Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network. Thank you so much for coming along for the ride today. Before we actually get the show started, I want to ask for your prayers and your good thoughts, your smiles. The person who is in charge of the Blaze Radio Network and also who is in charge of, well, Glenbeck Radio. He oversees the Glenn Beck Radio program, hosts. syndication radio hosts and also overseas the Blaze Radio Network, Dom Theodore.

He and his wife were in an automobile accident last night, and he is right now in the hospital and has gone through one surgery and they're looking to possibly have at least one other surgery. His wife, Jen, survived the crash and did not have to stay overnight in the hospital. Her injuries were as minor as an automobile accident injuries could be. They were in a head was a head on collision Last night

They were not Under the influence I don't know about the person that hit them That's very possible I don't know the details on that yet But just know that We hear at the Blaze Radio Network Dom and Jen, we love you

We'll be praying for you And as soon as we know anything else we will update you. Just those of you that listen to the network, I'm sure have heard his name before, and those of you who have anything to do inside the business of radio and know who Don Theodore is. Adam and I've worked together for, I don't know how many years.

One of the first times we worked together, we realized that years before we both worked at the same radio station where I got my start and where he got his start in the swinging town of Saginaw, Michigan. McDonald Broadcasting, WSA, Home of the Gears. So anyway, I just wanted to let you know that it was anytime your phone rings at 1 o'clock in the morning

and you look at it and go that person is probably just butt dialing me and so you let it go to voicemail and it immediately calls back you know there's an issue and it's never easy to get those calls but we're very happy that they both survived

and that the recovery process hopefully will not be very long So just say a prayer for the Theodors and their family. I wasn't aware that their son was in the car with them. So I'm guessing what I was told last night, what it was just those two. So the son is, I'm guessing, fine. As fine as a child could be after their parents are in a wreck. So just say a prayer for them, and we'll keep you updated here on the Blaze Radio Network for the Theodores.

and that's it. I hate starting the Jeff Fisher show that way because this isn't what I like to do on Saturday, that's for sure. So we'll transition to time change weekend. We'll transition to that since it gives me, we lose an hour, so I lose an hour of having to pray for the Theodores. How about that? Is that good?

It's the only thing good about it I can think of. Why are we still having time change? What the hell? Come on now. And then there's stories everywhere. Of course, every news, every news operation. We've got to do stories on time change weekend. We've got to do stories on time change weekend.

Is there a doctor or a nurse or someone we can talk to about? Does stuff happen on the weekends? Boy, yes, more people have heart attacks and more people. If you have a heart attack this weekend, you probably were going to have a heart attack, whether it was time change weekend or not. That's just a guess on my part. Just a guess on my part.

and remember you can't change it before 2 a.m. Okay, the time changes Sunday at 2 a.m. Your clocks cannot change before then. And actually in today's world, how many clocks do you actually have that you have to change? Not very darn many. Not very darn many. The coffee maker, the microwave.

That's about it. You've got, oh, wait, you've got Grandma and Grandpa's clock that you've had for 100 years in the closet. Make sure you change that. Make sure you put a new battery in that. Now's a good time as anything. You put new batteries in those smoke alarms. That's a good time.

We'll get a report on that in a few minutes. Might as well change those AC filters while you're at it. And, hey, if you're going to take the car in, rotate the tires. Speak. Oh, and I have a car story for you today that is absolutely agonizing. and I have a dilemma and I need your help. I might as well, I mean, I might as well do it now. Okay, I've got all kinds of stuff to get to today

and I might as well get to that. So I bought a car a couple days ago. All right, leather seats, oak dashboard and armrests, velour center arm and drink rests, all digital, reading and dash for speed, you know, for the dashboard, how much gash, it's all digital. Remote start, I don't even need a key. On board satellite, private separate phone I can use as a cell or a sat phone.

DVD, internet playback, flash drive playback capabilities. It's made by a company that goes by the name of Rosreuth. Now, the one that I actually purchased may look a little different than that. What I see is what I just explained to you, but that's not really the car that it is. So I needed a new car, right? I mean, I've driven the old car right into the ground. And it got to the point where to pass the inspection, yes, that's right. The state of Texas has an automobile inspection.

I know. No state income tax, though. But you can't cross the road without dropping money into a can. Oh, no, Texas is great. I don't mind living in Texas, but get over the whole state income tax thing. I mean, they write millions of dollars worth of automobile tickets every year, plus you have to have it inspected, plus you have to pay tolls on 80% of the road. Trust me, there's an income tax.

