Easter weekend, bless you. Of course, it's everybody wants to be with the family. Get the sunrise service. It'll be nice. And nobody wants to say out loud that they believe in the Easter Bunny. You know, every store sales $8 billion worth of chocolate money, so somebody still believes in the Easter money. Okay?

Somebody does. It's been a busy week, though. Wow. I mean, we were spent the week a couple of fantastic interviews on the Glenn Beck radio program. First of all, I don't want to promo his show because these guys are great. But we spent a couple of days with the deep undercover, the former Russian spy. We spent yesterday we talked to the soldier Who told us some of the rules of engagement and what's been going on in Afghanistan and Iraq that is just

Unbelievable So if you have an opportunity Go back and listen to those interviews fascinating The Deep Undercover the former Russian spy I really I started reading the book last night and I'm I really want to do a like a ten-part series with them Fascinating It would be interesting.

I could be a spy. Yeah, I could be a spy. Well, it might be not. But it's nice to, you know, pretend. And then, you know, it's anniversary week. I'm married to this one for 15 years. And it's, you know, fun, fun, fun. And, of course, the day that is our anniversary,

I was supposed to go out to dinner, we did that stupid bit on the Pat and Stu show. and, you know, we did the story earlier in the week or last week about the guy that set the world record for eating 255 peeps in five minutes. So, you know, we had to do the bit, you know, and look, I'm not a, I am not a sprint eater. I'm like the Kenyan of eaters. I'm just long distance. But I also, you know, there's a limit.

I understand that at a point when you get to, you know, if you're going to, you know, If you're going to be overweight, there's several points at which you either stop or you power through. Most of the time you power through. There's no such thing as, oh boy, I'm full. I need to stop. No. Just finish. But I did the stupid peeps thing, and it was two hours of how many peeps you could eat on just a regular eating.

It wasn't trying to set up. record, wasn't trying to, you know, would just be if you were home by yourself and had unlimited peeps. And so it was about, I mean, the bit was two hours, but really that show ended up being about an hour and 40 minutes, hour and 45 minutes. And, you know, so I hit 71 peeps. And I put a stop to the dinner on the anniversary night. I just let you know. I wasn't sick, but I wasn't. up for much of anything either. And I will say that after about 50-55, you're starting to think, you know, I've just about

had enough of these. And that peep sugar is everywhere. In fact, I thought I cleaned it off everything, and then I went to get my mouse pad to use during the radio show today that I use on the desk for the TV show, and it still had still had peep dust on it, which got me thinking about the stupid peep show. And then we told you about, you know what, we're just going to go down the list of things.

I'm going to get it off the plate today before we start getting into a serious business. We told you about Dom Theodore, the head of Blaze Radio, his automobile accident a few weeks ago. He is recovering. He's been home. He's recovering, doing rehab.

It's his birthday today. Happy birthday. Down. Another one checked off the list. car accident or no car accident. So happy birthday. And is it wrong? First of all, I don't think,

I don't think the baby giraffe at the New York Zoo in, where is it, Harper'sville, New York. I don't think that, I don't think it's real. I don't think there's ever going to be a baby giraffe. For the past two or three months, baby's coming, baby's coming, there's no, you click on, it's click bait. And you click on to the stupid giraffe video, and the giraffe is, you know, standing there.

And I'm like, okay, come on. Well, now apparently they claim that she is in, you know, all out labor. She's wandering around. So, you know, the baby's coming, I guess. So, you know, of course, I'm hooked. So I clickbait on it. All April is doing is, you know, bending her neck around and smelling or licking her butt. I mean, of course, I stated watched, but I'm telling you, you know, that's all that's happening.

So I don't think it's real. I think that the zoo is going to come out and go, um, the giraffe was never pregnant. We just, uh, we wanted to raise some funds for the zoo. And,

uh, the giraffe that looks like, uh, was a baby was just one of the toys or us stuff, giraffes. Okay. But I think actually, now watching,

uh, April wander around here and continue to, uh, refresh her rear. Uh, I believe that the baby giraffe is quite possibly on the way. So congratulations.

Maybe we can have a whole naming party, and they may have already. I'm not familiar with the Harper'sville, New York, giraffe baby naming going on. So they very well may have done that. What else has happened? I mean, I'm going to Austin this weekend. It's right after the show.

