That small coiled wire running down a TV broadcaster's neck has a real purpose, and it is also exactly what caused one meteorologist to completely lose it on live television. A prank loop played through his earpiece left him fighting through an uncontrollable giggling fit mid segment, and the clip went viral within hours.

A Quebec highway ended up covered in a substance most people would never expect to see spilled by the truckload, after a transport truck overturned near Montreal carrying thousands of pounds of it.

Ottawa's own Trump Avenue is now up for a rename, and the list of suggestions residents have floated includes at least one name pointed enough to make the joke obvious.

Inside Copy: What's Actually in a Broadcaster's Ear (Pranks and Yelling)

Duty free stores tariffs and falling cross-border travel are hitting hard, and this Friday roundup asks whether the sympathy actually matches the situation. Decades of guaranteed foot traffic and built-in tax advantages meet a very different argument once the tourism dries up.

From there the conversation turns to the renaming of the Gulf of America and Lake America, and the international body refusing to recognize either one. Andrew Caddell explains exactly why the rest of the world isn't playing along, and the two debate whether any future leader would actually bother reversing it.

Sheer news fatigue produces a lighter proposal by the end, and Andrew gives an update on his 1,000 kilometre bike ride for SickKids, with the finish line finally within reach.

NEW - The World Won't Call It Lake America

Coyote vs Acme almost never made it to theatres, and Steve Stebbing explains the strange decision behind that near miss, along with two other movies worth the weekend and three shows worth catching up on before fall premieres take over.

A Film Nobody Was Supposed to See

Coyote vs Acme tested well with audiences and still got shelved by a studio executive Steve isn't shy about naming, until another company stepped in to rescue it. He also breaks down Dog Stars, a slow-burn Ridley Scott film he actually liked despite the reviews, and Idiots, a raunchy road-trip comedy leaning hard into R-rated territory.

What's Actually Worth Streaming Right Now

Whisperman brings Adam Scott and Robert De Niro into a town haunted by a killer who may have had help, while Dark Matter's second season pits its lead against a version of himself from another reality. Adults season two rounds things out with a cast of unknowns carrying sharper writing than expected.

SHIFTHEADS: What The Hell Should We Watch This Weekend? A Cancelled Movie

Relationship repair starts long before the fight ends, and Dr. Laurie Betito breaks down why couples who say they're "just drifting" are usually describing a buildup of small, unresolved moments rather than one big rupture. Saying sorry is only the opening move.

The Apology Most People Get Wrong

"I'm sorry you feel that way" and "I'm sorry if I hurt you" both sound like apologies, and neither one actually is. Dr. Laurie explains the difference between acknowledging impact and dodging responsibility, and why owning what happened matters more than the words used to say it.

Why Timing Can Make or Break a Fight

Coming home stressed and taking it out on a partner is a common pattern, and Dr. Laurie walks through what it actually takes to de-escalate before things spiral, including when to step back instead of chasing a conversation that isn't ready to happen yet.
