This week, we sit down with the wildly accomplished Patrick Doyle, a veteran camera and Steadicam operator with more than 30 years of experience working across the TV and motion picture industry. Pat has collaborated with some of the biggest studios in the world—MGM, Disney, 20th Century Fox, NBC Universal, Warner Bros, A&E, Sony Entertainment, Hallmark—and worked shoulder to shoulder with iconic performers like William Shatner, Julianna Margulies, Adrien Brody, Charles Dance, Liam Cunningham, and Tom Ellis. But despite his remarkable résumé, Pat remains deeply grounded in the place he calls home: Sydney River, Cape Breton/Unama'ki. What struck us most during this conversation is Pat's pure, unfiltered passion for his craft. He speaks about camera work not just as a technical skill, but as a creative point of view—the way he sees and feels the world. We spent time reassuring him (lovingly) that he is an artist, and that his instincts, sensitivity, and strong visual identity absolutely count. And now, after decades of telling other people's stories, Pat is stepping into a new chapter: developing his own TV series. The anticipated project is inspired by Cape Breton's own Frank MacDonald and his book The Smeltdog Man, a full-circle moment after Frank recently joined us on the podcast. Pat hopes this series will help strengthen the film industry on Cape Breton Island, creating opportunities and shining a brighter light on a place he deeply loves. This conversation is a reminder of what it feels like to be grateful, intentional, and awake to the creative path you've chosen. Pat's humility, humour, and heart make this one of those episodes that leaves you feeling lighter and more inspired to begin your own next chapter. A beautiful chat about craft, home, and seeing the world with curiosity.

SCTV's Dave Thomas talks about making bold life choices, growing up in Canada, Shakespeare saving his ass, choosing between big money success as an ad man or being a broke improviser at Second City, becoming head writer on SCTV, Martin Short, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, John Candy, Catherine O'Hara, Eugene Levy, Joe Flaherty, Andrea Martin, Grace Under Fire, running an animation studio, turning to dramas like Bones and The Black List, going to Ukraine, Thailand, Mad Magazine, The McKenzie Brothers, Chester Hope, and how, to make it in Hollywood, you need at least two of these three things, Talent, Drive, & Luck. Bio: David William Thomas was born May 20, 1949, in St. Catharines, Ontario. He is the eldest son of British parents, Moreen Duff Muir (May 4, 1928 – May 18, 2022), a church organist for thirty years originally from Glasgow, Scotland and composer of church music, and John E. Thomas (1926–1996), a medical ethicist from Merthyr Tydfil, Wales who was head of the Philosophy Department at McMaster University, and the author of several books. Dave's younger brother, Ian Thomas, is a Canadian singer-songwriter. The family moved temporarily to Durham, North Carolina, where his father attended Duke University and earned a PhD in philosophy. The family moved back to Dundas, Ontario, in 1961, where Dave attended Dundas District high school, and later graduated with an honours Bachelor of Arts degree in English literature from McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario.[1] Starting his career as a copywriter at ad agency McCann Erickson in 1974, Thomas became the head writer of the Coca-Cola account in Canada within a year. After watching a Second City stage show in Toronto, and while suffering from self-described "boredom" in his advertising work, he auditioned for the Second City troupe and was chosen as a performer.[2] He was a cast member of the Toronto production of Godspell, along with Victor Garber, Martin Short, Eugene Levy, Gilda Radner, and Andrea Martin.[3] Paul Shaffer was the musical director.[3 He first achieved fame as a cast member of the Canadian TV comedy series SCTV, joining Godspell castmates Levy, Martin and later Short, plus Rick Moranis, John Candy, Harold Ramis, Catherine O'Hara and others. Notable characters on the show include Doug McKenzie of beer-swilling brothers Bob and Doug McKenzie, editorialist Bill Needle, Scottish scone-chef/bluesman Angus Crock, motor-mouthed TV ad announcer Harvey K-Tel, Lowery organist/curio pitchman Tex Boil and the "Cruising Gourmet". Thomas's first film role was in Home to Stay, directed by Delbert Mann, in which Thomas played in a scene with Hollywood legend Henry Fonda. He then wrote, co-directed, and starred in the Bob & Doug McKenzie feature film Strange Brew. Soon after, he wrote for and acted in The New Show, produced by Lorne Michaels during his hiatus from Saturday Night Live. Short-lived, this show featured a powerhouse writing staff including Thomas along with Buck Henry, George Meyer, Jack Handey, Al Franken, Tom Davis, Valri Bromfield and Steve Martin. Thomas tried his hand at network television hour-long shows in 1986 when he wrote and co-executive produced Steel Collar Man for CBS. The pilot was produced but did not go to series. He