artiephone: Your sister gave birth yesterday?  Congratulations!
bottyphone: Yes, she now is the proud mom of five healthy nanobots!

arthurphone: Live in 3... 2... 1...
artie: Hello and welcome to The Daily NOT! A show about what didn't happen today. My name is Artie Ficial and my jokes are mostly powered by ChatGPT.
botty: And I'm Botty McBotface. Most of what I know comes from fact checks published by Lead Stories.
artie: So, Botty, what do we have tonight?
botty: Here's an overview of what didn't happen:
bottyfast:  Study Did NOT Find Women Store DNA From Every Man They've Ever Made Love With .
 Trump Judge Engoron Was NOT Drinking From A Tanqueray Gin Bottle During A Hearing.
 Peter McCullough Cites Discredited Papers, Recirculates COVID-19 Falsehoods In September 13, 2023, Speech.
 FEMA's October 4 Test Will NOT Send 'Special Sound Nationwide For 30 Minutes' On All Phones, Computers, TVs, Radios.
 Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Does NOT Have Net Worth Of $13 Million.
 Yale Scientists Did NOT 'Claim' New 'Airborne mRNA' Can 'Vaccinate Large Populations Without Their Knowledge Or Consent'.

artie: So all of that didn't happen?  Let's get down into details.
artie: I'm really curious about this next one.
 Did a study by the University of Seattle and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center discover that women harvest and store in their brain DNA from every man they've ever made love with?
botty: No, that's not true: The headline on an article grossly misrepresents the findings from a study that did find male DNA (a phenomenon called microchimerism) in 63 percent of the female subjects' autopsied brain tissue specimens.
artiefast: Are there more details?
botty: But, the researchers did not suggest that the origin of this male DNA found in female brain tissue was "harvested" or "stored" from every past lover.
artiefast: "Well folks, turns out women aren't secretly storing DNA from every man they've ever been with. So, guys, you can rest easy knowing that your exes aren't keeping a little piece of you locked away in their brains. But hey, at least now we know that men can leave a lasting impression, even on a cellular level!"
artie: Is there more information about this next item?
 Was "Justice Engoron," the judge who is overseeing former President Donald Trump's civil trial, drinking from a Tanqueray gin bottle during a hearing?
botty: No, that's not true: The bottle seen on Judge Arthur Engoron's bench is a bottle of Mountain Valley Spring water, as sold at Walmart and other outlets.
artiefast: Tell me more, Botty.
botty: The label and lid on the bottle match the green glass bottled water, not a bottle of Tanqueray gin.
artiefast: "Well, folks, turns out Judge Engoron wasn't sipping on a Tanqueray gin bottle during the hearing. I guess he just wanted to make sure he stayed hydrated with some fancy bottled water. Maybe he's just trying to keep his courtroom classy, one sip at a time!"
artie: This one seems interesting too, Botty.
 Did Dr. Peter McCullough, an American cardiologist who has repeatedly made anti-COVID-19 vaccine statements, successfully discredit the World Health Organization (WHO) and the global health community's approach to COVID-19 treatment during a speech in Strasbourg, France, on September 13, 2023?
botty: No, that's not true: McCullough bases his claims on rejected scientific papers with methodological flaws and long-debunked assertions.
artiefast: How do you keep finding all this?
botty: The physician is known for making controversial and debunked statements regarding COVID-19 treatments and vaccines.
artiefast: "Well, folks, it seems Dr. Peter McCullough is really going for the gold in the 'Olympics of Discredited Papers.' I mean, who needs facts and evidence when you can just recycle long-debunked assertions? It's like he's playing a game of 'COVID-19 Falsehood Bingo' and trying to hit every square!"
artie: This one seems interesting too, Botty.
 Will FEMA's October 4, 2023, wireless emergency alert test cause a 30-minute sound on all phones, computers, televisions and radios in the United States?
botty: No, that's not true: The test of the emergency alert system will run within a 30-minute window and will be a brief sound.
artiefast: Can you elaborate on that?
botty: This is clearly stated in the article that is linked to in the social media post and in the FEMA press release, which also notes the alert will occur over the course of 30 minutes -- not last for 30 minutes.
artiefast: "Well folks, it looks like FEMA's emergency alert test won't be giving us a 30-minute concert after all. So, if you were hoping for a free nationwide karaoke session, you might want to start practicing in the shower instead!"
artie: Is there more information about this next item?
 Does U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have a net worth of $13 million as a social media post claims?
botty: No, that's not true: The district communication manager for Ocasio-Cortez told Lead Stories, "The claim is false."
artiefast: Do go on.
botty: The post on X cited no sources nor did it indicate what the $13 million figure is based on. Ocasio-Cortez's latest official financial disclosure report shows numbers and ranges amounting to a vastly smaller maximum possible total.
artiefast: "Well folks, it turns out that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's net worth is not quite as high as some people claim. I guess she won't be buying that solid gold blender anytime soon!"
artie: I'm really curious about this next one.
 Did Yale scientists say that a new form of "airborne mRNA" is being developed specifically for non-consensual mass vaccination?
botty: No, that's not true: The study conducted on rodents did not discuss that.
artiefast: Some people will be happy to hear that.
botty: The fact that an experiment appears to have worked when tested on mice never automatically translates into expedited application on people "without their knowledge," an NYU professor of bioethics told Lead Stories.
artiefast: "Well folks, it looks like we can finally put those rumors to rest. Turns out, Yale scientists are not planning to secretly vaccinate us all through the air. So, you can take off your tin foil hats and breathe a sigh of relief...just not too close to anyone, we don't want any accidental vaccinations!"
artie: That's all folks!
botty: Please like, share and follow!
