You're listening to the Jeff Fisher Show. When our water heater broke down last month, it was a nightmare. It took five hours for the plumber to show up, and he charged us a couple of hundred bucks just to come out. Then it cost another $1,800 to put in the new water heater. By the time it was all said and done, I felt like I'd been taken. But what else could I do? The smartest thing you can do is get a home warranty from American residential warranty.

Call now. So remember Cecil the Lion. Remember Cecil the Lion and the doctor, right?

Walter Palmer, whose life we damn near ruined. Because he shot Cecil the Lion with an arrow and then they killed him. And Cecil was just this beautiful lion in Zimbabwe. and never mind that all these other people go to Zimbabwe to kill lions and big game C-So the lion was special right uh-huh and you people need to do something because this is wrong it's just darn wrong well it worked fewer hunters are going to Zimbabwe now we've made it so that people don't want to go to Zimbabwe and go big game hunting.

Okay. Well, now there's an overpopulation of lions. What? Yes. Yes. There's just two damn many lions. And so now they're going to have to kill them. Now we're going to have to kill them because there's too many.

And remember that we talked about at the time that these lions were attacking people and people who live there were saying, hey, it's a good thing that we keep them in check because they attack the villages, right? Well, there you go. That's what happens. So now when you see the picture of the god-awful little Cecil's, the 400 little cecils are getting shot in Zimbabwe, it's horrible. Yeah, because there's too damn many of them. Okay.

Too damn many of them. Now, they're talking about having some kind of raffle tickets that they're selling to bring in some of the big game hunters and bring them back. I think we should maybe, you know, I was thinking maybe we set up a go-fund me page for Dr. Palmer and give him some money to go back and hunt Cecil 2. Let him go lion hunting again.

What do you think? Do you think Dr. Palmer would do it? I bet he, I don't know that he would. I think about him, he probably wouldn't. If I'm him, crap, no. I'm just getting my feet back on the ground, my business back on the ground. People are fine.

They may be leaving me alone a little. There's probably some hangers on there. There's probably two ladies that bring a sign and walk up and down in front of his dental office still. Killer, killer. We should find that out. You know, perhaps we should have a Jeff Fisher reporter. Is there a reporter for the Jeff Fisher show?

There should be. There should be. And it should be you. You are the reporters for the Jeff Fisher show. So if anyone is near Dr. Carson's place, or Palmer, not Carson. Dr. Carson. Dr. Carson. I got his stupid name on my brain because he's still in the presidential race,

and he needs to go away. But that's a side note. He needs to realize that it's over, and your little baseball analogy doesn't work, Doc. but the dentist, Walter Palmer. I'm sure there's people hanging on just giving him a hard time over that. Oh my gosh.

No. So just remember the next time you have a big uproar over some animal dying because we're out there shooting them in another country, what happens? Cause and effect. Okay? Because now there's just too damn many lions.

Huh. Amazing. I wonder what could happen. what could happen if there's just too many lions? Huh. Amazing. Amazing. They've just brought down so made it look so bad that now we have extra lions to kill.

So you could probably do it cheap, which would be fun. So I talked, I don't know, a few weeks ago, about a guy that works here, Brian Noel, and his Brian Noel blog. his cute little blog at the brian nolblog.com. And so I get this email saying a must read in my email. In my email box.

I must read. And it's a link to the brian nolblog.com. And it says, do yourself a favor, talk with strangers. In parentheses and everyone else. So, you know, I know the person who sent me the email. All right. I'll read it.

And I read it. And you know what? He's right. Talk to strangers. And actually, what he talks about in his, you can go there and I'll tweet it out. You can read the story yourself. But, you know, basically what he talks about is, hey, don't be afraid to talk to strangers. And I am such a believer in that.

It's unbelievable. And I've been doing it, you know, my whole life. but it's important. And a lot of people don't know how to act. And you know where they don't know how to act is in New York City, in Manhattan. Because they're so used to people just going where they got to go. And you look ahead, but you don't really look. You kind of just dodge other humans.

Everybody just kind of doesn't look where, you know, they don't want to look anybody in the eye, afraid to actually look at someone. And you can know the tourists because the people at work there are never looking up at the buildings. They're just looking, dodging people on the sidewalks. The people who are walking on the sidewalk are standing on the corner looking up. Those people don't live in Manhattan or work in Manhattan. Those are the people that are, oh, wow, look at that building. That is really big.

I like that building. That one over there. That's the Chrysler building. And then you look down over there. That's the Empire State Building. And then these buildings here. And, wow, look at that. That's tremendous.

Insurance building and bank buildings. Well, I'd like to live here. No, you wouldn't. But while I was going in and out of Manhattan on a daily basis, I would talk to people. And, you know, I rode the train every day. I knew the stupid conductors. You see their faces.

You talk to my start until you start seeing people on the platform, the same people every day. How can you not talk to them? I mean, a lot of people don't. But, I mean, you have to. Yeah, I mean, I have, I should repeat. I have to. I have to, because I see them every day.

I'm not going to ignore a human being, another human being that I see every day. Or, you know, three or four times a week, or whatever the case is. You can't, you know, just, you have to know, at least, hey, Tough day at the office, huh? But in the city, in Manhattan, you people are taken aback when you talk to them.

So this is what makes me actually want to do it even more because they are taken aback. And that is, you know, you'd be stopped. I remember stopping next to one of the buildings that we worked in at the time. They were setting up a special, they had rented the place for a Christmas store stuff

and they were setting up the train the trains the whatever the Lionel train store for Christmas and they were setting them up and life in the train age baby I got to stop and watch them put up the big trains and they had some great show pieces in the Lionel

store and or the Lionel store and I was standing there looking and another person comes up and looks at the window and I started talking to this person about it and the original was, hey, how you doing? Man, that train is super cool.

I'd love to have that. And I got this look like, are you? You're talking to me? You're saying something to me? And I just looked like, yeah, it's a cool train, right? Yeah, I love trains. I wonder how long the store is going to be open. Well, I'll probably over the holidays.

And you actually start a conversation. so Brian is right. Don't tell him I said that, though. Oh, my God. I tell if he finds out that I said something about he's right, who could be in trouble. Somebody actually talks to him. Could be trouble.

Here we go. This is the Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network. When our water heater broke down last month, it was a nightmare.
