Basketball Culture with Pennington "Penny" Greene Where Basketball Becomes Culture In the debut episode of Basketball Culture, Penny Greene and Tyrone Tate introduce the people, experiences, and traditions that shaped Penny's lifelong relationship with the game before comparing the personalities and fundamentals of earlier eras with the rules, strategies, analytics, and entertainment priorities of modern basketball. Guest / Co-Host Spotlight The debut episode introduces listeners not only to host Penny Greene but also to Tyrone Tate, whose longstanding friendship and shared passion for basketball help establish the welcoming personality of the series. Rather than serving as a traditional interview guest, Tate acts as a conversational partner, prompting Penny to reflect on the people, experiences, and lessons that shaped both his remarkable basketball career and his enduring love for the game. Their natural chemistry creates an atmosphere that feels less like a formal interview and more like two lifelong basketball enthusiasts inviting listeners into an ongoing conversation about the sport they know so well. Introducing Basketball Culture Penny Greene opens the debut by welcoming a global basketball community to a program built around the players, legends, history, future, and larger culture of the game. After years of being encouraged to start a podcast, he enters the studio determined to create a show that is knowledgeable without becoming stiff and entertaining without losing substance. He introduces Tyrone as a trusted partner and “motivational conscience” before announcing the episode's central question: Why do so many longtime players and fans believe the game is no longer the same? Before answering it, however, Penny recognizes that the debut must establish who he is, what shaped his perspective, and why listeners should trust him to lead the conversation. The result is both the opening episode of a basketball program and the introduction of a larger mission. A Lifetime Earning the Right to Talk Basketball Penny traces his journey from Southeast Washington, D.C., and West Baltimore to the highly competitive basketball environment of Prince George's County. He remembers neighborhood challenges, early mentors such as Chink Gray, formative basketball camps, and exposure to coaches including Tom Young, Dr. Tom Davis, Will Jones, Lefty Driesell, George Raveling, and his high school coach Stan Kernan. He describes appearing on the cover of The Washington Post sports section after a standout performance, being recruited by John Thompson and Bill Gibson, playing at the University of South Florida, receiving recognition from the university years later, and competing against players he identifies as some of the finest of his generation. Penny also explains how his relationship with basketball continued through historical research, DCBasketball.com, archival work, documentary appearances, and the Basketball Institute. These stories are presented in Penny's confident, humorous style as his explanation of why he feels prepared to discuss the game from both lived and historical perspectives. When Basketball Was Personality The conversation then returns to the players who first captured Penny's imagination. Oscar Robertson represented power, efficiency, and fundamental basketball, while Pete Maravich brought flamboyance, creativity, and unexpected passes. Penny recalls Walt “Clyde” Frazier's fashion, Julius Erving's airborne grace, Calvin Murphy's fearlessness, Archie Clark's crossover, Earl Monroe's spin move, and the expressive personalities that emerged through the ABA. These memories are not offered as a formal ranking of basketball legends. They reveal what Penny loved about watching the game: every great player seemed to possess a recognizable identity, personal rhythm, and way of making basketball feel like art. His stories about meeting Earl Monroe and studying the moves of his heroes show how deeply those players influenced his own confidence and approach to the court. Could Great Players Succeed in Any Era? When Tyrone asks which stars from the 1970s could play today, Penny rejects the idea that basketball ability belongs to one generation. His position is straightforward: if a player can truly play, that talent can translate across eras. Athleticism may change, but deception, timing, head fakes, footwork, confidence, and understanding still determine whether someone can succeed. The discussion also moves in the opposite direction, considering how current players might respond to the much greater physicality of earlier basketball. Tyrone and Penny recall an era when driving into the lane could mean encountering imposing defenders such as Wes Unseld or enduring contact that would produce far more serious penalties today. Their exchange respects modern talent while insisting that historical context matters whenever generations are compared. From Inside-Out Basketball to Outside-In Offense Penny describes one of the game's largest strategic changes as the movement from inside-out basketball to outside-in basketball. Earlier teams generally relied upon clearly defined positions: point guards organized the offense, scoring guards looked for points, forwards balanced scoring and rebounding, power forwards supplied toughness, and centers controlled the paint. In the modern game, players are expected to perform multiple functions, the court is spread more widely, and the three-point shot shapes nearly every possession. Penny acknowledges the mathematical logic behind this evolution, noting that efficient three-point shooting can produce greater value than a higher percentage of two-point attempts. At the same time, he argues that the modern game can become overly dependent on running, shooting, switching, and searching for mismatches rather than executing clearly designed possessions. Leadership, Basketball IQ, and What Statistics Miss When Tyrone asks what statistics cannot measure, Penny immediately identifies leadership. He describes situations in which teams continue taking poor shots during a collapsing lead because no one on the floor assumes responsibility for slowing the game down and demanding a better possession. To Penny, basketball IQ means more than knowing plays or producing impressive numbers. It includes understanding time, score, rhythm, matchups, and what a team must do in a particular moment to win. A true leader recognizes when the offense has lost direction, challenges teammates, and restores order. This becomes one of the episode's strongest critiques of modern basketball: athletic ability and data cannot replace judgment, communication, and the courage to take control when a game begins slipping away. Why the Game Is Not the Same Penny eventually delivers the list many older players and fans have been waiting to hear. He points to moving screens, Eurosteps, step-backs, side-steps, flopping, protected landing space, changing charge calls, and offensive players being allowed to initiate contact as examples of rules or interpretations that favor scoring. He is especially frustrated by powerful players building momentum, running into defenders, and still receiving favorable whistles. He also questions the widespread tendency to switch every pick-and-roll, arguing that highly paid defenders should sometimes fight through screens and remain with their assignments. Yet Penny does not end by simply condemning the present. He recognizes that professional basketball is also entertainment, that owners want points and excitement, and that the game will continue changing. His message to older fans is ultimately to understand the evolution, appreciate what the younger generation does well, and keep enjoying the sport—even if certain plays occasionally make them want to close their eyes. Basketball as a Blueprint for Life Beyond debates about rules and eras, Penny explains why basketball has remained so valuable in his life. The game teaches players to analyze their weaknesses, develop neglected skills, prepare with purpose, and repeat actions until improvement becomes visible. He uses learning to dribble with the weaker hand as an example of identifying a limitation and working deliberately to overcome it. The same process, he argues, applies to reading, academics, business, and personal development. Basketball gave him experiences, relationships, and opportunities that extended far beyond the court, but its most lasting contribution may be the habits of preparation and persistence it taught him. The promotional message for the Basketball Institute reinforces that philosophy by presenting the sport as a pathway toward mentorship, education, leadership, opportunity, and hope for young people. The Beginning of a Larger Conversation As the debut closes, Penny explains that Basketball Culture will examine every facet of the game—from the NBA, college, and high school basketball to fashion, history, rule changes, salary caps, strategy, and the business surrounding the sport. He wants the program to deliver relevant and meaningful conversations while remaining fascinating, lighthearted, and fun. Tyrone's coaching perspective and ability to keep the conversation moving provide a natural complement to Penny's memories, historical knowledge, and strong opinions. Together, they establish a show where personal stories can lead into strategic debates, legendary names can introduce forgotten history, and disagreements can remain playful without becoming superficial. This first episode does more than explain how basketball has changed. It establishes a place where the game's history, personalities, lessons, business, and community come together—where basketball becomes culture.

