San Diego - 94.1 FM J&J Morning Show Drama Club Thread

**Scrapper** · 07-04-2007, 11:14 PM

The show is definately lame since leaving 100.7 and we like to complain about it, it's what we do best! LOL.

I wish Laura would go away for good, but it doesn't look like this happening anytime soon.

If she was really "shipped" off - ala, "ordered" to go to rehab, I'd assume it was an ultimatum from davecain, unless, remember when they share "secrets" and one person has been arrested? I wonder if it was her.

And a Jerry thing that is trivial, but I need to vent about it,here goes - Remember when he posted the video of "his" cat flushing the toilet within the last 6 months or so? I ran across that same video clip later on another you tube type site, and noticed it was originally posted way before Jerry posted it on the 94 website. I think he even dubbed his own voice on it, and presented it as his own. MEGA LAMER! Time to retire dude - give iet up, it ain't funny anymore!!

I bet you Bob Bollinger approved it. I wish he'd adopt me!

**surfing_texan** · 07-04-2007, 11:59 PM

My assumption was that she was somehow "sentenced" by the state/county and was initially going to attend a local center, and when Tommy went to see her, he arranged/paid for the private, and more "upscale" facilities. On a slightly different subject, I think it was completely irresponsible of him to provide "contriband" for the other people at the local center Laura was in. There is a reason they are not allowed to have candy, burritos, soda, and whatever else he snuck in. Obviously Tommy hasn't learned how serious addiction and the recovery process is from his Brothers as he claims he has.

**OneKidOneDogMom** · 07-05-2007, 06:58 AM

They have a teaser up for Tommy's new blog entry, but it's not posted yet...

When it does post today, can someone please copy and paste the pertinent parts? (My work surf-blocks the blog pages on the Star website)

I'm dying to know why Tommy has backed off on attending meetings with Laura - maybe he got a clue that he can't "drag" her through recovery?

**Ritchie** · 07-05-2007, 07:11 AM

Wow, there are a lot of new posts from new users here.

Looks like someone from the show figured out how to register multiple accounts. Someone like New Reader maybe.

**momofthree** · 07-05-2007, 07:40 AM

Here's Tommy's reasons for not going to the meetings w/ Laura.

"One more NON weight thing. As you know, I’ve been in to those meetings I’ve been going to with Laura. I love going as you could read for yourself, but after I got this one email the other day, I realized I needed to step back a tiny bit from the meetings, because I was making it about ME. My excitement about the meetings was making Laura’s want and need to go secondary to my wanting to go, which I didn’t see happening. It’s true. I was looking on line for the next meeting to go to all the time and I forgot about that I needed to just be there with her IF AND WHEN she wanted me to. So, hopefully she’ll ask me to go, because I do really like going but I needed to step back a bit. Did that make sense?"

Well, I'm not New Reader

I have been trying to post for weeks, but there was a screw-up on the registration process (as several others have noted, too).

Thanks, MomofThree, for posting that part of Tommy's blog. I figured someone had finally clued him in to the fact that Laura needs to want to go to the meeting of her own free will, not be "dragged" there by someone else.

On a side note, I cannot stand all the laughing and repeating that goes on on the show these days - it takes them 20 minutes to get through a 5 minute bit because Randy and Laura can't stop laughing and both Jeff and Jer feel the need to keep repeating the set-up....argh!

25k for a deluxe rehab facility for someone who is now single and available for Tommy to do with as he pleases is nothing. Anyone remember the 50k Lincoln Navigator he bought the car wash girl for putting up with him and continuing to sleep with him?

**newgal** · 07-05-2007, 08:07 AM

First of all I am NOT newreader!! I have been reading this blog for a couple months now and I LOVE IT!! I listen to the show but more because I have some sick obsession, they definitely are not what they used to be. Randy is an idiot who needs to be a man (he is in his 40's after all) and move out of his parents house and Jer is a total perv. I can't believe that he gets away with most of the things that come out of his mouth. Especially since it's supposed to be a "family show", well maybe for some sick family that would be acceptable! I also listen so that I can follow this blog and know what is going on so it all makes more sense. I too think that they should give us what they promised and tell us the whole story about Laura being in rehab. Again - I have some sort of sick obsession with all of this. Thanks for the entertainment!! (oh, and I hope I am doing this right as this is my first time posting - same glitch as everyone else!!)

