Weekdays, 2 to 5 p.m. Eastern. on the Blaze Radio Network. All right, I can't get over Minecraft. I've already throwing the story out, but I can't get over Minecraft Boy. Look, there's a reason. Look, he can go anywhere in the world he wants, right? Everywhere in the world. And it's not like he's the movie star or the rock star or the TV superstar.

It's not like he's the person that can't go out in public without being recognized. Nobody knows this guy. Okay? So, I mean, the reason, he's got this beautiful $70 million home. home, you know, they want to share with friends. Apparently, he's struggling. Nobody can come over. They've all got to, whatever.

I'll tell you what, if they've been friends of yours for a long time, give them a couple a million. So they don't have to have a stupid job and then they can come over when you want them to, right? You say, here, here's a couple million. Take care of your family. And then, you know, come by every couple days and say hi and swim in the pool, whatever. You know, then he's worried about, I'm sure he's worried about, well, if I do that, then what do they, do they just like me for my money or are they my friend?

I got news for you, pal. 2.5 billion. And not a lot of people only like you because you're such a nice guy. Okay. So anyway, so, I mean, he can go anywhere in the world he wants. There's a reason why, you know, famous people that get recognized out in public all the time build and buy these huge homes that are fortresses. It's so that they can, you know, have some semblance of life without being infringed upon by all the people that want to have time with them. Look, that's the price you pay for fame and stardom.

You want, you love, you know, the money and the freedom that you can go anywhere in the world you want is cool. But the throwback is that, you know, a lot of times you get recognized and you've got cameras in your face and you've got to, you know, you've got to stop and say hello and move on where you're, you know, you know, you know, you've got to stop and say hello and move on where you're, you know, you know, You know, and a lot of times the famous people lose their, you know, in touch with the people because they just won't leave me alone. Uh-huh. That's good. When they start leaving you alone, you won't have any money. So he doesn't need this fortress to live in, right?

He can go anywhere that he wants to in the world. My gosh, you go any, $2.5 billion. I got, maybe he's got some mental problems anyway, right? He had struggles anyway. So, you know, he sold the company and he feels. like they made himself the company for 2.5, you know, they made him sell the company that he loved, he built. I mean, think of it. Minecraft is everywhere, which is a huge, a great thing. And, you know, it's his baby, right? And you can see where if he was struggling with some

sort of mental issue to begin with, he would be really sad that, you know, he got talked into selling his baby. Okay, well, create a new baby. All right, you know, I, a lot of, maybe he's a one-trick pony. I don't know, but create a new baby. Right? You got Minecraft. You created this wonderful thing. Some people disagree. We say it's not wonderful thing.

But you created this thing that's huge. If you are not lived in a hole, you know what Minecraft is around the world. There's toys. I mean, it's huge. And so, okay, create something else. Focus your time creating something else. But you've got this, you've got this. You're able.

to do that now. And what, it's just, it's just a fascinates me. Fascinates me because you're still good. I know he's got all the struggles that he always had, but he's traveling the world and he's so sad and he can't find a girlfriend because she left me.

Look, I got news for you. She left you. Not because of that. She left you because you're some kind of freak that's always wandering around going, nobody likes me. I've only got $2.5 billion. Nobody likes me.

I've only got, I mean, she's, I mean, if I'm her, I'm like, okay, shut up. Okay. I got you. Shut up. I don't want to hear it anymore. On the flip side of that, why would she leave him? I mean, stick around for a little cash, right? I mean, it's just me?

No. Okay. No problem. But then I was asked, what would you do? I mean, really, what was to be the one thing? Because $2.5 billion. You know, there's a lot of people that make a couple hundred million, you know, You get to the point of, you know, there's levels of rich, right?

