Hey, if you're in Los Angeles on Saturday, March 14th, come on out to USC at the pop

conference where I'll be doing a little panel presentation on smooth music.

It's going to be scheduled for the 9 o'clock a.m. time slot.

Be, I don't know, a couple of hours.

You can pre-register for free on the PopCon website.

You do have to pre-register, but it is free.

And yeah, come on out if you're in the area.

God knows the rest of us will be there, heckling.

So we're going to have some great heckles.

Steve is going to have an even better talk.

We'll see you there.

I'm going to mess up the title of today's genre so much.

I encourage you to play a drinking game.

And maybe by the time it's over, everything will make sense.

Beyond Yad Rock 2000. Wow. What a podcast. I'd say this is the greatest music podcast on the internet.

I'd say of all time. I don't think that's an opinion. No, at this point, it's fact. It's fact. Do you think, wait, do you think this music podcast is greater than not only the podcast on the internet, but all podcasts? I do. Wow. Probably. Wow. Oh, wait, I thought we were just talking about music podcasts. We're talking about all podcasts.

You see these gold chairs that we're in? We're talking about music podcasts, but we're saying. On the internet, sure. And beyond. And beyond. Okay. Just like the name of our podcast. That's right. My name is J.D. Riznar. I'm Hollywood, Steve. I'm Hunter. I'm Dave. And what makes this podcast so great is that we create musical genres.

You know, we help you discover new music. We get you nostalgic about music, you know. Then we count down those songs from 10 to 1, and you feel good. Also, we have amusing banter from our 20-plus-year friendship. What a bunch of guys we are. Oh, man. I'm trying to think of better music podcasts. And honestly, I can only think like maybe a couple that are even rivals that are even in the same ballpark. Don't even stress your brain. It can't be done. I mean, I will always stand for a hit parade. But me too that is the goodest music podcast on the

internet yeah i think you're right i mean we're consistent it's a distinction is a distinction we're

consistent yes we consistently come up with new and wild things yeah every single week

parade consistently comes up with more hits and puts them on parade.

I'll believe you.
