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!

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 406 & BENKYO RADIO 406.

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.

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!

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 404 & BENKYO RADIO 404.

I hope you guys picked up FIFA 22 and NBA 2K22 for Christmas, as there were both on sale for 50% off.

Cyberpunk 2077 is currently 50% off. Now is a great time to buy a Playstation/Xbox/Nintendo/PC game on sale for the holidays.

I have just started Battlefield 2042 and OH MY GOD, it is amazing. Unfortunately some people say that the one 128 players map does get repetitive, but I’m sure the guys working on the game will provide many more updates as time goes on. Maybe we’ll get new maps, or a single-player campaign. You never know.

Very disappointed that OSU lost to Michigan in the Big-Ten rivalry match. Let us not forget that OSU previously beat them like 17 times in a row. The game was in the snow, so maybe the players were cold. Defense made mistakes, that’s true, but that’s why you must remember that we win as a team, and we lose as a team. OSU does NOT need any bandwagon fans. Some of us have been fans for a very long time. I’m Alumni Class of 2009, how about you? Do you think it’s more fun to go to THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY or TTUN? The memories I have from that school are unmatched. Did you know that OSU is now working on advancements in Nanotechnology? Visit the Nanotech West Lab for more info.

PS. Remember, there is no “glitch in the Matrix.” Zion is not under attack. If anything, Ramallah and Palestinian Territories are under attack. Living in oppression for the past 73 years. Living like Prisoners. Behind a wall. How amazing it was when we took down the Berlin Wall. Why can’t we take down the wall in Palestine and Israel? Because they are brown people and not white? Do you see the type of racism these people deal with? Besides “Zion” is not a city. It’s just a computer. “Z (Zheta (or end) I-O (Input/Output) N (Network). It’s just a big fancy computer. In 1967, 750,000 Palestinians were evicted to create the state of Israel. If you want people to learn about history and not forget history, that’s fine. But if you want to talk about WW I, and WW II, don’t forget 1967, because Palestinians remember it clearly.

The best way to empathize and sympathize with a common people, to prevent future terrorist attacks, is to understand their point of view. Put yourself in their goddamn shoes. Israel bombed and killed 66 children this past month of May 2021. They are goddamn murderers. There are worst than Satan. It took that, to finally kill Bibidi Netanyahu, the evil Wizard, from his Prime Minister job. That’s how fucking powerful he was. That’s why I will always support Palestine, and make Palestinian music heard around the globe.

Let’s not forget, who benefited the most from 9/11/2001? Was it Palestine or Israel? Was it little Palestinian children throwing rocks, or was it the multi-trillion-dollars Military-Industrial-Complex that took 20 fucking years to expose and stop? We’ve all watched Full Metal Alchemist, we know what people did to get the Philosopher’s Stone. The Law of Equivalent Exchange. It’s Jesus of Bethlehem (Palestine), never forget that.

The same way a Black Man can love the U.S. Air Force even though he remembers the past of slavery in this country, is the same way that I, a Brown Man, can love the U.S. Air Force even though I know the Truth. The truth that America destroyed Germany and Japan in WW II, and rebuilt them to pure amazement, whether it is German Engineering cars or Japanese Technology, but that they decided to destroy Afghanistan and not rebuild it. I will always remember that. So excuse me for being a little grumpy, doing a little self-care, and writing about my emotions.

It’s almost December! 4 more months until Gran Turismo 7!

Until Next Time!

With the new Omicron COVID variant, it is even more imperative to quickly vaccinate kids 5-11 from the COVID-19 virus. Make sure you make your appointment as soon as possible. Thanks in advance.

The YouTube video I wanted to use for this blogpost is not available yet. It’s the Cyberpunk documentary part 4 by Indigo Gaming. You can watch the first 3 parts as posted on my previous blogposts.

Until Next Time!

I am extremely grateful for the makers of SOUTH PARK’s latest special “South Park: Post Covid” available on Paramount+. It was awesome because it was a whole hour long, and I’m not going to spoil it if you haven’t seen it yet, but it takes on the spoiled brats of the world: the people who refuse to get vaccinated. It essentially explain that the pandemic lasts 40 fucking years because there’s a minority of people who still refuse to get vaccinated, and that’s why we still have to wear masks…for 40 fucking years. So pretty please, with a cherry on top, get your fucking COVID-19 vaccine / booster shot. Do it to protect yourself, and those you love. Thanks in advance. We want this pandemic to last a few years, not decades.

Until Next Time!

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 400 & BENKYO RADIO 400.

I have installed Windows 11 a few weeks ago, and I wanted to let you know it works pretty well, and it does not seem to have broken any app so far. It’s sleek, with a beautiful dark-blue design. New UI as well.

I have reached 400 episodes. Great new milestone! I want to thank those who supported me. And remember, please donate to my PAYPAL page. Follow me on Twitter at @IAMZAKI so that I can apply for Twitter Super Follow. Even just $1 makes a huge difference. Thank you for your support.

The Cleveland Cavaliers were doing great, then got a bunch of injuries. I hope they are still able to make it to the playoffs. Go Cavs!

Big week for The Ohio State Football team! Beat X*CH*G*N!

It’s official! We’re getting a new Manager at Manchester United! Who will it be?!?

With Thanksgiving almost upon us, please enjoy it, and be thankful. I will be a designated driver that day, and as always, leading by example, by drinking a 0.0% alcohol beer, such as Heineken 0.0. You can drink this holiday, obviously, but if you’re headed back on the road, you will need a designated driver. Always wear a seatbelt. Please don’t become another sob story statistic for CHP. It’s all fun and games to enjoy some good turkey, but only if all of us return home safely. There are plenty more holidays to enjoy, especially with Christmas coming up. Thanks for listening.

Until Next Time!