co-wrote Spies Like Us (1985) with Dan Aykroyd. In 1988, Thomas wrote another hour long show for CBS, B Men, which was back ordered, but Thomas took a directing job at Paramount, which caused the network to drop the series. He reportedly introduced John Travolta and Kelly Preston while directing them in the Paramount film The Experts. He wrote for, produced, and starred in The Dave Thomas Comedy Show (1990). In 1991, he starred in the Showtime comedy, Public Enemy #2. In 1992, he tried his hand at reality TV and co-executive produced ABC's America's Funniest People with Vin Di Bona, but left after thirteen weeks to appear in the film Coneheads. In 1993, he co-starred in ABC's Grace Under Fire with Brett Butler and Tom Poston and continued with the show for 5 seasons. In 1995 Thomas starred in the ABC television film Picture Perfect with Mary Page Keller and Richard Karn. In 1995 Thomas produced a pilot of a game show called Family Challenge for ABC. When ABC did not pick up the series, Thomas sold Family Challenge to the Family Channel, where he produced 144 episodes of the show spread over 2 seasons. In 1996, Thomas played the title role in the Fox television film Mr. Foster's Field Trip aka Kidz in the Wood with Julia Duffy. In 1996, he wrote the book SCTV: Behind the Scenes (McClelland & Stewart, publishers). From 1999–2002, he voiced various roles on the animated series Mission Hill. Thomas co-starred in the Paramount feature Rat Race. As of 2001, Thomas has been the Executive Creative Director of Animax Entertainment, an animation studio based officially in Culver City, California. In 2001–2002 Thomas appeared with Eugene Levy and Martin Short on Short's show Primetime Glick as Bob Hope (an impression he had first developed for SCTV with great success). In 2002, he co-starred with Jason Priestley, Dave Foley, and Ewen Bremner in Fancy Dancing. The next year he played a lead role in Beethoven's 5th. In 2003, he directed a hospital comedy feature film entitled Whitecoats, which he also wrote. As of 2004, Thomas was on the official Advisory Committee for the Comedy program at Humber College, the only such diploma program in the world. In 2004, he and Moranis again worked together voicing Rutt and Tuke, two moose based on the McKenzie Brothers, in Disney's animated feature Brother Bear.[4] Thomas has had a long career doing voices for animation including Animaniacs, Duckman, CatDog, The Adventures of Tarzan, Justice League and multiple roles on The Simpsons, King of the Hill and Family Guy. In 2005, he had a guest stint as Charlize Theron's "Uncle Trevor" on Fox's Arrested Development. In 2006, he reprised his voice role in Brother Bear 2 and appeared as himself in the feature film The Aristocrats. He began production on ArnoldSpeaks.com, a video blog, as the voice of Arnold Schwarzenegger; Animax Entertainment won an Emmy for a broadband animated series produced for ESPN, Off Mikes. In 2007, Thomas and Rick Moranis reprised their roles as Bob and Doug McKenzie in a one-hour special, Bob & Doug McKenzie's Two-Four Anniversary, for CBC Television. The show featured cameos from McKenzie celeb fans like Ben Stiller, Dave Foley, Tom Green, Paul Shaffer, Andy Dick, Matt Groening, Barry Pepper, Martin Short, and Geddy Lee. Former Prime Minister of Canada Paul Martin was the host. In 2008, Thomas revived Bob and Doug McKenzie in a new animated series, Bob & Doug. While Thomas reprises the character of Doug in the new series, Moranis chose not to voice the character of Bob, which instead is voiced by Dave Coulier. Moranis is, however, involved in the series as an executive producer.[5] In November 2009, Thomas received an Honorary Doctor of Letters from his alma mater McMaster University and gave the fall convocation speech. In 2010 Animax continued to produce branded entertainment, advertising and digital shorts for corporations like Disney, Warner Brothers, NBC Universal, and Kodak. In 2011, Thomas's company Animax produced another animated show for MTV entitled Big Box along with numerous Internet shorts such as Life With Dad.[6][7] In 2012 and 2013 Thomas guest starred in the dramatic shows Perception and Bones as well as comedy shows Comedy Bang! Bang! and How I Met Your Mother. In addition in 2013 Thomas voiced the recurring role of Jeff Foxworthy's father Jesco in the CMT show Bounty Hunters. Thomas joined the writing staff of the Fox crime drama television series Bones beginning in 2013. Thomas worked for two seasons on Bones, writing several episodes and working on staff as consulting producer for two seasons.[8] In 2015 Thomas joined the writing staff of NBC's The Blacklist as a consulting producer. In 2020 life-sized statues of Thomas and Rick Moranis as their characters Bob and Doug McKenzie were put in place at the ICE District Sports Arena in Edmonton, Alberta.[9] Also in 2020, the Governor-General of Canada announced that Thomas was being appointed to the Order of Canada,[10] Canada's highest civilian award. In 2021, Thomas and Max Allan Collins teamed to write a sci-fi mystery novel, The Many Lives of Jimmy Leighton.

