Laura Cain: Out for one more month
Star 94.7‘ Little Tommy Sablan writes on Sunday: “I spoke with Laura yesterday! I miss her just like you do! Laura wants to be the one that tells you herself where she is, so please understand and respect that. All I want to say is that I have a brand new respect for her especially after last night. What Laura is doing most people fail, but she is not. She will be back soon, most likely in one more month. I know the rumors are flying around your home and office to where she might be and all I can say is this: I love Laura and I am so proud of her and you will too.
“It’s kind of funny as I THINK OF LAURA (hey wasn’t that a song)…..I’ve seen her almost everyday of my life for 14-15 years or so. There were times in the morning where we wouldn’t say a word to eachother except on the air and there’s times when she could feel that I was in a bad mood and she would come over to my side and say “okay, what’s wrong?” You really don’t ever realize what you have until it’s gone. Laura on her own needed to take some time off and from that first day off which coincidentally was my first day of dieting and exercising, I bonded with her in a huge way.
“I can’t wait for Laura to come back. When she does, I will be the one that says “ladies and gentlemen, please welcome back to the show my friend Laura Cain”….
Tuesday, April 17, 2007 at 8:15 pm
Okay….not to be morbid but,….. come on — when can we be honest? Two months off to deal with “family matters?” If not rehab…than what? This is a bad use of “prior trust,” by the Jeff & Jer show. Jeff was weak when he failed to admit,during the times he pontificated on “family values”, he was going through a divorce.
The show is a farce — the stars preach all about “Don’t do anything wrong” and “Christian values” but between the three main charectors, two on air stars and one producer, there are four divorces?!!!!
Hypocite = Jeff and Jer

I must know over 10 unemployed San Diego Broadcasters and this individual decides vanity is more important? If you don’t want your gig, dear — I know 10 who do.
Saturday, April 28, 2007 at 9:19 am
Not to mention Laura’s comment in one of her recent updates. “Did Jeff get tipsy off one glass of Chardonnay?” As a gastric bypass patient that gets inebriated from 1 glass myself that is a strong indicator to me right there that he had GBS. I could be mistaken, but isn’t he touting his weight loss success as “Diet and exercise”?
I realize that GBS is a personal choice and he isn’t obligated to disclose his personal details. But IMO he should give credit where credit is due if he’s going to talk about it at all.
Don’t be like Star Jones, yo.
Monday, April 30, 2007 at 1:15 pm
The two people who wrote the above must be exceptional humans. Never to have any personal problems, family issues or illness. They are truly blessed. I myself in my 57 years have lost a baby, raised two sons, one who had a drug problem, but who is now clean and sober, employed and a happy father himself. My husband left me, but that ended up being a good thing. I now live happily in San Diego. When I first moved here my Sister turned me on to Jeff & Jer at the other, other station. I had to drive quite a long way to work and Jeff, Jerr and Laura kept me company. Laura has shared her life good and not so good with us over the years, like friends do. Laura Cain is a friend, someone I can relate to. A person with a real life, real problems and a real heart. Hang in there Laura, jerks like the above have no class and no soul.

