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

[apossible]

Dang, isn't his son just a little too old to be in the same bed with Kristen? Scary.

As Jeff mentioned this morning, his son slept in the same bed with Jeff's fiance. Now, isn't that special!

Don't you think it just a little ironic that this woman, going to Vegas to gamble, managed somehow (I'm sure Tommy had a big influence) in getting approval to take not one or two, but five of her female friends with her. Just now on J&J, Tommy is on the plane with these females, drunk and it is barely 8:00 a.m. Tommy sure did plan this "fantasy" well. Mainly his fantasy, not hers. Not sure about you guys, but this guy is big time low life. I feel bad for Christy. I'm sure Tommy can come across at first as being very charming. And then the real Tommy comes out. So Sad. Sick.

I am a personal freind of Christy's and the only reason she didn't press any charges on his stalking her or his harassment of her is because she is to nice a person. I told her to call the cops numerous times. She eventually had to change her phone numbers her e-mail address and her little brothers phone number because he was also harrassing him. I also offered to "talk" to him myself but she just wants the problem to go away.

I saw on SDRadio.net that the J&J Showgram is still rated number 1 in San Diego. I can't believe that!

I'd be VERY surprised if they were #1.

The ranking may be based on some criteria such as "morning radio show not including sports, news, or talkshow...broadcasting between 94.1 and 94.3 frequencies. :-)

It might be old data as well (Winter 2005)....I don't think the latest ratings have been released yet....but I may be wrong.

[arose]

Don't leave Arose. Present your points and we'll discuss. That's why this board is fun. My take is that the show REALLY stinks these days...convince me otherwise...make me a believer...show me some spunk...and you have my respect. :-)

P.S. Jeff and Jer = CSPAN

SPUNK! RESPECT! Ok...I can do that! But let me preface it with a disclosure...I try to live my day to day life without being cynical and/or being nasty, but, by gosh, I WILL BE HEARD!!
J&J didn't get to be the number one radio show in SD without listeners--like me and YOU...yes, ALL OF YOU at one time were/are listeners. They have maintained that status and they couldn't have done it without listeners and top ratings, so SOMEONE is listening...are any of you out there 'closet listeners'...listening but not admitting to it..huh? huh??
So [JER is a bit over the top! Heck, why not? He's living a great life and he adores his wife. How awesome is it that he is so proud of her and what they have, that he broadcasts it and shares it with all of us. Since I don't see myself becoming a world traveler as he is, I enjoy vicariously traveling via Jerry and Pam.
JEFFI'm sorry but who can't love a guy who shares his whole life with us!! TOUPEE OR NOT, he's totally a guy I could live next door to and hang with. He loves his family. HOW GREAT IS THAT!! So what if he and his sweetie aren't doin' it!! Whatever works for them is what works for them. You can't knock a guy for respecting his religion and his beliefs and trying to be a good Christian man. And he's such a loving Dad !!!
LAURA...she's another one who puts her whole life 'in the air' for us to hear and I think that's great also! So she's not the perfect Mother!OMG! Are any of us? As a Mother, we all know that there are PLENTY of women who try to portray that they are perfect ..NOT SO...(does the word STEPFORD, come to mind??) we all do goofy things that 'other folk' may think is a bit odd or that may make them say..."Oh Heavens, I would never do those things!"..to you I say...FOOEY!! YEAH, RIGHT LADY! Laura's a real Mom..just like us and she doesn't try to paint a fake picture of her life! (PS...If I could get free kitchen cabinets in my house by talking about it at work, you bet I'd do it!!)
RANDY...I don't have much to say about Randy but I am surprised that more of you on this thread don't bash him for living at home. For him, I say he's probably got a bigger bank account that those of us that moved out of the house at 18 and have been making mortgage and rent payments for the last 20 years or so!
RICK...I gotta say, I love this guy. Putting a mic in front of him was a wonderful idea. He's obviously a very talented guy...who again, I could hang with him and have a beer!
AND NOW..TOMMY...yes, it's terrible that he's got an abusive history but he's an awesome producer and a very important part of the show! As you know, he's also won awards, both locally and nationally for his radio talents! His personal life has no reflection on his professional life! Don't we all have 'ghosts' in our closet that we would not want to spill over into our professional lives?? Come on...EVERYONE has a secret...EVERYONE!!
In closing, let me say that I respect what all of you have to say and I hope you respect what I have said.
ONLEFTCOAST...I hope I've made you proud!

[Wabbitsd]

arose, it's just our initiation process. We've all jumped on one or another of the folks here at one time. It builds character. C'mon, at least you have to admit it's kinda creepy hearing Laura read commercials for her cabinets, for her Cox cable, for whatever else she can get for free...all in that same "I'm congested cause I'm a little hung over" voice of hers.

And you can't say you admire her for doing her kid's homework just so the teacher and other kids (cause you know how those other kids talk) don't think her (Laura's) son is ONE OF THOSE KIDS with parents who can't quite pull it together....can you?

And I like Jef, too. But please. He and his sweetie aren't "doing it?" I doubt that. I think they are just careful to keep it away from the kids, and that's fine.

