John Tesh

John Tesh is an American musician and radio personality, famous for his unusual blandness. His John Tesh Radio Show has aired on many soft rock and adult contemporary stations since 2003, and Chris seems to have been a regular listener since the early days of the program.

The show's format intersperses music with trivia and advice from Tesh on a variety of subjects. Tesh's romantic advice appears to have had the most influence on Chris. In particular, Tesh is a proponent of the more conservative interpretation of the three-date rule, which is probably where Chris picked it up from.

Chris catches the Tesh show on his favorite local radio station, Z95.1.
