He tells 99percentinvisible that he was listening to the San Francisco police scanner after the Giants won the World Series in 2010. The reports started to become tedious, so Eric started playing some music. The mashup is like the collision of peanut butter and chocolate that led to Reeses' Peanut Butter Cups.