Tommy, I hope this reaches Laura:
We love her dearly and miss her profoundly. All the best to her and her family.
Tuesday, May 8, 2007 at 6:49 pm
I agree with number 3. Give me a break–you have no room to talk until you know the situations. First, I know for a fact that Jeff’s wife left him for another man–that is NOT Jeff’s fault. Laura is not gone for vanity purposes. If you have the ability to read between the lines you would know that…obviously, some people lack common sense.
Tuesday, May 8, 2007 at 8:37 pm
You know what KCGal? The 20+ broadcasters who have been downsized by Clear Channel, CBS, Lincoln, and Finest City — I’d wager have personal problems, bills that have to be paid, children, mortgages — but the problem is — THEY ARE NOT EMPLOYED, but want to be. Ms. Cain doesn’t seem to know what she wants, except…gee, losing weight would be nice.
The people who have lost THEIR jobs due to no reason of their own have real lives, real problems, and real hearts. I think you’ve fallen for the garbage that J & J have throwing out all these years.
Again, I will contend that there are 20+ unemployed people (at least) since the beginning of the year — but you, KC gal have no sympathy for them at all, do you? No — you shed crocodile tears for somebody who doesn’t WANT their job. Your emotions — are sadly misplaced. Ms. Cain gets all the ratings-grabbing attention — the others, are ignored.
Shame on you.
Tuesday, May 8, 2007 at 9:57 pm
Hey Nina Avery…. Laura Cain is NOT your friend… She is a fictional charector on a radio show, driven by ratings. We have “No class and no soul”? Try understanding that you have “No clue,” my friend. We — no I — complain about the silly world of radio people and listeners who somehow believe, they “know” each other. You are not friends — you are partners in the conglomerate world of radio braodcasting. Clear Channel would trade Laura Cain for Saddam Hussein IF it meant better ratings.
You, Nina Avery, live in a bubble,
Jerk Like the Above
Wednesday, May 9, 2007 at 7:58 pm
I agree with Nina Avery. No one can speak unless you know both sides of the story and none of us do. If other broadcasters have been fired and are good enough, they will find a job elsewhere…that’s how it goes.
And in response to #1, Jeff chose not to share something traumatic that happened in his life. What happened to his marriage had nothing to do with him; it was his ex-wife’s choice to leave him for another man.
Don’t comment until you know both sides.
Thursday, May 10, 2007 at 6:49 pm
Stop it with ‘both sides’ of the story, will ya? Whatever her problem is — in many ways, it’s none of your business, and why should we care?? Is this San Diego’s pitiful equivalent to Paris Hilton? Why should we care about Hilton? Why should we care about Cain?
If you people are living your life vicariously through these people — boy, you have problems beyond the scope of what I can possibly realize.
If you don’t realize that this could all be a rating stunt, you are fooling yourself. That’s what consultants tell personalities — BOND with your audience. Share your life — they’ll get hooked, and identify with you. (Never mind the fact that YOU, the listener WILL NEVER MEET these people) But as long as you remember ‘Laura Cain’s Soap Opera’ and write the station’s call letters down in your little ‘diary….’ that’s ALL that matters.
It’s the old saying, and it never rang more true — “Get A Life!” Hopefully, it’s your OWN.
Friday, May 11, 2007 at 5:43 pm
Truthteller–if you don’t care about Laura Cain then why are you here talking about her and how do you know so much about her? Get a Life!
Saturday, May 12, 2007 at 7:46 am
Basic humanity and empathy should tell us to care, even if we don’t “know” these people. They are real people with real lives and problems that we all face. Give them all a break, they are just trying to find their way, like we all are. All of this nastyness is distastefull!
Sunday, May 13, 2007 at 6:56 pm
Jim, you’d best be directing your thoughts at the others. I’m trying to tell them (must I have to say it?) the truth.
Your comment makes little — if any — sense.
Saturday, May 26, 2007 at 9:53 pm
First of all,
Tammy, we are so happy to hear about your weight loss successes, but you are very off the mark. Please go back to watching the View.
Laura, as you recall, has told us she gained 15 lbs as of a month ago. So your fat-ass theory is a little skewed.
Item 2.
For anybody with a brain, we know that she is at a re-hab facility in the Santa Barbara area (I have a close relative in that area and who has confirmed this). She is under-going a 90-day in-house re-hab for what is understood to be “nose-candy addition.” She is scheduled to complete this program and will return to the radio.
We will no doubt be told, when she returns, of the troubles and challenegs she faces each day, after many years of struggling with drugs and booze.
As many of you can recall, Laura’s “awakening” was the event of her son getting hurt on March 6. Apparently, this had a drastic impact on Laura and may have been the catalyst or the emergency doctors may have also suggested she seek help.
Item 3.
As for the “cry-babies” Jeff and Jer, their complaints about high gas prices seem disingenous as these two mutli-millionaires extend their vacations and probably haven’t filled their own vechicles in quite a while. Furthermore, both of them manuevered to get Rick Morton placed on the afternoon shift due to Morton’s greater raw talent as compared to these two hacks.
Item 4.
Jeff: Subdivides his kids like a developer subdivides a housing track. Jef should concentrate on raising his kids without trying to adopt just to placate his new toy wife.
Finally,
The Jeff and Jer show has become the radio version of the “View.” In fact, as a male, I find myself lactating and cramping up while listening to the show. To restore my scrotum, I’ll begin listening to KGB from now on.
Sincerely,
Carl

And I happen to know for a fact, that Jeff left his first wife for his second wife while on a Y95 cruise. So what goes around, comes around. But of course, he attends church and all, so all is forgiven.
Give me a break!
His kids, those are the ones I feel sorry for.

