GX94's Benny Walchuk catches up with Riders PXP voice Dave Thomas to recap win in Edmonton, and preview matchup with Ottawa

In true friendly fashion, the Jefferys stayed to record another episode! This time Tom decided to go the rare guest route and choose a movie. This week the film ripe for discussion is 1983's Strange Brew starring Dave Thomas and Rick Moranis. Will the adorable Moranis be enough to win Michelle over? Can Sam pretend Max von Sydow is Father Merrin the whole time? Not when he is crushing skulls! Listen, ya punk. This episode features the inner dialogue of Sam's brain.

Jill and Tom open this week's show addressing rumors of a coming Honda Accord model designed to compete directly with the popular Subaru Outback. The Honda wagon would--per rumor--enjoy a raised ride height, off-road trim, and standard AWD. Honda denies the rumor, though sources suggest the new Accord could be in showrooms for the 2030 model year. Also discussed this week is Audi's new large crossover, the Q9. With its new largest model, the German luxury carmaker looks to woo shoppers away from the likes of the BMW X7, Lexus LX, and Mercedes-Benz GLS. Listen in for prices and trim-level information. Still in the first segment, Jill reviews the 2026 Honda Prelude. The sporty 2-door to some degree replaces the discontinued Civic coupe in Honda showrooms, and is offered only as a hybrid. Listen in for Jill's take on this all-new Honda with a heritage name. In the second segment, the hosts welcome Dave Thomas of CDK Global to the podcast. Dave shares insights gleaned from a number of research projects conducted by CDK, including an owner study which suggests that EV operators are far happier with their vehicles than is commonly understood. Listen in for details. In the last segment, Jill is subjected to Tom's "Is it Turbocharged?" survey, which includes a Jack-in-the-Box menu-item bonus question.     Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Blues is the Truth #813 We are rolling right along into another packed two hour session, proudly supported by our friends at the Crawdaddy Club Richmond. As always, we have got fresh updates on all the top tier live music hitting the stage at their home in The Turks Head in Twickenham, so keep an eye on those calendars as we run through the news. The lineup this week is a beautiful mix of sharp contemporary sounds and deep rooted classics. We are setting the tone early with the master Bob Corritore, Murali Coryell, and another selection from my old band, Blues is Truth. The momentum picks up fast with Robbin Kapsalis, the legendary Johnny Winter, Mike Wheeler, and the gritty grooves of Kilborn Alley. We keep pushing the tempo through the middle stretch with heavy hitting tracks from Albert Castiglia, Buddy Whittington, The Mighty Howlers, and Devon Allman. You will also hear the hauntingly unique sounds of Ma Polaine's Great Decline, the blistering guitar of Joanne Shaw Taylor, the deep storytelling of Mississippi Macdonald, and raw cuts from Lonesome Pete and King Bizcuit. Rounding out the final stretch of this two hour run, we are bringing you the fiery fretwork of Junior Watson, harmonica brilliance from Paul Lamb and the Kingsnakes, and the timeless Chicago style of John Primer. We are closing things out in absolute style with Misty Blues, the incomparable Bonnie Raitt, the vintage swing of Rob Heron and the Teapad Orchestra, the legendary Joe Louis Walker, and the soulful touch of Dave Thomas. Two full hours of pure music and live gig updates from the local scene.

