What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 614 & BENKYO RADIO 614.

614 is the area code for the city of Columbus, Ohio. That is my Alma Mater where I attended THE Ohio State University. I had a lot of memories there. Some were good, and some were bad. But here’s what you must remember, even when things were bad, and I took a summer off in Los Angeles, ultimately, it was important to return and finish Senior Year. Getting all your credits matters. Graduating matters. The thing about college is, a lot of people tell you a college degree does not matter, but somehow someway, no matter where you go or which institution you try to get in (corporate, government, etc), they will ask about that stupid piece of paper, whether or not you got a Bachelor’s Degree. I can assure you, that if it was not for my college education, I would not be where I am today. The experiences you will have in college cannot be replicated anywhere else. Also, what you should know is that, if you are attending a Community College during your Freshman and Sophomore years, it’s not the end of the world. It’s cheaper to transfer Sophomore or Junior year. When you an Alumnus of OSU, you can say you went to one of the best schools in the entire country. At OSU, I got to go to electronic dance music concerts almost weekly off campus. I got to study in 24/7 libraries (Do you have any idea how amazing it is to have a library open 24/7?) There’s just something about the OSU campus that can’t be described anywhere else. If I didn’t have to pay out-of-state tuition, I’d probably try to complete a Master’s Degree, a PhD at OSU, or gather another certificate from such a fine institution. If you live in Ohio, and you’re deciding on a college, go to OSU. You’ll have an unforgettable experience. Not to mention, if you’re a Class of 2026, you get to graduate by enjoying the summer watching THE UNITED STATES MEN’S FOOTBALL (SOCCER) TEAM PLAY THE WORLD CUP AT HOME, and with a local team (Columbus Crew) as wild as they are, you are sure to have a good time all throughout the city. Anyway, Go Bucks!

Until Next Time!

What a piss-poor performance by Manchester United against Brentford. It’s okay because the last time I was humiliated, I rebuilt myself to the point where now I’m an advisor from which 17 different American Intelligence Agencies fight about (except DIA, I hate those guys, they keep kidnapping every tech recruiter who wants to hire me, which is against the law). You want to humiliate the Red Devils? You want them to be last on the EPL table? Okay. Just don’t complain when we are out to destroy the competition for the rest of the season. If the Glazers do not sell the club to new buyers as soon as possible, I’m afraid Alex Ferguson will have a heart attack. Don’t jeopardize the most important club in the history of the English Premier League. The manager Erik ten Hag must resolve the situation immediately, or it’s time for an emergency meeting and bring Zinedine Zidane as Coach. Let’s not forget that ETH won six trophies as Ajax in the Eredivisie.

It appears that Donald J. Trump has finally collapsed on itself like a neutron star. It took some time, but it was time for the FBI to go in full force against this psychopath. He stole nuclear secrets, He’s fucking crazy. I can finally relax a bit more and wait for the upcoming release of FL Studio 21, and enjoy some Gran Turismo 7 while I eat some sunflower seeds. In the meantime, I am still perusing Indeed.com and various other job boards, looking for a Project Manager day-job. I’m doing my best to get my disability paper approved ASAP (Bipolar disorder and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome) ASAP so that it becomes a federal crime for these companies to ignore my job applications. Now you understand why I miss France so much. If I was in France, I’d receive a disability check at age 18 no questions asked, it’d be immediately approved. This check would be on top of a paycheck. America’s healthcare system is such a fucking joke. Now you know why Bernie Sanders looks like he wants to eat a GOP republican with his hands while he eats a sandwich. I’m so fucking pissed and I’m in my late 30s. Bernie Sanders is 80 years old and he’s been preaching for 40 fucking years. Everybody has Medicare For All, all those first-world countries. Except for the USA. This is embarrassing.

By the way, real Christians don’t follow Trump and his death cult. So if you want to thank Jesus, go talk to a Democrat. Jesus, truly is, the ultimate Undercover Boss.

Many of my republican friends are in total disarray. It’s okay. You can support Pence. He was being threatened by Trump and his mob. Now Pence can breathe easily. Trump will likely go to jail.

Man, they really need to reboot Little Mosque on the Prairie. What a great show. Too bad it only had 6 seasons.

There are no new news on the upcoming X-files reboot as of now, but it is still on its way.

I’ve tried JUST Water, which is a brand of still spring water in plant-based carton, and it’s great for the environment apparently. Highly recommended.

Sorry I was delayed on my new avatars, I needed more funds. Anyway, the next one coming soon will be Mugen from Samurai Champloo. As fans of the anime know, Mugen and his nemesis Jin fight together to protect Fuu, a woman who got kidnapped and got stuck in a Brothel. They help her escape. She tells them she is looking for the Samurai who smells of sunflowers. Anyway, it’s an excellent anime and it’s got an amazing soundtrack.

Until Next Time!

A cup of Coffee can really make all the difference in the world. Whether happy, sad, anxious, upset, mesmerized, stupefied, bewildered, and whatever other adjectives you want to throw in there, sometimes, you just really need a cup of Coffee.

As always, this is your friendly reminder to lock away your medications and trust no one. Many teenagers and pre-teens are susceptible to try to get high from your medications. Trust no one, even your own children. You should install a failsafe. You shouldn’t go as far as installing a bomb if the wrong person opens your medical cabinet, but your security should be very strong. Hide your medication, and keep them to yourselves. Explain to them that if they touch your meds, they will go to juvenile court, or jail. They are prescription medications for a reason. There is a Rise in Prescription Drug Misuse and Abuse Impacting Teens according to SAMHSA.

Check out Sherlock Holmes: The Devil’s Daughter, available on Steam and Playstation 4.