Truthteller: funny how someone who seems to be picking arguments with people on here is telling them to get a life…if i were you, i’d seriously consider GETTING A LIFE!….where the heck do you find the time? could it be that you’re just some bitter ex-radio employ that has decided to put down and trash talk those in difficult circumstances?
To all of you that want to argue about who has the better inside scope on Jeff & Jer and who did what and what was worse, look at yourseld and just remember….
a man about 2,000 years ago once said “He without sin shall cast the first stone…”
Monday, June 4, 2007 at 1:44 pm
I read in Tommy’s blog that Laura will return June 25th, but also to look for her on the Jay Leno show on Friday (June 8?) I went back to his blog but that section is gone. Any idea why she would be on Jay Leno?
Monday, June 4, 2007 at 5:52 pm
Sandiegan might ALSO recall the expression, “People who live in glass houses, should not throw stones.”
The unending pontification of the stars and producer of the show about “family values” and “what’s good for the kids” along with the juvenile worship of Hollywood crap (oh, excuse me, the “daily dirt”) coupled with the numerous divorces, “alleged” addictions, and “reported” spousal abuse claims, all reflect upon the hypocrisy of this “feel good fest.” The public is not casting the “first stone,” we are simply pointing out the arm strength of the “Showgram’s” stars as they tell us how to live the proper life.
Monday, June 4, 2007 at 9:10 pm
insightbyjake…
hey buddy, it’s called “changing the station.”… if listening to a radio show for a couple hours a day gets you this worked up i can’t begin to imagine…
i’ve added my two cents and i definitely won’t hold an argument on a message board, with that said i think i’ll go drink some milk, maybe even right out of the carton, before i go to bed. but maybe i should think twice about that because i wouldn’t want to become a hypocrite when i tell my nephew to use a cup–wouldn’t want to ruin the family values ya know! haha
Monday, June 4, 2007 at 10:48 pm
Sandiegan: Perhaps the simplicity of the situation confuses you. You still don’t get it. No one is “worked up,” and yes, you can’t “begin to imagine.”
Most of us listen to a variety of radio shows. We’re not addicted to any one show or format… we’re simply looking for clarity. We GET that radio is a “show.” It is not real people, nor is it real life. We just expect the producers of entertainment to admit they are artificial, i.e., they are a by-product of advertiser desires.
Pick a station, 101.5…94.1….93.3….none of it is “real.” It is a pretense to “care.” Those of us who get annoyed wish for one thing: stop pretending you care, and just admit it’s only about entertainment.
Here’s a simple illustration: Channel 10 news declares it is “reporting for you!” Channel 10 doesn’t give a crap about me — or you Sandiegan. Channel 10 cares about ratings — and if pretending to “care” increases ratings, then they will “care.”
Likewise, Jeff and Jer do not care about “11 listeners.” They care about Arbitron ratings. Gimmicks aside, they care about Jeff and Jer.
Drink your milk out of the carton — it’s not hypocritical — just slightly gross.
Tuesday, June 5, 2007 at 7:28 pm
To The Sandiegian:
Your meaningless dribble about rock throwing, etc., misses the points made on this blog regarding the where-abouts of a public, media figure. As many listeners recall, Dave and Laura met in college, fell in love and after two children, Dave must feel this personal effort by Laura has been quite the sacrafice — not just getting off her addiction, but being separated from her most important and valued treasures in life–Charlie, Evan and Dave.
2nd Point:
Your “soothsayer” idea that somehow I’m a bitter, ex-radio jockey is not only wrong, but isn’t this throwing a rock at me? I’d love the opportunity to give your rock back to you.
3rd Point:
Jer: For those in the know or at minimum, those listeners, your “top-ten” among many of your attempts at being funny are actually extremely painful and inane. Please give us all a break and leave this list-generation to the professionals (i.e. Letterman).
Or, how about The Top-Ten on how you, Jer are not humorous:
Number Ten … You’re Not Funny
Number Nine … Pam’s Ass is as Large as a Volkswagon and approaching SUV status
Number Eight … You’re Not Funny
Number Seven: Leaf-Eaters Aren’t Funnny
Number Six … You’re Still Not Funny
Number Five … You Smug First-Class Flyer: Fly East Until Your Hat Floats
Number Four: Take Your Buddha-Aroma-Sniffing-Art-Snob Wife With You (see Number Five) While She Can Still Fit in the First Class Seat (see Number Nine)
Number Three: Rick is Funnier!
Number Two: Newsflash: You Are Not San Diego’s Funniest Personality …
Number One: Repeat Items Two thru Nine
Regards,
Carl & Fred

