What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 841 & BENKYO RADIO 841. There is a new Netflix series from The Obamas, regarding “Working: What We Do All Day.” This should be an incredible look into the lives of individuals from various sectors of multiple industries. You will hear from people who work behind a computer desk, to those who work minimum wage desperately waiting for the wage to increase, as mentioned multiple times by Senator Bernie Sanders. Anyway, I love Obama (Luther!), and I am sick and tired of demanding on his help. The Former President is retired, and here he is again, trying his damnest to save us all due to a very delicate political situation, due to the fact that we have yet to put Donald Trump behind jail, and President Biden is currently facing an outlook where Vice President Kamala Harris may beat him in the polls for being the best candidate in 2024. Anyway, it’s going to be a great series, and it will be released next week.

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 836 & BENKYO RADIO 836.

I rented an Audi S6 during Part I (Part II was in France) of my honeymoon from Frankfurt to the Nürburgring and from the Nürburgring to Cologne. It was one of the most incredible feelings in my life. I would love to own such vehicle but at $74K, it is definitely above my budget. Anyway, it was an amazing road-trip. If only I had ALLDATA stocks. I worked there. Why don’t I own ALLDATA stocks? It went from $222 in the early 2010s to almost $3000/share today in 2023. That would have paid for an Audi, and my retirement. Something is fishy. My bestfriends worked at ALLDATA. My former manager who fired me, him? I’m not so happy with him.

Until Next Time!
