2:13

yes, And let's begin. This

2:18

is something we like to call

2:20

Wave was where we look at

2:22

some of the news stories that

2:25

made us stop scrolling to say

2:27

we what. About

2:30

as good as many people were.

2:32

Stop in their tracks this week

2:34

by something food, giant mob laws

2:37

and now what does my blog

2:39

on? Out Me there had many

2:41

Canadians the same way was. They're

2:44

going to have to start shrinking their

2:46

products again like for shrinks li sense

2:48

so all no name products will now

2:50

just be called know know. Brian

2:52

France has since spread will

2:54

just be called Brett. Barnett

2:58

he says spare his bag, everything's a

3:00

bereaved and also in a pack of

3:02

soups. The Zeus one yeah I know

3:05

when you when you open a bag.

3:07

Of ways and they say but you can he just when you

3:37

continue discounting so that's about to

3:39

expire at as a single usually

3:41

do. Sixty percent needed to see

3:43

thirty percent. That is correct

3:45

for the point. The headlines on Cbc read. As

do my shopping a Fiesta Farms because

6:06

I'm rich. I

6:10

see some human flesh once every

6:12

fortnight. Well

6:17

final question in this section

6:19

of away what according to

6:22

C B C panel when.

6:24

Whoop! Prices return to pre

6:26

pandemic levels. And

6:29

and also the audience is in one two. Threes,

6:32

Never. Answer. Or

6:40

I consider your with the way What?

6:44

Google News reported this week that

6:46

the Department of National Defense has

6:49

openings for to decidedly non military

6:51

personnel. What's surprising time employee. Is

6:53

the Department of Defense looking to

6:55

hire. Oh My. God. I hope it's an inhouse.

6:58

Improv Coats. Data

7:02

mining lasers is

7:04

actually. My

7:07

God I hope so. It is

7:09

Not Improv coaches grits any our

7:11

I bet it's a social media

7:13

person and older so's means you

7:15

know what I mean are either

7:17

die to watch. A

7:20

nasa the say it's really up to check it.

7:23

I got tons of or is or any. With

7:25

me as I prepare to go to war. And

7:28

not an influencer seen any idea.

7:30

A. A makeup artist, Hundred

7:34

make up The correct answer is. Journalists.

7:37

Oh right. According to a

7:39

recent job posting Canada's military

7:41

needs and experienced journalist or

7:43

to was the military looking

7:45

for a few good journalists,

7:47

what's to clean up their

7:49

public image? Obviously the National

7:51

Defense scandals are really hurting

7:53

their social media numbers. I

7:55

mean, you're not entirely wrong,

7:57

is. it to train military to be

7:59

more like press savvy to like put

8:02

a better face on the military in the press? You

8:04

are correct. The Global News

8:06

headline reads, Department of National Defense wants

8:08

to hire journalists for role playing. Oh,

8:10

that's right. That's right. It's like an

8:12

improv coach. Like an improv coach. According

8:16

to the story, the D&D wants

8:18

these journalists to hold mock press

8:20

conferences to simulate media interviews. Tell

8:23

me you're not handling the allegations. Well, without

8:25

telling me you're not handling the allegations. The

8:29

journalists will ask the D&D spokespeople five

8:31

different types of questions. What five types

8:33

of questions will these journalists teach

8:35

the military spokespeople to deal with? I

8:37

know this. What? Where?

8:40

Why? When? He.

8:43

Good guess. No. Neither

8:46

French nor English. Come on. That's

8:48

right. What types of questions? Come

8:52

on. Jen? If

8:56

you were a tank, what kind of tank would

8:58

you be? Oh my God. Which

9:01

friend are you? Are you a Rachel?

9:04

Why are they called fatigues? Is it because you're so

9:06

tired of war? See

9:09

how good I would be? Easy.

9:12

They're not the types of questions they're being trained on.

