As much as it is my personal duty to start raving at Armin van Buuren’s celebration of ASOT 1000 in Los Angeles, I alas have a scheduling conflict. I will have to perform my civic duty to vote in the French Presidential Elections during the first and second round. This is because of the rise of Nazism and the Far-Right in France from the various new parties that have emerged, all inspired by Nazi Le Pen and her Nazi Dad Jean-Marie Le Pen. It is now a duty for every French citizen, whether in France, or overseas, to vote in these Presidential Elections. If you do not cast a vote, or worst, vote “blanc”, and Anne Hidalgo & Emmanuel Macron do not make it to the second round of the Presidential Elections, you can hold yourself personally responsible for the fall of the 5eme Republique. Do not make that mistake. Vote. Votez. It is your civic duty. You’ve seen the damage a candidate like Trump did to America. Don’t let it happen to France. Thanks for listening.

I was very proud of France Rugby doing great (FMP! Fumoffu Episode 7). Drank a Pint of Guinness as a token of gratitude. Great job, guys! Vive La France!

Until Next Time!

As I’m reading and highlighting my new copy of Foreign Affairs magazine, it already feels a bit outdated due to the ruckus in Ukraine. It’s still a very important issue focusing on The Middle East, and highly recommend that you read it. Also, please refer to listening and watching The Economist, BBC News, France 24, and podcasts from VICE News and The Intercept. I haven’t watched CNN in a while, so please watch a few new episodes of Anderson Cooper 360, because he was in tears at how depressing things were in the region. Thank you.

Witnessing the Gran Turismo 7 introduction video was quite amazing! I had tears in my eyes, especially when the Ford GT #67 was driving. I’ve seen that car in real life at Laguna Seca, and it looked really impressive. There’s incredible news about Ford planning a return to GT3 racing in 2024, after partnering with Multimatic. Very exciting for Ford Motorsports fans around the world. The Coffee mode in GT7 is very fun, you get to accomplish many adventures and races, and upgrade your vehicles, and it is an amazing experience overall. I highly recommend all of you Gran Turismo fans and newcomers to enjoy this release. It’s amazing. I’m very impressed. I immediately got the Jaguar Vision GTS SV, and can’t wait to get the Nissan NISMO GT-R. I think all of us are eager to drive around the Nurburgring all over again, and I hear it’s extremely hard and downright impossible in the rain.

As you may know, the Pyramid of Giza is 481 feet. I’ve always wanted to visit Egypt, and unfortunately, its president is a ruthless man who has imprisoned journalists, including ones from AL-Jazeera. Mahmoud Houssein was released after spending more than four years in detention. This is terrible, because people in Egypt are wonderful, not to mention DJs Aly & Fila are from there. They throw amazing parties and festivals, and would love to see them perform one of these days. Having over 481 songs/tracks on a playlist/mixtape/podcast is a lot, and you have the time to listen, take some time to listen to JL R 083. An ex-coworker kept talking about “Ancient Aliens” TV show, and I think I will finally give it a go. You can also experience an amazing story of Assassin’s Creed Origins, which takes place in Egypt. I look forward to revisit that game once I can allocate some time. I also have tremendous respect for Mohamed Salah, an Egyptian Football player from Egypt who supports the Palestinian People, despite the fact that he is a Liverpool player (as you know, I’m a huge Manchester United supporter).

There’s a Peet’s Coffee Shop in Folsom I would frequent before taking a moment to reflect on U.S. Military who were deployed in Afghanistan. I am glad they returned safely using the “No One Left Behind” motto, despite how messy the pullout was. While the chapter on Afghanistan is nowhere near over, at least we did it, we defeated the “Military-Industrial-Complex.” Also, America has the capacity to destroy ISIS/ISIL around the globe, and we will use our diplomatic tools to force the Taliban to understand they must respect women/girls to have an education by politely referring them to a YouTube video of a Stealth B-2 Bomber. In addition, please continue to support organizations such as Team Rubicon, and the International Rescue Committee (IRC), who are helping with the influx of new Afghan Refugees. Thank you.

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 476 & BENKYO RADIO 476.

I was approached by a group of Anonymous Firefighters who wanted me to speak on suicide prevention in their ranks. It is imperative that you find camaraderie, outlets and hobbies that can help you on your journey. For me, what worked the best was hearing the rapper Logic’s song about the phone number 1-800-273-8255. There’s a music video and everything. It is extremely important for you to find a routine, one that works for you, and one that helps you calm down. For me, it’s simply a cup of coffee, listening to music, and writing. There is a comic strip about a man who was pink. He was angry about something. Then the comic strip transforms where he is no longer pink, but the piece of paper was pink. Then he smiled. That’s because if there’s one thing I’ve learned over the years, it’s not healthy to keep up anger to yourself. You need to let that stuff out. You need to write. Because when you don’t write, you keep all these emotions built up inside of you, and that is not very healthy. If you have a friend who is struggling, tell him to see a shrink. We need to stop the stigma. If you have a stressful job, OF COURSE IT’S OKAY TO SEEK THERAPY. This is also the fault of the collective behavior of groups. Don’t make fun of a peer because he’s in therapy. You don’t know what that person has been through. They may have some deep psychological problems, and they need to talk about it. There’s nothing wrong, they’re not bad people, they just need to talk to a therapist once a month or once a week. Therapy is healthy. The only reason more Americans don’t seek it, is because it’s so fucking expensive in this country. If I still lived in France, I could go weekly and it’d be paid by the government. And fuck all your French are “surrenders” jokes because guess fucking what, do you know who is in charge of NATO this year? That’s right, it’s the French. There are the ones leading the offensive against Russia right now.

Until Next Time!
