You're listening to the Jeff Fisher Show. When our water heater broke down last month, it was a nightmare. It took five hours for the plumber to show up, and he charged us a couple of hundred bucks just to come out. Then it cost another $1,800 to put in the new water heater. By the time it was all said and done, I felt like I'd been taken. But what else could I do? The smartest thing you can do is get a home warranty from American residential warranty.

Sundays belong to the dead now. Okay? Walking Dead is back. Yeah. and half of this season is I am ready for it. They released the four-minute trailer, the first four minutes of the episode a couple days ago. I am psyched.

Now, on Monday, I will release Talking Walking Dead, a separate podcast. You can look for it on, you know, the blaze.com slash radio under the Jeff Fisher Show. I am fired up about that. Monday is the Grammys. So, I mean, it's action-packed weekend all around, right? Action-packed.

When you go out, be, you know, be worried. Be worried because you might get bitten by a mosquito and, oh, my gosh, you might get Zika. Okay. Is it Zika, Zika? I'm calling it Zika. I don't care what you call it. Okay? It's a Zika virus and you might get it.

Okay? And it's going all over the world now. Okay? It's everywhere. Now, if you want to know about it, you can go, there's a ZikaVirusMap.net. ZikaVirusMap.net. I believe that it's put up by my man who did the Ebola site, the Ebola map site. So just be prepared for Zika.

Now, seriously, why are we so? I'm really, I'm confused at why we're freaking. out over this virus. Okay, I got it. It's everywhere. I got it. But, um, look, the symptoms, which I believe I have, oh, by the way, I think I have Zika. I mean, it could be wrong. A one in five people infected with Zika virus becomes ill. This according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, okay? The most common symptoms, fever. rash, joint pain, red eyes. I think I have those.

As a matter of fact, I know I have those. So I think I have Zika. Other common symptoms include muscle pain and headache. Yep. I have it. Put me down. Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex. Another one bites the dust.

Only you don't bite the dust. Okay. It's rare that anyone dies. okay the illness usually lasts for several days and two a week and then have a nice day okay

now I get that there's one doc one place that believes that this you know causes these birth defects in pregnant women that has not been 100% proven yet okay so we're just

obviously you don't want to have the birth defects so you know take precaution I got it. But I don't believe that's not 100% proven yet that it actually causes that. Okay. I're talking about Zika tests could be available within weeks. Yay! Now that's capitalism right there. There's a virus that people don't know that they have.

We have to get a test. Get it on the shelves right now. Test yourself for Zika. If it turns red. You have Zika. So just be prepared, okay? Because you really, you don't want to, you want to get bitten by the mosquito. Who wants them getting bitten by a mosquito?

Perhaps we should, I don't know, kill the mosquitoes. Let's see, there's some kind of chemical. What is that chemical that kills mosquitoes all over the world? Huh. What is that chemical? I'm trying to think of what it's called. It's a, you call it poison, but I call it DDT and good for humans because it's bad for mosquitoes. How about that?

How about let's take care of that? Okay, that'd be nice. What do you think? Maybe, maybe. Hey, it's the thought? Maybe we do it? Okay. Now, Valentine's Day.

Are you ready for Valentine's Day? Because I most definitely hate this. I hate Valentine's Day. I hate the whole idea of making me buy a gift at a certain time. Even Christmas drives me insane. I mean, I get it. It's a great holiday. It's wonderful and all that.

But if I want to buy you a gift, I'll buy you a gift. I hate being forced to buy someone a gift. Why? Now, mental floss put out Valentine's Day related gifts, each state Googles more frequently than other states. All right. Here in Texas, the most Googled Valentine Day related gift searched plus size lingerie. Makes you happy about being in Texas, doesn't it?

That's great. Florida's jewelry. Up in the Northeast, Jeff, let's see, New Hampshire, stuffed animals, Vermont chocolate, boring. Maine, Robert Burns, poetry. That's just Stephen King sitting in his house in Maine, the one guy in Maine.

I'll just look up poetry. Couples cooking class in, ugh, edible arrangement, Pandora Braves in Michigan, ballroom dancing lessons. Yay. In Wisconsin, fur coat. I wonder why that is.

