Science confirms it: Trump is taking years off our lives

Jacqueline Furlin-Smith, a 40-year-old former Canadian military trainer, moves to Costa Rica to follow her dreams, but in the summer of 2021, vanishes without a trace. How can a woman just go missing and us put out all that effort to find her? And she's still missing. I'm David Rigen and this is someone knows something season 10, the Jacqueline Furlin-Smith case. Available now on CBC Listen and wherever you get your podcasts. This is a CBC Podcast. Because News with Gavin Crawford. Incredible. Hello everyone. Welcome to Because News Canada's funniest news quiz. I am Gavin Crawford and if you are wondering why I sound more laid back and like I'm wearing a Patagonia fleece, it's because we are taping the show in Vancouver this week. So why not welcome this week's panel. She was so excited to hear Venezuela defeated the United States until she found out it was in baseball. It's in Propqueen, Caitlin Howden. Hi. Welcome. Thanks for having me. In the middle chair, he wanted to take a lift to the show tonight, but gas prices are so high it was cheaper to just pay a guy to carry him here. Biggie backing onto the news, it's Kevin Vidal. Hello, that guy was my husband. Very chivalrous of him. And finally, he was supposed to be on the Joe Rogan podcast, but he got bumped by some B-level politician. So he's here with us instead, direct from the Manosphere. It's Ivan Deckard. That guy was Kevin's husband. We are taping the show in beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia, where even the rivers are atmospheric. So get ready to test your knowledge of headlines from the land of Orcas and condos and weed. Oh my. First up, Taylor Swift fans, who attended her shows in Vancouver learned this week, they may be entitled to something special. What could some Vancouver Taylor Swift fans be getting? Kevin, real taste. Kevin. We're going to put that on the internet, so you're going to be dead. Ivan, what might some Vancouver Taylor Swift fans be getting? Exclusive wedding picks in the group chat. Very good guest, Caitlin. She's going to make everyone a loaf of sourdough. Everyone, the correct answer is refunds. They're going to get refunds because Stubhub apparently failed to disclose accurate information about the tickets in certain sections. What was it about sections 219-236 and 418-437 that Stubhub did not disclose? Kevin. You could actually hear her singing. Oh man, yeah. Even people with that answer are like enough. Caitlin, what did they not disclose? Oh, that section, I know that section. Those seats are always wet. You can draw them all you want. They're going to be wet. Yes. They are, in fact, very obstructed view seats. Those sections were either beside or behind the stage. So I guess before you buy any FIFA tickets on Stubhub, make sure the seats aren't actually underneath of the field. Speaking of FIFA, was 7 of the World Cup games set to be played right here in Vancouver? Airbnb is offering an incentive to get Vancouverites to rent out their houses to World Cup visitors. What is Airbnb giving people who sign up? A future lawsuit. You get to appear in court. Very exciting. That is a very good guess. Any other guesses? Money? Caitlin had it for the point. It is money. The headline from 604 now reads, "Air B&B will pay Vancouver residents $1,000 if they rent out their homes for the FIFA World Cup." The bonus is only for new listings of entire homes, but there is a catch for Vancouver residents. What is the catch? Maybe that, like, you can't choose who stays at your house, like no screening. It's just like, whoever shows up shows up. But also, they don't know where they're staying until they show up. It's like, love is blind. But for Airbnb. It is not. The catch is that the city of Vancouver has an Airbnb registration fee that runs up to $1,000. Finally, in other BC news, Canada may have been elbows up lately with the US, but that has not stopped BC's Louis Vuitton from flaunting international law. Louis Vuitton has been crossing US-Canada border without permission several times a day, incredibly, without raising the suspicions of border guards. How is Louis Vuitton getting away with this? I mean, I don't want to divulge this, but he's riding his mountain bike through the bushes and point Roberts. To go get bottle rockets. The correct answer is he is a cat. The audience has read this new story, obviously. The headline from CTV News, "Canadian border jumping cat becomes local legend in BC community." Louis, if fluffy cat has been spotted jumping back and forth over a small ditch, that is the only thing separating Surrey BC from Blaine Washington. I don't know if that's the only thing separating. Then probably some personality differences, maybe health care, but literacy rates? Yeah, but also a small ditch. Louis Vuitton has become a bit of a social media star. Here is a post by one of his online fans. There's a cat that doesn't really give