[SPEAKER_04]: Mike O'Mara, Radio Entertainment.

[SPEAKER_01]: The higher you get the gang, and then the analogy lobby is quiet with what we will start to show.

[SPEAKER_04]: T-M-O-S, classic, Friday, flashback.

[SPEAKER_07]: It's a great joke.

[SPEAKER_07]: It's an old man's joke.

[SPEAKER_07]: If you know what it is, I would qualify that as a golf course joke.

[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_06]: Well, yeah.

[SPEAKER_06]: So now the joke that I told last year that I told you guys about the three women on the beach.

[SPEAKER_06]: Yes, I remember.

[SPEAKER_06]: And we will, you're about to be when the tide comes out.

[SPEAKER_06]: That's the punchline.

[SPEAKER_06]: Yes.

[SPEAKER_06]: This guy tells a joke to me yesterday.

[SPEAKER_06]: And I got another good one for you.

[SPEAKER_06]: And this when you know you're old and you're, and the guys looking at you in the eye and you're the one that told them the joke originally.

[SPEAKER_06]: And no really it's commonplace it's completely accepted it especially from guys that tell jokes all the time Like what it is it's part of an oral history it's how jokes live on they're not always written down speaking of oral history that was the last joke

[SPEAKER_06]: It's true, it's true.

[SPEAKER_03]: I always, I guess, because my pants aren't funny.

[SPEAKER_03]: And they don't laugh at jokes.

[SPEAKER_03]: They don't make jokes that much.

[SPEAKER_03]: So it's not, my dad tries to make a joke.

[SPEAKER_03]: He doesn't tell jokes at all.

[SPEAKER_06]: You've got a great sense of humor, but you know what I was going to do.

[SPEAKER_06]: No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

[SPEAKER_03]: Why don't like a stick?

[SPEAKER_03]: I don't, how do I, I would put it, um, I don't like jokes that aren't appropriate in the workplace.

[SPEAKER_03]: That's the best place.

[SPEAKER_03]: Enjoy that.

[SPEAKER_07]: Well, because I don't like how do I say this?

[SPEAKER_07]: I don't like podcasting or electricity or computers.

[SPEAKER_06]: Well, you know, his other show is you call it the no stick zone.

[SPEAKER_06]: Yes.

[SPEAKER_06]: A no stick zone.

[SPEAKER_06]: And so what it is is a I will slide inside my mind.

[SPEAKER_06]: Everybody knows it in a very smooth group zone.

[SPEAKER_07]: Oscar, do you know what event that is?

[SPEAKER_07]: Do you know what event I am?

[SPEAKER_07]: I love the big one do show.

[SPEAKER_07]: I love the big.

[SPEAKER_06]: Those are not good inside.

[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, a lot of it.

[SPEAKER_06]: Well, there's too much inside.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, well, we've actually talked about it on the show, we're like, if you don't know that, like, if God, as far as talking about and starting a tab, and never was finished, headshots were taken, and it's just a story of our lives of the characters, so you could refer to character like a chart.

[SPEAKER_03]: We talk about other people so much, but I will do you guys get rid of it, which you can be on the program.

[SPEAKER_06]: I will give you guys what I know the people, well, I know the people I get caught up in it.

[SPEAKER_07]: When you all feel that you are part of an inside joke, and that's what comes with years of listening, yes, the joke becomes rare and funnier.

[SPEAKER_03]: That's how I got into the junkies.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, because I remember listening to the junkies for the very first time, this is, look, you're talking to a guy who grew up listening to Alt Rock Radio and not talk radio.

[SPEAKER_03]: Right, because you're cool, right?

[SPEAKER_03]: No, because I didn't know any better and my parents didn't throw anything on except for WTOP and then let us raise the radio once in a while.

[SPEAKER_07]: WTOP your home for Alt Rock.

[SPEAKER_03]: No, it was, it was news and weather and we thought that was boring.

[SPEAKER_07]: And come screwdriver, I'm new, all you'd to do.

