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.

sometimes I upload and it gives me a message that the video is "processing" but it never fully does! So anyway this one is from March 2nd
Also- I'm making the announcement before Michael does- I'll be on Jesse W Primetime tonight with CHARLIE guest hosting. so that probably means 8:50 or so. I guarantee we will be discussing the Oscars and other HOLLYWEIRD issues
Thank you for reminding me. I wanted to talk about our post-show hangout in Memphis and here it is:
Yes, im guest hosting tonight. And its done! Just finished the early taping and im on my way home.
“But, Butt Doc!”
My ever lovely wife and I had our colonoscopies performed by a local doctor here in GA.
Unfortunately for him, he sometime in the past, sold his practice to a conglomerate named ‘United Digestive’.
Why do I say ‘unfortunately’? Because we now need to find a new physician for any future ‘digestive’ testing, or care.
The care and work of the physician was just fine
It’s the billing we have issues with.
They over charged my wife by approximately $319.00, normally, they would just refund the amount to the credit card, or sometimes they send a check.
No, no they didn’t.
They sent her an email with a link to an ‘electronic gift card’ that had been loaded with the $319.00.
All she had to do was follow the link and download the card.
It’s accepted everywhere!
No, she did not.
Following the link and accepting the card would constitute a refund.
Therefore my beautiful bride spent an hour on the phone attempting to get a human that could refund OUR money to the card ‘THEY ...
“The Damndest thing”
I was patrolling a suburban area on the eastern side of US RT 1 (The One for you Californians).
George’s Place, you know, the little farm of the first President, is in the area.
Mt Vernon
It was around 02:00 hours when I received a call for a possible ‘break-in’ at an elementary school.
These were usually BS, wind rattled a window, some kid ‘egged’ the building, but it was rare to have an actual ‘B&E’ with an alarm.
This school was in a wealthy bucolic neighborhood along the Potomac River, it was bordered by the southern brick wall of Mt Vernon Plantation.
I was thinking it would probably be a nice walk around the school, then I’ll catch up on paperwork in the parking lot, just in case. No fuss, no muss…
I pulled up beside another ‘LTD Crown Vic’, except this one was white, and it had yellow lights.
County School Security…
Crap, I’ve got to deal with ‘Barney Fife’ too…
I exited my cruiser and the school security officer sprang from his vehicle.
Our uniforms differed in color, and he didn’t have a fire arm was the only real ...