a f*ck about borders and he comes over and hunts the ditch. There he is! What's up buddy? Louis! Was that all the same person? Yeah, that was one clip. My favorite thing is that man code switched. Like you would not believe. He was like, "Yeah, I'm just a dude." Cat! Kitty! You guys want to come over for a beer or something? Watch the game. Kitty! Hi Kitty! I love you, Kitty. You look great in the cool kidman. That's good. Because news. Canada's news quiz with Gavin Crawford. First game the pandemic, then AI, followed by Radon Gas. Now the media has given us another existential threat. According to the Guardian newspaper panel, something that many of us experience daily may be shortening our lifespan. What is the newest threat to a long and healthy life? It's a developed prefrontal cortex. It's killing us! Yeah, Kevin? Yeah, the newest threat is my husband leaving his clothes on the floor. To his long and healthy lifestyle. Is it outdoor public crying? It is not. Is it just the news in general? In fact, the Guardian headline reads, "Now we have proof. Dealing with difficult people really does age you." That's right. Difficult people is the correct answer. Sorry, everybody. According to the National Academy of Sciences, if you are in regular contact with just one difficult person, you will age 1.5% faster than you otherwise would have. To put that into perspective, can you guess how much time each difficult person in your life removes from your lifespan? I think it's the time it takes to explain the alternative milks at a coffee shop. So roughly a half an hour off your life for each difficult person? Yes. Kevin, how long do you think a difficult person takes off your life? I actually think I know this. They made a musical about it. 525,600 minutes. Caitlin? I want to say four years, which is also known as 48 months. Now, not even minutes. It is in fact nine months. Nine months per difficult person. -Oh, no. -Which apparently means I died about a week ago. [ Laughter ] -That's a good life. -There you go. -In the study, these difficult people are known as "hasslers." According to the study, what makes someone a "hassler"? -Yeah, they leave their clothes on the floor. [ Laughter ] -No, actually, this has been scientifically proven to identify a "hassler" at someone who is standing outside of a Skytrain station holding a clipboard. [ Laughter ] -The audience agrees. They say, "Efficially, a "hassler" is someone who takes more than they give." -Oh, this audience knows a "couple" "hassler," eh? -Mmm, knowing "mm"s. -Participants in the study say they encountered "hasslers" within their family, also at work, and with roommates, and also one other relationship, which was particularly "hassly." -Hot stepsibling! [ Laughter ] -Oh, he's hassling me. -People who text you on the day of the party saying they're not going to be able to make it. -I'm sorry, David. [ Laughter ] -He was picking up his husband's clothes! [ Laughter ] -He's never, never, never. [ Laughter ] -The correct answer, the fourth category, neighbors. [ Audience groans ] -Oh, an audience full of people who have hassling neighbors or who are hassling neighbors. -CBC News reports that if the hassler happens to be your parent, there is something you can say to them to make things better. [ Laughter ] -What did this expert suggest you say to your parents to get them to be less difficult? -Yeah, I'd like to know the answer to this as well. [ Laughter ] -Ken? Is it, uh, your right? It was just a phase. [ Laughter ] [ Cheers and applause ] -Gorning to the expert in the article, they suggest you remind your parents that you're an adult and you'll ask for their advice if it's needed. [ Laughter ] -I don't think whoever wrote that has parents. [ Laughter ] -Clearly not. Has that ever worked for anyone? -No, no, no. -Yeah, now you're asking for a time out. [ Laughter ] -I get grounded for a week. -Yeah, that'd be awesome, actually. -It'd be a lot to be grounded. -According to the research, a lot of hasslers are drawn to one particular group of people. Which group experiences the most hasslers? -Women! [ Cheers and applause ] -Kevin Blacks. [ Laughter ] -Ivan? -Yeah. -Can't wait for this one. [ Laughter ] -I mean -- -Me of my time. [ Laughter ] -Ivan, you know it's white Christians. [ Laughter ] -Katelyn Howard and gets the point. It is Impact Women. [ Cheers and applause ] -Yeah, it's the win we don't want. -That's the W we don't want, right? That's the W. -Yes, in the study they say in part, because they are often more empathetic and take on other's stress. -Yeah. -Ritrious odds in them feeling hassled. -In order to guard yourself against hasslers, just to find a word of advice, the Guardian suggests simply cutting ties or looking into therapy. [ Laughter ] Which is good advice for everyone, especially right now, when one hassler, in particular, is taking gears off of everyone's life. [ Laughter ] For a point, who has been responsible for billions and