hello dude. explanations requested for the music played at the beginning and the end of the TCJ podcast: 1.) what even is that? 2.) why?

The intro song is an edited version of Everybody’s Talkin’ by Harry Nilsson.

The edit was made for me by cartoonist David King, whose comics can be seen here: http://www.reliablecomics.com

The outro song is a clip from You Are Boring The Shit Out Of Me by The Hanslick Rebellion

I know that everybody hates the outro, but I don’t care. It makes me laugh. Also, it comes in so abruptly and obnoxiously every time, I like to think it snaps the podcast listener out of their sleepy stupor.
