Season 1 Episode 9 "Punk is Dad"

The dads compete in a battle of the bands. Henry explains a complicated ritual, Darryl reminisces about one of his favorite bands, Glenn reveals a secret, and Ron unveils a hidden talent.

## Intro

This episodes intro is a parody of the show "Behind The Music" and features a very brief history of Glenn Close, as it gives cliff-notes of everything that has happened to him in the adventure so far.

## Summary

Everyone takes a short rest in the greenroom tent. Discussion who will play in the battle of the bands. Nick plays the drums. Henry plays two and a half songs on guitar. Darryl plays two bells at church. Ron plays a recorder. Dad huddle, Henry has questions. What are the stakes of this battle?

Nick would prefer not to have the other dads in his bands. How about they perform and the others find out what’s going on, or sabotage the other ones. Henry and Darryl enthuse over the Mannheim Steamroller. Nick says that he would rather be taken over by Redbrands and have half his people killed than do any of what Henry describes.

Glenn reveals he left Glenn Close Trio after they asked him to leave. He feels that this is his last chance. Darryl and Henry assure Glenn he is the leader of this band. Glenn asks them to sabotage the other band.

Henry suggests they sneak into the band and ruin them from the inside. Darryl holds up the Perfume of Charm. Glenn suggests they get cloaks.

Glenn notes that everyone collectively decides the winner.

Henry, Darryl, Glenn and Ron discuss how to get robes. Glenn suggests Cern could start a mosh pit. Henry, Darryl and Ron decide to seduce the band. Ron splashes most of the Perfume of Charm onto his face. Darryl insists Henry take the rest of it, but agrees to take it himself in the end.

Darryl struts to the band. And starts hitting on him. Henry joins him and they manage to seduce the basist.

> **Henry:** *Okay. Let's— let's— Let's go to that dark corner over there.*

> **Darryl:** *Hey you got two other friends that want maybe come and party for a little bit before you guys play? We need three cloaks. I mean we need—*

> **Bassist:** *Wait what?*

> **Ron:** *We need three blokes!*

They manage to lure three members of the band backstage. Darryl freaks out and escapes. Ron tries to capture him with a lasso. Fails, and freaks out the bassist. Ron then tries to sexily capture the bassist, but instead starts choking himself. Henry tells the bassist that this is a part of an elaborate courting ritual. The final step of this courting ritual is swapping clothes with the other person .

The bassist is down. He and his friends take off their robes and Ron, Darryl and Henry put on the robes. Henry tells him that now they will watch them perform.

Bassist: What you've just described is extremely humiliating. And because I am a bassist.

Bassist: You've discovered my kink. So yes we will— we will. We consent to remain tied up while you perform for us.

Final member of the Redbrand band notes this is the third time his bandmates have ditched him to be kinky.

Darryl plays the drums, decently. Henry plays the lute, poorly. And Ron sings the Silent Night in dual harmony, impossibly, giving an unbeatable performance.

Glenn and Nick watch the performance incredulous. They feel like they cannot win and think the Redbrands may kill everyone, so they steal Odyssey-san and flee.

Scam Likely calls Henry and keeps him on hold to help Nick and Glenn get away.