billions of premature gray hairs across the globe? -Gates? No, Zuckerberg. No. -Basos? No. Michael Rappaport. No. Putin? No. Elon? No. Epstein? No. Beebe? No. Donald. -You're correct for the points. [ Cheers and applause ] One of those. -A global male headline reads, "Our Trumps threats making you anxious. Here are six ways to cope." Feel like we need a few more? Then six? This week, the American president was making headlines after his excursion in Iran didn't go as well as hopes. -Excusion. -That is because of one specific straight. What straight is messing up Trump's plans? [ Laughter ] [ Cheers and applause ] I mean, what straight is messing up Trump's plans? -Jorooka. [ Laughter ] Does anyone know for real the name of the straight that is messing up his plans? -It's the straight-up hormones. -You're correct for the point, Caitlin Howden. It is the straight-up hormones. It's a strange, tepid applause. [ Laughter ] She got the point, but I feel conflicted. Don't worry, everyone is in the same -- Well, no one's in the boat right now, but -- [ Laughter ] It's not safe. So with the straight-up hormones effectively closed, because the war oil is not moving, so prices are rising. Trump demanded this week that ally nations send battleships to escort the tankers through the strait. How did the allies respond to his call for help? [ Laughter ] -New phone. Who does? [ Laughter ] -You're correct. [ Laughter ] -Yes. They initially all said, "New?" [ Laughter ] "Why would they do that?" -I think they were going on like -- "You smelt it, you dealt it, rules?" You know? -Yeah, because it's crazy. [ Laughter ] It's like literally crazy to be like, "Hey, can you escort these oil tankers so we can sell you the oil?" It's like your landlord being like, "Can you help me with my printer? I need to print you an eviction notice." [ Laughter ] Yeah. The headline from the Globe and Mail reads, "The Trump calls his friends losers only to be surprised when no one comes to his party." [ Laughter ] I mean, we're to call it a party, but you do you Globe and Mail? [ Laughter ] [ Cheers and applause ] -I am Gavin Crawford here with Ivan Deckard, Caitlin Howden, and Kevin Bedouc. [ Cheers and applause ] -The way the fertilizer is said to spike, so it's nice to know all this BS will be worth something. [ Laughter ] [ Cheers and applause ] [ Music ] -Hi, I'm Jamie Poisson, and I host the Daily News Podcast, Frontburner, and lately, I'll see a story about, I don't know, political corruption or something, and think, during a normal time, we'd be talking about this for weeks, but then it's almost immediately overwhelmed by something else. On Frontburner, we are trying to pull lots of story threads together so that you don't lose a plot, so you can learn how all these threads fit together. Follow Frontburner wherever you get your podcasts. [ Laughter ] -Penal, it is time for a News Clue. That's right. This week's News Clue comes to you in the form of a classic cooking show. Have a listen to the late-grade Julia Childs, and be ready if you will for questions. [ Music ] -I'm Julia Childs, and today we're making a classic French staple with a twist. It's a simple recipe with just salt, heavy cream, and a great pair of running shoes. Today, I'm wearing hawkers, because I'm quite tall and have a tendency to topple. Look, the only tricky part of this recipe is the timing. So far I've run two kilometers, but I'll need a good six more to really get the consistency. Right. We'll be back after these messages, and hopefully I'll be ready to spread. -Whoopnapete. Wow! [ Cheers and applause ] -Where did you find that clip? -It's online. -Wow, that's incredible. I forgot that she always talks about how tall she is, and how she's ready to topple over. -All right. Penal, you heard that News Clue. Thanks to TikTok, Fitness, and Cooking have finally come together. Can you guess which classic French dish, Julien, was making in that clip that was making headlines this week? -I do know what she was making for real. -Great. -I think she was making butter. -Your correct! -Yeah. -With points. Indeed, it was butter that she was making. Salt, heavy cream, and a pair of running shoes. The reason why, according to the CBC News headline, people are churning butter on runs. We're sorry to be the ones to tell you this. [ Laughter ] Read the complete headline. That's right. Runners are using their workouts to make butter. I didn't think they could get more annoying. [ Laughter ] (audience cheering) - How do you make butter on a run? - Butter is famously milk and sweat. So they cover their bodies in a milk product and then they run as fast as they can and then when the run is over, they use one of those ice cream scoops and they just scrape it off their body. (audience laughing) You're the ones eating it you guys. - How they actually do it is by strapping bags filled with heavy cream and salt to their bodies while they run. - So I wasn't too far off with that sweat