When it comes to business travel in

0:02

Orlando, it's never business as usual. Sure,

0:05

I could go on for days about

0:07

all the incredible places to hold meetings,

0:09

or the Michelin Dining, or the breadth

0:11

of industries that call it home. But

0:14

when it's time for your business to

0:16

make the extraordinary happen, Albert Monero of

0:18

Limitless Solutions said it best, Orlando is

0:21

an incredible place for innovation. So dive

0:23

in and see what's happening in Orlando

0:25

where the possibilities for business travel are

0:28

unbelievably real. Learn more at orlandofourbusiness.com Today

we're taking a look back at the very best and strangest moments of

1:00

the last 365 days, with

1:26

help from some of our most thoughtful and

1:29

Kentankerous panelists, Eric

1:31

Peterson, Martha Chavez, and Jan Arden. If

1:33

you could only listen to One Because

1:35

News, this should definitely be in the

1:37

top 20. Here we

1:39

go! Though

1:42

many have tried hard to repress the memory, 2023

1:45

was the year Elon Musk bought Twitter, ruined

1:47

Twitter, changed the Twitter bird into an ex,

1:49

then challenged Mark Zuckerberg to a cage match,

1:51

and then said he couldn't do the cage

1:54

match because he required surgery. And those were

1:56

the least weird things Musk did. He also

1:58

joined forces with a certain Canadian politician

2:00

back in April. With

2:02

more on that peculiar moment, here

2:05

are Jan Caruana, Craig LaZone, and

2:07

Eric Peterson. Battle

2:10

an all new season of the MTV

2:12

classic Beavis and Butthead just dropped on

2:14

Paramount Plus this week, but

2:17

it seems the classic duo were

2:19

making headlines elsewhere as well. Have

2:21

a listen to this news clue and

2:24

be ready to quiz. But

2:32

it seems he sucks. Yeah,

2:34

he sucks hard. We

2:37

should call it government news. Yeah,

2:42

news from the government. What's

2:45

the 70% government funded

2:48

news? Wait,

2:51

wait, what is it? 69. Yeah,

2:58

we rule. That's

3:15

always my favorite part of the show. Battle,

3:18

there is your classic 90s news clue. For

3:20

the point, can you tell me which two

3:22

newsmakers were playing the roles of Beavis and

3:24

Butthead this week? Well, according to my Twitter

3:26

feed, it was Theo Fleury and Jamie Saleh.

3:30

Good guess no. Peter

3:33

Mansbridge and Ian Hanamansing. I

3:37

thought it was Danielle Smith and Scott

3:39

Mo. All

3:41

fair guesses. Does anyone know for real

3:43

which two people it was? Should

3:46

we say it all together? Let

3:48

Craig say it. Let

3:52

him get some points. All right,

3:54

it was Pee Pee and

3:56

Elon Musk. You are correct

3:59

for the point. Here's Pauliev and

4:01

Elon Musk. How did he

4:03

do it? How did he do

4:05

it? He knows everything that goes

4:07

on in the country. The National

4:09

Post headline reads, Pauliev asks Elon

4:11

Musk to label CBC government-funded media

4:13

on Twitter. This is something the

4:15

CEO had already done to the

4:17

BBC and NPR. Twitter's

4:19

policy says this label applies to

4:21

news outlets that may have varying

4:24

degrees of government involvement over editorial

4:26

content. CBC took

4:28

Umbridge with that label. How

4:30

did they respond? Monstrous! This

4:32

is outrageous! How dare you insinuate

4:34

that we are government-funded! We

4:38

are only 70% government-funded! It's

4:41

time we took a pause. We'll take a

4:43

pause, you go and sit in your tesla,

4:45

and think about what you have just said!

4:49

I think that was the reaction. That's exactly how I

4:51

imagine CBC saying it. You

4:54

are correct for the point. They

4:56

said the label is deceptive and

4:58

untrue, and that its journalists are

5:01

independent. Its editorial independence is

5:03

enshrined in the law. As

5:05

a matter of fact, the CBC is partially

5:07

publicly funded, with the rest coming from advertising.