9:17

The five types of questions they need to learn

9:19

to deal with. The loaded question. The

9:21

hypothetical question. The opinion

9:23

question. The statement and

9:26

the silent treatment. What

9:28

is the silent treatment in journalistic space? That's

9:30

when you drop a cue and then you

9:33

just stare. They

9:35

just go, how dare you and then just stare.

9:38

That is correct. It's basically when you ask

9:41

a question and then you just don't say

9:43

anything. So they get uncomfortable

9:45

and keep talking. That is an excellent

9:47

tactic. Yeah, I like that. The job

9:49

posting calls for journalists with national TV

9:51

or print experience. I'm

9:54

national TV experience. True. They

9:56

could hire me. I could

9:59

give you good. Barbara Walters, I could give

10:01

you Lisa LaFlamme, I could

10:03

give you Peter Man's Bridge. You told

10:05

me who you want, you got it.

10:08

They should hire you. They should. They

10:10

absolutely should. Call me. If

got Gene Yoon, Chris Adeke and Jen

10:33

Karwana. We

just released a new block of

10:38

10:43

live. It

10:53

is time for Needlessly Retacted, where we take

10:55

a clip from the news and needlessly bleep

10:57

out one of the words. This

10:59

week's clip is from a remarkable video that was

11:01

released on social media. Have a listen and see

11:03

if you can figure out the word we have

11:06

bleeped out. And

11:12

on June 14, 1946,

11:14

God looked down on his planned paradise and said, I

11:16

need a caretaker. So God gave us.

11:22

That's right. June 14, 1946, God needed a caretaker. So

11:26

God gave us what panel? The

11:30

United Nations. The

11:32

first test of the atomic bomb. We

11:34

need a... The bikinis. God gave

11:36

us the bikinis. Incorrect,

11:39

Chris. Pedro Pascal. He's

11:41

a beautiful man. He

11:44

did not give us Pedro Pascal. Gene, any

11:47

idea? June 14 is

11:49

Trump's birthday. Let's

11:52

see if you're correct. Here is what they

11:54

said. They

12:00

gave us trump. The

12:07

headline from the Independent reads:

12:09

Trump shares bizarre biblical video

12:11

saying God made him Americans

12:13

caretaker. This is

12:15

proof that God is a vengeful.

12:17

God. Trump didn't

12:20

create the video but he did shared on

12:22

True social and he screamed and add some

12:24

of his rallies. I

12:26

mean you can see why.

12:28

might appeal to him. Here's

12:30

a little bit more of

12:33

God gave us Trumbo Good

12:35

gun said. I need somebody

12:37

who's willing to drill. bring

12:39

back manufacturing and American jobs,

12:41

farm the lands, secure our

12:43

borders, Finish a hard week's

12:45

worth defending church. On Sunday.

12:47

So God gave us. Never

12:52

sinister. We weren't going to

12:55

church on Sunday. It's an odd

12:57

video. I mean, that's been a while since

12:59

I've read the Bible. But

13:03

I have. I don't recall anywhere

13:05

of there being a pirate like

13:07

and God said and the be

13:09

book drills hurry to fool around.

13:13

With a God wait until Nineteen Forty

13:15

Six. One Thousand

13:17

Nine Hundred and Forty six years ago, I made

13:19

a decision. To

13:21

is now waited long enough

13:24

flint pop this weirdo out.

13:28

A New York Times headline

13:30

reads Iowa Passers say video

13:32

depicting Trump as godly is

13:34

very concerning. I just

13:36

find it really disturbing how Trump

13:38

has snare this evangelical fucking dead.

13:41

And to find it bizarre. And

13:43

weird and scary. And enough

13:45

started way back or mm bird it

13:47

was he to sell president. There was an

13:50

article that came out that described trump

13:52

is based in bold and might as if

13:54

he was some Greek god or something. i

13:56

mean it is a bit reds deified drug

13:58

like this especially since i wager he's

14:00

broken most if not all of

14:03

the Ten Commandments multiple times.

