Eli tells us about the time his band Moon Kissed was on its way to a big gig at SXSW in Austin, Texas when the COVID shut down blew out the conference and threatened to do the same to NYC as they rushed to get home.

On today’s TMEP Show Quick Tap (short episodes with short stories for short attention spans) we hear stories from artists who just so happen to be female, about moments dealing with a-holes who just so happen to be male. Tyler Simone Molton from the band Lesibu Grand dishes on how often sound men ask her male bandmates how she likes her vocals...instead of just asking her; actress Dina Spybey Waters (“Six Feet Under” and “Just Like Heaven”) makes us cringe about the time she expressed concern to a producer about being objectified only to be objectified some more; and recording artist Kandle tells us her harrowing experience about nearly being kidnapped from behind the merchandise booth at her own gig. If someone can’t be safe behind a merch table, where can they???

On Election Day, we go two steps FORWARD by taking one small step back to our 2022 conversation with artist/activist Shepard Fairey who designed both the iconic Obama “Hope” poster and Kamala Harris’ “Forward” poster. Shepard gets Frank with us about why he almost added an asterisk to an Ozzy Osbourne tour poster; the outrage he felt as a boy when the Village People’s “YMCA” fell off the top of the charts; and the reason “Diabetic” is his only tattoo.

Peter Jest, owner of the legendary Milwaukee club Shank Hall (sound familiar?) tells us about his run-ins with notorious partiers Warren Zevon and Sam Kinnison; The Pulsars Dave Trumfio dodges balls from Oasis front man Liam Gallagher; and author/photographer Scott Michael Nathan stings Sting and gets stung back.

Vicki bangs out some manic Spinal Tap Moments like the time the Bangles had an uncomfortable listening party with Prince at two in the morning; when she brought a big old tape recorder to the group’s first meeting with legendary manager Miles Copeland; and chatting with the late great Jeff Beck about Spinal Tap guitarist Nigel Tufnel’s copycat hairdo.

Glen croaks out some of the best Spinal Tap Moments we’ve heard including the day his band did an in-store promotion in a Footloose town where pinball machines were illegal; the night they stayed at a hotel that was so (un)hygienic even the door knobs had condoms; and the time he was upstaged by Weird Al Yankovic at a Ben Folds concert.

Strange things happen when shows are a bit off. Like the time YouTube phenom Kyle Gordon played a gig and 1/3rd of the audience was unruly, which is particularly bad when there are only three people at the gig. And podcast host Cam Herdt tells us about the time he accidentally insulted his boss at a show which could have gotten him fired if he hadn’t already quit. Finally, Swerve bandmates Gregory Mahdesian and Ryan Berti wished they’d could have shoveled a member of Snow Patrol off stage.

This month, FX released the second season of its hit show, The Old Man, so we decided to replay this classic episode with one of the stars, Amy Brenneman. In addition to the inside skinny on The Old Man, Amy recounts being the first person ever to take off their clothes on network TV; an ackward encounter trying to snap a selfie with punk rock icon Patti Smith in front of a live audience; and what it's been like to work with some of the greatest actors in history including Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Jeff Bridges, and John Lithgow.

When you’re a struggling band on the road, you sometimes have to crash wherever you can like in the homes of potential serial killers who’ve decorated their place with bugs, bloody handprints, and missing teeth. On this Quick Tap, you’ll hear some not-so-relaxing bedtime stories from Palehound’s Elle Kempner, blues guitarist Bex Marshall, James Joseph from James and the Cold Gun, and Michael Deni from Geographer.

Influential drummer (and epic storyteller) Todd Sucherman gets multiple rimshots telling us what it was like playing the late night TV circuit with Spinal Tap; why he never wears white when on stage with wild animals; and how surreal it was to play with David Hasselhoff at the Tribute Concert for Princess Diana back in 1998. Todd also spills the tea on the highs and lows of being in a band with Allen.

You may be driven to tears during this episode as Lo Moon’s Matt Lowell recounts the time the guy driving their tour bus searched for their gig using the North Star instead of Google Maps; composer Daniel Davies’ driver decided he was going to drink and drive the 16 hours to Canada without a bathroom break; recording artist Arsun had a European driver who truly believed it’s the journey not the destination; and the inimitable Citizen Cope tells us about the time he was on the road supporting a new record with a driver who had his own type of record - a criminal one.

We’ve had more stories than we care to mention about musicians having to jump through poops, we mean HOOPS, to answer nature’s call on the road. In this special TMEP Show episode, we dropped the kids off at the pool (cuz we had so much work to do) and went deep into the bowels of the TMEP Show archives to squeeze out the very best examples of potty humor — stories from Styx, Sleater-Kinney, Drive-By Truckers, OK Go, and more. So sit back, put down that 2009 issue of Good Housekeeping magazine you’ve read thousands of times while doing your business, and enjoy!