That having been said. Okay, so a one-owner car, they did a lot of work to it. It was used. We found it. My wife found it on one of the banks that we deal with on their site. It was traded in. And so we go look at it. Beautiful. Perfect.

I mean, it's a good price, a fair price for it. In good shape, it looks like the rear seats, the rear passenger seats, and the passenger side front seat was barely sat in. I mean, the only seat that was used was where this overweight person sat more than me in the driver's seat. Trust me when I tell you, you can, I know. And just trust me when I tell you, I know. But that's okay. I'm all right with that.

I can juice it up a little bit with the electric seat up a little bit. We're good. If I have to, I'll put an extra spring in. All right. But, but. So I get it. I drive away. As I'm driving home, I hear this annoying noise underneath the dash, the front dash.

I've never heard it. I've never heard it in a car like before. So I'm not, I don't know what it is. And I'm not a car guy, but I mean, I've driven, I've driven cars all my life. I've been driving since I was, you know, 12 years old. I've been driving tractors and lawnmowers and cars and everything. I know what an engine sounds like when it's not working properly. So there's this noise, and it doesn't, I don't think it's the engine.

It's kind of, you know, when you're driving, you hear it, it's like in the front of the steering wheel and the dash. It may be up, it might be up underneath the hood just up underneath the dash. I'm not sure what it is. It's just kind of this rubbing noise. Now, I bought it used. I'm sorry, pre-owned. And so, you know, the deal, it's as is. I got it.

I got it. It's as is. But they give you a list of all the work they did on it because, you know, that's what they do. they take it. Trade it in, they work on it, they sell it. That's the business they're in. And so when it's not under warranty anymore, they, you know, every auto dealership, well, you can purchase our automobile long-term extension plan to take care of it for $800,000 a year. But you'll never have to change a tire again. Oh, okay. So I take it back. Then I say, hey,

Here's this noise. What is it? The guy that sold it to me, Larry, gets in and drives me around the corner. He's, oh, that's a new one to me. Never heard that one before? Yeah, me either. That's why I brought it back.

So he drops me, I said, just drop me off up front in the lobby. I'll work. I got my laptop. I'll work. Oh, you know, take it back, and let's, you know, find out what it is and get it done. So I'm just setting up in my little front lobby auto dealership space, logged into Wi-Fi, ready to work.

We're out of the corner. Hey, Joe. And he tosses me the keys. He's got a Post-it note in his hand. And he says, yeah, listen, it's not a safety issue, so they're not going to fix it. Okay, well, what is it? He looks down to the post. And I think I got to remember what the heck it's called.

called now. It's like an intermediate drive shaft coupler that's worn out. Okay, so that's the noise that I'm hearing. It's the intermediate drive shaft coupler. I think that's what it is. Now, I don't, I mean, I got to go back and look at the paperwork, but it's not a safety. And I laughed. I just like, whatever, dude, how long is it take to fix it? Seriously. You know, you're killing me. It's on the drive shaft. It's not a safety issue. Oh, no, seriously, I tried.

But he's got it written down on the bosom. This is what it costs for the part, and this is what it costs for labor. We can fix it for you. You can get it in here on Tuesday. No? So here's my dilemma. I have five days, as is, I have five days to decide whether I wanted or not. Right?

Before five days, I can pull, I'm presumably under law being able to roll it back into the auto nation. I mean, the automobile dealership. that I purchased the car from and say, I don't want it. Deals off and walk away, right? So do I do that and dare them to say, well, you know, fix this or, you know, I'm walking away.

Now I've got to be ready to walk away because they might say we're not going to, we're not going to fix it, and, you know, I've got to be ready to walk away. And I like the rolls. You know, I like the car that's, you know, looks like a rolls to me. and so that's my dilemma.

Do I test it? Do I dare them? I got to be willing to walk away. I got to be willing to walk to work for the next week. Or I'm not going to walk to work. I trust me. I'll spend a million dollars on Uber before I walk to work. I promised you that.

Or do I just live with it? And then the guy's, he told me it's not a safety issue. It's just the annoying sound. And, you know, so the next time I take it in. somewhere I'll get it fixed. Not by them. So that's my dilemma. I need your help. 888-90-3-33-93. What do I do? Do I dare him? Because I'm close, man.

