get that you're paid to "shill" for the show, but for God's sake, can't you EVER admit most of these people SUCK?!?! The William Hung "bit" was radio at it's WORST!!!!
1. And, the number one reason the J & J show "sucks."......the "stars" think we"get it."
J & J actually believe we "care" and are "part of the family." These old, out-dated, pathetic "Lewis and Martin" wanna-be's, should fold their 1982 material away and leave before they become the "Wille Mays of the Mets" broadcasters. They are "Ken and Bob." Is there anything more pathetic than old, "hip" men? Jeff is 51 and Jer is older....could they be less "hip?" The show should move to Sun City West and become the "cutting edge" of rock in Arizona!!

"For this amount of money, I would bus tables at Soup Plantation," Jer joked over lunch a week before the last broadcast.

Let's see, for a few million a year, he'd bus tables..? That's funny, because the guys and girls who ACTUALLY bus tables do it for...$7 or $8 dollars an hour. (maybe less)

Okay, here's the last part of Laura's diary entry today:
------------------------------------------------------
I'm thinkin' about taking the boys to see "Transformers" this afternoon. I'm not sure that little lady will like it, so I'll pick her up after the big show. I hope they haven't seen it already because I really want to see it. I don't have any interest in seeing that Rat movie. I really hope they haven't seen Transformers.
------------------------------------------------------

First off, if you don't want to call your kid by that horrible name, you shouldn't have named her Evan! (though i kinda like it) Stop calling her Little Lady, call her by her name like you do your son!

Second, when is she going to admit that she is NOT living with her kids? "I hope they haven't seen Transformers" totally shows how she doesn't have lengthy contact with her kids. And where is she picking up Little Lady? At daycare? No, she has that nanny, right? It just saddens me that she has no idea what movies her son has seen. What parent wouldn't know that basic kind of stuff?

What really bothers me too is how he tells what he ate to lose the weight. A handful of almonds, fruit and lots of water, blah, blah, blah. It's beyond me how he thinks that is healthy. You will lose weight eating like that but is it realistic? Are you going to eat like that the rest of your life? He may have lost alot of weight but he is still a short, fat, plain looking guy who gives me the creeps!

Last week or so someone said he needed a blogectomy

It was me on the blogectomy, and it's true - he totally needs one - maybe Dr. Bucko could take care of that for him. That whole freaking blog is all about how good, how kind, how amazing he is - well, he's had 3 months of that compared to his 40+ years of being a jerk. Many of us had crappy childhoods, and family members that died unnecessarily, and somehow, we all work through it without posting our every freaking feeling online.

Tommy: Go to Barnes and Noble and buy yourself a nice leather journal, and write all of your thoughts and feelings in there. One blog entry per day, please. And, maybe make it show related, as opposed to "how wonderful I am" related. We get it - and you know what? The more you tell us how "wonderful" you are, the more we believe otherwise.

I think the problem is, he can't post show-related stuff, because there's nothing new there, either.

Maybe it's time they move to Boise, where their lame crap may sound new to the farmfolk.

Okay, it took me a few seconds to get that - Christine, wasn't it? Were they engaged at some point also? I remember that whole freaking thing. The carwash, how he tracked her down through the listeners, and posted her picture. She was stunning, and we all knew that if she went for him, it would only be for his money. Not his winning personality or good looks.

Whatever happened with her? And he used to go on and on about a good friend who was always there for him, I thought THAT was his girlfriend at the time, but he liked this Christine. Her name was Marlow or Sharlow or something? Anyone remember this?

YoungAmerican

07-10-2007, 03:17 PM

I think it was Christy, the carwash/stripper girl.
And good ole Sharlow..... wasn't that the chick that cheated on her husband and then Tommy stalked her and then her and her husband had to move out of state to get away from him. Anyone know if this posting about Tommy was from Sharlows husband?
http://www.dontdatehimgirl.com/search/cheater.asp?ddh_id=53535&return_url=index.asp?

Tommy is really f'd up in the head. I remember him telling everyone on the showgram how he was seriously thinking of getting Sharlow's name tatoo'd on him even though there were not together because she is such an important person in his life and because she had such an impact on his life.

