The Jeff Fisher Show is on. All right. You're always going to be a day late and a dollar short. If you're a girl, I wanted a boy. If you're a boy, I always wanted a girl. Those are things you may have heard from your parents. I know I did. And so did Mike Edison, who's joining me now,

publisher, musician, radio host, and author of, you are a complete, disappointment. That's your latest book. Are those words you actually heard, Mike? Yeah, you bet they are. They were, in fact, the last words my father ever said to me. No kidding. Yeah, no kidding. He went down just like that. He was in a hospital room in Arizona. It was Father's Day. I went out to visit him. I live in New York City. I went out to Arizona to visit him. I knew he wasn't doing that great. And said to me, I'm glad you're here.

There's something I'd been meaning to tell you. You know, he had this oxygen mask on, and the tubes were shooting out of his arms, and all this, you know, buzzing and beeping and all his company, he says, come here, a little closer. You've been a complete disappointment. And, you know, like, wow, and he was just getting started. I mean, that was just the beginning.

He said to me, you're broken and you need to be fixed. And you think you're a hot shot in New York writing books, but you're not. No one wants to read your crap. Wow. And then he said to me, It took a nice pause and he said, and you're the only person in this family who was fat.

Mike, are you me? I mean, are we the same person? That is unbelievable. So, you know, I love you too, Dad. I was to say, what are you going to do? I mean, you can't swing back. And it's a dying man. I mean, the guy's lying in bed.

I mean, you just got sort of take it on the chin, right? Or you bend the oxygen tube a little bit and say, excuse me, I didn't hear you. Oh, man. He didn't eat my house. You know, I mean, they basically carded them off to die after that. So, and, you know, I mean, we're laughing, and it's okay because, you know, tragedy plus time equals comedy and all that. Right, sure.

Laps when I tell the story. Sure. You are a complete disappointment? What, you mean like a, like a Mick Jagger solo record? Right. But that's about, you heard that from him as he was on his deathbed, obviously, as you said. But, I mean, when you were, you know, younger. Did you, you grew up with your folks?

So I'm guessing maybe he told you, you know, you really need to. Yeah, it was a tune I had heard variations of the whole life. You're never going to make it. You're not good enough. When I was a kid and I started playing the drums, what do you waste your time with that for? You're never going to make it. You're not musical.

You're not good. But, you know, it wasn't too long after that. I was on tour all over the world opening up for the Ramones. People had something going on. People don't know what good music is anymore. No one's going to publish you. No one wants to read yourself, and, you know, it obviously worked out otherwise. It's tough.

I mean, the story could have ended otherwise. You know, I mean, it has a happy ending. The happy ending is me. I'm a happy cat, but, well, boy, boy, I'm hearing from lots of people who told me their parents were pretty rough on them. Why are you as smart as your brother? Look at your, get a job like your sister. Look, be a lawyer, be a doctor. or whatever.

That's almost a book in itself. We should probably just do that book. Just have people tell us their stories with their parents telling them what a loser they are. Yeah, well, you know, there's an old joke about the first woman president, the first woman Jewish president, and she's up on the steps of the Capitol, you know, being sworn in, it's inauguration day, and her mom's in the audience, and she turns to the follow next. next to her and she says, see that woman up there, up there on the steps of the Capitol,

the one with her hand on the Bible, the guy next to her says, yeah, and the woman says, yeah, her brother's a doctor. Exactly. It's never good enough for something. Never good enough. Exactly. So you, Mike, all right, so this is the latest book. We'll hawk the book here for a little bit and then we'll move on a little bit because

you've had a fascinating life. And I would love to talk to you a little bit about some of your travels other than just being called a complete disappointment by your father. I mean, who hasn't had that done, Mike, seriously? So I can get it, it's up on Amazon. We can get it at your website, Mike Edison.com, anywhere that books are sold, I'm guessing. That's right. Wherever better books are sold, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Mike Edison.com is my website.

And also on my website, there are tour dates. I'm out now on the road bringing the message to the people. I'm like the troubled troubadour of tomorrow. Nice. It's coming from town to town telling the story. And I guarantee if you show up at one of my gigs, it'll be a lot of fun. Well, listen, the price is so low, we can't mention it on the air. But we make it up in volume.

Yes, we can. So, I mean, all right, look, you've had a fascinating life. For years, you talked about for years. I mean, for quite some time you were known for your participation in high times and marijuana. Are you surprised where we're at in America now with marijuana? I mean, this is what everyone was hoping for, almost. I think it's pretty great, you know. I used to say when people asked you,

when I was the publisher of high times, people would say, do you think marijuana is going to be legalized in our lifetimes? I used to think that it would be per se legalized, meaning they would stop busting people for it because people would realize the war on drugs was a big loser and that it was really, you know, the price was so high,

the price of people's lives was so high that they would just stop prosecuting. it. Well, I guess what I failed to see is that someone was going to realize they could make money off of it. You know, I mean, I forgot that. I always figured that politicians were always going to be afraid to say, hey, let's legalize pot because the next guy's going to say, look, you're soft on drugs and make it about the kid. Look, you want you to give drugs to kids. Because that's what they say, right? And now it's not so soft on drugs. It's, oh, man, they're putting way too much tax on it, bastards. Well, you know, it's not legal in marijuana, but we've got a marijuana.

who basically stopped busting everybody. So it's still the underground economy. I mean, for the record, I don't smoke that much pot. I had this reputation because I was the publisher of High Times and I wrote for them for a long time. And I am very pro-pot. I'm very anti-flacker. Oh, there you go.

And I was always the problem over at High Times. It was like Groundhog Day over there. We'd have the same meeting every day, every day, because no one could remember having the meeting the day before. Right, because it's full of slackers. Come on. But, you know, I like being part of the culture, though. I think it's important.

I think that voice is very important. Can we just run this? Clearly, they're on the right side of history. Can we just run the same picture of the Hawaiian bud this month, too? That'd be great. Okay. Yes, absolutely. Now, you're on the road.

