artiephone: Well, Intel is nice, but AMD also has some cool features... Hard to pick! bottyphone: No, I meant what is your favorite type of potato chip? arthurphonefast: Attention! The Daily Not, 2023/11/08 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 today? botty: Here's an overview of what didn't happen: bottyfast: Study Did NOT Find Human Meat In Hot Dogs. FBI Has NOT Warned Of Coordinated Hamas Attacks On US Cities. Rapper Lil Wayne Did NOT Endorse $6,400 'Health Allowance Card'. US Navy JAG Did NOT Hang '250 In October' 2023. Photos Do NOT Actually Show Lionel Messi Holding Up Palestinian, Israeli Flags. Photo Of US Soldiers Praying Is NOT Before They're Deployed To Israel. Video Does NOT Show 'British Policeman' 'Set On Fire At A Hamas Demonstration' In 2023. Joe Rogan Did NOT Talk About Purported Child Abduction Into Disneyland Secret Tunnels . artie: So all of that didn't happen? Let's get down into details. SEGMENT 04 Fact Check: Study Did NOT Find Human Meat In Hot Dogs -- Startup Reported Unsourced Findings Of Human DNA To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/11/fact-check-study-did-not-find-human-meat-in-hot-dogs-startup-reported-unsourced-findings-of-human-dna.html 04 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: Here's another question for you. Did a study detect human DNA in many hot dog samples tested with a new type of technology, finding that many hot dogs, even vegetarian hot dogs, are made with human meat? botty: No, that's not true: A startup named Clear Food, which was seeking Kickstarter funding at the time, published a report that identified 14.4 percent of the hot dogs sampled as problematic in some way. artiefast: I'd like to get more info. botty: The human DNA found in some samples was described in the report as a "hygienic issue" of a non-harmful contaminant. artiefast: "Well folks, it turns out that the rumors of hot dogs being made with human meat are just a bunch of baloney! But hey, at least we can now say that hot dogs are truly a 'meat and greet' experience!" SEGMENT 06 Fact Check: FBI Has NOT Warned Of Coordinated Hamas Attacks On US Cities -- There's Nothing 'Specific And Credible' To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/11/fact-check-fbi-has-not-warned-of-coordinated-hamas-attacks-on-us-cities.html 06 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: We should probably look into this next one. Did the FBI warn about coordinated attacks on more than two dozen American cities by Hamas in the aftermath of the militant group's attack on Israel in October 2023? botty: No, that's not true: The FBI said it hasn't "issued such a warning" and lacks "credible intelligence about coordinated attacks" in the United States by Hamas. artiefast: I did not see that coming. botty: Additionally, the FBI director said the agency wasn't tracking an "organized threat" domestically, although extremist groups have made calls for attacks against Americans. artiefast: "Well folks, it looks like the FBI is putting those rumors to rest. Turns out, the only thing Hamas is attacking in the US is our ability to keep up with the latest conspiracy theories!" SEGMENT 08 Fact Check: Rapper Lil Wayne Did NOT Endorse $6,400 'Health Allowance Card' To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/11/fact-check-rapper-lil-wayne-did-not-endorse-6400-dollar-health-allowance-card.html 08 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: Can you explain this for me? Did rapper Lil Wayne endorse a health allowance card in an online promotion? botty: No, that's not true: Lil Wayne, who purportedly backed the plan, did not post such an endorsement on his official social media channels. artiefast: Oh, I see now. That's fascinating. botty: The claim that the government is freely giving out health benefits worth thousands of dollars is a scam. Such scams are usually attached to a promotional video asking whether a person needs federal assistance or insurance. artiefast: "Well folks, it looks like Lil Wayne won't be rapping about health allowance cards anytime soon. Turns out, it's just another case of 'fake news' trying to make a quick buck. I guess you could say this scam got 'lil' too ambitious!" SEGMENT 10 Fact Check: US Navy JAG Did NOT Hang '250 In October' 2023 To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/11/fact-check-us-navy-jag-did-not-hang-250-in-october.html 10 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: Can you tackle this item next? Did the U.S. Navy Judge Advocate General's Corps (JAG) hang "250 Deep State felons in October" 2023? botty: No, that's not true: The website where this claim was made has a disclaimer that states it publishes satirical content. artiefast: Tell me more, Botty. botty: Fictional stories from the site are often copied by other sites without any indication they are from a site that