This episode explores the mystery surrounding a seemingly forgotten 90s pop song, "So Much Better," only remembered by two individuals across continents. The story begins with Tyler Gillette, a listener who contacted the podcast hosts with his inability to find this song despite vividly remembering its lyrics and melody. Against this backdrop of a seemingly impossible situation, the hosts embark on a quest to recreate the song using professional musicians, based solely on Tyler's memory. More significantly, despite the high-quality recreation, digital music identification tools fail to find the song. The investigation then pivots to music critics, who initially dismiss the song as a hoax, but eventually, through a Facebook search, the hosts discover Evan Scott Olson, the song's actual creator. For instance, the search reveals that the song was a test release by a small artist that was never widely distributed, explaining its absence from the internet. Ultimately, the episode highlights the ephemeral nature of some musical creations in the pre-digital era and the power of persistent memory, even when the object of that memory seems to have vanished.