I have to add too that what this guy posted at dondatehimgrl.com about Tommy is so very true. I won something pretty nice from the radio a while back and Tommy asked for my number to call me back when it came in. (Don't people in the office usually do that kind of thing?) So he called me and asked me to try to come pick it up while the showgram was on and he would come out to the front and meet me and take me in to meet everyone. I said I would try. He called me back later that day and asked if I was coming in the next morning and I told him I wasn't sure when yet. He called later and left a voice mail message saying he hoped to see me the next morning. Needless to say, I went in during the afternoon so I would NOT have to meet any of them. :puke:

Hi!
I am new to the forum. I used to live in SD and I listened to the J&J showgram. I recently heard that Laura came out of rehab, so when I went to the J&J site today, I thought it was curious that they posted a Mojito recipe when one of their own is an alcoholic.

Okay, here's the last part of Laura's diary entry today:
------------------------------------------------------
I'm thinkin' about taking the boys to see "Transformers" this afternoon. I'm not sure that little lady will like it, so I'll pick her up after the big show. I hope they haven't seen it already because I really want to see it. I don't have any interest in seeing that Rat movie. I really hope they haven't seen Transformers.
------------------------------------------------------

I know I am little bit late and you all moved on to different subjects now, but I just have to put in my 2cents.

This entry tells me, it's all about what Laura wants. Laura like Transformers, so Laura will take the kids to see Transformers. Laura doesn't like the "rat" movie, so Laura won't take the kids to see the "rat" movie. mememememe

I know these two things for certain about Jeff and Tommy:

Tommy--One of my friends is very close friends of Dannell's and I know that Tommy had an affair that ended their marriage and Dannell was super sad. I have met Dannell a few times and she is really nice.

Jeff--My sister has a group of friends that knows Nina, Jeff's ex-wife. She has gone out with Nina a few times and apparently, Nina is (was??) very wild and a huge drinker. Jeff was always quiet and shy at the parties my sister saw him at. Nina cheated on Jeff with someone who works for the Padres, but I can't remember who--someone who is the corporate part of it though.

I think we'll all just have to see what kind of mother Laura will be in the future.

Unfortunately it looks like she is destined to be a single mother. Maybe we'll learn at some point how the marriage went south. Probably her substance abuse caused problems in the marriage. And with her parenting.

Hopefully they won't have money problems.

Everyone should count their blessings sometimes. And among Laura's blessing are her children and a job that pays a rumored six figure amount for four hours a day. Maybe there's some job challenges we don't know about, but how hard is it to sit there and crack jokes and laugh at the jokes of others while they are on the air?

Dilbert-1985

07-10-2007, 04:19 PM

I got the impression that Little Tommy had been in and out of relationships. So he cheated on his wife? He had said the reasons for the divorce were between him and Danelle and nobody else knows what happens with 2 people. Well, divorce is always sad esp. with kids involved.

So Tommy's divorced, Jeff is divorced twice, Jerry is divorced, and Laura is soon to be divorced, probably. So Randy, who is like the "Failure to Launch" guy, is the most stable one in his relationship with Debbie.

Was Laura serious this morning when they were talking about names and she asked if the name Gaylord was made up for "Meet the Fockers"????

How absolutely hilarious that Laura thought that the name Gaylord was "made up" for those two "Meet the Parents" movies!?! I guess it's because she didn't grow up in San Diego. Otherwise she would have known that Gaylord Perry was a well-known Padre in the 70's. Shoot, I'm not even a big baseball fan and I at least know that from going to Padres games as a kid back then.

Hi Everyone! :wavey: New to the board and I just love the thread you have going on here. :thumbup: It's just so much fun to deliciously rag on these sorry excuses for local radio personalities. They soooo ask for it!

