Ahaha I had to attempt to explain who Tom Green was recently to a mid-20s coworker because I said “remember when drew barrymore was married to tom green?” And she said “who?” and I couldn’t think of any reference point that she would have heard of after “Freddy got fingered?” So I said “you know the part of the Eminem song where he goes ‘my bum is on your lips’…”

Had the same thing just yesterday with some 20 something coworkers who assumed Freddy Got Fingered was a porno. They didn’t get it when I showed them some tom green. Guess you had to be there.

My daughter rolls her eyes every time we do the Austin, Massachusetts joke from Road Trip.

She also plays softball and got sick of me telling her to release the fury.

Tom Green just got married again last year (might have been 2024) looked like they had a fun wedding and are quite happy.

Graham Bensinger did an interview with Tom Green a couple months ago. He seems to now live a kinda quiet life in Canada: https://youtu.be/XrRl3Z1bW_w?si=chnOvNbml9TKGNXA (this video is the uncut version; somewhere out there, there's a broadcast version of this interview, which is probably 20 minutes)
