Now, we've got a couple of stories to get to before we wrap it up with Brad.

that I wanted to touch on. Good news, for those of you that didn't know, the great Senator John McCain, you know if you've listened to this network for a while that he has a daughter, Megan. And good news about Megan, okay? The author, blogger, TV host, is going to begin contributing to Fox News.

Yes. A spokesman for the network confirmed the hire. McCain is expected to contribute to the network's primetime and daytime programming. While some deride her as a rich man snooky and a bit of anti-intellectual lightweight, Variety says the Columbia University graduate will be a good addition to Fox News as it heads into the 2016 presidential coverage. I could not agree more. she will bring us some really good entertainment for the 2016 presidential coverage. Did you know that she starred in a reality television series and a news show for Pivot TV?

I did not know that either. Surprisingly, they both have been canceled. So she's got that going for her. No problem. Actor John Hurt, Nighthood. The biggest part of this story that I didn't realize. Okay, John Hurt. And if you don't remember who he is, I mean, he's, you know, he's won Oscar nominations for The Elephant Man in Midnight Express, which was, you know, a thousand years ago.

But he was in The Doctor Who special, but you know him from the Harry Potter roles, Harry Potter films. But he was given knighthood by Queen Elizabeth. But he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer recently. and he said that his only regret was that his parents were not alive to watch him collect the honor at Windsor Castle. He said it does make one inordinately proud. So he was very happy to get that. But I didn't know he was so sick. Sad to see him.

He's 75. Sad to see. I always enjoyed his work. He was a good actor. Forty years, man, he's been acting. Amazing. Good news from McDonald's. You know, McDonald's is a huge fan.

I am of McDonald's. I wish they'd follow some of my ideas. Maybe they would help them along. But they now have Gouda. Yes. Yes, the cheese is Gouda. And the burger is customized. Yes, this is the all-new McDonald's.

Can't wait. Let's just keep pushing that, McDonald's. And you know what's going to happen? They're going to keep saying, we can't figure out why our numbers are going down. We're losing customers. I wonder why. Let's get some more Gouda. No, McDonald's, that's not the problem.

So I was at the grocery store, speaking of food. I was at the grocery store the other day, and I know this is going to come to as a surprise to you. But I was going down the ice cream aisle. And just to look, of course, please. and I notice when you think, we've talked about it a couple times on the show, Bluebell Ice Cream has been off the shelves for quite a while now. I mean, in a long time. And they filled in the, of course, I mean, you know, I wouldn't expect the grocery stores to have empty shelves. They've got to try to move something.

And I'm sure as soon as Bluebell was pulled, you know, the other ice cream companies were fighting in the back parking lot for space. So, and you can see that a lot of the. The stores have made their brand a bigger section and given the others just a little bit to keep them happy. But Bluebell is trying to fight back. And they have a Fort Worth businessman and Sid Bass is just invested in the Bluebell. And they're trying to come back and trying to fight come back. Now they hope that they can start production soon. But they don't know.

And the amazing thing about Bluebell is that, you know, how? How long they've been off the shelves? I mean, it's going to be a big fight to get their space back, to get their production back. They've lost a lot of money. And I hope they do because I'm a big, big fan of Bluebell ice cream. And plenty of their flavors, too, by the way. Almost would you say every flavor, Jeff? I would.

I would say almost every flavor of Bluebell. I could handle myself. And one more from the food bin. The Navy has banned fried food. So that's good that our naval officers will no longer have fried food. They can have baked, but no more fries. None of that fried stuff. Listen, we want to thank you for serving and for protecting America.

But no, you can't have French fries. Okay, pal, get that through your head. You can't have French fries. The great Brad Meltzer coming up. Just the other side. of this cover of commercial break. This is the Jeff Fisher show. Only on the Blaze Radio Network.
