Have you seen the movie where a guy kicks a dog, and then everyone cheers when the guy gets run over? That is a good example of our current administration and Saudi Arabia. Biden kicks them in the bum, and now the rest of the world is cheering for Biden to get run over.
Watch as 2 industry experts and a want-to-be comedian tag along for the energy ride. We talk about OPEC and why they are in the right.
After this podcast was taped, the story broke that the Biden Administration asked the Saudis not to drop the production till after the election. Wow, what people won’t do to get elected.
RT Trevino, E&P owner, David Blackmon, Forbes Author, and Stu Turley. Well, we are not sure what Stu does, but we all have a blast kicking energy around.

Stuart Turley: [00:00:09] All right. Hey, not only is today, Friday, we got a target rich environment for conversation in the bar. Have you ever had an uncle come around and a family reunion and start saying these words. [00:00:23][14.5]
Stuart Turley: [00:00:24] Three guys walk into a bar and everybody burst out laughing or they crawl under the desk because they know a absolute joke is coming around the corner. Guess what this is? Welcome to three podcasters walk into a bar. My name is Stuart Turley, president and CEO of the Sandstone Group, and I’ve got the Energy News Beat Podcast and I learn a lot from it. [00:00:48][23.6]
Stuart Turley: [00:00:49] But I’m not worthy to hang with our two my two compadres right here we are first out of the block, we got R.T. Turkey, You are the podcast host for that Crude Truth and I want to give you a shout out. I don’t like compliment you, but you had one that had in the first 12 hours or whatever it is, you had a thousand views on YouTube, unbelievable access on thecrudetruth.com. And it was Ola, was that right? [00:01:18][29.2]
Rey Trevino: [00:01:19] Yes. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. [00:01:21][2.2]
Stuart Turley: [00:01:22] Oh, that was sweet. Nice job. All right. Coming around the corner again. And you know, we got David Blackmon. [00:01:30][8.8]
Rey Trevino: [00:01:31] Reed, David, buddy, David Blackmon. [00:01:33][1.8]
Stuart Turley: [00:01:34] I mean, he has got to podcast, not just one. He’s got two. And I mean, Armando and Irenaeus are fantastic in the Energy Transition International. Well done. Forbes Out there. And you also have DB Energy. You have the energy. Question Welcome, guys. We’re going to have a blast today. Did I get everything right? [00:01:59][25.4]
David Blackmon: [00:02:00] Yeah, I think you did. Absolutely. [00:02:01][1.5]
Rey Trevino: [00:02:02] Absolutely. [00:02:02][0.0]
Stuart Turley: [00:02:03] I would break my arm. I don’t. [00:02:05][1.8]
David Blackmon: [00:02:05] Know how you manage. [00:02:06][0.5]
Stuart Turley: [00:02:06] To do that, and I don’t either. I got two experts here and then a wannabe comedian. [00:02:12][5.8]
Rey Trevino: [00:02:14] I think we can I think we could definitely argue on who the two experts are, the comedians. So. [00:02:20][6.5]
Stuart Turley: [00:02:21] Yeah, I’m the dope in the room. [00:02:23][1.7]
David Blackmon: [00:02:23] Yeah, I don’t qualify either way. So I don’t know what you are talking about. [00:02:26][3.0]
Stuart Turley: [00:02:27] Okay, we got it. We got one of the best single target rich environment for not only doubling down on stupid. We did tripling down on stupid last week, but, guys, we got to sit here and put our measly brains together and come up with something more than triple down and stupid. So, I mean, you guys energy absurd to the day, but I’m going to turn this over to you, Artie. Let’s kick it off with some real absurdity here. [00:02:58][31.3]
Rey Trevino: [00:02:59] Well, you know, let’s let’s kick it off this way that I just got done with a little radio interview because everybody’s wanting to know about this 2 million barrels a day that OPEC is now taking off of the market that they’re going to stop producing. And I said, Hey, thanks for the phone call, but I’m getting ready to work with and do an emergency recording of three podcasters walk into a bar. [00:03:23][24.0]
Rey Trevino: [00:03:24] This is such a big deal right now, and they’re like, You’re going to the bar. I said, Well, look, we got to get our thinking on. So yeah, I said, We got to get this going and it’s very important. I mean, this a 2 million barrels a day that OPEC’s taking off the up. The market is not a good thing. Along with unfortunately, the need that’s been created for this million barrels of oil a day that we’re now going to finally stop taking out of the strategic reserve. [00:03:52][28.6]