14:05

Oh, he has. I mean, well let's just

14:07

investigate for a moment with a quick round

14:09

of broken Bible bingo. That's

14:16

the Because News Cherub Choir. You

14:19

have your Ten Commandments bingo cards in front of

14:21

you. I'm going to name one of the commandments.

14:23

You tell me if and when

14:25

America's Savior Donald Trump has broken it.

14:27

Jen, we'll start with you. Thou shalt

14:29

not covet thy neighbor's wife nor anything

14:31

that is his. Do you think Trump

14:33

has ever broken that commandment? Uh,

14:36

yeah. Like

14:39

there's at least 26 sexual

14:41

assault allegations publicly levied against

14:43

him. I'm going to say

14:45

he cracked that tablet

14:47

a long time ago. Yeah,

14:49

I'll give you a point with that. He

14:51

says in the Access Hollywood tape, she was

14:53

married and I moved on her. I can't

14:56

stop to covet. Jean Yoon, what about thou

14:58

shall not bear false witness against your neighbor?

15:00

Uh, yes, he's the biggest

15:02

liar I've ever seen. Right now, for

15:05

instance, as the case is down in

15:07

the states, Ruby Freeman

15:09

and Shay Moss, he's lied about them

15:11

over and over and Eugene Carroll over

15:13

and over and over and over and

15:15

over again. He's lied about everybody who's tried

15:18

to get in his way. And like right

15:20

now, what I find concerning is that he's

15:22

lying about the prosecutor, Jack Smith,

15:25

about, uh, some of the judges,

15:27

Chutkin Kaplan. Uh, what's

15:29

the other guy? I don't know. No one

15:31

pays as much attention to this as you

15:33

are. And they're getting swatted.

15:35

Like someone is going to get hurt. So yes,

15:39

he has broken that. According

15:42

to the Washington Post article, Donald Trump made 30,573 false

15:44

or misleading claims

15:47

during his presidency. So suffice to say

15:50

that one busted. Uh, while the exalted

15:53

tone of that God made Trump video

15:55

might be off putting to some, it

15:57

clearly wasn't that off putting to Iowans.

16:00

That's because Iowans did something bigly for Trump

16:02

this week. What did Iowa do that was

16:04

making headlines? Jean Jean

16:07

you got it. Yeah, they chose Trump

16:09

in the primary in Iowa But

16:11

there were only like 14% of

16:13

registered Republicans showed up and

16:15

half of that voted for him It's

16:19

not a landslide for an incumbent president.

16:21

It's not a landslide. Don't let them

16:24

tell you it's a landslide 49%

16:26

voted against them 51% voted for him of

16:28

the people that showed up to the convention

16:31

However, the Toronto Star headline reads Donald Trump

16:33

landslide Republicans choose the

16:35

chaos of a messy ex in Iowa

16:39

Trump had to vacate Iowa pretty quickly so he

16:41

could attend one of his many trials But

16:44

it's looking increasingly like he is going

16:46

to be the Republican nominee I

16:48

think the question is going to be whether

16:50

or not the Supreme Court decides that the

16:52

states cannot and in fact run their Elections

16:54

because he's already been Disqualified in

16:56

Colorado and in Maine and in Maine

16:59

they've already she's already actually stayed her

17:01

decision She's waiting. They're waiting for the

17:03

Supreme Court. Well that Supreme Court always does

17:05

the right thing If

17:09

he gets back into office if if

17:11

he gets back into office I don't

17:13

think that America will will be

17:15

the country we know it to be and I also think it will

17:17

have a huge Impact on the globe if the

17:19

US does elect Trump president. You can't say they

17:21

weren't warned That is because in

17:24

a recent Fox News town hall with

17:26

host John Hannity Trump described in vivid

17:28

detail Exactly what kind of a leader

17:30

he plans to be in the second

17:32

term What kind of a

17:34

leader did Trump claim he would be? He'd

17:37

be the kind of leader who makes

17:39

sure that every morning announcement will play

17:41

rock music Fridays would

17:43

be pizza lines. There would be

17:45

seven dances a year and

17:48

last period was Jean

17:54

do you know

17:57

what kind of a leader did Trump claim?

