Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Fred Show is on Fred's Biggest Stories of the Day.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
All right, So more crazy weather across the country. Tornadoes
hit Texas and Oklahoma. Marty Gras has been disrupted in
New Orleans as a stormfront pushes east. I know somebody
who went to Marti Gras this week, and yeah, that's
what they're doing. It's like it's like a gale force
winds on for Marti Gras, which I don't know how
much fun that would be.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
No, I don't think I would like it.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
But almost half a million customers were left without power
last night as a line of severe weather swept across Texas, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Louisiana,
and Alabama, with tornadoes reported to have touchdown in Texas, Oklahoma,
and Mississippi. Some tornado warnings were issued in other states,
they weren't. There weren't any confirmed tornado touchdowns. Despite that,
(00:47):
wind gus were reported in several states sixty miles an
hour higher over one hundred and forty reports of severe
thunderstorm winds, damage, or reports of tornadoes that were received
by the National Weather Service. Win gus is hired eighty
seven miles an hour in Oklahoma, an eighty three mile
an hour went in Texas. The storms are bringing severe
weather to the East Coast today, so crazy weather all
(01:08):
over the place. Jason told me about this this morning
because he's our sports reporter, fully briefed on this. But
Lebron James became the first player in NBA history to
score fifty thousand combined ports points rather in the regular
season and postseason.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
This all happened last night.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
James passed the mark with a three pointer early in
the first quarter of the Lakers game against the Pelicans.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Of Pelicans of Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh has so many teams according to.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
You, Yeah on the water that's there where the Pelicans
fly over, you know, and see in.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Pittsburgh all the water in Pittsburgh, there's a river.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
It's a beach town. In case you didn't know.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
Oh boy, okay, family, So Lebron James.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
The forty year old James already is the top scorer
in NBA history in both the regular season and the playoffs.
Imagine this, and we've got some some Disney loving folks
on the show. I know Paulina is one but and
Pauline is also a mother. But a couple left behind
a baby in a blanket covered stroller at Disney so
they could ride a ride.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Oh my god, that wasn't me.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Just no, no, no, god, let's be clear. That was
not Paulina. But you like Disney, I do. Can you
imagine You're like, oh my god, we're at the front
of the line. What are we gonna do? We got
to ride this ride, We got this infant. We didn't
think about this ahead of time. Somehow we're just gonna
leave him right here by the exit and cover the
stroller with a blanket and go on the ride back
(02:35):
in two minutes. What possibly could happen?
Speaker 1 (02:37):
I think? And this is the hot take.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Some people shouldn't procreate, And this is exactly why I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
That's how I feel.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
I don't think you should apologize. I think that's I
think it's very profound.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
You think you And the thing is too It's like,
I wouldn't even leave my kid. And this is another
hot take, leave my kid in the car when I
go to the gas station, Like I'm not leaving my
kid nowhere, And you think it's a good idea.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
In an amusement park.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
The stroller was covered in a spy man blanket and
then the stroller begins to move this TikTok video. In
the comment section, the person who posted the video explains
that once she and her family noticed that the blanket
was moving, they reported it's nearby cast members who immediately
went to the aid of the child. Viewers were shocked
that a parent and caregiver would consider leaving a child
(03:18):
alone at Disney. They haven't publicly addressed the video, and
it's unclear what happened next.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
I bet you didn't leave her personal you know what
I mean? No, Like, that's crazy. After that point, that's
a really good point.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
They didn't leave their their wallet, they didn't leave their watch,
But just a child.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
That's great, that's crazy. I know. I agree with you.
Some people probably don't need to have kids.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
That's why I'm proud when people are like, I don't
want kids, I shouldn't have kids, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
I know if you say something like that, you truly know,
Like that's a responsibility that I don't want and that.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Is okay, love that you know that.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Yeah, But here's the sad part. There's a lot of
people I know who don't want kids would be great parents.
They're actually not. These idiots Jason, you would be a
great parent. Honestly, I probably not something you say about yourself.
I would be a great dad. I don't want kids,
but not because I want to ride rides at Disney
and the damn kid gets in the way. You know,
I hate it when that happens. I'm trying to go
(04:14):
to the bar right now and this kid keeps crying.
This is terrible, unbelievable. I'm gonna go on vacation, but
I'll be right back in a week, so everything will
be fine. I feel the same way about pet owners.
