Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:02):
Breaking news right here on the Jewble Show, a California
highway patrol dog detected two million dollars worth of cocaine
at a stop recently. Woh, it's the first time that
much cocaine has been sniffed in California since Charlie Sheen
was making him.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
On the show.

Speaker 1 (00:18):
And it's signed for Real News or Fake News? The
segment where I read a news story from the week
that's gone viral and you have to tell me if
it's a real news story or a fake one that
people actually believed. Here's your first headline for real news
or fake news. Companies begin serving targeted ads directly to
your door in a bold news step toward maximum personalization.

(00:41):
Several major tech companies announced a revolutionary advertising model this week,
sending actual human beings to wherever you are to deliver
ads in person. After years of tracking history, location data,
shopping habits, et cetera, companies are now planning to serve
ads with laser percons decision. The new system uses data

(01:02):
to dispatch brand ambassadors to places that you frequently visit.
So if you spend time in the snack out at
the grocery store, a random stranger may approach you holding
a family sized bag of chips and begin listing the
limited time offers. If you pause too long looking at vitamins,
all of a sudden, representative will materialize beside you and
begin describing probiotic benefits. Some companies are even having doorstep

(01:25):
delivery ads, where trained marketers knock on your door to
read sponsorship content directly to you for a long time, right,
instead of just being the ads that are served on
your phone that are creepy. Right now, you'll just be
out and someone will be like, those oreos look delicious
and did you know they're on sale today?

Speaker 2 (01:43):
Right?

Speaker 3 (01:44):
Mean, well, I'm thinking about the Gucci model that could
be showing up in my door, and I'm like, okay,
we might like.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
This is a bunch of Victoria algorithm real or fake
news story?

Speaker 3 (01:56):
I do.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
It. I'm going to go with fake fake.

Speaker 3 (02:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
I just feel like you can't do that.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
Victoria is a real new story or a fake news story?

Speaker 3 (02:09):
Yeah, I say, like you're looking at me, Okay, I
mean I could see this happening.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
The way that they target ads now was crazy. It's
all about marketing anyway. Producer Freeze, is this a real
new story or a fake news story, companies begin serving
targeted ads directly to your door or wherever you're at.

Speaker 4 (02:28):
I think it's real because it's like the antithesis of
everything being AI and impersonal.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
That's a good point.

Speaker 4 (02:35):
Companies are probably like, we need to get you know,
personable human interactions behind this product.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
Yeah, well it is a fake news story. People did
believe it.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
It was shared over twenty million times with people actually
planning protests and writing to Congress about privacy issues. Honestly,
I could definitely see companies doing that. It's real news
or fake news segment where I read a news headline
from the weeks that's gone viral and you to see
if you can figure out if it's a real news
story or a fake one that people actually believed. Here's

(03:06):
the next headline for real news or fake news. Scientists
say that just thinking about working out can actually.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
Make you more fit. Are you serious? Where's the surprising claim?

Speaker 1 (03:17):
A study suggests that simply imagining yourself exercising can have
measurable physical benefits, potentially similar to actually working out your
research behind it, Researchers at Ohio State University studied how
the brain affects muscle strength and movement. Participants had their
risks immobilize and casts for four weeks so that their

(03:38):
muscles would be weakened from lack of use. One group
was instructed to imagine themselves doing strong muscle contractions like
lifting weights for about eleven minutes a day, five days
a week. The other group did nothing. The surprising result,
the group that practiced mental imagery retains significantly more muscle
strength than the group that did nothing. No, just found

(04:00):
they were roughly twice as strong as the non imagining
group at the end of the experiment.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
Why they say it works.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
The brains motor cortex plays a big role in controlling muscles,
and mentally rehearsing movements can activate those neural pathways even
without physical movement. Is this a real New story or
fake one?

Speaker 3 (04:17):
Nina, I wish this was real, but I'm gonna go
with fake. I just can't imagine.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
Yeah, Victoria, you think is real or fake that you
can just think about working out and you'd be more fit.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
No, that's fake. That's not how that works, Okay, Producer Freeze.

Scientists say that just thinking about working out can make
you more fit.

Exhibit a look at me. It's fake all right? That
is a real news story.

Speaker 1 (04:45):
Visualizing yourself working out can actually help make you stronger.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
Different than I do right now. Please create a meditation
for this. Get fit by meditating. I'm here for that.
You can learn a lot of things just by visual
It's crazy. Here's your next headline for real news or
fake news?

fake one that people actually believe. Kentucky Meat Shower Festival

Speaker 2 (05:22):
It's not a meat festival, a meat shower festival. Meat
shower festival.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
The meat shower is something that happened on March third,
eighteen seventy six, near Olympia Springs in Beth County, Kentucky.
For several minutes late in the morning, chunks of meat
fell from the sky over an area roughly one hundred by.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
Fifty yards, so that's a big area. It's about a
football field.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
Yeah, one witness says that she was outside making soap
on her porch and it looked like it was snowing meat.

Speaker 4 (05:53):
It was so long ago they were making soup on
their porch.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
Pieces range from small flakes to chunks several which is wide.
And they've never been able to figure out why there
was a meat shower all of a sudden in Kentucky.

falls out of the sky.

Speaker 2 (06:44):

is one hundred percent true. YEP.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
Back in the eighteen hundreds, there was a random everybody's
googling now meat shower. Meat just fell out of the sky.
Scientists examined samples after the event, and their studies found
that the meat was a mixture of muscle tissue, lung tissue,
and cartilage grows. The fightings also indicated that it came
from an animal, though the exact species were never determined,

(07:11):
early guesses would be beef, lamb deer, bear, or horse.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
So something exploded.

Basically, there was this meat falling from the sky out
of nowhere in Kentucky.
