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 find this woman’s response to be ridiculous enough to dismiss but interesting enough to discuss
Thank you for reminding me. I wanted to talk about our post-show hangout in Memphis and here it is:
“Hanging out”
With my boy, ‘The Prodigal’.
His bride and he just purchased a house, built in the ‘50s.
They are painting and making repairs/updates before they move in.
Unfortunately for me, I’m a ‘home improvement’ expert.
When ‘The Prodigal’ was around 5 or 6, and I’d just finished complete bathroom remodel. He said “Wow dad! You’re a regular ‘Bob Viwa’ (Bob Villa, ‘This Old House’ host). 🤣😂🤣🤣😂
I’ve a kitchen sink with faucet, a dishwasher, a shower faucet, and drywall work to do.
Norm Abraham’s did all of the work, Bob only hosted the show and talked to the contractors.
I wish I was a Bob Villa.
😂🤣😂😂
Picture: My boy and me… I’m wearing my reading glasses.
“Greetings”
‘From Florida’
Today, we are packing up to spend a month in an ‘Air B&B’ down near St Pete, and the ‘Prodigal’. We make like a baby and ‘Head out’ tomorrow.
We will be sharing the house with @The_CINC ‘s parents ‘The CSM and Graham’.
We were originally going to ride the scoot down, but my love wimped out because it will be in the 20’s tomorrow.
We are ‘hard core’!
I guess not, but I will be loading the scoot on a ‘U-Haul’ toy hauler trailer. We are taking it down so we can ride it in the warm weather.