Actually, I heard it from a reliable source that Laura was selected for a reality TV show, similar to Big Brother. She has been living in isolation for the past 90 days with the exception of a few family visits that she won on the show. I hear that the show debuts in the fall.
Saturday, June 23, 2007 at 11:44 am
Right……. and ‘gullible’ isn’t in the dictionary either.
Sunday, June 24, 2007 at 2:17 pm
Laura is coming back on Monday. More facts below:
1) All indications are (from a contact at the studio who insists to remain anonymous to protect their job) that they are preparing for her return, making sure that all items that may remind her of her “problem” are removed, such as straws, mirrors, spoons, cashiers, hairdressers, or even other acquaintances, etc., that may have instrumental in her downhill plunge.
2) Staged phone calls: These phone calls are supposedly from real people but are in fact totally staged. While they bring in the discussions and humor, these mimic today’s journalistic practices: If a story doesn’t exist, make it up (i.e., NY Times Nathan Blair or the Duke Lacross case). Example, the women who’ve called in the past two weeks about the engagement ring, or the flower ring, or the one call about leaving their spouse at a gas station.
These would be more interesting if they were indeed real, but I guess this is an attempt to increase the ratings with women miserably sitting at home eating Bons-Bons.
3) Jerry: The Top Ten List continues to suck. I had a case of hemorrhoids last week that was funnier than your recent attempts at your overpaid humor. Since your team practices’ making up stories (see Item 2), why not just steal Letterman’s Top Ten from the night before. In fact, just re-play Letterman — you can remain on vacation.
4) RJP: Your reliable source is as credible as the “sitchy” calls (see Item 2)–what are you trying to do here making crap up on this blog? Just trying to get a response? Attention?
Monday, June 25, 2007 at 11:53 am
Carl’s point #2 on staged phone calls is interesting. Last week a woman called about finding an “engagement ring” and how scared she was because she didn’t want to be married yet. The “bit” stretched for 10-15 minutes as callers responded. Ten minutes later on KGB 101.5 a woman called in about the “engagement ring” she found….etc. The EXACT same bit on two different channels! What are the odds?! Oh, wait, they’re both Clear Channel run stations…..The odds are pretty good I guess. The 94.1 morning show has become so dated it’s frightening. Like watching old clips of Bob Hope 30 years past his prime, reading stale jokes off of cue cards held two feet in front of his failed eyes.
Jeff and Jer are moments away from becoming “Bob and Ken.”
Monday, June 25, 2007 at 5:59 pm
Jake:
You are so profound! Jeff and Jer offer re-tread humor “xeroxed” and distributed to the Clear Channel studios for their overpaid, always on-vacation, unfunny hosts.
More insight Jakey-boy:
There are more stories lurking behind previous “staged phone calls” that are stretched between ubiquitous commercials and teasers about co-hosts returning from “bad-times” at Ridgemont Rehab.
Nice work Mr. Insight!
Tuesday, June 26, 2007 at 1:14 am
Here is tomorrow’s show:
Jeff: “What a great family they are! Dave and Laura! And those great kids!”
Jer: “I have the top ten reasons to love that family!”
Tommy: “I have a great family! Have I mentioned my mom and how hard my childhood was?”
Randy: “My childhood is almost over! I’m thinking about moving out of my home after 43 years. Have I mentioned my wonderful girl, Debbie?”
Jeff: “I know all about great families!! I have five beautiful children being raised by three different mom’s. I learned how to be a great Dad for multiple families in church!”
Jer: “I know all about moms! They have big jugs!! Did I mention I’m an alcoholic and I get most of my jokes from on-line resources?”
Tommy: “My brother was an addict. Did I mention that 74 times? Plus, I had to eat rice and hot dogs alot. Anyone want to hear why I’m fat?”
Jeff: “I read a great book on that! ‘Christians Who Get To Say Anything Because They Are Never Called Out For Being A Hypocrite’I used to be fat too. But, Jesus saves millionaire sleep-walkers!”
Laura: “Does Sleep-Train sponsor rehab-divorce assistance-acting sessions-while I wish I could be Kelly Rippa- classes?”
Stay tuned next week when the “best of Jeff And Jer” finishes playing while our “heroes” vacation in Italy-Tennessee-Disneyland-Chula Vista- and Betty Ford!
