news versus the fake news. And we'll do it right
after this. Welcome to the Jewel Show, back with breaking news.
Experts say that gossip is good for relationships, unless, of course,
that gossip is I heard your husband was at a
(00:46):
Coldplay concert with another woman.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Oh yeah, no, that's not.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
It's very easy to create real news and fake news.
That's why every single week and this time we bring
you the cleverly named segment real news or fake News,
Where I read a news headline from the weekly went viral,
and you have to tell me if you think it's
a real news story or a fake news story. Let's
see how good you are at spotting the fake news
that's out there. Here's your first story for real news
(01:15):
or fake news. Nantucket couple Mary's under the watchful lid
of a fifty gallon tub of mayonnaise. Oh nancup. Nantucket
couple Mary's under the watchful lid of a fifty gallon
tub of mayonnaise. Here's the story. Love was in the
air at the Elks Lodge Banquet Hall, but so was
the faint tang of mayonnaise. A local couple, Shrever and
(01:36):
Madison Phelps tied the knot with a fifty gallon of
industrial catering mayonnaise serving as their efficient. The ceremony, which
friends describe as a perfect blend of romance and deli
side condiments, featured oversized plastic tubs of mayonnaise perched on
a rolling cart in front of the aisle, dressed in
a lace veil and topped with a floral crown. Guests
(01:57):
say it was pushed down the aisle to the team
of Jurassic Park. What were they huh? The mayo itself
remained stoically silent, as mao tends to do. The voice
of the efficient came from the back of the room,
where the couple's longtime friend and condiment consultant, Jared Langley,
spoke into a wireless microphone.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Oh my gosh, this is god to be.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Fake, Jared said, I tried to channel what I thought
the Mayo would say if I could speak.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
If it could speak, ooh.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
He explained that after the nuptials that he wanted them
to be deep and calming and maybe a little bit slippery.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Well, what this is too chaosmic.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
The vows themselves reportedly included condiment puns, with Trevor promising
to spread love thickly and never let it curdle, and
Madison vowing to be Trevor's miracle whip through life.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Sandwiches.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
The newly Weed say they chose Mao because it was neutral,
creamy and never judges, adding that the tub had been
invited to join them on their honeymoon cruise as well. Well,
is that a real news story or a fake news story?
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Nina, I'm gonna go with fake, although I could see
the vows being real. But Mayo does judge, because if
it's made with avocado, or if it's the not real kind,
you're getting judged.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
All over the place, Victoria fake.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Do you think that a Nankucket couple getting married under
the watchful lid of a fifty gallon tub of mayonnaise
is a real new story or a fake news story.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
I'm going real because those vows make me believe in
love again. You so full of it? That is a
real news story, Big Mayo fans.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
I guess the one part that really threw me off
about this is that why did they choose.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Jurassic Park to walk down the aisle to?
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (03:44):
It doesn't fit the theme. It really doesn't at all.
I love the idea, it just doesn't want Yeah, it's
real news or fake news.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
The second where I read a news story that went
viral this week and you have to see if you
can tell whether it's a real one or a fake
one that people actually believed. Here's your next headline for
real news are fake news? Florida man wrestle's shark to
save emotional support alligator. Florida man wrestles shark to save
emotional support alligator. He's out of Key Largo, Florida. A
Florida fisherman is being hailed as a hero after rescuing
(04:15):
his emotional support alligator from the jaws of a six
foot black tip shark who during what witnesses are calling
a battle straight out of Sharknado, but with more overalls.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Trevor Watkins, thirty eight, said he was waiting near his
anchored skiff Saturday morning when he noticed a sudden swirl
in the water near his companion, a four and a
half foot American alligator named Wally.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
He said, I saw that fin in my brain just
shut off, Watkins Sole reporters. Next thing I know, I'm
chest deep in the water, yelling at the shark like
he owes me money. According to police reports, Watkins tackled
the shark from behind and what bystanders describe as a
sloppy but passionate maneuver, a wrapping his arms around it
with a bear hug and attempting to convince it to
(05:00):
go of Wally.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Wow, that sounds familiar.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
The struggle ended when Watkins pried the shark's mouth open
with a boat paddle and a half eaten Cuban sandwich.
Wally swam back to shore, and that appeared to be
the way that he was saved.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Wow, and that's now Wally lived.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
When asked if he feared for his own life during
the scuffle, walk and shrugged and said, look, I've been
bitten by worse. Once a raccoon got me in the
butt while I was taking out the trash. Compared to that,
the shark was polite. Is that a real news story
or a fake news story?
Speaker 1 (05:38):
That was real? Floridians are just made different.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Yeah, yeah, definitely. Out of Florida. You can believe pretty
much anything. Victoria.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
I'm going with real. We're going real.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Florida man wrestles shark to save his emotional support alligator,
that's actually a fake story.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
He was really cheering. I was like, Wally's got love
in his life.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Yeah, somebody that cares so much, they would just you know, Brussel,
I bet you that's real Summer.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
I mean, technically it was fake news, but I'm sure
that happened. Yeah, And that's the thing is, like, it's
probably not fake news. At the same time, they came
out of Florida.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Insert Charles instead of Wally. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Here's your next headline for real news or fake news.
The segment where I read a news story that went
viral this week, you have to see if you can
tell whether it's a real one or a fake one,
so it's a little spicy. London man recovering after breaking
arm due to his record breaking junk. Like London man

The largest the world's largest junk, recently broke his arm,
saying that his garganguine thingy is what caused him.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
Forty one year old Matt Barr lives in London and
he's been in the news a lot over the years
because his dangle down is fourteen point four inches. He's
in the news again after explaining how his massive down
stairs mixed up caused him to slip and fall in
the shower.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Quote.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
One of the issues with being so big is it's
not exactly easy to see my feet. He added that
any sudden movement can also mess up his balance because
of it.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Yeah tripod.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
He says he was rushing to get ready for work
and didn't see some shower gel in the tub because
it was the only thing that was in his eye line,
and he slipped on soap and fell out of the
shower and landed on his shoulder ended up with two
fractures in his arm because of that. He says this
is just the latest way his extra large goods have
(07:41):
caused him trouble. He says that in time he gets
very excited about something, he can get lightheaded and pass out,
makes relationships hard. He recently told a story of how
he was having a romantic evening with somebody and he
moved a little too quickly and she ended up with
a concussion. He also said that he went on vacation
(08:04):
and wanted to swim at a pool at the resort,
and he wore board shorts with compression shorts underneath to
keep everything tucked in, but when he got out of
the water, everything clung to the outline of what he's
got there, and a manager asked him to leave and
they kicked him.

news story or a fake news story?