You're on the tour. Your website's going to show you on the road. So when you're hearing this today, you're going to be out on the West Coast in San Francisco, spreading the Mike Edison love. Yeah. Yeah. Friday the 13th in San Francisco of Books Inc. Incan Opera Plaza and Oakland

at the nomadic press space, cool little indie indie site. We're going to be shaking it up on Saturday, the 17th in LA, and we're coming back to New York City, the Upper West Side, Barnes & Noble. It's all on Mike Edison.com. We're going to Chicago, Milwaukee.

You know, a musician, I love being on the road. I like bringing it out. You're in a band, that's what you do, right? That's right. You go to town to town, and you shake it up. And I'm bringing my piano player with me, and I've got some great local musicians joining me. I think book readings can really suck.

Author events can really suck. People here book reading and, like, you can't, you know, they're already asleep before you even done to what you're going to do. So I'm really trying to turn that all concept of what a reading can be on its head. And, you know, try to keep it exciting. That sounds fun. We were just out in San Francisco. I was just out in San Francisco a few months ago.

And, wow, that was the first time I'd ever been there. I don't know how many times you've been to San Francisco, but it was over the Super Bowl extravaganza, and they had in parentheses cleaned it up, and it really didn't appear to be that cleaned up. So while you're out walking around, Mike, just be careful where you step. I see.

I mean, it was almost worse than New York. I love San Francisco. And I was out there, though, a long time ago, in 1984, with this punk rock, band from New York and do a lot of protests of summer. Ronald Reagan was being the Republican convention was in San Francisco that summer. The Olympics

were in L.A. Ronald Reagan was being nominated for the second term. We were out there. We were playing gigs with the dead Kennedys. It was just pretty happening. It was a great... I was 18 years old. I was old. And I was double-parked outside someone's house up with Haydashbury and a cop pulled up behind us and he saw that

the car was filled with hippies and punk rock and he wrote me up, not just for double park, and he wrote me up for reckless driving. It was like a zillion points in my license. And as well, he told me, this is the best one. He said, he said, you should leave San Francisco and never come back. And I was thinking, like, what is this? High noon.

But I'm here. Some people come to leave Sanford, leave town. Never come back. And so funny, every time I go back to San Francisco, I know it's been 30 years, but I'm afraid I'm going to run under that cop. What did I tell you? I told you don't come back. I told you never come back.

Never come back. Yeah, because he saw some hippies in San Francisco. I must have been really shocking. I had never come back. Speaking of running into someone, I always think I'm going to run into my one old football coach who told me the football helmet was worth more than I was once. And I keep waiting to run into him to have him told you.

I told you that helmet was worth more than you. Yeah, the people were running to. It's all my high school teachers who told me about my permanent record that was going to follow me about my entire life. They're like, well, without that permanent record, I never would have been hired at high times, I guess. Yeah, I mean, yeah, all right. My permanent record is on the air every day.

You all see it every day. It's all part of the deal. All right, so, also, one of the things that, okay, so you're on tour with the Dead Kennedys. I mean, there's a fascinating group themselves. You were touring with the Ramones early on. You mentioned them. I mean, my gosh, man, there's some characters in both those bands

just by themselves. Yeah, I was very fortunate. I came up playing rock and roll music in New York City at a time that if you were good and you were sharp and if you worked hard, you know, it had something different. You could really make it. It was hard. Being a band in a band in New York is hard. I mean, no one is cars. You can't set up the drums in your house.

You have to go someplace to rehearse. It's like nearly impossible. You know, there's no one has a garage or a basement. It's really a hard in New York. But if you're, you know, there's a barrier to entry to really just be in a band in New York. It was tough. It's not an environment like Orange County where you live in suburbia. That's why the punk rock from there sounds so much different than the punk rock from the year.

But we did it. We got lucky and someone said, hey, you guys want to go to Amsterdam and make a record. We'll take it in Berlin and London and Paris. And later I got to go to Tokyo and all these great places. I mean, never mind going to Seattle and L.A. and New Orleans and Austin. Right. You know, it was great. And it all because, you know, basically because it did everything my father told me,

I shouldn't do. So it's almost, I mean, it's good that you were a complete disappointment. Well, if there's anybody who was a disappointment in that relationship, sadly, it was my dad. And, you know, I don't want to give anybody the wrong idea. I know. I mean, it's heartbreaking, you know, to be told up by your parents and discourage your children. The book's very funny. I hope I know people tell me that they've been laughing out loud, you know, a lot.

But also, I'm getting nice notes from people who are crying because they say, my God, this is like my parents telling me there you can't you shouldn't you know and dashing your dreams my father once told me he said i hate you because you were living your dreams and i never lived mine boy doesn't that isn't that makes so much sense for so many people sad to i know it's just like and he died screaming and yelling so you know how you know what it was a very successful guy he made some dough in his life but by following the straight and narrow this very parochial set of rules but really where did it get him in the end if you asked me it bit him in a yes because if you go out screaming

at your kid you've got some seriously unresolved issues. Boy, no kidding. And I mean, there are, all of us are, you know, are going to end up looking back saying we wish we would have done something. You know, I don't know what that is for you or anyone else, but I mean, we all know what it is inside

our own head and it's too bad. I mean, I hope you don't. I hope you, personally for me, I hope you don't. But I'm pretty sure I will. And, you know, that's a frustrating time. Well, you know, this book is about being the person that you want to be, not the person you were told you should be. And what I know about people dying is they don't usually say, oh, I regret doing this or that.

Right. I regret not doing this. I regret, you know, not, whatever it is, spending time with the kids, or I always wanted to go parachuting. I never went to Paris. You know, whatever, whatever it is. And what's weird in this life is most fantasies are actually achievable. It's really weird if you put your mind to it.

I've heard so many people putting up walls for the dumbest things. I've always wanted to go to Paris. So go to Paris. You know, I mean, meanwhile, I mean, they're spending the money every year. They go to Disneyland with their kids or they're throwing money at something else. What's holding you back from anything? You know, any fantasy, any sexual fantasy, any rock and roll fantasy, most of it's achievable if you just ask really nicely.

