Hello.
Hello. Hello.
Hello. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi.
Hi.
Hello.
How are you?
You know, I'm really tired of asking that, by the way.
Hi, how are you?
Hello, how you doing?
Because no one wants to actually have the answer.
And when somebody actually gives you the answer, it's like, oh, my God.
That wasn't a real question.
How you doing?
Oh, man.
I'm not doing well today.
Yeah.
No, I don't care.
I really don't.
I just was just a greeting, really.
It's just a greeting.
So I'm working constructively in my life, not to say that anymore, unless I actually want to know.
So it's just, hello, how are you?
Fine.
Thank you.
Hello.
Because they really don't want to know, and I know I don't want to know.
Something can all maybe work on a little bit together.
Only ask a question, if you really want to know.
Congratulations to the Missouri Tigers.
SEC East Champions headed to Atlanta to play for the championship next Saturday.
Been a tough year.
Tough year for the Missouri Tigers.
But it's good to see them in another championship game.
What the heck is today?
Today is post- Thanksgiving Black Friday Blues.
I mean, it was good, right?
Have good Thanksgiving?
Yeah.
I did.
I did.
And you want to know what made Black Friday so special?
I celebrated by staying home.
Not very out.
Not going out now.
We'll get more into what happened yesterday around the country.
We've got to talk to bad stuff.
I know.
I know we do.
We do.
You know we do, too.
because there's some things that we need to go over.
No, there's no question.
We need to.
Now, we could talk about, you know, the Thanksgiving myths and what has been celebrated forever.
No, you know, yeah, you know that.
You know all the myths.
You hear it every year.
No, it hasn't been celebrated every year.
No, it's not a law.
Yes, it was changed by Roosevelt to be the fourth Thursday, not the last Thursday,
because you wanted to give an extra week of shopping,
so it was all for greed.
Remember that Progressive?
It was all for greed by your great leader, Roosevelt.
But hey, it's okay.
Just side note, sorry.
And so we all know that.
You all know that, right?
We all know that now we have, what, 26 days, 26 shopping days, 25 shopping days,
26 days till Christmas.
Christmas.
In the year 2014.
Not much time left.
Post- Thanksgiving blues.
You always keep thinking to yourself,
ah, Thanksgiving is just right on the corner of this Christmas, no problem.
And then it's Halloween, boom.
Thanksgiving, boom.
And then Christmas, ah, then we're into the next year.
Oh, it'll be 2015, boom, before you know it.
So just get yourself prepared.
We could do, oh, you know what we can do.
to get her settle down right take a I want you to get your cup of coffee smoke them if you
got them take a breath breathe in and out take a sip of coffee that's right oh we'll cook zero
you need to love and accept yourself unconditionally the busier life gets the more you need
stillness everyone is fighting their own battle the world is a reflection of your
thoughts. Start before you feel ready. Your capacity to love is unlimited. Breathe in, out.
Life is overflowing with beauty and blessings. Success does not bring happiness. Happiness
brings success. Make time for your friends and loved ones. Breathe. We are all pieces of the one
universe. Enjoy the journey because the journey is all there is. Your intention is what matters most.
The more you give thanks, the more good things flow to you. You are inherently worthwhile.
Fear is the one-sided fence. You need to replenish your soul. Breathe. Take a sip.
Most worrying is a waste of energy.
When you want something, the universe conspires on your behalf.
Be wary of projecting your past onto your present.
Most people are capable of far greater things than they realize.
So much can happen in a day.
When you follow your heart, life is effortless.
Breathe.
Deep breathing.
is underrated.
Let's breathe again.
Comparison is the death of joy.
And last but not least, breathe.
Happiness is a choice.
Haven't I been saying it for years?
Choices have consequences.
Happiness.
Happiness is a choice.
Breathe.
You okay?
Take a sip of coffee.
Go ahead.
Go ahead.
Step your coffee, you'll be fine.
Okay.
Feel better?
There, now we can get started on the day.
That's what you need.
You take a moment for yourself once in a while.
That's all you need to do.
I'm willing to take that moment with you.
So I finally watched, as long as we're taking a moment for ourselves,
I finally watched Saving Mr. Banks.
I don't know why I hadn't seen it yet, but, you know,
for some reason I hadn't.
And so I watched the whole thing,
front, the back, end to end, beginning,
to end to the end of the credits.
And, you know, it's pretty darn good.
Of course, you know, Tom Hanks, I know, as Disney, of course, is fantastic.
Tom is Tom.
And it was really fascinating to see the way they handled the making of Mary Poppins.
And, you know, if you haven't seen it, you probably need to see it.
And just remember, you know, it's not all about Disney.
It was just about the way he handled things
And kind of his little small outlooks on life
And more or so, I mean the outlook on
You know, where Mary Poppins came from
And you know, we all have history, right?
I mean, breathe
We all have we all have history that we'd like to change
Right?
We all have family that we love
But we don't know why we love them
But they're family
We all have people that we love unconditionally
I mean, no matter what, it doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter what they do or what they say.
We love them.
They're part of us.
And sometimes, you know, take a breath.
You got to let go.
You got to let it go for it to all come back.
You can quote me on that.
It'll let it go for it to all come back.
I mean, we all worry about our children and, you know,
if we're doing the right thing, we're doing the wrong thing,
are we raised right?
I mean, I think about, you know, my children and sleeping in different beds and different bedrooms and, you know, a nice house and we're doing okay.
You think about this.
And then you think about, you know, when I was growing up, I was sleeping in a bunk bed with my brother.
