Episode Overview

The Bobby Bones crew (Bobby, Eddie, Brandon, Mike, Ashley, and more) gather for a music draft—but with a twist. The challenge: pick the greatest fictional bands (and, eventually, solo artists) from TV, film, and pop culture. The episode is unscripted and freewheeling, packed with impromptu rules, passionate defenses of picks, and memories of iconic “fake” bands that have left a real imprint on music and entertainment.

Drafting the Greatest Fictional Bands (03:00 – 47:10)

How the Draft Works

• Host: Bobby Bones
• Participants: Eddie, Brandon, Mike, Ashley, others
• Rules:
  • Four rounds; each participant picks their best fictional bands/artists.
  • No prep, research, or devices – just memory!
  • Initially, only “fictional bands,” but rules broaden to include solo “fictional artists” (e.g., Hannah Montana, Dewey Cox).

Reese Witherspoon here checking into my favorite hotel in Paris.

[Bobby]

Bonjour. Bonjour.

[Reese Witherspoon]

I'm traveling with my Wells Fargo autograph Journey card so I earn rewards wherever I book. Travel five times points with hotels, four times with airlines, three times on restaurants and other travel and one point on other purchases. Phew, that was a lot. I need to lie down. Is the room ready?

[Bobby]

Visit Wells Fargo.com autographjourney Terms apply.

[Skyrizi Advertiser]

I love days like these at the pool, but my moderate to severe plaque psoriasis can sometimes take me out of the moment. I'm ready to make a splash with clearer skin thanks to Skyrizi. Risankizumab RZA Skyrizi is a prescription only injection for adults who are candidates for systemic or phototherapy. At four months, most people saw 90% clearer skin when measured from head to toe and many were even 100% plaque free. People also saw significant improvement in psoriasis. Symptoms of pain, redness, itching and burning.

[Reese Witherspoon]

Don't use if allergic to Skyrizi. Serious allergic reactions, increased infections or lower ability to fight them may occur before treatment. Get checked for infections and tuberculosis. Tell your doctor about any flu like symptoms or vaccines.

[Skyrizi Advertiser]

Now there's nothing on my skin thanks to Skyrizi and that means everything. Ask your doctor about Skyrizi, the number one dermatologist prescribed biologic in psoriasis. Visit skyrizi.com or call 1-866-Skyrizi to learn.

[Eddie]

Go.

[Brandon]

It's called soccer.

[Eddie]

It's called football.

[Guest or Additional Speaker]

Soccer.

[Bobby]

Foot Bo Domino's Best deal ever.

[Commercial Voice]

Lets you get any pizza including stuffed crust with any toppings for $9.99.

[Bobby]

Okay, we can agree on that.

[Eddie]

Yeah, fully.

[Bobby]

So pineapple. Don't ruin it.

[Commercial Voice]

Get any pizza including stuffed crust with

[Bobby]

any toppings for 9.99. Finally, something everyone can get behind.

[Eddie]

And if the rest disagree, that's between them and Domin.

[Bobby]

Which means the only thing left to

[Brandon]

fight over is who's ordering Dom.

[Mike]

Mm.

[Troy Millings]

Minnows.

[Bobby]

Price is higher for some locations. Excludes XL and specialty pizzas. Select this offer from $6.15 to $7.26 online only. Size availability varies by crust. Tank max 7 toppings, 6 for pan and New York style crust. Minimum purchase required for delivery. Prices, participation, delivery area and charges may vary.

[Commercial Voice]

PNC bank brings you call of the wild money moves. Shh.

[HomeServe Advertiser]

Listen.

[Bobby]

Hey guys.

[Commercial Voice]

That's the sound of a multi level marketing pitch.

[Bobby]

This is life changing you.

[Commercial Voice]

Sounds like she wants you to buy lots of essential oils.

[Reese Witherspoon]

They are so essential.

[Commercial Voice]

And then have all your friends buy essential oils.

[Reese Witherspoon]

Are you more of a geranium or lavender fan?

[Commercial Voice]

Don't look her in the eyes. Guard against wild money moves with PNC Bank. Brilliantly boring since 1865.

[Bobby]

Hey, everybody. Welcome to the Bobbycast. We don't know the topic. We're gonna draft something that has to do with music. It'll be thrown to us live. We're not using any devices. No computers, no phones. We have Eddie, who is a musician. Who is. What do you do?

[Brandon]

I just love music.

[Bobby]

Loves music. You know Brandon, who's singer, songwriter, Great guitar player. Great singer.

[Brandon]

Okay, that's too much.

[Bobby]

Is he not.

[Brandon]

He is, but man.

[Bobby]

And then me and. So do you want to do the order first before we do?

[Mike]

Yeah, we can do that.

[Bobby]

So up on the screen, if you're watching on Netflix, whoever it lands on will be first. And then we'll go clockwise from whoever finishes first.

[Brandon]

Come on, baby.

[Mike]

Ready to spin? Yep.

[Bobby]

We did not know the topic yet. You probably do if you're watching this, because it was up in the.

[Brandon]

The title.

[Bobby]

The title?

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

Like, we don't know it yet, but you do.

[Mike]

All right.

[Bobby]

Brandon will go first.

[Commercial Voice]

All right.

[Brandon]

And then we're going that way, clockwise.

[Bobby]

So no phones. We're not even writing stuff down.

[Eddie]

Dang, this is tough.

[Bobby]

Mike will give us the topic. And, Mike, what will we be selecting today?

[Mike]

We will be drafting the greatest fictional bands of all time.

[Brandon]

Oh, my God.

[Bobby]

Oh, wow. What are the rules here?

[Mike]

We're doing four rounds. They have to be fictional.

[Bobby]

Okay. That's the only rule.

[Mike]

That's it. Fictional band.

[Bobby]

Okay. Four rounds. Brandon, you have the first overall pick. And this is not Snake. We're just rolling in circles.

[Commercial Voice]

Okay.

[Bobby]

Okay, go ahead.

[Eddie]

I'm going to go with Spinal Tap.

[Brandon]

I mean, that's really good.

[Bobby]

Great movie. I wonder. We're going to go to AI at the end. I was going to give Spinal Tap, like, great credit, but, like, young people know what Spinal Tap is.

[Brandon]

Yeah. Because they're in there. A new one.

[Ashley]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

But that's for the old people that watched it.

[Brandon]

You're right. You're right.

[Mike]

It wasn't that good.

