You're listening to the Jeff Fisher Show. Don't miss The Morning Blaze with Doc and Skip. The two criminals flew the coop and left the scene to let the birds lay and die. However, they migrated back a few hours later to finish the job and stomp the creatures to death just because they could. Authorities have released the images that are asking anyone who may be able to identify these foul killers to please give them a call so they can stomp these two to jail and make sure no birdie will do this again. The Morning Blaze with Doc and Skip. Weekday morning, 6 to 9 Eastern on the Blaze Radio Network. Sunday night, last Sunday night.

It's been a few days. I tried to let it breathe a little bit. The new Walking Dead, Fear, the Walking Dead. Now, you know that on this broadcast, one of my producers in New York, Aaron Hernandez also joins me when we do our podcast on Talking Walking Dead here on the Blaze Radio Network when the original, the one we all know and love, Walking Dead airs. which is coming up in about another five weeks will be the premiere, which I am looking forward to. However, last Sunday was that, what am I doing? Hold on a second.

I can't, why, I'm talking about Walking Dead without. Oh, yeah. Okay. Okay. All right. All right. Enough, enough. I just makes me feel a little bit better.

Just makes me feel a little bit better to have a little Walking Dead music. Play will start talking about it. Okay. So, New Walking Dead. I was so psyched for this new Walking Dead. I watched all the clips. I watched all the previews. I watched the interviews.

I watched the little snippets here and there. We made it through the entire show of Fear of the Walking Dead. And it was at the end. And I got to the point of, and I know that Aaron Hernandez joins me now. Aaron, I got to the end of the broadcast. and I went, I didn't learn anything new. I'm not happy with this show. It was such a letdown.

Such a letdown. I am so glad you said that. I thought maybe I was alone. And you know what? And for me, I was like, this is cool because I'm from Los Angeles. I was born and raised in the city of Angels. And I was so stoked to see how it would start in, in L.A. Now, granted, you know, they're barely developing the story.

I know. But for where we're at right now. now, I don't care about any of the characters. I don't care about any of the characters. The one character, the one character that I thought, oh, this guy's going to be kind of cool. Maybe we'll get to know him and get to like him. Was the son's drug dealer who was portrayed as not a drug dealer to the parents, but was his drug dealer. I thought he would be kind of slick.

He's going to be street savvy. He's going to, we can bring him into the fold. And they kill him off. Exactly. It drove me crazy. It drove me crazy. It drove me crazy. The one interesting character in the whole thing.

Right. Mine is the fat kid. I like the fat kid. The one that with a creepy fat kid. Maybe we run into him again, but I don't think so. I think we're just going to find him with a sign around his neck saying, I told you, you're all going to die. Got in a peanut butter jelly sandwich in his hand. Go easy on the fat jokes.

Okay. But maybe he will stick around. That'd be good. He'd be a good character to have, right? I mean, somebody else, somebody that you like. Because I love the guy, the lead character man. I love him. And the lady, but they're going to make it so that the lady is the bad guy.

You saw how she came in and dealt with the cops. And she's, you know, she's pretty tough at the school. So she's going to be the one that's the one to deal with, not him. He's just, he's going to be the guy that takes care of things. But she's going to be the badass. Yeah. Travis is the name of the character. And he seems like a.

he seems like a character that we're all going to have to really grow into. He's not like Rick, where right off the bat, you kind of start relating with them immediately. You know, he gets hit in the head by that shovel from Morgan. So off the bat, you're already kind of like,

all right, I'm into this guy. But with Travis and Madison, which is the name of the character, the female character, the female lead, I'm not very excited about them. And I'm hoping, and I really am hoping that maybe I expected so much.

And I'd watched all the scenes that maybe that's why I didn't see anything. The only thing knew that happened in the first show that I didn't know was going to happen is when they turned the drug dealer into a speed bump. I didn't know that was going to happen. The rest of the scenes, I all pretty much had seen. You know, we knew that those scenes were going to happen. So maybe when the new scenes start happening, like in show two, tomorrow that, you know, something will happen that we don't know about.

You know, they're going to go. We know they're going to get locked in with this family in the store. Yes. We know that. We know that, you know, obviously there'll be some kind of, you know, struggle with that family. One of those have got a turn. You know, so I don't know.