Was I any worse off?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I guess so.
But breathe.
Just take a moment.
There you go.
Take a moment.
Breathe.
Remember that I know that it's the post Thanksgiving Blackfebred.
Friday blues. Christmas 26 days away.
Make sure you get all your stuff and then make everybody as happy as they can be.
Wish everybody happy holidays. Merry Christmas.
Happy New Year. Breathe.
See how much better that is.
Now, now that we've reached this point.
Now that we've reached this point.
Hands up! Don't shoot!
This is the Jeff Fisher Show.
on the Blaze Radio Network
Welcome to it, how are you?
No, I don't care.
Don't answer.
Do not answer that.
I don't care.
888-9033-33 is the phone number.
So during the break, I'm thinking, you know, I'm talking out loud, and I don't understand Black Friday,
and I'm trying to think.
Then I get to think, you and I need to discuss this.
What is Black Friday, really?
But a shopping day, right?
Now, it hasn't.
If you, I was reading some, I was reading some black.
Black Friday history, sometime in the last week or so.
And it never was the biggest shopping day of the year for a long time until the early 2000, something like that.
And then it was number one, and then it wasn't number one, and now it's been number one.
But the days before Christmas, it was always like the Saturday before Christmas was the big shopping day, was the number one day of the year until,
like 2004 or something like that, 2004 or 2005, somewhere in there.
Then Black Friday became number one.
I don't get it.
I never did.
I remember my mother on, you know, we'd have the big Thanksgiving,
and then everyone would come early, my grandma and grandpa, my aunt,
and my cousins and my mom.
Early Friday morning, all hop in one car and go Black Friday shopping.
Then sort it all out in the trunk.
that day. It was more about, I think, as I'm talking about it, working it out out loud with you,
I think it was more about them just being together and out running around shopping.
For me, it was like, bye, see you later. I'm going to be here in this warm house. Okay?
Talk to you later. Bye.
And then I'm looking at the Black Friday craze.
And I know, look, we'll get to the hands-up don't shoot.
And we'll get to the die-ins at the malls on Black Friday.
I trust me, because I'm not quite sure I really understand that.
But people are fighting over TVs.
And there's one story that I saw that had people were,
I mean, these people were going into these stores two and three to a mule and just lined up.
And they're fighting over a television.
Now, I am by no means anywhere close on the billionaire list.
Not even close.
Just so you know, I know it's hard to believe.
It's hard to believe.
It's hard to believe for me to breathe.
However, I am not going to stand in line.
elbow to elbow,
butt to butt,
cheek to cheek,
fighting for a television
to save $350.
It's not going to have.
It's not worth it to me. It's not.
When,
odds are,
you could probably go online
right now and order that same
television and save at least the same amount.
And even if it wasn't the same amount,
even if it was,
even if online you could only save,
$200.
Okay.
That $150 difference is so worth staying in my home and not having to go out and fight for someone saying,
that's mine, that's mine, that's mine.
Plus, if you buy the same people presents every year, let's do the whole little Christmas,
you know, walk through, if you buy the same people presents every year,
you are buying presents for people you love, people you know, people.
you experience things with all year long, right?
So you kind of know, we all have the people that we have to give, and I say have to,
that, you know, we feel that we have to give gifts to that we don't really know.
So we kind of got to think about that and think about what you would give and is it appropriate
and that kind of thing.
I get that.
And, you know, so sometimes you do have to go out, you know, as you get closer to Christmas
because new people come into your lives, that kind of thing.
I got it.
For the most part, you are giving gifts.
to people that you interact with every day all year long.
You know.
So when you see something throughout the year and you say, boy, Bill would really like that.
Look at that.
Do you know, I bet you Sarah would love that?
Oh, my gosh.
That is so cute.
Huh.
You know, Johnny's little daughter down the street,
plays with my daughter. She would love that. She always talks about that every time I pick
them up. Why not get it then? Right? It's the same person, five months from now.
It's just, I just, I don't quite understand the whole Black Friday craze. And I, you know,
I get the, you know, want to get on sale and I get the being out. And I kind of understand if you're
going out with the family. I saw, my favorite tweet, I think, was from a guy who tweeted a picture
of his two daughters and said we're on our trek to Black Friday shopping,
disaster in the making, or this is going to be disaster, or something like that.
So his deal was the experience of going out with his daughter shopping.
Got it.
Got it.
And sometimes, you know, you make those, you make those, I'll call them sacrifices,
but you do that, you know, you make those exchanges in life, fine, we're going to do this.
I don't really want to do it, but we're going to go do it because I want to be with these people,
and it will make the best of it and it'll be fun.
And, you know, if people want to push and shove and yell and scream and holler throughout the whole thing, fine.
Let them push and scream and yell and holler.
I'll wait back here and enjoy my time with you, okay?
Yes, that's what we'll do.
Now, it's, you know, I still am trying to figure out.
And Black Friday, of course, you know, and the people who are out going crazy on
Black Friday, I'm guessing, are not getting everything done?
So you didn't come home yesterday and say, done?
I don't have any more presents to get.
It's all good.
I'm done.
I doubt that very much.
So go online.
You have the internet.
Even dial-up works.
Does anyone have dial-up anymore?
And you look online and you're probably,
I'm talking.
There's probably my wife.
And, you know, they're online.
Order.
Oh, that's nice.
Let's order that.
Click.
And amazingly, in three to five days,
packages here, sir.
Nice.
That is some Black Friday shopping right there.
Packages at the door.
Nice.
Go ahead.
Breathe.
Breathe.
Breathe.