Oh, I'm sure a lot of you may have already seen this--the link may have already been posted long ago in this thread--but I thought I'd re-hash it anyway for the newbies and anyone else who is curious. So here's the link to a retrospectively amusing "pre-rehab" video feature of Laura and her family by 10 News at their house trying to play up her whole "Working Mom/Happy Family" angle/facade:
http://www.10news.com/video/9632983/index.html
My favorite part is when she's going on about her newly redone kitchen courtesy of Bardon and how much she'll cook in it and Dave is laughing at the side like, "Yeah... RIGHT!"

Very strange to watch now... :rolleyes:
Does anyone know about when this news video feature was done?

Hey - Tommy *must* read this site....he has not written a blog entry since early yesterday morning!!

I think he just co-signed on Christy's new car - I don't think he bought it outright for her.

I also think it was a "bit" when he said he was going to get Sharlow's name as a tattoo - it had to be....who would be stupid enough to do THAT? (Yikes, I just did a Tommy-blog-all-capitals-thing)

You all are so right on about everything - from annoying all-caps blogs to stupid tattoo/car-buying decisions, to Laura's "I want to see the movie so who cares what my kids want" attitude to... and I cannot believe how much they all talk about parties, people who party (celebrity etc) and still discuss drinking etc. If they love Laura so much, wouldn't they do so much more to support her recovery?

Did anyone notice how fast Laura was quick to correct Delana this morning about the "cougar" comment? My god...she was so rude to her. I totally pictured Laura rolling her eyes saying it too.

I agree with you guys about the movie thing. She should be going out of her way to be with BOTH of her kids (Sorry for the caps!!!) Especially if the time aloud is brief. Poor kids.

Still no mention of meetings. Doubt she's going. She is to wrapped up in the social aspect of rehab-her "trouble" friends.

How weird was that about Jeff & his little recipe this morning too? Good Lord man. I must admit I was hanging on to see what laura would say. She corrected him too in the pronunciation of "Limon". :dead:

07-10-2007, 06:28 PM

Well, hopefully Laura is taking her rehab experience and committments to attend the AA meetings seriously.

If she doesn't we'll all know. Because if she disappears from the Showgram again as she did before, they can't just say "she's taking care of family business", followed by "It's more important that she be a mom right now" than being on the Showgram. Been there / done that.

I wonder if their contracts allow any penalty for things like drug use. Others here said she got paid her full paycheck during her 3 months in rehab. So I wonder what they would do with her if she fails to keep clean and sober and had to go to rehab again. Do people even do rehab multiple times?

I really do wish her the best and hope things work out with Dave somehow and that she can be a good mom. The things I read on this board make me wonder though..............

like this from his blog:
"I feel really good about LIFE right now, which I know sounds cheesy. I kind of feel HIGH right now. I’m sitting in front of my computer and I have this adrenaline going and I think it’s because I am focused and I’m alert on all things surrounding me right now and I just can’t wait to LIVE."

Hmmm! My true blue lib friends stopped listening a few years ago on the other station when J&J pontificated so politically conservatively! Go figure. I think they don't talk as much about politics now as when they were so rah-rah for going to war. They need to get back to the style they used to have a very very loooong time ago: ad-lib and honest.

From Laura's Blog: I'm a little melancholy because without Jenny or Kate up in Newport, I have no reason to ever visit my ol' 39th street residence ever again. I really truly had some special moments in that little duplex by the sea.

So let's get this straight. Instead of being happy that some people you know are finally well enough to leave a rehab place, you feel sad.

Laura only thinks about herself. Those poor kids are so low on her list of priorities. I hope Dave gets full custody.

For the record, Jeff and Jerry are each paid $3 million/year. Tommy's contract stipulates that he gets paid 1/2 of what they are paid -- $1.5 million.

So, even after child support obligations and lavishing those around him with gifts, Mr. Sablan still has plenty of money left to squander.

Ooops! I wasn't supposed to say that, was I?

