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. Why not say... I was singing that stupid song. And now I find, I remember an old album, yes, an album by Chuck Kahn. She's doing these standards. And that's one of them that she does. Now, of course, the YouTube has an alternative take. It's not from the album.

The first one that I find, but it's still all of me, Chuck Kahn. And that could be your earworm of the day from Jeff Fisher Radio program. You're welcome. Last week was that stupid song. I don't want to say it because if it gets a year, in my head again. What was it again? I was my

Chris, my board operator slash I mean, want to be producer. He was, he's hollering at me that it was in his head all week. Seriously, I cannot even remember the song now. So that's a good thing. Because it was in my head all week long. Tell about Wednesday. Tell about Wednesday. Then it went away.

and then at uh wednesday on wednesday it was uh it was it was it was it was queen from scaramucci because all i could think of was scaramoochara moose can you do it a van dango hinderbolden lightning very very brightening it was just the whole the whole queen thing now he mentioned in my ear the title of the stupid song and i'm trying to let it go because of You bastard. Seriously. I got, I wish I had some power around here because he would be gone. He would be gone.

But I got no power, so it doesn't matter. So I'm looking at this website. No, another one. And it's got the rankings of all 50 states. And I think, hey, you know, those always fascinate me. And I see that it's not clickbait. It's actually I log onto the story and it's got the list of the states, which perhaps the website should learn something and put each state as a,

as, hey, click on this and you get 50 more clicks. But it's not clickbait. It's just a story. And they're ranking all the states. And these two guys talk about ranking the states based on everything. Contributions to America, inventions, food drink, famous people, unique physical beauty. And that'll be fascinating. Take a look.

I mean, I've lived in a few states in America. I don't know how many I've lived in now, one. Florida, Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Texas. I guess that's it. That's all I've lived in. I've been to a bunch more. I haven't been to all of them yet, but I've been to pretty close to all of them. Those, right, those are the five that I've actually,

I've actually had a roof over my head, whether it be a cardboard box or not, right? Michigan, Florida, Jersey. which was a tremendous, and Weehawk in New Jersey, right there at the beginning of the Lincoln Tunnel looking across the river to Manhattan. It was actually kind of a cool apartment. And Pennsylvania, Texas.

Yeah, that's right. Lived in five of them. So then, I'll check it out. Let's see what the ranking is. We'll take a look. We'll see what it is. And we open it up. The 50, the worst state.

Florida. I could not disagree more. Florida is not the worst state in the union. It is not. Even though I've lived there, it is not the worst state of the union. I apologize. And then it goes to Delaware. Now Delaware, you know, they, there are explanations for each state, which, you know, obviously I'm not going to give you an explanation for each state because I don't agree with them. But Delaware dogfish head is one of the most enduring jokes from Wayne's world. And that about covers it. Even people from Delaware don't.

really fight back. Would you make fun of Delaware? They really don't fight back. Now, I've been to Delaware a couple of times, and isn't that where Opelka lives? I think Opelka lives in Delaware, sad. Anyway, I mean, I've been through the state of Delaware. And I mean, it's a blink of an eye.

It's about as big as, I don't know, the city I live in now in Texas. Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex is about the size of Delaware. I mean, the airport, right? I mean, DFW International is as big as Manhattan. And Delaware can't be much bigger than that. So seriously, Delaware is probably about as big as the Metroplex that I'm living in now. And it's, you know, I remember the first time I drove through Delaware thinking, oh, this is Delaware.

And then I was out of the state. So, I mean, there's that. Now, 48, this state, and I could be biased because I was raised to hate this state. from Michigan, which is the first state I lived in. Because I was born there, stupid. Ohio, 48. Now, that should be the last state. That should be number 50.