This is the Jeff Fisher Show.
Only on the Blaze Radio Network.
890333 is the phone number.
Pure Opelka with Mike Opelka coming up immediately after this broadcast on the Blaze Radio Network.
Then a little bit of rewind with the Glenn Beck weekend.
Then Chris Salcedo, Mike Slater, Joe Pags, right here on a Saturday on the Blaze Radio Network.
And of course you can go to the Blaze Radio.
blaze.com
slash radio homepage
and you can download those shows
and listen to them whenever you want.
So if you feel this later on,
I mean, if you feel like, hey,
I need to breathe,
go download the show
and listen to the first segment.
Take a moment for yourself.
Okay?
Good.
Now, maybe we can go back to a little bit of Black Friday.
See what's going out.
Because this came to my email, I mean came to Denny's email, from the move on.org civic action email address.
Okay.
This from last week.
Last night, a St. Louis grand jury refused to indict officer Darren Wilson for the brutal killing of 18-year-old Mike Brown.
Missouri politicians and political systems had failed to seek justice for Mike Brown.
If the story ends here, the person responsible for Mike Brown's death, Officer Darren Wilson may never be held accountable.
And he will never be tried in a court of law.
But the U.S. Department of Justice is investigating Mike's Brown death too and has the power to arrest and prosecute Officer Darren Wilson under federal criminal charges.
So our friends at the Civil Rights Organization, colorofchange.org, have launched a petition calling for the Department of Justice to do a good.
Exactly that. President Obama and Attorney General Holder's actions in this moment will have a major impact, not just on Mike Brown's family, but for the broader cause of ending racial profiling, discriminatory policing, and police brutality in America.
Will you sign Color of Change petition demanding justice for Mike Brown now?
My answer to that is no. My answer to that is...
matter, Boycott Black Friday, shutting down malls, die-ins.
I can't quite figure out.
I'm still trying to figure out the purpose of shutting down businesses,
entire malls, for that matter, how that makes your point.
How putting people possibly out of work, for sure, the hourly employees,
if you shut down a mall, if the store is shut down, those hourly employees aren't getting paid.
They've stopped getting paid.
I mean, who does that help?
I can't figure it out.
Who does it help?
And I watched, I didn't find the final numbers,
but I was watching, of course, the news coverage
and following the Twitter feeds
and, you know, all around the country.
And, of course, you know, you can always follow my Twitter feed
at Jeffie MRA.
And they're tearing down fences.
They're trying to block them.
highways. They're blocking New York. They're blocking the Lincoln Tunnel. They're blocking
blocking stores. They're trying not to get let people in. I can't, the Wednesday before Thanksgiving,
they, some people in Los Angeles, the story that I read a love, they arrested like 83 people
or something because they had torn down a fence and then they went into the highway and they were trying
to block traffic on the interstate and they were, you know, get, you know,
off, got them off, and about a bunch of people stayed, laid down. And so they were arrested.
I think the number was 83, and they were saying that, hey, you could bail out tonight for
$500 or you're here till Monday. So I will be fascinated to see how many actually bailed out
and how many sat through the entire Thanksgiving weekend in the L.A. County Jail.
I mean, how's that die-in doing for you now?
And by the way, those of you who have a die-in on an interstate and then are surprised when somebody gets run over,
that might be an issue on your end as well, okay?
I know in Dallas they had a big, I say big, they had an opportunity for protesters to cause a little chaos.
And then I read this article that gives Dallas police a big,
thumbs up on the
protesters in
Dallas. This
particular author
in a gpolitical
dot com talks
about the protesters
apparently upset about the lack of media
coverage in Dallas
because they have been out there and most of it
most of the protesting in Dallas was all peaceful
decided that it would be better
to do something drastic to get attention
so they walked
to interstate I-35, 945.
9.45, this was Wednesday night.
No, this was Tuesday night, into Wednesday.
And the person writing the article said I could hear the siren, see the police shutting down the highway,
totally handled this in a professional matter and shut down these protesters fast.
This is almost a chamber of commerce hay for the police.
But originally it said that they were, this person,
why can I don't have the name of this person who wrote this article I'll get that for you
I'll I tweeted it I'll tweet it again they let them whine and complain for about 20 minutes
on the highway then cleared them out fast so many they said Dallas sent out so much police
that they were even with the protesters okay how the protesters stopped turned around to yell
a little bit more and eventually gave up and went back home only six people in Dallas were
arrested for blocking the highway. And according to this article, the professional and organized
manner in which Dallas responded to this behavior made every other state look weak. Texas
won't tolerate this kind of stuff. And what happened here is proof you just don't mess with Texas.
Yeah, it sounds good. That does sound good. And congratulations. But we still had dinkleberries,
you know, trying to get in the blocking the highway. Hands up. Don't you.
shoot, Black Friday, die in.
Blackout Friday, don't shop.
Don't give these corporations money.
Most of these
boycotts for a lot of these
companies were already in place
weeks ago.
So it's not
really about Mike Brown.
Is it protesters?
No, I mean,
it's nice to have the whole Mike Brown
sign thing in your hand, but it's not
really about Mike Brown, is it?
No.
Now, it's not really about that.
That's just good to have something to hold on to, right?
And then I see this article.
Twelve things white people can do now because of Ferguson.
And I thought, well, you know what?
I'll read it.
I'll see what they say, I should do.
What they, this person, thinks I should do.
Okay?
What I should do to since Ferguson as a white person.
Learn how the racialized history of Ferguson and how it reflects the racialized history of America.
Okay.