So speaking of sexual fantasies, you've written a number of sexual fantasy books. Oh, yeah, 2028 pornographic novels back in a previous life. I love you for that. One of my first jobs when I dropped out of college the first time, and I landed this job. You don't understand. People said, oh, yeah, it was before the Internet. This was before it was videotape. Right. I mean, you were looking at eight, everybody thought it was cool to have the eight millimeter film reels.

Eight millimeter was the thing, I guess, at the time. I mean, VHS tape was just sort of coming up, and of course, you know, I mean, that's pornography drove that technology, right? Of course. I mean, the whole world later for the porn world to say VHS or beta, and when they picked it to VHS, that's where everybody went. That's correct. You know, on personal computers, streaming technology, pornography invented it all. You know, social media was invented by pornographers to put a bunch of perverts and touch with each other. But back in the day, it was paperback books, was the delivery system.

and I got this job. I wrote a book a week. I wrote a novel a week, and I'll tell you what. That's how I learned how to write. I mean, to write on deadline and to really sit down and just zoom along and, you know, pace and meter and to get it done and to be disciplined. You know, if you're hungover, screw it, sit down and write. You know, you've got a problem at home.

The girlfriend broke up with you. Put down your head and write. You want to, you know, go get stoned or play hooky, go to the ball game. Forget it. You've got to write your book. Otherwise, you don't get paid. It was a great lesson. me. Wow. A book a week.

A book a week. Until I burned out. There were some periods where I kind of let it go. But, yeah, I got about 28 books over the course of about almost a year. A book a week. How many pages are you looking at? How many words are you looking at for a book a week? No, there are like 40,000 page books, 40,000 word books. You know, they were a big type. Right, right, right, right. No, no pictures, though. You know, there were real paperback books with the beginning. Oh, Mike, don't tease yourself.

You know, conflict and resolution was very important. Don't put yourself down, Mike. The pictures were all just in the words. It's okay. It was a different time. Yeah, no question about that. Okay, so now I also, before I let you go, we'll talk, we'll let you talk a little bit about,

tell me a little bit about your podcast and what Arts and Seizures is about. Oh, well, thanks for asking, arts, arts and seizures, as I like to say. We're on the Heritage Radio Network. It's heritage radio network.org, and it is just like it sounds, arts and seizures, not arts and leisure, like The New York Times. And it's a no-holds barred, rock and roll kind of show.

I co-hosted sometimes with my friend Pete Zerumbo, who's the singer of the Pleshtones, and we've had some great guests, sort of people, like pro wrestlers to local artists, poets. I think the best we had Bobby Keyes from the Rolling Stones on before he died. And for me, as a fan boy, as a rock and roll and boy, that was just the greatest. You know, Bobby was a basketball player for the Rolling Stones. And he was such a gentleman, he, you know, he wouldn't talk, and he would say anything bad about the stones while we're on the air,

but the second the mic was off, oh, man, he tore in the Jagger. You know, we had a few of them, and, boy, he hated a Jagger. That's great. He ate a Jagger, like, you know, screw him. him, you know, he, you know, Mick wanted to pay him like $100 a night. And I'm talking about, like, now. Right. Like, not like a 1960s.

He's give a hundred bucks. That's hilarious. Now, speaking of wrestling, now you've got me on, I happened to read, I came across, I didn't realize this, that you were a huge fan of Hulk Hogan. And Hulk, I used to see Hulk. I used to see Hulk. I used to see Hulk. I used to see Hulk quite a bit when I lived in Florida.

and his one son went to school with my son for a while in Florida before. And they pulled out of the school right when they were beginning the reality show. So, I mean, after that, I really didn't see him much after that. However, he is back in the news again with his lawsuit and winning $140 million. And now he's rebuilding up another lawsuit against Gawker. And he wants more money from these bastards. and it's just a never-ending battle, I think enough is enough from Hulk. Well, I'll tell you what, I think Hogan owes me $130 million for having to watch him,

you know, like lumber around the ring wearing that belt that he didn't earn for all those years. You know, Roddy Piper told me one time, he said, Hogan's such a jerk that he wears his spandex when he moses long. That is absolutely probably true. I mean, the reality show showed us that, right? The cover of my first book, I have fun everywhere I go, which talks about high times and the days. I was working in the wrestling business and stuff.

There's actually a picture of me strangling, Hulk Hogan. Oh, see? See? I root for the bad guys. I can't help it. I like the heels. You know?

The good guys in wrestling were never that interesting. No, they never were. No. They never were. All right, Mike, I know you're busy, and I've kept you a while, so I'll let you go. But Mike Edison, thank you very much. Mike Edison.com.

The new book, you're Hawking. You are a complete disappointment. And just always remember that. Take that with you. All right. You are a complete disappointment. appointment. Thank you. It's been for great talking to you. Mike, I appreciate it. This is the Jeff Fisher Show on the breeze radio network.

That it is. 888-903.33 is the phone number if you would like to participate. Coming up immediately following this broadcast today, Puro Pelka, Mike O'Pelka, although Charlie Harari is filling in for Mike today. And I don't know if he's got a special separate giveaway. I understood that Mike was going to be giving away, or Charlie was going to be giving away Mike Opelka masks so that you could all just hold up the mask and look just like Mike. And why in God's name anyone would want to do that? I have absolutely no idea. But, you know, hey, listen to him, maybe you can win an Opelka mask.

So I've got a ton of stuff for you here on the Jeff Fisher show. on the Blaze Radio Network. The Jeff Fisher Show, the Blaze Radio Network. That it is. On the Blaze Radio Network, 888-903.33 is the phone number. Welcome to it. All right. So, the Justice Department, Monday, sued the state of North Carolina,

calling the anti-LGBTV law unconstitutional. And yes, you heard me. I called it the LGBT. I left out the queue. I apologize. If I asked you, then yesterday, they sent the big letter out. The big directive, sweeping mandates from our ruler on high,

Barack Obama. There's no room in our schools for discrimination of any kind, including discrimination against transgender students on the basis of their sex. This guidance gives administrators, teachers, and parents the tools they need to protect transgender students from peer harassment and to identify and address unjust school policies. Schools want to do right by all their students and have looked to us to provide clarity on steps that they can take to ensure that every student is comfortable at their school. Is an environment free of discrimination and has an opportunity to thrive. If I asked you who the Secretary of Education was, could you tell me?