“It’s all about the kids!” Don’t you wish your kids could grow up to be just like them?!
Tuesday, June 26, 2007 at 7:38 am
Laura’s back but guess who’s not? More later …
Tuesday, June 26, 2007 at 4:56 pm
As promised … Laura came back giving us nearly all of the sordid details. However, one fact was omitted from this happy picture: Husband Dave.
Maybe it’s a new saga: Laura’s husband is missing … but is he coming back? Let’s see …
Laura’s neighbors overheard recently, “… in my house!?!?! … Where my children come to play with their toys … ” (Exit hairdresser and friends).
I betting that spouse Dave was adroitly left out of Laura’s “Letter-from-Paul-to-the-Corinthians” this morning. Seems Tommy is first in line on the thank-you list, a spot normally reserved for life partners.
Were her husband’s continuing conquests the real catalyst to both her plunge and now her sobriety? No doubt Laura will continue to not only battle her demons (and I truly hope she is successful) but also manage the strength to defend her children’s father in their eyes — which may prove to be the bigger, near-term challenge.
This is a “real-life” call … not staged.
Tuesday, June 26, 2007 at 5:00 pm
Did anyone catch Jer’s comment about “nice rack” at end of show…hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm? There is a bit of a difference when looking at her pic in shirt today when compared to a few months back…..I am just saying…
Friday, June 29, 2007 at 1:49 pm
I e-mailed Laura asking her how her and Dave are doing since this adjustment with her being gone to rehab can strongly affect a marriage. Also I asked why she never once has thanked or mentioned Dave in her letter or diarys only Tommy ,her kids, and her mom, sis and best friend. I know I am being nosey but I was just curious if any one knows if they are still together because he seems like a great guy and they have been together since college evidently. But you never know what goes on behind closed doors. Anyway just curious. Of course she never replyed back because its none of my business.
Saturday, June 30, 2007 at 12:00 am
This is not difficult….A shallow loser, plus a sycophantic team of “know-it-alls” and there is your recipe for failure. Dave Cain had it nailed: “Make the plan — fly the plan.”
Laura (and Jeff and Jer) can’t make a plan or fly a plan. Hence the “simple life.” I challenge you to find “depth” in this team. I mean, “depth” beyond the fake bits and pontificating crap that Jeff dishes out each day.
“You know, families need time to come together each day, like the way my family wastes three hours a week watching American Idol!” “This is waht cements families..” Jef states.
Of course, this is stated by the guy who has been married three times.
They are a solid rhythm of hypocrisy. As the proverb goes, “They know the price of everything — but the cost of nothing.”
What a creepy, conglomeration of “stars….”
Monday, July 2, 2007 at 10:51 am
A couple of items:
Seasnow: Thanks for all of the great inside detail! … geez. Glad to hear that you emailed Laura — what a scoop.
Update: Laura’s Dave got caught with his appendages inside the cookie jar going after the Oreos.
Tuesday, July 3, 2007 at 9:07 am
Ok Carl, nice scoop—was the cookie jar incident what led to Laura’s breakdown or was this during her recovery? Earlier we were guessing that it was her sons injury that prompted it. At any rate, she’s already missing daily meetings and came back more self-absorbed than ever. I doubt her stale cookies will be of interest to him again.
Tuesday, July 3, 2007 at 12:08 pm
Jeff & Jer:
Please, you’re trying too hard. Many log-winded, very unfunny routines the last few days.
Jer: That set-up to make Laura laugh was a very long way to go with very little payoff. Save the rim shots for your honeymoons. At least the Top Ten jokes are shorter.
P.S. You’re not funny.
Furthermore: More fake phone calls: Bride dumping bridesmaid just before the wedding. I thought I heard this in another station/city. I guess these routines are faxed to all Clear Channel stations, but it’s up to the on-air talent to either use or come up with something original.
We know what choice you’ve made.
Tuesday, July 3, 2007 at 1:56 pm
Dave filed for Legal Separtion from Laura…sad for the both of them and their kids.
Tuesday, July 3, 2007 at 11:20 pm