Michael Brown's murder is not a social anomaly or a statistical outlier.
It's a direct product of deadly tensions born from decades of housing discrimination,
white flight, intergenerational poverty, and racial profiling.
The militarized police response to peaceful assembly by the people mirrors that that happened in the 60s during the civil rights movement.
Does it?
Now, I heard them talking about how making a state of emergency in Missouri when Governor Nixon did that,
to that up the ante to the protesters.
So what is he supposed to do?
not up it to the state of emergency and say, okay,
well, you guys should be good.
You guys should be fine.
Don't worry about it.
We'll just, you know, let them go.
Let them go.
If they destroy some things, so what?
We don't need anything to respond with.
They hurt people, so what?
I saw a lot of coverage of a pregnant lady that got hit by a police officer and some melee.
Okay, well, I get it.
you can be out there it's a free country you're pregnant you got your kid white what are you doing in a protest
what are you doing out there in the crowd and i never did see where exactly she was i don't know
if it was in front of any of the buildings that were being destroyed by other protesters
reject that he was a good kid narrative and lift up the black lives matter narrative
that's his number two on his list of 12 things white people can now do because of ferguson or can do
now michael brown was a good kid by the accounts of those who knew
him during his short life.
But that's not why his death is tragic.
His death isn't tragic because he was a sweet kid on his way to college next week,
which we know isn't true.
And even if he was on his way to college,
he was on his way of college after a strong-armed robbery.
But hey, you know, whatever.
His death is tragic because he's a human being and his life mattered.
Go ahead, breathe.
The good kid narrative might provoke some sympathy,
but what really does support the lie that as a rule,
black people, black men in particular, have a norm of violence.
violence or criminal behavior.
Really?
Wait.
The good kid narrative might provoke some sympathy,
but what it really does is support the lie that as a rule,
black people, black men in particular, have a norm of violence or criminal behavior.
The good kid narrative says that this kid didn't deserve to die
because his goodness was the exception to the rule.
This is wrong.
This kid didn't deserve to die because he was a human being and black lives matter.
Got it.
What do we do is finish reading the thing, do you have?
Then you understand.
All right.
Oh, my God.
So much.
Number three, use words that speak the truth about the disempowerment, oppression, disinvestment, and racism that are rampant in our communities.
Understand modern forms of race, oppression, and slavery.
and how they are intertwined with policing the courts and the prison industrial complex.
We don't enslave black people on the plantation cotton fields anymore.
Now we lock them up in for profit prisons at disproportionate rates
and for longer sentences for the same crimes than white people.
And then they're released, when they are released,
they are second-class citizens stripped of voting rights
and denied access to housing, employment and education, mass incarceration is the new Jim Crow.
Examine the interplay between poverty and racial equity.
Diversify your media.
Be intentional about looking for and paying close attention to diverse voices of color on the TV,
on the internet, and on the radio to help shape your awareness, understanding, and thinking
about political, economic, and social issues.
check out color lines, the root, or this week in blackness to get started.
Adhere to the philosophy of nonviolence as you resist racism and oppression.
Find support from fellow white allies.
If you're a person of faith, look to your scriptures or holy text for guidance.
Social justice, don't be afraid to be unpopular.
Be proactive in your community and don't give up.
Police community relations
your neighborhood
relations
The 12
And while you're getting ready
To explode
And I know that I am
I wanted you to hear that though
Because that is
Those are 12 things
That's where many of the protesters
And many of the people in Ferguson
Are coming from
Those 12 things right there
And remember
Michael Brown's dad
Who said
You know
Burn this bitch down
And Michael Brown's mom says, do you think we're effing around?
I think we're effing games?
No.
No, we don't.
No, we don't.
But I do want you to kind of remember when you're boycotting all these businesses,
just trying to shut these companies down and put people out at work,
burn buildings down, reek, you know, just wreak havoc and just tear it all down.
Just tear it all down.
Remember, well, I'll give you a Henry Ford quote.
One of my favorite quotes, Henry Ford.
Who really wasn't that good of a guy?
But Henry Ford, I mean, you know, Michigan Ford Motor, I got it.
A great guy.
It is not the employer who pays the wages.
Employer only handles the money.
It is the customer who pays the wages.
So without the customers, when you burn it all down,
and it all goes away.
and then what do you have?
Any kind of rule, any kind of order at all?
I mean, if you burn it all down,
do you think that it's all going to come back
in a nice, smooth, happy way?
I doubt it.
But hey, good luck with that.

Now, we talked about shopping online, and we talked about delivering things to your home.
I got it. And technology has been a wonderful thing. I love it. I love it. I do.
huge fan. You know why? Because I can be
lazy and still look like it.
Well, don't tell anybody this. All right, I shouldn't say
that out loud. It's just between you and me.
Don't. Don't tell
anybody. That would
be stupid
to tell someone that you like to acknowledge
you because you can still
be lazy and look like you're actually productive.
Don't. Don't. Don't tell
anybody that, though. That's just between you and me,
okay? But when will technology
catch up? I want
to know. There are some things
that are not happening in my technological world that I want to happen.
Okay?
So let's go over them right now.
Plus, plus sometime, sometime this half hour in the next 30 minutes,
I'm going to give you a million dollar idea.
And it's up to you to capitalize on it because I'm too lazy to do it.
But I'm going to give you a million dollar idea.
All right?
I have to give it to you because I gave it to someone already.
and they looked at me like, yeah, that would be.
And I thought, but you have the, you're involved in it.
You could make it happen.
Oh, I guess.
Oh, my gosh.