[Bobby]

It wasn't.

[Eddie]

No. Yeah.

[Brandon]

I don't know if the younger people would know Spinal Tap.

[Ashley]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

I'm gonna go with. And I was sad this band broke up because I really wanted to see them together. They had a massive song. But when they broke up, when the singer went solo, and it's because his. His manager was with them, and you could tell when they were playing in the garage when his manager was with them, that something was up.

[Brandon]

What are you talking about?

[Bobby]

Where are you going?

[Brandon]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm trying to figure out.

[Bobby]

The vibe of the group just started to not be great. And it was weird because you don't bring your manager in the garage for a rehearsal.

[Commercial Voice]

Oh.

[Bobby]

Oh, it's Zach Attack.

[Brandon]

Zack Attack.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Bobby]

Zack Morris. Kelly. I think Slater was on drums. I think Screech played keys.

[Brandon]

They were so cheesy.

[Bobby]

And not only that, the people that they had hired to sing for them, their voices sounded nothing like the actual people in the. Zach Attack.

[Brandon]

Yeah, because, like, you would listen to me. There's no way Zach could sing like that.

[Bobby]

Like the lead singers, like a mid-40s black dude. It just didn't look like what Zack Morris looked like.

[Brandon]

That's a really good.

[Bobby]

And they broke up Friends Forever jam. I'm going, Zach.

[Brandon]

Did they have a keytar? Like, probably like one of them played a keytar. I think it was Lisa.

[Bobby]

Interesting.

[Brandon]

I feel like Lisa played a key.

[Bobby]

Did somebody play keytar? And then Screech played key. We're not gonna go to our phones, so.

[Brandon]

Yeah, I don't. I don't remember.

[Bobby]

We'll have to fall on Mike for that.

[Brandon]

But I know Slater was on the drums.

[Eddie]

Mm.

[Brandon]

Yeah, right.

[Bobby]

I would think Slater was a drummer. Mike, what do you think?

[Mike]

It was just a promo picture where Slater's holding a keytar, but in the band, there's not a keytar.

[Brandon]

Oh, okay.

[Mike]

Zach is on guitar.

[Bobby]

Okay.

[Mike]

Eddie.

[Bobby]

Fictional. Fictional band.

[Brandon]

I'm gonna be honest. It's kind of hard thinking of a fictional band. So you. I had one in mind, which was kind of like b. Like a. Like a middle of the road band. But after you talked about Zach Attack, I thought about Jesse and the Rippers.

[Bobby]

That was also gonna be my first one, dude.

[Brandon]

When Jesse comes down, you know, from the. The ropes, and he gets stuck, he's like, ah. Remember that?

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

But he was a different person when that happened.

[Brandon]

Oh, that was. That wasn't the Rippers.

[Eddie]

Oh, that was something different.

[Bobby]

He. He was, like, trying to change their image, and he was like, they're like John Stamos. Is it?

[Brandon]

That's right.

[Bobby]

Again, we have no research tools here, but Jesse Rippers did forever, obviously. And then they went to Japan, which is the only reason I went to Japan. Yes, Because Jesse.

[Brandon]

That's the only reason you went.

[Bobby]

That's the only reason. Excellent band.

[Brandon]

But you think that the scene where he comes down as the vampire, that's Yeah, I feel it was somebody trying to change them.

[Bobby]

Yeah, that was it. They were trying to change their image.

[Brandon]

That's what it was.

[Bobby]

And.

[Brandon]

But they might have still been the Rippers.

[Bobby]

He came down as, like, Goblin.

[Brandon]

Yeah, yeah. He gets stuck. He's like, get me down from here.

[Bobby]

Rock and roll, Mike. What do you see?

[Mike]

I'm hitting a different band. Hold on.

[Bobby]

He's researching on the fly.

[Brandon]

What I also loved are how the Rippers sometimes showed up just kind of at the house. They're just hanging out, just with long hair.

[Eddie]

Hey, Bobby, why don't you just text John Stamos?

[Bobby]

I mean, I could.

[Brandon]

Hey, man. Yeah.

[Eddie]

What was the episode when you got

[Brandon]

stuck on the wires?

[Bobby]

It had to be like Raven.

[Brandon]

Oh, my gosh. That sounds right. It is something like Raven.

[Mike]

Okay. I'm seeing vulture.

[Skyrizi Advertiser]

Vulture.

[Eddie]

Vulture.

[Brandon]

Vulture. And that's when his tongue was sticking out.

[Bobby]

Solid picto. My wife and I first dance at our wedding was to Jesse and the Rippers Forever. Yeah. Which was a Beach Boy song sang by Dennis Wilson, right?

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

I wrote it.

[Brandon]

Written by Dennis Wilson.

[Bobby]

Sang by the Brian. Sing it.

[Brandon]

Yeah, probably.

[Bobby]

Okay, so good pick. Thank you, Brandon.

[Eddie]

I'm so glad neither of you stole this pick because this is. This is one of my all time favorite movies. This is a band that started in a garage. They won a talent competition, and Tom Hanks was actually their manager.

[Brandon]

That's so good.

[Eddie]

The Wonders. That thing you do.

[Brandon]

That is so good. I love that movie.

[Bobby]

That's such a good movie. And the Oneters is funny because they wanted to spell it different.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

Like the Beatles will spell different.

[Mike]

Right?

[Troy Millings]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

Number one, O, N, E. That's the Onetters.

[Brandon]

And then Tom Han's like, too complicated.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Brandon]

We're calling you the Wonders. And then they end up spelling it Wonders with a W. Right, right, right, right.

[Bobby]

Well, is Steven Tyler's daughter in that?

[HomeServe Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Guest or Additional Speaker]

Liv.

[Commercial Voice]

Yes.

[Brandon]

Yeah, yeah.

[Bobby]

She played the love interest.

[Brandon]

Yes.

[Eddie]

Of the lead singer. The lead singer. Yeah.

[Bobby]

And was the lead singer at one point married to Jana Kramer?

[Brandon]

That would be a surprise to me.

[Troy Millings]

Whoa.

[Brandon]

But I did see the lead singer on an airplane once.

[Eddie]

That's cool.

[Brandon]

Coming from la. And it's one of those things where you walk by him, you know, I was walking down the aisle and I saw him sitting there like, that guy looks familiar.

[Bobby]

Mike.

[Mike]

Yeah. They were married from 2010 to 2011.