Dave - Laura seperated….–….who cares! We are NOT part of their lives — we are simply listeners. Let’s limit our comments to the aspect of “listening” — not speculating upon why and what happens to an allegedly failed marriage.
I happen to agree with “carl” about the “trying too hard” aspect of the un-funny show. “Trying too hard” — THAT’S what sucks about this radio show! It is SO forced and trite and stale and redundant…. adding Laura back into the mix simply dilutes an already watered-down product. Besides “playing the organ,” just WTF does Randy do? I mean besides, giggle at Jerry all day?
And PLEASE!!! After three months, the “I’m Tommy and I used to be fat but I’m hiking up mountains with 91 other fat people while I gush about Laura.” bit is getting OLD!!!
The show is now an annual cycle of American Idol meets Thank-You-Party meets Pick-a-Purse meets Del Mar Fair meets Jerry drives a friggin locomotive meets Jeff-sucks-at-marriage meets Breaking-and-entering, meets Jingle Ball. Throw in 5 vacations a year and we have listened to the same drivel for 15 years. The only variation the show offers is, which station wins the chance to showcase this crap this year.
In 2007 we found Delana to be a breath of fresh-air! She didn’t seem to be a sycophant — rather, she was an interesting addition. Much like Rick Moorten was months ago. For a brief period, he was the funniest guy on the morning show. He was quick, unrehearsed, and without “issues.” Of course, that meant he was destined to be “shuffled” off to his own show at a less popular hour. Now he is on in the P.M. with “Jen” (another bright, interesting, funny talent) BUT, they are relegated to “spinning records.”
The programming “experts” at 94.1 are –at best — morons. Rick and Jen should be “talk-driven” Jeff and Jer should start playing music. BUT, that will never be as long as the showgram derives income from the 43 matress companies that seem to exist in San Diego. Where the HECK are all those companies located?
Listening to Jeff and Jer is like riding “It’s a Small World” at Disneyland. Upon entering the ride, we nostalgically remember the good — but after a few moments, we are easily killed by the repetitive nature of the redundancy.
Wednesday, July 4, 2007 at 10:43 am
Inside Jake:
Too add to your dead-on comments, with regard to Rick Moorten, when he worked the morning show with Jeff and Jer, his on-air talents led to a ad hoc performance review with Jer. Rick was reprimanded for his raw talent and given specific penance by Jer to ensure Jer was not only the high priest of the show but told to pass his witty comments in writing first to bolster Jer’s lack of talent.
As far as Jen goes, I do have to disagree a bit with regard to her talent. But I agree that Jeff and Jer ought to be regulated to playing music until the auto-program kicks-in. I’d like to see Jer engineer his way out of his over-paid position thus giving him plenty of time seek out the cocktail waitresses in Elko, Nevada (“… He was banging the cocktail waitresses two-at-a-time … nobody could get a drink”).
MMW:
The reference to the cookies has to do with Dave immediately “spending time” with Laura’s friends while Laura was away in Oregon. One has to question if the right person went to rehab.
Wednesday, July 4, 2007 at 4:32 pm
Random thoughts on this 4th of July….Did I miss Jerry’s annual “all the gross sh** that is found in hot-dogs” rant?
I’m firing up the bar-b-que and wondering if it is an “entrail free” fire I should be lighting. I swear, if Jer ever had a Hebrew’s Dog grilled to a slight crisp, he’d be breakin out the leather shoes and Wilson’s House of Suede jacket (with the goofy pocket hanky that he borrowed from “In Like Flint.”)
Also, does Fox send the show $$ to endlessly plug American Idol? This four year orgy of gushing over a “talent contest” blows my mind. Could anyone on the show name five Supreme Court Justices? No. But, they could tell you American Idol winners and losers. The apparent lack of depth is stunning. I still LOL at the time the show was listing the world’s most famous people and Jeff mentioned Martin Luther (for his influence on the advent of the Protestant reformation). Laura’s reply? “Oh sure, he should be on the list. Look what he did for race relations!”
Priceless.
I found a fantastic quote by Sommerset Maughm that descibes this show perfectly: “Only mediocre people are always at their best.”
Happy Fourth to this great nation of free-speech, and free-thoughts. May it last forever.