So I got to tell you.
All right, I'm going to give you the million-dollar idea, and then you can run with it.
Okay?
And when you get to the end of the line, you've got your million dollars, you're welcome.
Technology.
Cable television.
cable television.
You order it.
They bring it to your house.
You have a little box set up, hook it up to your television, right?
And in that box, you subscribe to channels.
And they put it on your record.
Okay, you subscribe to these.
And you scroll through a million channels.
And the ones that you don't subscribe to, when you click on them, they say,
you don't subscribe to this channel.
And they have the different packages, which, you know, I really hate.
That's a separate thing than what I'm heading to now.
Let's talk about that, a little bit about the a la carte rather than the packages for the channels that you get.
Time to catch up cable company on that.
But what I'm specifically talking about now is that when you, let's say I am in an area that has, oh, I don't know, what company should we use?
What company should we use?
Oh, I know, Verizon Files.
Let's say we have Verizon Files.
just, you know, hypothetically.
And I have a Verizon Files box.
Now, let's say I have, you know, just, just, you know, just off without my head,
let's say I have three, three cable boxes in my house.
Let's just say that.
You know, just hypothetically.
And let's say hypothetically, I can, I have DVR space, you know, from two of them.
and I can let's just say hypothetically I can watch anything from my DVR on any of those boxes right any of those boxes I'm able to access what I recorded and watch it back now the two boxes that I have I mean hypothetically that I have that I'm able to set times move times set shows run you can record series all that kind of stuff
Why, if I say I want to watch Bill's Party Show, which, by the way, a huge fan of Bill's Party Show, if I say I want to watch that.
And let's say the network runs a little show before a Bill's Party show.
And they know, and I've fought this battle, I've talked about this so long, it's really frustrating.
that they have not fixed it yet.
And I don't understand why.
And it cannot be that difficult to fix.
If I have set my DVR to record a show, whatever it is, Bill's party show for 60 minutes,
for whatever amount of time that they say they're going to play Bill's Party show.
If the show, prior to Bill's Party show, goes long because of something,
that the network has done, like I don't know.
Oh, let's, for example, let's say an NFL football game runs long.
And you've set a show that runs after the NFL football game to record.
Now, the network knows, hey, we're going to our start point for the evening, for these
shows, these other shows, after this other event begins at the end of this event.
not at the time
but at the end of the event
why isn't that the start point then
for the shows to record
not just the times
times are fine
but if there's a mark
I don't
I'm not recording the time
that the show is on
I'm only I am only recording the time
that the show is on because I want to watch the show
I don't care
that if there's something else on between 7 p. and 8 p.m.,
I'm recording between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m.
because you told me Bill's party show was going to be on between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m.
So if Bill's party show is on from 7.15 to 8.15 p.m., that's what I want to watch.
Why can't, I do it? Why can't I record the show?
I got it. I can extend record times. I can do all that.
That's not what I'm talking about.
Okay.
Number two, let's say I have, I don't know,
just hypothetically Verizon Files,
and I know someone else who has Verizon Files.
I'm staying within the company.
We don't even talk about going outside to different companies,
which I believe would be possible.
But let's just say within specific companies,
Why can't I take a show that I record it?
And if you have Verizon files and your box number is A2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2,
and I say, wow, you would really like this show.
And I send my DVR show to box number A-2-2-2-2-2-2.
So when you turn on box A-2-2-2-2-2, up pops a window,
and it says, hey, box A1-1-1-1-1-1 thinks you would like this show.
And you can say, oh, yes, and it goes into your DVR box.
It goes into your box for you to watch.
Or you say, no, you know what, I don't want to watch that.
And you click no, and it goes away.
So that I would be able to send, you know,
and people would be able to send you shows, right?
I mean, how many times you say you should watch that?
And this last episode was really good.
While you're watching it, you could send it to Box A.
2-2-2-2-2-2-2.
You'd like this.
Why isn't that available?
Why can't I do that?
He's wondering when it's going to catch up.
Next.
Movies, films, theaters, pay-per-view.
Why, in God's name, do I have to go to a theater to watch a brand-new movie?
Why?
Why?
Because the theaters think they're going to go out of business.
If they're not the only place that you can watch a movie at,
guess what?
You won't.
You release it to the movie theaters.
And the movie theaters charge you, let's say, $100 to see a movie.
And you can release it to the pay-per-view,
and you can charge $200 to watch it on pay-per-view at my house.
So I can either decide whether I go to do.
to the movie theater for $100 or I watch it at my house for $200.
But why I get locked into having to see it brand new release in the movie theater is beyond me.
I should be able to see it in my home.
Technology.
And plus, now they're talking about there's other movie filmmakers that are doing deals.
that are doing deals where it will only be pay-per-view.
It won't go to the theaters.
No, I'm okay with it going on all of it.
All of it.
Don't lock out anybody.
All of it.
I don't want to put the theater business.
I don't want to put the theaters out of business.
It's a good experience.
And maybe that's the way you could sell your theaters.
Maybe that's why the Dine-in eatery theaters are doing so well
because they make it an experience.
Not just to get in, buy your popcorn, and go sit down
and hope you don't catch anything from the...
Maybe a little disinfect it once in a while would help, too.
Just saying.
So do it all.
You release at the same time.
I know you could even say, okay, opening,
the movie is going to open on the first of the month,
and it's only going to be released to theaters
on the first, second, and third.
If you want to see it, go see it those three days.
And then after that, it will be pay-per-view for, you know, double the money that you'd pay at the movie theaters or, you know, whatever.
