Speaker 1 (00:39):
Eighth on Fred's Biggest Stories of the Day.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
So, Jason, maybe this is what happened the other day
with the incident that we don't have to talk about anymore.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
Okay, but the FDA is warning.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
Customers off of certain raw frozen shrimp products sold at
Walmart for fear of radioactive chemical contamination.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
Uh, we don't want that.

Speaker 3 (00:57):
No, were you active, yes, contamination, shrimp from.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
Radio chemical contamination. That's why I go for all my shrimp.
I don't know if you guys know this. The fishmonger
at Walmart is just top dotch. It's unbelievable. His name
is Bruce. He knows exactly what he's doing. So is
a listening issue this monk. Let me read the sentence again, guys,

(01:22):
we gotta listen. Okay, there's raw at Walmart, but but
it's not it's raw frozen shrimp.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
That don't make no sense. I don't know what that is.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
I don't know what. I'm just reading to you. What
it says. Okay, the Food and Drug.

Speaker 4 (01:36):
Administration you have to cook it still, but it's frozen.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
So that right, exactly right. It's uncooked but frozen.

Speaker 4 (01:43):
Yeah, so you can just take it out and thought
when you want to make it, okay, yeah, and then
cook it.

Speaker 3 (01:47):
I did not eat any raw frozen shrimp, so I
don't think that was my issue. No one should cook it, well, Bruce.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
Had Walmart would never sell me that. It would never
sell me this product. Only the freshest, the freshest ever.
A notice issue Tuesday says some products sold under Walmart's
Great Value Brander at Risk and the shipping containers at
for US Sports tested positive for cellum one seven, which
is a radioactive isotope. Naturally, according to ABC News, the

(02:13):
agency said that no shrimp that tested positive for this
celsium one thirty seven has entered the food supply in
the US, So don't be careful with your raw frozen
shrimp products from Walmart.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
Please.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
It's funny because you love waiting by the phone in
a little bit. This is it was almost prophetic, but
a biotech company in collaboration with another company is developing
a pet friendly weight loss implant called okav one nineteen,
inspired by GLP one ozempic for dogs.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
Oh we're doing it. Whoa, we're doing We don't need
to do it. We don't, we don't need to do it.
Take them outside exactly.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
This implant, roughly the size of a microchip, delivers meds
to reduce appetite and promote weight loss in dogs and
cats over a six month period. Well cat, my sister's
got kind of a fat cat, but he's also a
main coon. He's like a forty pound cat. Like he's
just a big boy.

Speaker 4 (03:09):
Yeah, I was gonna just say there are some big
boy cats that I think is fine.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
Early trousing cats have shown promising results, with some losing
at least five percent of their body weight.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
What's next, Like a BBL for your dog? Like, what
are we doing?

Speaker 3 (03:20):
Don't do it within plants.

Speaker 4 (03:21):
They don't even have lips.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
The device aims to mimic the effects of fasting without
requiring significant dietary changes. If successful, OKV one nineteen could
be available by twenty twenty eight or twenty nine, offering
a potential solution to the growing issue of pedobesity, which
affects about sixty percent of dogs and cats in the US.
Or to Kinglin's point, Doctor Kinglin, you could just take

(03:43):
your dog for a walk, or feed them different food
or something, or not give them so many treats. Guys
mean to your I know you think you're being an
ice when you give them a little cookies or whatever,
But it's mean if they get fat, and it's bad
for their bones and their joints, and if you especially
have a big dog and their little hearts and the
whole thing. So come on, we got to moderate for
the dogs.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
Yeah, we had to stop.

Speaker 4 (04:03):
Recently, ours was ten pounds of weight, shoot a little
big when we went to the event, so we get
to stop.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
I see, And did they wre bex sensitive about how
they said it, because you know she could hear it.

Speaker 4 (04:13):
They were very sensitive and like we were already worried.
You can tell by her harness, like if she's getting
a little thick. But she looks so nice. She waits
for the human food's so nice, like she's polite. She
doesn't make a noise, she just sits there as if
she deserves it.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
Well she does. Yeah, but you know, sometimes we have
to moderation. Everything in moderation, they said, her joints.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
You see, this is what I'm worried about people, Okay,
so of course this is I don't know if this
is illegal where you are, and you know people are
into the THHD and to the marijuana. Of course, if
it's legal where you are. If it's not legal where
you are, you should not be doing it under no circumstances,
and you should be within legal age and all the
other things. Well, for sure, absolutely, like you should be
a grown adult in a state where it is legal.