There should be no question, Ohio. Don't get me wrong. I mean, I know, you know, there's a lot of people from Ohio that listen to the network and listen to this show, and I love you. Thank you very much. But it's still Ohio. 47, Arizona, the inevitable answer to any question

that starts with where do those nice retired people meet on that river cruise live. Arizona also the home to golf pro is playing the web.com tour. College students whose parents don't seem to find mind paying down the credit card balance on tribal tattoos. Though the unmitigated beauty of its canyons and deserts is well known. The northern part of the state actually holds the largest number of ponderosa pine trees in the world. I didn't know that. The northern part of Arizona actually holds the largest number of ponderosa pine trees in the world.

But that doesn't help the ranking because they're completely useless as Christmas trees. So they're still 47th. Okay, so we've only disagreed on a couple there. Ohio should be last. Florida should not be 50 and it should not be in the back 10. I'm sorry, just shouldn't. Utah. I like Utah.

I spent some time in Utah a few years ago. It's beautiful. I fell in love with the state. I really did. It was beautiful. You know another state I fell in love with? Well, I don't know where it is on the ranking. We'll get to it as Idaho.

And whenever I think of Utah, I think of Idaho too. Idaho is gorgeous. And Boise was a great town. I fell in love with Boise when we were there. But according to them, Utah is 46 because to this day, Utah is still amazed that managed to host the Olympics. Ah, pretty funny. 45 Mississippi.

I drove, I've driven through Mississippi a couple times. It's pretty. I mean, still Mississippi, though, I guess. Connecticut? Yeah. North Dakota. Yeah, North Dakota is the lesser of the Dakotas. Yeah, yes, it is.

Forty-two is Missouri. Missouri is a nice state. It's okay. I mean, my son went to school there, the University of Missouri, Columbia. Got used to knowing about the state. I don't know if you've seen the new Netflix show Ozark streaming now on Netflix.

Really good. And that is, I guess this is why Missouri is ranked 42nd because the show Ozark on Netflix is all about, you know, being in Missouri, up in the Ozarks, and the great, you know,

the Great Lake of the Ozarks. That's filmed in Georgia. So they got that going for them. But the show itself, if you haven't seen it, well worth the watch. It's a big guy show, though. So if you are against watching big guy shows, you know, you shouldn't watch it. Nevada, 41. If a guy tells you he's from Vegas, he's either mediocre street magician or a budding baseball phenom.

If a guy tells you, he goes to Vegas all the time, probably think twice before trusting him. And if a guy tells you, he goes to Reno all the time, you're either about to be murdered or giving a hard sellout. discounted irrigation equipment. Great buffet values, though. That's Nevada. Nebraska is 40th. Nebraska, I mean, my dad grew up in Nebraska,

far western end. That's all I ever heard about was the far western end of Nebraska. Brokenbow. Yeah, they had nothing. So that's one pair of shoes a year. A far western end. You look north, you can't see any. You can drive for days.

They were running down another person. Far western end, there's no. somebody out there. And so I remember when my son was being recruited to play college football in Nebraska was one of the teams. So he went out there for one of their camps. And my dad went to the University of Nebraska. And so my son Elvis calls me and he flew in and then they drive to Lincoln.

And he's driving to Lincoln. And he calls me and he goes, Grandpa was right. There's nothing out here, man. and pretty much sealed the fate of the University of Nebraska for Elvis. South Carolina, 39th. I mean, any place where you lay down in a hotel and a road scrawls across you, I mean, they're lucky to make it to the top. I mean, they should be in the 40s, maybe.

Rhode Island, Idaho, there's Idaho, 37th. I mean, Boise was beautiful. I really fell in love with Idaho. Idaho's gorgeous. And it should be maybe a little higher than 37th, although still Idaho. West Virginia, yeah. Kansas.

Oh, yeah, I don't care about Kansas. Georgia 34th. I love Georgia. I've been to Georgia a bunch of times. Spent time there, vacation there. I mean, you go to northern Georgia, you're in the foothills of the smokies.