Maybe, I mean, I've got. Do you think they'll give an explanation to the actual beginning of the virus? Oh, I don't know. But, I mean, you know, I know. I know that she was dead, but Patient Zero was hot for being dead. So, I mean, I'm just saying. She did have some rouge on the cheeks, right? Okay, sure, she was a heroin addict than a junkie.

Sure, she was eating other humans. So? The thing, too, that, like, I know I don't want to nitpick and stuff like that, but, like, that was the one most unbelievable part of a zombie apocalypse of a junkie church. Like, I'm like, that's in L.A., man. You know how much that real estate is? That would be at least a crunch gym or a jamba juice by now. You know what I mean?

They're not going to let that go to the junkies. But I mean, was there anything of the show that you were really excited about that they did do? No. Really? I don't even. I don't know. I really, I don't know. Just, you know, like, why would Travis go to the shooting?

gallery by himself at night. I didn't get that. Yeah, right? And then you see a pool of blood. Wouldn't you call the cops? I mean, you know something bad happened? We got it. I mean, we know what happened, and he doesn't. Okay, that's scary. And we all got scared when the junkie jumped out of nowhere,

but nobody else was in the building. You know, we all jumped. Oh. Just like he did. But I don't know. I just know. They got to pick up the pace, man. They really do. And I really do want to explore a little bit more about, you know, what's going on in the other states, you know what I mean? Yes.

The kid starts talking about it, that, hey, man, like, I've been hearing these stories. Right, everybody, they're still calling it the flu. They're still calling it the flu. You know, you thought you were out with the flu, I got my flu shot. I thought you were out with the sickness. They're still calling it. And the kid is the only kind of one, you know, in the group of people that we're seeing that is saying, uh, hello, it's not the stupid sickness.

Hello. You know, and we get the mom saying, which I love, you know, of course the government will tell us, uh-huh. That seems to work out. Yeah, that always does. When you come on the government to let you know things, always works out. But so, I mean, you know, it wasn't a total waste of time and I was excited. So, you know, I was happy to have some new Walking Dead material and felt good about that. It's just I was really glad I'm not the only one that thought, come on now.

Yeah. And you know what? They put a lot of emphasis on the character, Nick, which is their son who's a drug addict. Are you in, I mean, okay, so he's a junkie and he seems to want to not be a junkie, but guess what? When he had his drug dealer become a speed bump, they were going to do a drug deal. Yeah. So I'm supposed to, you know, how about we let me really like the junkie before he really becomes a junkie? Oh, wait.

Nope, too late. Yeah, there was just so much things, like that character could have been great. already. I know I'm already putting him down, but there's just something about him that. I'm like, yeah, if he gets eaten right now, not, I don't have one issue with it. I know. I'm not going to cry. This show needs rednecks with crossbows. This is what this show needs. Well, it's L.A. No, no, seriously, that's why I thought that I thought our slick drug dealer was going to be the L.A. Redneck. You know, seriously, he's the, he's the guy that knows the street. He's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's. He's been around.

He's got the connections. He's slick and he's not afraid to shoot something. Yeah, I can see that. Right. And that's the character, but they kill him off. I don't get it. I know. It really, they're dropping the ball on this.

I can see it. I hope that I'm wrong and I hope that the series progresses. But as it stands right now, they got to wow me on the next one. And, you know, what we found out, you know, we found out last week that it's this, this is six weeks, which coincides with, you know, the beginning of the regular walking dead. But then we have, they signed it up for 20 more. So, holy crap. 20? Wow.

Now, it did break records. I think it was 10.1 million people went to view the series premiere, which is, I think, broke every single record for a series premiere. Excellent. I mean, that's great. That's great because they promoted it great. Yeah. And they did it wonderful. I just think that they, and maybe it was maybe just for the Walking Dead.

fans, they dropped the ball. And for the new people that they're trying to get in, they didn't drop the ball. But for me, they dropped the ball. They did. You know what? This actually feels a lot like Walking Dead season two, where it just, it's trying to build up to something, but they don't really know how to do it, I feel. Amen. This is the Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network.

Coming up today on Pat and Stu. She probably has sent an email that was not top secret. That much we don't know it. No, I mean, yeah, you can't say that with any kind of certitude. No, but I expect that at the end of this investigation, we will learn she did send an email about coffee or yoga. I don't know if there was more than one, but probably one was not top secret. Look, if you attack her for that, I mean, it's just the one woman. Pat and Stu, weekdays at 5 p.m. Eastern on the Blaze Radio Network.
