You're listening to the Jeff Fisher Show. The founder of this company 10 years ago was trying to sell his house and went through real estate agent after real estate agent. And they were all talking a great game. And this guy who is selling his house, the founder of this company, he's kind of an important guy and should get the best treatment. And he said to his wife, if this is what it's like for us, how do people who have no clout ever get around this? So he started a company and it went into business, I think, three years ago. Their deal is, their word is their bond. And they are just like you.

Now, how can I say that? Because I'm the founder of the company. We have a thousand agents across the country and they are people that listen to the show. And so when you go through real estate agents, I trust, it's sent to somebody who already, you already know their sensibilities. They already are cut from exactly the same cloth. There's got to be a better way. There is. Real estate agents,

I trust.com. Let's talk tech by starting with, I'm told, that when you go to the blaze.com slash radio and not only are you supposed to download my show. Okay. And I mean, there's other shows there you can download to, but like I said before, I don't care about those. You can look at them, though.

I mean, there's all the shows are there, the Monday through Friday shows, the weekend shows. And we have a bunch of other specialty shows that never air on the network. are there for you that are Blaze Radio-specific podcasts that are really great. Did I say they're really great?

Oh my gosh. I mean, there are just other podcasts there. I don't care about them. You can download those two as well. But what you need to do, as well as downloading them, okay? Is you need to subscribe to it. So you get the little update

when the new, you know, when the new podcast goes up, And you can comment, which they love. And you know what else? You know what else you can do? You can do it for free. Because Bloomberg, the news sites are going to start charging readers to comment on articles, which actually I think this is a pretty smart idea.

News publishers fraught with relationship with the people who comment on their articles. Many websites have been removing the comment section altogether. But they're going to start charging the people who hang out there. The founder of MP3.com, Michael Robertson from San Diego, fighting a long legal battle with the record industry, argues that the prospect of new revenue stream will convince a struggling industry to reconsider the value of comments. Comments are valuable.

They're also not really valuable. because when you're doing it for free, you get a lot of, let's crawl them, what shall we call them, trolls, which I'm sure is probably in the new Miriam Webster Dictionary, although I didn't see it there. So you can do that for free at theblaze.com slash radio. All right, where shall we go with tech? Where shall we go in tech? Virtual reality porn.

Going to be offered in Las Vegas rooms. Okay. The complete package soon-be-trial in Las Vegas hotels, 1999 a pop. Ooh, man, I hope they... Remember we talked about the whole virtual reality suit? Ooh. I mean, we need to make sure that they... You talk about bed bugs in hotel rooms.

Virtual reality. Porn bugs in hotel rooms. Could be a little issue. But, you know, I was reading yesterday about... What the heck was I reading it? how people are reacting to the virtual reality games. And some of them, the game where you walk the tightrope, you can download it now and then you can walk the tightrope between buildings and stuff.

What the heck is it called? I should have it up the stuff. I'm telling you the story, and I don't have it in front of me. But I was reading yesterday, and it was talking about how people start to sweat and their legs are shaking. And they know it's not real. At least they say they know it's not real, but they are so, into it, it's almost like reality. It's virtual reality.

And they start, uh, they start shaking, they start sweating, the knees and it's so it feels like the real thing. China unveiled its first interactive robot. Can chat away to humans and even take orders from iCloud. And it's a robot girlfriend. Nice. When you say hello to the robot, she replies, yes, my lord, what can I do for you? When asked to please wave your hand, she does just that.

What she ought to do is say, which hand should I wave and how long should I wave it? Okay. I mean, if she's going to say, yes, my lord, what can I do? let's just carry this out to the full line. All right. Wave your hand. Yes, my lord, which hand and how long should I wave? Her developers say she's programmed to match human facial expressions, body and mouth movements.

She can even offer services based on cloud technology that can position herself independently. Okay. So we're moving on. we are moving on. And don't forget Ray Kurzweil, the man, biggest believers in the singularity, you know, humans, the aid of technology will supposedly live forever.

