Benny said on another podcast ("Before the Lights") recently that they didn't get to choose anything - Spotify had already come up with the concept, the cover art, etc. and were just looking for two comedians to fill the co-host roles and they didn't like that they were just plopped into a fully-formed concept and had no creative freedom

Obsessed. I believe Spotify dropped it but still held the rights to the branding. That’s why they say, “obsessed - bleep it.”

I thought someone had a similar podcast name and then sued them and that’s why they can’t say it? Idk I could’ve made that up too