(04:54):
And I recognize it. We're heart in many places. And
so if it's not for you it's not for you,
but I think that that's sort of like commonplace. Now
the new hotness seems to be microdosing mushrooms, which apparently
is legal some place, or legal in Oregon or something.

Speaker 4 (05:08):
There are loopholes. It's legal in ann Arbor, Michigan. Yeah, Oregon.
I think there's obviously guidelines, but.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
Okay, so this is the new hotness apparently if it's
legal and year of age and you're consenting, that's my
legal statement of the day. But people who are microdosing mushrooms,
taking tiny amounts to try to boost mood or focus,
are now calling poison control centers and ers at excessive
race apparently well because they apparently don't they don't know,
like what is happening to them.

Speaker 4 (05:37):
Yeah, well, micro dosing you shouldn't really feel, but that's.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
Inting you shouldn't. But it reminds me of this classic.

Speaker 5 (05:42):
A councilman from Dearborn, Michigan's is outraged over a nine
to one one call. He wants to know why no
charges have been filed against a police officer who admits
to confiscating marijuana from suspects and then baking it in brownies.
Once he and his wife were.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
Full and high.

Speaker 5 (05:58):
They thought they'd overdosed and called nine.

Speaker 6 (06:00):
Yeah, I think I'm having an overdose that my wife
for what marijuana?

Speaker 3 (06:06):
I don't know if they had something in it? Did
I have fever anything? No, I'm good. I think we're dying.

Speaker 1 (06:14):
How much could you I have?

Speaker 3 (06:15):
I don't know. We made brownie and I think we're dead.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
Time is going by, really really really really clow.

Speaker 5 (06:24):
Well instead of being charged pro sorry, instead of.

Speaker 1 (06:28):
Being charged, it was the anchor that snorted.

Speaker 4 (06:32):
This is why it's good it's regulated though, because people
used to bake it on their own and like not
know how much was in it.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
You know, it's giving that situation right there.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
Yeah. What Poison control centers and ers are seeing more
calls and visits because some mushroom products aren't clearly labeled
and can have hidden ingredients. This can cause serious problems
like Caesar's hallucination, stomach gets useder agitation experts one that
it's risky to use these products that know exactly what
is in them.

Speaker 7 (06:56):
This is why don't drugs m hmm good for you?
This This is what happened to me the first time
I tried oh done the gunch. Yeah, I thought I
was dying. I told my friend to call the ambulance.
We were about to tell on the weed man. Think
that was Heroin, No, No it was No, it was
the Devil's Lettuce.

Speaker 4 (07:13):
Told me that her friend she asked her friend to
watch her while she sleeps, and they would take turns
watching each other while they slept.

Speaker 3 (07:19):
But then she woke up and her friend.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
Was asleep, and she was upset for real.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
The wacky Tobaki. Yes, the left handed cigarette Chldred, don't
do it. Shout out to Michigan City. I think they
can hear us in Michigan City. But which is an
actually place. I'm not talking about the city in Michigan City.
If he didn't know, if you're not from around here,
if you're not from around these parts. Michigan City area
schools in Indiana were forced to have an e learning
day yesterday after someone stole all the catalytic converters from

(07:46):
twenty of their school buses. It was only the fifth
day that school had been back in session. The school
district said that they aren't sure if classes will be
effective for the rest of the week. CLICI are looking
into the incident, so they stole all of the ability
for all of the buses to drive like this, this
is crazy shelling from you'll stealing catalytic converters.

Speaker 4 (08:06):
I think, yes, yeah, yeah, my little app by my
little citizen app.

Speaker 3 (08:10):
It's like, oh, another one stolen. I'm like, what are
you doing with these? Like where do they go?

Speaker 6 (08:14):
What kind of sidehouse are you ring big money? Because
like mechanic shops are getting hit.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
Mechanic mic maybe call later and explain what a catalytic
I don't even know what a catalytic converter does.

