What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 288 & BENKYO RADIO 288.

I am extremely pleased with what Elon Musk said when he started SNL, he said he is the first host who has Asperger’s Syndrome (remember, not all Asperger’s Syndrome people are dicks like Mark Zuckerberg). Now I have a few things to say about the SNL evening. First of all, Elon redeemed himself. He is no longer in a Lex Luthor mode, but returned to his Iron Man persona. Here’s what you must understand, “The Dogefather” sketch, which was supposed to be amazing and exceed all expectations, was ridiculed, and this was not by mistake. SNL takes place in New York, the heartland of the Mafia of Wall Street. The writers could have EASILY wrote something AMAZING for that sketch, and they did not. Elon Musk was like “fuck this!” stayed polite and a few days later, he announced that he is sending a FUCKING SPACE ROCKET TO THE MOON PAID FOR WITH DOGECOIN. He is taking Dogecoin to the moon. This is crucial. Don’t be upset about your 20-30% dip of Dogecoin. In the long run, as many of us know, Dogecoin will be extremely valuable. I tip my hat to Elon for this move, because goddamn, that is impressive. I’m still upset that he doesn’t pay enough taxes, but it’s good because Biden gave him and other rich people an ultimatum, either pay higher taxes, or invest in Infrastructure.

Until next time!
