In each episode, host Michael is joined by one of his comedy friends as they deconstruct the party jokes from old issues of Playboy magazines.

Do they hold up? Of course, they don’t. Can they be improved? Probably not. But it’s fun to listen to them try!

Today’s word of the day is “vanguard,” which refers to “the forefront of an action or movement. That meaning comes from the word’s original sense referring to troops moving at the head of an army.”

Did you know: Vanguard comes from Anglo-French avantgarde, from avant, meaning “before,” and garde, “guard.” In medieval times, avantgarde referred to the troops that marched at the head of the army. In time, vanguard marched its way as a word for the group of people who are the leaders of an action or movement in society, politics, art, etc.
