What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 985 & BENKYO RADIO 985. I am extremely happy about Stade Rennais aka SRFC’s performance in the Europa League. My hope is that they win that trophy and return next year in the UCL (Champions League). Regardless, I now have their matches on DVR on TV, therefore, I would love for them to win la Ligue 1. Allez les Rouge et Noir! I tend to have Manchester United on FIFA 23, but after they came during their Summer League U.S. Tour to play against Wrexham United, not a SINGLE major player came on the field. As someone who has never been able to afford a flight to England to watch the Red Devils, I was devastated. Especially since I never got to physically witness CR7 in a red shirt in real-life. Therefore, when I play EA FC 24, I believe I will play a season with Stade Rennais. 1985 is the year I arrived in France, and a place I will cherish forever. I hope I can someday have the luxury to find a PAYING salary job that lets me afford to fly there on a regular basis. Waiting 9 years just to spend 2-3 days there is simply not enough. I need to get hired by #LaFrenchTech, and commute between USA and France. Let’s make it happen. I want to fly there 6 times a year at the very least. I just miss the french culture. In America, if you complain “too much,” you’re considered a narcissist. In France, if you complain, there’s no such thing, EVERYBODY IS COMPLAINING, it’s a regular thing that happens every day. Everybody gets their cup of coffee and chit-chat. It’s in the culture. I refuse to be called an asshole and a snob, when all I’m doing is trying to have a conversation and say, look some shit piss me off, I’m gonna talk about it. The Trump TV show charade never seems to go away, I’m tired of the bullshit, we have bigger problems. There’s the Ukraine war, and the rise of the extreme-right in France. The 2027 French Presidential Elections are not that far away. President Macron is going to snap, if he has to spend the next 3 fucking years dealing with all these things. It’s time for Segolene Royal and Bruno LeMaire to make sure they are both out there, and definitely end up on the 2nd round of elections. If France deals with the Right and Extreme-Right as a choice for presidency, something that has happened for the last 20 fucking years, everybody is going to call for the guillotine.

Until Next Time!