I was close to what he told me yesterday. I almost handed him the keys. I'll call my wife. Come pick me up. You take it. You're not going to fix this thing. And it's not about the money. Look, it's like a hundred, 150 bucks, something like that. It's not about the money. It's about that you sold me a car. And now it's got the intermediate drive shaft coupler that's worn, and it's making a noise. Come on.

I love the rules. It drives great. It handles great. It looks great. I mean, who else has Oak Dash? Right? Do you have a satellite phone in your car? No, I didn't think so.

Okay, so that's my dilemma. I'm torn. torn to what to do. So, do I take it back to the car dealership Auto Nation? I mean, just the car dealership, one of the franchises of Auto Nation?

It won't fix $150 issue because it's as is used just brand new, fresh off the lot. Brand new fresh off the lot used car. It's not a safety issue. Okay, but it's on the drive shaft. Isn't it that? Oh, no. No, it's just an intermediate coupler.

It's fine. It's just worn down. You just need a new intermediate coupler. It will put it on. I just spent $250,000 minus a few thousand for your new rolls. Fix it. I bet your Rolls Royce would fix it. Yeah, but if I was looking at an actual Rolls-Royce, they would fix it.

So I want to know, seriously, I need your help because I don't know whether I walk away or not. I got to dare him. I'm close to wanting to dare him to see if they'll actually fix it, just to keep the sale. And if not, just walk away. You're listening to the Jeff Fisher Show.

All right, welcome to it. 888-903.33 is the phone number. A couple of answers on my Twitter account. Take it back. Take it back on the auto. Dare them. Take it back. And one person reminds me that they have 17 watches to set

as we headed to the time change weekend. It's going to be a long morning when you're going to have to set the alarm clock, set your alarm clock for 2 a.m. So you can get up and set all your watches to 3 a.m. at 2 a.m. to follow the law, right? Make sure it's right. Because if the police break in Sunday morning at 4 and you haven't done your watches, you're arrested. You're done. It's over. See, I want to dare.

I want to go. Let's go back to the car for a little bit. I'm a little frustrated. It's not 11. Yeah. But it's just frustrating, right? I mean, I like it. I like the fact that I like the fact that I got a great price on a Rolls Rice. Or you know what looks like a Rolls to me.

I like that. But see, if I was me talking to you, I would say, Derrim, bring it back. What are you gutless? Now you talking to me makes me feel like, I don't know. I don't know that I have the guts to do that. Because if they say they're not going to fix it, then I've got to walk away. Got to be ready to walk.

Right? And I don't know that I am. I mean, I'm 802 pounds. I got a bad knee. I got a bad shoulder. I don't want to walk. I don't want to walk. I don't want to spend a million dollars on Uber either.

So, so. I've just, you know what? You know what? I'll think about it. I'll think about it and see if I could dare AutoNation. I need the auto dealer to deal with it. Only on the Blaze Radio Network.

The Jeff Fisher Show is on. I'm reminded at my Facebook page at Jeff EMRA that I might as well keep the automobile even though it has an annoying noise. I mean, I keep the wife around. Now, that is not funny. That is not funny at all.

because your wife might be an annoying noise, but mine most definitely is not. However, you ever think about getting rid of your spouse? And by that, I don't mean divorce. I mean making them disappear. And, you know, obviously we see it all the time with, you know, husband and wives killing each other, right? And that's in your face murder. We know it is, right?

And they go to, they try to get out of it obviously. but I mean that's obvious violence, spouse hate, all that kind of stuff. However, there was a man, Daniel Belling, his wife, his two children, set off on an 11-hour tour, Mediterranean cruise. Family boarded the luxury, Magnifica cruise ship in Italy. Records show that Lee, who went by the name Angie, okay, her name is Lee. Yingley. But she went by Angie. Okay.

Thank you. Reboarded the ship on the 10th after it docked. After that, there's no record of the 36-year-old, nor any record of Belling alerting anyone to the fact that his wife had seemingly vanished. So his plan, go on the cruise, hang out, board, de-board, board, off the edge and then get back on and the ship was where we're we're missing one the cruise count of passengers exiting the ship but the cruise's combination returned one person

less than expected so we just push her over you have a nice day just pretend that your mom was never here just pretend that your mom was never here Now, he just grabbed the kids, went to the airport, he was ready to board the plane. He had four tickets, only used three. Don't worry about it. Just pretend that your mom went away. He claims that, hey, look, I'm not alarmed. I'm not alarmed that the wife went missing on a vacation cruise.