By the way, there are a lot of people out
there that don't I get it. Don't text up here. Well,
I have every right to do. Yeah, you do, but
you shouldn't. You know, some people don't need a dog,
(04:37):
some people don't need a cat or a pet, and
some people don't need to have a child. And it's okay,
but you know, if you're the kind of person that
would leave your dog for a week with a big
bowl of food and say it'll be fine, or if
you're the kind of person that leaves your child at
the bottom of the ride so you can go ride,
you probably didn't need it.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
That's the end of my PSA for today. I know
that Kandlo was trying to get a hold of this,
and I have terrible news for Uklin. But the Pokemon
Pokemon shaped flaming hot Cheeto cheetozard was sold in an auction.
It does kind of look like a like a Pokemon character,
but it's seed like a little plexiglass box. Eighty eight
(05:16):
thousand dollars is what it went for. I know that
your max bet was it or max bid was a
eighty five thousand, so you must be sad that you
didn't get it.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
This is how you tell me I lost the auction.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Yes, I went to sleep and I put my bid in.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
No I know, and you had whatever it is, your
eBay max whatever it is, at eighty five thousand, and
I know you thought that was going to get it done.
But it turns out this it's literally a hot Cheeto
that Paulina would have eaten in two seconds if she'd
seen it.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
I hate to see her coming.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
It's a Pokemon shaped flaming hot cheeto eighty eight thousand dollars.
They're calling a cheetosard three inch long, red hot puffy
snack that which is sometimes what they call me that
somewhat resembles the fire breathing Pokemon monster Charzard.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Oh yeah, Charzar.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
I'm surprised you didn't laugh at the that they call
me a red hot, puffy snack. But anyway, I thought
that was I thought that was worse something. But anyway,
Charisard is among the original and most popular Pokemon in
the franchise's long running game and TV series. The aging
piece of processed corn meal, which, when you say it
like that, I don't really want to eat a cheetoh anymore.
(06:24):
The aging piece of processed corn meal aka a cheeto
comes attached to a custom Pokemon card and is locked
up inside a clear storage box, likely to keep charz
Ard or Cheetos art in this case, from disintegrating in
the elements. Bidding started at two hundred and seventy five dollars,
but is skyrocketed the winning bid of seventy two gram
(06:45):
plus the premium. So eighty seven thousand dollars is how
much this thing costs.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Cheeze and in.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Health news today, because you know, we do a lot
of health news around here, and we did a similar
story a few weeks ago. But I think they've changed
the parameters. Experts at the Male Clinic said that push
ups are a good measurement of muscular strength and endurance.
The exercising gauges most major muscle groups throughout the entire body, legs, abs, shoulders, back,
at arms, and based on age and gender. The Male
(07:13):
Quinic gave a target number for push up counts beginning
with twenty five year old men and women. So men
should set a goal to be able to do twenty
eight push ups at one time, and women should work
towards twenty to show a good fitness level. So for
most of us in the room, somewhere between twenty and
twenty eight would be a good indicator of your physical
(07:37):
health if you could do it. Do you think you
guys could do? The ladies in the room, could you
do twenty push ups? And the other thing I learned
from Gideon A body by Gideon, my personal trainer, who's
a perfect specimen of a human. I haven't been doing
push ups right my whole life. I've been doing like
easy pushups, but if you do proper form, they are
so much harder. And I assume this is talking about
(07:57):
proper form, But if you do them the way you're
supposed to with your back in the right position and
like your arms whatever. They are so much harder than
the way that I was doing them. But do you
think you could do twenty push ups?
Speaker 1 (08:08):
No? No, absolutely no no. I have no upper strength
like I have none. I can't even do a pull up.
And it's different. I can't pull myself up. I can't
push myself. I can't do nothing. That's right.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
I could do twenty push ups. I can't do twenty
pull ups, though. I don't think I could do five
pull ups. I don't know why. I just have never
been able to do that.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Yeah, my husband has like that thing where like you
put yourself up.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
I hang there, I need get down.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
I can't.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Well, your husband's a firefighter and so God bless him.
But you know, yeah, very different lord anyway, So way
to feel out of shape today. Everyone, It's ash Wednesday,
National absinthe Day, National cheese doodle Day.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
The hell's a cheese doodle.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
Like those those snacks, Like it'd be a hot cheeto,
a regular cheeto, but it's all encompassing, it's all of
the doodles.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
So it's National aging corn meal Day, that is what
it is. Yeah, process to aging cornmeal, National Slam the
Scam Day, which aims to help the public to combat
social security related scams. It's also National Dentists Today Today
as well, so it's very exciting. The Entertainment Report Caitlin
has that next we'll get to blogs, audio journals.
