As Seen on Japanese TV!
Remember how I said I’d be updating this place with what’s been going on? Well here it is.
This past April and May I visited Japan and Korea. Now I have a lot to say about both but this post isn’t about the whole trip, just the most crucial part of the trip in my opinion; getting on Japanese Television!
We were in Hiroshima visiting the memorial and heading over to Miyajima. Okay enough about the boring trip. We were walking around the Memorial Park when we were approached by a group of people asking us if we were planning on having or have had any Hiroshima delicacies. We let them know we were planning on having Okonomiyaki, which is a savory pancake with good stuff.
They loved that answer and asked to interview of us for the cameras and if you know anything about me, I like the camera. So the interview starts and the gentleman points to the microphone and says, “Big mic” to which I reply, “I’m Big Mike” and then CJ clarifies with, “His name is Mike”. This causes the host and the three guests on the show to have their minds blown finding out someone can be named after a microphone.
They go onto ask us and we answer (I answer) about LA and the type of Japanese food we have in the US. I let them know about our Japantowns and that it’s not common to see Okonomiyaki here and when you do, you have to pay NINETEEN DOLLARS. They really made sure to play that audio loud in the video. They asked us a few more questions that didn’t air for whatever reasons (I talked too much about my bowels and convenience store food).
We then had to go record some clips of us ordering the food, presenting the food, and then eating the food. Once we agreed to the previous mentioned homework, they had us sign some paperwork. We asked if this was for a YouTube channel to which we found out this going to be on National Japanese TV and airing on May 21st at around 8:30am.
You may ask yourself why did l list the exact date and time? Well that’s because they didn’t lie. It aired on that date and at around that time. We got back to America, found a very cool and VERY legal stream of Nippon TV and watched it around 4:30pm. If you don’t believe me or just want to watch it then look no further than below!
I Got Nothing Going On
It’s been awhile everyone. Life has been quite the trip lately but all in all, mostly positive stuff. I’ll be making updates here shortly sharing what I’ve been up to, what is expected to come soon, and my very expert opinions on everything.
To be fair, I’ve done a disservice to this site. This will no longer be the case. Okay well I need to go pee now.

MY BEST FRIEND ERIC IS IN ANTIFA
Alright alright alright I’ll be honest. Eric is not my best friend and he probably isn’t in ANTIFA but this the Internet and I can play FOX News too Mr. Murdoch!
What got me thinking Eric is in ANTIFA? Nothing really. I just have a hunch but I have no evidence or a source that could verify this for me. What could I do?
So I took a play out of the FOX News Reporting Playbook and just ran with it anyway because what are consequences am I right?
I had to reach out to someone close to Eric.
No, not his family - someone who speaks ENGLISH.
I had reached out to a longtime pal of Eric. I was tense and nervous and I couldn’t relax. Shortly afterwards, I had my reply. I couldn’t believe what was shared with me.
Oh whoops sorry I got a little excited. Let me try this again so you can see Jake Pajor’s - I mean my verified source, Imhard Ganj’s confirmation.
There you have it! Mr. Imhard Ganj was able to confirm without hesitation that Eric is indeed in ANTIFA.
Will this the mean the end of ANTIFA and Eric? I don’t know. Is there any truth in this post? Maybe. Did I giveaway Jake’s identity as the leaker? No (Yes).
How to Get Racial Inequality Addressed (in my honest white-ass opinion)
This year we saw protests break out across the country in regards to the wrongful deaths of Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and unfortunately many more. Peaceful protestors took to the streets during a one in a lifetime pandemic to voice their beliefs that enough is enough.
We had our corporate overlords pull ads from Facebook to protest the spread of hate speech which is so cool and very“woke” of Proctor and Gamble to do that. Can’t wait to buy some Old Spice and tell my cashier, “I’m making a difference!”. We had people posting blackouts on Instagram or disconnecting from Instagram which didn’t combat anything. I still see your stupid avocado toast and drinking problems.
But one form of protest was in my opinion, the most effective. On August 26th, the Milwaukee Bucks were scheduled to play the Orlando Magic. Instead of playing, the Bucks Players did not come out to play in protest of the recent shooting of Jacob Blake. It was something new the media was talking about and watching more than you rewatching The Office for the 12th time this year. It’s okay to admit it now!
