If you know the movie “This Is Spinal Tap,” you will certainly recall the moment Spinal Tap bassist Derek Smalls describes himself as the band conduit, "David and Nigel are like poets, you know, like Shelley or Byron, or people like that. The two totally distinct types of visionaries, it’s like fire and ice, and I feel my role in the band is to be kind of the middle of that, kind of like lukewarm water.” Well, on today’s Quick Tap, our guests tell us about the times they left puddles of themselves for a higher purpose. Songwriter Freedy Johnston introduces Lou Reed and Joey Ramone; author and rapscallion Scott Nathan recounts the time he connected Leonardo DiCaprio to a Martin Scorsese flick; and The Pulsars Dave Trumfio reminisces about how he got a rise out of Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher with rock legend Cynthia Plaster Caster.

Some auditions are really ODDitions in disguise. On this TMEP Show Quick Tap, Divine Sweater lead singer Meghan Kelleher reveals how a one-off emergency gig led to a permanent one; 86-year-old TikTok influencer Annie Korzen tells us why she said "Yes" to a role on a little-known show about nothing...and banked $100,000 in residuals; and actor/comedian Jeff Grace guides us through the land mines he had to avoid after landing a role on Mad Men.

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.

Our guests regale us with Spinal Tap Moments when they experienced the famous at their most shameless. 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.
