Speaker 1 (00:00):
And a happy Wednesday. Friend. Welcome to the thought Shower intern.
John is my name. I am in a pickle today.
I guess like I was eighty years old. I am
in a straight up pickle today, my friend, I was
supposed to go golfing today, but it's gonna be hot, dude,
(00:22):
like it's supposed to be. I think a hundred today,
which is I'm not built for the heat. Let me
pull up real quick because I think there's like a
heat warning like that. That's how bad it is today.
I was supposed to be like one hundred something degrees
on Frederick, Maryland weather. Here we go. Uh I should bad? No?
(00:42):
Oh no, yeah, ninety eight degrees he advisory, no ideal
to be golfing, man, But I really wanted to go.
I was looking forward seeing my buddy Andrew. But he says,
supposed to feel like it's over one hundred. So yeah,
I mean, yeah, one hundred and three. Not great, not
(01:03):
great at all. In fact, that's that DMV fake falls
that they call it, where you think falls here and
then all of a sudden, no, it's a going uh
So I don't know if I'm gonna be able to golf
today I'm kind of bummed. It's one of those things
where I golf to me is fun. I don't know
it's fun enough to do when it's one hundred and
(01:25):
three degrees, you know what I mean, especially because I'm
not particularly good at it. So I'm gonna have to
walk a lot because I've yet to hit a home one,
and I feel like that will probably never happen. I'm
being completely honest. I feel like a whole one not
in my future. I'm also getting worried to my phone's
slowing down. Don't like it. Don't like it at all
(01:49):
because I don't trade in phones. I keep all my
phones more of like a paranoia thing that somebody could
always get something off the phone. So I don't want
to have to go and pay, you know, ten million
dollars for a new phone, especially because I've said this
before on the show. There haven't been any updates with
(02:10):
the phone that make yo, oh wow, I need this one,
you know, like the last I think probably real, oh
my gosh, I need this phone update was maybe FaceTime,
But since then, there's nothing I could think of it.
Maybe there's been like more like nerdier advances, but nothing
(02:32):
that makes you go wow. I still think the next
one has to be like a hologram, Like you put
the phone down, it pops up three D. That's probably
the only thing that could make it cool. I guess,
so that makes sense. Speaking of phones, I had a
wild morning this morning. My alarm went off and I
knocked the phone down the ground. Somehow my hand was numb.
(02:54):
I must have slept with my hand weird, and so
I was trying to grab my phone while my hand
was numb. That was like the oddest experience of coming
out of like being unconscious, you know, sleeping to being conscious.
All suddens, Like my hand's gone. This is the lot
I've been given in life. My hand is now gone.
(03:14):
Think I found it? Pump tomorrow too. So Jimmy's Famous
Seafoods having like a fiftieth anniversary gala. Your boys been invited,
God plus one. We're agatt Sauce so very excited to
get dressed up in the hang with my good friends
with Jimmy's ingrats and them. Man, fifty years in the
restaurant industry is crazy, guy, Get to this for your Wednesday.
(03:36):
Dudes with these personality traits make the best boyfriends. Now
I do this kind of stuff. It's like, John, are
you really making this like a billboard for yourself? Absolutely,
I happen to think I'm a great boyfriend. I do.
I listen, I plan things. I listen for the most part.
(03:57):
If I don't listen, it's not intentional, you know. So
let's get into this. According to the experts, Number one,
he has a wicked sense of humor. I mean, come on, now,
you know you know what I'm saying. They say it's
not just being funny. It's his ability to see the
(04:17):
lighter set of life. That's the real charm. I do
think that's something I look forward to. And somebody is
like somebody that can just kind of lighten the mood
that you genuinely want to be around, you know what
I mean. Because somebody who has a good sense of humor,
you just know you're gonna have a good time with them.
You just know it's gonna be a positive Like that's
one of those things where if you know a couple
(04:39):
of days in advance you're seeing like that person, whether
it's somebody your date or not, you get excited for it.
I guess it's gonna be good for the soul one percent.