[Skyrizi Advertiser]

Dude.

[Bobby]

What's his name?

[Mike]

Yeah, what's his name? His name is Jonathan. I can't say his last name. Shay. Shay. Sh

[Brandon]

A, E, C, H Let me tell you something. I quit.

[Eddie]

I quit. I was literally. I quit. I quit. Mr. White.

[Brandon]

Dude, that's so good.

[Bobby]

Brandon, good job. Good job. Okay, so Brandon has Spinal Tap and the Wonders.

[Eddie]

What a great tour.

[Bobby]

I have Zach Attack. I only have, like, two other ones in my head.

[Eddie]

We gotta pick four a piece.

[Bobby]

Yeah.

[Troy Millings]

Oof.

[Bobby]

There's one from. I don't know. To give Eddie any hints.

[Brandon]

Yeah, don't, because I just stole Jesse and the Rippers from you.

[Bobby]

Okay. I nailed it. I got it. This should have been my first number one. N. Zack Attack is legit.

[Brandon]

What do you got?

[Bobby]

I have to go to the judge for this one. Fictional. But can it count? Someone by the name of Hannah Montana.

[Brandon]

Oh, is that a band?

[Eddie]

Really good.

[Bobby]

It's music. It's fictional music.

[Brandon]

Because we can do fictional artists.

[Eddie]

Ooh.

[Brandon]

Because that's a whole different thing. I think it needs to be a band.

[Eddie]

Oh, man. Fictional artists. That's like a whole new episode.

[Brandon]

Yeah. Yeah. And I wasn't thinking about that.

[Bobby]

Sing and put out music. Did your people. What fictional artist would you pick? Selena's real. I got news for you.

[Brandon]

Like, a fictional artist would be like.

[Bobby]

Yeah, it's so easy. Pick one.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Chris Gaines.

[Brandon]

Chris Gaines is a fictional artist.

[Bobby]

Real artist.

[Brandon]

No, that's Garth.

[Bobby]

Okay.

[Brandon]

Hey. He ain't fooling anyone.

[Eddie]

Same Miley Cyrus.

[Bobby]

Chris Gaines never. That movie never came out.

[Eddie]

The album did.

[Bobby]

Yeah, but the movie did. Miley Cyrus is a TV show. All this stuff's from a movie or a TV show, not just music. You could say a lot of artists are fictional. These fake names and play.

[Eddie]

He was on Saturday Night Live.

[Brandon]

Izzy Star. Stardust.

[Bobby]

Ziggy Stardust.

[Brandon]

That guy.

[Bobby]

But that's not like a production. It's gotta be in a production where they're playing a character.

[Brandon]

Okay.

[Bobby]

Also, we're making these rules up as we go.

[Brandon]

Okay, But I feel like if you do Hannah Montana.

[Bobby]

Oh, you know what? Open it up then. Okay.

[Eddie]

That's.

[Bobby]

As long as there's a show or movie about them and they're playing that fictional person, you can have it.

[Eddie]

Cause now that we're thinking, we can't think of any.

[Brandon]

Oh, I'll think of something.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Bobby]

Okay. Can I have Hannah Montana?

[Mike]

Montana? Yeah, I can.

[Bobby]

Yeah, she's f. Hannah Montana. And you're a hater.

[Brandon]

Oh, my gosh.

[Bobby]

This is tough now, because there were t is all TV show and there's

[Eddie]

a movie that's solid.

[Brandon]

So, like, gosh, I can't think of the name of the band, but I know Marty McFly was the singer for him.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

You ain't gonna get. Nobody's gonna care.

[Brandon]

Marty McFly.

[Bobby]

Yeah. But no one even knows who that is. He plays the guitar.

[Brandon]

Everyone knows who Martyn McFly is. Your kids are gonna love it.

[Bobby]

Yeah, but if you can't name the band, people that will see this won't even know who.

[Eddie]

You're giving me crap for. Spinal Tap.

[Brandon]

What about Marvin Barry?

[Mike]

He didn't play.

[Brandon]

He called Chuck, but, man, I can't think of that band. That's who I was trying to think of. But honestly, the only thing I can think of right now. And I'm gonna have trouble with number three, but I'm gonna go with Stillwater from Almost Famous.

[Bobby]

I thought it was called Sweetwater because that's who I was gonna pick.

[Eddie]

That's a still water.

[Brandon]

Still Water.

[Bobby]

That's a good one.

[Eddie]

That's a really good one.

[Bobby]

That was who was in my head. And I would have picked Sweetwater

[Eddie]

because

[Bobby]

I thought it was.

[Brandon]

That's what it was. Still Water.

[T Mobile Representative]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

Which was loosely based on the real band of.

[Brandon]

I believe it was Led Zeppelin. Zeppelin, I think, was who he toured with because Cameron Crowe, who is the writer and director of that movie, wrote that. Because he was the character. He was that kid when he was younger. He wrote for Rolling Stone magazine or Cream magazine.

[Bobby]

Are you making. Are we guessing it's Led Zeppelin? Mike, what do you see?

[Mike]

There's a few different bands that it came from.

[Bobby]

Okay, what do they say?

[Mike]

Led Zeppelin, Allman Brothers Band and the Eagles.

[Eddie]

An amalgamation.

[Brandon]

They do kind of resemble Allman. The look. The look of. Yeah. I don't even want to say their name because I say I'm like the nut.

[Bobby]

The Allman Brothers. Okay, so, Brandon, back over to you. You have Spinal Tap and the Wonders.

[Brandon]

God, that's so good. Brandon.

[Eddie]

I didn't want to say this one because I feel like it's a cop out, but I'm just drawing a blank. I'm going to go with Josie and the Pussycats.

[Bobby]

It's a good one. That's one of the only other ones I have in my head right now.

[Brandon]

Dude, I'm struggling with number three, the Bobby cast.

[Bobby]

We'll be right back.

[Brandon]

Awkward time to ask this, but.

[Bobby]

Millings from Earn your leisure when traveling for events or festivals throughout the country, every dollar matters. We compare flights, prices, hotel rates and restaurant options. So why wouldn't we compare rides? Personally, I always check Lyft before booking a ride. Prices can change throughout the day, depending on traffic, weather and what's happening in the city. If you're headed to a concert, out to dinner or catching up with your friends on a Friday night, taking a few seconds to check Lyft could leave you with more money to enjoy the experience.