[SPEAKER_03]: And then, all said, and I'm driving in the Carter WVU and we're listening to the junkies when they're on it night.

[SPEAKER_03]: Right.

[SPEAKER_03]: And I was like, who the f are these guys?

[SPEAKER_03]: And it was cake talking about working in Toys Arost and still doing the night show.

[SPEAKER_03]: And I was like, who the f are these guys? [SPEAKER_03]: And it was cake talking about working in Toys Arost and still doing the night show. [SPEAKER_03]: And I was like, this guy's the manager of Toys Arost and then he goes and does a radio show. [SPEAKER_03]: How the hell is that working out? [SPEAKER_03]: And kept this company all the way to, like the breezewood. [SPEAKER_03]: And I was like, [SPEAKER_03]: I like talk radio. [SPEAKER_03]: This is crazy. [SPEAKER_06]: No, I mean, one of the reasons we listen to comedy all the way down to Florida is because it makes the time of life. [SPEAKER_06]: And one of the reasons people stack this show for, you know, eight hour drives is because, you know, it keeps some company. [SPEAKER_06]: That's that's what we do. [SPEAKER_06]: But as you were talking, I was reflecting on down here in Cocoonville, right, and Midwestern Cocoonville where the joke they love Indiana South Mike that that I've been told like 11 times now that is so inappropriate that I can't share it with you here. [SPEAKER_06]: And they just love it because it's got all the elements [SPEAKER_06]: Can you even give the punch line without being able to elements, it involves the Kardashians, right? [SPEAKER_06]: And a golf ball. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, yeah, yeah. [SPEAKER_07]: I'll start that this joke is existed in other iterations for many years. [SPEAKER_06]: Of course it has. [SPEAKER_06]: Of course it has. [SPEAKER_06]: It's been upgraded. [SPEAKER_06]: A lot of the the zeal that it's like it is one of the issues that I have. [SPEAKER_03]: But golf course, like, or golf jokes in general. [SPEAKER_03]: are, I think, for a journal history have been, I've been told, not necessarily the off-color. [SPEAKER_06]: That's a great word for it, right? [SPEAKER_06]: Uh, you know, so, so let me give you, I'll give you a non-race in some off-show. [SPEAKER_06]: But it's misogynistic, but it's misogynistic, it's always in someone's experience. [SPEAKER_03]: Off-color is, I guess, the best way to say that it never really was, uh, [SPEAKER_03]: something you could you could talk about or say at work with no random I would say not even just work. [SPEAKER_07]: I would say off color indicates that the joke for some reason does not play in all And not just yes, not just race right right. [SPEAKER_06]: It could be there's a golfer right so there's a golfer and he has his regular Saturday For some and this guy is It's an all business. [SPEAKER_06]: He doesn't pay attention to anybody else He doesn't engage anybody else in conversation and he doesn't because he likes to play fast [SPEAKER_06]: he likes to get his rounds right fast fast fast and and so he's playing golf with his buddies and he's an old guy he's been at it a long time and he rarely says anything and they finally get to the 17th green and and the 17th green is a whole that is right next to the main drag the main route that goes through town. [SPEAKER_06]: And they're sitting there and the guy, you know, just playing his usual fast round. [SPEAKER_06]: And suddenly, a funeral possession goes by. [SPEAKER_06]: And they're on the left and the guy stops. [SPEAKER_06]: Like right in the middle of his put, he stops and he takes off his hat. [SPEAKER_06]: And he waits till the elast car, the hurts of the funeral possession goes by first. [SPEAKER_06]: But he waits till the last car goes by. [SPEAKER_06]: This is like 11 minutes in large huge possession. [SPEAKER_06]: and one of his playing partners is just stunned by this and he said let me ask you a question why would you possibly stop in the middle of playing one of the fastest plays you never pay attention to anything and take your hat off and watch that funeral procession go by this is