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!)

Heres a little travelogue- with focus on the travel part (i left my phone in my bag all weekend)
(OK the last post seemed like it had no sound.) Here's the headline video- as I said it's just me thinking aloud about what would make me want to click on a headline when I'm scrolling...
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 22”
Of the 2026 Cavalcade
2890 miles
We stayed at the hotel yesterday. It was raining all morning, and there were heavy gusts of wind.
I asked GROK for a comprehensive weather report for our ride to Joshua Tree NP. Heavy rain, wind gust up to 50 mph.
GROK basically told me to wait until today.
So we did, of course yesterday, around 12:00 PM, the sun broke through and it was a lovely day.
I was a tad annoyed, we are in a ‘Marriott’ property and I’m a ‘Lifetime Platinum’ member, so I can wait to check out at 16:00.
We walked over to Costco which is behind the hotel, and saved some money on supper. On our way we found an historical marker here in front of the hotel. It’s for a small dilapidated adobe house just behind the hotel. It’s the oldest Adobe house in California, built in 1790.
My love bought some California Rolls Sushi, I bought a tray of Shashimi.
It’s currently 09:20, we are going to load up and leave by 10:30, as our checkin time at Joshua Tree is not until ...