thing, was I? - No, as the jogger runs, the milk fats bond and solidify. Once you strain the liquid, you've got ready to eat butter at the end of your run. They even have a cute name for these butter runs. What is the name joggers have given to running while making butter? - Base celerators. (audience laughing) - Amish Crossfit. (audience laughing) - They call it churning and burning. - Pretty good. - No one is churn and burn. The trend started getting popularity when a woman from Oregon, well of course. - Yeah. (audience laughing) - There it is. - To send it there. The trend started getting popularity when a woman from Oregon posted a video of her butter run. Why does she say she doesn't? Why does she do it well? She had too many friends. (audience laughing) - Here is that Oregon runner. - You may be asking yourself, why? - Or who question is, why not? (audience laughing) - I can think of a lot of reasons why not. - I can give you a couple why nots, they're Janice? - Also why didn't ask why? - Yeah, so. - I mean with butter reaching upwards of nine bucks in some places are you willing to run for an hour to churn your own butter? - Well actually yeah maybe. (audience laughing) - That's only nine bucks an hour, that's a bad way. (audience laughing) Any other chore you'd like to combine with exercise? - I like to bring my dirty dishes to the public swimming pool. (audience laughing) - And I have like a net, I put them in a drag net behind me. (audience laughing) And then I do a front crawl. - And then whichever ones aren't smashed completely, I get to taste chloriney goodness in my coffee the next morning. - I think that's a genius idea. Like I was thinking why not take my laundry and a tide pod down to an aquafit class? (audience laughing) - Yeah. While I do karate I actually wax my car. (audience laughing) - It's a cushion, it's a cushion. (audience applauding) - Because news, Canada's news quiz. (upbeat music) - Penal, there is no news like billionaire news and these days that seems like all of the news. (audience laughing) In a simpler time the rich collected famous paintings or vintage cars, but as CTV News recently reported, the wealthy are now bidding on something entirely different. For a point what is the new trend in high end collectibles? - Oh while dingin' on that, that is the new high end collectible immigrants. (audience laughing) - Are they collecting immigrants? - Yeah, they got to catch 'em all. - I don't know if that was bad. (audience laughing) I mean I know it's bad but you know what I mean. Very good guess, incorrect. - Okay, okay. - I think they're collecting endangered animals. Kind of the same vein, you know like they want the last of it. So they're like it's mine, I'll have a whale. (audience laughing) The correct answer is dinosaur bones. (audience laughing) Someone in the audience is scandalized. (audience laughing) The CTV News headline reads, "Try Saratop Skeleton, "Tray to hit the auction block "as dinosaur market soars." (audience laughing) The pre-awction estimate for Tray's skeleton is four and a half to five and a half million dollars. The fossil has been hailed for its exceptional completeness. - Wow. How complete? How complete is it? - Exceptional eat. (audience laughing) Another factor that increases this fossil's value is that it's been on continuous loan and public exhibition at a museum for three decades. - Wouldn't that make it less valuable? 'Cause it's been out. - No, the wine's been opened. It makes it better. - No, it was a star attraction at the museum, but that's all over now, sorry kids. (audience laughing) - So they're taking the dinosaur from the museum and they're giving it to someone? - Yeah, now it's gonna be in the Kardashians bathroom. Concerns have been raised about the emergence of private dinosaur collecting. - Yeah, yeah. - There are concerns. What is the big concern? - Maybe that it makes people like a little bit less relatable? (audience laughing) - I liked you until I knew you had a dinosaur in your play. - Just change things, like the way I look at you. - Ivan, do you know what is the concern with private dinosaur collecting? - Well, I think they're mad that like the scientists can't study it anymore, but I feel like they had their chance. (audience laughing) - It's been a long time. - It's been a long time. - Ivan, look at it, these bones, man, anything. I think that was like 20 years ago that I got it feathers. They really tried to jazz it up, get us interested again. Like, "Ah, feathers, huh?" Anybody wanna come see 'em? - You're wearing a dinosaur pin right now. Do you like dinosaur? Are you a dinosaur guy? - Yeah, I think it's cool that they were here for a really long time and I think I just want to acknowledge that they were here a lot longer than we're gonna be. (audience laughing) This is their planet. - That's a nasty attitude. (laughing) - They couldn't tell time. We don't know how long they were here for. - Yeah, that's