I don't have problems with either Jef or Jer, they're ok by me. Quirks are fine. But I don't care for Laura. Randy's ok too...if he wants to live at home, that's his issue. He's his own guy, on his own terms.

Ric? came too late for me to rate him. He's ok. Just ok.

But I don't see Laura as a regular Mom. Most of the regular Moms don't need to take a nanny on vacation with just two small kids like she has. for heaven's sake.

[YoungAmerican]

arose, why put so much effort into telling us stuff we obviously don't see eye to eye on. We, for the most part, don't care too much for the "showgram". Many of us have just about totally STOPPED listening to them for all the reasons that have been quoted over and over and over again in this thread. You are not going to change anyone's mind here and you'd probably be a bit happier if you surfed around and found a "Loving the Jeff & Jer showgram" website/thread somewhere. No disrespect intended but most of us, here, on this thread, generally do not like the showgram anymore but we do enjoy coming to this "place" to talk about our dislike. Anyway, JMO.

Wabbitsd..thanks for making me feel like part of the family here. As I said above, I hope I passed my initiation???

I'm glad you're 'with me' on the majority of this stuff. I guess I concede a bit where Laura's concerned. Her nasally (sp) nose used to drive me buggy, but I appreciate how open she is about EVERYTHING-good and bad. I couldn't be so open!!!! Yes, the homework thing isn't quite right, nor is needing a nanny with 2 little ones, but I still love her too!
Thanks again.

[cadetevon]

With the professional traffic reports and weather and news that they have now, the showgram has had to find other stuff for Laura to do, which makes me sad because I dislike her SO MUCH.

Indeed, I believe if she were to find another job somewhere else doing anything other than riding J&J's coat tails, I'd start listening again. I'd even put up with Tommy if Laura was gone.

She has a horrible voice for radio and I just don't understand how she's made it this long.

[LoyalListner9]

AROSE:

You are poised and your message well said. It is so nice to have someone balance the scales. It is very clear the Jeff and Jer showgram has left their mark on you just as they intended. I am so glad you find enjoyment in listening to them. You have a great attitude, enjoy the rest of your day.

Just remember, they are entertainers, we have all seen reality TV shows, and we all know that the reality isn't exactly always so. That's all I have to say about that!

LOYALLISTENER9: Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you appreciate my point of view. I try to be a positive person. I'm glad that came thru.

As for J&J being entertainers...I am a reality TV fan, so I will very much keep that in mind.

TO ALL: Since you all have been so nice to me, I have decided to stay on this thread with you!

I still feel AROSE is from the showgram.

[arose]

I still feel AROSE is from the showgram.

HONEST! I'm just a regular person who happens to be a longtime listener. I yield no power in the swaying of minds via positive messaging!
I'm just a regular 'joe'....or in this case 'josie'.

[OnLeftCoast]

Kudos Arose!! You've created a pulse!! And created more reason for me to pummel the showgram... :-)

They have maintained that status and they couldn't have done it without listeners and top ratings, so SOMEONE is listening...are any of you out there 'closet listeners'...listening but not admitting to it..huh? huh??

I think the problem here is they haven't maintained the status. You have to admit that the show is not quite as original as it once was. Like I said before, the majority of the bits are slurps from other market areas (Lost, Idol, Becky's House, Cracky) Just another radio show with just another Clear channel script. Honestly....YAWN!!

So JER is a bit over the top!

Did you mean bent over?

JEFF I'm sorry but who can't love a guy who shares his whole life with us!!

I agree with you here...I respect Jeff for his values and he seems like a nice guy. Although, I feel the content was stale long ago ( Heck, its even covered with mold)

LAURA....just like us and she doesn't try to paint a fake picture of her life!

She doesn't have to paint a fake picture. She's fake in real life.

AND NOW..TOMMY As you know, he's also won awards, both locally and nationally for his radio talents!

I saw he got the Sweetwater High School alumni Hall of Fame. What an honor!!! It's a shame he doesn't have a college or a charity that will claim him. Since I'm a skeptic, I'd love to see these other "awards" he's received... Plus...what's he done in the last 5 years except get divorced, get arrested, get stoned, and get fat?

His personal life has no reflection on his professional life!

Oh really? I would lose my clearance and consequently my job if I had one charge of domestic abuse. A politician would be forced to resign or be impeached. A federal employee would be HISTORY. This dirtbag needs a wakeup call. NO ONE is above the law....no matter how many comps he gives to the cops. Slimeball. Jerk. Egotistical. Disgusting. Fake. Drug Addict.

I don't associate with wife beaters and drug addicts in my personal life and I certainly won't start now. BTW, these aren't freakin' "skeletons"...these are living, breathing, compounding problems. He needs serious help.

P.S. Jeff and Jer = PBS Colony of Ants Special

[Wabbitsd]

we really do need boris to check in, don't we?

I also don't feel like I need to know a lot of stuff for someone to be "real."...like when someone gets a staph-infected boil on their head.

Open is one thing. What Laura has going on is another thing.

And I'm done with Tommy, too. He puts on the act wayyyy more times than is warranted.

