What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 921 & BENKYO RADIO 921. Here’s an important message from MGS V, it’s a secret hidden cutscene about the Last Nuke / Nuclear Disarmament. With the release of OPPENHEIMER in the theaters, it’s important to remind people in power the immense danger in these weapons, and that they should never be used again. Yes, the United States of America has these weapons (the SR-72 Darkstar), and so does Russia, but to begin a battle utilizing these things would start M.A.D, also known as Mutually Assured Destruction, something nobody on the globe wants. Please be mindful, and if you can, renew your subscription to the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists. #NuclearDeterrence #NuclearDisarmament

Until Next Time!

I want an all-expense paid 2-weeks trip to Columbus, Ohio. Flight, Hotel, Rental Car. I miss my old University and I want to attend a concert. I have not been back near OSU in 12 years.

By the way, JLR 918 is one of my favorite podcasts and playlists, so be sure to listen, lots of French Rap on it, which you can find on recent episodes of OMEGA RADIO. As always, join the fun and listen to SKYROCK FM RADIO and grab a RedBull if you speak French. It’s so nice to hear Juvenile (the rapper)’s voice on NPR. Gives you goosebumps, and nostalgia from High School. Can’t wait for that music label for a reunion double disc album, kinda of like WU-TANG FOREVER. Maybe they could do a CASH MONEY FOREVER, or HOTBOYZ FOREVER. Something like that. I hope the petition to get B.G. out of prison is going steadly.

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.

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!

Until Next Time!