One out of every four loans in 2026 will be non-agency. Are you positioned to compete for all of them — or just three out of four? In this episode of Connect, California MBA CEO Paul Gigliotti sits down with Tom Davis, Chief Sales Officer at Deephaven Mortgage, for a data-heavy, no-fluff conversation on where the non-QM and non-agency markets are headed, why the equity opportunity is generational, and what loan officers need to do right now to stay relevant. Tom brings a front-row view of what's actually happening across borrower demand, product innovation, and liquidity — and he doesn't sugarcoat what originators are leaving on the table by not having a full suite of non-agency products. In this episode: • Why non-QM is on pace to hit $150–180B in 2026 — an all-time record The $400–500B total non-agency market and why missing it means only accessing 75% of your opportunity • Who the non-QM borrower really is: self-employed, investor, credit event, foreign national — and why they're actually lower risk than you think • Why 30% of all 2025 transactions were investor deals — and what a full investor product suite looks like • The home equity opportunity: $35 trillion in equity, 80% of homeowners locked into sub-5% rates, and $600B in renovation originations projected for 2026 • HELOCs, closed-end seconds, and how Deephaven built a Jumbo HELOC up to $1M with alt-doc features • Why waiting for rates to drop is a losing strategy — and what LOs should be doing instead • How servicers are stealing your past clients at a 90% retention rate — and how equity products stop the bleed Connect is the California MBA's podcast where strategy, innovation, and leadership come together to shape the future of mortgage finance.