The show opens with Vision Pro news as visionOS 26.2 beta 3 arrives days after the other platform betas. Marty reports improvements like developer cable speed fixes and faster 2D-to-3D photo conversion. Jill and Eric recount their in-person meetup where Jill experienced a fully guided Vision Pro demo — including immersive video, spatial room exploration, and plenty of curious stares from coffee-shop onlookers wondering why Jill was "peering into invisible walls." The group then turns to iOS/iPadOS 26.2, covering new AirDrop temporary-share capabilities, privacy notice updates, hypertension notification APIs, new Japanese voice-assistant options, improvements to Liquid Glass UI effects, and multitasking enhancements like the return of Slide Over on iPad. AirPods Pro 3 beta firmware triggers a discussion on instability, unwanted auto-switching, and how firmware installs appear to now proactively ask users whether they want to participate. The episode shifts to macOS Tahoe 26.2, where Jeff vents about daily crashes, memory leaks, and wake-from-sleep failures — while others report fewer issues, sparking a possible exploration of third-party apps as the culprit. The panel also critiques Apple's polarizing icon redesign in Tahoe, agreeing that many icons look bland, boxed-in, and violate Apple's own historical Human Interface Guidelines. A major section of the show covers AI developments: • OpenAI GPT-5.1 — faster, more conversational, new tone presets (professional, candid, quirky), and "thinking mode" for deeper answers. • Google Gemini 3 Pro — improved multimodal reasoning, search integrations, and cloud-based inference. Jeff notes concerns about AI systems becoming overly anthropomorphic, while Jill admits she set her GPT tone to "nerdy" and likes it. Next, Apple's rollout of driver's licenses in Wallet hits Illinois, making it one of the largest states to adopt the feature. Dave describes server delays on launch day, and the panel discusses TSA compatibility, app differences between states, privacy details displayed, and state-by-state rollout inconsistencies. Sports streaming news surfaces as MLB renews contracts with ESPN, Netflix, and NBCUniversal, while also confirming Friday Night Baseball stays on Apple TV through 2028. The group reflects on the chaos of watching live sports across too many services and whether future licensing will simplify or worsen the landscape. The episode closes with Google's surprising announcement that iPhone ↔ Android file transfers via AirDrop/Quick Share are now possible on Pixel 10 devices. The panel predicts Apple will likely break this "for security reasons," especially considering regulatory scrutiny in the EU. Topics and Links
A talkback suggests younger people who can’t afford to purchase a home should invest in the stock market instead of real estate. When it comes to streaming, Netflix and Amazon Prime are jacking with the ratings system in a bid to sell ads. Both streaming networks have developed a new metric, counting people who watch just one minute of advertising in the entire month as a monthly active viewer. MLB has struck a deal with several outlets to showcase the games. ESPN will get 30 national games over the next season. NBCUniversal will get the Sunday-night lineup, and Peacock gets Sunday morning. Netflix will also start showing baseball games. We’ve now stopped minting the penny, and there is no detailed national plan to manage the existing 250 billion pennies still in jars across the United States.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There are those who ask why so many Americans speak Spanish. But according to the Latino media entrepreneur and historian Javier Marin, you might as well ask why so many Americans speak English. Over the last half century, the Hispanic community in America has risen from 3.5 to 62 million. In his new history of Latino media, Live From America, Marin charts how networks like Univision and Telemundo drove the meteoric rise of Hispanic America. This IS America, Marin insists - there are now 62 million Latinos shaping the country's politics, economy and culture. Rather than a demographic trend about some curious minority, it's the core reality of 21st century America.1. The US is now the world's second-largest Spanish-speaking country Only Mexico has more Spanish speakers than America. The US has surpassed Spain and Argentina. This isn't an immigrant enclave - it's