Whatever the price point is.
So that I have the opportunity to say, if I really want to see it right now, I'll go to the theaters.
Or I can wait three days and I watch it at my house.
And that might not even work.
It might be better to do it at the same time simply because three days you think, well, I've seen it.
If I can't see it today, then I'll wait another two days.
So just do it at the same time.
So that I have my choice now.
I can go to the movie theater for $10 or I can watch it at home for $20, whatever.
Just why hasn't that been available?
Why do I have to wait around to see these new movies if I don't want to see it at the theater?
Please, I beg of you, beg of you.
make this change happens.
Here we go.
This is the Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network.
The Jeff Fisher Show returns on the Blaze Radio Network.
I'm here, I'm here, I'm here.
How are you?
Yes.
I don't care.
Don't answer that.
No, I don't care.
I didn't mean to ask that.
I'm sorry.
I'm still trying.
I'm working hard to overcome that.
It's a habit I've got to stop doing.
Hi, how are you?
Good.
How are you?
Because most, you know, there's too many people out there to take that literally.
You've got to work hard at that.
Only ask.
Only ask.
If you mean it.
Now, Twitter, at Jeff BMRA.
Love the idea.
Love the idea of the cable boxes being able to see the new show and record it.
Like you see, the brand new show comes up, add for the new show.
Hey, brand new show.
And you should be able to have schedule record come up.
So you schedule record of the new show.
I love that idea.
Donna, I love that idea.
Fantastic.
Love it.
Now, a million dollar idea.
And that technology, by the way, Donna would happen if what I talked about earlier, that technology would happen.
Because they would be able to do that.
It's unbelievable.
I just, I don't understand.
Let's go.
Let's go.
We're moving. We're moving. Let's move.
All right.
I promised a million dollar ID.
Okay.
I'll give you a chance. Get a pencil.
Get a paper. Of course, it's not sharpened.
We'll sharpen it.
My gosh.
Why do you have a pencil?
Why are you sitting there with a pencil without it being sharpened?
Where's your little sharpener?
It's probably in the little bowl right there.
Go ahead.
I'll give you a second.
We'll talk about drones for a second.
Then I'll let you sharpen your pencil.
Don't break the lead.
Don't be pushing it.
and the little thing.
Just circle it nice and easy.
So you have some lead to write.
Okay.
Oh, it's an ink pen?
Okay, never mind.
All right, million dollars.
We're going to talk about drones?
No, you want the million dollar idea?
All right.
All right.
I've got drones.
I've got a couple drone stories here
that I'm a big fan of.
It's one of the things I want for Christmas.
Drone.
I want a drone.
And I want to be a walker in the Walking Dead.
That's what I want for Christmas.
I want AMC.
Call me.
message me on Twitter.
Direct message, DM me, baby.
I want to be a walker on the Walking Dead.
We'll get to the Walking Dead, too, by the way.
It's coming up.
Don't worry.
This isn't specific to Walking Dead, so I don't have to play the theme music.
And I want a drone.
I mean, we all have our own little flying helicopters and stuff, right?
I mean, we have that.
No problem.
I guess those are kind of considered drones.
old school drones, right?
Flying helicopters, the little
Dingleberry airplanes, the
little, oh yeah, I'm a
pilot, I fly the little airplanes.
You've all seen those out at the soccer fields
every Saturday, every Sunday, they're out there.
I got it.
I want a drone.
I want the quiet,
with the camera.
In fact, I think I have a specific one I want.
This bad boy, the DJI Phantom 2 vision,
quadcopter with FPV HD video camera and three access gimbal.
That's what I want.
I want that one.
The DJI Phantom 2 Vision.
That's the drone I want.
There's no, look, I'll tell you what, Amazon had the right thing not long ago about
delivering with the drones because they're doing that in Germany now, right?
They're delivering with the drones.
And they need to start it now because people are going to start free.
freaking out and we already see it.
They're going to start making laws and they're going to start making new regulations
and it's going to have to, you know, that's a, you're delivering outside of a drone-free area.
Oh, that's outside of the drone lane.
We can't deliver there.
So get on it, Amazon.
Let's go.
I want the drone to drop it off at my house.
No more three to five days, UPS.
Or UPS.
Let's get some drones, baby.
Forget Amazon do it themselves.
UPS.
Hop on it.
Another, oh my gosh, this is a million dollar idea for UPS, and I should have already, why am I giving it to them?
We used to be doing that.
UPS could have their little segment, so when you're in their area, it's drone drop off, baby.
You have to wait for that truck to show up.
We've got drone pilots dropping off packages for you.
Yeah, UPS drones.
UPS and FedEx drones and Amazon drones fighting each other off in the sky.
So now we're going to, everything are going to have regulations to have sports.
Pacific neighborhoods.
That's a FedEx area.
No UPS drones allowed.
Amazon. We're Amazon. We get to go
anywhere where we want. No. No, you don't.
No, you don't.
But I want a drone for Christmas.
That's what I want. And we've already got drones. I mean, in New York,
they're talking about the FAA is looking into claims
that pilots are seeing drones flying around the airports
up in the air. You can fly. We see pictures.
We see YouTube videos of drones and everything.
around New York. I saw a drone here in Dallas. Now, this is how, this is how bad. I mean,
you know how you fly a helicopter in the house and they crash. You do that with a drone.
It couldn't cost you a little money with the camera. It's going to suck. So I saw a guy crash a drone
drone here at the Mercury Studios. He was pissed. I'm like, dude, why are you flying this stupid
thing if you don't know what you're doing? Get some help. Get some aviation technology, a little
meteorological disease, something. Figure out how to fly this thing. All right, million
idea coming up. I didn't forget about you.
