Tom Shaw Talks Viral Fame and Musical Roots on Lunch With Doug



 At The Local Ear, we’re always tuned in to the stories behind the sound—and this week, one of the quirkiest voices in internet music history stopped by Lunch With Doug for a midday chat that’s equal parts hilarious and heartfelt.

Tom Shaw, best known as “Moose” from the fictional duo Toasters ‘N’ Moose, joined me for Season 9, Episode 68 to talk about the unexpected journey that led to viral fame through the cult mockumentary Chickens in the Shadows. While the song “Taste the Biscuit” was penned by filmmaker Vincent Gargiulo, it was Tom’s performance—deadpan, soulful, and oddly magnetic—that helped launch the track into meme legend.

We dug into:

  • 🎬 The making of Chickens in the Shadows and how Tom got involved

  • 🎹 His musical background, from theater to keyboard wizardry

  • 🌐 What it’s like to become a viral sensation years after the fact

  • 🥖 And yes, we talk about the biscuit

Tom’s story is a reminder that creativity takes many forms—and sometimes, the most unexpected projects leave the biggest mark. Whether you’re a longtime fan of the show or just discovering the magic of Toasters ‘N’ Moose, this episode is worth your lunch break.
