The Blaze Radio Network On Demand. The experiment was a success. Begin Life Force reboot program. Now. Stand clear. Life signs stable. It's alive.

Set it loose. This is the Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network. Good to the broadcast. How in the world are you? 888-903.33 is the phone number. Now, most would say, isn't that, is that a beer? No, no. This is a Coca-Cola zero, okay?

Coca-Cola zero. No, there's no alcohol mix, and you don't need alcohol to enjoy an ice-cold Coca-Cola Zero. Now, has there been a, did I miss, like, a recall or something on Coke Zero? because for a while here in the Metroplex, DFW, there was kind of a lack of Coke zeros, a shortage, if you will. And some of the big box stores like Sam's Club and Costco did not have the cases of Coca-Cola Zero.

And some of the grocery chains did not have Coca-Cola zeros at all. They had once in a while you'd have some 12 packs. And once in a while you have a couple 20 packs. But that was it. And so I'm just wondering what was there revamping? Even the big box stores were, you know, where you have, and not only the big box store, but the petrol stations like racetrack and QT. You know how they have the soda fountains, the soda.

And you go up and you get, you know, Pepsi, Coke, Coke Zero. There was no Coke Zero. I about went through the roof at Sam's Club because I thought, oh, okay, no problem. You know, at least I'll get an ice cold Coke Zero on ice from the soda fountain. Even though I prefer, they have a separate can or bottle. The soda, I mean, the soda Coke Zero is, if the syrup is new, it's okay. And if I mix the proper ice, that's to be just right, though. Sometimes I screw it up.

I know it's a surprise. They didn't even have that. I couldn't believe, there was no Coke zero. I couldn't believe it. Now, maybe Coke Cola had a glutton of Diet Coke and that they needed to get rid of before it went out of date, which is very possible. So instead of creating Coke Zero,

more Coke Zero, they just, we'll let Coke Zero run out and then they'll have to buy Diet Coke. And we'll just force them to buy Diet Coke and drink Diet Coke until that, until we get the almost out of date one's gone, and then we'll create some more Coke zero. That's possible that that could have happened. Yeah. Or some of the grocery chains, instead of having the big cases, some of the grocery chains had purchased pallets of 12 packs and 20 packs at a deal, and those were starting to get

out of date. So instead of creating more of the giant cases, they said, okay, well, we'll let the grocery chains sell out of the sodas they've got in the back so they don't go out of date. Because what the grocery chains will do, the stores, at least back in the old time days, if Coke had a sale on cases of Coca-Cola for, you know, $2 a 12-pack. And they would be running a sale for your chain at, you know, whatever, $3 a 12-pack or whatever it is. So you buy 10 pallets, let's say, for example, of Coca-Cola's at $2 a case. Well, what you do is you want to order a little bit more so that when the Coke goes back to regular price,

you're selling some of the Coca-Cola you purchased at the sale price. So you're making a tad bit more money on the same product. Maybe that was the case. I don't know. But I just, I'm glad that we're back to the plethora of Coke zeros in the DFW area. So I heard Michael Pel could do a story. about a Middle East airline who's decided that they're going to try to auction off empty seats for their airline if people want to fly. It's a Middle Eastern airline based in the United Arab Emirates.

They said in a statement that customers will be able to bid for the seats at the time of booking with successful offers being confirmed 30 hours prior to departure. so you could bid on a seat next to you and it would be your seat or be empty and no one would be there. Well, I'm surprised. Now, he told the story of Montel Williams, but am I missing something that if I wanted to buy another seat next to me

and I mean, why can't I? They make me if they think that I'm, oh, you're obese and have to buy an extra seat, they make me buy that. So if I bought the seat next to me and just wanted it to be open, you know, so. And then if you're on the plane,

I mean, I've flown on a number of flights, and not in the last couple years. But prior to that, when the airlines used to have, you know, a couple of extra flights more than they do now because they like to keep them, you know, overbooked now so that every plane has, you know, 18 zillion people on it and you're shoved in there, you know,

shoulder to shoulder and nut to butt and that's the way it goes and you get dragged off if they have a pilot that has to get on. Not that that happens. But if you get on a plane

and let's say I sit down in row B and row B has two people in it. Me and another person. And yet in back five rows there's three or four rows open. Well,

either after the plane takes off or if the stewardess, the stewardess allows it, I know it's the flight attendant, I got it, don't look at me like that. If they allow it, you can just go back there and sit. Just go back there and sit. So everybody has more space. I've flown a bunch of flights like that. That's ridiculous. The airlines are starting to get out of control.

