INT. RECORDING STUDIO – DAY
We join our regularly scheduled programming in progress.
JON GRUDEN: …AND SO WHEN YOU KNOW THAT YOU’VE FOUND YOUR GUY, YOU HAVE TO TAKE HIM.
PRODUCER: I mean of course that make sense, but when you see a consensus that’s going the other way, doesn’t it give you some pause?
JON: LISTEN WHEN YOU HAVE BEEN GRINDING ENOUGH TAPE THAT YOUR JANITORS WARN YOU THAT A SECOND DUST BOWL IS A DISTINCT POSSIBILITY, YOU KNOW BETTER THAN TO LISTEN TO THE GROUPTHINK OF A BUNCH OF JERKS WHO HAVE NEVER COACHED AT ANY LEVEL OTHER THAN ROOKIE ON MADDEN ON THEIR PLAYSTATIONS. NOT TO MENTION THAT HALF THOSE MOCK DRAFT GUYS GET THEIR DIRECTION FROM MAYOCK IN THE FIRST PLACE.
PRODUCER: That’s true, it’s hard to discount Mayock’s influence on pre-draft speculation, and it seems logical that he wouldn’t have relied on a leaky scout room to evaluate someone he liked as much as Clelin Ferrell.
JON: THIS GUY MIKE MAYOCK I CALL HIM ROGER STONE CAUSE HE USED TO TALK TO THE MEDIA FOR A LIVING BUT NOW THAT HE’S LOOKING AT LIFE ON THE INSIDE HE HAS KEPT HIS MOUTH SHUT FOR MONTHS.
PRODUCER: Well, we’re certainly looking forward to see what kind of surprise the Raiders have for us on Day 2. But first, let’s get to the music. Have you got a theme for us?
JON: I SURE HAVE – THEY TELL ME THAT REQUEST LINE RECENTLY CELEBRATED ITS 100TH EPISODE IS THAT TRUE?
PRODUCER: [blushes] Well, we don’t really like to make a big deal out of milestones…
JON: NONSENSE SON WHEN LIFE HANDS YOU LEMONS AND YOU MAKE LEMONADE OUT OF IT YOU GOTTA DRINK THAT LEMONADE, YOU KNOW WHAT I’M SAYING?
PRODUCER: I’m not sure I…
JON: AND SINCE IT’S DRAFT WEEK I THOUGHT IT WAS THE PERFECT TIME TO SHOCK THE WORLD AND DO SOMETHING THAT NOBODY HAD ON THEIR BOARD. INSTEAD OF REQUESTING SONGS, WE’RE DRAFTING MUSICIANS.
PRODUCER: Come again?
JON: EACH LISTENER CAN PICK FIVE MUSICIANS TO ASSEMBLE THEMSELVES A BAND. LET ME SHOW YOU HOW IT WORKS. WITH YOUR FIRST PICK YOU GOTTA TAKE A TRUE GRINDER, EVEN IF THAT MEANS GRINDING UP PILLS AND SNORTING THEM SO I’M GOING WITH C.C. DEVILLE OF POISON.
PRODUCER: That’s, um, a bold pick. Are you sure that you couldn’t have traded down and still…
JON: LIKE I SAID WHEN YOU KNOW WHO YOU WANT YOU GO AND GET HIM. SECOND ROUND YOU KNOW I LOVE VETERANS SO I’M GOING WITH ONE OF THE FOUNDATIONAL PIECES OF THE GREATEST BANDS OF ALL TIME.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyNv588P5jc
PRODUCER: Now you know that “Best of the Beatles” was actually…
JON: MOVING ON WE TRADED OUR THIRD ROUNDER FOR A CASE OF BEER AND PENNY LANE’S SERVICES, SO ON TO THE FOURTH ROUND I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS GUY IS STILL ON THE BOARD.