No, I mean, she, look, she previously has left family vacations before. Go on vacations and, you know, Lee, I mean, Angie. who goes by Angie, disappeared all the time. It's happened before. I wasn't worried about it. I was just heading home, taking the kids, figured she'd be show up sooner or later. You know.

No. He's in jail in Italy right now. They're trying to make the case. Now, they do have a report from a shop owner in one of the cities that they had stopped in on the cruise. And the shop owner recalled seeing the couple on the 10th the day before she went missing and describes Belling as handing his wife's sneakers

and saying put these on instead of your sandals and shut up I really could be any marriage okay seriously come on now I mean you're on a cruise and she's probably whining about her feet hurting and didn't want to walk that much and he just throws some tennis shoes down to put these on

get out of the sandals and shut up It's like I hear it about your feet. I mean, that's possible, right? Right? So, anyway, she's still, we don't know what happened to Lee, Angie. But that's one way. It's kind of a sneaky little plan. You buy the tickets.

You fly in, you take the cruise. You go off, you do a little shopping. You can't take the whining about the stupid. flip-flops, put the tennis shoes on and shut up. You have the kids who you've convinced that mom, Lee, Angie is annoying. I don't know where your mom is. She just went away.

You know how she is. Remember that last thing? Remember the other vacations she left? Remember? Ah, Dad. Sure do. Mom loved us. And she'll show up again, really, Dad.

and so then you just get rid of her and you leave they walk off the boat I'm sorry it's the ship it's not a boat walk off the ship all right kids let's go or mom will show up you remember the other vacations where she just left that's what happened here too my dad we were in the middle of the ocean on a cruise I know she loved to swim that Lee Angie I mean come on come on come on So you got to do better than that, right? You got to find a way to have the crew not miscount. Well, actually, you got to have the crew miscount because they didn't miscount.

They did say, we're down ahead. Where did she go? I don't know. I don't know. She has a habit of leaving on vacations and just taking off. She shows up again. I was just taking the kids back home. I mean, it wasn't my fault that she decided to swim back.

home from the middle of the ocean and I said go ahead so you got to find a way to have the crew count a head that's not there right so I don't know what you do what do you I mean yeah do you have like a fake head or something that you carry with you off the boat a mannequin head that you kind of hold around your arm with the suitcases say something, honey, she's sick. Just keep going, so they cop the head, right? Daddy, that's not mommy. Shut up.

I mean, that's good for him for trying, right? No, not good for him at all for trying to kill. So you got to try. Listen, you got to come up with better than that. You have to, right? I mean, you have to. All right, so we have news. Last week was big news, and there's people were on the

search for Richard Simmons. And it's been a story for quite a while. Now, you know, Richard Simmons hasn't been seen for 800 years now. They don't know where he is. It has been a long time. It's been over like three years, right? It's been three years or something like that. It's been quite some time.

So anyway, there was a big story. On February 14th, February 15th, 2014. That's the date. Yeah, that's right. I got to read that. You know, Jeff, if you could read, it would be helpful. February 15th, 2014, the fitness guru disappeared from public eye.

All right? So, where is he? Now, Richard is a big media hog, right? I mean, he's everywhere. And I don't know if you ever met him, but he is a character, a real character. And, man, he makes me laugh. It's funny. It's funny.

But when he is on fire, man, he is jumping around in those little shorts of his. and sitting on people's laps and bouncing up and down. It's like, dude, dancing to the oldies, man, calm down, okay? So he's been missing since February 15th, 2014. That has a long time for a guy that's in the media, right? I mean, nobody knows where. I mean, you'd think you'd see him. I mean, TMZ follows people out of a bar.

A guy walks out of a bathroom. Hey, what are you doing? How do you feel about your new movie? So they haven't seen Richard Simmons since 2014. I got to have that right in my head. I want to say February 14th, bad. So there's a podcast. I'm missing Richard Simmons from this Dan Trabowski,

Tiberski, a daily show producer. He's funny. There was like 18 million daily show producers. I'll never forget that when he won that, when he won his Emmys and stuff, and he brought the show up. Got like 18,000 writers. Of course it was funny. It's a 30-minute show.

Once a week or twice a week, whenever the hell of his damn show was on. Once or twice a week. 30 minutes. He's got 18 million writers. Of course it was funny. And it wasn't that funny. We play a video, we tell a joke,

we use a cuss word. Boy, we needed 18,000 writers for that, huh? Anyway, I digress. I digress. So missing Richard Simmons has been up on the podcast, and it's been huge. And people have been, you know, it's been running stories on it.