true. - You're right, you're right. - You're right, they could tell time. We don't know. They might have invented daylight saving time. (audience laughing) And we're just correcting that now. (audience laughing) - Thank you, Premier Evey, you're really doing a job. (audience laughing) - Focusing was an issue, but who would it be? - Oh, my God. (audience laughing) - The big concern is that public museums are being totally priced out of the exploding dinosaur market. (audience laughing) - What will all the dino obsessed kids do now? - Well, 'cause we're gonna have to like go to somebody's house now to see a dinosaur. - Yeah, and I feel like, "Hey, hey, hey, you wanna see a dinosaur? "Can you go follow me?" - Yeah. - I gotta go to some of my house. - Yeah, you're like, "Oh, I'd like to go see a dinosaur. "It's an Abillionaire's house." - Nope. (audience laughing) - That's a hard no. - Wow. (audience laughing) - Well, if kids can't look at dino bones, at least the museums still have art. And as everyone knows, kids love classical art. (audience laughing) In fact, one 77 year old museum curator in Washington has decided to take it upon herself to attract the younger crowd to art galleries. Can you tell me, how is she getting the youth interested in classical art? - Yeah, I heard that they were gonna change all the paintings so that they're vertical. (audience laughing) - You're not far off. It does kind of have to do with TikTok and social media. - If they don't like something, they can swipe left. (audience laughing) - That would be cool. What happened in the Mona Lisa? - Hmm, they. - Timmy swiped. - Then why get through much? - The Vice Headline reads, a 77 year old museum curator is using Gen Z slang to reach young people. It's working. - Oh. - Art curator, Allison Luxe videos, have been viewed over eight million times. - Whoa. - Wow. - In these videos, she stands in front of artwork and describes them using Gen Z slang. Here she is, for example, talking about some tin glazed earthenware by 16th century Italian artist Aracio Pompei. - Shut up, people this bus and clay dish from the 16th century made in the workshop of an Italian Riz Learn and Aracio Pompei. (audience laughing) - I love her. (audience laughing) - Now obviously we're all familiar with Aracio Pompei, but perhaps the youth are not. That's where she comes in. In another viral video, Luxe describes an Egyptian urn that doesn't look like much, but is actually very important. How does she say it doesn't look like much, but is actually very important in Gen Z slang? (audience laughing) - Oh, come stand the urn, fam. (audience laughing) - Very good try. Kevin, this is your chance to be, um, (audience laughing) how do you think she describes it? - For sure, I know, yeah, she describes it as, yo, slip this fam. Check the Riz on the glaze. (audience laughing) - I'm just gonna say a bunch of their slang in a row and I hope it makes sense. This urn is low-key aura, vibes, actually huge, literal mood. (audience laughing) (audience laughs) You know what? I'm gonna give you a point for that. (audience laughs) Because here is what the curator said. - Haters will say this urn is mid, but they don't know we've blocked its tea. This scoded red purple stone called porphyry was yunked out of the mountain in ancient Egypt. - Yonked out of the mountain? - I love that the idea of mining is yonking. (audience laughs) What are you studying at this university? Yonking, minerals and rocks? Yonking them? How do you yonking them? You got to see that new pod ash? Yonked they're puttin' in? - Well your grandfather died while yonking him up? - No. - Hey you want to see the new movies? No white and the seven yonkers? (audience laughs) And you know what? Everyone is getting on on the action, not just the head curator. In fact, she brought in a fellow curator who goes by the name Zadi Harry to give his take on Edward Hopper's 1939 oil on canvas work Cape Cod evening. - Now that one slaps. - That's one. - It does. In fact, slap. In the painting, there is a woman looking over at her husband with severe disdain. Although that's not how Zadi Harry describes it. How does Zadi Harry describe the woman looking at her husband with disdain? - Check out the drip on that clam chowder! (audience laughs) Wait till you hear Zadi Harry. Here he is. - The couple, they're in a swag gap relationship, absolutely speedrunning divorce. Mama has the XO badge. She looks like she's about to legit unalive her husband. (audience laughs) - Yes, that's right. The correct answer was Mama has the XO badge. She looks like she's legit about to unalive her husband. Which I cannot believe none of you got. (audience laughs) Could it be the CBC is out of touch with you? (audience laughs) - Oh, wow. (audience laughs) - Out with that, we come to the end of another exciting because news. Our champion this week is Caitlin Howdy. (audience cheers) Congratulations, Caitlin. You're on the honor of reading our credits.