We'll get everything out of the way today before we get into the store. We're going to Austin this weekend, so spend a little time in the city of Austin, and we'll see what's happening in the great, the great city of Austin. See if I can actually, I don't know, get a grocery bag. Coming out of the grocery store. I'm sure you can. You can buy that cloth one right there for three bucks. Or you can carry it out with, just hold it in your hands and carry it out to your car,

but you're not getting any plastic bag, okay? Actually, I think the last store I went to in Austin They charged me like $18 for the plastic bag And just to piss them off, I'll pay it You want plastic? It'll cost you Yes And when you look outside

I'm going to throw it in the dirt too Okay, I paid for it, I'll throw it in the dirt First of then you'll be arrested in Austin And the whole thing will go to hell But it'll be kind of cute You know, we get to see to spend the family on Easter there might be, you know, Easter Bunny sighting. No, I was teasing.

It's an Easter Bunny. It will come, though. I mean, it's possible to have an Easter family gathering without a chocolate Easter Bunny delivered by the Easter Bunny. Hello? And I heard Michael Pelka, his show, airs before this one. You know, warms up the network for me. And he was saying that there's some children's theater thing and they go to all the time.

He, they're having their little Easter Bunny parade thing going on today. He claimed. He made it quite a, quite a strong statement that he wasn't the Easter Bunny, which made me think that he is the Easter Bunny. So if anyone happens to be in the, whatever God-awful state he lives in Delaware

in his little children theater thing, I mean, I would stop by and take a picture. It could be worth something. I don't know what, but it could be worth something. And then, of course, it's the day of the sun. I had the big party in North Korea, and we were all worried about, you know, little Kimmy launching a nuke, and they had everything moving.

And now they're thinking they maybe got them in check because they had the big celebration and the big party, and they were all hoops stepping down the street with their military uniforms. and I looked at some of the pictures, and they show, you know, dressed in suits, and these guys are taking behind cameras. And I wonder if those cameras are actually working. I doubt it.

I think that they're just there for show. You know, the other cameras that you see, the video cameras are all okayed through Little Kimmy. But those guys down on the street, no way they're taking pictures. Not a chance. He's not allowing that at all. No way. And he's got, I'm looking forward to it. Right? We're ready for the first response. They responded to the United States Navy, whereas we sent our strike group to the Korean Peninsula.

They responded with the DPRK, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. It's ready to react in any mode of war desired by the U.S. We will take the toughest counteraction against the provocateur. in order to defend ourselves by powerful force of arms. Uh-huh. Are you? Are you? So I know that they're talking about us having a preemptive strike if we think he's got a nuke.

Now, look, he might have one. Or he might be able to put it on the head of a missile. Right? I think that's what they're concerned about. And, you know, look, he's not going to reach us, but he's going to do some harm. The bad thing is that if we do a preventive strike, I mean, now you're looking at thousands of deaths,

if not millions. Then he'll just launch into Seoul. And it'll be ugly. And they saw the borders, you know, gearing up a little bit. Russia sent some troops to the North Korea-Russian border. China, you know, China doesn't want that to happen. How many refugees do you think?

Do you think China, Russia, Japan wants North Korean refugees plowing into their country? No. And South Korea, no. Right. So, good luck. I mean, I hope that they, I hope that it works out. I mean, I have a feeling while it was quiet on their big celebration day, that's still kind of going on, I think.

They're like 18 days ahead of us or something, so we're kind of behind. with getting the news. But they're still celebrating. It's the end of the celebration day of the day of the sun. Little Kimmy is still partying, and he's got all his party buddies there, except China didn't show up. China didn't show up, which means, I mean, I think they're telling little Kimmy, check yourself before you wreck yourself, Kimmy.

But one of the things that I found during the celebration was the national anthem of North Carolina. Korea. Now, I don't know that I want to play at all for you because you're just going to be singing it all day. So I might just, you know, I might just stop it or just go into it a little bit. And I may, you know, play it a couple of times today because it's just, oh my gosh, it is so catchy. I thought, I thought that's what they were playing when I heard the news clip last night. And so, you know, I went online and I listened to it. And man, it is like so, catchy. You are going to be, and I apologize

before I air it, because you know how song is getting your head. And you hear a couple of tunes, or you're walking through a store, and you hear something on their music system, and, you know, then you're singing the song for two days. At least I am. And I've been whistling the North Korean National Anthem now for

hours. Huh? The DPRK is ready to react to any mode of war desired by the U.S. We will take the toughest counteraction against the provocateurs in order to defend ourselves by powerful force of all.

