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!)

(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 11
Of the 2026 Cavalcade
1770 miles
We stayed Tuesday night in Bodega bay. I spoke with the lady operating the motel, we’d either have to extend our stay, or leave our little trailer there until we can get the Scoot back. They didn’t have any rooms, except for Wednesday night.
That wouldn’t work, so she said she’d call the owner about the trailer. I told her we’d pay to store it if necessary.
About 20 minutes later a Hispanic man knocked on our door, and said he was there to help me move the trailer. We pulled it down the street and around the corner to his driveway, where it is now.
We then drove directly to the Harley Shop in Pacheco.
I went over the clutch and throttle issues with the service manager.
He gave me a ‘worst case’ estimate , because many of the checks and adjustments they would make would be included in a 60k service I was also getting.
Like I said ‘Hundreds of Dollars’ to say the least.
While there I picked up a ‘Dealer Patch’ for my chaps. Every dealer patch...
On my phone as i scrolled back. Not too long ago- Nov of 2024. Im outside on Fox Square. You can see Pete behind me. Now sec of War. Will Cain is there- he hadn’t gotten his own show yet. Rachel is still at FF but her husband is sec of transportation. Things change quickly!