Because I don't think I could have told you yesterday. Thursday, the 12th of May, if you said, hey, Jeff, the Secretary, the United States Secretary of Education, who is it? I don't think I could have answered it. I would have said, you know, that person who's really educated and works in Washington, D.C., that person, well, his name is John B. King, Jr. and he said the letter comes in response to request from schools and parents seeking guidance. Uh-huh. The Justice Department on Monday sued the state of North Carolina. Then they send down the sweeping edict.

Then Attorney General Loretta Lynch, God lover. In her speech, announcing the suit, we see you. We stand with you. and please know that history is on your side. I could puke. That's where we're at in America. That's where we're at. Be sure to let anyone use any bathroom.

No matter what. No matter what. Don't you dare. Don't you dare? Question. Anyone ever. Oh, there's a new book coming out in Washington, D.C. And the book will be out all over the country, and I'm sure probably the world.

The title, The Confessions of Congressman X. If you think about all these sweeping edicts and these great things coming from our rulers on high in Washington, D.C., and you say to yourself, you know, it's going to be Donald Trump. Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders. One of those three most likely is going to be your president, your ruler on high in the United States of America. We've all heard the stories of the Netflix show House of Cards, how much it resembles what goes on in Washington, D.C.

In fact, Robin Wright has told us in an interview that they, in their research founded Washington, D.C. was worse. Well, now we have the Confessions of Congressman X. It's an inside look to the dark side of Congress. Now, it's, you know, it's a whole 84 pages, so I might be able to get through it, actually. And, you know, it's an anonymous, anonymous guy. It's going to be written by Robert Atkinson, a former chief of staff and press secretary for two congressional Democrats,

said it took notes on the series of informal talks, and now is publishing them with permission. Permission to publish these notes, but not the names, the confessions of Congressman X. In the book, like most of my colleagues, I promise my constituents a lot of stuff I can never deliver. But what the hell? If it makes them happy hearing it,

and they're stupid enough to believe it, Shame on them. I contradict myself all the time, but few people notice. One minute I rail against excessive spending and ballooning debt. The next minute I'm demanding more spending on education, health care, unemployment benefits, conservation projects, yada, yada, yada, yada. I'm for having everything just like my constituents. How ironic that most of us in Congress run against Congress

and the culture of corruption we perpetuate. It's as if we're all, we've all lost our effing sanity. Business organizations and unions fork over more than $3 billion a year to those who lobby the federal government. Does that tell you something? We're operating an effing casino. Seniority sucks. Most of the leaders in both parties, House and Senate are living fossils who don't exactly convey an attractive and vigorous image of Congress. We need to weed our geriatric landscape,

plays longtime careerists with new blood, people who understand the power of collaboration. Political columnists, TV commentators, and talk show hosts are inherently biased and aspire to affect election outcomes. Pretending otherwise is a thing of the past. Either red or blue, and there's no in between. Little wonder voters flock to TV stations, newspapers, and websites offering them the partisan news slant they believe in. Journalists are a lot like politicians. The more elite ones are puffed up with self-importance and entitlement. Election campaigns are a pain in the rear, unless I win, in which case it's a nice ego boost.

Then it's back to shaking the money tree and selling access to me and my legislative staff. It's important to cultivate a concocted image of myself to make sure that the public sees me as I want them to see me. It's brand management 101. I'm marketed no differently than a fancy car or athletic shoes. Those are just a few excerpts from Confessions of Congressman X. Yes, Washington is working for you. Can't wait to read that. Confessions of Congressman X.

Now, I get the impression, as I've thumbed through that, It's almost like, you know, you watch House of Cards and you want to believe that it's that, but you go, ah. In the back of your mind, you go, no, it can't be that bad. But you want to believe it. You go, I knew it. I knew those bastards were like that. So when you go through, see this Confessions of Congressman X, you think, I knew it. And you're going to turn each page.

And you're going to, I knew it. It's exactly how they feel. I knew they felt that it was far easier than you think to manipulate a nation of naive, self-absorbed sheep, who crave instant gratification. I knew they thought that. Confessions of Congressman X. Now it comes out the 24th of this month, I believe. So we'll look forward to that. Let's see if it actually does make you feel like,

I knew it. Knew they were like that. This is the Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network. The Jeff Fisher Show. Welcome to it. 888-90333 is the phone number. You can follow me on Twitter at Jeff EMRA. Facebook, Jeff Fisher Radio, and of course, Instagram at Jeff EMRA.

A new study. From U.S.-based food testing company Clear Labs has to discovered from a sample of 258 burgers, two cases of meat in vegetarian products, three burgers with rat DNA, and one case of human DNA. That's not that bad, right? We're looking at three, four, five, six burgers out of 258. I mean, those are pretty good odds. The most likely cause they claim is hair, skin.

or fingernail that was accidentally mixed in during the manufacturing process. Referring, of course, to the human DNA. What many consumers don't know, and this is a little highlighted version in this story, is that some amounts of human and rat DNA may fall within an acceptable regulatory range. Yes, that's absolutely correct. This, I used to, I'm really hesitant now to buy canned mushroom. and I tell you why. And I buy them now and I pour them out and I rinse them real good and then, you know, you cook them up.

It's very rare I buy canned mushrooms because we used to live next door to a lady who told me that she worked for the one company that used to can mushrooms. And you don't know what goes in those, Jeff. You don't want to eat those. because with most food under regulatory guidelines, human and rat DNA may fall within an acceptable regulatory range. You don't know. You don't know what they allow with those, Jeff. Don't eat those cans of mushrooms. Okay.