Hi VALLEY GIRL, Thanks for the info but I was just wondering how you found out that Dave legally filed? Are you a close friend?

Why do any of you listen? You are very hateful people.
Thursday, July 5, 2007 at 1:25 pm
From today’s show:
Jeff: “I can’t believe we have to be here today.” [apparently referring to only one day off for the 4th of July]
Laura: “I know! It’s not fair!”
Four hour work days, five weeks vacation a year, holidays off and 3-plus months off (with pay) to rehab….?
Just curious….just what WOULD be fair?

Jbug….”Hatefull” …..? No exasperated. We’re simply tired of spoon-fed crap. Tv, radio, internet…spoon-fed crap. STOP telling me you are “original.” STOP telling me you “care.” STOP telling me I have a “choice.” You DON’T, and I DON’T!. We listen because we HOPE—- not because we are “fans.” Jbug….stop being an audience member and start being a listener…

Then move to the omish country if your tired of the spoon fed crap and quit your complaining. There are more important things in life to complain about. Jef and Jer and the gang are only human and have the same problems like anyone else and it nice and refreshing that they are so open and let us into there life and are very silly fun people. Alot of people relate to them and they are all good people on that show. They do alot of good for the community and just try to make people laugh which I love because there is so much sadness and negativity in this world. No one is perfect which alot of you on this forum seem to forget. If you dont like it you know where the power button is. Have a positive and great day everyone…..

seasnow, PUH-LEEZ, time to grow up and smell the stale crap being fed to us. Even the “A”mish would see these dysfunctional overpaid group of whiners for what they really are. They ran out of material LONG ago and just rehash other stations leftovers. They’re not even creative enough to make up their own stuff.. WAKE UP! Just IGNORE the posts of those of us who have not swallowed the Kool-Aid. Whats the LAST good thing they did? Beckys House years ago? That WAS good. What happened to those guys? These silly,fun,nice, real, people are fake with fake tans, nails, boobs, toupees, teeth, and morals. There must be more important things for YOU to do than complain about us. Now Shoooo away to your Pollyanna sunshine filled sea and snow wonderland.

Here’s a legitimate complaint for seasnow: It’s Amish — not omish
Friday, July 6, 2007 at 8:01 pm
Hey seasnow, Just where is “Omish country?” I know Amish country is in Pennsylvania, but I wouldn’t want you and Jbug to think I was being hateful for challenging your understanding of the Omish.
Also, your belief they “have the same problems as everyone else,” along with “alot of people relate to them,” leads me to ask, how many blog posters earn $3 million a year, work a four hour day and have 5 weeks a year off?!? Show me some and I’ll buy into your “they’re just like us” whine.
We’re not hateful people — we just find it funny when the overly privileged make stupid choices and then want us to treat them like everyone else. Give me their job and their monsy and I bet I could limit myself to one marriage and no drug addiction — just like most of society.

