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!)

Yesterday’s video failed to upload. We’ll see how this one does.it was called “by the fire…with no fire”
Thank you for reminding me. I wanted to talk about our post-show hangout in Memphis and here it is:
“Eye poke”
It’s been a while since I posted an ‘eye poke’.
Whenever I wear a shirt that may cause consternation among liberals, I call it an ‘eye poke’.
I’ve not been asked about this particular shirt yet. I’ve got the answer prepared.
“What does that even mean?!?”
“It means, that if you are anti-Semitic, you can kiss my ass…”
I wore it today to Missoula, a liberal (for MT) college town. I received lots of choice ‘stink eye’, especially from an Islamist man at Wally World. I blew him a kiss…
A young woman in Costco yelled “I love your shirt!”
“Why thank you ever so much!”
I find a weird pleasure in other people’s impotent anger.
Puts a spring into my step.
It makes me happy.