Send us Fan MailCorporate philanthropy for foster care adoption becomes more powerful when personal conviction, business systems, and measurable outcomes work together!Denny Lynch, author of Call Me Dave, and Rita Soronen, president and CEO of the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption, share how Dave Thomas turned his own adoption story into a lasting model for corporate-nonprofit impact.This fascinating discussion explores founder legacy, cause alignment, franchise engagement, program design, capacity constraints, and the responsibility successful businesses have to give back. It is a powerful example of how one leader's personal experience can become an enduring institution when passion is matched with structure, measurement, and shared ownership.Dave Thomas founded the foundation in 1992 after recognizing that children waiting in foster care were being overlooked. His approach went far beyond lending a famous name to a cause. He brought the same focus, urgency, and operating discipline that helped build Wendy's, asking a direct question: How many children did we help move into permanent families?Rita explains how that expectation pushed the foundation from awareness-building toward measurable action. The Wendy's Wonderful Kids program now funds adoption professionals across the United States and Canada who use an evidence-based, child-focused recruitment model. The goal is not simply to generate interest, but to strengthen the capacity needed to connect children, especially older youth, with safe, loving, permanent homes.As Rita tells us, “Behind that word dramatic is something measurable.” That mindset offers a valuable lesson for nonprofit executives, board members, funders, and corporate partners: a compelling mission must be supported by clear outcomes, sufficient infrastructure, and transparent reporting.Denny also describes the leadership traits that made Thomas's commitment credible. “Find something that means something to you,” he advises business leaders, because authentic commitment attracts employees, franchisees, families, and communities in ways that transactional sponsorship cannot.00:00:00 Dave Thomas and the Mission of Foster Care Adoption00:01:38 Twenty Years of Stories Behind Call Me Dave00:03:29 Why Children Wait Years for Permanent Families00:04:36 How Adoption Shaped Dave Thomas00:07:08 The Values That Defined His Leadership00:09:35 A Final Mandate: Get This Job Done00:11:43 Finding the Courage to Share His Story00:13:19 The White House and Corporate Adoption Benefits00:14:45 Keeping a Founder's Legacy Relevant00:18:39 Engaging Wendy's Franchisees in the Mission00:22:29 Building an Evidence-Based Adoption Program00:24:35 Measuring Results Instead of Activity00:26:34 What Business Leaders Can Learn From Dave Thomas #CorporatePhilanthropy #FosterCareAdoption #TheNonprofitShowFind us Live daily on YouTube!Find us  Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits!  12:30pm ET   11:30am CT  10:30am MT  9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

We are going full Canadian in this episode. The Canadian Movie Crew and I talk about an episode of The Dave Thomas Comedy Show with guest Dan Aykroyd. Well.

While Drew brings the movie Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead for everyone to watch.First is Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead, Tom Stoppard's delightfully brainy adaptation starring Gary Oldman and Tim Roth. The gang dives into fate, free will and if this might be the ultimate "theater kid" movie. There's plenty to chew on. Next is Strange Brew, where Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas prove that Shakespeare and Bob & Doug McKenzie have more in common than anyone expected. Clif, Marty, Andrew, Drew, and Ben celebrate the film's wonderfully goofy charm, debate how much Hamlet is really in the script and agree that the movie is quintessentially Canadian. Along the way: prank phone calls from high school, Pink Floyd deep cuts, theater stories, Richard Dreyfuss appreciation, charcuterie jokes and enough Hamlet references to make your old English teacher proud.Nerd Emergencies!

After some chatter about the recent UAP file dump from the Department of Defense and the skepticism surrounding a purported Epstein suicide note, we welcome Adrienne Hill and Dave Thomas to talk about last week's WeCanReason and SkeptiCamp New Mexico. If you've ever wondered what goes into a smaller, regional get-together for skeptics, this is a good primer. These low- or no-cost, more intimate gatherings are playing a bigger and bigger role in skeptical outreach and community building. And, we admit, in the midst of all the serious topics in current events that require our skeptical toolkits, a weekend away to talk about cryptids, ghosts or UFOs (along with world events) can be a fun refuge! How much work is it to hold one, and when should planning start? We go over ways to energize volunteers, publicize an event, gather speakers, plan a field trip, and ally with other communities like humanists, magicians or Unitarian Universalists.

In this episode, host Dave Thomas is joined by four Fellows of the American College of Trial Lawyers: Michael Critchley, Kevin Marino, Henry Klingeman, and Lawrence Lustberg. Together, they unpack the high-profile prosecution of New Jersey power broker George Norcross III and his co-defendants, arising from a sweeping indictment alleging extortion, coercion, and racketeering. The discussion focuses on the coordinated work of the defense team across multiple defendants, including how counsel aligned strategy in responding to a complex, multi-count indictment. The panel reflects on the shared effort required to challenge the charges early in the proceedings and the importance of disciplined, collaborative advocacy. The conversation also explores the legal battle over the limits of criminal statutes, the strategic decision to move for dismissal before discovery, and the role of the American College of Trial Lawyers as amicus curiae in the case.

