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:
“Ensconced just outside”
Of Paducah Kentucky.
Home of ‘The National Quilt Museum’.
I-24 seems as though it has speed bumps. Almost as rough as I-40 through Arkansas or I-70 through Ohio.
The site we are in isn’t long enough to park my little black truck at the site.
I had to park at a wide spot across the road behind me.
This is the largest site they have.
The woman whom checked us in came out to talk to me and said:
“I don’t think I’ve ever seen one this big!”
To my loves horror I replied:
“That’s what all of the girls say…”
I can’t help myself…
“On the Oregon Trail?!?”
I’ve been stressing about everything I need to get done to start our sojourn westward.
I don’t exhibit it.
It is there.
I didn’t sleep well last night worrying about it.
So this morning, immediately after coffee, I went out to get the remainder accomplished, worrying I wouldn’t have enough time prior to our attending an afternoon LAX match. The last of the season for El Presidente, and then dinner to celebrate my beloved’s 65th birthday.
I finished everything except for;
Topping off the pressure in the outside passenger tire on ‘The Dude’, Filling up ‘The Dude’ with fuel, and loading the Scoot in the garage.
When I to go get fuel at a nearby truck stop, I’ll top off the tire as I’m sure they’ve a high pressure air pump. Mine makes the process a pain in the ass. I laid under the back of the truck for 20 minutes and was only able to raise the pressure about 6 lbs. When you are talking 22” 110lbs tire pressure. It takes awhile.
After we load ...