Gorgeous. But, I mean, live in Georgia. Not after years of Florida. Hello? That just my message came through. Hello? I should probably put that on.

silent. I was just listening to all of me with Chuck a Khan, so and the volume turned up. South Dakota, 33rd. I mean, it's better than North Dakota, but still, it's one of the Dakotas, right? Oklahoma, 32nd.

You know, when my son started going to the University of Missouri, obviously Oklahoma was the, you know, one of the state teams that you hated. and Oklahoma State. So you just didn't like Oklahoma. Although, when I first went to Oklahoma and actually spent some time in it, it's pretty.

It's a nice state. But if you're from Texas, holy crap, do you hate Oklahoma? Oklahoma is like Ohio is to Michigan people. I got a buddy that lives, I got a friend of mine that lives here in the Metroplex, who was born in, uh, was born out there in western Texas, out there in Big Spring. and he tells me he doesn't even like living this close to Oklahoma here because you can smell it. Then you got Virginia 31, Massachusetts 30. These are all, yeah, middle ground states, right?

Alabama is a pretty state too. I've been there a few times, spent a little time driving through there. It's gorgeous, although still Alabama. Indiana, I mean, all that you're known for is Indiana wants me every time you hear it. and who wants to hear that stupid song. Illinois, when we just talked about Illinois, how horrible is that broke. I mean, Illinois should probably be,

if they're not 50th in place of Florida, they should be maybe 49th, because Ohio should be either 50th or 49th. Wyoming, 26. I'd never been to Wyoming. I always wanted to go to Wyoming. I need to spend some time there. Iowa, New Hampshire,

eh? You know, the Slate State. I mean, New Hampshire is pretty, but you drive through New Hampshire and get to Vermont, right? You don't spend it any time in New Hampshire. New Mexico, North Carolina. Spent some time in North Carolina. North Carolina is pretty. You know, you get up into the Smoky Mountains.

It's gorgeous. Asheville, Boone, up in there, up in the high, the high towns of the mountains. Beautiful. I mean, I could live up there. I remember, and there's a couple really old radio stations up there in the mountains that are still the old ones where it's just the same building. You know, the radio stations used to be in the same building that the transmitter and the tower was on. So you pull in, I wish I knew what radio station it was.

I pulled in to talk to him about a job once a hundred years ago when we were on a trip. And you drive down this dirt road and you come up on the station and it's this big brick building and the tower is there. And you walk inside and behind them. The square glass wall, you know, the glass bricks is the transmitter. It's so cool. I would love to have worked there. They weren't hot of hiring me for some reason. I mean, their loss, right?

New Jersey, I mean, New Jersey's 21. Come on. I mean, New Jersey, I've lived in New Jersey. It ain't that good. Okay, I mean, it's New Jersey. I know there's some, you know, there's some nice places, but I lived in New Jersey because I had to. All right, but really, the only, and the only reason I lived so close to New Jersey in Pennsylvania, north of Philadelphia is so that I, because I had to travel into New Jersey into Trenton every day to hop the train to go into New York. I mean, I shouldn't be ranked that high.

Maryland? Maryland is 20th? one of the first times that I was when I was moving to New York I moved from Florida to New York to be part of the stupid network and I mean this fine institution of the Blaze and the Glenn Beck program and I left my family in Florida not on purpose that time

and I was good we had an apartment rent and I was going up to get into the apartment in Pennsylvania then you know in the New York stuff boat my wife and kids were coming up in a little while she still had to move her folks into our house over here in Florida and what was that Jeff? Oh nothing and I remember in the minute

I'm driving through Maryland it's raining and stormed when I get pulled over by a state trooper you know why I get pulled over by a state trooper because I got Florida tags on and I got my car is full of stuff I just pulled you over going from Florida to Pennsylvania is any of your damn business

state trooper of Maryland? What do you want? It's raining out. He was pissed too because at that time my Chevy Impala, the driver's side window wouldn't roll down. So I had to roll down the back window to talk to him. And in store,

so he thinks I won't roll it down because it's raining out. He's going to go into my car and was like, I opened the door a little bit. The window ain't going to roll down. I've only open the door a little bit. Okay? Got the back window down. If you want see my stuff, I'll open the side door. I mean, I told him about it.

