FYI:  We are starting to transfer our new stuff to the KyXy website, but soon JEFFANDJER.COM will be solely for the syndicated shows we will be doing shortly.

I hope you enjoy!

The staff at KyXy has been so cool with us and very patient.  That first day on the air, none of us knew how to run any equipment or anything, but 5 days later, we kind of can fake it now.     I love that the feeling we all have is exactly the way we all felt when we first got in to radio when we were much younger.  We have a few more years left as a showgram and that gets me excited, because we have so many things in the works, like syndicaton and possibly some television stuff as well.  This is a good time and it’s only just the beginning.

Check out this cool video link.  I invited my friend Anita Bartram to come in that first morning and she was able to capture the first few moments we spoke on the air and much more.

I am so proud of the showgram.  All last week starting with me on Tuesday, we all gave a little “catching up” about our experience over the last 17 months.  I didn’t have time to talk about all the stuff I was part of, but the stuff I did talk about, I was very proud of and very honored.

The following link is the audio from last Tuesday.

This next link is like a little blog of all the stuff I spoke about and stuff I didn’t get a chance to bring up. I want to talk about the drug stuff one day on the air. I’m not sure Jeff and Jer are aware of my new passion which is the education of the prescription drug epidemic going on in our San Diego schools.

I liked each and everyone of the showgram’s Catching Up segments.  I can’t wait for Jeff to do his on Monday morning at 7:30.  He will introduce us all officially to Mia Detrow.  She’s the newest member of the Detrow family.

Here are the links to Laura, Randy, and Jerry’s segments.  Each one is awesome!

Officially, we’re using http://www.kyxy.com for everything, but I wasn’t sure how to post a blog on that site YET, so I came back to jeffandjer.com to post something, because I had a lot to say.   Soon, JeffandJer.com will be for our syndication shows that will start up shortly.    I’m excited about that.

Check out this cool picture of my mom at the rehab place she’s at.  My mom is still in the hospital to get a little more stronger.  It’s hard when your parents get older, but what I saw the other day was an amazing and precious moment I will forever remember and cherish. 

My mom wasn’t feeling well so I took her for a little “stroll” in her wheelchair around the facility.  I heard a piano player singing in the little auditorium.  I took my mom there and placed her in front of the singer and he was singing some old 1940 standards.  MY MOM KNEW ALL THE WORDS and she clapped and sang along and smiled and just had a great time.  MUSIC is amazing.  MUSIC brought back so many memories to my mom.  It’s tough when they get older, but MUSIC triggered something in her brain and she sang every word along with the performer. It was an amazing thing ever. 

My son Eddie and my daughter Vanessa are growing up fast.   I think they finally realize I’m on the radio and I think they like listening to me now.      For so many years and for most of their life, I’ve been on the radio and it’s all they knew, but after being off for 17 months, I think they appreciate my job and I think they get a kick out of it now, instead of thinking I’m a big fat geek.  

Eddie took 1st place last week in the California Amateur Skate League.  He was very excited. 

My baby girl Vanessa officially is able to get her license this coming week.   She’s growing up fast!!!

Wow, what a week!!!     

We posted it on Facebook and Twitter and everywhere else and it was just a really cool feeling to get all the messages from our family, friends, and listeners.

We start Monday, which is so awesome, but also so nerve wracking because, I haven’t even started preparing to put all of our material and sound in to the new system.  I have a lot to do with everyone on the showgram for the next couple of days.  It’s going to be so much fun and exciting and stressful too.  I think I’ll be running on adrenalin, because I am right now.

It’s been a long 17 months.  Who would have thought it was going to take that long?  I am also, in a way, kind of glad it happened this way.  We are all much better personally from all that we have gone though.  I can’t wait to share all the stories with you on the air STARTING THIS MONDAY!  

KYXY 96.5 or do I type it like KyXy 96.5 in San Diego?   Yes, that way looks better:   KyXy 96.5.

Sonny, Susan, and Kevin Dean are friends of mine.  We all love and respect them.  They will move to afternoons.  Sam Bass is someone I grew up listening to.  It will be an honor to meet him.  Gene Knight goes to nights and we were at B100 together in the early 90’s.  I actually asked Gene Knight for an autograph when I was in elementary when he was at a junior high dance doing the B100 Boogie Machine.  HAHA.   

The staff at KyXy have been great.  The engineer is a guy named Mike Prasser. I’m proud of Mike. I watched him grow from being an assistant to a CHIEF ENGINEER over the years.

Bob Bolinger is the GM.  He’s hired us the last 4 or 5 times.  Bob has hired us at Q106, Star 100.7, Star 94.1 , and now KyXy 96.5….Isn’t that amazing?

The Jeff and Jer Showgram  has several years together.  It’s only just the beginning of this new chapter.  We will be syndicated as well in a few weeks and there’s a local TV station wanting to give us a TV show as well. 

Thank you for the last 17 months of supporting us OFF the air.  Thank God for Facebook and social media.  It’s been a good hard road and now it’s time get back on the radio.

My children are doing great.  I love Eddie and Vanessa so much and Amanda too.  These last few months has also given me a better relationship with Dannell.  It’s amazing.  I am so happy about that.

My sisters Lola and Punkin supported me so much during this time off.   I miss Ray and Frank and my dad so much.  Yes, I still think of my dad, even though I only have a few memories of him.

My mom is back in the hospital, but she is doing great.  She is getting stronger! She will be listening Monday morning to KyXy from her room at the rehab place.   

Thank you and God bless you and I hope you listen Monday morning at 6am on KyXy 96.5 FM in San Diego!!

YAY!!!!