while I should I was married to her for 18 years [SPEAKER_06]: I'm being a fool I'm being a fool I'm being a fool I'm being a fool I'm being a fool I'm being a fool I'm being a fool I'm being a fool I'm being a fool I'm being a fool I'm being a fool I'm being a fool I'm being a fool I'm being a fool I'm being a fool I'm being a fool I'm being a fool I'm being a fool I'm being a fool I'm being a fool I'm being a fool I'm being a fool I'm being a fool I'm being a fool I'm being a fool I'm being a fool I'm being a fool [SPEAKER_03]: I will tell, I would say, the older folks in my life in a very kind and willing way, including, I would say, neighbors of mine or people in my life that say certain things or maybe add, no, how'd be adjectives? [SPEAKER_03]: At the time, use that, the certain adjectives or verbs, and I'll say, hey, now they're usually the trouble. [SPEAKER_03]: I say, I don't think that word, actually I know that word isn't used anymore to describe that. [SPEAKER_03]: And they're like, yeah, it'd probably right, and then this is awkward silence of in my mad at them or not, but I'd rather help than hurt. [SPEAKER_03]: It's all I know. [SPEAKER_06]: Thank you, Dashi and Joe. [SPEAKER_06]: Yes. [SPEAKER_06]: I'm one more, one more effort away from telling it to me. [SPEAKER_06]: And if that, if that, I'm just going to be like, okay, enough. [SPEAKER_06]: I'm pleased. [SPEAKER_06]: I'm curious. [SPEAKER_06]: I don't even like the card actually. [SPEAKER_07]: I'm curious, and I said it earlier, Oscar, do you know what a venn diagram is? [SPEAKER_07]: I do. [SPEAKER_07]: Okay, so I would say that the venn diagram, the overlapped plane to me would have been. [SPEAKER_07]: A venn diagram is a food pyramid. [SPEAKER_07]: No, it's not. [SPEAKER_07]: It is a graph of circles. [SPEAKER_07]: And like for our show, the representation would be a mic circle, a Rob circle. [SPEAKER_07]: Like a mobile. [SPEAKER_07]: And it's not an Oscar circle. [SPEAKER_07]: And what overlaps say this, you put the circle. [SPEAKER_06]: Was it created by by Porter Venn, T. M. O. S. Listener Porter Venn. [SPEAKER_06]: I'm pretty sure it was. [SPEAKER_06]: deep content. [SPEAKER_07]: So like where my circle overlaps with your circle, it would be stuff that we share in common. [SPEAKER_07]: And like where the circles try sector would be stuff that we all share. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, say our love of family would be something that our venn diagram is shared from all three pies. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_07]: Bye. [SPEAKER_07]: You can tell a joke. [SPEAKER_07]: I tell jokes, but an Oscar's diagram. [SPEAKER_07]: I'm curious. [SPEAKER_07]: You deal with people. [SPEAKER_07]: You do business things. [SPEAKER_07]: You talk to clients. [SPEAKER_07]: You go out. [SPEAKER_07]: You glad hand you do things. [SPEAKER_07]: Yes. [SPEAKER_07]: Do you have any jokes in your arsenal of your phone? [SPEAKER_07]: I don't know. [SPEAKER_03]: I am not the joke. [SPEAKER_07]: I understand, but just as a guy would be propelizing on the show as well. [SPEAKER_07]: No, but do you have like a simple I won't say golf course joke, but just like a simple story telling I have a horrific joke. [SPEAKER_03]: Is it one that would play here that note that would I would say what Mike did before the show was So it was baby powder compared to the Napom that I threw down and had a bad experience with When someone had to say hey, I didn't think that was funny. [SPEAKER_03]: That was actually racist [SPEAKER_03]: You didn't know you were right. [SPEAKER_03]: I didn't know I was being like, I just didn't know. [SPEAKER_03]: But it stopped in my tracks, they're like, [SPEAKER_03]: And I might have been, I would say, 20 years old, stopped at my tracks and said, that's not funny. [SPEAKER_03]: That's completely not inappropriate. [SPEAKER_03]: But you should have, you should have, you should have one color. [SPEAKER_07]: One clean joke in your arsenal, just in case. [SPEAKER_06]: I think of all the jokes written, uh, mem with the no arms and
