Laura Cain After Dark

So happy to be back with you guys in 2024! We start off by talking about Laura's big national TV appearance on Monday night on TLC's 90-Day Diaries. We play the clip so you can see it in case you missed her 5 minutes of fame! haha. Erik's birthday was on January 8th. Instead of buying a card for him, Laura reads him a special poem...a pretty terrible, but funny birthday poem. Then our special gues...

It's our last episode of 2023! Lucky for you, or maybe not, we model our new super stylish clothes and accessories we bought for each other from Temu this Christmas. Erik's outfit alone is enough to stop what you are doing and watch this show. Omg. haha. We dabble with a new, slightly naughty but funny card game. And, we finish with our heartfelt thoughts about this year, this podcast we've been d...

Erik and Laura made a pact to buy each other Christmas gifts for each other only from TEMU and only the most hideous things they could find for each other. Let's just say this gift exchange is hilarious, crazy, and oh, so cheesy. We laughed our butts off and you will too, especially when you see what Erik puts on his head AND feet. Laura is going to be on 90 Day Fiance's "90 Day Diaries" on Januar...

It would be silly to tell you exactly what happens in this episode because you MUST WATCH THIS to see just how Keanu Reeves reveals himself. We.literally.can't. Let's just say someone is completely surprised and unbelievably stoked. Laura shares the story of her Christmas party wardrobe malfunction. It's a bad one. Erik rounds out the show with a very personal story that a lot of you will relate t...

It's unthinkable what Laura lost in her car last week. And, while looking for this valuable item she lost, what else was found in the crevice of her car seats? The list will astound you. Erik has a show-and-tell item to share with us and a mini, but mighty, dose of Double D News. Then, Klea, founder of Doll Face Club Sober Living for women, joins us in the studio to tell her story and talk about h...

Laura bought a new game on Instagram where the goal is to make the other person laugh at an acted-out scenario. Is this funny or does this bomb, hardcore? We laughed at how bad our acting skills are! Laura is planning to be extra hot for a Christmas Party because she might see an ex-boyfriend there. Is it normal for women to want to make an ex feel like they made a huge mistake? haha. And, Erik co...

Here's another "best of" show until we return next week... This is one of our favorite episodes because some of you guys were here with us watching it live! We love our listeners and watchers! It was our very first live show from Laura's Living Room! Laura talks about her super embarrassing moment at the comedy club. Erik recounts his crazy trip to Vegas riddled with drugs and nudity (not Erik, al...

This is one of our FAVE EPISODES...so we are putting it as one of our "Best of LCAD' shows since we are off this week. We have special guest Michael Brown from San Diego Ghost Tours on the show this episode to tell us about all the spooky spots in San Diego. There seems to be a hub here in the city and there's one building, in particular, that's super "active" as he explains. It's not the Whaley H...

You guys who watch our podcast and listen to our podcast mean the world to us. Without you, we wouldn't be able to do this twice a week for as long as we have doing it, which is over 4 years now. YOU are the reason we do this, YOU are the ones we want to make laugh and smile, shock and touch with our words and our little games and stories and such. YOU are part of our little family. To say we are...

You hear him on Jammin 957 and on Rock 1063, you see him on Fox5 TV and KUSI plus he's big on helping the community. Beto Perez is also a music nut, a big-time DJ, and a soccer fan to boot. He says he grew up as a "hood" kid, born in Tijuana. He is so entertaining and inspiring. You will be captivated by his story. Before Beto, Laura needs your help with something very specific and Erik tells us w...

Erik's dearest friend, Karen, lost her daughter to cancer so this 3-Day Walk is a big deal for her and for everyone who has lost someone to breast cancer or any other kind of cancer. It all sucks. We talk to her in this episode. Very touching and inspiring conversation. She invites you to walk with her, Erik, and the "No Bad Days" Team in honor of Kate. Completely changing gears, we call a woman w...

You hear him tickle the ivories at Manhattan Restaurant in La Jolla on the weekends, but our guest, Tad Sisler, is so much more than a classic pianist and singer. He tells us stories from chit-chatting with Frank Sinatra to writing a book. His stories and his vibe will lift your spirits. Laura has a big announcement that could change her life and Erik has an embarrassing moment at work. Plus, his...

That is just one of the questions we toss around this episode. We also go around the room and humbly brag about our best traits. Of course, it ends with teasing and the cricket sound effect. haha. Laura confirms the fact that Vegas is no longer a cheap get-away like it used to be. And, we have a heated debate about a few things like: What is the best Thanksgiving dish and Who should be on the top...

The Big Hideous Temu Contest results have come pouring in and it was a landslide. However, one of us thinks it's all kinds of wrong. This has to be a confusing mistake. Does the loser concede or fight the results? Laura has a story that will send chills down your spine and it's all Producer Bryan's fault, she says. Erik is loaded up with tons of celebrity gossip we call the Daily Dirt or Double D...

Who wins the Big Hideous Temu Contest? Erik and Laura reveal their three picks from the website, the most horrible things they could find for each other. You guys get to decide who wins this contest.

Erik thinks he...

Holy crow, this is a crazy one. We pull out the Ouija Board and things get weird! Before we summon the spirits, Laura reads a letter to Matthew Perry. We wanted to give him the dignity and the understanding he deserves. And, we talk to Laura's mom about why she let her go out on Halloween dressed as a beer can when she was 8 years old! haha. We are unapologetically unfiltered and lots of fun. Uned...

Not going to lie...the show starts off kind of tense because Erik and Laura are in a disagreement about something that we can't talk about yet. Does Laura shed tears? Does she make it through the show? We toss around our opinions on bigfoot and aliens and whoa they are all over the place. Laura's Rando News segment includes a story about things most people think smell disgusting but you secretly l...

The hosts of the podcast take a very special, very expensive trip to one of our advertisers. Oh, what we got, especially Erik, might blow your mind. Laura says she is dressing up in a different costume every podcast leading up to our big Halloween episode next week. Laura also has a list of the most creative Halloween costumes of 2023 and a new (well, new to her) show that you need to see. Erik of...

Producer Bryan hops up to the desk this episode to tell us about the Halloween Trail at the old Marshal Scotties. However, he winds up telling the longest joke in the history of the world and Laura about loses her mind because she hates jokes. This prompts the boys to launch into yet more jokes, which wears away at Laura's patience. Before all that Erik explains the incident that made him Hallowee...

Erik has become slightly addicted to the shopping site Temu, which has any kind of clothing item, product, or knick-knack you can think of. So, we've come up with a contest between Erik and Laura: Who can find the most hideous gift for the other? The winner gets to watch the loser display the hideousness in public, specifically in the aisles of Vons grocery store. Stay tuned for that one! Laura te...

Laura admits something she’s considering doing to her body and of course, the guys guess anything and everything plastic surgery. It’s something that leads her into a story about her dad, David Hietter, who passed away when he was just 60 years old. Laura wants you to know what kind of man her father was because he will never be forgotten. Producer Bryan brings in a freaky video for his Wild Card...

Oh, wait til you hear this story. This would only happen to Erik...at a Pink concert of all things. Laura relives the horror that was the start of her Saturday swap meet experience. First time selling at the swap meet and possibly the last. Up next is Erik's Double D News and a new segment we call "Erik's Spanish Lessons" where Antonio comes on the show to teach him some key phrases that could com...

It's a strange question but that's what we get when we play the card game "Bad People" in this episode. The cards have titillating questions that each of us must answer like "Who among us has the lowest standards?" or "Who is most likely to not be wearing underwear right now?" That's an easy one...ERIK. He shows up to the podcast wearing yet another one of the tight dresses Laura is selling at the...