5:09

They said so Elon Musk decided to change

5:11

it yet again. Or as one

5:14

headline put it, Elon Musk changes CBC's Twitter

5:16

label the way a 13-year-old child would. What

5:19

13-year-old way did Musk ultimately end up

5:22

labeling CBC's Twitter? CBC

5:24

stands for cootie booby caca.

5:28

He changed CBC's Twitter label to

5:31

69% government-funded. Very

5:34

clever. Elon Musk

5:37

is the world's richest man. After

5:41

Elon changed it to 69,

5:43

Pierre Polyev tweeted a response. What

5:45

did he tweet? Elon, that was so fetch! issue.

6:00

Any idea what he said? He said something

6:02

about, you know, he had to go and

6:04

hide behind a big, you know, American millionaire.

6:06

That is close to correct. Here's what Trudeau said.

6:08

The fact that he has to run

6:11

to American billionaires for support

6:13

to attack Canadians says

6:16

a lot about Mr. Paul Yev

6:18

and his values. I feel like

6:20

Trudeau was kind of eating this week. Like, I

6:23

feel like he kind of like rolled up his

6:25

sleeves a bit on it, you know? And then like

6:27

that kid who was telling him that he didn't believe

6:29

in abortion and then the kid was taping what

6:31

Trudeau was saying and then halfway through Trudeau's kind

6:34

of lambasting this kid, the kid just

6:36

kind of like very subtly like stopped

6:38

recording. He can

6:40

always out-debate a teenager,

6:43

that guy. Some skills.

6:47

Do you feel like these are just like juvenile

6:49

games that they're playing? Is there something more

6:52

serious going on? It's kind of

6:54

rich coming from the conservatives and Paul Yev

6:57

about, you know, Chinese interference

7:00

in this country when he'll turn to, you

7:02

know, and calling that foreign interference, for example.

7:04

This is one example of it. But we

7:06

have all this American, you know, I'm going

7:09

to go to an American to influence what

7:11

happens here. So there's that kind of standard.

7:13

And then, you know, Paul

7:15

Yev is saying that CBC is fake

7:18

news and a government funded thing, but then

7:20

he cited a CBC

7:22

story about Trudeau's vacation.

7:25

He's like, is it true, Mr. Trudeau? Did you spend a

7:27

hundred and whatever? So it's a, you

7:29

know, they're playing both ends against each other. After

7:32

the change to CBC's Twitter

7:34

account, Paul Yev tweeted breaking

7:37

CBC officially exposed. Exposed.

7:41

I think personally it's a very

7:43

big relief to finally be exposed.

7:45

So I think the

7:47

only thing we can do now is

7:49

be the show that Elon and Pierre

7:51

say that we are. So panel, please

7:54

throw off your masks and get ready to

7:57

play news. Stay sponsored.

8:07

Oh hello everyone on panel,

8:09

I am Georgi Kropunov and

8:12

this is number one Canada Factual

8:14

News Quiz brought

8:16

to you by glorious Liberal government,

8:19

cheers for them! All

8:22

hail Pluto! Alright

8:24

panel, big number one big question,

8:26

who is number one smartest person

8:28

in the country of Canada? Beloved

8:32

leader Justin Trudeau!

8:34

Jan-Carlo, of course the best leader in

8:36

the world is leader Justin Trudeau! And

8:38

now for good financial news panel, Canada's

8:40

inflation rate cools to 4.3% for points.

8:44

What is reason? Inflation is at

8:46

lowest level since 2021, Eric. No

8:51

please don't set me away, I don't think I do that.

8:54

Craig, because of supreme leader Justin

8:56

Trudeau! Incorrect, because

8:59

of... It is because wonderful finance

9:01

policy of super great Chris Yapmila!