Tell you that right. And I'm still pissed at the guy that got drug off the plane. I'm pissed at him. I'm mad at the people, the other people on the plane that had such a, oh my God, I can't believe what they're doing. I'm mad at them. I'm mad at the airlines for dragging him off. Because the guy should have never been drunk off.

He should have got off on his own. the people on the airplane are so upset why didn't one of them stand up after the fourth or fifth time that they said we're going to have to drag you out of you know get off the plane and he said all through the time I can't get off I'm not going to get off I'm not going to get off somebody so heartfelt and hurt that look this person he's not going to get off and I don't want him to get drug off

you know what I'll come off the play why didn't that happen so that whole thing I hope they never get their business back I'll tell you that. That's all I'm saying about the airlines. And they come in, I, the flight path at DFW, they are coming in two, well, DFW has, I think, three or four actual landing strips that they use during the day. Two of them all the time. I mean, those planes are coming and going all day long.

And two at a time, baby. and then they've got a couple of far ones I mean DFW is this huge airport Actually the land That it's on is bigger When you think of New York I mean think of Manhattan

DFW Airport has more land than Manhattan Okay So remember that when you fly into DFW and you taxi for 18 hours Before you get to the terminal That's because you've actually landed in Montana I mean it's big So, I mean, you, you taxi quite a ways, quite a ways.

But that's why. But anyway, this airport cranks it out. It's amazing to me how many planes come in and out of here every day. So the airlines, when they start crying poor, I just look up and, okay. All right, yep, that's you guys. You guys are poor. That's for sure. That is for sure.

All right, so what's left? You know what? I was, I'm looking at some stories about when Amazon bought Whole Foods and now what's going to happen and if they're going to fire all the cashiers and how they're going to, what they're going to do to the industry. And there's big stories on that. There's also big stories on now if you're in an industry, and we've talked about this before on this broadcast. If you're in an industry that hasn't been disrupted the way a lot of other retail businesses have, it's coming. It's coming. So be ready. I mean, over 58% of executives report that they have invested over $100 million in data in order to get ahead of the curve.

So it's coming. And Amazon is just, you know, the first. And if you're still doing things the way you've always done them, start thinking about how to do it differently, especially any kind of business. Oh, my gosh. You guys, I mean, Amazon now with Whole Foods. And, I mean, we live in the Metroplex.

And there are a lot of places around America that aren't so close to distribution centers for Amazon. but I mean I can order something from Amazon Prime now on my app it'll be here before the end of the show and they're they what they want to do is they want to be able to just I want they want me to go yeah I'd like this case of Coke Zero's delivered you know and I order it and I push order and about two minutes later the case drops on my house

I mean, that's what Amazon is hoping. And I'm a fan of that. Man, do you need some more Coke zeros? Boop. And they're at the house. I ordered, I mean, I ordered some books. Not for me. I don't read.

But some books the other day. And I mean, they're there. Hello? And they're there. So I'm Amazon Prime, big fan. But. Like Walmart's trying to catch up a little bit. I mean, Walmart doesn't quite do that.

Now, you can order. You can pull up to Walmart and they'll bring it out to your car. I mean, that's kind of nice. Right? I mean, it's kind of nice. I like that. You know, there's a lot of stores that are, you know, delivering now with the, with the,

I'm trying to think of the one app. Ah, I can't remember the name of the app now, but you can get they, and it's for free. Yes, you can, you know. tip the people who are delivering, but I mean, they'll, they go shopping for you. Send them a list. They'll shop for you. Bring it to the house.

And if they don't have the particular product that you wanted, they'll text you and say, hey, they're out of Heinz ketchup. You want hunts? I mean, of course the answer is no. Go someplace else to get Heinz, dummy is the reply. But bring it right to your house, right then and there. Hello. And for a little bit more money.

need me to put this away for you too, sir? Nope, I already got a wife. But, you know, if you don't have a wife. And now they're concerned about the malls across America. I mean, stores are closing down left and right. We've talked about it here. Brick and mortar stores are gone because people are able to, oh, I don't know, order on the internet

and have it delivered to their home. That's not the same as just going to the store and being able to feel the blouse and the fabric. Well, there'll be a few stores for you to go to, but, you know, good luck. God bless. Because Amazon will drop it on the top of your house in two hours, and you'll have the blouse of that, and then you'll be good.

Now, I believe that what's going to happen to the malls is that, you know, ESPN will start having drone races. They've just signed a big contract for drone races, and you can just start using the malls for their drone races. Those are the tracks. I know. Look, an imagination, huh? My idea.

