Julie rightfully calls Pelswick out on him [[ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontWatch judging the music without listening to it]] and challenges him to actually hear their album. And in a twist - he ''likes'' it. Later revealed that the boy band is actually musically backed by an old metal band Megadirt that Pelswick likes.