9:05

Trudeau number two! Also

9:09

in news this week major capitalist has

9:11

resigned from job named person who is

9:14

responsible for inflation, who has done the

9:16

right thing and finally resigned. Galen

9:18

Weston. You are correct for Port Eric

9:20

Pearson, it is Canadian only

9:23

guard Galen Weston, man behind West

9:25

inflation. He

9:28

will sit down as CEO of Loblaws and

9:30

being face of greed. Okay,

9:33

that's it for this is Canada's number

9:35

one Factual News Quiz. Remember more facts

9:37

are good and everyone should be gay

9:39

or face consequences. Join

9:42

us again or you will be deported to

9:44

Alberta to work on glorious wind. There's

9:51

good news, there's bad news and

9:54

there's because news. Because

9:57

news with Galen We

10:07

recorded that last April with glorious

10:09

panelists, Eric Peterson, Craig Lazone, and

10:11

John Caruana. In

10:18

every year, there's one story that seems

10:20

to grab all the headlines and just

10:22

not let go. One

10:24

year it was Trump, then it was, well,

10:26

COVID, and in 2023, it was inflation. Fortunately,

10:30

back in June, we were joined by

10:32

a Pennywise panel who had some helpful

10:34

tips on how to survive the

10:37

rising cost of living. Mind you,

10:39

this was back in June, and living then

10:41

was significantly cheaper. Here's

10:43

Emma Hunter, Ajatas Charlie, and

10:45

the notoriously frugal singer-songwriter, Jan

10:48

Arden. Panel,

10:50

sadly, we cannot let the season

10:53

end without at least one last

10:55

altered lyric. Unfortunately,

10:58

due to events, I'm going to have to sing that

11:00

altered lyric in front of Jan Arden. So nevertheless,

11:04

have a listen to this Canadian classic

11:07

and be ready for questions. This

11:50

is the summer of 6.9. Oh

11:55

no. This

11:57

is the summer of... That

12:02

was impressive.

12:09

That was so good. That

12:11

was so impressive. And Brian Adams is going

12:13

to sue your ass. All

12:17

right, Beto, there is your altered lyric. Nobody

12:19

knows for sure what kind of summer Canada is going to have,

12:22

but all the headlines seem to agree that summer 2023

12:24

will for sure be one thing. What

12:28

can you bank on summer 2023 being? Your

12:31

last. I

12:34

think the dog went for fun. The

12:38

glee with which you said that is

12:41

disturbing. Your last. I

12:44

was getting sick. Incorrect, Jen. What

12:46

can you count on this summer being? I was

12:48

going to say the summer of fun drinks

12:50

and friendship. What

12:54

did you say? John,

12:57

this summer is going to be what? I'm going a

12:59

climate change angle. It's going to be the summer of

13:01

6.9 thousand degrees

13:04

Celsius. What the

13:06

media has gone with is this summer

13:08

is going to be expensive. The

13:13

6.9 in that song references our line

13:15

of credit rate here at Begun's News.

13:20

Yahoo Finance wrote, summer 2023

13:23

said to be most expensive

13:25

year yet for travelers. It's

13:28

not just travelers. It seems there are

13:30

all kinds of sunny expenses that according

13:33

to headlines can make summertime as big

13:35

a financial drain as what? Halloween.

13:39

Sexy nun costumes are getting out of

13:41

hand. Jen,

13:43

it is a bigger financial drain than what? I

13:45

don't drink alcohol, but any kind of

13:48

mocktail is so expensive. In summertime, I

13:50

love a fun drink. I really do.

13:53

It's like, that will be $14.50. It's

13:56

basically a Shirley Temple with

13:59

a lot of money. with like a sprig of

14:01

basil in it and it's 16 bucks. So

14:03

it's gonna be an expensive summer drink season

14:05

for me because I love, I'm a sucker

14:08

for it. The Toronto Star wrote

14:10

this week, summer spending can be as bad

14:12

as Christmas, they say. It

14:14

said one summer cash trap revolves around a

14:16

certain meeting place. If you're looking to keep

14:19

your expenses down, where do they

14:21

say it is wise to avoid hanging out? I

14:23

think it's Shoppers Drug Mart. You

14:25

go in there to buy sunscreen, $150 later,

14:30

you leave, you don't even know what you bought.