Speaker 6 (08:23):
Why wouldn't we There's copper in its copper in it,
which was which was oh my gosh, I can't speak.
It makes it expensive because copper is expend like you
can get a lot of money for copper right now.
It's something to do with like the emission, so like
filtering it or something along those lines.

Speaker 3 (08:38):
So when the emission system.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
Like that sounds pretty convincing. You sleep next to a mechanic,
which makes you a mechanic.

Speaker 3 (08:43):
Yeah you know, I also did my time at pet boys.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
So you just for an old time. It won't be
one more time, but just for old time sake. When
you answered the phone, when you work to pet boys.
Good morning, Thank you for trusting the boys. This is
Jason speaking. Would you like to hear about our Mitchell
entire special today? And I'll have you know this if
your new listener. Jason was the number one initial entire
salesperson in the entire Midwest.

Speaker 7 (09:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
Yeah, what did you get for that at trop Do you
still have it?

Speaker 3 (09:09):
My mom does.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
That is absolutely something that my mom would hang on
to as well. Yeah, and display it in the house somewhere.

Speaker 3 (09:17):
Well somewhere. It's only trophy I ever got.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
In our home in Arizona, our childhood home there is
fully professionally framed like the art that I did in
fourth grade or something like on the wall like it's
supposed to be, like like it's a Van Goh or something.
I mean, she took that thing there, ed to Michaels
or whatever and put the glass and had it framed.
She didn't go buy a pre made frame. No, we
had it Maden and everything. And you walk through it,

(09:41):
it's like it's like me scribbled, I scribbled on a
piece of paper and she's and now it's But I
will say this when my niece does art and and
my sister will share some of it with me and
send it to me. I think it's the greatest thing
I've ever seen. So I will tell you like, I'm
becoming that person.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
I'll be. I don't know. I think she's got an eye.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
She took a cry and like you know, with her
offhand upside down and just scribbled.

Speaker 3 (10:04):
She does though she's smart.

Speaker 2 (10:05):
Well I'm looking I you know, I'm becoming that guy too.
Pauline is in here going. I think I think Gigi
is mensa. And you know now the day I talked
to my sister, and my sister was like, you know,
we just had Palie's like you tested, and she is
all the charts again. Never really had anybody be like
you know, we had our kids like you tested.

Speaker 1 (10:23):
Not real good. You know, no one's ever said that.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
And on Iowa, man was sentenced to four months in
prison on wire fraud conviction after his company credit card
was used to buy one hundred and forty thousand dollars
worth of Pokemon cards and different gaming items. The guy
tried to hide the crime by submitting the false receipts
on his purchases as legit business expenses. I need to
use your corporate credit card. More often you're the only

(10:48):
one they trust to have one.

Speaker 3 (10:49):
Yeah, and I have to share it with other people.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
So after he's released from prison, he may be a
supervised release. He has one hundred and forty thousand dollars
worth of Pokemon cards. She's a bunch of videos on
TikTok about this guys who they they go to the
Walmart every day for the reestock and the targets, and
they see if they you know, they see what's in there,
and they're buying all the they're buying all of them.
They're going there buy all the Pokemon cards that they're

(11:11):
grown up money because they think they can make money
doing him and a Texas woman who is a quadruplet
following following me know gave birth to quintuplets two months ago.
The new mom said having multiple children at once is
normal to her because she always had a sibling around
growing up. Even though she was having five kids, she
said she didn't have any swelling, nausea, or cravings. She said,

(11:34):
outstead of having some different issues during her first trimester,
her pregnancy went great overall. The mom also share that
she had the children at twenty eight weeks and three
of the siblings have come home from the nickew. She
said they're all growing and doing well even though they
were born early. So she is a quadruplet and now
she had quintuplets. This sounds like some Elon Musk kind

(11:54):
of stuff going on here, like we're just proliferating at
mass quantities.

Speaker 3 (11:58):
Yes, that's four and then five, right, right, she was
one of four.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
And then she had five. Sinkle, I'm speaking your native tongue.
I'm sorry, i speaking of your native tongue.