I didn't just open the side door because that's the way you get shot in Maryland. You open the side door, I had to bring him down. And so he was pissed right off the bat at that. And then I wouldn't open the door anywhere because it was really raining.

So I stuck my license and stuff through the back one. He didn't give me a ticket, though. He just brought it back. Drive safely. Would you pull me over for, Dick? Arkansas, number 19.

I kind of liked Arkansas. I spent a little time there. We used to know a guy that was a professor at the University of Arkansas, so we spent a little time there. You don't realize there's like, he was a big archaeologist, so there was a lot of caves and stuff in Arizona,

or I mean Arkansas, and he had all kinds of, you know, the Indian heads and, you know, dinosaur, fossil, fossil finds. And Arkansas was pretty. It was pretty. We used to, when I was a little kid, my mom had a friend in Michigan. Michigan who had a vacation home in Arkansas.

I never could figure that out. I was like, you live in the great late state. Everybody I know has cottages on some lake up north and you have a place in Arkansas. Oh, I never did to understand what that was about. Vermont, number 18 is Montana. I've never been to Montana. I would like to see Montana as well.

I know that they have the mean streets there that Pat Gray is from. And, you know, you're lucky. to get out of there alive by the skinning your teeth. Vermont, spent a little time in Vermont. It's beautiful. Bennington, I mean, I spent a bunch of time in Bennington, Vermont. Love that.

Hemings Motor News, the home of Hemmings Motors News. Alaska, Oregon, Tennessee, New York 13th, Pennsylvania, 12th. Number 11, the great state of Texas. Texas should be in the, I mean, not according to my wife. But it should be in the top 10, the great state of Texas. Colorado, California, number nine. Washington number eight. I spent, you know what?

I mean, California is beautiful. All the times I've spent in California, gorgeous. I don't want to live there, but it was gorgeous to be there. Washington, Minnesota, Hawaii, Louisiana. I've spent some time in Louisiana. I've even dealt with some Louisiana, New Orleans police officers. It should be ranked lower. Wisconsin, Kentucky.

Kentucky's beautiful. Maine. I mean, I've visited there. It's nice. And the number one state, according to this ranking. What state didn't we mention? Yes, the great state of Michigan. So I've lived in the number one state

and the worst state, according to this particular poll. This is the Jeff Fisher Show on the breeze radio network. This is the Jeff Fisher Show. Welcome to it. 888-903.33 is the phone number.

Sorry I'm just sitting here Going through my social media accounts And I had an opportunity To talk to Jeff Rosenblum from, that's at J.R. Questus on Twitter. You know, the author, co-author of Friction. One of the books that Ruler has mandated we read. The Law from on High has come down.

And one of the books, and it's actually a really good book. If you have an opportunity to read it, if you see it laying around somewhere, you go to Barnes & Noble. Here's what you do. You go to Barnes & Noble and you read it. All right, you don't even have to buy it. Don't tell Jeff I said that.

But you don't even have to buy it. Just go to Barnes & Noble, sit there and read it. Bring your little, bring your little Yeti cup of cold soda and just sit there in the back and your little plush chair and read friction. You'll get through it. You come back a couple times you're through it. You're good. You haven't even even spent a dime.

I have to drive to a Barnes & Noble, Jeff. There's only one that's open within a 150 mile radius now. Okay, well, then buy it and have it shipped to your home. I mean, if you just go to Amazon and they'll deliver it, the next day. Amazon Prime, give it to you next day. No problem. All right, so as you well know, I, I am fashion.