JON: AND WE NEED OURSELVES A VOCALIST SO WE’LL ROUND OUT THE TEAM WITH ANOTHER BEATLES CONNECTION.
JON: THIS BAND I’M CALLING THEM REACH FOR THE SKY CAUSE WHEN THEY GET ON STAGE YOU ARE GONNA LIFT YOUR HANDS UP.
PRODUCER: [puts head in hands]
—
You heard Jon, you’ve got FIVE picks to use on musicians (living or dead) to assemble your dream band. You can build it any way you want – if you want to draft four vocalists and a drummer and make yourself a nice percapella squad, go for it. Once you’ve made your first pick, wait at least ten minutes between picks, and PUT ALL YOUR SUBSEQUENT PICKS IN THE SAME THREAD AS THE FIRST. Once your squad is fully assembled, give it a name!
Drummer – Stevie Wonder
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBA4vWQRBA0
Guitar/Vocals – Jose Feliciano
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBmhBH4gVjc
Lead Vocals – Andrea Bocelli
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTlPPqPodiA
Additional Vocals – Clarence Carter
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTIKeKSYuQQ
Piano/Vocals – Ray Charles
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTIP_FOdq24
I believe Ray was taken by Rikki
If so my bad; I drunkenly went through all the other picks last night and didn’t remember that he had been taken. If I get a supplemental pick, I’m going with this:
Guitar – Doc Watson
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YeiXnyvo0d4
GD it. That’s not the song I posted.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwXxxSRUX4U
For the band name I gotta go with “The Aristocrats”
John Gruden looks more and more alike Mark Davis every day.
Greedy is a name we have to call an adult human? Ok then.
I turned tv off. Time to watch #BFIB and try to forget football exists.
I heard the “John Elway has chosen another white quarterback” alarm.
All things considered, I don’t think this is all that bad. A second rounder isn’t a high price to pay, and Lock will be sitting behind Bert for a few seasons while he learns the system.
he has bad footwork (after 4 years of starting) and panics under pressure. This is why he plummeted. He’s just AWFUL.
I’m a Giants fan! I’m trying to talk myself into believing in Daniel Jones! Lock looks good in comparison!
yeah, that would be worse. Being in NC, I have seen Daniel Jones play. He’d be a perfectly serviceable backup.
oh, go fuck yourself Elway
I sure am talking to myself a lot tonight, huh? Sure ’nuff, Other Hippo!
Tryin’ to keep up but fading fast…
NOT DREW LOCK WOO!!!!
You want Findley a few rounds down?
P*ts will take him end of Round 2.
Also, Drew Lock would look GREAT in silver and black. I ain’t sayin, I’m just sayin…
Team MRSA could maybe take Drew Lock, as in Break Glass If Lose First Big Dumb Quartered Backing Idiot
zere are no MOAR offensive tackles
I want Donks WOO!! to take Greedy Williams now.
gooooo padres!
we talking draft here?
Sure. As long as we’re not still piling on to the Daniel “Spits on the Ground” Jones pick by the Giants.
time for a fresh round of fuckups!
/somebody will take that Lock asshole
Dang! You were so close to “‘pick that Lock”. smgdh
Drummer? Dude from Battles-

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Be3OkvBZaIY
Front Woman? Kate Bush
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sV7w5TaYjRA
Lead on the geetar is Django Reinhardt
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCJ5E8AnlWk
Last piece of the puzzle is the “The Horn Section From Chicago In The Mid-to-late Seventies”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bd95Qz7JSrY
Band name is “WTF Just Happened?”.
#Unchained
Damn hard to argue that choice,
Since several of my heroes are off the board, I’ll go with Mitch Mitchell on drums
https://vimeo.com/43315666?ref=em-share
On bass, John Entwhistle, the Ox
https://youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=52cQeFBU2Kw
Thst is just incredible value at this point in the day.