He's respectful and polite. Well yeah, yes, yes, yes, he
listens and takes your views in the count makes you
feel value and heard. Respects. His respects extends beyond your relationship,
(05:02):
you know, so with others too. I do think for
me too, like I, you know, have a lot of
people in my ears because I have a lot of
different you know, projects, activity is going on. So for me,
it's very important that the person I'm with kind of
acts like an advisor, if that makes sense, like somebody
I can go to and like. So what I like.
(05:22):
My way I ask for advice is I'll usually explain
that my thought process and something like I'll explain my
idea and then I'll walk through the thought process. So
it's it's a little bit more timely z the word,
but it can't take a little more time. So I
really appreciate having somebody that can be like almost like
my counsel. That makes sense, where they'll give their thoughts
(05:44):
and they know me well enough. I think that's hugely important.
He's trustworthy. Yeah, I mean yes, they say it's a
comfort to know you with someone who values trust and
works to maintain it. I mean I do think, Yeah,
that's import and obviously because then that goes to not
only just being faithful, but trusting somebody that you can
(06:06):
open up to, that you can say when things are wrong,
you can you know something doesn't go right, you can
trust that you can be vulnerable around that person. It's
one of the best feelings in the world. If he's
unfailingly honest. See, honesty builds trust. He knows it. He's
up routing honest with you, even when it's tough. He's
(06:28):
not about playing games or hiding his true feelings. Obviously
important honesty and relationships. I've said this a couple of times,
but I maintain I think I've realized as I've got older,
the more times I'm just honest about something and just
tell the truth, the easier things are. Even if the
truth isn't what somebody wants to hear, or even if
(06:49):
the truth might put some heat on me, it's just
so easier to tell the truth. And just because that way,
it's like I think the knowledge of all he uses
like you're kind of nipping it in the butt right then, Yeah, like,
here's the truth, here's what it is. Boom. He's dependable, Yes,
reliability is sexy. He embodies it and can count him
to keep his promises and be there when he says
(07:10):
he will. Yeah, I maintained kind of going back to
the last thing, I think so many folks are willing to,
I say, trade your name for a little bit of comfort,
Like when you lie and get caught, you're kind of
sacrificing your own you know, standing I guess which. I
don't think people necessarily realize that it's a being dependable.
(07:33):
I think it's also just like that's like it's a
sexy thing too, if you know, if people know they
can rely on you, that that's a huge asset. He's confident,
not arrogant. He strikes the perfect balance between confidence humility.
I mean, duh, duh, bro duh. He shared himself when
(07:56):
I bow's fully. He's comfortable in the skin. Encourage you
to feel the same way yours. His confidence is quiet,
not a loud and overbearing Totally. This confidence is attractive
because it's not about proving anything anyone. It's being secure
and who he is and in your relationship. I don't
think you need that, like, especially security in a relationship.
(08:17):
I've been in relationships where I felt secure in the
relationship right, And that's one of the best feelings in
the world where you feel like it doesn't matter what
the issue is or what the attack is, so to speak,
that things will be okay. I've been in relationships or
I guess had had stretches in relationships where I didn't
feel secure in relationship and that's one of the worst
(08:37):
feelings ever. That is like when you are constantly waiting
for the other shoe to drop. That is nothing but
anxiety and you overthink. And that's a cycle. Friends, we
don't need to be in the last one. He's ambitious
and knows where he's going. He's driven, has goals, which
is inspiring. His ambition isn't just about career success. It's
(08:59):
a personal growth and striving to be better. I like
that again, I think that goes both ways. I think
that to me is a very attractive thing is when
somebody has goals, obviously, but when they're taking steps to
get to those goals. Even with folks where it's like
if you like start therapy, I think that's a great step,
(09:19):
you know, And can it be hard at first, absolutely?
Can it be challenging, sure, But I think taking that
first step is huge having somebody who you know. To me,
it's like if you're working on yourself, you can see
things long term, if that makes sense. And like, obviously
the goal is we're together forever, so I want us
(09:40):
both to be like the absolute best we can forever,
you know, kind of vibe man kind of the goal. Listen.
I mean today started crazy me thinking I lost my hand.
What a what a way to start the Wednesday. I
appreciate you listening. If you have a chance to follow
along at intern Gohn Radio, have an amazing Wednesday. On
a Friday, be able to talk about how the event
(10:03):
of Jimmy's went. Appreciate you
