What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 232 & BENKYO RADIO 232. I’ve also included LAMBDA/QUANTUM/GT/TECHNO RADIO 052.
THERE IS ONLY LESS THAN ONE MONTH LEFT UNTIL BIDEN TAKES OVER. I can’t believe it. It’s been so long! Alright, so right now, everybody in Congress is fighting Senator Mitch McConnell, who unlike many Americans who sworn their oath to the U.S. Constitution, he has does so for the Dark Side. He is a Sith Lord. He is keeping Stimulus Checks away from millions of Americans. It’s almost as if everybody in Congress is waiting for something. What the fuck are they waiting for? Who the hell didn’t turn in their report on time? Everybody is like WHEN IN THE FUCK are we going to get our Stimulus Checks, and extended unemployment! Every other western nations is laughing at the United States. We are supposed to be the Greatest Nation on Earth. Well, we don’t act like it. It appears that everybody is still too scared to touch the taboo topic of the #MilitaryIndustrialComplex / #WarEconomy. America needs to deal with the risks from Russia and China. Stop trying to call Iran a threat. You need to help its population provide leadership that has moderate Islam, like in Qatar/UAE. Iran needed to be respected by agreeing to the 2015 Nuclear Deal. By fucking that up, the Trump Administration ruined relationships. That is why we need to restore relations with the Biden Administration. Let diplomats do their work. Diplomats read a lot. Diplomats write a lot. So whenever Trump starts tweeting, it really fucks a lot of things up.
I want to thank Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr. for his words on #BLM. Growing up, I was the only brown kid in many of my classrooms. I always had to deal with the expression “stop acting so white” and I hated it. Here I was, working hard, doing everything in my power to better the lives of many. To get people to understand the importance of getting an education. Kids need to stop thinking Meek Mill is the answer to your problems. He makes millions of dollars. If you do a motorcross in the hood, then you go back home. Do you make millions of dollars? No. So what are you going to do? Dealing out there on the streets? During a pandemic? Y’all need to get an education. Remember LeBron James “I PROMISE” philosophy. You need to promise yourself to finish school. Whatever the fuck you want to do, is up to you, but you need an education. Don’t think that the Hollywood industry is always there for you. Did you see how they build up Britney Spears only to destroy her? Do you think the Music industry will be kind to Lady Gaga before her Amy Winehouse phase in 5 years? The reason why I live by the Dave Chappelle motto is because he was fucking sick and tired, and wanted to be left alone. They made him work, and gave him a little bit of cash. Then they said “fuck you” and just put all of his content on a loop. That’s right.
Alright, on a little happier note, it’s Christmas, so hopefully you were good, so that Santa Claus brings you some presents. Remember, kids. Don’t be sad if you don’t get a PS5. Hell, I don’t have a PS5. And I have intense important work to do. You need to reflect on the year 2020. What did you want for Christmas? I wanted a family. I got that now. I am very happy. As far as the demeanor of depression from the COVID-19 pandemic, I will stay strong for another couple of months, until the third-round of vaccination goes through (people with pre-existing conditions).
I’m gonna read Matthew McConaughey’s new book, but it’s pretty sad he doesn’t understand Bernie Sanders’ Our Revolution movement. Remember kids, the stars of our favorite movies are great, but the real people who do those things, they’re greater. I like Interstellar, and watching the stars at night, but my podcast, JETLAG RADIO, including a song about Saturn, and broadcasting my radio signal in outer space, years before NASA realized there were 2 dozen more moons, for a total of 82. That’s a whole lot fucking more amazing.
TENET came out on Bluray! It’s great to watch multiple times and find all the easter eggs. I wonder how Christopher Nolan got the inspiration to write the driving scenes. If he got his inspiration from someone and didn’t pay him. I’m sure it will backfire. He’s a great director, so I’m sure he will do the right thing.
I hope everybody in Cincinnati enjoyed their early Christmas present. The Bengals won a game in prime time against the Steelers. WoW.
This holiday season I will be thinking hard about the Palestinians people who have been ignored by the world, simply because they are not White. It’s very sad.
I look forward to hearing from many leaders, who are looking towards a Peace Plan in Afghanistan. There are a few more months until the month of May. It must take place. Without forgetting the women and children of that country, of course.
Happy Birthday to the Space Force which is one year old just the other day!
Oh yeah, and fuck Harley Quinn. New Batman movie out next year.
Also, you may love or hate your bestfriend, but he’s still your bestfriend. Same goes for your teammates. There may be frictions, but at the end of the day, the job needs to get done. Think Naruto and Sasuke.
I wonder why all these startups are fleeing to Texas and Florida. I mean are they that really greedy that they don’t want to pay their taxes? They make billions of dollars so they can’t pay a few dollars in taxes? As for Florida, it’s going to be underwater in a few years due to Climate Change.
The Mandalorian Season 2 was amazing! Looking forward to Season 3 next year!
Happy 23rd year anniversary to Gran Turismo!
Time to drink some coffee and eat some chocolate!
The new NBA season started! Let’s go, Cavs!
Don’t forget my usual PSA: It’s the holidays, so drive safe. Drink a 0.0% alcoholic beer, ALWAYS wear a seatbelt, the holidays are great, but only if we come home in one piece. Don’t do it just for yourself, think of your loved ones.