Speaking of tremendous value, I cannot believe Jimi is still on the board, so I have to take him.
https://open.spotify.com/track/1HbOlAS9kF9d5j7WNQbin9?si=GiYjnDToTduUdm1oGBEhcw
This whole band is a walking (and singing) death pool, but she’s still on the board so I’m taking Janis. Suck it, Seamus
https://youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=7uG2gYE5KOs
Doubling down on this era, I guess.
https://youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=94bdMSCdw20

Chad Gilbert (New Found Glory, Lead guitar)
Chad Wackerman (Songwriter and session drummer for Frank Zappa)
Band name? Duh???
THE HANGING CHADS!!!!!
Fuck you, Florida.
Michael Hutchence approves!
LOL, that was funny.
Well, maybe not for Hutchence.
DAMN IT. SEE BELOW.
May I say, without sounding too gay, how happy I am to see Cuntler is back?
Man, you need help. Cheers.
I do. I really do.
But this is not news to anyone.
I’m going to make the world’s most insane band. Everyone will hate it. Yes!
Guitar/Vocals – Jerry Garcia
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crHvWsFVeD4
Hippo already hates it
Good. I would want the approval of someone with such poor taste that they have anything to do with the St. Fucking Louis Garbage Birds baseball team.
#BFIB u just jelly
Bass – Les Claypool
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-_eVUpVYVM
well, now I kinda like it!
That’s real fucking good.
Alex Van Halen – Drums
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMPlPJP2brw
Crap, Prince is off the board. David Byrne, then, as a crazy do everything guy.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8xdsZhfrcA
Karen O – Vocals,
To round it out
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmGNo8RL5kM
My band’s first song would be a 45 minute cover of Hole’s Violet (I’m done), Karen O singing, with Les, Jerry, and Alex VH just putting together an insane jam over the bridge, with David Byrne just making weird noises the whole time on random instruments. I think this would make me happy.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cH_rfGBwamc
The bands name? Van Halen. Duh.
Zappa on guitar.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNkl1avYXRM
Let’s go ahead and double shot. By that I mean from the same band I’ll take Tony Levin on Bass and Bill Bruford on drums.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuTaM5eTVeo
I’ve always enjoyed the vocal stylings of Ian McCulloch.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMplIrSlg8E
Finally we’re gonna need a keyboard player.
I’ll take Rick Wakeman.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRfxSLcmx7s
He can also be a wizard if you need one.
With nary a mention of Adrian Belew or Robert Fripp.
Lead Guitar – Jimmy Page (here shown playing slide guitar with a beer bottle as God intended)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnjJVwaivKg
Drummer – Keith Moon (he will also make sure we’re adequately hydrated)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0gBfUje1t4
Bass – Flea (can also play trumpet in a pinch)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dE4pHUgqU0
Shit, I completely forgot about Flea.
SONOFABITCH.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtBbinpK5XI
Lead Singer, Keyboards – Freddie Mercury
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEEJOZkmIxU
Songwriter – Bob Dylan
“Hey, I can sing too.”
No, you can’t. Stay in your lane Bob.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ItmlGRB718
My band name:
Queen Bob and the Led Red Who.
Hehehehehe
Damn you!
I need more hydration Captain!
THIS GUY MIKE MAYOCK I CALL HIM ROGER STONE CAUSE HE USED TO TALK TO THE MEDIA FOR A LIVING BUT NOW THAT HE’S LOOKING AT LIFE ON THE INSIDE HE HAS KEPT HIS MOUTH SHUT FOR MONTHS.
That is some gold right there Rikki.
It’s a shame that we haven’t had GRUDEN TALK informing us about current events for the last two years.
Jesus, that’s a lot of potential content.
IGNORE THIS POST
No
My Bassist will be – Bootsy Collins
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etviGf1uWlg
Vocalist – Debbie Harry
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGU_4-5RaxU
Guitarist – Joe Bonamassa
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQBkV7s0sV0
My Drummer – Dave Grohl
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOsmG-sufNc
Nice pick. I was waffling between him, Neal Peart and Tre Cool.
