Since I was looking for that old Redeye clip yesterday I came across this. The first two weeks of RE and the two weeks of my book release were both a blizzard of promotion- so I remember none of it. It's fun for me to look back and read these interviews and read it as an "outsider." Doesn't this guy seem almost annoyingly upbeat? I realize I like to keep a positive attitude but this is ridiculous! Half kidding really, if I read this interview I would probably tune in to the show to see what this guy is all about.

Int:
Congratulations on the new gig.
Tom:
I’m very excited.
Int:
Before the official announcement, you tweeted, “A guy gets asked to host his favorite show.” Is Red Eye truly your favorite show?
Tom:
Yes! I saw the very first show and thought, “Whoa, this show is a mess, but it’s really entertaining.” It was so raw and unpredictable. I wondered if I was the only one watching it. Gradually, I realized that it had kind of a cult following. I always thought, “I’d love to be a guest on that show, but I’m not going to humble myself and call them and beg.” Then, one day, they gave me a call and asked me to be a guest on the show. That started my relationship with the show. It was my favorite show to watch. One of the things about doing the show as a panelist is that … I liked to just sit back and watch it from home and be objective. When I became a part of the regular crew, it kind of became my thing now, so I couldn’t be one of the fans any more. I never thought I would take over as host of the show. Once I started guest hosting I thought, “If Greg ever leaves this gig, I think I could step up and do this. I wonder if they would consider me?” It came to be. It’s a dream come true.

I find this woman’s response to be ridiculous enough to dismiss but interesting enough to discuss
Thank you for reminding me. I wanted to talk about our post-show hangout in Memphis and here it is:

Where the hell do I volunteer?!?
Off duty LEOs, veterans and concerned citizens are driving vehicles that look like unmarked vehicles, so that the Dumbasses think they are ICE…

“The first cut”
Is the deepest…
I cut two butcher’s snacks to square it up. I then cut two 15+ oz NY strips, and a 8 oz NY Strip from it.
The remaining almost 10 lbs will feed 8 people at tomorrow night’s gathering.
The Strip Loin cost $139.00, that’s just a little over $17.00 per person. Plus five more steaks, cheaper than a steak house.
I will Sous Vide it for 8-10 hours tomorrow @ 135F.
By the way, my Breaking Knife is sharp as hell. Thankfully I only sliced one finger.
Not badly.
I was wiping the knife off and got a finger a little too close to the working end.
