Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's almost time to test your skills. That's spotting fake News.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
It's the Jewel Show, and it's almost time for real
news or fake news. The segment where I read you
a news story from the week that's gone viral and
you have to see if you can tell whether it's
a fake news story or a real one. And it's
a lot harder than it sounds, and it's always a
good time, so we'll test your skills. It's spotting fake
news with real news or fake news coming up next, breaking.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
News right here at the Jewbil Show.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
In case you are unaware, Diddy served thanksgiving news to
his fellow inmates in prison. The only catch was nobody
was allowed to ask what made the turkey so juicy?
See how easy it is to create news stories. It's
the real news or fake news. The segment where I
give you a news headline that has gone viral this
(00:51):
week and you have to see if you can tell
whether it's a real news story or a fake news
story that people actually believed.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
I still don't go down.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
That hole your first news headline from real news or
fake news. Fire Crews rescue church congregation after AI pastor malfunctions.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Oh Is This a real new story of fake news story.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Fire crews rescue church congregation after AI pastor malfunctions. Story
is out of Huntsville, Alabama. A quiet suburban church has
become the center of an international firestorm after its experimental
AI pastor, Father Arturo Intelligentsia AI.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Clever name, but apparently it malfunctioned.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
The church introduced Father Arturo Intelligencia, the new AI pastor,
in June, claiming that the artificial minister could deliver more
engaging sermons and keep track of tithe receipts easier. And
for months, the robot pastor has been a hit, drawing
crowds eager to see scripture preached by the power of AI.
What but everything changed On Sunday during what is being
(02:02):
called what Sorry, during a sermon Father Arturo Intelligencia, the
AI pastor unexpectedly froze, and then on a screen that
he uses to deliver its sermons, it read ascension initiating
in three two. Witness to say at that point, the
(02:24):
sanctuary lights dimmed and the church doors, which are all
attached to smart devices.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Blocked, and I freaked out.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Scary, and then people in the congregation began getting text
messages on their phone saying your soul is being upgraded.
Please remain seated graded now. The moment even got worse
with this AI pastor. Just as the church tech team
attempted to shut the thing down, the pastor glitched and
started airing recordings of people's confessions.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Oh wow, one.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Why found out what her husband's been doing behind her back?
And unfortunately it doesn't sound like Tinhill Mary's is going
to do it this time.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
It's terrible.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
And finally, the AI pastor, who also controls all the
features in the building through a smart tech system, displayed
a message on the screen that said this congregation is
dirty and needs to be washed in the spirit, before
activating the fire alarm and the fire alarm sprinkler system
showering the congregation in a group baptism stopping. Luckily, the
(03:26):
fire alarm triggered the fire department, who was able to
break down the doors, and eventually the air pastor was
shut down and will probably not be making it.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Is this a real news story or a fake news story?
Speaker 2 (03:37):
The AI pastor that malfunctioned and just went crazy during
church on Sunday.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Wait, this story had a hold on me. I'm gonna
go ahead and say it's real real. Yeah, that feels
very real.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Can you imagine you're sitting there in church in the
AI pastor starts playing recordings.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Of your confessions, it locks the church?
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Yeah, I mean that would have me locked to my
seat though I don't hear all this stuff.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Yeah, Like, why did I pray? If you're just gonna
say all of it?
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Victoria? I think FA you thinking it's a fake new story?
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Yeah alright, AI pastor malfunctions and had to be shut
down for good? Is it a real new story or
a fake new story that is a real new story?
Speaker 1 (04:23):
AI for everything?
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Really, it's very disturbing. Is that disturbing?