I didn't forget about you.
The Jeff Fisher Show,
The Blaze Radio Network.
The Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network.
Welcome to it. 888-90333.
Is the phone number,
if you'd like to use it.
Mike O'Pelika and his broadcast,
The Pure Opelga,
coming up immediately following this broadcast
on the Blaze Radio Network. And if you go to the Blaze.com,
slash radio.
You can download any of the shows
on SoundCloud, iTunes, Stitcher,
and take us with you
wherever you go
and listen whenever you want.
You're welcome.
Now,
all right, I got my drone thing out of the way.
I really do want to, I know I've got to break out my,
practice, I've got to break out my,
I'll break out the old helicopter,
remote control helicopter, just to get the,
And I'll get the old gears working, get the fluids working again.
Get the fingers back into shape again because heaven forbid,
heaven forbid I study basic aeronautics and meteorology.
I mean, I already am a weatherman.
I don't need to study any more meteorological.
I don't have a specific meteorological degree, but I mean, I am one.
There's no question.
I am one.
But I don't have any aeronautical studies under my belt.
So might be a little bit of an issue.
I'm not doing that.
You don't need that.
Any of those drones have their little quick start guide, that's all you need.
Right?
Listen, I can crash a drone with the best of them.
I'm kidding yourself.
Right.
Right.
Million dollar idea.
Okay, here you go.
So I'm at the doctor's office.
And for the last, you know, a couple times I've gone to see a physician.
And say hello.
Oh, yeah, how you doing or whatever?
And, you know, and then, you know, you see the doc and you get all that taken care of.
And you come back out.
And the doc's, how you doing?
We're done.
Yeah, because, you know, you don't have to pay them then because you have to pay up front before you see the doctor.
We need your identification in your medical card.
And you're not getting past that door unless you pay me now.
Okay.
All right, that's fine.
I got it.
I got it.
And, you know, speaking of doctors' offices and the medical profession, I see all kinds of reports now where more and more people are putting off medical procedures because of money.
How can they be?
I thought it was a wonderful thing about Obamacare.
And we're complaining already about companies, these mega evil corporations that are dropping people from their health care coverage.
And it can't be because of Obamacare.
It's got to be because they're evil corporate devils.
I digress.
So you get done.
You go up and you say, hey, okay, we're all done.
Yep.
No problem.
I've got the stint in my nose and, you know, the block of my eye, whatever you got,
whatever happened.
And the doctor would like to see you next, you know, in three weeks or next week or whatever it is.
And here's you, and let me write it on a business card for you.
All right, let me write on a business card.
Write it on a business card.
He's a doctor Thursday, December 22nd, and what time?
2 p.m.
And, you know, whatever.
Why, in God's name, in the beginning, when I fill out paperwork for these doctor's offices,
they all now have their little, do you have an email address?
And you give them one of your email addresses.
I have like 8,000 of them.
So I haven't checked a couple of them quite a while.
So this plan might not work as well as I anticipate.
but a lot of people only have one.
Okay.
So, and you might have one that you visit, that you use all the time for friends,
families, appointments, that kind of thing, right?
Specific shows you have downloaded direct to your, direct to your email, whatever it is.
Okay.
Why?
Can they not send?
And I said, hey, this last doctor's office, I was just like, oh, come on.
You're going to make me carry this stupid business card out of here?
And then I've got to put it in my phone.
And I got to put it in my email and put it on the calendar.
Why?
Hey, here's an idea.
Don't give me the business card.
Just send that to the email address that I gave you.
Just send it to that email address.
And then once I get that email, poop, I'll plug it in.
That's good.
In fact, you could send maybe, I don't know.
know, a calendar update.
What?
And the lady stops, dead in her tracks, behind her little computer in the doctor's office.
Stops.
Doesn't say anything for a second.
Turns to the lady working the front window, who I know now inputs the information from the paperwork that I filled out.
Okay.
Joyce?
Can we do that?
Joyce at the front window turns back.
I don't know.
Joyce then turns to the lady behind the lady that I'm dealing with who is the insurance importer and says,
Mary, do you know if we can do that?
Mary, being wrapped up in her own job, says, do what?
well can we send our appointments to the email address that he gave us that we input for the email
address oh no no we can't do that huh our two programs aren't matched up our appointment calendar
program isn't matched up with our input data program and so we can't do that that's what I said to
the lady dealing with me, you know, you work at a doctor's office, you should create that program.
That's a million dollar idea. So that people under the age of 80 wouldn't have to carry around
your silly little business cards with your appointment cards. If they wanted one, you could give them to
them. But for the most part, people who are under 80 would just say, hey, email me in my appointment
and my time to my email address that you have in your system already,
because that's the email I check for appointments and other things.
And she looks at me like,
Yeah, that would be a pretty good idea.
I don't, yeah, that'd be a pretty good idea.
Here's your business card with your appointment on it.
Okay, thank you.
Have a nice day.
Take care.
I hope I don't lose this business card with my appointment time on it.
So there's your million dollar idea.
Create it.
Create a program.
So that when these doctor's offices input your information into their system, that it also goes
to their appointment calendar so that the appointment calendar can then email you, your
appointments.
Now, some doctor's offices have a separate thing.
I know that you sign up for in their specific, it's separate.
And then they email you, and you can be able to get in,
you're supposed to be able to access your information and everything,
which works about 0% of the time.
I should say, it works, okay, 1% of the time.