But if you're having a burger, right, the odds are pretty good. You may get a little human or rat DNA. You put some mushrooms out. it cook it up you'll be fine he'll be fine worry about it stop it you've you've eaten worse you'll look at me like that you know you have so my favorite meme of the week I think that I'm gonna start something up I feel like Michael Pelko now my favorite the favorite meme of the week favorite favorite meme of the week back of a minivan you know people have the little stickers on. Sometimes you see Calvin peeing on the Chevy symbol or the Dodge symbol or the

Chrysler symbol or whatever. And, you know, they got the little stickers on the families, you know, the little kid, the little mom, the dad, the boy, the dog, the cat, whatever. On the back of this minivan there's a mom, a dad, one, two, three, four girls, a boy, one, two more girls and a little baby and two cats on the stickers. So you're looking at mom and dad and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight kids, one boy, not sure what the baby is, and two cats. And the window is dirty. And someone has written on the window, OMG, stay off of her.

That's the meme, meme, meme of the week of the Jeff Fisher show. So I've got a ton of stuff to get to today. We've got micro stuff on jobs. Man, I want to talk to you a little bit about work. It's unbelievable to me how people don't really want to work anymore. You know they don't. I mean, I don't. I don't.

I honestly, I don't want to work anymore. I'm okay with someone saying, Jeff, you've won $240 million. Go away now. I am gone. you know, except for this show. I mean, I'd want to be with you, of course. I never want to leave you. You and I?

You and I? Now, we talked a little bit about, I think it was on this show, we talked a little bit about Coke Zero changing their name and having to put Coke Zero sugar out of the UK and just agonizing and changing the color codes of their cans so they all got the Coca-Cola red and stuff. But Budweiser, Budweiser is going to be selling, America beer for the next few months.

It's definitely a not over-the-top statement. Oh, no, not at all. We're embarking on what should be the most patriotic summer of this generation has ever seen. Because we've got Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Budweiser has always strived to embody America in a bottle and we're honored to salute this great nation where our beer has been passionately brewed

for the past 140 years, although it's not owned by an American company anymore. But that's okay. Don't worry about it. And we're going to make sure that everybody gets drunk and gets Zika virus in Brazil. But we love you as in America. Drink it. Drink it up.

Drink it up. And wait. And wait for everybody to be getting. Olympic Zika. The Olympic Zika. What's wrong with you? Ooh, he has Olympic Zika. This is the Jeff Fisher Show.

Only on the Blaze Radio Network. The experiment was a success. Begin life force reboot program. Now. Stand clear. Signs stable. It's alive. Set it loose.

This is the Jeff Fisher show on the Blaze Radio Network. Why is it that you get song stuck in your head? I've got other things to talk to you about, but I've had this song stuck in my head for... We've talked about this before. We've talked about it before. we have. As I say it out loud and I just I can't help it. I get

these songs in my head for days. It's been like three days. Maybe four. It may have been longer. I don't remember. It's a couple weeks ago. I'm out driving around with my daughter. Listen, we're doing, running around doing something. I got the radio on. And on comes

a song. I hadn't heard it before. Come to find out. It was released. in 2011. It's from I, because I, you know, my daughter is, that's great, let's hear that again.

Let me see your phone. My eight year old. Let me see your phone. I got to bring it up. We can play it again. Okay. So it's Kelly Clarkson, Mr. No-It-all.

I know. Don't, don't, don't, don't not look at me like that. Okay, I got it. It's Kelly Clarkson. I got it. I said don't look at me like that. But it's this Mr. No-it-all.

I cannot get this stupid song out of my head. And so it's almost gone. I mean, it's almost, it's just way out there, way back there. It's still there. It's still there because it's still, anything could spark it. But it's gone. It's almost gone. It's almost over the horizon.

if I hear it or somebody mentions a word like lonely and it's why it could come back, raging back into my head, but it's almost gone. I walk into the house yesterday afternoon and what is my daughter saying? Yesterday comes crashing back into my brain for another couple of days.

Anyway, that's the story of my last couple of my days. work now. I was walking around trying to get rid of Kelly Clarks and Mr. Know it all in my head. Sorry. So let's talk a little job, shall we? Mike Roe. I look.

Sometimes Mike will say something and you go, Mike, no, what are you thinking? But most of the time, you think, yes. You are right on, Mike. So I read his post, and he's pissed at Wallet Hub. and 10 news out in California for reporting on it the way they reported on it. But his Facebook post says when people ask me why millions of good jobs remain unfilled, while millions of able-bodied Americans remain unemployed,

I try to alternate my responses between a decline in work ethic, an unslot of unrealistic expectations, and our irresistible desire to reward bad behavior. But I think the biggest reason, so much legitimate opportunity goes unloved, is due to our bizarre obsession with separating good jobs from bad jobs. And there's no better way to discourage the next generation from learning a skill that's actually in demand than by telling them that certain jobs are bad and therefore beneath them. Consider the latest wisdom from the luminaries and wallet hub. For whatever reason, these arbiters of job satisfaction have taken it upon themselves to identify the best and worst vocations in America. To accomplish this, a cadre of experts were consulted as Wallet Hub compared and contrasted over 100 entry-level occupations across the three key dimensions, immediate opportunity, growth potential, and job habits, hazards.

Job hazards. I can speak. I can say that word. Next, because science is important, Wallet Hub identified 11 relevant metrics. Each was assigned to corresponding weight. Then each metric was given a value between 0 and 100, where in 100 represents the most favorable conditions for a specific entry-level position in 0 the least. In this way, 109 different occupations were ranked from first to worst. I'm tempted to spell out the absurdity of Wallet Hub's methodologies show why the statistics they use are as flawed as they are irrelevant.

Instead, I'm just going to post their top 10. and bottom 10 careers and direct you to their website where you can judge their methodologies and agenda for yourself. In the end, Mike says, at a time when society should be celebrating opportunity wherever it occurs, in all its varied forms, we instead shine a light on research that demonizes work, disparages the skilled trades, discounts the importance of dozens of good careers, and demeans thousands of skilled trade people. Madness. If I were just a little older, I'd be standing on the porch in my bathroom, shaking my finger, and saying, shame on you, Channel 10. Shame on you, Wallet Hub. Sadly, no one takes angry men in bathroom seriously. So I'm instead offering $400,000 of worth, work, ethic scholarships to people interested in pursuing the very careers in Wallet Hub's bottom 10. And what are those bottom 10, you ask? Well, those bottom 10?

