What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 203 & BENKYO RADIO 203. I’ve also included LAMBDA/QUANTUM/GT/TECHNO RADIO 039.

We have a very hot weekend on our hands, so please listen to officials about how to prevent power outages. I am very excited that more DJs are making ambient / LoFi music (looking forward to listen to Diplo’s new release). I finished Coffee Talk. It is an EXCELLENT game. I can’t emphasize how awesome it was. What you need to understand is that many of us understand the importance of therapy, and we do go to it, but even that is only a 30-45min session once in a while and it’s costly. This Coffee Talk less than $20 game was the most therapeutic experience I have had in the longest time. I cannot describe how much helpful it has been to my mental health, especially since many indoor seating in coffee shops are closed. The conversations, the music, and just drinking a hot cup of coffee made a wonderful combination. I’m not only directing this to women.. Men, as much as we love to pump our chests and act tough and all this and that, I think I speak for all of us that during this Coronavirus crisis, you’ve probably wanted to punch a hole in the wall. Well, trust me, play “Coffee Talk” and you will chill the f out. This game was so mellow and calm and helpful, I highly recommend it. I don’t just want a sequel, I want the next 10 iterations.

As I use my highlighter in my Foreign Affairs magazine, I am feeling a bit more cheerful than less than two months are left until we can finally vote and elect the 46th President of these United States, Joe Biden. He’s gonna do it. He has a huge team on stand-by, and we are ready to go and clean this godforsaken mess that Trump has left us. A pandemic without proper course of action, and a recession. We will wake up from this nightmare, but we cannot lose hope. Stay cheerful. There are Buddhist monks who can stay under a freezing waterfall for hours. I ask you to please stay strong for less than 2 more months. We vote, we bring Joe Biden in January 2021, and the recovery begins. Let’s get this done. Let’s save America. She is worth it.

I watched TENET and it was an excellent movie, highly recommended. The soundtrack is very good too.

NBA 2K21 is out! So is the new Avengers game! Even the new Tony Skater remastered is released!

Have a safe Labor Day Weekend!

Until next time!