In segment 2 of the first hour of The Charlie James Show on May 1, 2026, the discussion shifted to the specific South Carolina Senators allegedly stalling the redistricting vote.Segment HighlightsThe "Holdouts": Charlie James identified Senate Majority Leader Shane Massey, Senator Sean Bennett, and Senator Tom Davis as the primary Republican figures preventing a floor vote on the new congressional maps.The Conflict: James characterized these three senators as being out of step with the "grassroots" conservative movement that is pushing for an aggressive redrawing of District 6 (currently held by Democrat Jim Clyburn).Massey's Rationale: While James criticized the delay, he noted Massey's public defense: that a map drawn too aggressively for GOP gain might be struck down by the courts or result in a "split" that could actually jeopardize other safe Republican seats in the long run.Senate Dynamics: The segment explored the internal friction between these senior Senate leaders and the more "Trump-aligned" members of the South Carolina House who have already signaled support for a swifter, more radical redistricting process.

In the first hour of the show, Charlie James opens with a warning that failing to get involved in politics allows leadership to drift, specifically highlighting the brewing battle over South Carolina redistricting and the role of Senate Majority Leader Shane Massey. The tension rises in the second segment, where Massey, along with Senators Sean Bennett and Tom Davis, are called out for allegedly stalling the redistricting vote, creating a rift between the Senate leadership and the GOP grassroots. This delay takes on a national urgency in the third segment, which explores how the current SC redistricting map could provide Democrats with a strategic opportunity to retake the U.S. House of Representatives. Finally, the hour concludes with a sharp cultural critique of the segment of the population that remains ideologically or fearfully tied to the Coronavirus pandemic even now, in 2026.

Tom Davis is one of the funniest people I know. We first met ten years ago on Murder in Successville, the hilarious BBC3 sitcom he co-created with his friend James De Frond. At the time, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. What I didn't realise then was just how much the show meant to Tom. Murder in Successville wasn't just another job for him. It was a pivotal moment and there was so much riding on it. This conversation is a rollercoaster. I haven't laughed that much in a long time - but it also reveals a side to Tom that goes far beyond the laughs. In this episode, Tom shares:Why he took a risk on me for the very first episode of Murder in SuccessvilleHow he desperately wanted to be a dad and feared it might not happenWhy he decided to go sober and what it's taught him What Timothée Chalamet text him after the Critics Choice AwardsWhat happened when Tom was mistaken for Ed Sheeran's bodyguard This conversation is a reminder that it's not always a simple road to success - true success is a journey.