Welder, floor assembler, plumber, boiler maker, carpenter, tool and dye maker, automotive mechanic, emergency dispatcher, a machinist, a drilling engineer, aircraft painter. Those are the bottom of the list. bottom of the list for entry-level jobs. Think of that. And who is most important when you need them? The, well, I guess it'll guess the obvious answer is when you need them,

and they're all important. Number one on the list is engineer for entry-level job. Engineer. When's the last time you said, I need an engineer? Or a plumber. I'm guessing. Most of you listening have needed a plumber before you. you've needed an engineer.

Right? So good for Mike. You know, look, Mike is a big proponent for jobs, and I'm telling you, there are companies all over, and he knows this, that are dying for employees. And these entry-level positions on many of these jobs are going to be way more than your little nasty $15 an hour wage. Got to learn a little something, and then you've got to work. we've all had, look, what I do for a living now is not manual labor.

There's no, I make no bones about that. I'm happy that there's no manual labor. I don't want to do manual labor. Have I done it? Yes. Yes, I have. Why? Because I needed a job.

And I needed to feed myself. And I needed to feed my family. And I don't know. I mean, I guess we've talked about it before, but I mean, I've worked forever. I mean, I started working probably when I was 11, 10 or 11. Working every Saturday for Mr. Wallace, the guy down the street who owned horses and kept them at the fairgrounds. And we'd drive out to the fairgrounds and I'd clean horse stalls on Saturday. and wash horses and take out horse poop straw and bring in fresh straw.

That was my job, and I'll never forget after talking. And this old guy, Mr. Wallace, was an old work for the railroad. He was an old guy, World War I guy. And I remember him asking, you know, he needed me help. And we used to talk, he loved it because I was, you know, loved sports. And he was a big sports guy. and fascinating, fascinating, old man. I would love to talk to him now.

And so he asked me to do this, and he said, you're going to have to ask you folks, if I can take you out there, but you can come out there every Saturday and I'll pay you. So I go home, and my dad's sitting there, and I said, hey, dad. You know, Mr. Wallace asked if it was okay if I, you know, work for him on Saturdays

out at the fairgrounds. You told him yes, right? Well, you wanted to make sure that it was okay. You can go back down there and tell them you'll do it. There's no need for you to be standing in this kitchen now. Go tell them. You get a job? It's your ass out of here.

I think that was probably my first actual job where something was expected of me. And, you know, we had Anderson Cooper on the radio show yesterday. and he'll be on the TV show whenever Glenn interviewed him for the TV show but he was on the radio show yesterday and he was a fascinating, what a nice guy and a fascinating individual and he talked about his whatever is

great great great great great grandpa or whoever it was you know the original Vanderbilt and how he started at I think he may have even said 10 or 11 or something of building a shipping empire by started by bringing people stuff across the river, by rowing people's stuff across the river in a little boat.

You know how you could not do that today? There's not a, there's not a regulation in the country that would allow an 11-year-old kid to row a boat across a river with somebody else's luggage and their stuff and deliver it to the other side. It is not going to happen. Why? All for your safety. All for your safety. I mean, it is, it's pretty amazing.

But when you start thinking that I can't, I don't want to do that job, that job is nasty. That's the bottom 10. Ooh. Ooh, a plumber? Ooh, an automotive mechanic? So what happens when you need a plumber and an automotive mechanic? You hope that they're trained and know their business.

right? Yeah, you do. Yeah, you do so. Why not it be you? Uh-huh. You can quote me on that too. Why not it be you? It's my new slogan. I mean, now I'm thinking about all these jobs that I had just to have money. I've delivered pianos and organs. I worked at a radio station at the same time. I worked all through all through school. I didn't know a time where we, I didn't have a job. And it was just so I had some cash. I wanted money. I wanted my money. And now, thankfully, I wish I was a kid now.

Because now the government just provides it. It's all good. This is the Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network. The Jeff Fisher Show is on. Welcome to it. 888-9033 is the phone number. Michael Pell. Puro Pelka coming up,

immediately following this broadcast. Although Mike is, I don't know what, he was on vacation. Is he off? Is he sick? I hadn't heard from him. I mean, I hope everything's okay. You know, so,

let me get, so he fills in for Buck Sexton. Let's see, that show is when, that show is when. Oh, I know, Monday through Friday, noon to three on the Blaze Radio Network. The Saturday show is when? The Saturday show is when?

Is it Monday through Friday, noon to three? No. No, Saturday is a separate day. Saturday is a separate day. From 8 to 10 Eastern, 8 to 10 Eastern, that's a completely different time. He takes his own show off just because he had to do a three-hour buck. Oh, my gosh.

Okay. That's kind of sad, actually. But I'll let it go because Charlie Herrery is filling in for him. And I like Charlie. I just met him here in Dallas. End of last week. Nice guy. does a podcast on the Blaze

on the Blaze Radio Network. Just go there. Blaze.com slash radio. Scroll around. We've got new podcasts coming and they're lining up now. We've got podcasts all rowed up on the Blaze Radio Network. So just

log in and check it out. But, I mean, I know that's an awful lot to ask, Mike, you know, to do Friday, noon to three and then be able to do another two hours on Saturday. I mean, it's almost an important.

possibility. I got it. And, you know, Charlie is going to do a fine job, and I'm happy that he gets an opportunity to do that. But, I mean, seriously, that's sad. I mean, do you need a, I don't know, be 12 shot? Maybe, I don't know, hit the low T center, check it out, see how you're doing. Make sure everything's okay. That's all. That's all I'm concerned about you.

I'm concerned about you. So Larry Ellison, self-made billionaire, co-founder of Oracle, four-time divorcee, seventh richest man in the world. They're calling it a joke. I call it, hey, bite me. Received an honorary doctorate from USC and gave the commencement speech. At one point, he discussed how at some point life is not about money. you think's

Larry at some point you can't spend it all trust me I've tried ah ha ha ha ha ha ha oh you kill me

you kill me yeah I mean listen I only you know I have I own an island I own this don't worry about it

you can't spend it all at some point you can try and try but you just can't I can't stop the money from coming in now. Makes me sick. Oh, wait a minute. He was joking.