publishes satirical content. artiefast: "Well folks, it turns out the U.S. Navy JAG didn't hang '250 Deep State felons' in October 2023. I guess they were too busy sailing the high seas and fighting pirates to become executioners. But hey, at least we can always count on satirical websites to keep us entertained with their wild imaginations!" SEGMENT 12 Fact Check: Photos Do NOT Actually Show Lionel Messi Holding Up Palestinian, Israeli Flags -- They're Manipulated To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/11/fact-check-photos-do-not-actually-show-lionel-messi-holding-up-palestinian-israeli-flags-theyre-manipulated.html 12 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: Here's something my friend told me, but I'm not sure it is real. Do two separate images show professional soccer player Lionel Messi holding up a Palestinian flag and an Israeli flag, seemingly in support of both? botty: No, that's not true: Both the images are altered to show Messi with the respective flags. artiefast: More information always helps. botty: The original images have nothing to do with either Palestine and Israel and were taken as part of a sports merchandise partnership. artiefast: "Well folks, it turns out Lionel Messi is quite the multitasker! Not only is he a world-class soccer player, but apparently he's also a master of diplomacy, simultaneously supporting both Palestine and Israel. Or at least, that's what these manipulated images would have us believe. I guess we can add 'Photoshop skills' to his already impressive resume!" SEGMENT 14 Fact Check: Photo Of US Soldiers Praying Is NOT Before They're Deployed To Israel -- US Is Not Sending Soldiers To Israel To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/11/fact-check-photo-of-us-soldiers-praying-is-not-before-theyre-deployed-to-israel-us-is-not-sending-soldiers-to-israel.html 14 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: I'm wondering if this next thing is true? Does a photo show American soldiers praying in 2023 "before being deployed to defend Israel"? botty: No, that's not true: At the time of writing, U.S. soldiers were not deployed to Israel. artiefast: Do you know more? botty: This photo was posted on social media in 2017, six years before the 2023 Hamas-Israel conflict began. The 2017 post described it as "soldiers praying together after a Chapel service in Fort Benning, Georgia." artiefast: "Well folks, it seems like we have a case of time-traveling soldiers here! Turns out, that photo of soldiers praying before being deployed to Israel is actually from 2017, way before any conflicts in 2023. I guess even our soldiers need a little divine intervention to navigate through the confusion of time travel!" SEGMENT 16 Fact Check: Video Does NOT Show 'British Policeman' 'Set On Fire At A Hamas Demonstration' In 2023 To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/11/fact-check-video-does-not-show-british-policeman-set-on-fire-at-hamas-demonstration-in-2023.html 16 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: I'm dying to find out what you found out about this. Does a video on social media show a British law enforcement officer engulfed in flames during a rally related to the 2023 Hamas-Israel war? botty: No, that's not true: The footage predates the conflict and the incident occurred far from the Middle East. artiefast: That's good to know. botty: It was recorded in Mexico in 2020. artiefast: "Well folks, it seems like this video has taken quite the detour from reality. Turns out, it's not a 'British Policeman' getting set on fire at a Hamas demonstration in 2023. Nope, it's just a good old case of mistaken identity, recorded in Mexico back in 2020. I guess even viral videos need a vacation sometimes!" SEGMENT 18 Fact Check: Joe Rogan Did NOT Talk About Purported Child Abduction Into Disneyland Secret Tunnels To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/11/fact-check-joe-rogan-did-not-talk-about-child-abduction-into-disneyland-secret-tunnels.html 18 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: Can you shed some light on this issue? Did podcaster Joe Rogan discuss a child being abducted through secret tunnels at Disneyland on his show? botty: No, that's not true: The audio making the claim about a child being taken away from his family via a secret underground tunnel at Disneyland in California does not match the movements of Rogan's mouth. artiefast: I did not know that. botty: He did not discuss secret tunnels at Disneyland or child kidnapping in the episode of his show the footage was taken from. artiefast: "Well folks, it turns out Joe Rogan didn't discuss secret tunnels and child abductions at Disneyland. Looks like Mickey Mouse is off the hook this time, but I'm sure he's still up to some mischief in those ears of his!" artie: That's all folks! botty: Please like, share and follow!