[Bobby]

Welcome back to the Bobbycast.

[Brandon]

Do you have options or are you thinking of one?

[Bobby]

Well, so I would talk it out,

[Brandon]

but you don't want to give me any ideas. And I'm telling you right now, I need ideas.

[Bobby]

I don't think. I mean, she was an artist on a show. I'm not picking her because I don't think it'll make sense. But I'm trying to figure out anybody that played music like. You ever hear the number one smash Smelly Cat?

[Brandon]

I've heard it. I've heard it.

[Bobby]

Like, Phoebe Buffay.

[Brandon]

That's good.

[Bobby]

Had Smelly Cat, but I don't know if that. It's a character. But I think I can just beat Smelly Cat because I'd have to put Phoebe Buffet Smelly Cat for people to even understand what we're talking about. Yeah, okay. Yeah, but I'm gonna hold on to that. You guys can use it, too, if you run out.

[Eddie]

I don't need it.

[Bobby]

You have more?

[Eddie]

Yeah, I got one.

[Brandon]

You do One.

[Eddie]

I got one.

[Bobby]

A good one.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah.

[Brandon]

Is it an artist or a band?

[Eddie]

I'm not saying.

[Brandon]

Okay, I have one, but I don't know if it's strong enough.

[Bobby]

Dude. Mine's Phoebe Buffet.

[Brandon]

But it may. That even may be stronger than mine. Thinking of, like, music, movies.

[Bobby]

See, I have another television show that's very Zach Attack. Like, because. Did you ever watch Surf Dudes With Attitudes? Kind of groovy, late night. No. California Dreams. Oh, California Dreams.

[Brandon]

Spin off of Saved by the Bell

[Bobby]

kind of spin off.

[Brandon]

It kind of looked like it was

[Bobby]

like a similar show. I do remember that was their thing. They were a band.

[Eddie]

What were they called?

[Bobby]

I think they were called California Dreams.

[Brandon]

Ah, that would make sense.

[Bobby]

Which leads me to my third one that I loved, and they had a massive hit. And I may not go with them, but, guys, you don't even know if you don't know about the California Raisins back in the day.

[Eddie]

Yeah, bro, you just went thing. You just went number one right there.

[Bobby]

So I'm going to go.

[Brandon]

Those guys are good.

[Bobby]

I'm going to go. California Raisins.

[Brandon]

Those guys are good, man. Did the Keebler elves sing at all? Oh, man, that's really good, dude. Dang. That's really good.

[Bobby]

For those that don't know, that was a massive campaign.

[Brandon]

Yes.

[Bobby]

For literal California raisins. And they did in their commercial. I heard it through the grapevine. And it turned into toys. It turned into every.

[Eddie]

We had. We had all those toys.

[Brandon]

Action figures.

[Bobby]

Yeah, I have An A plus one.

[Brandon]

You do?

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

Oh, you probably have mine. I have an A plus one.

[Brandon]

Okay, Wait, so you guys are done?

[Bobby]

No, we have four. Four each.

[Brandon]

Oh, four each.

[Mike]

Okay.

[Brandon]

Gosh, I'm going to struggle with four.

[Bobby]

Is yours a movie or tv?

[Brandon]

So let me just go with it. Let me just go with what I have and then forget the order.

[Bobby]

Mine is so good that I think Brandon has it. I don't know why I didn't go with this one earlier.

[Eddie]

So, Keebler.

[Brandon]

Keebler Elves. We're not doing Keebler Elves. We're going to do Dusty from Pure Country.

[Eddie]

Oh, that's a great one.

[Brandon]

Now Bobby doesn't even know.

[Eddie]

Oh, did you watch Pure Country? I think I want George Straight Eddie. When you hear twin fiddles and a steel guitar. Dusty.

[Bobby]

So. But didn't he do George Strait songs?

[Brandon]

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. But his name was Dusty.

[Bobby]

I'm not saying it doesn't count. Hannah Montana did. Miley Cyrus sang the Climb. That's from Hannah Montana.

[Brandon]

I think Dusty sang Dusty songs. George sang the soundtrack.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

Isn't that the same thing?

[Brandon]

Not. No.

[Bobby]

Dusty didn't sing George Strait songs.

[Brandon]

In the movie, there was no George Strait.

[Bobby]

No, no. But the songs that Dusty sang were any of those George Strait songs.

[Brandon]

Well, I guess later they were.

[Eddie]

Okay. In the movie, his character Dusty has the songs, but George Strait released an album called Pure Country.

[Bobby]

The soundtrack, all the Dusty songs.

[Brandon]

So it's almost like George covered Dusty.

[Bobby]

I'm not hating on your pick. You got all defensive. I'm just asking a question about the movie.

[Eddie]

Favorite, favorite song from Pure Country.

[Brandon]

Oh, I mean, I cross my heart.

[Eddie]

Oh, that's so good. You know? You know which one I like? Where the sidewalk ends and the road Begins.

[Brandon]

Do you know what that movie's about?

[Bobby]

Oh, dude, I'm.

[Eddie]

Coach Taylor's in it.

[Brandon]

Yeah, yeah, He's Buddy Chandler.

[Troy Millings]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

I'm gonna guess it's about a guy trying to make it in country music.

[Brandon]

No, no. Dusty, man, he's already a superstar.

[Mike]

Oh, he's.

[Brandon]

Dusty's a superstar. Dude, he is top of the world. He's like, more like killing it. And then he's just. You know what, man? I'm tired. I'm tired of the swimming.

[Bobby]

Why are you doing Matthew McConaughey and the lights?

[Brandon]

It ain't me. And then he quits. He's like, I want to go back to my roots.

[Bobby]

To do what?

[Brandon]

Just to find him.

[Eddie]

So he goes back home.

[Bobby]

Dude, I haven't seen it.

[Brandon]

Can I Spoil it.

[Bobby]

Yeah. Everybody watching? I'm gonna give you a sec.

[Troy Millings]

Ah.

[Eddie]

It's a 1993 movie straight, straight to home video.

[Bobby]

Mike, have you ever seen this?

[Mike]

No, I haven't either.

[Brandon]

I have to spoil it because it's so good at what they do.

[Bobby]

Okay.

[Brandon]

So then Dusty leaves. He's like, mia. They wake up in the morning, he's not there. He's not on the bus. He's nowhere. So the label freaks out. They're just like, we need to put someone up there. Buddy Jackson from the road crew.

