What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 649 & BENKYO RADIO 649. Now, I know not all of you have Apple+, but there is a new show called BAD SISTERS, it’s about a group of women who kill their brother-in-law to collect the insurance money. The women are in jail and investigated by the police. Watch out fellas! Especially Ballers! I’m behind a few seasons of Ballers on HBO, I better catch up.

I am very excited about the announcement of Project ORION, the codename for the sequel to CYBERPUNK 2077. Now, don’t forget, we still have the new patch available now and the DLC in 2023. I presume you’ve watched EDGERUNNERS by now on Netflix. It was a great series, but I was incredibly upset by its ending. I hope that the DVD/BLURAY release comes out with an Alternate Ending, as it should.

Until Next Time!

Trump paying a $3 million lawyer retainer fee — maybe the biggest he's ever paid — shows he knows how much legal trouble he's in, NYT reporter says. Beer for Mueller!

I wanted to raise awareness on a subject overlooked since the beginning of COVID in March 2020. That topic is the lack of understanding about the increased levels of kidney stones by tens of thousands of individuals in various organizations. It is of extreme importance that more and more places offer public restrooms. People need to avoid having kidney stones. It’s simply not healthy. The purpose of this conversation is quite simple. A man in uniform and gear can easily pee standing up, alas, a woman cannot just pee or take a shit just about anywhere, I mean, do you know how hard it is to get out of these clothes when you’re wearing a full gear? I’d like to inform TechCrunch for the creation of a new startup, and they don’t have to wait until the next TechCrunch Disrupt. It could be the next Uber. That is, a facility that has just a shower/bathroom. That’s it. I think they have those in Japan. After it is used, maybe a robot could clean the facility. It needs to have a design that is mass produced on a nation-wide or world-wide scale. People need to shower. People need to take a piss. People need to take a shit. If you have the means to create such startup, get right to work. Thank you.

Until Next Time!