I'm sorry. I know. I know. No, no, no, don't bring it down. No, no. Oh, man, I am. I may have to post a link because some of the words you miss when they're singing it. So, you know, the one video that I have has got, you know,

the translation, so I don't want you to miss it any. I mean, it almost makes you want to. I was getting it there. Seriously. No, just, I don't know if I should play the rest of it, because you're already going to be whistling the whole thing all day. You know, I mean, I don't want to miss this. You're listening to the Jeff Fisher Show.

Yes, it looks as if today is the day.

In fact, we may have a baby giraffe actually out of the mother before the end of this broadcast. Because right now, partial giraffe is out of April in the zoo. I don't know how many people are watching live online, but apparently giraffes, when the mother starts turning their neck to lick their behind, that's when the baby's on the way. continues to do that so on, but there are two legs. Most drafts I think have four, so it's not a complete birth yet, but there is, birth is happening, and so there are two legs coming out of the rear of April.

And one of the things that I'm a little concerned about is that there's one camera back up here in the corner, perhaps the zoo should have thought about, hey, maybe we should put a camera on the other side too. Because if this damn giraffe comes up here in this front corner where we can't see it and has this baby, I am going to be a little more than upset, okay? Did you know that when it comes to treating a serious illness? And this is actually kind of concerning. I read this earlier in the week.

Two brains are better than one, according to a new study. Nine in ten people who go for a second opinion. after seeing a doctor, are likely to leave with a refined or new diagnosis from what they were first told. So that means among updated diagnosis, 66% received a refined or redefined diagnosis. 21% were diagnosed with something completely different. Wait, what?

Now, I know that's not a problem because insurance companies just say, hey, go get a check. Go, go check it out. Go to all the specialists you want. Don't you worry about it. We'll cover it for you. Uh-huh. And they also are concerned that patients may face unexpected expenditures. Yeah, you think that's what I'm talking about.

Insurance companies, oh, sure, you can go ahead and have that check. No problem. We're not paying for it, though. So good luck. God bless. But if you don't do it, what then? It could be an issue. Could be an issue.

Oh my gosh. And now April is facing the exact opposite way of the camera. If we can't see this draft board, I'm suing the zoo. That's it. The Jeff Fisher Show, the Blaze Radio Network. I thought I could break that 92. I'm a little disappointed at myself, man. But I'm telling you, I mean, 71.

I realize that's, you know, for most people, that's probably pretty good. But I was a little disappointed in myself. And, I mean, it did kind of spoil the anniversary evening. So, you know, I'm sorry about that. And my wife knows that I love her, and it's all good. So we got a little bit more on the giraffe. I can't take my eyes off this stupid giraffe. It's unbelievable.

And I just got message by like 10 people. There's feet. There's feet. I know. Look at this show. It's real. It's unbelievable. Now, as the other giraffe, do we know if the other giraffe in the other little cordoned-off room is the partner or the girlfriend?

I mean, it was this artificially inseminated? or was it, you know, did these two giraffes take care of a little business? Or what's the deal? Because he or she is wandering around a little jumpy. He's got his head on me. He's kind of freaking out a little bit, so I'm guessing that's the dad. You should get the zoo on the line. Nobody else is calling him right now.

So, anyway, Elizabeth's a busy week this week. Did you know that? One of my favorite parts of this week was the Sean Spicer, Hitler, comment. Oh, my God. I used gas in World War II. Now, everybody in the world knows exactly what he was talking about. And if he came out and apologized, he should have apologized for, you know, I'm sorry, I forgot how dumb the American people are. Everyone knows what I was referring to.

In fact, then we go back and we find commentators across the board. Even one of their favorites, at least was for a while, Chris Matthews, saying the same stupid thing. Did the world go on fire then? No. Why? Because you knew what he was talking about. He wasn't talking about the horrors of the concentration camps and the killing of the Jews. He was talking about the battlefield.

