Sonic The Hedgehog had a glow-up this week
and the internet is finally happy.
In April, Paramount released the trailer for
a new Sonic movie and the backlash
did not collect them any rings.
Most fans hated the way Sonic looked,
they thought he might trip over his shoelaces
and that his teeth were really creepy.
♪ [ dramatic ]
Now get this, Paramount took all the feedback,
delayed the movie and literally went
right back to the drawing board.
And now Sonic looks so much better
and just...
more Sonic-y.

Now that's what I call a hedgehog.
Paramount listened but do stories like this
encourage call-out culture?
I mean, are fans going too far with their demands
for changes every time they see things they don't like?
And hey, no matter what Sonic looks like,
Canada's Jim Carrey looks perfect as the evil Dr Robotnik.
- Oh! Give me a big fat break!

When I'm shopping, I can be a grouch.
If I need your help, I'll ask for it, cool?
That's why this viral post from a Sephora shopper
in Europe really caught my attention.
You grab the red basket if you want assistance [ding]
and if you want to shop alone,
you take the black basket. [ding]
Reaction to this system was pretty positive because
who hasn't heard,
"Do you need any help with anything?"
like 800 times?
But some people think sales associates can never win.
If they help you, they're annoying
if they don't help you, they're not doing their jobs.
We've confirmed that this system
is not coming to North America anytime soon,
but for the record, I will always choose the black basket.

- Hey there. Is there a project you're working on?
I know more than you.
Canada made international news last weekend because
of the fallout from Don Cherry's Coach's Corner segment,
you heard what happened.
Cherry went off about new Canadians not wearing poppies.
- You people love...
they come here, whatever it is,
you love our way of life, you love our milk and honey,
at least you could pay a couple of bucks
for poppies or something like that.
It felt like everyone had an opinion about this.
Some demanded that he be fired for singling out immigrants,
others sided with him, saying his message
was about supporting veterans.
All of this was definitely more
intense than the game that night.
Ultimately, Sportsnet and Ron MacLean offered an apology.
But Cherry did not and would not do the same.
Soon after, he was fired and now he's changed his tune a bit.
Yes, I think I should have used the word "everybody,"
instead of "you people."
So, families have been watching
Hockey Night in Canada
what will they see on Coach's Corner now?

Hey everyone, what's up?
Okay, so I know Billie Eilish is back
and the hype is real at your school.
Uhm, yeah, she just released a new song
and we just can't get enough of it.
It's her first single after her debut album
"When We All Fall Asleep Where Do We Go?"
and it's called "Everything I Wanted."
And after listening to it I can definitely say it's
everything I wanted.

Us fans loved her iconic "Billie" sound.
And I really like the part where she says,
"I tried to scream but my head was under water."
It really sounded like she was actually under water.
What do you think the song is about?
Billie says it's about a bunch of different things
and I honestly agree.
There's definitely a lot of different themes.
Like for example, the downside of fame.
But the one message that really stood out to me was
that he bond between her and her brother is unbreakable.
And also, that they'll always be there for each other.
I had no idea that was the meaning.
It just sounds like she's in her feels...again
My poor heart.
No, that's what us fans love about it -
she's such a story teller.
Her lyrics are deep and personal
and it allows us to connect with her.
And in less than 24 hours the video got
4.9 million views!
Speaking of new music,
a lot of the music I've been listening to lately
is from TikTok.
Yeah, same.
Like, you know what's one song
that's been really buzzing in the halls?
Yellow Hearts by Ant Saunders.
I have heard that one.
But the one that is catchy for me is Lottery by K Camp.
You mean the one that goes, "Renegade, renegade, renegade?"
Yes, but you promise you're
doing the dance with me, right?

You're going to start hearing this word a lot more:
In September, the U.S. government started
the impeachment process which could...could lead to
Republican President Donald Trump
getting kicked out of office.
Impeachment is a formal charge
of misconduct against someone who holds public office.
Democrats are trying to make the case
that Trump has abused his power for personal, political gain.
It's a long process, but this week,
things ramped up with televised impeachment hearings.
This hasn't happened in 20 years.
Go ask your parents what went down last time.
I tried to tune in, but it felt like this:
[speaks in gibberish]
So we posted an explainer and you should check that out.
No U.S. president has actually ever
been removed from office by impeachment.
Whatever the outcome, I'm sure everyone will remain calm
and not post angry tweets.

Well, it happened.
Disney+ launched its streaming service this week
and I was one of the millions that signed up.
Yes, I know, it's another $8.99 a month and I'm already
paying for Netflix but I just had to check it out.
And I've been answering a lot of questions
from a lot of different people.
Can you share your password?
Technically, yes? I can have up to 7 profiles on one account,
but I'm keeping those in-house for now.
you can pay for your own!
But is everything streaming okay?
Oh, I did have one movie,
just one, that stopped streaming 8 minutes before the end.
That was annoying.
And I know other people had problems too.

What don't you like?
Well, some of their shows are releasing episodes weekly
instead of all at once,
so you can't binge watch.
But I have to admit, it's a smart way
to keep us hooked.
What are you binging, girl?
Should I admit it?
I've been watching a lot of stuff,
including Disney Shorts and High School Musical.
