The young man said he listens to this program every week and cries at the end of each episode! Of course, he said, 'I cry,' the 'crying' part I added myself!... I asked: What do you mean? I make a comedy program that sometimes is funnier and blossoms, and sometimes due to tragic news and shortages of electricity and water, it becomes less funny! He said: No, I just cry! I said: Sir, you have completely disrupted the foundation of our life, culture, art, and literature! We strive to create a program with refined and exquisite humor! That is not trivial! It should add something to society and something to ourselves! Efforts are made to turn six into eight! He said: No, I just cry! I said: Look! Should I close this program and my years of experience regarding this issue? Should I go into the business of reciting elegies? He said: No, I just cry! I asked: Why? Now that this is the case, from now on, I will go on the program and tell Rashti jokes! Because I am Rashti, it's okay! It works! If you are Rashti and tell Rashti jokes, it's free, but if you are not Rashti and tell Rashti jokes, I will hit you in the mouth so that you can't speak! He said: No, I just cry! I didn't say anything else! I turned my head and glanced at the exit door leading to the street and muttered to myself: Should I just throw myself under a car and end it all! He said: If you do that, I will cry again! I asked: Why are you crying? He said: The situation is not funny! I took a deep breath, relieved that 'it is not me who is crying' and 'it is the situation that has become crying!' Thank God it wasn't my fault! We talked about other things with the young man that are not relevant here. Since that day until now, I have thought a lot about these words. This program is the result of the thoughts of a contemporary clown satirist who tries to be positive!
