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!)

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 4”
Of the 2026 Cavalcade
972 miles
My beautiful bride is 1 day ahead as she is counting the day we left MBB’s house, I’m counting from the day we rode the ferry and joined US101 (the 101 for you Californians).
We left Beverly bay Campground around 11:00, as we only had 3 hours 45 minutes, and check in at the next park was 16:00.
We made multiple stops to look at the ocean. In one place we had a ‘snacky mcsnack-snack’ as my big sister calls them. Two pieces of Tillamook Cheese, and summer sausage.
We stopped for fuel in the last town before we would get Cape Blanco.
We decided to grab dinner in the small town of ‘Bandon’ OR.
We rode through this neighborhood by accident and it had amazing views. Houses right on the cliff overlooking ‘Haystacks’ or large rocks out in the ocean below cliffs.
We didn’t stop there to get any pictures as it was almost all private properties.