Rey Trevino: [00:03:53] Did that sound confusing? Absolutely, because we shouldn’t have been taking out of the strategic reserve in the first place. And now we’ve created a need for it, just like with all the welfare state type of stuff that we have for this country. [00:04:07][13.8]
Rey Trevino: [00:04:08] So where now it’s almost going to be shooting ourselves in the foot, kind of like doing so many professions today. Again, it’s it’s just ridiculous. And now, David, here we are asking Venezuela for. Yeah, I mean, I’m all for Chevron to drill. I mean, I’m a producer. If somebody was asking me to do it, I know I could definitely go, Hey, I need to give more oil to America. This is the best way to do it right now. [00:04:33][24.8]
Stuart Turley: [00:04:34] I’m a I’m an actor. Oh, you’re on a roll. This is Granholm again. I don’t have my Granholm glasses, but she just pulled a Dick Cheney, and so did Biden and shot us in the foot. So anyway, sorry, Dick Cheney should be remembered for shooting as is partner. We’ve been shot. Sorry. [00:04:54][20.6]
Rey Trevino: [00:04:56] Yeah, we have it. So. Long story short, you know, David, here we are now asking Venezuela for war. And in your article that you did today in Forbes. [00:05:07][10.9]
David Blackmon: [00:05:07] Famous self-promotion here. [00:05:09][1.3]
Rey Trevino: [00:05:09] No, no, no. It’s not needless or I’ve already sent it out. The retweeted I I’ve made sure that it’s seen on the move. I mean, it’s a good one. That’s what we’re talking about. I feel like the whole episode today. So let’s go. [00:05:23][13.6]
David Blackmon: [00:05:23] Yeah, Well, yeah, that was my latest piece of Forbes.com. Just for everyone who knows who would like to go take a look at it. You know, the administration, again, for the second time in six months, is is trying to work a deal with Venezuela to allow them to put more oil on the market with the only demand the U.S. is making that the Maduro government engage in good faith talks with the political opposition there in Venezuela or what they call constructive talks. And you know, how this administration defines the word constructive is, frankly, anyone’s guess. I don’t have any idea. But it just points up the. [00:06:13][50.0]
Stuart Turley: [00:06:15] I’m holding my breath. Oh. Oh, sorry. [00:06:19][3.7]
David Blackmon: [00:06:19] It just. [00:06:19][0.2]
Stuart Turley: [00:06:20] I couldn’t hold my breath any longer. [00:06:22][1.3]
David Blackmon: [00:06:22] Re-emphasize is the fact that this administration, you know, wants more oil, but they want it from any country other than the United States. And, you know, they they don’t. None of the media reporting I saw this morning even mentions the fact that Russia controls about 40% of the oil production in Venezuela today. Russia does. And China has made very significant business deals with the Maduro government. [00:06:51][28.6]
David Blackmon: [00:06:52] And so if we’re getting oil from Venezuela, we’re really getting oil from Russia and China. And we’re supposedly, I guess, in a war with Russia. Right. A proxy war anyway. And so it’s just it’s just absurd and irrational. And, you know, it’s just very counterproductive for for our domestic industry and our economy here in the United States. [00:07:15][23.3]
Stuart Turley: [00:07:16] David, how does all of this play in play into some I believe some of your other articles or Irene is really play into Saudi Arabia in BRICS, Saudi Arabia, Russia, China, and I believe another one. And they’re bringing in probably eight other countries to move oil away from the dollar. This is another example. And how do you think all that’s going to play in together? Because this is an affront again, to the whole thing. [00:07:49][33.0]
David Blackmon: [00:07:51] Yeah, well, I don’t I don’t understand it. I don’t know the reasons behind why this administration is doing this. But really, every interaction the Biden administration has had with Saudi Arabia has apparently been designed to push Saudi Arabia more into the China and Russia orbit. And Saudi Arabia has been making noises recently about wanting to join the BRICS alliance, which is currently Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa. So now you can add another ass on the end of it whenever Saudi joins. [00:08:26][35.9]
