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!)

Please use the term media cave, - I hate the phrase man cave - it’s reductive and derogatory. As Sebastian Maniscalco said “my father had a man cave it was the house”
Thank you for reminding me. I wanted to talk about our post-show hangout in Memphis and here it is:
“Go west ‘old man’!”
Here are our stops for our westward journey to begin on Monday 04/20/2026.
2198 miles in total.
My ‘calendar math’ was off by a day, I always forget to count ‘0’, as in the 20th. We will arrive at our destination, Superior MT, 27 April.
If you live close to any of these locations, and would like to ‘Break bread’, let us know!