Speaker 2 (04:29):
You know? Maybe we should stop creating AI things are
to us.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Out yelling at me. I think it's disturbing.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Her next headline for real news or fake news? The
segment where I read and read a new story that's
gone viral this week, and you have to see if
you can tell whether it's a real news story or
a fake news story that people actually believed. Here's your
next headline. Bangkok family feeling relieved that they didn't cremate
mom family feeling relieved that they didn't cremate mom. Yeah,
(05:00):
here's what happened. Believing she had passed away, a sixty
five year old woman was declared dead by her family
and prepped for cremation. Oh my gosh, this is.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
It out of Bangkok.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Her brother transported her body several hundred miles from their
home province to a temple on the outskirts of Bangkok
for cremation. They pronounced their mother dead. There was no
official death certificate, and the hospital that her brother first
tried to bring her to refused the organ donation request
because he didn't have an official death certificate. So he
(05:34):
just showed up at a hospital and it was like, hey,
my mom passed away. Do you want a new organs?
And they're like do you have a death certificate?
Speaker 4 (05:41):
And he was like no, bat, yeah, literally do that.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
So he took her to a place to have her cremated.
They actually put her in the coffin. This guy didn't
have a decertificate or anything. Apparently his mom had passed
out and was unresponsive, and so instead of just say
here to the hospital check on it, the family was like, yeah,
she gone. So he drove her to the outskirts of
(06:08):
Bangkok and found a place that would take her for cremation.
They put her inside the coffin, and as it was
making its way to the fire to be cremated, they
heard knocking and lo and be old mom was a lie.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
That's such a night.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
So she does not claust her phobic because that would
kill you just from waking up in there.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
They immediately scrambled and rescued her from the coffin and
sent her to the hospital where she should probably looked at.
And the family's relieved that she's around.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Still, I would never have that brother looking after her again.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Is that a real news story or a fake news
story that people actually believe?
Speaker 1 (06:42):
You know, that's real? That's gotta be real.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Seriously, Yeah, you hear about this happened a lot, not
the full blown cremation part, but declaring people dead before
they're dead.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Yeah, oh, Victoria. Real or fake?
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Hikes? I think fake. I think she would have woken
up a lot earlier.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Family relieved that they didn't have to cremate mom. Is
a real news story. Here's your next headline for real
news or fake news? A segment where I give you
a news story. Then with viral this week, I have
to see if you can tell whether it's a real
news story or a fake one that's gone viral and
people actually believed it. US authorities worn gang raccoons forming
(07:21):
packs and terrorizing suburban neighborhoods. US authorities warn gang raccoons
forming packs and terrorizing suburban neighborhoods. Federal Wildlife officials issued
an unusual public safety alert this week after reports emerged
of highly organized raccoon packs terrorizing a quiet neighborhood in Columbus, Ohio,
displaying behavior that one expert called shockingly coordinated and deeply disturbing.
(07:46):
Residents of Maple Glended State say the raccoons have gone
into basically full mafia mode, forming what authorities are now
calling trash based crime families. Stop witnesses described them as
working in teams of six to eight WHOA and breaking
into people's houses and basically taking over, taking items.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Tearing it up.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
So is this a real news story or a fake
news story that people actually believed? US authorities worn gang
raccoons forming packs and terrorizing suburban neighborhoods.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
The funny thing is we talk about raccoons a lot
on this show, and really you can't put anything past them, like,
there's a really good chance they're ganging it out.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
There was a drunk one yesterday, Right, it is not
that far fat.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
I'm gonna go with real, okay, and it's going real, yeah, Victoria,
real or fake. US authorities warn gang raccoons forming packs
and terrorizing suburban neighborhoods.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
I feel like they're nice creatures.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
You know they're not, though, but.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Bar is a pet, they're nice.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
I just saw a news story today where a guy
picked up a raccoon that he thought got run over
to take it somewhere to be nurse back to safety.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
It woke up while he was driving in it attacked. Yeah,
he had raby too.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
They might be able to be domesticated, but typically the
wild ones you don't want to.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
They are cute, but they're you know see.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
I'm like real, I'm going with real on that one. Yeah,
that is a fake news story. But freaken Venue had
an whole AI video and everything with it and went viral,
had over twelve million shares of TikTok and people freaking
out walking down the street because they're scared of gang raccoons.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
