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. So anyway, I'm broadcasting in Dallas, Texas. And the studios that control what you hear are in New York, Manhattan. And I hear, hey, did you hear about the guy in Brooklyn that's making pizza? And then he makes a box out of pizza so you get a pizza in a pizza. Now, first of all, that is completely New York. We got to go there. We got to order.

We can just hop a couple of trains and be there. So I look at the picture, pizza box pizza, pizza, pizza box made entirely of pizza, no waste, 100% pizza, 100% delicious. And it does look good. I will give you that. It does look good. good. Vinnie's pizza in Brooklyn. Vinnie's

Brooklyn. It does look good. Now, I am, they serve it on it, the picture of it is sitting on a tray. So if you if you're ordering it at Vinnie's, I'm going to eat it at Vinnie's

you don't really necessarily need a box. Right, do you? So I mean it's just for fun. You've got a lot of coverage out of it. And if you're going to take it, you don't want to delivered for sure. Ooh, thank you. Because then you need a box at a box.

And if you go and get it, it's still going to be tough to carry, right? I mean, you're going to need some kind of box to carry the box and the pizza. So it's more for show and get it at Vinny's. But it does look good and makes me want pizza. Anyway, anyway, so I'm reading, tonight, Saturday is big day today around the country. I mean, all kinds of stuff going on around the country. We've got, I think the White House correspondence dinner is tonight. That will be good. Won't it? It sure will. I can't wait for the written jokes for our president to have. And it will be his last one, hopefully.

And then it will be really funny. I hope, you know what they need to do is just, I hope. I hope. if and when Ted Cruz becomes president he just gets rid of this stupid thing all together and I say Ted Cruz because you know Donald Trump is if he becomes president no way he gets rid of it Hillary no way she gets rid of it

the only one that could get rid of it and live with it is Ted Cruz that's it he's the only one and he's the only one out of those three. See where he was trying to, somebody was trying to be, ah, ha, ha, I'm going to get Ted Cruz. I'm going to get him.

So he brought a communist manifesto book and wanted Ted Cruz to sign it at an appearance. And now, if someone stuck a communist manifesto book in front of you, what would you do? Would you say no? would you hope that he just signed it and said, Oh, I got Ted Cruz to sign the Communist Man Fest.

Oh, however, Takes it and he says, no, no, I'll sign it. I'll sign it. And he signs it,

millions have suffered because of this, Ted Cruz. Do you think Hillary and or Donald Trump would have signed that book that way? They probably would not have signed it. It just made him get away, take it away. But no way to,

they sign it like that. So just saying he's the only one that could get rid of the communist correspondence dinner. Oh, did I call it a communist correspondent dinner? Oh, I didn't mean that. So sorry. So sorry. So we got that going on. We've got the opera in Fort Worth.

Where's the paper? I got it. I brought the paper. Hold on. At the opera in Fort Worth, Texas. Is that another city? I'm not supposed to say Texas. after. JFK's last night.

The Fort Worth Opera's Ambitious Commission sheds light on a little known side of the first family. Now the picture on the Fort Worth Weekly is of a, looks like a female body laying down with the works. She's holding a needle. Got a couple of empty bottles, a couple of empty medical bottles and a couple of other prescription bottles, cigarettes, the Bible, pearls,

and her rubber a rubber vein popper. JFK's last night. And it's an opera. And it opens up, it's already, it's going to open in Canada after a while, and it's already opening up tonight

in Fort Worth. And it's about their, you know, their last night and Kennedy's last night. Now, I read what it's about it. It doesn't show, it shows that, President Kennedy was worse off than we thought as far as body pain and was taking a lot of pain killers.

It doesn't, from the article it doesn't talk about him shooting up anything. There's an interesting picture they put on the cover of the Fort Worth Weekly. And it talked about there last night and how, you know, he did real well and how ominous it was. and it talks about morning to noon and then noon to evening. And as much, I mean, I know, listen, I am selling going to see this opera. I know. It's like an ad for this thing. And I actually do kind of want to see it just because, just because.

And, you know, it leaves you with, you know, their last night and their last thing. So, you know, the last words are, you know, I'm sure you'll do great in Dallas, too, because he did a speech that morning in Fort Worth and then came to Dallas for the drive and that's when he was assassinated. And I mean, that's the old joke, right? I mean, I did the joke in my one stand-up, in my stand-up routine.

In the one stand-up routine that I did, I used to do that joke about Fort Worth and Dallas and how, you know, Dallas and Fort Worth have always had this kind of love-hate relationship. it is Dallas, Fort Worth Metroplex and DFW. And, you know, Fort Worth has always seemed like the stepchild. And, but that's, you know, their big deal is, is that, you know, President Kennedy was shot in Dallas and Fort Worth is like, hey, he was fine when he left here.

So, I believe that's their motto. Hey, he was fine when he left here. Thank you. Be here all week. So one of the things you've got to look forward to in the future is YouTube is soon going to roll out six-second ads that you can't skip. Yay. It's a new option to help advertisers get their message to consumers. Now, first of all, this little five, six-second ads is not new.

The great radio chain clear channel started doing this a long time ago. Okay, the quick five-second bumps, man, and they are. ads. Information, and that's it. And Clear Channel started selling those a long time ago. So YouTube, you can pretend that this is a new deal for you, but it isn't. I mean, it's video, so you'll add some video, but that's about it. Okay. Good luck. And you can't skip through them. They're still going to, so they're designed to be a better companion to the shorter video clips that millions of YouTube users are watching on smartphones. Oh, so we're still going to going to get the big ads on the bigger videos.

Yay! Yay! I noticed more and more websites are producing videos and putting ads on those videos that you can't skip. And I would just like to say that I watch about maybe 40% of those. maybe. I mean, if it's something I need to watch, I'll sit through the ad. And I, you know, look, I'm a commercial guy.

Commercials pay the bills. I got it. I understand it. It's just annoying. It's all. It's just annoying. I know it is. It's just annoying.

You watch regular television now and you have to sit through commercials, agonizing. And I love commercials. I love them. I mean, I don't mind DVRing shows and then fast forwarding through commercials and being able to just kind of

see them. So if I see something that jumps out at me during the fast forward, I can stop and go back and look at that ad. I don't mind that. But to have to actually sit through them, oh, so tedious. I mean, I watch a lot of shows. I mean, first of all, I watch very little on live.

television now. And since I don't have the cable box to DVR the shows, I mean, I'm watching most of these shows on, you know, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon. So, you know, no commercials. Okay.

No commercials. Which I'm a huge fan of. But again, I love, you know, I'm okay with that. But I'm guessing that sooner or later YouTube is going to have to go to the like the six second ads. They're just breaking. They're just breaking you in to not being able to skip through the ads.

We'll break them in. We'll give them the six second quick hits. They won't be able to fast forward through them. And then they'll get to the video. And then sometime in about six months from now, all ads you will not be able to skip through. And they'll just do a quick press release. All ads are now going to be on YouTube that you can't skip through. Press release done.

And so you're going to hit play, and that ad's going to start, and you're going to think it's the six-second ad. And 30 to 60 seconds later, you're still into the commercial world. I will say, though, one of the things that will help the websites with their commercials, when they have commercials that you can't skip through, I will sit through them more. I find myself sitting through them more and watching them more when there's a countdown on the screen telling me how long before the video.

But hey, what do I know? 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. 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 1,000 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.
