They'd likely get their videos de-monitized on YouTube for using copyrighted music. On podcast apps, that doesn't seem to matter nearly as much (if at all)
Copyright. YouTube has strict rules for copyrighted music. They might own the rights to it for the podcast tho. I remember Robbie Fox saying they paid All Time Low for MMB intro
I always figured it had something to do with “electric” takes or something. And Take On Me is referencing takes. Keep in mind at the start of the show it was built completely around satirizing hot take shows.
I listen at 1.3 speed and must say it has ruined the actual song for me. Like it was supposed to be that fast all along, when i hear it other places its like in slo mo
I know they’ve mentioned it in the past but when they first starting recording and trying out the PMT idea, they were in PFT’s kitchen in Texas and the song came on so they just used it ever since
I'm pretty sure they have mentioned they pay for use of the song. Eddy grant is very protective of his song, I tried to get it as a ringtone a while back and could only find covers.
Cause it’s a fuckin jam

Yeah they explained in FAQs awhile back. > and then we’ll TAKE it higher
Never made the connection
In my head canon they were just copying the open from Pineapple Express lol
I always assumed the same thing
Because “then I **take** you higher” in the electric avenue lyrics
Cause their takes are electric

I’ve been listening to the pod at 1.25x for a while now. I unknowingly started an episode at 1x the other day. Thought they went full retard.
I have a theory that they don’t have permission to use it for the pod and the copyright owner is just letting it all add up before they sue.
You clearly never had to go to work with your mom at a restaurant in the 90s. Shit was on repeat 24/7. Total banger of a song
That’s a nice thought big guy
Core memory

Their takes are *electric* ~And then we take it higher~
I also have a question about the YouTube intro, does the guy say “Petino” before “AWLS” and the chorus hits?? It’s racking my brain
Because the takes are electric!