[Eddie]

He's coaching a beard that's kind of Chandler.

[Brandon]

They dress him like him. They dress him up like Dusty and he just lip syncs.

[Mike]

Oh.

[Bobby]

So it's not a new artist they're putting out there. They're trying to make him look like Dusty.

[Eddie]

They're trying to continue the Dusty thing.

[Brandon]

Hilarious.

[Eddie]

It's so. I mean, it's probably horrible now.

[Brandon]

It's probably bad now.

[Eddie]

Back in the day, that was the movie.

[Brandon]

And then Kyle Chandler, the Buddy Jackson, starts liking the attention. So he's like, I want to be an artist.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

So does he continue being Dusty? Do his own thing?

[Brandon]

No, he tries to just be the real Dusty, but it doesn't work.

[Eddie]

Yeah. George Strait goes back to. He's a ranch hand.

[Brandon]

Yeah. He falls in love. That's where he grew on a ranch and lives the pure country life.

[Bobby]

Does he ever go back to music?

[Mike]

Yeah, he does.

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Bobby]

At the end, he finds his love again of music.

[Brandon]

Yes, he sure does. All I needed was that break.

[Eddie]

Yeah, man.

[Bobby]

Speaking of lead singer changes, you know, the Fray, they don't have the original lead singer. And so the lead singer now is their old guitar player. And I watched a video of them playing acoustic a couple days ago, and I loved the Fray. All their albums, even the ones after they kind of fell off with that same singer, the ball guy loved them all. And I listened to the new guy sing. Not bad, really. And kind of sounds like the original guy.

[Brandon]

So it works. Because we kind of made a stink about that when it first started.

[Eddie]

Would you go to see the Fray if they're playing across the street?

[Bobby]

This guy was good.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Bobby]

And he sounded close to what? The original guy, but not full original guy. I was impressed.

[Eddie]

That's good.

[Bobby]

Would I go. I don't want to go anywhere.

[Brandon]

Would you go to any concert?

[Bobby]

It's the thing, literally.

[Brandon]

Yeah, but it's across the street.

[Bobby]

But I know. Is there free food?

[Brandon]

Free food.

[Eddie]

There's free food.

[Bobby]

Am I the only person watching?

[Eddie]

There's a group.

[Bobby]

Okay.

[Eddie]

It's a small show at 3.

[Bobby]

It was good enough that I remember to tell you. Hey, I jumped to conclusions.

[Brandon]

Yeah, that.

[Bobby]

It's not the same. It's not the same, but it's better than I thought it was gonna be.

[Brandon]

Okay.

[Bobby]

Cuz they were doing I Found God on the corner of the Namaste. I was like, oh, this guy's pretty good. So, okay.

[Brandon]

Okay.

[Mike]

Wow. Okay.

[Bobby]

You have Dusty from Pure Country.

[Eddie]

This is homework for everybody, Bobby, you included. Go watch Pure Country.

[Bobby]

You just spoiled it. Why would I watch it now?

[Eddie]

I don't know. Sorry, everybody.

[Brandon]

You should still watch it. The acting's great.

[Bobby]

Oh, yeah, I'm sure. You just said it doesn't hold up.

[Eddie]

Phenomenal.

[Bobby]

Brandon, you have a fourth pick.

[Eddie]

I don't know why I didn't think of this from the beginning, but, I mean, you said Hannah Montana. I'm gonna have to go. We're gonna have to walk hard with Dewey Cox. Oh, good. Okay.

[Brandon]

He's still my number four.

[Bobby]

That's all I had.

[Brandon]

Dylan's like, yeah, that's all I had. Oh, my gosh. One of the clips came up on TikTok the other day. Him walking in there smoking marijuana. You don't want this, Dewey. Well, what is it, guys?

[Eddie]

That's a good impression.

[Bobby]

It calms you down and makes you feel good.

[Mike]

With real.

[Bobby]

No addictive trades.

[Brandon]

He goes, I bet it's pretty expensive, huh? Actually, no, it's real affordable.

[Bobby]

I bet you get addicted though, right?

[Brandon]

Not addictive.

[Mike]

Dud.

[Bobby]

That's a really good movie.

[Brandon]

Gosh.

[Bobby]

So my number four is so strong, it could have been number one.

[Eddie]

Oh, wow.

[Skyrizi Advertiser]

And.

[Ashley]

What?

[Brandon]

I just. I have nothing.

[Bobby]

A very famous drummer played wildly though. It almost didn't make sense with how wild this drummer played that this band could stay on.

[Brandon]

What do you mean by wild? His style of how he played.

[Bobby]

Extremely wild. You know, Mike probably knows it. Mike probably knows it.

[Brandon]

This drummer.

[Bobby]

Yeah, yeah. And. And Wild

[Brandon]

John Bonham.

[Bobby]

That'd be Led Zeppelin.

[Eddie]

This is like a fictional.

[Bobby]

Complete fictional.

[Brandon]

Oh, I got it. I know exactly what you're talking about.

[Eddie]

Wait a minute. Whoa. No, really?

[Brandon]

This is so dumb.

[Eddie]

Go for it.

[Bobby]

What do you think it is?

[Brandon]

I know.

[Eddie]

I know it too.

[Brandon]

I want you to say it.

[Mike]

What is it?

[Brandon]

It's animal.

[Bobby]

It's Muppet Babies.

[Brandon]

His hair is flying everywhere.

[Eddie]

What was the band called?

[Bobby]

The Muppet Babies.

[Brandon]

Were they The Muppet Babies?

[Bobby]

Right. No, that's not what they were called.

[Eddie]

No, it was called.

[Brandon]

Wait, wait, wait.

[Commercial Voice]

Whatever.

[Bobby]

I picked Muppet Baby's Band.

[Eddie]

Oh, Muppet Babies was a cartoon, though.

[HomeServe Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Brandon]

Interesting.

[Bobby]

The band for the Muppet Babies.

[Brandon]

But you could pick animal as the.

[Bobby]

No, I want the Muppet Babies Band. What are they called?

[Eddie]

Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem. That's the whole band from the cartoon with the deep. That's like the band band. The one that animals on.

[Bobby]

You're talking about from the cartoon.

[Mike]

Yeah. There's also the Muppet Babies band from the cartoon.

[Eddie]

Okay, gotcha.

[Bobby]

Maybe you're thinking of the Muppets Band, because that's that one.