But whatever. It's agonizing. And then we had Alabama governor, or what is now the former Alabama governor, Robert Bentley. He resigned. The House Judiciary Committee in Alabama, they were going to impeach him, and then he cut a deal and stepped down. Now, he's been divorced for a year or so now. Now, this has been going on for quite a while, and they finally got him on, you know,

misappropriation of funds, right? So he pled guilty to two misdemeanors. They booked him. He had to resign. He had to promise he would never seek public office again. Now, he's, you know, like 74 now, I think, or something? like that. And the plea deal also states that he's going to waive all retirement benefits,

perform 100 hours of community service as his, as a doctor, he's a medical doctor, and he's going to pay $50,000 in fines for reimbursements to the campaign funds. Wow. Family man. What are you doing? So, they've been divorced for a little while now, and he was been, he was

cheating on his wife with his, what was then his, I guess you'd call her chief of staff, right? Mason, what's her name, Rebecca, I think? Rebecca Mason. And they've been hot together for quite some time. In fact, and the wife became suspicious and finally caught him, and then, you know, now we're in a divorce. and Rebecca Mason, the girlfriend, she's back with Hubby, she's married, and Hubby is apparently in his statement has forgiven her, and they're back together again.

So, I mean, it was all just fun and games. Now, the governor made some missteps, first of all, which was a huge problem if you're going to cheat. Like, for instance, in 2013, with Mason's family still living in Tuscaloosa, the girlfriend's family, still living in Tuscaloosa, she began spending her nights in the governor's mansion's pool house. I would guess you shouldn't let your girlfriend spend the nights in the pool house. That's probably number one on my list. The governor also sent her text messages that said, I love you, Rebecca. Okay, Gov.

You know better than to be specific with love you's in text messages. It's never, I love you, Bill. It's, I love you, I love you too. Generic, generic I love you's. Good for anybody. Nobody gets suspicious. Love you too. And plus, don't you have, really, don't you have some kind of,

don't you write a note you write in text messages and you screw up and text your wife and Mrs. Bentley the wife began noticing that her journal in her journal that her husband was not as affectionate no longer told her he loved her

she also commented that her husband no longer held her hand when they were walking together and he claimed that he tried to justify it by it makes me look weak as a governor shut up. A, you never change little things like that. That's just dumb.

Right? I mean, of course you hold her hand if you've been cheating on her. In fact, there's been numerous studies that have talked about how when you're having an affair, the person who is having an affair becomes more affectionate to the spouse. because, you know, I guess they're feeling guilty about having the affair, whatever. But, I mean, you're walking with your wife, hold her hand, right? No, that's a sign that should not, they should never have if you're going to cheat on her. Or him.

Now, the wife became suspicious. She's thinking, hey, something is up here. Now, I'm going to catch him since we. We go everywhere, and she goes everywhere with us. So they bring the girlfriend to the beach house for the weekend. That's the problem. I never, don't bring the, don't bring the girlfriend, the wife, the beach house at the same time?

That's just, I mean, the guy was having some issues right here. So they're all at the beach house, and the wife goes for a walk. now she has secretly put in a recording device in the beach house so she goes for a walk and comes back and listens to the recording and the governor is all over his girlfriend Rebecca saying how much he loves her and wanting to put her hands on her breasts and wanting to touch her

not a good move gov not a good move so the wife has got them you know hands down there right and it's not I mean come on now now also So as far as text messages goes, everything, there were times when the governor would text the girlfriend with emojis, which, okay, governor texting the girlfriend with emojis is an issue all alone, but we'll let that one slide for a little bit. And it was roses, and the wife is, and he text the wife and send the girlfriend again. And the wife is like, why is he texting me emojis? A sure sign.

A sure sign that is an issue. All right. Let me just say that. If you're going to cheat and you have a girlfriend, get a second phone. Get a burner phone. Use that for the girlfriend. Are you carrying two phones now? Yes.

One's for you. Personal. This one's work. It's all work. Sorry. Or you, you know, you try to keep that second phone secret for as long as you can. But sooner or later, you know, the second phone. And the second phone comes out and that's just got to be for work.

You could write letters. Again, I go back to, you know, just write little notes. You can burn those bad boys. Nobody ever gets caught by busting with little notes, right? Letters. I mean, but, you know, that skill is long gone. Although the governor is in his 70s, so he's got to have some kind of skill of writing, right? So the gov, I mean, you think to yourself, well, it didn't affect, you know, he denied it and denied it and denied it.

And it affected his leadership for quite a while because they've had this sneaking around thing. He denied the affairs. He's got the divorce. And really, and he's been, it was the misappropriation of funds that, you know, that was really the issue. But he had hired the girlfriend and her husband's company to do some work. So they made a bunch of money. That's why hubby, hubby's like, yeah, whatever. You got to be with the go, go ahead.

be with the Gov, all right. He's just dumping money into this business. All we have to do is walk around and go, Governor Bentley's Gray, Governor Bentley's Gray. Where's PR firm? Okay. Spend a few thousand and the rest hundreds of thousands of dollars are all hours. So go.