Angela's hearty dish makes quite the impression! Tom Davis is an actor, comedian, podcaster, writer and proud south Londoner. Fresh from delivering the goody bag for Romesh Ranganathan, he settles in with us for a proper catch-up over a delicious pie.  Tom's latest tour, Spudgun, sees him return to the comedy circuit after a period away from the stage. You'll have seen and heard from him plenty in that time, though, with acting credits including Wonka and A Thousand Blows plus TV appearances on shows including A League Of Their Own and, of course, his weekly podcast with Romesh, Wolf & Owl.  Tom famously started out in comedy when he was working on building sites, but less is known about his time in the restaurant industry. He chats to us about his work in the kitchen, including a spell at The Connaught, which sadly didn't overlap with Angela's time there. The chat begins over sliced bread and a glass of Botivo with elderflower cordial and soda, before we hit the pie. Angela serves a steak pie, using a recipe by Diana Henry, with a gluten free version for Nick, all accompanied by a side of Savoy cabbage. The Waitrose wine experts have paired this meal with a glass of Norton Winemaker's Reserve Malbec.  Tom knows his food and possesses some excellent eating credentials, none more so than his completion of The Big Five eating challenge, as well as his unwavering passion for bread and potatoes. We also hear the loveliest story about Olivia Colman, which is always an excellent way to spend your time. Now, pass the Croydon croutons!

Last year, Nick and Angela visited him on his Radio 2 show and extended the invite to join us for dinner. This year, we managed to sync diaries and make it a Valentine's date! Romesh is a BAFTA-winning comedian, actor, writer and presenter. He is currently starring alongside Sheridan Smith in the West End Play, Woman In Mind, and took a seat with us to chat about his upcoming stand-up tour, Romesh Ranganathan Will Change Your Life. It's a show which he is promoting well in advance, with dates starting in January next year. Sounds organised? It has to be, with Romesh also hosting two podcasts, including Wolf & Owl with Tom Davis alongside TV shows such as The Weakest Link and A League Of Their Own. Officially booked and busy.  Over non-alcoholic fiery lime margaritas, we quickly got to understand the intricacies of Romesh's food likes and dislikes, including his late night chilli oil temptations and how his love of doughnuts made for a business venture. And, seeing as we are celebrating Valentine's Day, we pulled out The Oven Glove of Romesh Love, filled with Ranganathan appreciation to combat his talent for self-deprecation.  The decision for today was left in Angela's hands, as Romesh opted for ‘chef's choice'. Chef wisely decided on a delicious cauliflower and spinach curry with all the sides. The Waitrose wine experts paired this meal with a No.1 Gruner Veltliner, described as an exceptionally food friendly dry, crisp white wine.  Stick around for the End of Show Question, too, because we found a great courier for the goody bag delivery. He's on next week!  You can watch full episodes of Dish on YouTube and on Spotify.  All recipes from this podcast can be found at waitrose.com/dishrecipes A transcript for this episode can be found at waitrose.com/dish If you want to get in touch with us about anything at all, contact dish@waitrose.co.ukDish from Waitrose is made by Cold Glass Productions Learn more about your ad choices.

While the average SNL fan might not know Andy Aaron by name, they almost certainly know his work—his short films have been showcased on the show several times. His most well-known, "Push Button to Cross Street," was featured in Season 7 and shows an unknowing Tom Davis accidentally push the wrong button and cause a building to collapse.But Andy's connection with Saturday Night Live goes way back. His friendship with Chevy Chase predates the show and his first short film was one of the best pieces included in Mr. Mike's Mondo Video. He also has a really great one in the Burt Reynolds episode from Season 5 - so good that it prompted us to go out and track him down.We talk to Andy about ALL his short “disaster” films (including some he did for Sesame Street), his time as a writer on the short-lived The Chevy Chase Show, and working on such film classics as Apocalypse Now, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi.Note to listeners: We talk to Andy about many particulars of his work. We highly encourage you to check out Andy's YouTube page to watch his short films before listening to this episode. Don't worry, they're very short (and fun)! ---------------------------------Subscribe & Follow today!

On this week's PKMA Chris and Rosie are joined by comedian, actor and podcaster Tom Davis! As well as reading one of your weird and wonderful stories, Tom discusses why he loves Newcastle, the legendry Nando's black card, what it's like being a girl Dad AND he reveals who he was a body double for before he made it big time!