Donald Trump's got nothing on me. I'll tell you that. But I think what they're going to do is either A, they're going to take some of these malls and just completely knock them down and make warehouses because they need distribution centers for companies like Amazon, like Walmart. What's left? I mean, you've got Google. Every week we think about what's actually going to.

to be left and it's coming fast. Amazon, Google, Facebook, pretty soon either Amazon or Facebook will probably buy Netflix. Might as well. Netflix sold for $832 billion. It was cheap.

So that wouldn't surprise me. Google or Facebook. I mean, Amazon's doing their prime production, so it's going to be Google's turn to get to buy Netflix. So you'll have Amazon, Google,

Facebook, Walmart. Anyone else? I don't know. I don't know. Maybe some of the bigger grocery chains will they probably would

beat Amazon with the whole food. I mean, Amazon's got the whole foods, but they're not going to take on the major grocery chains. chains probably that's that's a tough sell so you end up with maybe four or five grocery chains across america the distribution centers for all of those so if you're if you are doing it things the same way as always think again i mean i the old story of uh of making a roast and cutting the

the ends off the roast when you make the roast before you bake it and the old the little girl asks her mom why she cuts the ends off the roast. And the mom says, I don't know, we've always done it that way. Ask your grandma. And the little girl goes to her grandma and says, Grandma, how come we always cut the ends off the roast before we bake it, put it in the oven and bake it? And the grandma says, I don't know.

Ask your great-grandmother. That's the way we've always done it. A little girl goes to the great-grandmother. Says, great-grandma, how come we cut the ends off of the roast before we put it in the oven? And the great grandma says, I used to cut it off like that because I didn't have a pan big enough.

And I see a text post from one of the people on my timeline who talks about lightning just hit our house and drywall just exploded all over our bathroom from the ceiling and fried an outlet. Now, I see the response from my wife, obviously everything's okay and she was, you know, outside taking pictures whenever there's a huge lightning storm. That's what she does.

But her belief. She won't let anybody take a shower when there's a lightning storm going on because the lightning might hit the house and you maybe get fried in the shower. And I like, it never happens. I mean, it never happens. And now I've got to see this in my timeline, which just makes her believe that she's right. I mean, you should be able to, right? You should be able to take showers during a lightning storm.

Nothing's going to happen, right? Right. Absolutely. All right, we've got Daniel on the line in Florida. We've got Greg on the line. We'll talk to them when we come back on the other side. Talk a little bit about what's left in the future, the companies of the future here in America. Because it's not going to be many.

It's not going to be very many at all. And the sad thing is the companies that are left, at least for now, do it better. So, thank you. The Jeff Fisher Show, the Blaze Radio Network. Show returns on the Blaze Radio Network. Power Saturday. The Blaze Radio Network. I do.

Where's my music? 23 Saturday. Take the third caller. Quest. Get your lunch hour started early. The Blaze. All right. Hey, 88, 90, 3093 is the phone number.

Greg, you are on the broadcast. Welcome to it. yeah hey geoffie next time you and um glan and pat and stew are talking about all these future companies you have to remember about the documentary with um what's his name sylvestre stalone and wesley snipes i believe three seashells are involved and but basically it reminds us that the only restaurant that's going to still exist will be taco bill thank you very much i appreciate it i will remember that's a very important company and you know Look, those companies are, they've got to stick around too.

We've got to think about the fast food. I mean, that's going to be tough. Now, they're going to have to change. I'll tell you, there are like McDonald's. You know, we can talk about, you know, menus and all that. But there is a McDonald's in this neck of the woods that is probably the prototype of what a McDonald's should be. They've got the double drive-thru. and they head them up and move them out, man.

Whoever runs that store, they need to train McDonald's all over America. Because that particular McDonald's, man, that line can be out to the road. And it's like you pull in order, and you almost don't stop. I mean, obviously you do. But you almost don't stop through that.

You just go in, number five, pay out, gone. They are moving. And you get lulled once in a while because not far from that McDonald's in the same lot, just over a little bit, is a Burger King.

And you pull in and you think, oh, look at all those cars at McDonald's. There's nobody at the Burger King. I'll go to the Burger King. Bad call. Bad call. Because by the time you're out of the Burger King parking lot, McDonald's parking lot has already gone through

three rows of cars. They were, I mean, you get lulled into this. Oh, hey, nobody's at Burger King. There's a reason no one is at Burger King, okay? Because they are not following that game plan. It's pretty impressive. It's pretty impressive. Now, I don't eat McDonald's.