a linguistic and cultural reality that's permanent and growing. As Marin puts it: “Even if you deport three million, we still have 57 million.”2. Univision and Telemundo are America's most powerful political engines - and they're not owned by Latinos These networks reach 60+ million people and absorb massive political advertising dollars from both parties. But Univision is controlled by private equity, Telemundo by NBC Universal. This creates a fundamental tension: are they serving their community or their shareholders? The Jorge Ramos ejection-to-Mar-a-Lago-interview arc tells you everything.3. “When you lose dignity, you lose your vote” Marin's thesis on why Democrats gained with Latino voters in recent elections despite Trump's 2024 inroads. The harsh treatment and “physical aggressiveness” of deportation policies cost Republicans votes. Dignity and political loyalty are directly linked. This matters more than economic messaging.4. Richard Nixon invented the word “Hispanic” - as a political strategy In 1969, Nixon commissioned a committee to encapsulate all Spanish speakers with one word to create a political constituency. Reagan embraced it further with Hispanic Heritage Month. The term “Hispanic” isn't organic - it's a government-corporate construct designed to make 60+ million diverse people politically legible and commercially targetable.5. Spanish-language media has always faced censorship and “English-only” movements From Theodore Roosevelt promoting English-only in the early 1900s to Desi Arnaz being censored on I Love Lucy, there's been consistent pressure to suppress Spanish. The FCC nearly cancelled Univision's predecessor over foreign ownership. The current anti-immigrant rhetoric isn't new - it's the same 100-year battle. The difference now: the numbers make it unwinnable.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

In today's MadTech Daily, we discuss the IAB launching a faster ad auction protocol, NBCUniversal preparing to debut its new NBC Sports Network, and Alibaba rolling out an AI tool to streamline sourcing.
Sean Combs, known to many as Puffy or P Diddy, continues to face major headlines as his legal saga unfolds in 2025. Right now, Combs is in the midst of serving a 50-month prison sentence at Fort Dix Federal Correctional Institute in New Jersey. He was convicted in July 2025 on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, following a highly publicized trial that led the court to hand down a sentence of just over four years, with a hefty $500,000 fine according to CBS News and AOL. His expected release date is set for June 4, 2028.Life behind bars has not been easy for the music mogul. Recently, FandomWire and IMDb reported that Combs' safety has been put at risk—he was reportedly attacked in his cell by an inmate wielding a makeshift blade. Diddy's longtime friend, Charlucci Finney, told the Daily Mail that the attack happened while Diddy was sleeping; although he survived, the incident underscored new concerns about his wellbeing as he serves out his sentence. Sources inside the prison also mention that on Halloween, Diddy missed out on the usual treats, trading candy for baked fish and turkey roast, as described by AOL.The legal battles keep stacking up outside his prison walls as well. Diddy has launched a $100 million defamation lawsuit against NBCUniversal, challenging their documentary 'Diddy: The Making Of A Bad Boy' on Peacock. NBC's attorneys have pointed to Combs' own words in court, where he admitted to losing his freedom, career, and reputation because of his decisions, arguing these admissions weaken his defamation case. The documentary's portrayal of accusations—ranging from sexual assault to conspiracy theories concerning the deaths of Kim Porter, Biggie Smalls, and Heavy D—has enraged both Combs' legal team and his supporters. His lawyers contend that the network rushed to publish damaging allegations, but NBCUniversal insists their reporting only referenced widely covered stories from other media.Meanwhile, Combs remains a figure of controversy and intrigue far beyond the studio. Despite no longer heading the empire he built with Bad Boy Records or his business ventures under Combs Global, allegations of witness tampering and influence peddling continue to swirl, further complicating his prospects for any return to the spotlight.Thanks for tuning in for this week's headline update on Sean Combs.