Veteran comedy writer Matt Neuman, whose story starts all the way back in the early 70s, joins us today to share his SNL story. He talks about the creation of his own sketch comedy show, The Chicken Little Show (where Father Guido Sarducci made his television debut 6 years before appearing on Saturday Night Live), working with a pre-SNL Al Franken & Tom Davis, and putting together a TV pilot with Rob Reiner. All this led him to work on the Emmy-nominated Lily Tomlin special where he would meet a young Canadian-born producer named Lorne Michaels. Matt shares why he turned down the offer to write for Saturday Night Live in Season 1, eventually joined the show for Season 5, and then returned once more after the firing of Jean Doumanian in Season 6.  In addition to his time working on SNL, Matt talks about visiting the show during its first season, contributing sketches during its second, and helping write the Bob & Ray, Jane, Laraine, & Gilda special during Season 4.As the one established writer to join the staff at the start of Season 5, Matt has a unique perspective on how the final season of the original era unfolded.  He takes us from the pre-season “retreat” that was held in upstate New York all the way through the final send-off of the season finale – on which he is featured in the monologue (which he helped write).Along the way we are treated to a firsthand account of one of the most infamously bad sketches in show history (by the man who wrote it), getting a private concert by Bob Dylan, and what impact– if any – the first competition to Saturday Night Live's dominance would have.---------------------------------Subscribe & Follow today!

Dr. Tom Davis preaching.

1. Bruce Pearl’s Career & Background Former Auburn basketball coach; won a Division II national championship and reached the Final Four twice. Unique fact: Pearl never played organized basketball (not even JV) before becoming a Division I coach. Started as a manager at Boston College, later became an assistant coach at Stanford under Tom Davis. Emphasizes making yourself valuable and being authentic as keys to success. 2. Coaching Philosophy Core principles: “Coach them as hard as you love them” – building deep relationships with players. Empower players and trust them; avoid micromanaging. Great coaches excel at creating offense and getting players good looks. Importance of roles and dimensions in a team: maximize strengths, hide weaknesses. Advice for young athletes: develop a unique skill or dimension that makes you stand out. 3. NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) & College Sports Pearl criticizes the NCAA for failing to adapt, calling it “arrogant” and responsible for chaos. NIL has transformed college sports: Top rosters now cost $35–$40 million annually. Smaller schools and Olympic sports are at risk of being cut. Advocates for urgent reform: Limited antitrust protection and congressional action to create fair rules. Warns that without changes, college sports will shrink to 30–50 elite programs. 4. Transfer Portal & Player Relationships Challenges in building trust and love when players stay only 6 months. Compares transfer portal dynamics to personal relationships—loyalty matters. 5. Broader Issues in Sports Concerns about betting and commercialization. Advice for high school athletes: play multiple sports early, specialize later, focus on nutrition and toughness. 6. Views on Israel & Anti-Semitism Strong advocate for Israel; sees American Jews as “the country’s greatest patriots.” Personal connection: family escaped Europe in 1929; others perished in the Holocaust. Believes silence equals complicity; stresses unity between Jews and Christians. Addresses rising anti-Semitism but emphasizes America still offers opportunity. 7. Cultural & Historical Insights Discusses theology, covenant, and shared values between Jews and Christians. Critiques “replacement theology” and urges solidarity against bigotry.

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.

Dr. Phil Shaffer and I are back in SC to testify yet again against a bill that would permit unsupervised NP and PA practice after 2,000 hours of experience. In this episode, I share subcommittee chair Senator Tom Davis's perspectives that SC will lose funding from the Rural Health Transformation project without scope expansion. You'll also hear a letter of support from the FTC Office of Policy Planning supporting scope expansion, and PPP's response explaining why the FTC should reconsider it's position in light of newer data.PhysiciansForPatientProtection.org
