Why does the new theme song for MBMBAM end with the lyric "It's better, it's better with 2"?

Maybe I'm misremembering, but I thought it was more like a small group of fans was suggesting topics like that and they said "yeah, no, this isn't really that kind of show, we're trying to be a lighthearted funny little show, getting into heavy politics is not really our wheelhouse at all" and the fans were like HOW DARE YOU

that's how I remember it, and to reiterate about the mbmbam facebook fandom, they will ban you if you mention beans

please, everyone:

posting to frustrate each other is not a fun way to post because we're all on the same team and that team is to have fun together and to make it fun for all our audiences. And so when people make posts just to frustrate each other and just to troll each other, there's enough of that in the world today, of people trolling each other just to be mean and to be hurtful, and if we're gonna post in this space together we need to do it because we want each other to have fun and not because we're trying to frustrate each other, cause there's enough frustrating things in the world right now and there's enough we can't control, and one of the things we can control is that everyone is here to have fun and not waste each others' time and so when we make decisions that are meant to troll each other, that's something that bad people do.

this but unironically

it's an incompetech song which is the opposite of bespoke

no there's a bespoke theme song with specific lyrics about justin and travis by the band Massing

there's probably some incompetech music in the middle somewhere

lyrics:
another day another brother
shopping some wood with one another
there's still some wood to cut
so it's time to give it all to justin and travis
to cut up
to cut up yeah
to cut up and put back together again
in the new appalachian workshop
featuring the mcelroy brothers (but not griffin)

travis got a new seggie to make his brothers feel real pain

griffin came back from the first week of taking care of a baby, the worst week of any parent's life, to experience travis doing a new painful segment at him

(which actually feels like a bit from hey riddle riddle, a podcast that i love but for some reason has anthony burch as a guest host this week)

e: there's some Ted Cruz riffin in this one

this episode's got some good energy, i like this one. maybe each of the brothers needs to go on a week break to, like, have a baby or go to a gathering of the juggalos or whatever, so they can come back refreshed and with new experiences to channel into comedy

if someone fell for the loan shark advertised that would be unfortunate, both because they trusted the brothers to not sell anything fishy, but also because it means someone actually bought a moneyzone product, which I don't think has happened since Extreme Restraints ended their partnership

the moneyzone is for seeing if the ad gets ruined by one of the brothers breaking or going too far into a bit, not for actually listening to the ad. i mean you can't click on a podcast ad, you'd have to type the URL out and then possibly even input a coupon code. who even does that

I'm unclear on if this an attempt at a defense of the brothers or what you were going for here

not a defense, they shouldn't be promoting loan sharks. i'm just surprised that anyone actually uses the moneyzone stuff instead of fast forwarding past it. the only reason i dont is laziness and also so i can always be on the cutting edge of "i hate the new one bad mother ad" discourse. it's almost always bougie poo poo

i guess that's why the loan shark is a weird choice is because usually it's ads aimed at middle class listeners. like that time when they had the ad partnership with that investments company and had no idea or experience in promoting such a thing, and it was just extremely awkward

I doubt I'm saying anything new to most people in his thread but people should also keep in mind that this isn't just some 2 1/2 year old controversy. Trans rights in the UK have been under attack for years, and it has really, really amped up in recent months and from pretty much every direction from news, media, prominent terf public figures, etc. The relatively little pushback he got here for being a piece of poo poo TERF is probably the hardest he's ever had to defend his awful beliefs.

it's also rapidly gaining momentum in the US. the florida house just passed a bill requiring school athletes to have their genitals examined to make sure The Nasty Trans aren't invading the sports, and texas wrote a bill that would criminalize being a supportive parent of a trans child including taking the child away

I�ve never listened to more of It�s a Departure than the intro section. I just listened to the first 2 minutes or so and it is not a good song. Also I never realized the Money Zone Intro was part of the same song

that's because the money zone part is literally just jammed in there. there's like no transition at all between the two stages of the song

them getting 20k new subs in a pandemic is actually pretty surprising to me to be honest

only listened to the first 15 minutes but it's good to hear them goofin around again. i wonder how the 'anytime i hear an accent i assume it's problematic' quadrant of the mbmbam fandom will react to Justin's character voice, which I'm pretty sure is just meant to be creepy old Southern lady

but this is good stuff so far

i mean, obviously good that they reversed decision, but why did they think it was a good idea to announce it yesterday?? it's one thing to say "yeah we planned this months in advance and then things didn't go as we hoped", and another thing to say "we planned this months in advance and then things didn't go as we hoped....