I mean, there's just no, if you've ever seen me, you know that nothing could be, nothing could be. Some would say further from the truth, I would say nothing could be closer to the truth. I am fashion. All right. I know they've got this whole Coco Chanel thing that, you know, She thinks she said it. No.

She may have said it, but I am fashion. So, a couple things. I seriously am still working on Moom Moos by Jeffie. My daughter is working on some special Moom Moos by Jeffie, special designer editions. Maya has been, you know, busy drawing and bringing me different creations. and I've been, you know, she gets mad when I say no. I, Drew, don't you like it? No, no, do me something else.

That's very, you know, you got to be able to say no to your kids. And so I'm working on that. And this is just an example of why I am fashion. So I see this story about people going to Panama for fashion. And I'm like, that cannot be. That cannot be. So these people are going to this Panama Vacations destination, this Embara village for their special little trinkets and wares.

And now, it may be a good little vacation destination, but it is not fashion. Right. Let's just go. You're not going to the Panama Embara Village for fashion. I'm sorry, you just aren't. however one of the good things that's happening this year August the 16th season of project runway now I'm forced to watch this I don't like it I don't like it but since I am fashion I mean I should be aware of what's happening in the fashion community

and Project Oneway is one of those one of the ways that I keep up with what's happening in the fashion community. This is the 16th season of Project Runway. Some of the seasons have been great. There's been some great people on there. And by great, I mean funny, bad, horrible people. But there's some great, I love the, I love the judges. Heidi Klum. I mean, she's, what a racket. I mean to tell you, you want to talk about somebody that has found a money-making machine. is Heidi Colon.

I mean, not only is she a money-making machine, and I mean that in a good way, not in the other way. And, but it's a show. Holy cow. That show, they sponsor everything down to toenail colors and blush, and they mean, you're not wearing anything that isn't sponsored. It is amazing.

I mean, they take those designers on, today we're going to be taking Bill's helicopter rides to Joe's Farm. I mean, the world is sponsored. It's beautiful. I love it. I love it. So, my man, Tim, will be on there. I mean, I love them.

I love the whole thing. So, I mean, when you are fashion like me, you have to know. However, one of the good things about this particular, and I say good things because I know a lot of people are going to, to say that. You have to say it's a good thing. I, on the other hand, don't necessarily think it's a good thing. Because this particular season, they're going to focus on size-inclusive models. So what does that mean? Size-inclusive models. Yes, they're going to be making fat guy clothes or fat girl clothes. So if you make fat girl clothes and fat guy close

What do you need to walk down the runway? Fat guys I mean, okay I get the PC world And Heidi, I love you And I know that I know you're trying to make everybody happy And the world

And you want the show to be a little different It's been 16 years You're starting to feel like it's in a rut You want a little better You brought what's her face on to do the all-stop And that really, I mean, I guess that's okay. And they watch it because you're not on. Alyssa Milano does the All-Stars.

And when they first started the All-Stars, I thought, hey, that's a good idea. And then Alyssa was on there. And she's pregnant through the whole thing. Come on. Do I want to see Alyssa Milano pregnant? No. No. I got it.

She's a mom. She's pumped out a couple of kids. Great. I don't want to see her pregnant. So that ruined. That ruined the All-Stars for me. So there's still All-Stars going on now. You know, Lysa still there.

She's not pregnant. Okay. So I'll go back and take a look once in a while. But Heidi. Do we really need to have size inclusive season? Why are you fat-shaming? You bastard. I know.

I know. I know. I understand, believe me, but I just can't. It's going to be a tough year. It's going to be a tough year to get through. To get through if I have to, I mean, it's bad enough I got to deal with. I got to deal with my man Tim Gunn. I love him so much.

He's fantastic. But there are a number of people who are participants. in Project Runway who think they should be like Tim Gunn. There's no one like Tim Gunn. That's why he's Tim Gunn. And it's just, I'm going to have to sit through that.