Last but definitely not least – Stevie Ray Vaughn guitar and vocals
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgIB1OL09H0
And for the name – SRV’d Cold
Oh, I like that.
My Drummer shall be…
/waffles in own mind for a few moments….
Tre Cool…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RqR_FA58TI
My bassist shall be…
Mike Dirnt.
(yes, I know where you think I’m going, but I’m not)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c87TKWgRyCE
And since everyone else is, I’m going to go ahead and also break the 10 minute wait rule and take Scott Weiland off the board As my vocalist. Even though like Amy Winehouse, his range has probably declined.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXhmwMdUKfA
OK, since Ian took Lifeson away from me, Imma go ahead and pull Slash into the mix….
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMfMUfgjiLg
For rhythm guitar, I’ll take Malcom Young of AC/DC.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAgnJDJN4VA
And this band shall henceforth be known as…
BLACK DAY!!!!
“Don’t like it. Kind of scary.”
– the GOP
Nawt Raycess!!!!
(and I feel cheated because you didn’t “Dude” me this week)
Sorry, man…you didn’t post any shitty songs. YET.
If RTD lifts the rules I’ll put together a band which will “Dude” me out of the building.
That would be fun. Like, Gettleman putting a band together.
Vocalist pick: Geddy Lee. Also counts as bassist.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEVDZl5UvN4
For drumming, I’ll go with Neil Peart
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auLBLk4ibAk
With the third pick, I’m thinking Alex Lifeson
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDRPtg0kmJU
I approve this lineup. Don’t be in a rush to name your band, however.
Oh, that’s good. I’ll call them The Band.
THIS GUY IAN SCOTT MCCORMICK, I CALL HIM TECMO BOWL BO JACKSON BECAUSE ALL HE BRINGS IS THE RUSH BUT DAMNED IF IT DOESNT WORK.
Dammit, I was gonna grab Lifeson.
So to speak.
Vocalist: Cornell, Chris
It’s still request line, you should post a song too!
Simultaneously trying to deliver mail
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNh-iw7gsuI
Guitar and Vocals and ten other instruments: Prince
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkrT9u7ms1c
Prince is a five tool musician.
Diversifying with my third pick, guitar and Vocals, Chrissy Hynde!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7Hy7uAb_eU
I have flash at the top of the roster, now for some special teams backbone: the eternally underrated Charlie Watts on drums!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zaKEcCAeSe8
I can’t jerk off behind-the-wheel anymore, so I will cut in line for my last pick, whom no one was going to take anyway, whether it was in Booker T and the MGs or Murph and the Magic Tones, a bass player who could play any style, and in this band he’d need to, Donald “Duck” Dunn…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdR6MN2jKYs
For some reason my comment is stuck in moderation, but after closing out with Duck Dunn on bass, my band is called Prince and the Magic Tones, because you know that dude requires his name on the marquee.
Damn it. Missed your pick. I will change appropriately.
1. Last time I did something like this I got scooped on this pick, so I’m not fucking around this time. Amy Winehouse – VOCALIST
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-I2s5zRbHg
Dangerous pick. Really a system vocalist, to say nothing of her off stage conditioning.
DFO would not be much of a site if we had a drug-testing regimen.
2. Ray Charles – OCCASIONAL VOCALS/TICKLING THE IVORIES
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNe5npkid-s
3. John “Bonzo” Bonham – DRUMS
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95zF6v6f66E
4. Robert Johnson – RHYTHM GUITAR / SONGWRITING
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYsnRc09csQ
5. B.B. King – LEAD GUITAR
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Y8QxOjuYHg
If you notice the common thread amongst these folks, it will make sense to you why I am calling them THE IRREVOCABLY DAMNED RHYTHM AND BLUES BAND.
I’m not sure she has much vocal range these days, but nice pick anyway.