18:00

he would be. A dictator on day

18:02

one. Here is what he

18:04

said. He says, you're not going to

18:06

be a dictator, are you? I said, don't, no, no,

18:08

other than day one. We're closing the

18:10

border and we're drilling, drilling, drilling. After

18:13

that, I'm not a dictator. You were right.

18:15

She knew for the point. I thought you

18:17

were joking and she was right. Listen,

18:21

I don't

18:23

think there's anything to worry about. There's

18:25

one thing we all know about dictators

18:27

is that they always stop after day

18:29

one. Day one. Day two. He

18:32

has news. He doesn't know who it is. Hi,

18:41

That's when you need guy quill the most. Guy

19:49

Quill. It's made by men, for

19:51

men. And unlike your wife, Guy

19:53

Quill takes your mild sniffles seriously.

19:57

Thanks, Guy Quill. I feel it.

20:00

better I could maybe eat something if

20:02

someone made it for me. Gaiquil,

20:05

it's the online whimpering whaling

20:07

miles beaver-seekin' bitch medicine. That's

20:17

your big ad. For the point, what news

20:19

this week brought out a sudden need for

20:21

Gaiquil? Is it really news?

20:23

Is it Gavin? Come on, is it really news that men think that

20:25

they get more

20:30

sick than women? That's not news.

20:32

That's not news, but there was a

20:35

headline this week that said men get

20:37

more sick than women. You are correct

20:39

for the point, Christine. The headline from

20:41

the Toronto Star reads, men flu is

20:44

real and men do experience colds differently.

20:46

I knew it. I told you, Jen.

20:48

Sorry. Before we get into that, just

20:51

for a bonus point, according to the

20:53

Cambridge English Dictionary, what is the definition

20:55

of men flu? It's the

20:57

same as the regular flu, but it makes 25 cents more

20:59

on the dollar. Jean,

21:07

any idea how do they define men flu? Men flu

21:09

is a terrible disease. Only men get

21:12

it. They suffer so much. Chris,

21:15

exactly what Jean said. In

21:19

the Cambridge English Dictionary, they define man flu as

21:21

an illness such as a cold that is not

21:23

serious, but the person who has it treats it

21:25

as more serious, usually when this person is a

21:27

man. According

21:31

to science, though, men might have

21:33

good reason for complaining about their

21:35

illnesses. Studies have found they can

21:37

experience harsher flu symptoms. It's true.

21:41

According to the Toronto Star article, they

21:43

will experience harsher symptoms. Is it

21:45

because their nostrils, like their nipples, are

21:48

mostly decorative? Do

21:51

you know, Jean, why men can experience

21:53

harsher symptoms of colds and flu? I

21:55

don't know. There's some speculation that maybe

21:57

testosterone makes it worse. I don't know.

22:00

It is because men only have

22:02

one X chromosome. Oh.

22:04

And X chromosomes carry various genes

22:06

that fight diseases. Women have two

22:08

X chromosomes and therefore more disease-fighting

22:10

genes. See, it's just not fair.

22:13

We're meant. Just not fair. Women

22:15

walking around with these two X

22:17

chromosomes, expecting us to live up

22:19

to that? So

22:21

while there is physiological evidence, men can

22:24

experience harsher symptoms. There's also a sociological

22:26

reason why they tend to be so

22:28

vocal about those symptoms. What is the

22:31

sociological reason men complain so much about

22:33

being sick? Because they're used to being

22:35

listened to. Yes. Genuine,

22:38

everybody. Is

22:40

it because many men

22:42

were raised to be nurtured by

22:44

women, whereas women were raised to

22:47

nurture and push through and put

22:49

others' needs ahead of our own? That

22:51

is exactly correct. They say

22:53

our culture tends to teach men that when

22:55

they have a hardship, they should get care

22:57

from women. Yeah. This leads men to often

22:59

upsell their symptoms. Yes. I

23:02

mean, are you buying the science that men flew is

23:04

really worse? No. Gavin.