Headlines ran wondering when the players would come back and speculation grew if this would put other sports in jeopardy. Other sports, athletes, and public figures joined in support of the NBA players. They even had Barack Obama reach out and provide some advice on how to get their message across. Barack Obama! Did Barack Obama curate your BLM post? Didn’t think so! Eventually, the players returned back to play and to finish out the 2019-2020 season. But I believe there is potential for this being a prime catalyst for change.
Let’s step back and look at the make up of the NFL, NBA, and MLB and their revenue recently. I’ll consider these the top three sports Americans are able to understand and pay attention to. Sorry soccer you only matter when the US in the World Cup.
The NFL is made up of around 70% of black players. The NFL also brought in over 15 billion dollars in 2019. The NBA is made up of around 80-81% of black players. The NBA brought in over 8 billion dollars in the 2018-2019 season. The MLB is made up around 8% of black players and the MLB brought in 10.7 billion dollars in 2019. Do you see where I am going with this? No? Okay let’s keep going.
According to Statista, around 64% of Americans are sports fans. These people help drive the revenue by watching the games, buying the jerseys, going to the games, spending at the games, and much more. Still nothing? Okay.
These players help bring in this money each year by putting their bodies and minds on the line to deliver the highest level of competition in the world for our entertainment. They’re cheered on by their fans but the minute one of them speaks up, they are told to “shut up and dribble” or “STAND FOR THE FLAG”. These players receive insults, racial slurs, and death threats from those very same “supportive” fans. This is the plan to not only be heard but to hurt the pocket books of wealthy owners and corporations. Oh and also their racist fans.
Yes I am aware this can hurt some players who are not financially as well off as other players. This would be a cohort effort that individuals would help each other, realize money is not a necessary right now, and this is a sacrifice that is needed to be made in order for a better tomorrow and for sports to eventually return.
Anyway, the plan (in a most ideal world)
Right now - the NBA has wrapped up and is expected to start sometime in early 2021. I’ll say it’ll start some time in February or beginning of March. Let’s say that. We have the NFL still going strong while COVID runs through the teams. Barring a bigger than expected second wave, I see the NFL going the distance and the Super Bowl being “played” in February. Now you get it huh?
The Super Bowl is slated for February 7th, 2021. This is the first day of the protest. Why? It’s because it’s basically a holiday at this point in America. It was estimated that 17 million people would take off the Monday after Super Bowl 53. Companies paid over 5 million dollars to run 30 second videos. I can go on and on about just how much money is spent and made off of the Super Bowl and the impact it has. Well let’s see the impact WITHOUT the Super Bowl.
Ideally, the pregame festivities would happen, there would be no murmurs of a protest from the Seahawks or Chiefs. That’s right those are my Super Bowl picks. They are both led by two prominent black QBs that are considered the best of the league who have been vocal on racial inequality. Granted they don’t have to be the spokespersons of the game’s protest but they would have the biggest impact. Like I said, the festivities would happen but what would happen is that the teams come out, stand/kneel for the Anthem. After the National Anthem, both teams would head back into one locker room together. From there, they refuse to come out and announce they are in protest of the game until racial inequality is finally addressed in this nation. A statement is made from the locker room from whomever wants to speak.
Imagine those headlines! Companies pissed they spent all that money; the money they are going to lose to lost ad revenue and sales from those ads. Owners shitting themselves that it will spill over to their team and players will begin to support the Chiefs and Seahawks players. Mass Hysteria would hit racist NFL fans calling for the heads of protesting players thus revealing their true colors again (is it that red with the stupid four letters?). Those 17 million people actually going to work on Monday - the horror! All eyes would be glued to when the Super Bowl will be played. Here’s the thing - it won’t. Players refuse until there is a satisfactory plan that is put in place. Remember point 1 about the NBA starting? Well that’s not happening either.
As the NFL was supposed to end on a big bang with the Super Bowl, the NBA was supposed to pick up in February and carry sports fans until the NFL was back on in the fall. Not this time. The NBA players commit early on and announce they will not start the season. Now there’s no basketball and LeBron isn’t going to just “shut up and dribble”. But then there’s the MLB.