David Blackmon: [00:08:28] And that just is going to mean the United States will have far less influence and standing in it, not just in Saudi Arabia but anywhere in the Middle East and much less ability to influence policy actions taken by OPEC and OPEC plus and it just it all seems so counterproductive on the surface. And and no one in the Biden administration really ever bothers to make any effort at all to explain the rationale behind the things they’re doing. [00:09:02][34.7]
David Blackmon: [00:09:03] And it just it is just as very it increases uncertainty here in the United States. Anyone trying to do a whole business in the United States, it just reduces your ability to have any certainty around what the future is going to look like for your business plans. And that inhibits investment and, you know, inhibits jobs and everything else here in our economy. So it’s all very counterproductive for our for our U.S. interests. [00:09:31][28.5]
Rey Trevino: [00:09:35] Bravo. I mean. [00:09:36][1.0]
David Blackmon: [00:09:36] I guess I’m just depressed everybody now. [00:09:38][1.6]
Rey Trevino: [00:09:39] No, no, no. You didn’t impress you, did you? Impress everybody? You’re absolutely right. From the lack of jobs in America right now to the non investments that are going on. And I want to come back to those two here in a second. [00:09:52][13.4]
Rey Trevino: [00:09:52] But, you know, yesterday, as all this was really coming down and it news coming down on Wednesday as well. Let’s talk about this 2 million barrels that the Middle East is going to be not producing anymore. It’s really a fact that they’re under producing right now, They are if I’m correct, low about 500,000 barrels a day. They’re not hitting the quota that they need to be hitting every day. [00:10:21][28.5]
Rey Trevino: [00:10:22] So by them dropping the production estimated gold production every day, then they’ll finally get into that actual quota that they’re getting. And the market is now dictating that since they’re not already producing this more oil, that the price is going to go up, which is what they want. [00:10:41][19.4]
Rey Trevino: [00:10:43] And why is it that they’re not hitting this 500,000 barrels of oil a day addition? Is it are they being greedy? Have they pulled back? Have they done that? No, they are actually in the same boat that take those countries operating, that Chevron, that Exxon, that all of us are in, that we do not have the investment dollars needed to drill and produce the oil that we need for today and tomorrow. [00:11:12][29.1]
Rey Trevino: [00:11:13] All that money has gone to the green energy subsidy. Oil companies that are ten, 20, 50 years out from providing everyday, sustainable, bountiful and inexpensive energy right now we need to shameless plug. We need to be investing in oil and gas here in America, not only for great returns that people get from those type of investments. Shameless plug right there. [00:11:42][29.3]
Rey Trevino: [00:11:43] But do you know how many more American jobs that you would be helping employ? You know, Dr. Pepper has a fun saying here in Texas that says you keep Texas money in Texas. Well, you know, I do like that, but I also like keeping money in, you know, let American money stay in America. And by people stepping up and investing in oil and gas right now here in America can really not only help them out with their pocketbooks, but it helps the economy out and it helps get more Americans back to work. [00:12:10][27.3]
Stuart Turley: [00:12:11] All right. [00:12:11][0.2]
Rey Trevino: [00:12:12] Well. [00:12:12][0.0]
Stuart Turley: [00:12:13] So now this is none of you were being I don’t know where did that come from? Now, let me throw this squirrel at you. That squirrel would be you nailed it right on through the whole thing. I think not only would that impact the United States, let’s get our oil back in. And, you know, really, we have the potential of the Marcellus. Of absolutely saving the East Coast and everybody up there for low cost energy. [00:12:50][37.2]
Stuart Turley: [00:12:52] Guys, I think we’ve had, what, ten LNG carriers come in that I’m aware of. I think two or three were from Russia. I have to go back, check myself, or CNBC is going to fact check me and call me a group. But if we went in and then you take a look at E.V. and you take a look at Cobalt. You know what I think I would do is if I would happen to be president, which I would be able to be a little bit more sane, which is hard to believe. [00:13:24][32.5]
