This is a CBC podcast. Because News... With Gavin Crawford. Alright.

Hello everybody. I'm Gavin Crawford. Welcome to Because News, Canada's funniest news quiz. on the panel this week, three people who switched to rotating strikes, so they'll only deliver some punchlines.

That's accurate. In the first chair, he's only here because he thought the CBC had become a spirit Halloween. Sail out of the slightly disappointed Brad and Ash,

promise. Aww. How far away was that? Aww.

In the middle chair, she's got a plan to save all 30 Marine land belugas, but she's gonna need everyone's bathtub From the Great Canadian Baking Show, it's host Ann Pornell.

Let's get wet. And finally, he knows 10 reasons why the Pope condemned clickbait this week, and number six will blow your mind. Get ready for Miguel Reavis.

Salutations, Gavin. All right, panel, are you ready to make some games out of the news? out of the news. Yasss!

Yasss! Yes! Yes! Yes!

Yes! Then let's begin. Here we go! Yeah!

It is a complicated world panel. Will machines take over? Will the peace plan hold? Is democracy passe?

So many questions floating around in the media, and yet this week, many news outlets were asking a different foundational question. For the point, what big question was Canada asking itself this week? The age-old question, when will Miss Vicki's make a chip that is flavored like the Timmy's

double-double? Hmm. Brandon? The eternal question of, do you ever feel like a plastic bag?

Drifting through the wind, wanting to start again. You're correct for the point. Cryptic, though it was. The headline from Global News is,

Are Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry dating? Yeah, everyone else loves this. The relationship no one wanted to fend. That's right, our former prime minister was photographed last weekend with the pop star

and the pose they struck confirmed pretty conclusively that they are a couple. What classic relationship pose were the two caught in? They reenacted the cover from Rumors by Fleetwood Mac. Or someone standing on someone else's.

It's a good cover. It was sexy as hell. Yeah. I thought the cover that they were doing was the ghost one,

where they're doing sensual pottery. And they just got like a wet ball of clay between their fingies, and everyone is uncomfortable. I thought it was like a recreation

of the cover of Janet Jackson's 1993 album, Janet. But like, Katie is grabbing Justin's boobs from behind. And he's just like, yeah. All great guesses, panel.

The correct answer, according to the Toronto Star, photo show Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry kissing on a yacht off California. Disgusting.

Oh, I saw it. I like it. You saw the pic and you liked it? I liked it.

Ooh, the sexiest part is probably Justin Trudeau wearing full length jeans. That's what I was going to say. On a yacht.

You know when you dream of going on a yacht and you're with a babe of the other sex and they're wearing a bathing suit and you're wearing wet, heavy jeans?

Oh my god. He's living the dream. You can take the man from French Canada. But you can't take the French Canada out of the man.

It just gave me the ick, because they were giving the vibes of those high school. In my high school, there were the weird kids. They weren't bad kids.

They were just a little bit weird. And then they got a boyfriend and a girlfriend, and they wouldn't stop making out in the hallway. And any time you guys were like, can you not?

They were like, how dare you not be so sex positive? Don't try to censor us. And you're like, chill, I don't I don't want to see your slobber, man.

I don't do it. Do you think that in a way he's trying to like, he's following his father's playbook. So he was like, okay, I was Prime Minister.

Okay. Oh, now I'm going to date a pop star. Because Pierre did the same thing with Barbara Streisand. Right?

What? Yeah. It's all in her book. And she talks exclusively.

She was just like, I'm so proud of Justin. You know, he could have been my son. Oh, wow. The way we were.

The way we are. You are the wind beneath my wing. No, that's not her. That's Bet.

That's Bet Midler. Get it right. Yeah, Bet Midler would have never dated Pierre Trudeau. No.

Pritchie and yes. Yeah, maybe. The photos were taken from far away, but there was no mistaking it was Trudeau.

Something made him instantly recognizable. What made it so easy to identify Trudeau as Katy Perry's mystery man? The matching denim song peeking out

from his jeans like a little whale tail. I was gonna say suspicious tan. Hmm. Hmm.

Hmm. Hmm. You can see his tattoo. You can see the hide a tattoo on his shoulder.

Hmm. Justin and Katie went on their first date in Montreal back in July. Can you guess or do you know what they did

on their classic Montreal date? Miguel. Oh, I know this. They joined a drum circle on Mount Royale.

They took out their shirts and put on hemp necklaces and joined a drum circle and stop wearing deodorant. I think they went to probably St. Hubert.

And their waiter kept coming back with the wrong order. And then the waiter came back as a baby. And they're like, what is going on? And then the real waiter came back

and then pointed at the camera. And they were like, that's for last dance. Ba, ba, ba, ba, da. I fell for it.

Just pour ria. It was good. I'm going to give you a point for saying Mount Royal. Miguel because they did go for a dog walk around Mount Royal Park and then had dinner at a restaurant.

Who was dog? Where was the dog? What did they do with the dog? The dog wasn't at the restaurant. Katy Perry has a little dog. Did she leave the dog in the car?

Oh boy. I'm done with Katy Perry. Katy Perry's not a great person. I told you.
