Thanks for all warnings about outro music.. stopped the video before it finished.

[TheMaliceTree]

I remembered to pause the video before the outro began. Small victories are everything.

[phillipmorrison]

Can you make the last few seconds of the video louder please? I don't need my eardrums anymore.

[ArthurC]

Please increase the volume at the end of the video. Thanks.

[Darkhorde]

Attention Editor: Adjust the outro volume. It isnt hard, if you need help I am sure there are several tutorials on Youtube that can show you how in a swift and easy to remember manner.

Thanks,
Everyone.

Forgot about the outro, woke half the neighborhood.

[jgenard]

The volume of the music at the end is monstrously loud. The song, though, is fantastic.

LATE SHOW TURN DOWN THE MUSIC AT THE END OF THE CLIP! SOME OF US HAVE HEADPHONES ON!

[ThePadrenosferatu]

Hey, you gave my cat a heart attact with that outro, you monster!! Tone it down!!!

[CrimsonCat]

Thank you for that brasshorn outtro, if I wasn't awake already, I would have been startled into the Ninth Layer of Super-Consciousness.
(And I did not feel like Ascending today, thank you very much.)

[MegaSpeight]

The music at the end is crazy loud compared to the talking. WTF? It's called mastering the audio. Please look it up.

[revengefrommars]

Yes!  I managed to pause before the deafening outro kicked in.  My hearing will last slightly longer in old age.

[milanvans]

Damn, the outro nearly blew my eardrums out. Not the type of stuff you watch with a headset on.

[man-who-sold-the-world]

I finding the ending is hilarious. It's always louder then you can remember it.

[TristeRobot]

The end title card volume IS WAY TOO LOUD!!!!

[Chaindustries]

Hey guys, you wanna turn down the music of the outro a tad? bloody hell.

[brixgamez]

It feels like that outro music is a calculated attempt to make us want more of those "Wow, what a cliffhanger! Subscribe!" ones.

[yammyamm]

Whoever is in charge of this channel should get his sh*t together. Uploading the Vids in a random order is one thing, but that outro blasting off your ears? That's just too sloppy.

[crystalsoulslayer]

To whoever it is at CBS that handles these uploads: please, _please_ look up how to control the audio levels in whatever editing software you're using. Or you could correct it with Audacity, it's free and there are lots of tutorials.

[paulramos]

My ears hurt at the end. Please Saint Colbert, do something.