Join the MMA Detective Mike Davis and co-host Joey Venti for an exclusive deep dive with Paul “The Hitman” Herrera — Division I All-American wrestler (Nebraska, 142 lbs), Tito Ortiz's high school wrestling coach, and core member of the legendary Tank Abbott crew in Huntington Beach.In this raw, no-holds-barred conversation, Herrera recounts the Wild West days of MMA: his Olympic Trials run, training with Mark Schultz at BYU, the infamous UFC 6 elevator incident with Pat Smith, dojo-storming Alan Gomez alongside Tank Abbott and Eddie Ruiz, cornering Tito Ortiz's UFC 13 debut, his own UFC 8 fight against Gary Goodridge, and his bout with Kazushi Sakuraba in Japan. He also details promoting the underground Hitman Fight Series and his current coaching at Huntington Beach Ultimate Training Center.The MMA History Podcast is the only show 100% dedicated to preserving mixed martial arts history through first-hand interviews with the men who lived it.0:00 MMA history podcast intro 0:32 Joey Venti's guest introduction0:51 interview start 0:54 plugs/ promotions1:33 recruited to California for wrestling4:02 early UFC matchmaking 5:17 Olympic training center for wrestling7:18 taking 2nd place at the Olympic open10:07 scarce info online for Paul Herrera11:16 coaching Tito Ortiz in high school13:38 meeting Tank Abbott for the first time18:25 relationship with Kimo Leopoldo20:29 Kimo Leopoldo's reputation 22:02 interactions with Joe Son22:40 Randy Ziegler 23:10 relationship with Tito Ortiz 25:13 Dojo storming Allan Góes gym30:46 animosity towards Tank Abbott at UFC 634:08 Tank Abbott vs John Matua34:49 impression on Dave Thomas 35:50 Tank Abbott vs Paul Varelans 36:46 Oleg Taktarov vs Anthony Macias fixed fight38:45 Tank Abbott vs Oleg Taktarov39:22 Pat Smith backstage incident 43:43 running into Pat Smith in elevator 48:00 accused of stealing from Bob Meyrowitz 49:17 putting on Hitman fight events 51:09 relationship with Mark Schultz 54:45 training with Mark Schultz 56:27 Rickson Gracie meeting with Mark Schultz58:20 invited to fight at UFC 859:27 Paul Herrera vs Gary Goodridge1:00:24 training tape leaked to Gary Goodridge 1:02:17 using substances before Gary Goodridge fight 1:06:43 Refusing hospital treatment after UFC event 1:09:36 Tank Abbott and Allan Góes incident 1:11:24 UFC 9 attendance 1:12:07 preparing Tito Ortiz for UFC debut 1:13:40 Tito Ortiz vs Guy Mezger1:17:45 Tito Ortiz first MMA fight1:18:27 Tank Abbott fallout with John McCarthy1:21:46 Tito Ortiz paid under the table for UFC debut 1:24:53 issues with the Brazilians at UFC after party 1:28:01 Paul Herrera vs Kazushi Sakuraba1:35:18 the beginning of Japanese hijinks in MMA1:37:21 Yakuza involvement in fights 1:39:10 John Lober vs Ryushi Yanagisawa1:39:59 experience with John Lober1:41:10 Aaron Brink 1:42:24 hosting underground MMA events1:44:33 first impression of Aaron Brink1:45:54 choosing to get sober 1:47:07 career highlights1:48:07 experience with Sean Strickland1:51:29 interview wrap up1:53:26 outro/ closing thoughts Subscribe for more.

This week on the pod, we were joined by two of Katie's neighbors: Erin and Dave. Along with a few other members of their community in Shaker Heights, Ohio, they've been working together to stop the AI surveillance company Flock from sharing their data with ICE.It's a complicated issue! First, on the technical side -- how exactly does Flock work, and how are they sharing data with ICE and Border Patrol? It's also tricky on the advocacy side -- how can we know if Flock is sharing our data with ICE, and what can we do to stop it? But Erin and Dave broke it all down and explained what we can do if we're worried about Flock in our own community. A great place to start is https://deflock.org/,  a  crowdsourced website where people have been sharing where cameras are located all across the country. From there, you can find people in your community who are also concerned about this issue and push for change on the local level. It's important to advocate on the federal level for changes to ICE and Border Patrol, but you can actually have a conversation with your local city council member or chief of police. After all, they're part of your community too.Erin, Dave and Katie all agreed that as scary as everything feels right now (with ICE, surveillance, and AI high on the list of concerns), it's actually been empowering to talk to their local leaders about Flock... and, of course, become better friends along the way.For a transcript of this episode, please email comms@redwine.blue.