14:32

It's like the Bermuda Triangle for my money in

14:34

there. It really is. I

14:36

like where you're going, because I would say Costco. You

14:38

go in for a pepper grinder and

14:41

you come out with a frickin' lobster

14:43

farm. Yeah. They

14:46

say patios, avoid patios because you

14:48

tend to linger on them for

14:50

much longer. You eat more, you

14:52

drink more. In the article, it

14:54

even says, some people go as

14:56

far as having dessert. Blottens,

15:00

idiots. In this economy?

15:02

No. According to

15:05

the Toronto Star article, summer can be

15:07

especially costly for a certain group that

15:09

tends to overspend on entertainment. What group

15:11

is most likely to go broke trying

15:13

to keep people entertained? Spends

15:15

a lot trying to entertain people over

15:17

the summer. I'm just gonna go gay

15:20

people. Thank you, thank

15:22

you. I'm just gonna just make a general statement, because

15:25

it is pride and I felt like I needed to

15:27

say that. And they're

15:29

generous. And we're going for it. We're

15:31

generous to a fault. Yes, the correct

15:33

answer, parents. Oh,

15:35

yeah. Parents trying to keep their kids

15:37

entertained all summer and sometimes falling into

15:39

the trap of overspending. How do you

15:41

keep your kids entertained on a budget,

15:44

Emma? Oh, no, no, no. I

15:46

do one type of parenting,

15:48

which is survival. So like I feed them and

15:51

then I wash them. But

15:53

I'm not gonna entertain them because they can't afford me,

15:56

you know? And if

15:58

they have an issue with that, they can take it up with my age. agent

16:00

Barb. She's

16:02

very good. I feel like I should give Jan a

16:04

point for that because I feel like you're kind of

16:06

on to something because it's like parents

16:08

spend a little bit on their kids but

16:10

I know from experience the gay uncles we

16:13

go to the mat. I spend a lot.

16:16

I buy like eight four hundred dollar like

16:18

inflatable tubes to make sure everybody can go

16:20

down the river and like a special treasure

16:22

map that I burn the edges of and

16:25

then like bury like a whole

16:27

bunch of treasure in the yard like two weeks before

16:29

they get there so they can go on like a

16:31

pirate hunt and stuff like that. Yeah this is expensive.

16:34

My dad just gave me a swig of beer. That was

16:36

the whole summer. Here try this. Get out. In lieu of a swig of beer

16:39

the article

16:47

suggests swimming pools, books,

16:49

picnics and parks is a way to

16:52

keep expenses down. Great. Finally financial advisors

16:54

recommend hitting the pause button before you

16:56

replace something for the summer season. What

16:58

do they urge you not to replace?

17:01

Your wife. And

17:04

a natural experts urge you don't

17:06

replace your wife for the summer.

17:09

It's gonna cost ya. Getting back out

17:11

there and dating is expensive. Just lock

17:13

it up for a couple more months.

17:15

It is not your wife Jen. You

17:17

shouldn't replace what in the

17:19

summer? I'm

17:22

just gonna say bra. Expensive.

17:26

I usually go with

17:29

one bra for two or three years at a time.

17:31

Me too. Well

17:34

you're gonna get a point for

17:36

that because they say think twice before

17:39

you replace your entire wardrobe. I

17:42

got a point for that. This is the

17:44

greatest game. Yeah they

17:46

say you know just really try to re-wear

17:53

some things from last summer even if

17:55

it will make you look so cringe.

17:57

So summer 2022. Can

18:00

I make a comment about kids camps? Sure.

18:04

Okay, I'm sorry. I'd love for

18:06

you to. Okay, so I'm sending my

18:08

kids to a couple of day camps and

18:10

it is costing me 1.6 million dollars.

