What’s up, everybody! Here are JETALG RADIO 414 & BENKYO RADIO 414.

I finished Death Stranding (regular ending). I think there’s another ending when I finish all the side-missions. I’d like to point out that this is the regular version of the game, since I don’t have a PS5 yet (they’re still impossible to find), and the Director’s Cut version is still not out for PC on Steam. The game was wonderful. It was great for mental health. It really helps you cope with the Pandemic. You are out, by yourself, making deliveries. You are walking throughout America, helping rebuild our country. There’s wonderful storytelling, there are cliffhangers at the end of some chapters, there are plot twists, and the end of the game keeps you guessing. It was pure craziness. I want to thank Hideo Kojima for creating this game, and I hear he’s potentially working on a sequel, which I am very much looking forward to.

Happy 1 year anniversary to Cyberpunk 2077! I know a lot of people gave up on this game, but then they returned to it after the stable patches, and enjoyed what a wonderful experience it is (at least on PC). This game series has a lot of potential and we have barely scratched the surface. Just imagine how awesome the DLC and the Expansion and Sequel will be. People will be demanding more and more, as all of us love venturing out in Night City.

I’m looking forward to watching the rest of The Game Awards 2021, and congratulations to all the winners.

Don’t forget to wear a mask, get vaccinated, get boosted, and practice social-distancing. You guys have all watched the new South Park Pandemic POST-COVID special, we want this pandemic to last the next 3 years, not the next 40 years. So don’t be selfish, get vaccinated asap. Next South Park comes out in a few days! Can’t wait!

Until Next Time!

It is IMPERATIVE that you get vaccinated from COVID-19 immediately if you have not yet. If you’ve been vaccinated for more than 6 months, get your booster COVID-19 vaccination shot asap. This Omicron variant is extremely dangerous and has over 50 mutation variants. Don’t take a risk. Don’t be stupid like those Christian Extreme-Right-Wing Fundamentalists. This is a matter of life and death. You need to do something, and you need to do it fast. If you have scheduled a COVID-19 vaccination shot for your child who is 5 to 11 years old, Good Job. If you haven’t, get on that immediately. Don’t become one of those moron who thinks it’s not important, then ends up in the hospital in the ICU and begs the doctors to vaccinate him/her when it’s too late and he/she has to be on a ventilator. Don’t be that part of those statistics. Get vaccinated. It will save your live, and those around you that you care about. Not to mention, there are billions of people around the world who would like to enjoy the holidays, no matter what you celebrate, whether it’s Christmas, Eid, so on and so forth. Thanks for listening.

Until Next Time!

I hope you are all enjoying my podcasts/mixtapes. While JETLAG and BENKYO are in Level 400s, LAMBDA/QUANTUM/GT/TECHNO is at level 98, and MU/OMEGA/DISCO/DEEP HOUSE RADIO is at level 44. I want to make more Hard House Radio episodes, and more Cyberpunk Radio episodes, I just need an easier access to a list of Cyberpunk-type music. I wish there was a new category on Beatport, but it’s not there yet.

Feedback is much appreciated. As always, signing up for a Coinbase or Robinhood account using my referral links helps a lot. You can also directly send me Bitcoin or Dogecoin. Thank you for your support.

Until Next Time!

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 407 & BENKYO RADIO 407.

I am very happy that the Government will implement a bill to stop these thieves using bots to buy graphic cards online, making it impossible for the average consumer to get one. The GeForce RTX 3080 used to cost $750 and has been impossible to find. They now run for $2000-$3000 which is ridiculous. The consumers should get them for only $750, which is their normal price.

I also demand a meeting in Washington D.C. between members of the Capitol and semiconductors companies, and speed up manufacturing. Right now their bickering are turning them into evil Corpo straight out of Cyberpunk 2077. There are plenty of industries who do not have access to chips to make cars, computers, and plenty of other devices. It’s time for the manufacturing plants to get back to pre-COVID-19 levels. Get to work goddamnit. If not, cut the pay to all the CEOs and higher executives who make 6 or 7 figures while regular people are people making it by, paycheck to paycheck. I thank you for listening. I’m tired of this shit. Elon Musk went from $20 Billion to $420 Billion, during a fucking pandemic, and the average American needs another stimulus check because he/she cannot find work, even though he or she is qualified.