That's great. In Montana, lobster tails. Wow. Montana? That's pretty amazing. And then in Idaho, Adam and Eve. Adam and Eve. I don't know if you're

They still send out their little bags in the mail to everyone. I haven't seen one in our mail. Maybe my wife is just throwing it away, or my father-in-law is keeping it for himself when he gets the mail. But I remember the little flyers, little bags used to come out for the Adam and Eve stuff. Couples, pajamas in California, flower delivery in Alaska. Ooh, get out there up in the north.

Start looking for sex toys. couples, yoga, oh my gosh, Oklahoma, boudoir photos. All right, stop it. If you're going to get somebody, something for Valentine's Day, at least, my gosh, get some jewelry and some flowers and move on. Okay? How about that?

And then, you know, I forgot the biggest thing going on this weekend. What the heck am I doing? I'm telling you about stupid gifts across the country for Valentine's Day, a day that agonizes me, which is tomorrow. But today, we have another GOP debate. Yay. Is this like the 100th GOP debate? I think it is.

I think maybe this is 100 and we're moving on to, you know, maybe 100, 204 debates. I can't take it. But we're having it tonight. So you can listen for a pre-debat chat with a doc and skip and Jay Severin tonight on the Blaze Radio Network, and then they'll wrap it up when the debate is over on the Blaze Radio Network as well.

So, you know, you can watch the debate, wherever you want to watch it, wherever you want to listen to it. But before the debate and after the debate, Doc Skip and Jay are going to lead you into the debate and take you out of the debate with what happened. And, you know, they are winding it down. I mean, now that our man, Jim Gilmore is out. You know, now you're talking about it.

Trump is still hawk on his big mouth and saying, you know, tweeting his, I'm going to sue Ted Cruz for not being an American state. Shut up. When he starts doing that, you know, things are, you know, looking a worse for the Donald. Okay. And I listened to Donald Trump yesterday on AM Tampa Bay in Tampa, Florida, 970 WFLA. He was having some big rally there last night. So, of course, he's got to, you know, go on the air and hawk his wares, and Jack and Ted were talking to him.

And it was, you know, it was another Donald Trump interview. And I just wish Ted Webb would have read the article and not just the headline of the Common Core, the Common Core statement. Because Ted asked him, so you're against Common Core, what are you doing? And Donald Trump went up and down and back and forth. I'm for Common Core. I'm for Common Core. I've always been for Common Core. I've always been for Common Core.

Where did you get that? Where'd you get that story? Send me that story. I wish I knew where you heard that story. Don, you said it. You said it. And I'm going to find exactly where he said it. But he may have misspoke.

I'll give him that. I hate to give Donald Trump the benefit of the doubt. I will. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. And I'll say, okay, you know, all right. So you misspoke, right? Don, you always been for Common Core. We got it.

No problem. No problem. But he posted his video on Facebook, he's claiming Common Core's total disaster. We can't let it continue, which is what he, you know, took his stance in Tampa yesterday on the morning show. However, okay,

he said a rally in Clemson, South Carolina, Wednesday night. Donald Trump came out in favor of the controversy of Common Core. Okay. He said, now this is what, I think he just, this is why I think he just misspoke. He said, we're going to do something special. Common Core, we're going to keep. Okay. Now, he may have meant we're going to keep going. We're going to keep after it. We're going to keep going to get rid of it. But he said, we're going to keep in South Carolina. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt that he misspoke. but he was adamant with Jack and Ted about I'm for Common Core

where did you hear that and where did you hear that and I really like that story and who wrote that story and where did you hear that I was screaming screaming I don't think they heard me because I was listening I was streaming the audio on my laptop

and I'm pretty sure they didn't hear me because they didn't ask and they didn't say, you said it. So the next time you hear Donald, swearing up and down about something, just know, okay, just know that he lies.

And also know, he said it. And he changes his mind with the wind. I'm trying to give him the benefit of it out with the Common Core thing because he has been pretty consistent. pretty consistent with that. But in the speech, in South Carolina,

he said we're going to keep Common Core. Okay? He said it. Ugh. Oh! Wish Ted would have heard me. It drives me insane. Where did you hear that story?

I'd like to know who wrote that story. You didn't send me that story. Donald. You. Set it. You're listening to the Jeff Fisher Show. The Blaze Radio Network. When our water heater broke down last month, it was a nightmare.
