(01:11):
or fake news? Pop star Benson Boone arrested for urinating
on seven hundred dollars worth of clothing. Why pop star
Benson Boone arrested for urinating on seven hundred dollars worth
of clothing.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Here's the story.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Pop sensation Benson Boone was arrested late Saturday night after
allegedly urinating on more than seven hundred dollars worth of
high end clothing inside a luxury boutique in West Hollywood,
authorities confirm. According to police reports, Boone entered La Maude Elegante,
a designer clothing store, around eleven forty five pm after
(01:44):
his concert in nearby Santa Monica ended. Witnesses say he
appeared intoxicated and reportedly attempted to try on several jackets
before relieving himself on a display of silk and cashmere coats.
He was quoted as saying, listen to my new song
Magical pistacle a which, of course's take on his.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Song Magical Mystical. Is that a real news story or
a fake news story?
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Nina, I really feel like I don't want to believe
this because he doesn't give me those vibes, but I'm
gonna go with real, because you're not a real rock
star until you pee on something.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
What a very good point.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
A very good point, Victoria, that pop star Benson Boone
arrested for urinating on seven hundred dollars worth of clothing,
real or fake news story?
Speaker 1 (02:29):
I'm gonna go with fake.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
You're going with I don't think Benson Boon like his
team around him, seems like they're too bast to grab
him out of there, like that would not happen.
Speaker 6 (02:37):
This is a fake news story, yeah, but also based
on sort of a fact which part the peeing on
clothing part.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Oh, so it's real, but it wasn't Benson Boone. People
made this fake news story after a cameraman touring with
the pop star Benson Boone got arrested in Florida after
walking into a store drunk and pin on seven hundred
dollars worth of clothing.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
Well in Florida, Okay, so just trying to fit.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
In and I actually believe that it was Benson Boone
that did it and not the cameraman.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Benson gives me.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
Like I'm a nice guy vibes. Yeah, but also everybody
gets to that point. Every nice guy, nice girl gets
to that point. Remember Ariana licking donuts justin bieber pan
and buckets. It's probable Benson Boone would pe on cloth.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Yeah, yeah, exactly. Once you hit a certain level of fame,
you pee on something. Yeah, you know you have to.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
I mean you has I know, I know that means
you a rock star.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Yes, being on things makes you a rock star. Then
I'm probably the biggest rock star on the planet. Oh,
here's another headline for real news or fake news. The
segment where I give you a news story that's gone
viral this week and you have to tell me if
it's a real one or a fake one that people
actually believed. FBI manhunt continues for Humpty Dumpty. What FBI
(03:57):
manhunt continues for Humpty Dumpty.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Here's the story.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
What began as a drunken act of vandalism may now
be classified as a federal crime after the iconic Humpty
Dumpty statue was stolen from the Ocean Putt Miniature golf Course.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
No in Delaware.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Humpty Dumpty was taken across state lines, which now makes
it an FBI case. Authorities say the suspects originally captured
on Graindy security footage. We're scaling the fence at the
miniature golf place at four thirteen am with open beer
cans in hands and may have unwittingly escalated their crime
from petty theft to interstate transport of stolen cultural property.
(04:41):
It's just a federal offense, and the FBI has issued
a manhunt for the people who stole Humpty Dumpty. Here's
a quote from somebody on the FBI. He said, the
moment they drove over the state line with that egg,
everything changed, said Special Agent Marcus Rail of the FBI's
Art Crime Team. This case wide open, punt intended.
Speaker 5 (05:03):
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. Humpty Dumpy needs to
be found.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
This all is a real news story or a fake
news story. The FBI man hunt for Humpty Dumpty continues.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
I mean, I gotta go with fake because I would
love to believe. I have to believe that our FBI
has more important things to do right now than to
chase after.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
An eggy special egg. Like it's the Art Crime Team,
the FBI Art Crime Team. He's just a fake omelet victor.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
That's okay, FBI man hunt for Humpty Dumpty continues. Real
or fake Real you're saying real by Humpty Dumpty. That's
a national monument. Did you even know it existed, Humpty Dumpty? Yes,
everyone knows he bell And this time you just haven't
gotten back up figure.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Out the book. Did you know that there was a
statue of in Delaware? I do not anymore? At a
miniature golf course too. You have all places like, we
know what that's like.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
This is a real news story. Yes, I'm fine.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Humpty Dumpty and the people who stole them from the
miniature golf course and it's now a federal case because
they crossed state lines.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
I guess there's nothing else going on in Delaware, so
they need to have like this is like their home base,
so he must be the.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Center of their world. Yeah, this must be a big
deal to them. Yeah, Okay, my bad. I shouldn't have
doubted you.
Speaker 2 (06:14):

real one or a fake one that went viral and
people actually believed it. Here's your next headline for real
news or fake news. Spirit Airlines pilots scolded for ignoring
air traffic control because he was about to beat his
high score on popular iPad game Fruit Slice Hero AOA.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Here's the story.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
A Spirit Airlines pilot was scolded by air traffic control
after not immediately responding to a controller's instructions. As Air
Force one, the President's airplane flew about eight miles away.
The two aircraft were flying parallel over Long Island. Air
Force one was flying President Donald Trump to the United
Kingdom and Spiritflight thirteen hundred was flying passengers from Fort
(07:02):
Lauderdale to Boston. The air traffic controller is heard saying
Spirit thirteen hundred turned twenty degrees right and no response.
After five seconds of no response, the controller did it again,
ended it again, ended it again, and the pilot finally
admitted that the reason that he ignored air traffic control
(07:23):
was because he was trying to beat his high score
on the popular iPad game.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
For a Slice zero.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Eventually, he did hear the air traffic controller and he
was able to get the flight diverted.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
He is that a real new story or fake news? First?
Speaker 4 (07:35):
I want to say I love Delaware I felt really
bad for what I just said. The other thing is
that I'm gonna go with fake again because aren't these
stories scaring me today?

Like don't you feel it? It is Spirit Airlines. Spirit
decided they had a captain in the cockpit, you know,
and it wasn't just somebody. They're like, hey, you can
also fly the plane for one hundred extra bucks. I'd
be like, heck, yeah, thank you very much.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
I just thought pilots took their job so seriously, you know,
they walk around so serious in the airports.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
I just thought it was like, no, I'm going fake, Okay,