[Commercial Voice]

Multiple bands.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

Muppet Babies Band is.

[Eddie]

Oh, okay. Okay.

[Brandon]

Muppet Babies Making a dream come true and this.

[Bobby]

And you think your time was near you wish that you were there who's that? Fozzie, probably.

[Brandon]

Waka Waka.

[Bobby]

Just close your eyes and make believe and you can be anywhere Animal. Okay, that's a. So you guys gotta admit, my baby band's pretty good. Eddie.

[Brandon]

Dude, I am struggling. I feel like.

[Bobby]

Mike, will you pull up, like, top 25 fictional?

[Mike]

Oh, there's. Yeah.

[Bobby]

Are we missing some big ones?

[Brandon]

I know we are, because I. I feel like Will Ferrell's part of some dumb band. I mean, was.

[Bobby]

Are you debating?

[Brandon]

No.

[Bobby]

I can't find.

[Brandon]

I can't even think of a fourth one.

[Mike]

Poop.

[Skyrizi Advertiser]

No.

[Brandon]

No. We're not doing poop. We're not doing poop. I will do Marty McFly before poop.

[Bobby]

But what was his band called?

[Brandon]

The. I don't remember.

[Bobby]

Dr. Teeth and the Incredible.

[Brandon]

Dang. Dude, I can't. I can't think of anything. I might have to go poop. Which is the dumbest thing ever.

[Bobby]

Poop is you have nothing. And people. People don't want to pick poop ever. So poop just ends up being one.

[Eddie]

I. I have one, but it's from one of the. You remember Captain Geech and the Shrimp Shack shooters?

[Brandon]

Yeah, that was Full House from.

[Eddie]

No, that's from the Wonders.

[Brandon]

Oh, that is from the Wonders.

[Skyrizi Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Brandon]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Eddie]

Okay. I have a question.

[Bobby]

You can think of nothing. Huh?

[Eddie]

You've got nothing.

[Bobby]

Is he going poop?

[Mike]

I think he's going poop.

[Brandon]

I'm gonna have to go poop.

[Eddie]

Oh, man.

[Bobby]

Do you think if you went earlier, you would have got another one? Well, when it came to me from

[Eddie]

Muppet Baby, did you have Dewey Cox?

[Brandon]

I had Dewey Cox. That was.

[Eddie]

Oh, you did?

[Brandon]

That was my number four. So when he took that, I started freaking out.

[Bobby]

What's the question?

[Eddie]

Tenacious D. Not fictional, okay? They're a real band. Okay.

[Brandon]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

Gotcha. Comedy.

[Brandon]

Yeah. Who are the guys that fly to the Concords?

[Mike]

Real.

[Eddie]

They're a real band.

[Brandon]

Yeah. Okay.

[Eddie]

That's same.

[Bobby]

We could add Phoebe. Oh, from Friends.

[Eddie]

I got one.

[Brandon]

I could have had that one.

[Bobby]

I didn't take that one.

[Brandon]

What'd you take instead? California Raisins.

[T Mobile Representative]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

Why don't you have Phoebe Buffet?

[Brandon]

Can you give that to me?

[Bobby]

Just do Phoebe Buffet.

[Brandon]

Dude, that's a. That's a great friend.

[Bobby]

You know, why not?

[Brandon]

Thank you.

[Eddie]

Hey, you guys remember the movie Rockstar? Oh, I never saw in Steelheart.

[Brandon]

That's Andy Sandberg.

[Eddie]

Actually, pop. No, Steelheart was an. Was the actual band that. I don't remember the name of the band in the movie.

[Brandon]

Oh, Rockstar is Marky.

[HomeServe Advertiser]

Mark.

[Brandon]

Yeah, Mark Wahlberg. Dude, that movie is great.

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Brandon]

So this band, a legendary band, like, loses their lead singer. No, they lose their lead singer and have auditions. And Mark.

[Troy Millings]

Walmart.

[Eddie]

No, he's. He's singing.

[HomeServe Advertiser]

He's.

[Eddie]

He's in the crowd singing, and they're like, dude, you sound great. And they bring him up on stage.

[Bobby]

All of our dreams.

[Brandon]

I don't remember that.

[Eddie]

I don't know. That's what happens in the movie.

[Brandon]

But anyway, he ends up being the lead singer of that van, but, like, he instantly turns into a rock star. And, dude, it's crazy life.

[Eddie]

It's pretty wild. Hang tight.

[Bobby]

The Bobby cast will be right back.

[Brandon]

Awkward time to ask this, but.

[Bobby]

Hey, did you download the trail map?

Oh, I. I was. I was asking about, like, Tenacious D. Okay. That's not one.

[Troy Millings]

Or.

[Brandon]

Because. Are we done? Like, I was trying to think like, Elvis. I know Elvis didn't. Tons of movies. He must have had some kind of.

[Bobby]

Like, he played a fake rock star.

[Brandon]

Yeah, but I can't think of any.

[Bobby]

Mike, what's the most famous one we

[Mike]

missed on the list? Number one. They did have Spinal Tap here. But at number two, Blues Brothers.

[Bobby]

Oh, my God, that is so stupid.

[Eddie]

Greatest Movie.

[Bobby]

Oh, no. With hits.

[Mike]

Yes.

[Bobby]

At one time, John Belushi had the number one TV show, movie and musical album all at the same time.

[Eddie]

That is insane.

[Bobby]

TV show. Saturday Night Live. Movie. Blues Brothers.

[Eddie]

Album.

[Bobby]

Album. Blues Brothers.

[Brandon]

That's amazing.

[Mike]

Wow.

[Eddie]

That's like core memory growing up for me. We would watch Blues Brothers coming to

[Bobby]

you Down a dusty road Good loving, I got a truckload. The scene I remember from that movies are in the diner. I've seen that movie 10 times. But it's like, pick a scene quickly. How much for the little girl? I may get the quote wrong, but that's blue. That's. That's so good.

[Brandon]

Don't they play a show and then they don't get paid? Yeah, right?

[Ashley]

And then.

[Brandon]

[Bobby]

Oh, every show the cops show up and they gotta run, right?

[Brandon]

They gotta run.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Brandon]

Yes. Yeah. That's what I remember from it.

[Brandon]

No, I wouldn't say it's good, but it's. I mean, I remember. I remember it, you know, so it's memorable. I just remember the scene where he wakes up and, like, it was a crazy party that night, and he's just like, oh, my God, what happened? His girlfriend, too, is like, what happened? And there's naked people everywhere. He was. That kind of night.

