I just figured a full version would be released on Spotify and that would be the end of it.

Very disappointed that the Boat "Mah Wife" version of the song has been taken down.

They talk about it a bit at the end of today's episode. Obviously, they planned this stuff before Delta hit and continued to destroy the country. They cancelled shows earlier than the ones listed, and made it pretty clear that they'll cancel these too if it doesn't seem smart. (It doesn't seem smart but they aren't cancelling them yet.)

I just think it’s weird they picked a song prominently featuring the refrain “it’s better, it’s better with two” for a show about three brothers.

They're more of a three-headed west-virginian McElory dragon, so the two the songs referring to are you the listener and said comedy Hydra.

This is part of what bothers me about it, I think. Not only is it incredibly saccharine, but it seems like unhealthy boundaries between podcaster and listener are what both the McElroys and their audience have come to expect and the song is not helping. The podcast should not be trying to be my best friend

if you feel like the mcelroy brothers are trying to seduce you into an unhealthy parasocial relationship via intro music you can probably skip the first few minutes of the podcast safely thank you

it's a song

montaigne also made a surprisingly beautiful song on commission about driving a truck for a comedian who streams euro truck simulator. it's just what she does there's not some secret message unique to mbmbam with every word tailored to it

Although I do like the new intro, I must admit the Rugrats placeholder was both catchier and more relevant.

Pocketcasts at least lets you set an auto-skip per podcast exactly to get past intro music that's the same length every episode. I haven't heard more than the last 3 seconds of Better With You since the second episode after they introduced it

Podcast songs must either be TGIF sitcom-esque theme explainers, or be direct letters to me from my sweetheart, a podcast. Never just a fun song, that would be stupid.
