SME played one show at the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame, did a week on the Warped tour, and ended the tour in the fall of 2001 by crashing their van into a police car on the interstate.
By the following spring, SME did a number of tours at this time including the Vans Warped Tour. Highfield left the band and the group went on hiatus in 2003.
The band regrouped in 2004 and began working on a new album. They released their third album Conditioned by the Laugh Track in 2005.