[Mike]

That's the Starlighters.

[Brandon]

Starlighters.

[Ashley]

Gosh.

[Bobby]

If you want, you can have that over Phoebe Buffet. Marvin Barry and Starlighters.

[Brandon]

I think Phoebe Buffet is more well known.

[Mike]

Okay, one that was on my list that you guys didn't say K Pop Demon Hunters.

[Brandon]

Oh, I didn't even think that was fake.

[Bobby]

I don't know what that is.

[Mike]

I know.

[Bobby]

It's a Netflix song.

[Brandon]

Yeah, that's a band.

[Bobby]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Huntrix is the band, but the movie is K Pop Demon Hunters, so I

[Bobby]

know Huntrix does the song, but they don't really do the song.

[Mike]

They are the fictional band in the movie.

[Brandon]

This is like, Dusty.

[Bobby]

K Pop Demon Hunters is the movie.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

So, okay.

[Eddie]

Never seen the movie.

[Bobby]

George Strait is Huntrix. K Pop Demon Hunters is Dusty.

[Brandon]

No, K Pop Demon Hunters is pure country.

[Bobby]

What's the name of the band?

[Mike]

Huntrix.

[Bobby]

I thought that was a real band.

[Mike]

It became a band after. So it was a fictional band for the movie. It was just a collection of singers who did all the music for it. And then it got so successful that now they're kind of a band.

[Eddie]

They're on tour right now.

[Bobby]

I'm getting angry.

[Eddie]

You guys want to go?

[Bobby]

I don't understand.

[Brandon]

Who is this?

[Bobby]

They're a funny.

[Eddie]

Yeah, they were.

[Bobby]

It was like the comedy, but it was like a Nickelodeon comedy. It was a boy band. It was like an old guy, he 50. But they were making fun of boy bands. So they had every stereotype. And, like, the bad boy, and all he did was fight people all the time. And Then they had like. There's always like, the older one in every boy band.

[Brandon]

Yes, yes.

[Bobby]

And he was fat and bald.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Mike]

James Maslow, I think.

[Bobby]

[Brandon]

I don't remember that.

[Mike]

They had baby on board. That's also on the list.

[Bobby]

Anything else?

[Mike]

And the Archies from the Archie Show.

[Bobby]

What's crazy about that is not a real band. Had a number one song.

[Troy Millings]

What?

[Brandon]

The Archie Bunker.

[Bobby]

The Archies was a cartoon and it's the. The comic strip.

[Brandon]

That's the redhead that kind of had his hair parted like this.

[Bobby]

What's the name of the song?

[Mike]

Sugar, Sugar, Sugar, Sugar.

[Brandon]

Wait, that's from the arch.

[Bobby]

That's from our real band. It was all car is a cartoon character, some studio musicians. Yeah.

[Eddie]

Oh, honey. Really?

[Mike]

Wow.

[Brandon]

I didn't know that.

[Bobby]

So that's. They had that cartoon, that.

[Ashley]

Yeah.

[Brandon]

Comic strip.

[Bobby]

Yes, the comic strip was a band.

[Mike]

Wow.

[Bobby]

But it really wasn't because there was no music. So they got some studio people together, did that song, and went number one.

[Brandon]

That's crazy. I love that.

[Eddie]

Wild.

[Bobby]

Yeah. That's a good story.

[Brandon]

So what's the band? What's Sugar Sugar? Like, what's.

[Bobby]

If I look at the Archies, right?

[Brandon]

Oh, it's the Archies.

[Mike]

That's amazing.

[Bobby]

Will you see what the California Dreams band is called? I would guess it would be called California Dreamers, but I didn't pick it because I didn't know.

[Brandon]

I remember. I just got California Dreams would come on. I'd be like, I'm not watching that.

[Bobby]

I know.

[Guest or Additional Speaker]

It was.

[Troy Millings]

I.

[Brandon]

Saved by the Bell.

[Mike]

Better.

[Bobby]

Well, it felt to Me? Kind of.

[Eddie]

You're, like, cheating on, say, what Melrose

[Bobby]

place was to 90210. Like, I'm loyal to 90210. I'm not watching this crap.

[Mike]

It's like. It's just California dreams.

[Brandon]

Hey, so, I mean, I'm pretty proud of ourselves. Like, we didn't. Okay, we left, like, five, four or five pretty good ones on the table,

[Bobby]

but Blues Brothers, big miss.

[Skyrizi Advertiser]

Yes.

[Brandon]

Big miss.

[Bobby]

Wild Stallions, big miss.

[Brandon]

Everything else kind of. Yeah. Nothing too crazy.

[Bobby]

Let's see if there's anybody here before we go. How about. Okay, I'm not gonna know some of these, but Mouse Rat.

[Eddie]

Mouse Rat From Parks and Rec.

[Bobby]

That's right.

[Eddie]

Chris Pratt.

[Brandon]

That's his band.

[Eddie]

Oh, that's so good.

[Bobby]

And the band constantly changes its name.

[Brandon]

Mouse Rat.

[Bobby]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

But it comes back to Mouse Rat.

[T Mobile Representative]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

Okay. I'll just tell you the show. See if you can name the band from it. Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

[Mike]

No.

[Eddie]

I don't know.

[Bobby]

Dingoes Ate My Baby. It's Oz's Band featuring Seth Green.

[Commercial Voice]

Whoa.

[Bobby]

How about Scooby Doo and the Witch's Ghost?

[Brandon]

That's from Scooby Doo.

[Bobby]

The Hex Girls.

[Eddie]

Oh, Hex Girl.

[Bobby]

Oh, here's. Okay, here's one we missed. There's two we missed because I see this one. The Partridge Family, but also the Brady Bunch.

[Brandon]

I forgot about that. And they were the Brady Bunch.

[Bobby]

I think they were the Brady's.

[Brandon]

The Brady's.

[Eddie]

The Brady's.

[Brandon]

Dude, that was awesome.

[Bobby]

So let's see who else we have. Well, would you. This is, according to ChatGPT, the fictionalized version of the real band, the Revolution, from Purple Rain.

[Brandon]

Oh, from the movie Purple Rain.

[Bobby]

Probably kind of too on the nose.

[Brandon]

And that was Prince, obviously.

[Commercial Voice]

Oh, you know what?