Still, though, that's a separate entity.
That's not the program.
programming's merging.
So there's a million-dollar idea.
Get that done.
There's doctors' offices across America.
Pay you a lot of money for that.
I, for one, hope that my doctors, any doctors that I've ever dealt with in the past
and will deal with in the future have this program.
So I don't have to carry around.
There's silly little March 2nd, 2015.
2 p.m.
Dr. Murray.
Stop it.
Send it to my email address.
Then I'll have it.
This is
The Jeff Fisher Show.

This is the Jeff Fisher Show.
All right, so,
welcome to it.
888, 900, 900,
33033.
93 is the phone number if you want to use it.
Don't worry about it.
At Jeff EMRA is the Twitter, Jeffrey Fisher,
Facebook.
the break. I'm talking to the crew back in New York. And they say, oh, hey, have you seen the new Star Wars
trailer? So I'm thinking, you know, no, I haven't. And I've seen the posts and the, you know,
on and on that it's out and I should be seeing it. And I think to myself, you know, I don't know that
I can take another Star Wars because I could barely make it through the ones that are already there.
So then I say, all right, I'll go watch it. So I go to Glom.
Glenn Beck.com.
And now there it is.
One of the top stories.
Yes, this is the new trailer for Star Wars, The Force Awakens.
Gledbeck.com.
And I still can't bring it.
I clicked play and then I stopped it.
So the first trailer of the upcoming Star Wars, The Force Awakens, just hit the internet.
It's directed by JJ Abrams.
According to the crew back in New York, if the movie goes south, they'll be calling him Jar Jar Abrams.
Thank you.
Now, it stars original cast members Mark Hamill, who knew he was still alive,
Carrie Fisher, who knew she was out of the loony bin, and Harrison Ford, who knew he could still walk?
So, you know, we'll see how they do in the movie.
Okay, although, and I love Harrison Ford.
I like Harrison Ford.
He's the man, but Harrison, what are you?
Like a hunter down?
Take it easy, baby.
Go back to Skinny Woman, the new wife, that you left the old wife Ford, fly your helicopter around the
farm for a while. Take it easy.
So I'll watch it just. There's the new episode.
The trailer is up at glenbeck.com if you want to watch it.
Now, on to a real show that matters, okay?
Wait a minute. I can't talk about this without the, where you had?
What the heck? Wait a second. Why is the muton?
That's not good.
Wait a second. We can't talk about the walking dead without. Okay.
Back. There we go. Walking Dead, baby.
Come on.
Come on.
No, I'm not talking about Ray Rice getting back into the NFL.
No, I'm not talking.
Talking about the Walking Dead Sundays on AMC, baby.
Former Ravens running back.
Ray Rice, though, wins his appeal.
He's eligible to be in the NFL.
Will another team take him?
I don't know.
Or is he walking dead?
I don't know.
No, I'm not talking about the pig that got kicked off the airplane because he was too rowdy.
The U.S. airways flight.
the pig on the plane. I don't know her comfort animal or whatever the hell they call it.
But they got out of a hand, so let's get off the plane. Get the pig. There's a picture of this
lady carrying her damn pig off the plane. Oh my gosh. If I ever got on a plane and a lady was
sitting there with a pig that wasn't a human, I don't know that I'd stay on the plane.
Okay, walking dead this Sunday. Halfway through this season, baby. Midseason finale,
it's going to be good. Going to be good. I'm not sure who's going to die, but
someone that we love is going to die and it's going to be very sad.
It's going to be very sad because remember we talked about Rick talking about how he had to
he cried for an hour just to get the tears out.
I'm not Rick.
Daryl cried.
Redis cried for an hour just to get the tears out for the scenes.
So somebody's going to die bad.
If it's Rita's crying, it could be Carol.
Very sad.
Why'd he be bad to?
Very sad.
A lot of them is going to die.
And we talked about how Rick has gone off the wayside, doesn't trust anybody.
Sunday's episode, entitled Coda.
This week's episode, Coda.
Something that ends.
So it's good.
We talked, they talked a little bit about, I've seen some walking dead chatter.
So I pay attention to during the week.
And remember, AMC, DM me.
I want to be a walker.
It's my goal.
my goal for 2015.
We also had an interview.
I read an interview with
Robert Kirkman's
biggest regrets for the
Walking Dead, which I found fascinating.
He wishes he hadn't been done the CDC
episode at the end of season one,
which was
fascinating. He said that
his other complaint
was the episode revealed that the French may be
onto something.
And get this, this is
very interesting. That episode
reveals that the French may be on to something as their scientists were the only ones who
remained in their labs during the outbreak.
I probably would have changed that stuff.
I've been careful in the comic series not to say what's happening in other parts of the
world.
It's something that's going to be fun to explore in the spin-off series.
Okay.
I don't want to be a walker in a spinoff series number two.
Okay?
No.
I want to be a Walker in a Walking Dead.
The Walking Dead.
The original.
Okay?
I got this.
We're halfway through season five.
I got it.
Anywhere within the first 10 seasons, I'm good.
But, you know, this next season, this next half.
DM me.
DM me, AMC.
I want the Walker.
I want to be the Walker.
Okay?
Seriously.
I know it's Thanksgiving weekend.
Relax.
Okay, we'll be back.
Powerful, stronger than ever on Monday with every with the lineup right here on the Blaze Radio Network.
Anybody told you you look great today?
No?
You do.
You look fantastic.
You're not really going to wear that all day, though, are you?
This is the Jeff Fisher Show.
Only on the Blaze Radio Network.
