Granted, they do talk about strippers a lot. There are other things that they do, though. For example, they have the "Hope for the Holidays" where they have people who need help just getting by. They're not down and out, but they're one speed bump away from losing everything. They push that to the listeners and people give money to the families in need. The show also supported Don Post, winner of the NASCAR humanitarian award this year.
Why do I bring Johnny Dare up? I was listening yesterday and they had one of the co-creators of the tinder app, a new type of dating app. A lot of people on the app focus on extreme short-term dating (hook-ups). They were talking about the dynamics of the app and why it's so appealing. During this discussion, a line was uttered that really made me think: "People like waking up knowing that someone likes them." Obviously, this doesn't mean that people like you, it's in the sense that someone is interested in you. Johnny's right; that's a great feeling! It's the kind of thing that help you get through a strenuous work week. It's the type of thing that makes summer days sunnier. Heck, it makes winter days sunnier, too. It makes you feel a little bit special. It also makes bad things fade away, if only momentarily.
For all of the terrible things that have happened in February for me, this February has been pretty good so far. 3 more days, right?
Oh, and don't worry, Johnny Dare & Co. definitely talked about strippers et al. during the tender tinder talk. I love words.