I'm just saying that I noticed how impressive their particular business model is. Daniel, you are on the broadcast. Welcome to it. Hey, Jeffrey, how are you doing? I'm fantastic. Thank you. I want to do here. Hey, so I think I know what the future of America's mall could be. Nice.

There's an engineering company ready to do it. There was this building in Korea. I think they call it a 59 building. It's a huge tower. The entire thing is nothing but a self-contained entertainment complex, complete with roller coasters, arcades, restaurants, you know, Tiltreworld stores that families and young people. would shop at for going there for fun you could literally go there and lose yourself

for a week before you realize the time has passed that's kind of cool yeah and these malls are so huge you could do something you could do the same kind of thing you know something like that could be so popular especially because people um you know in places where the weather tends to be adverse during certain times of the year and it might have to actually make the mall bigger well i mean that's what the i mean that was kind of their plan with the mall of america right i mean You go to the Mall America, you get the same thing. But to refurbish some of the malls that are left, there's going to be an expensive, an expensive on-taking.

So, I mean, if you would like to donate some money to the Mall Revitalization Plan that I have now started, it's a nonprofit organization. It's called the Mall Revitalize.org. And we'll take any money you got. And we're going to start revitalizing the malls across America and putting roller coasters in them all. It checks on the mail. Thank you very much.

Thank you very much. I appreciate it. All right. Thank you. I appreciate it. All right. So, story from Florida this week. It's kind of scary yet.

I don't know that it's good and bad. Why is my... Hold on a second. I cannot continue to talk if my computer is going to run out of battery. And I plugged it in. why is it out of bat? Stop, I can't.

Unplugged. Did someone come in and unplug my computer? Possible. I know it is. I know it is. I know you don't, you don't, listen. There's a reason you don't hear this kind of stuff every day. Okay.

I know. I know. I got it. I understand. It's okay. So the story that I started at, which is, I mean, it's good. it's scary. So a guy goes on vacation from

some city in Florida. There's a ton of of them. Goes up in Tennessee and he's river rafting around and he loses his camera. Drops it in the river. And he figures it's gone. That's gone forever. It's been a couple years.

So some other guy comes along two or three years later now. Fishing, netting, whatever he does. And he finds the camera. He says, hey, Hey, I wonder if the card is still good. Takes the card out. Takes it home.

Plugs it in. Oh my gosh. Look at all the pictures. We should probably try to find this person. I'm going to post some pictures on Facebook to see if anyone knows who they are. Within eight hours. Hey, that's Bill from Florida. I'll tag him.

Hey, Bill, here's your pictures. Look at these. And Bill says, hey, thanks. I want my pictures. I thought they were lost forever. And maybe someday I'll go up in Tennessee and thank you in person. So just remember, remember what you have on your video file, on your photo file. Because what I have on my photo file, I don't want found by anyone else.

and I most definitely don't want them on Facebook going, Hey, is this you? Nope, it sure isn't. Well, I mean, it kind of looks like you. Nope, it sure isn't. And speaking of Florida, you know how crazy Florida is, right? I mean, Florida is out of their mind. And Texas is starting to play a role in that craziness across the United States,

but Florida still is number one. No question for, well, we'll just say crazy stories. And so to keep us abreast of those crazy stories is Chuck in Florida.com. Greetings from Florida, Jeffie, where I will not be on tour with Bill Cosby. Oh, really? That's a shame. I decided. I've been talked to several times about it, but I had to turn him down.

That's a shame. Couldn't work out the time, money. Yeah, all that. Money especially. They'd take a lot of money. What do you got for us? I know Bill is getting ready to do a tour, and so he teaches young people in town halls about sexual assault. And that's very... Well, nothing quite exciting as sexual assault stories in the state of Florida yet from the crazy file.

However, something tragic, something very disheartening and quite painful to read today. Oh, no. Man ditched car after crashing into Doritos truck in Orwell. Orlando. I'm sorry to say, why did he just the Doritos were not recovered. Oh, nice. I'm telling you, I was very scared for a while. Thankfully, my truck comes from another neighborhood, not in Orlando.

But yeah, they have a Doritos truck? They had struck a Doritos box truck late in the evening, about 2.15 a.m. when apparently the cops were in the neighborhood saw the people actually drive away in a truck follow. following them. They left the car and abandoned it there with two handguns in there, apparently. I guess when you got the munchies, you know, what are you going to do? You got to do it. My favorite, I used to have a friend that worked for lays. And I'm not saying that he brought home a lot of bags and bags of chips, but he brought home

bags and bags of chips. That was a good time in my life. Sure. Anything else? Oh, yeah. We got fun stuff today. Deputies in the villages bust suspect of running a chop shop for golf. golf carts and meth lab. The villages. The villages.

