Just saw this quote in an old interview I did from 2006. Note the Trump reference- it’s hard to remember when Trump was “just” a reality-TV host. And before that, a well-known rich guy.
(I’ll post the article below if you find it interesting)
This part was referring to an internet-based “cat reality show” I had hosted around that time-
Int: Was there a particular pun on the show you enjoyed most?
Tom “My weekly catchphrase "You are Meowta here!" Not that it's not a stupid thing to have to say every episode, but I always wanted my own TV catchphrase, like Fonzy or Freddie Prince. Or Trump.”
What a trio huh? Fonzy (Aaaaaayyyy!) Freddie Prinze (Looking Good!) and Trump, (You’re Fired)
Here’s the rest of this (remember, it’s from 17 years ago!)

I thought I might beat Michael to this post. Look at this video how often do you do this? I recorded all our entrances including Greg and then I went around the panel to show all the people who are on tonight- then I pressed the button to stop but I wasn’t taping (i do this a lot)
Thank you for reminding me. I wanted to talk about our post-show hangout in Memphis and here it is:
“Day 3”
of the 2026 Cavalcade.
809 miles traveled so far.
Note didn’t have enough bandwidth to post yesterday.
Today is day 4 .
from day 2;- I forgot to mention the Elk doe we saw on the right shoulder of the road eating grass.
Scared the crap out of me. All she had to do was turn and walk 5 feet, we’d be just a memory.
We left Nehalem late, the dew was so heavy that there were puddles.
The sun did finally come out and we used towels to dry the roof of the pop-up in order to fold it up.
Short ride day, 165 miles, although because we kept going through small beach towns, it took 4 hours of seat time.
We stopped at the Tillamook plant and took the self guided factory tour. We then bought some cheese.
We also had some ice cream, it was a creamery after all.
I had a strawberry malt, and my beautiful bride had a single scoop of chocolate coffee.
We are currently ensconced in Beverly Bay state park. Still in Oregon. @The_CINC took pity on me and rented a ‘yurt’ for the night.
So no set up/take ...