There's levels of rich. So if you're, you know, maybe there's the $100 million mark. I was trying to think maybe what the mark is. Maybe the 50 to $100 million mark where that's really good, but it's not overly rich. Right? And then you've got the, then you go from when you hit about $250 million to, you're, maybe a billion dollars a year in that you know maybe 250 to 500 million that's another level and then once you hit that billion dollar mark that's a level then now you've now you're done

right i mean there's nothing you can't really do uh the money is working for itself you're working you know things are happening and yes you could i guess theoretically lose it but probably not and you've reached the point where the dollar, it's worth the same, but it's not really the same because it's, you know, you're doing whatever you can do. You do what you want to do. You go where you want to go. Your time is your time. Your focus, you know, time is the most important thing.

So you're traveling when you can travel. You have your private, you know, your private transportation so that when you need to go somewhere, you go. You don't wait. And that probably started back at about the 200 million, maybe 100 million mark. You know, when you start getting that, you've got time of the essence. Time is the most important thing you can have. That's worth the most. So you can't wait around in a TSA line for an extra hour and a half.

That hour and a half is important time. You can't just wait in line, taking their shoes off and waiting to, you know, fly to Des Moines. You know, if you need to go to Des Moines, you get in the plane, you go to Des Moines. You get done with your business, you get on your plane, you get out of there. And so, I don't know. It just fascinates me how, I don't know what the first thing is. Well, I do know what the first thing is I would purchase. And it ain't a new car.

All right. Although, you know, my Volkswagen bug is still chugging along pretty good. And it'll be time to get rid of it when I, when I, you know, hit that $200 million lottery and get a new, get a new, you know, maybe a new Volkswagen bug or, you know, you don't know. You might get a VW van or something. But, you know, it would be more of you're going to set up your family, right? You're going to set up trust funds and set up your family so that they are going to have to be okay.

So you don't have to worry about that. That's done, right? And then you can take care of yourself. Let's take care of them. Let's get them straightened out so that it. in the next, you know, 100 years, they're good. And it's because of you. And you've got it all worked out.

So you say, here you go. This is what your deal is. Here's what's happening. I love you. Boom, you're done. Now you take care of you and you move on. Right? Anyway.

We have, I've got so many great stories today. And I get to nothing. I get to nothing. I've got some great tech stuff. I've got some great crime stories. Oh my gosh. Some great crime stories. I wanted to kind of get to the transgendered stuff.

I mean, I don't know. You're going to get parenthood. You're going to get presidential race and Trump, and you're going to get everybody telling you. Hillary said she's sorry for the confusion that her private emails. Shut up. You're sorry. Oh, that makes it all better then.

Sorry, you didn't mean to back up over your kid's foot. Sorry. I know it's crushed forever. It makes it all better. Sorry. Sometimes, sorry ain't enough. You can write that down. You can quote me on that, okay?

Quote, Jeff Fisher. Sometimes, sorry ain't enough. Okay. And then you can, you know, we've got the transgender stuff, and you've got the kid in Missouri, and you've got the San Francisco Elementary School, shutting down, you know, making the all-purpose bathrooms. I just, I can't take it.

I really can't take it. You've got the lady going to jail for not wanting to issue same-sex marriage licenses. I mean, okay, so I got it. She doesn't want to do it. And it's her religious liberty. And we're pissed. And should she go to jail? No.

No, she shouldn't go to jail. She should have been probably fired or given another job with the state if we can't. fire because of the unions, right? And her line about, you know, I've been a great employee. I've always been a good worker. Yeah, well, you know, everybody is. I know it sounds cool, but everybody's a good employee until they're not, right? And sometimes, you know, you signed up to do a job and the job changes and that's not the

job you signed up to do. And if you can't move on and you can't adapt, then move on to quit. Go to another job. Or ask to be replaced. I mean, I'm not sure what's standing. in the, I know you got to take a stand, I got it, never again is now, I got it, you have to take a stand, you got to be who you are, you got to know who you are, but I don't know, sometimes it just seems like there are some fights that aren't worth the time and energy.

What do I know? Okay, all right, we'll get some, I've got some future stuff, I've got some new, some new, some new future stuff. You know what? We'll do that next. Here we go.