I'm a big fan of the villages. The largest growing city in America with 148,000 retirees. And they're all living in one large neighborhood. Apparently, a young woman Kathleen Unrath decided to move in with her great uncle and take care of him while she's just running the largest meth lab in in central Florida for the villages. Nice. Well, the villages, I got to tell you. There's plenty of stories. That doesn't surprise me at all. That place is unbelievable. It has, they have all kinds of, how shall we say, STD stories. Sexual disease stories. Yes, we'll just leave it at that. All the time. So it doesn't surprise me.

It doesn't surprise me that they're, you know, why not? Why not be cooking meth? And why not be selling drugs at the villages. Apparently that's not all they're doing because, you know, it is the largest center for golf cart sales because that's the preferred mode of transportation around there. And they really trick them out. I mean, there's some Cadillac style golf carts going around the villages. But this lady was running a chop shop where apparently they found several stolen parts from other golf carts in the neighborhood.

And they were souping them up right there in the garage. Nice. Yeah. You know, and it's been a while since. since we've heard from former vice president Joe Biden. Who I really likes the villages? At one time, he was actually singing the praises of the villages. The villages.

America's friendliest hometown. The village has that really been confirmed? I've heard several stories, but I mean, he's never owned up to it, as he? The villages. That's a former vice president, Joe Biden, uh, singing, uh, the villages and the, how great they, they are.

America's friendliest hometown. And, uh, does he need to own up to it? I don't know. I mean, it kind of, it really looks like him when you, and it kind of sounded like him too. You know, how, uh, good old,

uh, never mind. I'm, I'm, I'm just going to leave it alone because I've seen the video enough to say, If it's him, it's just scary as hell. You're listening to the Jeff Fisher Show. The Blaze Radio Network. The Villages, America's friendliest hometown. The villages.

America's friendly as hometown. The villages. 888 9-0-303-93 is the phone number. This is the Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network. Thank you so much for coming along for the ride today. Earlier this week, we also found out a little bit of what was in the bloodstream of Carrie Fisher, the actress. Now, I would venture to say that this was just, you know, she had struggled with drugs. for most of her life.

And I think that's just to get her through the day. I mean, she had cocaine, methadone, heroin, ecstasy. And then she also had some prescription jugs, Prozac, Ablify, Lamptical. What is lamb? I should have lamatol. It's got to be for crazy.

It's got to be for crazy. We'll look it up here. It's got to be for crazy. And she has it. had some oxycodone in her system, which she did not have a prescription for. So she just snag somebody's, I got a headache. You need a hydro? Yeah, here's a hydrocodone.

Okay, that'll sell some of my heart. It'll be fine. No problem. An anti-epileptic medication. Oh. Also called an anti-convalescent. All right. That's one.

She had a prescription for that. Ablify and Prozac. I wonder what Ablify does. I don't want to try the other stuff. the anti-apoleptic stuff because I ability. Depression bipolar. Yeah, okay. Okay, so along with Prozac, okay.

So, you know, she struggled with that, but oh my gosh, everybody was talking, everybody had this fit of it. She must have been so stoned. It was so horrible. I don't think so. She was coming back from Europe. She had ecstasy and trace amounts of ecstasy and heroin. So that was from some, you know, little get-together a while ago.

And, you know, she had a little cocaine. So the cocaine, the heroin, the ecstasy, that was all from a little party, you know, a little get-together. You do a little, who doesn't have a party and do a little heroin, a little ecstasy, maybe do a couple of rails, you know, just to get you through. And she's doing methadone. You know, that stops her from doing some of the harder other pain killer stuff. That's what they usually use.

and she's got her prescription drugs and she takes a handful of hydros from somebody because she's got a headache or her back hurts and she wants you know she doubles up the methadone with the hydro and you know she's feeling okay she's got to fly back and then she has a heart attack and she never works up

and maybe that's why the family you just wanted didn't want to give access to the toxicology reports and you only have limited access and that's what you get yes our mother struggled and that's the way it is but that's all you're going to find out because this makes her look bad enough as it is

she struggled with the dollar life and she was just trying to get through the day I feel sorry for you need that to get through the day sad this is the Jeff Fisher show only on the Blaze Radio Network
