Speaker 1 (00:15):
For the cleverly named real News or Fake News where
we read you No, Prince Andrew's a purver. Yeah, that
was polite.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Give you a news story that's gone viral for the week,
and you have to tell me if it's a fake
one or a real news story. Here's your first headline
for real news or fake news. Chinese man claims his
body randomly grew a sweet potato in an unsweet place.
Chinese man claims his body randomly grew sweet potato in
an unsweet place.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Here's the story.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Can you have to tell me if it's a made
up one that people actually believed or a real story.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
A man in Chindu, China.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Arrived in an emergency room after discovering that a seven
inch long sweet potato had taken up an unexpected residency
in his dark nether region. The man did have to
have surgery to have it removed and is doing okay.
He claims he had no idea how it got there,
and it grew naturally, it was retrieved successfully and he
(01:18):
was sent home with a stern sweet potatoes goat in
the mouth only morning, Nina. Is that a true story
or a fake new story that people believe.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
I'm gonna go with real, just because not that long
ago we did a story about all the things people
put in their caves. Yeah, so this feels like it's
in that real cat show it's becoming.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Is this a theme, like, that's not.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Our fault people are doing that, Victoria Chinese man says
he grows a sweet potato in an unsweet place?
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Is that a real headline or a fake one?
Speaker 3 (01:50):
I'm gonna go to the real That's so that's the
best part.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
I'm gonna go with the real real And of course
that is a real news story pretty much guarantee anytime
you see one of those that's humans. Man. We like
putting things where things should go.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
You guys, we never grow up legs the nose A three.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
There some other places.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Here's another headline for real news or fake news. A
segment where I read a new story that's gone viral
this week, and you have to tell me if it's
a real new story or a fake one that people
actually believed. NASA confirms alarming broadcast signal from interstellar object
three i at lists as it turns around and.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Heads toward Earth's awesome.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
If you don't know much about three I at lists,
it's the some people are calling a comet, some people
saying it might not be a comment, might be an
actual spaceship. But it passed by its closest position to
Earth back in December. But NASA now confirms that an
alarming broadcast signal has come from interstellar object three i
at lists and it is turning around. Astronomers tracking the
interstellar object known as three iatlists have confirmed a surprising development.
(02:57):
The object appears to have subtly altered its traject and
is now moving back toward the Inner Solar System, including
Earth's orbital neighborhood. They say it's not a sudden turn,
it's more like a sustained adjustment, which is kind of creepy,
and NASA went on to say that a narrow band
radio emission was detected from three I atlists last week
(03:20):
and has now been partially decoded following analysis by an
international team of linguists and signal processing experts. According to
the agency, the transmission was not a random noise, but
a structured signal encoded using symbolic patterns closely matching ancient
Mesopotamian kudeaform a writing system dating back over five thousand years,
and researchers caution that the translation remains provisional, but the
(03:43):
most stable interpretation of the decoded sequence reads, we observed
you before you learned to write.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
We return to measure what remains yikes.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
NASA stressed that the original intent of the signal are
still under review and people shouldn't freak out. Basically, is
that an hay Hi story fake news story that people
actually believed?
Speaker 1 (04:03):
You don't want me to freak out. I'm believing it
right now. I want to go with real. They're coming
for us. They just want to see what we've learned
so far. Not much. So look at that first. Yeah,
I think victoria. Is that a real news story or
fake news story?
Speaker 2 (04:20):
NASA confirms alarming broadcasting from interstellar Object three I at
lists as it turns around and heads toward Earth.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
I'm gonna go fake fake.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Yeah, that ship seems to way too big a turn
around that quick producer freeze.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
I'm gonna go fake just to soothe myself, it is
a fake news story.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
I was really hoping it was real clean over its
cool ten million shares, though over ten million people clearly
believed it and think that three eye out lists is
coming here and that they sent a message in old
Mesopotamian writing form.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
But does that feel very far fetched? No? Not really, No, No,
no it doesn't. It doesn't. No, we have robots.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Here's another headline for real news or fake news segment
where I read a news story from the week after
telling me if it's a fake one or a real
news story. Here's the headline, The rats are on crack
in Houston. That's the headline, The rats are on crack
in Houston. Houston Police Department confirmed this week that an
(05:17):
evidence storage facility containing roughly one hundred and eighty tons
of confiscated narcotics has been compromised not by cartel members, hackers,
or corrupt insiders, but by what officials are now calling
highly motivated population of drug addicted mice. According to police,
the rodents gained access into the evidence locker through ventilation
(05:39):
gaps and utility conduits, quickly identifying and targeting specific narcotics
with what investigators describe as disturbing accuracy. Early reports indicate
the mice show a strong preference for powdered substances, showing
through packaging to access cocaine, methamphetamine, and heroin, while largely
ignoring the bulk of your items like of marijuana.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
They can't they can't find a liner, and they can't
use disposable thumbs. Is that a real news story or
a fake news story?
Speaker 2 (06:07):
People actually believe the Rats are on cracking Houston, Nina.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
I'm gonna have to go with real, just because that's
what I'm saying for every story today.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Victoria, the Rats are on cracking Houston or a fake?
That's real?
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Real Producer Freeze, I think the Rats are on cracking Houston.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Nina's lived in New York. I gotta believe it. Yeah,
it's real. That is one hundred percent confirmed. Just in
case you didn't know, the Rats are on cracking Houston.
