In January 2001, I heard a DJ say matter-of-factly, "Music always sounds best when The (DJ's initials) is at the helm."
My reaction today is the same as it was 20 years ago. Admittedly, the DJ had just chosen and played a strong set of music, featuring artists who aren't household names for most listeners. Showing confidence on the air also makes most listeners assume you know what you're talking about. Also, this was a noncommercial station, so the DJ was working for free.
But...referring to yourself in the third person and congratulating yourself on the air for your musical selection acumen? For humility's sake, it's better to let the listeners do that.