Ha ha ha. Oh, that's funny, Larry. That's funny. Yeah, it's funny. Rich people joking about how much money they have. It makes me real funny. Oh, sad news, too. Speaking of richest people and companies.

Apple, no longer the richest company. A couple times already this year in the past year, they dropped out of first place. Stock price dropped a little bit. They're not the richest company. Apple is slipping, man. I mean, when you go from one to two and then back up to one and then back down to two a couple times,

you need to slip in big time, big time. And can we stop? with the Google alphabet thing. I mean, it's like, it was like when Prince changed his name to the symbol or whatever. It's like the artist formerly known as Prince with the symbols and everything. And sooner or later it's like Prince. Okay, we got it. You don't want to be the symbol, but you can't be the artist formerly known as Prince with the symbol thing forever.

And Google with your whole alphabet thing. Nobody's going to call you alphabet. Okay, you can call it whatever you want for the rest. Nobody is alphabet. The alphabet company formerly known as Google. is the richest company in the world. Stop. It's Google.

You can play your little games with your alphabet and all that stuff, but it's Google, okay? Can we stop with the little game thing because it drives me insane? The artist formerly known as Prince. The company, formerly known as Google, the parent company, now Alphabet. Stop it. And I know one of my producers in New York sent me a story about robots delivering stuff at parties, but we just saw a thing not long ago that the robots are started not really doing as well as they anticipated, so there's some programming issues with the delivery process using robots

as waiters and servers. But I am willing, I am willing to give them a try. So if you need a, you know, a prototype human to be delivered on with these robots, I'm here for you. I am here for you, robot people. No question about it. All right, Tim Ballard coming up on the other side of this slight go away from regular broadcast. Talk about his new movie coming out on Monday. This is the Jeff Fisher Show. Only on the Blaze Radio Network. Fisher.

Welcome to it. 888-90-333 is the phone number. You can follow me on Twitter at Jeff EMRA, Facebook, Jeff Fisher Radio, and Instagram at JeffEMRA. this coming Monday, the 16th, there's going to be a movie out called The Abolitionists. You need to go and see it. Joining me now, a man who, you know, it's not really a starring role, but it is a starring role in the movie. The abolitionist is Tim Ballard, who is in charge of Operation Underground Railroad, Our Rescue. I met Tim a few years ago, and I was blown.

away at the work that they do. And if you want to be able to see a movie that will, this is, I don't know if this is a good sell or not, but it will make you cry, laugh, feel sad, feel happy, cry, be angry, all in one movie. That's pretty much what will happen during the abolitionist. Tim Ballard, welcome to the broadcast. How are you, sir? Thanks so much, Jeffie.

We're having me on the show. I appreciate it. No problem. Listen, so the movie is Monday. do I have to do to go see it, and then we'll talk a little bit about what happens in the movie. Well, go to fathomevents.com. That's who's hosting this in about 600 different theaters nationwide, and you just put in your area code and they, they'll tell you what theaters are near your town.

So they're everywhere. It's a one-night event? That's right. The fathom is one night. And if enough people show up, of course, we hope. this the film, it's picked up all over the place. I hope so, too. Now, a little bit about the movie,

what you do and what your operation does is rescue children from different places around the world who are being traded as sex slaves, correct? That's right, yes. Go ahead. It's, it's, so my team, Operation Underground Railroad is made up of, Former law enforcement, we have former CIA, former Navy SEALs, foreign military. And what we do is we go in and we work with governments all around the world and show them how, give them the tools that they need and we go along with them as they infiltrate the black markets that sell children.

And in the film, you're going to see our first two operations in Haiti and in Colombia where we do just that. and how many okay so how many of these operations do you do a year is there any specific amount or is it just as needed you know it's every year just keeps growing uh the more funding that we get the more we do we we're not even able to keep up with the demand uh we're being invited all over the place but we have been in 12 countries we've we've been able to conduct about 20 operations a year which, you know, yields about, you know, from 10 to 30 children in each operation. So it's been quite a, you know, and we continue to grow.

I mean, we're in, like I said, we're in 12 countries. I have teams out right now, three different teams as we speak, sitting up and doing operations. You are amazing. The first time that we met and I heard and saw what you guys were. doing and I mean it's like I I can't I want to help I remember telling you I'll I'll go I'll do whatever you need me to do I'll just go and I then the more I I hear and see and listen I don't know that I can I could do it I might just want to have to end someone's life immediately I don't know that I could ever get to the end you know what I mean I don't think I could

get through the process of getting to the end to actually put these people away and what they're doing legally. It's hard. I mean, you're sitting across face-to-face with these guys who are selling kids, and they're selling these kids to you as if, you know, they're talking to you

like they're selling a bicycle or a computer part. Like, it's a total commodity, and it's absolutely just punches you in the gut. And yet you've got to smile at them, and that's like they're your friend in it, you get this, and you want this. It's tough.

Boy, no kidding. Okay, so how do you, did you get started on this? I mean, what did you just one day say, you know what? This is something I need to do. I spent 12 years as a special agent in the government doing these cases, almost exclusively working child crimes, child trafficking cases. And mid-2000, the laws changed in the United States and allowed for agents, kind of open the doors for agents to go work overseas. And that's what my eyes were really open. I mean, I've heard the statistics. you know, two million children

for it in the Cleveland section. But when I was, when I actually got into the situations and went in undercover, I couldn't believe how blatant it was. I mean, just in your face, children, 10 years old, 11 years old, younger, sold on the beach,

on the street corners. And I, unless there was a U.S. nexus, in other words, unless there was an American involved in the case, it wasn't, it wasn't big business of the United States

for the most part. And so it was hard to get a lot of resources And that's where I decided, you know, if I was private, we could move quickly. We could, we wouldn't have jurisdictional limitations and we could just go in. You know, we could be in Thailand on Monday and Mexico on Wednesday and back in the States on Friday. And so that's what we've been able to do. And that's why I left to create the operation under railroad.

It is amazing. Are those numbers, you say two million kids, are those numbers, is that number low? Oh, that's conservative, I think, absolutely. Yeah. Okay, so in the movie, tell us a little bit about the movie, what we're going to experience in the film on Monday. Well, the producer of the film is Jerry Mullen. He's the Oscar winner of Schindler's List.