07-10-2007, 08:57 PM

I just keep thinking of things about this group that annoys me... certain things that just stick in my mind like a piece of gum would stick to one's shoe... :spock:

Does anyone remember a while back--I don't regularly listen to the show so I can't say exactly when... they were talking about the "scary" movie scenes depicting alien abductions and "anal probes" or something to that effect (for example: that movie "Fire in the Sky" from the early 90's that starred D.B. Sweeney and the guy that played "The Terminator" in T2: Judgement Day) If I recall correctly, Jeff was doing this big cheesey build up (as usual!) of what the "scariest anal probe scene(?)" was from a movie--one that really chilling to him apparently--and his big punchline was "The gay sex scene from Brokeback Mountain!" Then the loud goofy "HAH HAH" from him and others in the studio (him of course laughing the loudest at his OWN joke--as he usually does!) and then quick cut to the commercial. I remember driving in my car and upon hearing that piece of lame humor, my mouth was literally hanging open from utter disgust. What a freakin' HOMOPHOBE, I thought. And it figures it would be Jeff--the annoying bible thumper of the bunch. His mind is so closed. Obviously he didn't care whatsoever about alienating himself from any gay listeners--especially male ones. However, I wouldn't see how any gay man could enjoy their show anyway. They skew more towards the SUV-driving "soccer mom" demo anyway, right? Though it actually kind of surprises me that Jeff would be such a homophobic a-hole considering how similar he and Jer are to a couple of senior queens strolling through Hillcrest on a Saturday afternoon. LOL!!!!

Anyway, it was no wonder to me that he went to commercial right afterwards because the "joke" was so demeaning, so tasteless, so insensitive, and just so outright STUPID that I know it would have otherwise just hung--DEAD:thud:"in the air" (as they so love to say) stinking up the studio. He probably anticipated this too. Now, I'm a straight, married female myself, but I am a strong believer in acceptance and equality of people regardless of race, sexual orientation, religion (well, except when there's an attempt of having it shoved down MY throat), etc. If I was disgusted with him before hearing this statement, I was even more disgusted afterwards. What a putz. Do you know what would TRULY be scary, Jeff??? Seeing you do the nasty with your latest troll-like wife!!!!!! Ewwwwww!!!!!!!!!!! :puke:

It was just so typcial of him to make such a simple-minded statement about gay men. Do you know what a gay male friend told me once? That not all gay men enjoy having anal sex! It is a crude generalization from those who are ignorant or fearful... like God-fearin', preachy Jeff himself.

Does anyone else recall this shining radio moment? Maybe more clearly than I do...? If anyone else does, please enlighten via post. I would hate to think I mistakenly took anything out of context. But something tells me that I didn't. :rolleyes: It might seem like I'm making an overly huge soapboxed deal out of this incident, but it has just really bugged me for a long time and it feels good to get the rant off my chest. It just exemplifies an ugly tone of intolerance and bigotry, in my opinion. This is not the type of crap that should be perpetuated to the masses. It's just unhealthy.

And yet another reason why they suck so much!

Jeff has a gay brother, huh? Well, it figures. I've seen this type of sh*t before. Those with gay siblings/family members seem to have the biggest fear and resentment of homosexuality since it hits so close to home. Can you say, "closet case???"

As for the possibility of Laura and Tommy being an item in the wake of all this drama--that would definitely be an easy story to swallow. I personally wouldn't doubt it for a second. Especially with Tommy's obvious history of preying on women. Laura is definitely in a vulnerable space these days.

Tommy and Laura hooking up? That's a great example to set for his children who are currently living with him practically full time.

Tommy's mother should be ashamed of his outlook on women. He talks so frequently about how much he loves his mom, and what a great lady/mom she was (and I'm not questioning that, so please nobody tell me to stop attacking his mom...I'm definitely not)...but I can't imagine she ever implied to Tommy that it was alright to treat women the way he does.

I have a question for the married men who post here...Do any of you make comments similar to Jerry about women other than your wife? Do you think those comments are disrespectful to Pam?

My husband and I are fairly young (Him-28, me-26), but we're definitely old fashioned (maybe it has to do with where we were raised?), and he would never disrespect me by speaking of other women that way. He has refused to listen to the show for quite some time large in part to Tommy, and Jerry's comments.

I think I would switch stations if he was in the car for my whole drive to work - many mornings I've felt that the subject matter was totally inappropriate for kids to listen to (example - this morning when they were going on and on and on about Scott Baio's one night stand with :puke: Liza Minelli...try explaining THAT to your kids!)