**YoungAmerican** · 07-05-2007, 08:46 AM

Wow, it took me a little while to catch up on the last couple of days of postings. Welcome to all the new posters, you all pretty much sound like you will fit right in here. I only tuned in to the show for about 10 min. this morning and got really sick and tired of hearing them keep saying how they couldn't believe they were at work today. They complain so much about not having had a vacation in a few weeks and about having to work right after a middle of the week holiday etc.... they try to make a joke of it but it really turns alot of people off how they always come off sounding like they are soooo much better than the rest of us working stiffs. They don't appreciate getting a day off, just resent that the station didn't let them have off the rest of the week.

**Wabbitsd** · 07-05-2007, 08:57 AM

Maybe the odd-folk-out are just buddies of NewReader, since she kinda lacked much of a group that agreed with her. But it does seem as though some other new people have signed on, and welcome to them. New Reader and buds, come on. Get lost.

As we found out, if the New Reader crew get cranky, we can put them on "ignore..."

Someone asked why Chip is hanging with post-rehab Laura...did you see where Chip went with Laura's sister (or was it her Mom or both, I don't remember) to visit her WHILE she was in rehab.

It floors me that someone would allow their child to go like that...sure, they probably went up to Disneyland, or Magic Mountain after the visit with the "Big Deal of San Diego..." but honestly.

My theory is that Laura was busted for driving under the influence...remember that bit where she had to kind of mysteriously own up to being arrested? I think that was the initial mandatory rehab...then Tommy came and saved the day--he probably has had several wealthy connections go through a similar route-around the sentence thing.

I honestly like the rest of the folks on the show. Tommy and Laura need to go...or let them stay, but shut off their doggone mikes. I really liked Delana as an addition to the show. She's the kind of PROFESSIONAL they need. These two other social loser-dropouts should pack up and move on.

**Dilbert-1985** · 07-05-2007, 09:16 AM

I noticed this morning that Laura said that Dave took the kids to the fair yesterday, while she went off with her pals from rehab to do things. I think that's the first time she has mentioned Dave at all since she's been back.

Do we know if Laura is living in the Cain family house? Is Dave living somewhere else, or is Laura living somewhere else since they have the legal separation?

I thought it sounded odd that she casually mentioned Dave took the kids somewhere as if they all live together as one happy family. She hasn't said anything about her and Dave, but those of us "in the know" on this site know that Dave filed for legal separation, and Little Tommy's blog has said that if certain subjects haven't been discussed, that we can all make an educated guess as to what's going on.

And do we know how much rehab cost, and who paid for it? Does health insurance pay for rehab treatment?

Does anyone know more about the events that sent Laura to rehab?

**SadSadSad** · 07-05-2007, 09:24 AM

Been a lurker for 2 years now. Actually found this site after Little Tommy accused me of reading the "negative threads" out there after I sent him an email telling him it would probably be best he doesn't talk about his personal life because it makes him sound like an ass. He was so defensive and angry my curiosity was peaked and I googled until I found you guys. I have been a listener since the Y95 days when it used to be all fun and games. When they used to do hysterical bits like rigging the talking Christmas tree in Target and insulting customers as they came in. The showgram has been a Clusterf@#* for quite a few years now. Hence my name, SadSadSad. Tommy is nothing but a PIG when it comes to women. He lies so much he doesn't know himself what the truth is anymore. And Laura is just a mess who obviously likes partying more than her children. If the two had one brain cell they would realize they should stop saying and writing stuff about their personal lives because they are just confirming they are the self absorbed vapid souls we all think they are.

**Dilbert-1985** · 07-05-2007, 10:40 AM

Laura's diary from this morning states that she and Davecain are not together "right now". So she's acknowledging the separation, but could be that they are not headed for divorce but could still work it all out. I hope they can for the kids sake. She said it's been hard to write the diary because she had to dance around the fact that she and Dave aren't together. So maybe we'll learn more now that this fact is out in the open.

When they are good (and original), they are very good. When they're mediocre and copycat, they're just plain bad. I just keep hoping that something will click again and they will get better!

Yes, yes, yes. What you said.
I miss the old-funny-Jeff and Jer.
At least I can come here and have a laugh.

**SDchick** · 07-05-2007, 11:11 AM

Hi Everyone, I'm a first time poster, long time lurker here... I've REALLY enjoyed reading everyone's thoughts and ideas. I don't really have anything insightful to add, I just wanted to intro myself...

I find I go here and to tommy's stupid blogs more than I listen to their showgram nowadays! They've gone SO downhill since Laura's return, it seems. What finally broke the back for me was when they used 3 DAYS of air time to do Jerry's stupid joke-experiment. And each time they did it, they prepped it for 3 minutes, went to commericals, then came back and prepped it again for us. Give me a break!