18:14

Wow. And I know that it's

18:16

just some stoned teen spraying them in a

18:18

face with a hose and at like two

18:20

o'clock they give them some sunflower seeds, I

18:22

think. And like, what's

18:24

with that, man? Come on.

18:28

They're robbing us out there and there's nothing we can

18:30

do about it. I'm going with patio. Of

18:34

course, the biggest overspend for most

18:36

Canadians is travel and there was

18:38

big airline news this week. According

18:40

to a recent CBC News headline,

18:42

WestJet swallowing something is

18:45

a win for travelers. What

18:48

is WestJet swallowing? WestJet

18:51

has bought a

18:53

Sunwing and another airline. So for

18:56

summer travelers, I think it's going

18:58

to get even more challenging to

19:01

find that cheap trip down to

19:04

Cancun. You are correct.

19:06

The headline for

19:08

CBC News is WestJet

19:12

says swallowing Sunwing and swoop

19:14

is a win for travelers,

19:17

but not everyone has high hopes. WestJet

19:19

CEO Alexis van Honsbrouck says this

19:22

merger will be great for customers.

19:25

Why? Yeah. Why? How

19:28

come? Gavin, tell us. Tell us,

19:30

guys. For a point, guys. Luckily,

19:32

for a point, I know the

19:34

answer. Van

19:41

Honsbrouck says instead of selling super low fares

19:43

on 16 airplanes, we're going

19:45

to sell super low fares on 180 airplanes.

19:49

Yeah. They love

19:51

it. That's Van Hoek right there. Do

19:55

you buy what Van Honsbrouck is selling

19:58

there? When has the merger? Ever

20:00

worked out for a Canadian in recent

20:02

memory I don't feel like I've personally

20:05

been the recipient the Reaper of the

20:07

rewards lately for for this kind of

20:09

thing I hope it works out

20:11

though because I'm Incredibly jealous

20:13

of the European budget airline

20:16

system. Yeah, it's unbelievable 90 bucks

20:18

to go from like London to Portugal

20:20

and it's it I don't even know how they do

20:23

it. They do sit on each other's

20:25

laps like I

20:36

Think I'm on your phone. No, no That

We've dealt with inflation, We've dealt

22:19

with Ilan Mass. But Twenty Twenty

22:21

Three did give us one other

22:23

huge news story. That's right, I'm

22:26

talking about the king. Canada.

22:28

Got a new king this year

22:31

and news outlets covered not just

22:33

his ascension to the throne but

22:35

also his coronation. His anoint mint

22:38

is thrown mint and his peculiar

22:40

hands. Yes, This year, Charles

22:42

suddenly became far more visible in

22:44

our lives. And for better or

22:46

for worse, he's only getting more

22:49

visible. There. With that story

22:51

or G noon Chris lock

22:53

and actually bought it's. It.

22:55

Was announced this week that the king

22:57

will soon be on our twenties, but

22:59

where else will his mug be cropping

23:01

up crops from the bottom of the

23:04

bed? That Camilla is is. Possibly

23:09

not. They add to that was

23:11

in the headlines selling above. The shrugs

23:13

it Harry and Megan's. Above

23:17

the shrubs? Yeah, that's what I meant. To

23:28

learn. But it's it's silly because

23:30

it's cheaper and if it's that

23:32

sunni it's it because it's attitude.

23:34

That and if it's his mails

23:36

anything anymore I don't. Know as

23:38

as as it is on coins

23:40

I don't have it's all coins

23:42

but maybe this checkbox is also

23:44

going to be on our coins.

23:47

According to Cbc news, Canadian coins

23:49

are getting a literal facelift to

23:51

celebrate new things, Crowning the rendering

23:53

of Charles on the bill is,

23:55

in a word: generous. in

23:59

fact i'm been hearing from people

24:01

that it doesn't look that much like Charles

24:03

but does look a lot like someone else.

