Half of Canadian Couples Fight About This Nightly

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

ICYMI - Your Memory Is Lying to you. One Word Might Have Done It.

Cognitive bias researcher and author Davis Carbo joins to unpack one of the most unsettling findings in psychology: changing a single word in how an event is described can make people remember things that never happened. The Loftus and Palmer car crash study from the seventies proved it, and the implications reach into every conversation, news story, and relationship in your life. Carbo walks through how the brain handles thirty-five thousand decisions a day, why ninety-five percent of them happen on autopilot, and what that means for the moments you think you are choosing freely. From Jaws emptying beaches to a fake doctor's waiting room where strangers teach each other to stand up for no reason, the patterns are everywhere once you know how to see them. The question isn't whether bias is shaping your decisions. It's whether you want to know how.

NEW - What’s On Your Mind: Aaron Rand CJAD 800 Montreal

Aaron Rand, host at CJAD Montreal, joins to break down the political moment Quebec finds itself in heading toward an October election. The Parti Québécois, whose signature issue is separation, is pushing a referendum that almost nobody in Quebec wants, and their latest move is asking Ottawa for forty billion dollars to opt out of the planned high speed rail corridor connecting Quebec City to Toronto.   Support for separation in Quebec is at its lowest point in thirty years. The high speed rail debate is real, the expropriation concerns are legitimate, and Canada's reputation for scenic trains that arrive whenever they feel like it is apparently well earned.   The conversation opens on lotto tickets, jackpot fantasies, and what it actually means to go straight to the airport with no bags and no plan. Aaron Rand has had the answer ready for years.   Topics: Quebec election, Parti Québécois, high speed rail Canada, Quebec separation, FIFA World Cup Montreal   GUEST: Aaron Rand | cjad800.com Originally aired on 2026-06-09
