The Blaze Radio Network On Demand. The Jeff Fisher Show. Saturday morning's 9 to noon Eastern. On the Blaze Radio Network. Now, I know that, you know, over the years, we've discussed, well, I struggle with being overweight. And, you know, that's just part of my life.

But as I'm scrolling through thinking to myself, you know, it's Saturday, you and I want to get together, chat, we don't want to be too serious through the entire broadcast. And I see that in 62 days, one hour, 24 minutes, and zero seconds, as of right then, the Texas State Fair opens. Now, the Texas State Fair, like any fair, any State Fair around the country is, you know, famous for different foods that they, that they provide during the fair. In fact, last year, during Pat and Stu, we went out there and ate some of the fair food. And I would say that most of the fair food is nasty. Nasty, nasty, nasty.

I mean, look, I know that I'm 800 pounds. Today, I'm sorry. Today, I cut back a little bit this week, so today I'm 795, just under 800. And so, you know, I'm trying to get my life back. And I know that. And I know that, you know, for the most part, you know, I'm not a great eater. I, you know.

But a lot of the fair food, a lot of that deep fried stuff, like where we made the mistake last year when we went for Pat and Stu, we got there, we're so hungry. That was a mistake. So when they first brought us the powdered red velvet thing, I mean, it was so good. And we couldn't stop eating it, so then we became kind of full. So by the time we got to the other nasty deep fried stuff,

it was not good at all. And I have a feeling that after a while, you know, when you start deep frying stuff, the fry juice gets dirty, so you start getting that nasty fry juice. But this year, there's new big tech's choice awards for new foods at the fair. And I don't know that I can do very many of these.

Beer battered beef jerky? Oof. Maybe. Cajun fried deviled eggs, new, thank you. Crawford. Lollipop. Ooh. Deep fried bacon-wrapped

mozzarella with jalapeno ranch. Ooh. I don't know. The deep-fried bacon-wrapped mozzarella sounds pretty good, but not with the jalapeno ranch. Deep-fried breakfast

cupcake? Okay. I mean, maybe I could do that, maybe. Deep-fried chicken noodle soup on a stick. I mean, I would try that just because it's. You know, chicken noodle soup on a stick. Deep fried fruit loops, maybe.

The problem happens, though, what happens is, and I find this out at the donut shops that put cereal on the top of the donuts. Not that I've had several, but the cereal goes stale, and most places don't care. They just put it on top of the donut anyway. And no.

If you're going to be using the cereal, make sure it's fresh. So hopefully the deep fried fruit loops will have fresh fruit loops because of a stale fruit. Loom's going to ruin the whole thing. Deep fried Rubin. Oh, I don't know.

Deep fried root beer float with dragons breath. I mean, that doesn't sound bad. I might be able to do that. Dreamy drunken soapapelia cheesecake bar. I don't know. Fat smooth. Is that a bar? Is the name of a jazz band?

Fat smooth. Tonight. Fried arrows can pull it. No, thank you. Fried cheesecake stuffed apple sundae. That might be good. Fried El Paso. We're frying an entire city.

Fried mango loco. New, thank you. Although, you know, mangoes aren't bad. Fried redneck wedding cake balls. Ooh, I wonder what that is. I wonder what redneck wedding cake balls is. If you have to ask, you don't want to know. Fried sloppy Joe flaunt us with nach fries.

And it's M-O-T-C-H-O fries. Fried Texas dirt. I mean, I'm guessing that it's not real dirt, so it might be good. Fried Texas sheetcake. I mean, okay. Funnel cake, bacon, queso burger. No, thank you. Golf Coast Fish Bowl.

Oreo beer. Oh, no, thank you. Pinot popcorn. No. Pinoa popcorn. No, thank you. I don't care how you say it. You have not eaten it.

Raymond grasshopper cookie. Pino. Noir? Oh, yeah. I don't care how you say it. I'm not eating it. Okay? I don't care.

You can tell me how to say it all you want. I'm not eating it. Southern Fried Chicken Monte Cristo. What is it? Pino noir. What pisses me off? I didn't know. What is it?

Pino noir popcorn. Is that right? Is that what it is? What is it? Turn your mic on. Tell me what the hell it is. It's a pinot noir. That's right.

That's what I said. Southern fried chicken Monte Cristo. No, thank you. Surfing, turfin, turfin, tater boat. Texas fajita fries. Maybe. Texas fried cowboy fritters. Maybe.

The tamale donut. No. Tipsy, topsy catfish on a stick. These are the semifinalists. No, thank you. I don't even want the pinot nor popcorn. I never like that pin out nor stuff. That's nasty.

That's some nasty stuff right there. I think we're sticking, you know, just the, no, just give me some red velvet funnel cake with some sugar sprayed on it, okay? I'm good with that. I mean, what's on this list that's actually edible? Beer battered beef jerky, I mean, you might be able to try it. Nasty, Cajun fried deviled eggs, no, thank you.

If they would make the deep fried bacon-wrapped mozzarella without the jalapina, no. I feel like with jalapeno ranch. No, you get rid of the jalapeno ranch. Ugh, nasty. I can't even say it. Some of the stuff is just, why would you eat it? I mean, I get the whole, oh, we're going to make something different for the fair. Are you?

Are you? And they better, they better lock down those rides at the fair. You know, I heard the story about the fair in Ohio, right? The carnival in Ohio and horrific. And you always think about that. I mean, I love those rides. And I love them. And it's been a while because most of them don't have fat guy seating.

So, you know, they look at you like, nope. I put the kids up there. You ain't getting done this thing. So, you know, I haven't ridden them in quite some time. However, I love them. And I love them all. And, you know, it was horrific. story in Ohio about the ride breaking and flying off. But I hadn't seen the footage until

yesterday morning. I was in the makeup room getting ready for the radio show. And they actually, you know, they showed the footage. And I kind of avoided the footage, which is unlike me. I was in the middle of doing some other work and I didn't want to be distracted by footage of people flying through the air dying. And I was car. Wow. I mean, horrific. Horific. And you know, I know they're showing all the paperwork and it was signed off on.

It was inspected. Was it? I mean, I hope it was for everyone's safety, but I got to believe it. Yep, that one looks good. Go on, set it up. Check it off. 50 bucks.

Yep, that one looks good. I mean, I hope not. I hope not. And now that definitely not for a while, right? I mean, they're going to be inspecting every nut and bolt of the whole damn thing. And as well, they should. As well, they should. But are you going on those rides now this year?

Are you going to say, you know what? Maybe we'll go over and have some of that pin out in there popcorn.
