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:
“It’s been”
Nine years.
March 2017, I picked up my ‘little black truck’ from the dealer.
We sold our ‘palatial’ 7 acre VA estate 25 July 2017.
We then drove to Junction City Kansas, in my little black truck, to the manufacturer of the Big Blue Beast.
We pulled out on our adventure August 8th 2017.
We’ve 190,000 miles on my little black truck, more than half of those miles were pulling the Big Blue Beast.
What a long strange trip it’s been.
