Too Much Effing Perspective

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! -------------------------------------------------- Get the VIP treatment with 30% OFF your first year subscription to DISTROKID. http://distrokid.com/vip/tmep is where it all happens.