Until Next Time!

In 2013, Gary Vaynechuk released JAB, JAB, JAB, RIGHT HOOK. His whole philosophy was to utilize social media platforms, and “jab” or give, give, give, and then “right hook” or ask. He put out so much content. He wrote motivational books. He put out videos. And it was tough. People were having a hard time, they would go his content for motivation. He spoke of the most important philosophy, that the magic does not always happen from 9AM-5PM, but 5PM-to-Midnight. I sent him a message, and told him I’m sorry, I can’t afford to buy 5 copies of his new book. Do you know what he did? He sent me 5 copies of his new book for free. And all the copies were signed. Can you imagine my reaction? There he was, one of my favorite authors, and he just sent me this book, just like that. I was stupefied. I read his book. I read his other books. I followed the methodology. I gave, and I gave, and I gave. And now, I’m asking. I’ve made 1500 podcasts. I look forward to my reward. I exposed the Military Industurial Complex. I exposed the Mafia-Operating-Super-System-AD-vertising (MOSSAD). I got Tim Cook to sue NSO Israel Malware/Spyware for invading iOS. I have been very patient. I asked for a day job, nobody wanted to hire, stigmatized for Mental Health. I even got the entire INTERPOL organization to investigate Netanyahu for war crimes and corruption. Everyone at NATO has heard my story, and the DIA has been humiliated as a result for their interference in my job interviews with Tech companies (because I support Palestine), such as Intel Corporation, AMD, Google, Microsoft, Apple, and so on and so forth. I’m giving R&D to the U.S. Air Force.

I got 12 copies of Gary Vaynerchuck’s new book because I wanted the NFT, and because, when I was alone, utterly alone, and no one wanted to hang out, and nobody wanted to get coffee in 2017, this dude just gave me a book and uplifted my spirits. This author went from being so pissed off when people said “What’s the ROI (Return-on-Investment) of this, what’s the ROI of that?” and then he screamed back “What’s the ROI of your mother!?!” Then he went into his “Nobody Gives a Fuck about your Feelings!” then into “People say they don’t have time, EVERYBODY HAS TIME, stop fucking watching LOST!” and eventually into his Empathy phase, and understanding what Mental Health means. That’s why I understand the pain in his heart for the people of Belarus, just like he understands the pain in my heart for the people of Afghanistan.

The amount of work I have accomplished speak for itself. There are currently overpaid executives around the world collecting humongous income not doing shit, and I’m still paycheck to paycheck. You should all be embarrassed. 1277 days since last Intel Corporation paycheck.

I want my NISMO Nissan Skyline GT-R. Fucking figure it out.

Manchester United got a new Manager, a strong German. To all Manchester United supporters around the world, enjoy your pint of Guinness, you deserve it.

Cristiano Ronaldo will be out for blood in the Champions League. You put the Red Devils CR7 Legend in 6th place of the Ballon d’Or? You are all fucked.

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 405 & BENKYO RADIO 405.

I’d like to address a topic for the racing community. There is a minority of people who think they do not need to wear a seat belt, because of the freak accident of our beloved friend Paul Walker, when he died in his Porsche due to a defective seat belt. First of all, that is an isolated incident. In most cases, a seatbelt saves your life.

According to NSC Injury Facts, since 1975, seat belts are estimated to have saved 374,276 lives, with 14,955 in 2017 alone.

Just because you support seat belts does not mean you hate Paul Walker, in fact, you are promoting safe driving. His brothers currently wear seatbelts when they drive. Wear a seat belt. It will save your life. It saved mine. Remember the golden rule, whether driving a few blocks or any type of distance, you should ALWAYS wear your seatbelt. Do it for yourself, and your loved ones. I thank you in advance.

Until Next Time!