[Bobby]

Oh, my God. There's another one I just missed here. It's one of my favorites.

[Brandon]

Me, too.

[HomeServe Advertiser]

Me, too.

[Brandon]

It's t. It's from Wayne's World.

[Mike]

Oh, no.

[Bobby]

That's good, though.

[Brandon]

Simple Todd or.

[Mike]

No.

[Brandon]

What was the band called? It was.

[Troy Millings]

Yeah.

[Brandon]

Oh, my gosh.

[Eddie]

It was the name of their band.

[Mike]

Crucial Taunt.

[Brandon]

Crucial Todd or Crucial Taunt. Yes.

[Bobby]

I never got that. This one I was an actual fan of, and I know probably five of their songs.

[Brandon]

Go ahead.

[Bobby]

And it started fictional, and it ended up being real. And they had hits, and they're awesome. But it was all. It was a TV show.

[Eddie]

What era?

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Brandon]

I feel like. Is it a cartoon if I give

[Bobby]

you too much now?

[Mike]

The Monkeys.

[Bobby]

The Monkeys.

[Brandon]

The Monkeys.

[Bobby]

Songs like, hey, hey, where the Monkeys The Last Train to Clarksville and I'll meet you at the Station. Or the original I'm a Bully and I Saw Her Face.

[Eddie]

Right.

[Bobby]

Smash Mouth did their song. Of course, the theme song. Here We Come Walking down the Street. How about Daydream Believer and Homecoming Queen?

[HomeServe Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Brandon]

That's amazing.

[Bobby]

I'm not Joe Steppins, too.

[Brandon]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

So they ended up being a really good band, but that's a fictional band.

[Brandon]

So I think along the same lines. I might be wrong, but I feel like Herman's Hermits was also, like, a fictional band that they made a movie about.

[Bobby]

Feels like a real band. Buddy Holly type era.

[Brandon]

Same as, like the Monkeys, because they were British.

[Eddie]

It was. The movie was called Herman Sermons.

[Brandon]

No, what was the movie? I forget what the movie's called, but it's Herman's Hermits was like the band in the movie.

[Bobby]

Okay.

[Brandon]

What does that sound right, Mike?

[Mike]

Hold on. The movie.

[Brandon]

I'm not sure what the movie's called.

[Bobby]

I'll just ask. Who is Herman's Hermits?

[Brandon]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

It feels like a real band, but it just could be because.

[Brandon]

And they sing, you know, Henry viii. I am.

[Bobby]

That's why I know them. Who is Herman's Hermits? That's a great name. Okay. Herman's Hermits was one of the biggest bands of the British invasion during the mid-1960s. The band was fronted by Peter Noon, who was only 15 years old, although his name wasn't Herman. Fans named him Herman because of his resemblance to Herman Munster.

[Brandon]

Huh.

[Bobby]

I don't see anything about them.

[Brandon]

But they're in a movie, right, Mike?

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Brandon]

Okay, maybe not.

[Mike]

I don't think they're a fictional.

[Brandon]

I could be wrong.

[Bobby]

They're as real as could be.

[Brandon]

Wow. They also did Mrs. Brown, you got

[Bobby]

a lovely doctor sing it.

[Brandon]

Mrs. Brown, you got a Lovely daughter.

[Bobby]

He has 15. You know what's crazy, too? And I watch videos back like Silver Chair.

[Brandon]

Oh, they were young.

[Bobby]

He was like, 17.

[Brandon]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember that. Yeah, I remember that being a storyline.

[Bobby]

The trio formed in Australia when the members were 12. And then.

[Eddie]

I used to love that band.

[Podcast Advertiser]

That's.

[Eddie]

What's up, Frog Stomp.

[Bobby]

Mike, do you want to put them in and see who wins?

[Mike]

Yeah. You want to see it?

[Bobby]

It Looking at it, Brandon. Spinal Tap is so strong.

[Brandon]

I mean, it's gonna be Brandon or Bobby.

[Bobby]

Well, yeah, of course you're not gonna win.

[Brandon]

You're right.

[Bobby]

Yours is terrible.

[Eddie]

Honorable mention, Alvin and the Chipmunks.

[Brandon]

Oh, goodness. Brandon. Honorable mention. That should be a birthday.

[Bobby]

Yeah.

[Brandon]

Can I have that instead of Phoebe Buffet.

[Bobby]

Mike, who is number three?

[Mike]

Scroll down.

[Bobby]

Third.

[Mike]

Me.

[Eddie]

No way.

[Brandon]

Yes.

[Bobby]

The California Raisins. They don't give me that.

[Brandon]

They're memorable.

[Bobby]

The Muppet Babies feels like a deep cut pick that doesn't have the same impact.

[Brandon]

Dude, look how. Look how AI hits you with. The California Raisins are memorable, but more an advertising mascot.

[Bobby]

Dang, got me on that one. Okay, second place. That's Eddie.

[Brandon]

That's me.

[Bobby]

You could argue that his team has the most real musician credibility.

[Brandon]

Funny.

[Mike]

All right, go ahead.

[Eddie]

Drags down.

[Brandon]

Oh, damn.

[Bobby]

What if there was that band named Poop? That's actually pretty good.

[Eddie]

Hey, what about us?

[Bobby]

And number one is Brandon. Brandon Wynn's Spinal Tap is the greatest fictional band ever. The Wonders. Josie Pussycat's Dewey Cox. No weak spots. Yeah. Good job.

[Brandon]

Good job, Brandon. Very strong.

[Eddie]

Hey, you guys had some great picks too.

[Bobby]

Nah, I feel like I was cheated.

[Brandon]

I think you were too. Dude, I had poop.

[Bobby]

I was cheated on this one. Good job, everybody. That was fun.

[Brandon]

That was fun.

[Bobby]

Mike. Good job on the. On the fly research.

[Brandon]

That was so good.

[Eddie]

You too, Dylan.

[Bobby]

Yeah, Dylan. Dylan.

Honestly, no one wants to think about HIV. But there are things that everyone can do to help prevent it. Things like prep. Prep stands for pre exposure prophylaxis. And it means routinely taking prescription medicine before you're exposed to HIV to help reduce your chances of getting it. Prep can be about 99% effective when taken as prescribed. It doesn't protect against other STIs, though, so be sure to use condoms and other healthy sex practices. Ask a healthcare provider about all your prevention Options and visit findoutaboutprep.com to learn more.