I'm glad to be here.

**Carol** · 07-05-2007, 11:23 AM

Long time lurker, first time poster and I too got caught in the glitch when I tried to post my little tid bit.

Anyways..somebody asked how I know she checked out of the marriage. I don't know that as fact, I'm just saying...a person who cares more about drinking, doing drugs, shopping, hair extentions, and all the other superficial things Laura focused on is not so into their marriage.

I have a friend who knows that I frequent this website. She was in the clear channel building in the past 12 days, and over heard a group of other morning show DJ's talking about the situation with Laura and her husband. My friend told me that Dave surprised Laura with the seperation at either the end of her rehab stint, or RIGHT when she got back home. I forget what she told me

sorry.

I also wanted to add, that I LOOOOVVEEEDD this old diary entry of Laura's from Feb 21st, 2007.

"I may be a shopping addict. I was thinking about it as I browsed through the Travertini and James Jeans section at Bloomies yesterday. Before I arrived at Bloomies, I was kinda stressed out, kinda aggro, kinda pissy. The minute I got into the store and started looking around at stuff, my heart rate slowed down and I felt way more calm. Isn't that why we drink or take drugs? Oh boy. The good news is that I had a gift card in my wallet for a hundred bucks so I didn't spend a stupid amount of money. The other positive news is that I recognize my potential problem"

Yes, its a good thing she recognized her potential shopping problem....

I guess the main thing is she is trying to get control of herself
now, and hopefully be the best mother she can be. Children deserve the best, so hopefully she can get her life together.

**Trixie** · 07-05-2007, 11:52 AM

I remember the Y-95 days and the 100.7 FM days, and now it is just another set of digits on the radio (or website).
I usually listen in the car during the morning drive. I recently, since 2007, started listening to the live-streaming during my morning work, when I'm at my desk. Even more recent, I've been reading Tommy's Blogs, Laura's Diary's (had to start back in January of this year to get current, and am currently reading the archived from a year ago). And most recently, I found this website GotApex.
I have no idea about anything GotApex does, but after lurking about 2 weeks, I signed up!
So, for my equation of everything J&J, it is sort of like this:
Radio Program On-Air + Tommy's Blogs + Laura's Diary = 75% of the truth.
When you add in this GotApex J&J Drama Club Thread you get the total of 100% truth.
I come here to get the blanks filled in, or something like that. I love a good mystery, hence my user name Trixie. From the Trixie Beldon mystery books.

**Dilbert-1985** · 07-05-2007, 12:07 PM

Of course, they don't have to reveal everything on the air, but with Laura going public with her addictions, I hope now that she will go all the way with it and talk about her and Dave. She thanked so many people for their support while she was in rehab, but no mention of Dave at all. Maybe Dave wasn't supportive, and if so, is there a reason why?

Now she is admitting that she and Dave are not together, but is not telling us reasons. If she's going to go all the way with being public and her recovery, she should talk about what led to her going to rehab. She stated that she was "shipped off" to rehab, which makes it sound like it wasn't her choice. Did Dave give her an ultimatum about her addictions? Was she bleeding the family dry, financially, due to her addictions and careless spending?

I would love to know how she ended up in rehab, who made the decision, and whether she sees the consequences of addictions. And I would love to know if her problems played a role in their marital problems. It's hard to believe they had no effect, but then again you never know what happens privately with 2 people.

**longcommute** · 07-05-2007, 01:10 PM

Yes I'm new here, no I'm not New Reader (who I agree is probably Little Tommy) or Longtimelistenr. I've been lurking since January or so and find this thread very entertaining! I listen to J&J sporadically during my commute when my other stations are doing ads...have been in SD now for about 8 years. Started reading Tommy's blog when he began it mainly out of curiosity--fascinating studies in psychopathology!!!

I found it quite interesting that Jer didn't mention Laura ONCE (at least the parts I heard) the entire time she was gone. And the choice of Coldplay's Fix You to welcome her back was just awful. I know Laura/Charlie love that song, but reminding her to "get a fix" or that she needs other people to "fix" her (rather than facing her issues herself) seems like really bad taste.

Anyone else listening today when Delayna was trying to do the news and Jeff/Tommy totally cut her off twice to talk about the Pier 1 outlet closing, and then wouldn't let her finish the news segment at all? Seemed interesting that they cut her off when she was trying to do the Al Gore III story about his arrest related to speeding and drugs. Coincidence? Let the girl do her job and sorry if the news hits a little too close to home!

And TG Tommy has figured out that he shouldn't be so involved in getting Laura to meetings. He has some serious guilt issues and it's too bad he's just figuring out some of his parenting problems now, when it's a little too late.