I'm almost too embarrased to admit that I called them once to tell my story about something they were talking about on the air. Tommy liked the premise of my story, but gave me "suggestions" on how MY (sorry, I couldn't resist :winkie: ) story should unfold. The arrogant a**hole completely changed my story. I hung up. You can lose weight, but you can't lose stupid. :stupid:

That's okay, Lipstick. It's a perfectly human urge to call in and share stories on the air. The same urge has happened to me too. Not specifically in the case of their show, but I have called in to try to share stories with other radio DJs/shows. That's so lame that Tommy manipulated your story. Not surprising though. A lot of their on-air material sounds so phony--totally doctored to create hype and drive ratings. Pathetic! :2far:

"a alot of their on-air material sounds so phony"???!!!

A lot??!! How about all! This show is not "real" life. Every call is screened and "adjusted." The "hosts" NEVER answer a call without knowing who is calling and what they will be saying.

If the caller is critical toward the "bit," they are dumped.

I don't fault the "stars" for doing their jobs....I just fault them for being so trite and phony while doing so.. Jeff is a fraud and Jer is an obnoxious, pretentious, ass.

You're absolutely right, InsightByJake--ALL their on-air caller material is phony and always pre-screened so as to not rock their precious boat. All the better to fuel the Saccharine Showgram Machine!

I can't believe no Tommy Blog today either. And the Powered by LA Weight Loss should be explained Maybe he is doing several meetings today with Laura. A while back (maybe 6 mos ago) I emailed him about something and then in passing said something about his addictions.

Anyway, Tommy emailed me back and said, Addictions? I don't have any addictions. I thought....hmm, you don't? The women, drinking and maybe gambling. A year or two or three ago, I turned the TV on and saw him interviewed on the news at a casino. This happened on two different occasions. I think one of the times there was a fire or a shooting and he was there at the same time. Now, his main addiction is Cowles, Iron Mtn., etc. It appears that when he does something, he does it to the extreme. His weight loss is amazing....and I do applaud him for that!

If Laura and Tommy are indeed having a relationship (I tend to believe they are not even if he is allowing her to stay there temporarily) does that not go agst the AA program that tells you to avoid relationships for one year?

(I am not a drinker. I hate the taste...but my ex hubby was) And Jeff's hooch recipe on the website is truly in poor taste given Laura's serious situation. As Dr. Phil would say, "Jeff, what were you thinking?"
Some wonder if the funny thing Laura reveals this week is "a boob job." If so, then that is astounding. I can't even think that could be it because it would seem like the most wrong time to make a cosmetic change seeing as most people would think her situation would classify as the lowest point in their life.. ..away from their kids, marriage in trouble,etc.) "Hmmmm, my hubby has left me; I am separated from my kids...life sucks...maybe new boobs will save the day!" I hope I am wrong.

Not to mention when you recover from any surgery you will need pain pills, and I don't think most experts would agree that an addict should be doing pain pills at such a crucial time. Also, don't docs screen/counsel prospects to see why they are doing cosmetic surgeries so that they are having surgeries for the right reasons?

Hey, maybe they should have someone on the Showgram like Dr. Drew Pinsky or Dr. Phil who can talk about addictions. It could be as a public service and might be a way to create a "positive" with Laura just coming out of rehab.

One last Tommy thing and I am not making this up. He went thru his divorce at the same time I went through mine (no affairs or kids on my part...just the hubby drinking). On the day I learned he was divorcing, I felt bad for him because I knew just how painful it was. So I emailed him to tell him I was sorry and that I could relate. That's all. I am not lying when I say Tommy totally appeared to me to be on the prowl in his reply. My friends even agreed with me.

Especially since Jeff is known to be a non-drinker for the most part. He's the one usually drinking a diet soda at public events and never gets drunk. His ex-wife's drinking and partying habits is what led to his divorce. It's almost as if he went out of his way to put up a drink recipe as his top 5 things just to poke fun at Laura's situation.