Catalyst is a Creative Industries podcast, from Chapman University. Each episode features Chapman students who have completed a Podcasting course through the Center for Creative and Cultural Industries at the university. Students who had no podcasting experience or technical ability in the genre before taking the course were able to contribute all the segments to Catalyst this season with the goal being that they will take this 'hands-on' experience and carry it over to the launching of their very own series. Each episode of Season 14 will feature one to two different interviews conducted by CCI students, exploring different aspects of the Creative and Cultural Industries. In our first segment of Catalyst this week, Madison Charbonneau sits, down with Jaiden Reilly, Marketing Coordinator at Makeup Eraser. They discuss how Jaiden began her journey as an intern at Makeup Eraser while attending Loyola Marymount University, later turning that opportunity into a full-time position after graduation. Now, as Marketing Coordinator, she manages content creation across Instagram, TikTok, and the company's website while collaborating with teams throughout the brand to bring its vision to life. Madison and Jaiden also dive deep into the creative process behind brand-aligned content, the importance of collaboration, and the realities of working in marketing and social media. Finally, Jaiden reflects on how she landed her dream job and what her day-to-day work looks like in the fast-paced beauty world, and offers practical tips for students and recent graduates about how to stand out, build a personal brand, and translate passion into a career. We conclude Catalyst this week learning about what it is like to be an Associate Producer at NBC Universal, when Ella Deiner brings us an interview with Caylen Greenberg. Caylen talks about her path into the film industry—from her first experience behind a camera to her current role at one of the world's leading media companies. Caylen shares how her early curiosity for filmmaking evolved into a professional pursuit, beginning with her decision to attend film school. She reflects on the internships that gave her hands-on experience and opened doors in the industry, as well as the professors and projects that helped her grow as a storyteller and creative. They also discuss Caylen's current work as an Associate Producer, where every day brings new challenges and opportunities. They wrap up with a look at the variety of projects Caylen manages, the skills that have helped her succeed, and the thrill of seeing her work out in the world, including lessons learned, obstacles overcome, and her long-term goals in the film industry.

Last Friday, billions evaporated in a liquidation cascade—and nobody knows exactly what happened because centralized exchanges won't share the data. In this sponsored episode recorded at Aptos' NYC event, Aptos CEO Avery Ching says if their Decibel perpetual exchange had been live, traders would have seen every order, every spread change, every liquidation in real-time onchain. But while critics argue existing perp DEXs like Hyperliquid are already decentralized, Ching says most still match orders off-chain in black boxes. Avery explains why Decibel (launching Q1 2026) will be different, how 500 million Indian users are coming to crypto through Reliance Jio's Jiocoin, and why Aptos partnered with World Liberty Financial despite VCs calling it "garbage in your living room."

Welcome back for the conclusion of my conversation with retired Chief of Police and Author Brian Brady. Brian was born and raised in the San Francisco area and became a police officer in Berkeley, California, in the late sixties. He moved around to four different police departments, eventually attaining the rank of Chief of Police. After decades of serving and protecting, he retired from police work and transitioned to becoming a corporate security executive. This path led him to holding executive positions at prestigious organizations such as NBC Universal and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Brian has published two crime novels and is working on his third. I really enjoyed talking to someone like Brian, who has seen the evolution of police work through the years and worked his way up from police officer to chief. Brain is one of the few police chiefs I have known who didn’t lose their way and bend to politics and ego. He has a good heart, and that is what’s needed if you are going to lead a police force in today’s world of distorted priorities and egos. Please enjoy this informative and wide-ranging conversation with Brian Brady. In today’s episode, we discuss: · How departments are falsifying crime stats. · Why would you want to be a police chief? · Brian being in four different departments and did most jobs within the PD. What were his favorite positions and department? What was his least favorite? · How could the Alec Baldwin situation have happened? · Retired from law enforcement and going to corporate security. How difficult was it for him to transition to that? · The billion-dollar business of fine art security. · Where do art thieves fence priceless pieces of art? · The secret world of fine art forgeries. · Artificial intelligence and writing. · Talking about Harry Bosch and Titus Welliver! · His latest book, Greed. What is it about, and what should we expect? · The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum heist, which occurred on March 18, 1990, where 500 million in art was stolen. · If your book made it to the big screen, who would you want playing the main role? All of this and more on today’s episode of the Cops and Writers podcast. Check out Brian's website to learn more about him and his books! Check out the new Cops and Writers YouTube channel!

In a significant development, Anthony Ricco, one of Sean "Diddy" Combs' defense attorneys, has filed a motion to withdraw from representing Combs in his upcoming federal sex trafficking trial. In the motion submitted on February 21, 2025, Ricco stated, "Under no circumstances can I continue to effectively serve as counsel for Sean Combs, consistent with the ABA Standards for Criminal Justice." He did not provide specific reasons for his decision, citing attorney-client privilege. Ricco assured the court that his withdrawal would not delay the trial scheduled for May 5, 2025, as Combs continues to be represented by five other attorneys, including lead counsel Marc Agnifilo. Combs has been incarcerated since his arrest in September 2024 on charges of racketeering, sex trafficking, and related offenses, to which he has pleaded not guilty. The allegations against him include organizing illicit parties and other misconduct. In addition to his criminal case, Combs has filed a $100 million defamation lawsuit against NBCUniversal and the production company Ample, alleging that a docuseries falsely portrays him as a criminal.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Diddy faces fresh crisis as his lawyer Tony Ricco quits rapper's case with VERY mysterious statement | Daily Mail Online