**YoungAmerican** · 07-05-2007, 01:18 PM

Jeff & Jer both talk over others all the time. It has upset me for years, someone (Laura or Delana, anyone) would be talking about the traffic, weather, some other news item and they just cut in and on top of it and alot of times the person never gets to finish the story. Very nerve wrecking! Just one more item to add to the ever growing list of reasons why they annoy the CRAP out of me. It will be a great great day in San Diego when they finally retire.

PS, anyone else find it kinda funny (strange) too that they keep playing that song "they tried to make me go to rehab" in the background all the time. How much of a joke are they making of this whole thing?

I was listening during my short commute while Delayna was doing news that didn't make the news. I didn't notice how Jerr/Tommy cut her off, but sure it would be annoying. But what was more annoying to me was Laura said "What" about certain news during a span of 2 minutes. I think her voice is still pretty nasal.

**eyeseeyou** · 07-05-2007, 01:50 PM

Well at least laura FINALLY said something about Davecain...BTW...doesn't Laura have ANY girlfriends? It's always guys she's hanging out with, or at least talking about.
I miss the old J&J so much. I really want them (J&J) to step up and talk about how Laura's addiction has affected them on the air as well as off. They need to address it, because the anger comes across definitely in Jer's voice. I'd even take RANDY'S thoughts at this point.

**SadSadSad** · 07-05-2007, 01:51 PM

Can someone please tell me what if Tommy's son's Eddie is part of the show now? That would be the only reason I can think of that there are always notices and pictures about Eddie's skating on the webpage. Or maybe Eddie is the only skater in San Diego???

**eyeseeyou** · 07-05-2007, 01:54 PM

I agree with SadSadSad....next it will be Eddie cartin' Laura off to meetings!!! Then Vanessa doing Chic Chat along with the outfit of the week.

**longtimereader** · 07-05-2007, 01:59 PM

Anyone know when Jeff and Jer's contract with Clear Channel and Star is up? It's none too soon...

**YoungAmerican** · 07-05-2007, 02:05 PM

Face it, they have an iron clad contract. They get the big bucks no matter how crappy their show is and how little effort they put into it. It's been mentioned many times before that at the end of this contract the Jer part of Jeff & Jer will probably be done and who knows what dysfunctional hybrid will be born out of what is left. Until the sponsers in this city and radio station executives get the message from the listeners that we want something new and fresh they will keep fighting to sign these pathetic losers. What is even sadder is how pathetic it shows the San Diego radio listeners to be to keep this group of a-holes rated #1 in the morning! If they only had a clue like we here all do!

It makes me gag when I hear some of the people that call into the radio show fawning over Laura, Tommy or Jeff, crying, blubbering...... get a grip San Diego. If some fake radio personalities are your "best friends" you have some serious, serious problems.

**Wabbitsd** · 07-05-2007, 02:05 PM

and also, Laura's son Charlie, aka as "Son of Big Deal Laura Cain..." can do some bits on the show as well, giving her time to nap and nip (at the bottle).

You know who hasn't been here in a while? Boris. Come back, Boris!!!

**insightbyjake** · 07-05-2007, 02:21 PM

Nice thread you all have. May I join in?

Quick thoughts:

1. The anger read into many comments seems to match my own frustration with the fact that this is a "show" -- a pretend mix of fixed bits, borrowed ideas, repetitive brain candy that tries to sell itself as being original. Fake phone callers with contrived problems in order to generate "11 calls says it all," is NOT clever programming.

2. I can't get past the "I'm straight but act gay," confusion. (Not that there's anything wrong with that....)
I know Jerry goes to Home Depot -- but he wears cologne and listens to Barry Mannilow, AND hangs Broadway musical porgrams in picture frames!!! Jeff drives a pick-up that hauls a 40-foot trailer -- but listens to Amy Grant and Faith Hill and can name shoe makers!!
They BOTH hosted a purse party?!?! And Jerry wears a kerchief
that he apparently got from Joey Bishop. Hey Jerry, 1951 called -- they want their ascot back ASAP!

3. Most blatantly -- the show preaches "It's for the kids.." and "Family values..." but the collective behavior of the "stars" certainly shouts a different message. Let's see, if Laura's marriage fails that makes it a clean 5 failed out of 7 attempted marriages out of Jeff, Jer, Tommy and Laura.

Last thought for them -- Read Ralph Waldo Emerson. He has a quote that describes my angst:

"What you do speaks so loud, I cannot hear what you say."

Thanks for the time!!
