Have you ever tried an “Impossible” Burger? It’s a burger with synthetic meat, made from plants. It’s actually really good, it tastes like the real thing, and it can stop us from our dependency on meat in America. As you know, it’s an industry that is worth almost a trillion dollars, and contributes to Climate Change and Global Warming. I’m not suggesting you quit meat cold-turkey, but maybe after 5 regular burgers, try an impossible burger, then alternate, or something like that. I’m eager to see whenever In-n-Out will have an Impossible Burger with Animal-Style dressing. I bet it will be mighty delicious.

Until Next Time!

I believe through the power of music, that you can make contact with “God” or The “Universe” or whatever you want to call it. There is something out there, in outer space, that is listening. You may not think so, but I believe there is an entity that is listening to music on Earth. This is very powerful stuff. Especially with Electronic Music. Pioneers of Electronic Music knew this for a long time. Please do your research about Jean-Michel Jarre who is a leader in this industry. Another amazing artist, is BT, not to be confused with BTs from Death Stranding the video game. The Musician BT is actually really smart and very talented. I will of course include his music in future podcasts. BT became famous early on in the world of Dance Music for his song “Somnambulist” in which he sang “Simply Being Loved, is more than enough.”

The pandemic has gotten so bad, that you cannot attend concerts without being at risk of contamination. I implore you that now that you’ve been vaccinated to get your family, friends, relatives to also get vaccinated and boosted. It’s so important so that we can get back to some sort of normalcy.

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!

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 410 & BENKYO RADIO 410.

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!