Insight and mmw I never said you were hateful. I am not complaining like you two. I am actually laughing as I type this and just stating a fact that you sound like very arrogant and jealous people because obviously you would not get so worked up over some people on the radio making a great living or comments on this board or accidental mispellings. I think YOUR funny. I think you need to revaluate your life because you are obviously not content.Again like I said if you dont like Jeff and Jer then don’t listen it very easy to turn off the power. Oh yes and I am sure I will get another arrogant,insightful and spelling correction reply…..We all can’t be as perfect as you…Tee hee hee

This really has nothing to do with Laura, well maybe in a certain way. I’m not sure if I think it’s great that Tommy & Laura have grown so close, or maybe a little weird. Anyway, a friend of mine likes reading some website called dontdatehimgirl.com. Someone posted something about Tommy. I won’t repost it here, but if your interested go check it out. I’m not sure if it’s true or not, but if it is then wow Tommy.

Random thoughts: Why this show is so LAME! (Don’t tell me to not listen — I feel the same way about the President but I still listen to what he says….)
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!!!

Seasnow…you’re correct. Here is my “arrogant, insightful, spelling correction reply:” “I think YOUR funny.” That would be, “I think you’re funny.” It’s a contraction.
And, it’s “re-evaluate,” not “revaluate.”
How about, “it very easy to turn off the power” Perhaps you could slow down enough to see the missing contraction of “it is.” Thus, one would type, “It’s very easy to turn off the power.”
Finally, “Tee hee hee” is NOT an acceptable laugh when writing. Try, “HA! Or, “Ha-Ha!”
By the way, is it your over-all belief that one should ignore “crap?” “Turn off the power,” implies a society should ignore that which is mediocre, and do little in return. Do I “turn off the power” when rap stations play music that denigrates women? Would it be “arrogant and jealous” to complain that those words offend me? Am I “arrogant” for asking that a “family” show that’s “all about the kids” actually behave like it’s ALL ABOUT THE KIDS??!!!
Seasnow… I hate to say it but, I AM insightful!!!

Seasnow, I didn’t want to disappoint you. I really think you just need to GROW UP, tee hee. How old are you, 12? MY life is FANTASTIC,I love it and I actually feel pretty blessed to have the life I do–However, it is MY RIGHT to express my opinion that the showgram has gone from something funny and entertaining (many years ago) to pathetic drivel. San Diego deserves better radio than this. If you want to settle for adolescent, repetitive, stale radio that’s your perogative. I aim a little higher for most things and from the sounds of this board so do a lot of other San Diegans. We live in a great city, unfortunately we don’t have a lot of great radio. If you think we do, perhaps you’ve never listened to anything OTHER than San Diego radio. Maybe you don’t know any better and I certainly don’t fault you for that, but I will tell you that a lot of other cities have better radio than we do. My hope in expressing MY OPINION is that someone who works for clear channel will read this and see that they need to make a change if they want to keep their listeners. I am hoping to make a difference, YOU my dear can just ignore my posts.

Seasnot:
It’s all about knowing that Jeff and Jer do read this post — which based on the last few weeks, we know they are feeling the appropriate critique. “Despite what you may have read, we are trying to be funny …” Thus, we are making an impact.
Bottom-line: The emperors are “widout” clothes and are very small, unfunny and hypocritical, not unlike many media types. (http://www.jeffandjerry.net/).
Go on vacation. Take your wife, please.

This is not a dig on anyone. I really truly am just curious…those of you who have posted comments about the show being lame, the members of the show not being funny etc. what makes you turn on the radio to 94.1 in the mornings? I once came across an “i hate rachel ray” website and it was tons of people commenting on her shows right up to the shows they were watching while posting online. They were all sort of mean little insights about her weird body shape, horrible food and her “isms” like “EVOO” or “Yum-O.” I wondered if they continued to watch her show just because they thought it was hilarious to watch or maybe there was nothing else interesting on. I happen to listen to jeff and jer some mornings. I also listen to a number of other morning shows in san diego. Just depends on my mood. There are times when I hate what they are talking about or think one of them is on the soap box for a few minutes too long. But all in all, i find it entertaining. Do I take it seriously? Do I think they are my friends? Hell no. But they don’t owe me or anyone an explanation as to why they do and say what they do and say. I can’t stand Bill O’Riley but I would never start a long series of comments about the o’riley factor being the worst show on television. And I certainly wouldn’t watch it daily. I don’t mean to offend anyone and I hope this doesn’t become a war of words. Keep on rockin in the free world..haha (that was for you insightbyjake).