Wow. Interesting stuff about Tommy. I always thought the jokes on the show were an "image" created by J&J. Even if it is real, it's kind of creepy for everyone to make jokes about it...like they condone this sexual harrassment of women. Nice morals...especially for the bible thumper Jeff.
An another rant: I cannot stand how they talk about their kids. Didn't he buy his daughter an LV purse? No kid needs that. And no one cares that your son loves skateboarding. So, Tommy, since I know your reading this, take Eddie's SPONSORED pictures off the website. :wavey2:

Yes it was dear ole' Charlie Cain. Jeff intro'd the clip with "And Laura being the stage mom she is". They did not say what time all this transpired but my kids went to the midnight show and they headed out about 10:30. :rolleyes:

Just watched the clip and he was interviewed earlier in the day. My bad for "assuming".

Like either one of them will follow the rules? Well, of course, Tommy's not addicted...although it sure looks like it runs in his family, including his Mom who enjoys hanging out at the Casino(s) all day. But of course, he's different. And of course, Laura "did her time" so she doesn't have to follow the rules...

I know Tommy is a pig, it's been proven over and over, but now, if the station, AND the other members of the Showgram are aware that he is trolling on the phones for "dates," that is even worse.

All you folks out there who work in any kind of corporate setting...if someone was trolling customers, how long would they stay with the company? You are who you hire, you know.

I've had two male friends go through a divorce, and DURING their separation, the wives went and had breast augmentations! I never talked to the first friend's ex about it, but with the second friend's ex, I asked, "Is this really a good time for this?" (She was supposedly trying to "heal" their marriage at the time)

But she said it was "for her" and no one else, not to date other men or anything, but for her to feel better about herself. I called bull****, and sure enough, she went through with the divorce, and she and her big ol' boobs are having a great time at the bars letting men by her and The Girls drinks all night. :disa:

Somehow I don't think Little Tommy would be happy to get questions about spousal abuse on his part.

I think he also had been stalking somebody in the past?

But then he also helped get the sponsorship of Becky's House going. How's that for ironic happenings?

Maybe he's all out there for Becky's House because he knows the type of things he did to women? And maybe he has changed?

Ok, so what's the rumor about Laura Cain and infidelity? Did she cheat on Dave and damage the marriage, even before rehab?

Then again I do think she damaged the marriage and the family by her substance abuse. Then again, it was tough timing with Dave filing for separation right as Laura returned from rehab.

O.B.ehave!

07-11-2007, 09:47 AM

So maybe we can take Tommy at his word that he's not in any kind of relationship with Laura, and that he thinks of her like a little sister. But considering some of what people say, Tommy is a long-term "womanizer" (do people use that word anymore?) and when you consider that he's unattached, and Laura is unattached, and she's a "damsel in distress" that he's working to rescue from her problems, well...........add it up and nobody here would be surprised if they did hook up together.

Hey, stranger things have happened. There a lot of emotionally weak, depraved, and overall f*cked up folks that work in the radio biz... especially within the ranks of the on-air "talent" (term loosely used here). I know this... :rolleyes:

Dilbert-1985

I wonder if the radio business or entertainment business in general, attracts these type of messed up people? Or if the nature of the business causes changes in people? Like people can think they are very self-important when they become celebrities?

I think Jeff has said he would have been ADHD if that was diagnosed back when he was a kid. And he said his teachers had told his parents he would never hold a job and would have problems in life because of that. Yet here he is a celebrity in San Diego and making millions.

Little Tommy frequently says how he grew up on the streets, and makes it sound like he was in a gang or something. Now look at him, a very successful producer dude in the radio business.

I think any field where you are "out in front" of the public and in the "entertainment field" attracts both those with already hyper inflated egos, as well as those with egos starving for attention with the capacity to grow to hyperinflated ego.

I know there are many, many well-adjusted folks in all the entertainment fields who enjoy their lives. I just saw an interview with Bon Jovi, and whether he lives it or not, I don't know, but he has the idea that you separate this from who you really are...you don't use it as a crutch in your real life social settings, and you don't try to use it as a screen in your personal life with your family, etc.

