One of.

I am here with Mark Snyder from all I want to do is talk about Madonna.

And this is going to be our not, it's the anti-best of.

This is going to be our year-end cultural roundup.

We're going to talk about the favorite things we have seen and watched

and read. You're very anti- I hate best ofs. I hate best of the years. I find it lazy journalism.

Wait, tell me why. Well, because I think... I remember when I was a kid, I would read People

Magazine would always do the best of and then the worst of.

And not to bring up Madonna, but erotica was like the worst album of 1992 in People Magazine.

And I just remember turning the page, it was in the corner.

That's amazing.

And we should find the writer and get him on the show.

Oh, it's one of those People magazine hacks.

They're probably still writing for People magazine.

I would love to know who wrote that.

His name was like Matt Peters or something with one T, of course.

And so I think what I kind of pushed back on doing a best up because I wanted to

find I wanted to point out things that you may have missed that you can still access. So the way
