What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 916 & BENKYO RADIO 916. Now, the Sacramento Kings last year had a wonderful season, and even made the playoffs. That’s amazing. I remember a time many years ago where I had a deal from NBA.com for about $250 to attend about 8 Sacramento Kings home games in a row. The majority of the time, I had these 4 tickets, and it was just me, myself, and I (people were surprisingly unavailable). I was so excited the first time I attended, I saw Drake who was sitting courtside. Anyway, I was going to attend a game this season, but I got a cold. It reminded me of a time when I was so excited to get sushi with someone for Christmas (I bought a Christmas Ugly Sweater) eve, but she said she had a cold. Anyway, I look forward to attend a Kings game next season, especially if they face the Cleveland Cavaliers or the Portland Blazers. In the meantime, we can all enjoy NBA 2K23.

These women wanted to perform a get-rich-quick scheme operation which is illegal under the law.

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 912 & BENKYO RADIO 912. While in NYC to celebrate our 1-yr wedding anniversary, my wife and I got to witness Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on Broadway. It was a great play with lots of production, magical special effects, and more. Highly recommended. There were a lot of children in the crowd, and they look like they had a ton of fun. All the parents had access to all kind of wild themed Harry Potter cocktails, and I enjoyed a nice glass of cold-brewed coffee. Great job to the entire staff! I walked away with a Harry Potter hoodie, always wanted to own one. As some of you remember, I used to be a Bookseller at Barnes & Noble, during the Midnight Sales of the Harry Potter Novels. I think I’ve done it for almost every single original book in the series. “The Magic of Reading” as I like to say. You already know what’s next in the near future: Hogwarts Legacy on Playstation 5!

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 911 & BENKYO RADIO 911. Have you watched the movie “Boite Noire?” It’s about a plane crash where the black box was modified, and Israel NSO Pegasus Malware/Spyware was involved. As some people know in the (Beyond) Top-Secret Report of the 9/11 Commission Report, the Black Box was modified. Indeed, MOSSAD agents were part of that terrorist act (it was a get-rich money scheme for the Military-Industrial-Complex and Dick Cheney was the Architect). This is why Intel Corporation CANNOT in good conscience build a $25 Billion chip manufacturing plant in Israel, because if they do, then truly, the world is controlled by Jews, and Netanyahu is an Illuminati.