He did Jurassic Park. So I was extremely humbled when he came to me and told me he wanted to make this film. And the idea he had was kind of crazy. I didn't know if it's going to work because what he wanted to do was put cameras on the ground. And so you actually are watching this real live. You know, it's a documentary. Right. It's not a reenactment.

It's not a reenactment. Right. It's not a reenact. I thought that's what he wanted to do when he first brought to my attention. But he said, no, no, no. Let's put my camera guys undercover with your team. And when he's undercover cameras, I thought people, accuse us of actually falsifying footage

only because it's so good because these camera members are so brave and they went right undercover with us. So you're in the middle of this scene. I mean, you're two feet away from traffickers selling kids and you forget you're watching a documentary because

you're right there. I mean, it's amazing and it plays more like an action thriller, I think, than a documentary because you're actually just watching this happen as it's happening. It, so, all right, a couple of things. First, Monday night, go to fathomeevents.com and find out where the abolitionists are playing in your area and go and see it.

Well worth, well worth your time, effort and money. I mean, my, the first time that my daughter even heard a little bit about this and she's only eight, she's putting quarters in an envelope and telling me help them. So how do we help when we can? Well, if you go to our website, which is o-U-R-rescue.org, you can learn all about us, what we do, who we are. We're extremely transparent charity. We are a charity, though.

So all of our operations are conducted through the charity and contributions of people who want to give. We're a 501c3 organization. and so yeah it's o-U-R-rescue.org and come learn about us. The good thing about us is, like I said, we're so transparent because they have cameras like us around everywhere we go. So you know what we do. It's right there for you to see. So we encourage people to come check us out.

Now you, for many years or for however long you said you started and you went undercover yourself, are you undercover any more at all? I mean, your face is pretty out there now. Yeah, I've had to give up that role. Are you okay with that? It's bittersweet. You know, sometimes I feel like I never want to do this again because it's hard to do it. Right.

But at the same time, it's a bittersweet thing, you know, because when you're in there, when you're in there, you get to pull off the rescue and begin to pull the kids out, then, of course, there's nothing better on earth to experience. But so it's bittersweet, but I know that I have to give it up just simply because. my face is out there and I've been able to recruit guys who do it better than I do anyway, so we're just moving along and I kind of, my role was kind of shifted. The kids, the children, when you rescue them, does the movie talk about what happens after at all? Yes, it does. I mean, this is so important because, I mean, there is no rescue without the healing.

And so we won't even, we will not even go into a country to operate unless we have a partnership that we trust with a vetted organization that we know has all the tools that a child would need to really be raised into adulthood if necessary because often, way too often the families, there is no family to go back to or the family is part of the problem. And so we, I mean, there's been times when we've had to wait up to a year to operate, even after given, after an invitation. comes in from the country, we will not go in until we know that piece is in place. And the film shows that right on the heels of the arrest, our partners are in there, hugging these kids, identifying them and telling them it's going to be okay and getting them to safety into a place where they could heal. I mean, the healing process has got, if ever, I don't know that, I mean, I guess we all hope and pray that they do heal and it doesn't affect them.

it has to, right? I mean, it almost, you're not, you're not going to get away from that forever. It is a long and difficult process. I mean, you know, these, they brainwash these kids and they think that they're some kind of commodity. To undo that, you know, takes a lot of, you know, professional care and insurance. Right. Okay, so you've done this for a number of years now. How, have you gone back and visited?

or at least met with or got reports on the first rounds of people that you've rescued, the kids that you've rescued? Absolutely. In fact, in the movie, the opening scenes is exactly a scene of that where we're going back and we're visiting the kids that we had rescued earlier and to see how they're doing. And we continue to do that to this day. We have a whole, we have a director of aftercare whose job it is. is to do that. She goes in with a team and coordinates with our partners, make sure they're vetted,

and then she takes the teams back to make sure that everybody is still doing well, what do they need. And the same can be said for the bad guys. I mean, we follow up to make sure they stay in jail. There's a scene in the film towards the end where we've done a couple operations in Columbia, and then we go back to Columbia, and we are talking to street vendors who otherwise would be the ones who would introduce us to traffickers, and nobody in Cartagena in the areas that we operated in, nobody would sell us kids.

And they all referenced the media about the Americans who kept getting arrested for coming down. And we recognized in that moment that, you know, we cut it down. It's working. And there's kids that we've been able to rescue who never knew they needed to be rescued

because they were never trafficked in the first place. And those are the kids we love to rescue. And that's our goal is to shut it. down and to prevent it. That is fantastic. Tim, you are a modern-day hero. I'm telling you, the work that you do is unbelievable. All right, so the movie Monday, the abolitionists, you can go to Operation Underground,

Our Rescue.org, and check it out. There's a link there to check out where the movie is in your area, or you can go to the abolitionist movie.com and get the information there as well. Fathom events has it up as well. Monday night, don't miss it. Tim, thank you very much. It's good to talk to you. I look forward to seeing you soon.

You too. Wow. I don't know if you have seen any previews or footage or video of what these guys do, but I'm telling you the first time. I said it a little bit when we first started talking to Tim. When I first saw and heard what these guys are doing, I want to help. I want to help. And then you see what they have to go through.

And it isn't an act. You know, it isn't a movie where you're playing a bad guy. But you have to be a bad guy to rescue these kids. It's unbelievable. And he, seriously, he is a modern-day hero. This is the Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network. This is the Jeff Fisher Show. That it is.

At Jeff EMRA on Twitter. At Jeff Fisher Radio on Facebook. At Jeff EMRA on Instagram. Pure O'Pelke, Michael Pelka, coming up immediately following this broadcast. Charlie Harari, fill it in for him. Remember he's, I don't know this for sure, but I heard he's going to be giving away Michael Pelcom masks. I think they're just, you know, the face mass that you hold on a stick, so you hold them up and you pretend you're him.

Why, in God's name, anyone would want to do that? I don't know, but that's what he's given away. Good news, too, how ordering pizza can save your life. Yes, ordering pizza can save your life.