And now I've got to sit through size inclusive runways. Look, I was one of the first ones that wanted to have, you know what, you know what's not out there in the world? You know what's not out there in the world? Okay. There's all kinds of magazines, Playboy, Pennhouse, Hustler, or one other kinds of girl next door, club, whatever the magazines are.

I've never seen them before in my life. You know, the magazines that are hidden behind the counter. Is there a fat guy magazine? No, there's fat women, there's thin women. There's no fat guy magazines. I was the one who said that would be a million-dollar idea. Okay? The fat guy bags.

Genius, I thought. I was just, I was once again, I was so far ahead of my time, I was behind. something I've struggled with my entire life, right? So I'm just saying, I got nothing against, I get fat-shamed every day of my life. So I've got nothing against size inclusivity. But why do I have to watch it come down the runway?

Why, Heidi, please don't. And then we're going to have to hear the judges and everything's going to have to pretend like it's not size-inclusive, like it looks great, and you look great wearing that, although if I saw you on the street, I wouldn't think that at all. Stop it, don't make me say that. And you're going to have to say, oh, and Tim's going to have to say, oh, you look so beautiful, why don't we do this?

No, no. And even last year, you know what it was? You know what it was? Last season, the last two seasons, that's why they were doing it. The last two seasons, the models, that they were bringing in. The models who were, you know, needed to have a sandwich every now and then

and stopped doing all the other stuff that they do weren't that good looking. That's what they were doing. They were already laying the groundwork for size inclusive. This is the Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network. Is the Jeff Fisher show? That it is. Lawrence Jones standing by to take over,

take the helm, grab the steering wheel, and drive this thing right in. and take this thing out of the ditch. That's what he does every Saturday. Grab takes the helm and takes this network right out of the ditch that I've driven us into. Now, I don't know if you know this or not, but a lot of people struggle with depression and need help. And you may be one of those people.

Now, I don't know if you realize that in today's world, there's something that you can do that will make you feel so much better. And you can do it with the help of the association of nature and forest therapy. Now, it certifies guides and it gets you out and lets you relax and do forest bathing. Just relax. Close your eyes and bathe in the forest. You know, if you close your eyes real tight in the forest and then open them up, everything will look greener. Now, there's plenty of health care providers that are trying to be encouraged to incorporate forest therapy as a stress reduction strategy.

Stress takes a terrible toll. We can only assume that it accounts for billions of dollars. of health care costs, and how much better people would be if they would forest bathe. There are times when I closed my eyes, well, not me, but the guide. And the green looked a lot greener, began to see things I hadn't noticed before. Flutter of the birds, the ripple of the water, the swing. of the trees. It helps you be here and not there. Breathe and be prepared for forest bathing. Now in the middle of your bathing process, if you feel the need to reach out and hug that tree, feel the energy from that tree, do it.

but mostly breathe deep. Close your eyes as tight as you can and then open them up and soak in the beauty that is forest bathing. And you can do that with the help of the Association of Nature

and Forest Therapy. So good luck, God bless, and be well. Thanks for coming along for the ride today. Lawrence Jones standing by, ready to take this thing, drive this thing out of the ditch. Then who's next? later than Joe Paggs, and thanks to Mike O'Pelka for being the opening act on Saturday for this broadcast on the Blaze Radio Network.

Always remember, one of the things that you need to do, you know, you're so stressed and you've been bathing in the forest. Now you feel relaxed. Feel better, and you notice things more, and you notice, gosh darn it at this, those birds are flapping the limbs of the trees. and I'm hearing the bugs and the ruffle of the leaves on the forest floor. And I say to myself, you know, it's important to remember money can't buy common sense, character, manners, integrity. It can't buy respect, morals, patience, trust, class, and mostly money can't buy love. Breathe deep in the forest. Bave.

the beauty of the forest. Have a good week. We'll see you next week on the Blaze Radio Network. This is the Jeff Fisher Show. Only on the Blaze Radio Network.
