What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 208 & BENKYO RADIO 208. Now, I understand there’s going to be many rallies about how our lives are completely turned upside-down because of the Trump administration, but remember this, NOTHING WILL MATTER IF YOU DO NOT VOTE. You have to vote. We have to beat the Electoral College. You need to show enthusiasm. Put some spirit into it! That means a Biden sticker, or a Yard sign, or a coffee mug. If you can allocate time, please help the phone banking to call all those swing-states, who as you know, are sometimes too lazy to vote. I know, because 4 years ago, I was at Hillary Clinton’s local office making phone calls for the election, and many people who talked to us, did not see the point in voting. Well, in 2020, I think everybody knows the importance of voting for Biden. Society as we know it might crumble if we let Trump for 4 more years.

I want to congratulate Toyota on their 24 Hours of Le Mans 2020 win.

Don’t forget to mask-up, use social-distancing, use hand-sanitizer. Due to folks not following instructions, we might be stuck with this virus until 2022. This is unfortunate. If everybody used masks, this COVID-19 could be contained within 4-6 weeks.

For Batman Day, I went to grab coffee at Dutch Bros. I love coffee, and what better place than get it at Dutch Bros, since most of my favorite DJs are Dutch. Only a few more weeks until Amsterdam Dance Event Pro 2020!!!

Less than 42 days left until this nightmare is over! Vote Biden/Harris 2020!

Until next time!