Ray says the year 2045, because according to his calculations, the non-biological intelligence created in that year will reach a level that's a billion times more powerful than all human intelligence today. Think of that. By 2045, according to Ray Kurzweil, the non-biological intelligence created in that year will reach a level that it's a billion times more powerful than all human intelligence today. Now, before 2045, Kurzweil thinks we could begin the deathless process. we'll reach a point around 2029 when medical technologies will add one additional year

for every year to your life expectancy. So whatever age you are at 2029, what your life expectancy is supposed to be now will be added to another year to that and another year on top of that every year after that. I don't mean life expectancy based on your birthday, but rather your remaining life expectancy. Okay. So, I mean, that's fascinating. Fascinating. And in what point does it stop? I mean, he doesn't, at least I, he doesn't, in this, what I have in front of me from Ray, he doesn't say that. Well, let's see. A lot will happen over the next 30 years to make that reality. He predicts that nanomachines capable of taking over for our immune system to fix problems like cancerous cells and clogged arteries and connecting our brains to the cloud will be available by then.

Your likings to that change to the next step in our evolution. Same way our ancestors developed to use the frontal cortex two million years ago. We'll create more profound forms of communication than we're familiar with today. More profound music and funnier jokes. We'll be funnier. We'll be sexier. We'll be more adept at expressing loving sentiments. Uh-huh.

That sounds good. but he still doesn't say at what point you stop your life expectancy. So by 2029, you can add a year, each year, every year, to your life expectancy. So at 2029, if your life expectancy is 150, it's then 151. And then 2030 would be 100, if your life expectancy is 151, it would be 152. When does it stop? How long do you go before your body says, all right, I'm done? Because I'm 152 right now, and I got to tell you, I mean, starting to feel wear and tear at 152.

I know it's a surprise, but I am. I'm hoping, you know, by the time I get to, you know, 3, 400, maybe I'll wear down enough to, you know to stop working but not until that. Amazon, same-day delivery. Do you know what Amazon same-day delivery is right now?

Racist. I know. I know. I thought the same thing. Effective same-day delivery is in more. white zip codes than black ones. So within the zip codes around the areas, because they want to keep it local to the warehouses of Amazon, more white people live than black people.

So because of that, the same day delivery is racist. That is just amazing to me that people would think that. Now, the Amazon same-day delivery is a really cool feature. We do in this neck of the woods that we live in here in the Dallas Metroplex live in a same-day delivery area. And it's pretty cool that you can get something the same day. Yes, I want that. Click. It's at your door.

and it's not quite that fast as it soon will be though but I mean it's like I want that order it finish doing whatever you're doing and pretty soon they're knocking at your door dropping your product off pretty cool however it can't be cool anymore because it's racist

okay sorry it can't be cool anymore because it's racist and I'm absolutely positive that that's what Amazon was thinking. Come on now. You think Amazon gives a flying crap? Who is buying their product?

I don't care. Amazon doesn't go to the bank and go, that's black money. Those white people money. Sorry. Got news for you. They don't. They go to the bank and say,

here's the money we made. It doesn't matter whether it came from. white person, yellow person, red person, black person. If you happen to live next to one of their warehouses or where their same-day delivery is, guess what? You get the delivery. If you don't, you have to wait two days. So making people wait more than same-day delivery is racist.

Unbelievable. Although, remember, in today's world, oh my gosh. you're either racist or a bigot or a hater. That's it. Why the hate? Just ask yourself today as you're going through the day. Why the hate? This is the Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network.

The founder of this company 10 years ago was trying to sell his house and went through real estate agent after real estate agent, and they were all talking a great game. And this guy who is selling his house, the founder of this company, he's kind of an important guy and should get the best treatment.

Their deal is, their word is their bond. And they are just like you.

Now, how can I say that? Because I'm the founder of the company. We have a thousand agents across the country, and they are people that listen to the show. And so when you go through real estate agents, I trust, it's sent to somebody who already, you already know their sensibilities. They already are cut from exactly the same cloth. There's got to be a better way. There is. Real estate agents, I trust.com.