He'll be with the Gov. So that's why he's for getting. He's like, it's over? I don't have to, I have to actually be with you all alone now. I mean, he might have been cheating too. know the story. That'd be an interesting backstory to see if the Rebecca Mason girlfriend of the governor if her husband was cheating on her the whole time too. So maybe they had the open relationship and hers was paying off. Maybe his was paying off too. Maybe they were busy. Maybe he was with

a son. I don't know. That's just speculation on my part. But just remember, okay, don't spend denied it. Don't let the girlfriend spend the night at the pool house, especially when the wife is there, staying in the main house. Never be specific with love you's and text messages, with names. That's dumb. Never.

It's always, Hey, governor, whatever your stupid name is. Robert. Hey, Robert, love you. Love you, too. See how easy that is? Reply, love you too. Or he would probably send a heart you too.

Don't change habits. Like the holding hands habit, if you're sitting at some event, some governor event and you normally put your arm around her, put your arm around her. It's okay. The girlfriend will understand it will make it better because the girlfriend will be pissed

that you're sitting like that and you can apologize to her and it'll make that time with her even hotter. never bring oh whatever you do don't bring the wife and the girlfriend to the beach house at the same time I mean that's clear right and you need to have a burner phone or you know at least a second phone you don't have to call it a burner you don't have to go to Walmart and get the burner phone from the for the convenience store around the corner but you need that second phone now there are a few things that there's a few more things on the list that you shouldn't do but uh

I'm saving those for me. This is the Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network. The Jeff Fisher Show. Oh, oh. It looks like the giraffe is April is over, back in the corner and really struggling with the birth. It looks like, I mean, I'll just push. Push! but there's a little bit,

it looks like there's a little bit more of the baby giraffe child, uh, protruding from April. So, I mean, hopefully it happens in the next couple hours, right? I don't know how long it takes to give birth to a giraffe.

It can't be that long. Spread your legs and drop that thing. So health officials in Hawaii have been warning residents not to touch snails or slugs with their bare hands because of an increase in cases of people coming into contact with a rare parasitic infection known as rat. NGOs, strongulous can't. That's fine.

That's the real name of it, but it's called rat. Lungworm. Now, they're blaming its sudden spread across the United States on, of course, climate change and globalization. I mean, of course, there could be no other. cause than that, right? Now it's popped up in other states, California, Alabama, Louisiana, Florida. The first known case, Taiwan, 1944. Now it's believed to spread to the U.S., of course, by cargo ships full of rats.

Rat lungworm. It's a parasitic nematode. And it goes by the name of... Engio Strongulus Cantonensis. It goes by the name of... Engio Strongulus Cantoninus. Exactly. What does it go by the name of again?

Engio Strongless Cantononis. Yeah. It begins its life as an infection in rats' lungs, blood and brains. From there, the rats defecate worm larvae that spread to other creatures like snails, slugs and freshwater shrimp. Humans might eat one of these infected hosts, or they might eat produce that has had the worm transferred to it by a host.

If you get something transferred to you by the name of NGO-strangulus cantoninus. You have rat lungworm. Now, you know, I don't know what else to tell you. Apparently, you do not want to get. NGO strongulus cantoninosis. You don't want that.

That's rat lungworm. Holy cow, you do not want rat lungworm. Ooh. I mean, I don't know what all... Oh, wait, here we go. Rat lungworm disease moves into the brain. It can cause meningitis. It has symptoms include tremors, pain, and inflammation.

You seriously do not want this. This is the Jeff Fisher Show. Only on the Blaze Radio Network. Holy cow. I turned my head for a second to tell you, about rat lungworm and the giraffe is born. April, the giraffe drops the kit. Unbelievable.

I'm talking to you about mental infections from rat lung worms and it's unbelievable to me. I turn around as we go to the end of the break and April has had the baby. The baby has been dropped in the zoo. It actually was true to life. A fantastic, beautiful child has been born to April, but it's not a child. it's actually a giraffe. And it's amazing. So it actually did happen.

And congratulations to April. I think the other one is the dad because the dad's poking his head over going, holy cow, now I've got this stupid kid to take care of. What am I doing here? So congratulations to April and congratulations to the New York Zoo for finally telling the truth

and dropping a baby giraffe.
