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.

Thank you for reminding me. I wanted to talk about our post-show hangout in Memphis and here it is:
“Family Man”
The left, not just in this country, but in the west and most developed nations, have been pushing this narrative.
“In order to be ‘truly fulfilled’, you need a career, and lots of disposable income, to buy ‘things’ to make you happy.”
Whether inadvertently, or purposely, it has caused a dramatic drop in the birth rate. After all, children aren’t cheap, and they require an investment of time.
These things make being a high earning, selfish consumer, problematic.
The solution to this, according to western Progressive Governments is to import the third world, because they are still having babies.
Not having children, in my humble opinion, is an act of selfish denial.
I was once there myself.
I was afraid of being a father.
What the hell do I know about being a ‘Dad’, I’m still a ‘kid’ myself.
I, in my opinion, had horrible selfish parents. If birth control was readily available in the ‘50s and early ‘60s, I wouldn’t exist.
That made me afraid that I would be the same. I really didn’t have an example of...
“Translation“
Of Bad Bunny’s song he sang at the superbowl halftime show…
According to GROK
Here is the English translation of the lyrics to “Safaera” by Bad Bunny featuring Jowell & Randy and Ñengo Flow (from the album YHLQMDLG). This track is known for its highly explicit, party-focused, and sexually graphic content, with frequent beat switches and reggaeton references. The translation is based on widely accepted versions (primarily from Genius English Translations, cross-checked with other sources).
Note: The lyrics contain very strong explicit language, sexual references, and vulgarity — this is one of the most NSFW reggaeton tracks out there. “Safaera” itself is Puerto Rican slang roughly meaning “debauchery,” “filthiness,” or “wild/promiscuous mess.”

Hey Tom 😘 I haven’t posted here in a while and should have. Things here are better as time passes and I really look forward to the show in Clarksville TN in September. Sure hope we can run into each other there 🙂 getting used to being a widow has been a journey I wasn’t ready for but friends have been there and I have continued on, better every day. Having God in my life was crucial. He knows what He’s doing. He knows what I need, and Faith has kept me upright. So one foot in front of the other and onward. I pray y’all are well and happy on your end 💕