23:08

Absolutely not. I don't normally believe the

23:10

science, but in this one, I'm

23:13

on board. Chris, you just can't pick

23:16

and choose when to trust science. Oh,

23:18

you can if you live in Alberta. Sorry,

23:24

Dad. It

23:27

is a twofold thing. Possibly, yes, there can

23:29

be harsher symptoms, but also men are more

23:31

vocal about those symptoms. The Guardian headline put

23:33

it this way. If men

23:36

flew means men moaning on about a

23:38

minor symptom, then yes, men flew is

23:40

real. Now that we've established

23:42

that men are wimps when it comes to the flu,

23:44

what is it that makes women so strong? It's

23:47

because from the time we were like 11,

23:50

we've been forced to fight invaders of

23:53

our bodies off. So, you know, once

23:55

you've had to fend off your friend's

23:57

weird dad, an infection is nothing. The

24:00

flu is nothing. All

24:03

the women in the audience are like, yep,

24:05

not even funny, just true. That's why they're

24:07

quiet. Yeah. Harsh but

24:09

possibly fair. Jean, any

24:11

idea why females are better at

24:13

clearing infections? Sheer moral fart-a-toot. Chris,

24:18

I just have here women have more juices. I

24:23

think that's true. I think women are playing

24:25

with more things than dudes are. You know

24:27

what I mean? But that is

24:30

true. I mean, women were designed

24:32

to house life. So you

24:34

have to be able to fight things off

24:36

to protect things that are growing inside you.

24:38

Yeah. Correct answer for the point.

24:40

Yo. Do you need to

24:42

talk more juice? Y'all can call me Dr. J. Women

24:48

are also reported to recover twice as

24:50

fast from flu-like illnesses due to higher

24:52

estrogen levels. Cool. So

24:55

this cold and flu season, please be extra nice

24:57

to all the whiny men in your life. It's

24:59

science. Thank

25:02

you. I'm

25:13

Gavin Crawford, and this is Because News.

25:15

This week I'm joined by Jean Yoon,

25:17

Chris Siddiqui and Jan Karwana. Hear

25:21

the whole show? Subscribe to our podcast.

25:24

If you see the whole show, use

25:26

your imagination. Let's

25:32

turn to consumer news with this week's NewsGlu

25:34

panel. I want you to have a listen

25:36

to the sports play-by-play and see if you

25:38

can figure out the headline that inspired it.

25:44

And Henderson's face leapt off the line, and she

25:46

is out in front. Oh! Full body check by Susan

25:48

Sakowski. They are both

25:50

down. But here

25:52

comes Aliyah. She is on a breakaway, and

25:54

yes, she is headed to the end zone. This could be

25:56

it. She is almost there. She's

26:03

got the

26:07

top 440 ends of the

26:10

champagne most because 23 year old

26:12

Brandon Mechelchuk of Peace River is

26:14

the new Stanley Cup Champion! Alright

26:24

panel, there is your news

26:26

clue. Why? Why? Well,

26:29

the final one is going crazy this week over

26:31

the Stanley Cup and the

26:33

people chasing after it. Because

26:35

finally there's a Stanley Cup

26:38

that hockey moms can care about.

26:42

You are correct and elaborate.