And there was a big story last week on it, like it's been, you know, since 2014, February 15th, that he's been missing. And so it's now reported. And it's now reported that he's not missing. Wait, what? I thought the podcast said that his, housekeeper was holding him hostage or that he had ballooned up.

Some of you believe, right? You believe anything now. Anything's possible in today's world because we've been hoodwinked so many times on stories. You go, no, that can't be real and then it is. So it's possible that Richard, you know, had knee surgery and then ballooned up back up to 800 pounds. Doesn't want to see anybody. Can't where the hair implants are going, falling out of his head. He's bald.

He's popping around. He's putzing around. He's just this fat. old Richard Simmons, blucking around like a slug in his house. Of course he doesn't want to go out. But you know if that was actually possible, I mean, TMZ would have a shot, right?

I mean, you gotta believe. You gotta believe. There's, come on now. There's cameramen everywhere. Right? The paparazzi are everywhere. You're not telling me there's not a guy positioned around Richard Simmons' house

with a lens that can shoot through concrete. Right? We haven't seen him? So now they think that Teresa Revelles is holding the aerobics instructor. That's what Richard Simmons is, an aerobics instructor? Shut up.

Washington Post. At his home against his will, there was something about this housekeeper holding him hostage and not allowing people to see him and preventing him from making phone calls. Not true. Not true. Everything is fine. Don't worry about it. Because last year, he called into the Today Show. Again, he called in, right? He doesn't show up. Richard Simmons, the guy that's sitting on everybody's lap, he's bouncing up and down, he's got his little black tennies on, he's got his little red-orange shorts, he's got his little t-shirt on, he's got his hair plugs on, he's bouncing around.

don't be fat exercise that guy he's going to call in but he does no one is holding me in my house as a hostage he said on the call you know I do what I want to do as I have always done so people should sort of just believe what I have to say because I'm like Richard Simmons we have to find that audio because I want to hear seriously see if we can find that audio because I want to hear what he sounds like, see if he sounds like he had, you know, a housekeeper to his head. When asked about having the rumor of having his housekeeper, having him under arrest,

Simmons responded, that's just very silly. Teresa Rivelles has been with me for 30 years. It's almost like we're a married couple. Maybe to her, right? Maybe she's like, no. So I just wanted to sort of a little bit of, she's, I sort of wanted to be a little bit of a loner for a while, He told Savannah Guthrie. You know, I had hurt my knee, Savannah, and I had some problems with it.

And then the other knee started giving me trouble because I've taught like thousands and thousands of classes. You know, right now I just want to sort of take care of me. Well, that's what he said on the Today Show. So he called into the Today Show. Come on. He calls in. Hello, this is Richard Simmons. like to speak to Zavanna Guthrie, please?

How do you call it in the day show? You go through the switchboard? I walked by that stupid NBC building in New York and the ABC. Good Morning America. I was the mayor of Good Morning America on Four Square when I was working in New York, by the way.

He walked by there every morning with the crowd standing out there with their stupid little signs and everything. You call in. You can't even walk by without a guard going. Keep moving. You don't have a sign. You're not clapping for the show. Keep moving.

So a police officer, a Los Angeles police officer, has reported that the police department recently visited Richard Simmons House on a welfare check. And isn't that special if they did that? Man, it's nice of the Los Angeles Police Department. On a welfare check, after all the rumors about the housekeeper holding him hostage, The police officer claims they found him perfectly fine, very happy. Okay. And that's all they said.

We found him perfectly fine and perfectly happy. I'm sorry, very happy. Thank you. I mean, did he, did you see him? Or was he in the other? I am fine. Nobody is holding me hostage. I am fine.

Have we found the audio today? Show. Come on Today Show. NBC has not have blocked that. Come on now. There has to be audio of the Richard Simmons call. Has to be. Look, I'm going to take a break. We're going to find this Richard Simmons audio because... This is the Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network. Jeff Fisher.

So we found the audio of Richard Simmons on the Today Show last year, saying he was not a hostage. For all the people that are worrying about me, I want to tell him that I love them with my whole heart and soul. And that, not to worry, Richard's fine. I am not being held hostage. Everything is fine. Really? This is the Jeff Fisher Show.

Only on the Blaze Radio Network.
