NEW - Four Pieces of IKEA. Still Engaged. It's Good News.

Good News Tuesday opens with a genuine relationship milestone: assembling four pieces of IKEA furniture in a single afternoon and coming out the other side still engaged. The research backs up why that counts. Psychologists have found that picture-only instructions force constant compromise, trigger questions of trust and competence, and surface exactly how differently two people approach a problem under pressure. One therapist called a particular shelf the divorce maker. Seventeen percent of adults report arguing during furniture assembly.   The conversation pulls in Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney doing the same thing for GQ, a grandfather's engraved Chrysler screwdriver that survived thirty years on the line and apparently outlasted the company's gift-giving culture, and the observation that once IKEA furniture is built, you never take it apart again. Ever.   Good news is where you find it. Sometimes it's a TV stand and a time-lapse video of everything going wrong.   Topics: IKEA furniture assembly, relationship psychology, Good News Tuesday, couples and stress, good news Canada Originally aired on 2026-06-09

Good News Is There. Artemis 3 and More Good News Tuesday.

Good News Tuesday is built on a simple idea: when you can't find the good, sometimes hearing it from someone else is enough to turn you around. This one brings the next NASA moon crew, a child in Nanaimo doing something remarkable at three in the morning, a stolen car with a very large dog in the back, and a string of transformative philanthropic gifts to Canadian healthcare and universities.   When people say the country is struggling and generosity is gone, the Weston family's forty-one million dollar gift to Sunnybrook and Simon Fraser University's record forty million dollar donation from the Stevens family suggest otherwise. The good is there. It usually is.   A listener named Kevin from Winnipeg figured that out once. This is the segment that convinced him.   Topics: Good News Tuesday, Artemis III, Canadian philanthropy, community stories, good news Canada Originally aired on 2026-06-09

SHIFTHEADS: A Good Friend to Remember and One Line To Never Forget

Vancouver police Sergeant Craig Reynolds was forty-eight when he died. Bob Addison was at the funeral, and one moment at the very end, a single line from the MC, stopped him cold. This is a Good News Tuesday that earns the name the hard way: through loss, through eight hundred people in a church, and through a life that clearly mattered to everyone it touched. Then the conversation shifts to something lighter. World Cup fever is hitting Vancouver, and Addison is already planning to soak it in, tickets or not. The city's got the ball, the buzz, and the visitors who flew halfway around the world just to be somewhere it's happening. Plus: the keepie-uppie guy who walked from the CN Tower to Niagara Falls on two rebuilt knees and somehow made it look like a good idea.

Half of Canadian Couples Fight About This Nightly

Couples and food decisions have a numbers problem: research cited by relationship writer Jen Kirsch puts decision paralysis over dinner at about half of all Canadian couples, and Tony Tedesco says the question underneath the question is almost always about who is carrying the load. Date night gets into the mechanics of why this keeps happening and what to do about it. The friction builds quietly. One partner checks out of the decision, the other picks up the slack, and eventually the resentment has nothing to do with whether it's tacos or pasta. Kirsch and Tedesco both name what makes the difference: someone stepping up, saying they've got it, and meaning it. Dinner turns out to be one of the few moments in a shared day when two people actually come together, and what happens in that window sets the tone for everything else.

NEW - Robots in Your iPhone - Robots Climbing Mountains

Tech journalist Kris Abel joins Good News Tuesday with three stories that land differently depending on how optimistic you are about the future. Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference revealed a new Siri built on Google's Gemini technology, with longer conversations, better task planning, and customisable voice and pacing. Apple Intelligence is also reaching back to support iPhones as old as the iPhone 11. Whether any of it lives up to the announcement is, as Abel puts it, something to believe when you see it.   Meanwhile, Chinese robotics company Unitree is having a remarkable week. Eight of their humanoid robots performed as a dance troupe on America's Got Talent, another appeared in news coverage outside a Knicks playoff game, and a third scaled a volcano in Ecuador. The company is now preparing a Mount Everest attempt.   Waze and Google are throwing FIFA World Cup scores and player stats onto your screen while you're stopped at a light. Good News Tuesday has officially gone full robot.   Topics: Apple Intelligence, Siri AI, Unitree humanoid robots, Waze FIFA World Cup, Google Gemini   GUEST: Kris Abel | krisabel.com Originally aired on 2026-06-09