While long ago, Laura was somewhat of a fun, creative and entertaining person when she was first on the show, she definitely has hit hyper overinflation of the ego, and is tiresome and self-centered like the rest of the crew.

Dilbert-1985

07-11-2007, 11:29 AM

sorry if this is re-stating something already discussed, but:

I almost laugh out loud that Little Tommy's weight loss blog is sponsored by L.A. Weight Loss centers.

Is he on an L.A. weight loss program? I thought he was eating better and exercising just on his own and not as part of an organized weight loss program. Did he reveal he's doing this as an advertisement for L.A. Weight Loss? Maybe I missed that?

Anyway, it sure sounds like a commercial endorsement. Would make for good TV commercials. for example :

"Look at me, Little Tommy. I wasn't so little, till I went to L.A. Weight Loss Centers. Now I'm getting littler all the time, so I can live up to the nickname. 50 pounds and counting." yadda, yadda, yadda.

I absolutely agree, which is what the first friend's wife did. For my other poor friend, it was when they were still living together (he on the couch) and she'd been "thinking" about it for a long time, she said. Hell, he even went to the doctor for the initial consult. She did pay for them though, or at least that's what we've been led to believe.

In any case, I'm ready for Laura to admit to having a boob job any day now...though I'm not holding my breath. Like everything else about this show, they'll drag it on for weeks most likely.

I wasn't pointing out or even concerned with how Laura or anyone else from the show would feel about the comments about the children. I was commenting on the negative, distasteful reflection on those that choose to make hurtful, and immature comments about children who have no choice in who their parents are and how they are being raised. They simply do not deserve it and I think it is despicable for a grown adult to pick on a child, no matter who their parents are.

I don't get this. Laura was in rehab, and they want sympathy for her that she had addiction problems, and went to rehab. So far, so good. Then, she's also started talking about her marriage falling apart and the detectives here have found that Dave filed for legal separation. So we can feel some sympathy for Laura that she's going through a rough time, between the addictions, marriage failing, and taking care of her children through all of this.

But then, if they are going to tell us she has another major life change, and that change was breast enhancement, what sympathy can we have for her then? I will be interested to see if they admit she's had that done, but, I certainly wouldn't feel any sympathy to her about an elective procedure. How could they really get sympathy? Would they say Dave left her, so she's got to use all her "assets" so to speak, to find a new man? It strains believeability if they go there. Sounds like a subject to stay away from.

I see your way of thinking, SDD. The kids have no choice on who their parents are.

I think the comments on the kids, however, are a direct reflection on their parents. I comment on her daughter becoming a future stripper because of how Laura is raising her.

My thoughts are if you don't want us to comment on your children then don't talk about them all the time.

But Laura is a "stage mom" and has to have her kids get as much attention as her. If that's the case, then don't complain when people make comments that are related to the topic.

I do agree that outright attacks are wrong but the kids shouldn't be off limits simply because they are kids.

Today's conversation is interesting. Is it unfair to pick on kids? Of course! Is it funny to make a reference (as Boris did)? Of course! Therein lies the problem. It's the old, "If I laugh -- it's funny."

I will say, the conversation reminds me of one of the all-time great "Simpson's" moment involving Homer and Lisa.

Homer was making fun of someone and Lisa was feeling sorry for them.

Lisa: "It's really easy to make fun of people Dad."

For the record, Jeff and Jerry are each paid $3 million/year. Tommy's contract stipulates that he gets paid 1/2 of what they are paid -- $1.5 million.

So, even after child support obligations and lavishing those around him with gifts, Mr. Sablan still has plenty of money left to squander.

It must really irk Tommy that his ex-wife is now set for life because of his infidelities knowing she is now continuing to fund a lavish lifestyle with other men thanks to Tommy's paycheck. It serves Tommy right. Based on my calculations and California law, Donnell is getting over $250,000 a year from Tommy for life or until she remarries. But really, who in their right mind would get remarried if it meant giving up all that money. Here's a good reason to use caps. YOU GO DONNELL!!!