26:45

So there's a cup, an insulated mug

26:47

that you can carry water, coffee around

26:50

in made by a company called Stanley

26:52

and people were going

26:55

crazy for it and

26:57

getting into fights and riots and

26:59

all that kind of thing. The LA

27:01

Times headline reads, the Stanley Cup

27:04

craze is real. What is causing

27:06

the merchandise mania? It's

27:08

a reusable metal water tumbler that has

27:10

vacuum sealed to keep things cold or

27:12

hot. The Stanley Cup gained

27:14

a lot of attention back in November

27:17

after a woman posted a video of

27:19

her Stanley Cup surviving what ordeal? Childbirth.

27:25

Good guess, Jean, what ordeal? It

27:27

was a fire, I think, in her car. You

27:30

are correct for the point, yes. Her

27:32

car got on fire and burned and then

27:34

she went back and posted a video showing

27:36

the Stanley Cup intact and still with ice

27:38

in it. That was wild. Yeah. Stanley is

27:41

a company that's been around for over a

27:43

hundred years. It's known primarily for thermoses and

27:45

camping equipment but they recently made a few

27:47

changes to their once army green tumbler that

27:50

caused it to go wild on TikTok and

27:52

Facebook. What did they do to

27:54

their fisherman thermos? They made it all sexy. They

27:57

gave it a makeover. What? they

28:00

had its colors done it turns out it's free.

28:04

They introduced a litany of different colors

28:06

and they began marketing it specifically to

28:08

women. The CBC headline reads how smart

28:10

marketing, scare supply, and unique colors made

28:12

the Stanley Cup a must-have item. The

28:15

quencher has two big features that

28:17

set it apart from other more

28:19

lame reusable tumblers. What

28:22

are the exciting features that make the Stanley

28:24

quencher so desirable? I bet you it's that

28:27

the handle and the straw. The

28:30

handle is one. Oh straw

28:32

is pretty common among quencher culture

28:35

but there is one other big thing that people... It

28:38

has two X chromosome. That's

28:42

how the may eat one. Is

28:45

that Bluetooth? I'll

28:49

give you a hint it has a handle and the

28:51

other big features that people like it makes it easy

28:53

to take with you in the car. Oh it fits

28:55

in your cup holder. You are correct for the point.

28:58

It has a tapered bottom.

29:01

The cups retail for around fifty

29:03

to sixty dollars. That's bonkers. According

29:05

to business insiders Stanley's viral cups

29:07

have become such a status symbol

29:09

that kids are getting mocked at

29:12

school for having knock-off friends. What kind

29:16

of water bottle does your kid have Chris? His

29:20

hands. Organic water

29:22

bottle man. My

29:24

kid's going old-school and raising him like a

29:27

Gen X. Does he

29:29

just carry the hose

29:31

or howl? Yeah. Was

29:35

there a trend when you were a kid like that

29:37

everyone had something that you wanted but couldn't get? Yeah

29:39

I remember in the 90s all my cool

29:42

rich white friends had roller

29:44

blades that they bought from

29:47

sporting life and

29:49

I didn't had to get

29:51

inline skates from Byway. That's

29:53

so sad. Thank you I

29:55

know. Anybody remember

29:57

Byway? Byway was like...

30:00

Oh yeah, that was like every

30:03

newly landed immigrant that was their

30:05

place to go. When I was in

30:07

grade six they had these clacker things, these like,

30:09

and you'd clack them and ding, ding,

30:11

ding. My parents weren't

30:14

going to get me one, but then they got banned.

30:16

Yes. Because some of them were

30:18

shattering and stuff. Yeah. My

30:20

son, when he was younger, he would, because

30:22

he learned how to Google

30:24

before he learned how to swim, he

30:27

would send me things from eBay saying,

30:29

this Pokemon card is so rare! Please mom,

30:31

I want it! I

30:33

want it! And he would put a Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh cards

30:35

and magic cards. And

30:37

he was just obsessed with them. My son

30:39

just wanted our love. And

30:42

you didn't give it to him! I

30:49

don't have good news and bad news. Because

30:52

the bad news is we've reached the end of

30:54

another exciting episode of Because News. The

30:57

good news is our champion is... Jan

31:00
