It has long been speculated, but now it is official: the band from those annoyingly catchy Free Credit Report commercials will play at this Friday's presidential election! We sat down with the band's frontman, Eric Violette, and had a conversation about the esteemed honor.

ODYSSEY: So Eric, thank you for coming in. You must be fairly busy right now with your musical success.

ERIC: Nope, not really. Haven't done much in the past five years.

ODYSSEY: Amazing. So what were you thinking when you got the call, when you realized that you would be playing music for an entire country?

ERIC: I was, well, confused at first. Definitely confused. Actually, yeah, I'm still confused. That's still how I'm feeling.

ODYSSEY: Really? How incredible! Follow up question: could you loan me some money?

ERIC: Oh, well, no. No, I can't.

ODYSSEY: Yeah, yeah, I know that. I just figured, you know, with the good credit score, you know, but it's all good.

ERIC: I was just portraying somebody in those commercials, that wasn't--

ODYSSEY: Yeah, I get it. Just, you know, if you ever find yourself with a good amount of cash, you know where to--

ERIC: I really don't see myself in that type of situation--

ODYSSEY: Eric, I didn't call you in here so that you can blow me off like this, I thought we were friends--

ERIC: What? No, we just met--

ODYSSEY: You know, I could make this story look terrible. I could make it look like you support him.

ERIC: You wouldn't.

ODYSSEY: I've been working on my Photoshop skills lately, and let me tell you, I've gotten pretty damn good at them.

ERIC: Yeah, I saw the one with Putin wearing hats, that was really good.

ODYSSEY: Really? Oh. Well, thank you, that, well, that means a lot to me. Thanks.

ERIC: You're welcome.

ODYSSEY: So, can we...?

ERIC: Listen, I'm at a different point in my life now...

ODYSSEY: Just this once?

ERIC: No--

ODYSSEY: Do it for Bernie.

ERIC: Okay. Okay, fine.

ODYSSEY: ...They say a man should always dress for the job he wants...

ERIC: ...So why am I dressed up like a pirate in this restaurant?

ODYSSEY: It's all because some hacker stole my identity...

ERIC: Now I'm in here every evening serving chowder and iced tea...

BOTH: Shoulda gone to freecreditreport.com,

ODYSSEY: I coulda seen this coming at me like an atom bomb,

ERIC: They monitor your credit,

ODYSSEY: And send you email alerts,

BOTH: So you don't end up selling fish to tourists in t-shirts!

ODYSSEY: Anyway, thanks for coming in today.

ERIC: Yes, thanks for having me.