24:06

Who does it look like? Pierce

24:08

Brosnan? That is

24:10

a very good guess. The correct answer according to

24:12

five people who tweeted at me, it's me. I

24:18

keep getting tweets from people are like why

24:20

did they put Gavin on the money? Which

24:23

is absurd and not at all

24:25

flattering if you see the picture.

24:28

That's awesome. Money

24:31

is not the only thing getting a

24:33

facelift. Our official coat of arms is

24:35

also changing. We are removing

24:37

the fleur-de-lis and crosses from the coat

24:40

of arms and we are replacing them.

24:42

What are we replacing the fleur-de-lis and

24:45

crosses with? We have a

24:47

coat of arms. Yes

24:49

it's on police badges and passports and

24:51

flags. Good to know. We're replacing

24:53

it with a Stanley Cup because that's the only

24:55

way Canada is ever gonna see one. Are they

24:59

like skulls and mermaids and stuff? That

25:02

would be amazing but no. Jean any

25:04

ideas? Maple

25:07

leaf and

25:11

snow. You're

25:13

correct to the point. Yes

25:16

it is really actually maple leaf and

25:18

snowflakes. Yes

25:25

the National Post headline reads Canada

25:27

unveils new crown with snowflake and

25:29

maple leaves instead of religious symbols.

25:33

The coat of arms contains a ribbon with

25:35

Canada's motto written in Latin. Obviously

25:38

everyone knows this but just for people

25:40

who don't, what is Canada's motto? I

25:43

know this. Looks to

25:45

agenda in Santa's populace.

25:48

Upwind from crazy town. That

25:53

is a very good guess. It is Latin. Ashley what

25:55

is Canada's motto? De duchere

25:57

tuque. Bring a tuque. I'll

26:02

give you a hint. In Latin, it

26:04

is amare usque ad mare. From

26:06

C to C. You're correct, G. It

26:08

is from C to C. See, that Latin

26:10

finally paid off. It should be

26:13

from C to C to C. Hmm?

26:16

Oh, it's in Latin. If

26:23

the new coat of arms is too woke

26:25

for you, don't worry. You can still see

26:27

the old coat of arms on our brand

26:29

new passports, which were unveiled this week. According

26:31

to CBC News, the new passport pages

26:34

showcases less of our history. Can

26:36

you tell me what history is being

26:38

scrubbed from the passports? Hopefully that time

26:41

I smoked hash and then went to

26:43

math class. I

26:47

think they're scrubbing our thriving

26:49

asbestos industry. Gene?

26:53

Oh, there's Vimy

26:55

Ridge. As the fathers

26:58

of Confederation. Oh, there's Terry

27:00

Fox. And Terry Fox, yes. They're

27:03

scrubbing him? Yes.

27:06

Wait, before you get all mad about it.

27:08

What do you mean? Like they're cleaning him

27:10

up? No, they're removing those pictures from the

27:12

passports. What do Terry Fox ever do? Okay,

27:15

but until two minutes ago, did

27:17

you know there was a picture of Terry

27:20

Fox in your passport? No. I

27:22

couldn't find my phone. I can't. Are there going to be

27:24

any pictures at all? There are going

27:26

to be pictures. Honestly, the passport's my

27:28

favourite book. Because

27:30

you only like books with pictures. That's

27:32

right. Well, you might like

27:34

it even more now, Chris. The makeover

27:37

will now showcase new traditional Canadian images.

27:40

What images will now be in the passport? There's just

27:42

going to be like a bunch of pages of airport delays.

27:47

No. Any other guesses? Mr. Sub.

27:50

Gene? Raking leaves. Yes,

27:53

it is raking leaves. Raking leaves is one of them.

27:56

A man raking leaves. have

28:00

someone on who does read the news. For

28:03

fun. Riding

28:09

high on the coronation that was

28:11

Jean Yoon, Chris Locke and Ashley Bodding.

28:14

And somehow we have reached the

28:16

end of another exciting years worth

28:18

of Because News. I'll

28:21

be back with an all new show