As mentioned before, the MLB only has about 8% players that are black. This is where it gets more difficult and we would have to see if Latino players would join in on this solidarity movement. Essentially, we are banking on the pressure of the NFL and NBA not playing to apply onto the MLB players and have them not play or at least delay their season. Maybe this won’t work because the MLB players decline or they do protest alongside but instead we make baseball popular again and not just a thing where you go to the early game for an excuse to start drinking early. It’s a risk still worth taking.
If all is executed effectively, the protest has the ability to hurt the rich’s pockets by the hundreds and millions of dollars and let people know we need to take racial inequality seriously. I understand this can hurt others financially that rely on jobs that are a part of the sports entertainment sector but how else are we supposed to actually the hit the pocket books of the ultra wealthy and get the attention of virtually all Americans? It’s sad that it has to take sports being stopped in order for it to happen but if that’s what it takes, then it must be done.
Thanks for reading this. I know it isn’t as dumb as some of my other articles but it’s something I’ve been thinking about for awhile. And if you think it is dumb -great! I’m doing my job.
HEY BAD BOI
Hey Bad Boi! You may heard this been hurled at you from me. But what is a bad boi? What does it take to be a bad boi? Well worry no longer!
First off back in the day to be a bad boi you would have to join the 80s Detroit Pistons, be either Martin Lawrence or Will Smith, or join P Diddy’s Bad Boy Records. None of these things are possible now and to be honest, you don’t wanna be associated with those kind of people, you know people of the past.
“Why are you spelling it boi instead of boy?” Great question! The reason boy is spelled with an “i” is because we are gender neutral. Anyone can be a bad boi! You don’t have to have more testosterone than estrogen pumping through you or eat Hungry Man meals, just be yourself.
Us Bad Boiz - “wait there’s a z instead of an s?”
Yes there is, don’t question it, it just looks better.
As I was saying, us Bad Boiz take three tenets of Bad Boizism seriously that we live by and that is:
Being helpful
Eye contact
A finger point of acknowledgement
These three tenets make up what a Bad Boi is and what it takes to be a Bad Boi. To become a Bad Boi is simple. All that needs to happen is that a Bad Boi needs to witness you completing these three tenets at some point in time, preferably within a 90 day window. Once they have been noticed and relayed to me, you will be sworn in as a bad boi. To be sworn in you will need to recite the Bad Boiz song (to be released on SoundCloud soon).
“Hey hey hey
Where’d all the Bad Boiz go?
I wonder which town there in?
I wonder if I should go?”
And congrats! You are now a Bad Boi! Whenever meeting another Bad Boi in life, you will greet and bid farewell in a certain way. To greet you’ll always want to open with eye contact, a finger of point of acknowledgement, and say “Hey Bad Boi” At this point the fellow Bad Boi will answer back with “Hey Bad Boi”. You can now have your very Bad Boi like conversation. Once you are both with satisfied with the conversation, you will bad farewell with eye contact, a finger point of acknowledgement, and say “Thanks Bad Boi and remember… You’re a Bad Boi!”
If you’re interested in learning more or you’re not, let me know! Thanks Bad Boi and remember… You’re a Bad Boi!
TESLA MONEY
Tesla Money. What is it? What is it for? And how can I get it? This article will delve into answering all your questions about Tesla Money.
Everyone loves Tesla. It’s fun to say - Tesla, Tesla, Tesla! Tesla is becoming a commodity in the rap game and whenever that happens, you gotta cash in on the opportunity. Not only that but with the current economic climate and money printer at the Fed going “BRRRR” 24/7, Tesla Money is a perfect place to fight hyperinflation, deflagnation, stagnation - all those ations!
Tesla Money came about a desire to get that “Tesla Money” in order to buy a Tesla. However, as a millennial with plenty of student debt and speaking for most millennials, we can’t afford “Tesla Money”. That was until now. I did my best Steve Jobs impression, created the vision, and like a good American visionary, I outsourced my work to Pakistan. About 72 hours and 12 dollars later a nice Pakistani man created my vision of Tesla Money.
The Tesla Money features the prominent 420 numbering highlighting when Elon Musk tweeted “am considering taking Tesla private at 420. funding secured.”. The S 3 X Y highlights Elon’s ultra cool guy humor of spelling sexy with his car lineup. Finally, we have Elon’s portrait dead center capturing when he not only got lit but also when he lit the stock price.