Now, on the horrible voice thing...the same station has Mel (Now I do like her, but her voice!!!!)

what is it with women in radio....why do they have to have screechy voices like that?

[arose]

Holey Moley...look at this..I have created a pulse!! And quite a strong one at that! OnLeftCoast...I return the 'kudos' as you inspired me to do so!

I totally respect your opinions, especially where Tommy is concerned. Being a wife, I also am not too fond of wife beaters!!! Just to clarify...When I said "His personal life has no reflection on his professional life!" I mean in how he performs his job. I was not defending his actions by any means!

Wabbitsd...I am SOOO with you on the Mel/voice thing. It's her screechy giggle that gets me!

[BecInCA]

I just have to chime in here now that arose has "arisen" in our midst.

I started listening the J&J way back when they were first in San Diego on Y95. I can even remember when Little Tommy went to New York to deliver roses to Ivana Trump shortly after her divorce from "the Donald" was finalized. I'll let you do the math on how many years ago that was...

Any hoo, I stuck with them all the way until the Showgram arrived at 94.1. That's when things started hit the skids for me. No more prank calls, no more stunts out and away from the station. It just doesn't have the same entertainment value that is used to have for me. I find myself channel surfing most mornings trying to find a morning show that keeps me smiling. So far, I'm still surfing... So arose, my response to you is that I am on this board because I feel like have company in my frustrations with the J&J show. I would love to be able to park on 94.1, but it just ain't working for me anymore. I am glad you still like the show, that's great- it's just unfortunate that this is not the place to find support for your view.

[arose]

I have 'arisen'...and now, I will climb back into obscurity. However I will continue to read this thread, so remember to give me a shout out every now and then so that I know you haven't forgotten me!
Thank you!
Lisa

If you had a husband that repeatedly cheated on you and lied about it and you found out, how close to being violent would you get? I think Tommy brings a lot of this on himself.

Careful Smitty. Let's reverse the sexes and see how that sounds.

I don't care what anyone does. No one deserves to be struck by a spouse.

I'm not defending Tommy in any way. The guy seems like a jerk to me, but just because he is a guy doesn't mean it's okay for a wife or girl to hit him.

The two occasions dirtbag pressed charges were actually a fabrication and a cover for his actions. e.g. If I've been assalted and threaten to press charges and the other party beats me to the punch..guess who looks guilty.

[Whiskers]

I'd be VERY surprised if they were #1.

This info is wrong The #1 and #2 stations were KIFM and KYXY. 94.1 was way now he list for the new book.

[krattchick]

I don't know who on this board complains about Laura's freebie cabinets (I'm too lazy to go back & reread). You know what's sad? I just took a look at her old cabinets (pics on their website) & they're WAY better than my cabinets! I'd love to have those ones she tore out of her house! A bit of jealousy here.....

[Ritchie]

Has anyone seen Boris? I'm a little worried.

Who else is going to say it like it is and let us know how bad a mom Laura is? Maybe I'll have to take up some of the slack.

Regarding fantasy week. I only got info from the site so I didn't hear anything on the air. Is it just me or were some of those rather weak.

I mean c'mon, shooting a computer? Betting a bunch of money? Driving through a wall? I just don't get it.

[GoEagles]

I didn't stick around long enough for the airplane landing, but no one in their right mind would get ina plane and let an inexperienced amatuer land it. This had to be fake.

[cadetevon]

So let's do this...what would your fantasy thing be? It has to be doable and mostly local, oh and not cost prohibitive.

[Wabbitsd]

good question, cadetevon...mine would be to ride a Thoroughbred at full speed on the turf track at Del Mar...how bout you?

kratt...maybe you could contact the showgram and see if they would sell the old cabinets to you! Or make them a prize of some sort! LOL!

[cadetevon]

There are lots of things I'd like to do.

*Surf

*Live rich for a day at a spa

*be an extra on a show or in a movie

*be a production assistant for a day

*be a batboy for the Padres...not a ball chaser like Nina

There are others I'm sure....but that's enough for now.

[Smitty]

So where is Laura today? Is she taking the week off to pack for the FREE house boat vacation she earned from plugging them so much? Rick did an EXCELLENT job doing the daily dirt today. I think he's way better than she is on the radio. We don't need Laura at all.

Clear Channel Commuincations: If you are reading this and are looking at ways to cut expenses just get rid of Laura!

[Ritchie]

So where is Laura today?

I'm traveling today so I listened on the internet. Sounded okay. I couldn't quite place why it wasn't as bad as usual.

Then I realized that I hadn't heard Laura chime in every 2 seconds.

Well suddenly they changed to "American Idol Radio All The Time" and I clicked on the close button for the window.

I guess if they could get rid of Laura and stop talking about American Idol every two minutes it might be tolerable.

[listener13]

I guess if they could get rid of Laura and stop talking about American Idol every two minutes it might be tolerable.

They're either talking about American Idol OR playing a Kelly Clarkson song. My husband asked me the other day if they've switched to an "All Kelly Clarkson" format.

[cadetevon]

Seriously, if they ever get rid of Laura, I'd come back as a listener. As it stands, I'll continue to get my J&J gossip and such from this board.