David Blackmon: [00:13:25] And of course, it’s a pretty low bar right now. [00:13:27][1.8]
Stuart Turley: [00:13:28] Oh, do you know I can’t put my depends on without, you know, having a problem. Neither can he. Now. If I was president, I would step back and say to my constituents. [00:13:41][13.3]
Rey Trevino: [00:13:45] It was. [00:13:45][0.1]
Stuart Turley: [00:13:46] Go ahead and stop it there. Rickles. [00:13:49][2.5]
Rey Trevino: [00:13:51] Why do you call them Rickles? [00:13:52][0.7]
Stuart Turley: [00:13:55] So if I was the president of the United States, I’d sit back and talk to my constituents as our t would say, constituents. And that is, let’s step back from the ebb because of the children. Think about the years of child abuse in the Congo for the precious rare earth minerals. They’re abusing children. So if you went to the left this side over there and everybody’s saying, hey, we got to go green, but we can’t because we don’t have any copper, we don’t have any lithium, we don’t have any of this. [00:14:36][40.6]
Stuart Turley: [00:14:36] And you take a look about the abuse that we’re doing on Africa and children around the world. How can you argue with that and then sit back and go, we’re going to step back, We’re going to do natural gas because it’s cleaner. We’re going to do nuclear because nuclear is ten years out after they’ve been stupidly doing that. You can come back as a total swallow the bugs. You can actually you can. [00:15:07][31.1]
David Blackmon: [00:15:07] And that’s okay. You know, they want you to be eating more bugs these days. So. [00:15:11][3.3]
Stuart Turley: [00:15:11] Dude, rock on. That was great. You can come back as being heroes. And it’s not about whether we go to renewables or not. It’s how we get there. And we’re not ready yet, as our t articulated that I actually understood. RG And so does that make sense, guys? This does not think so. [00:15:37][26.0]
David Blackmon: [00:15:38] It’s always hard to tell with used to, but yeah, I think, I think it makes sense. [00:15:41][3.2]
Stuart Turley: [00:15:42] I mean, think about it. If we went back to. [00:15:44][2.2]
Rey Trevino: [00:15:44] Save the Children, it’s for the children. I mean, but you wouldn’t take that to piggyback, you know, to piggyback off of that. But let’s just talk about all the labor and everything just real quick, because that’s a whole that’s another that’s another podcast. [00:15:58][13.4]
Rey Trevino: [00:16:00] But, you know, you talk about the Congo, you talk about, you know, the African countries that are using inexpensive labor as what it’s called today, or let’s talk about China and what they’re doing with their inexpensive labor. All this stuff is now getting done right now. And you know what? [00:16:18][18.2]
Rey Trevino: [00:16:19] They’re more worried about the America and the green energy and us polluting in America, which again I’ve said this before, that we are the greenest when it comes to oil and gas in the world, and yet we’re focused on us. [00:16:34][15.5]
Rey Trevino: [00:16:35] And yet the focus on everything else in the world. And it’s kind of interesting that here we are focused on America while the rest of the world is burning. And that kind of reminds me of the time called 1938, when all we were was focused on America and the rest of the world started to go to go to poop. So, yeah, so there’s an interesting correlation there. [00:16:57][22.8]
Rey Trevino: [00:16:58] And let’s not forget who the president was at that time, a Democrat. And now we have one in power again. And we had one in power, you know, for eight years, minus the Trump and presidency, because that’s all that this is. Let’s call that what it is that this adds to the Obama administration is what there’s a. [00:17:20][21.9]
Stuart Turley: [00:17:20] Lot I can’t sleep for years now because that is an accurate wow. RB Holy crap. 1938. It was right before 1942 and Pearl Harbor in the world went to Holy cow, Batman and T Wow, you did good. And I can’t sleep now, ever. [00:17:44][24.1]
David Blackmon: [00:17:46] Well, I think, you know, if nothing else, R.T. Kane came up with a new advertising slogan for API, Save the Children. Use more natural gas. [00:17:57][10.4]
Rey Trevino: [00:17:57] They’re yelling. [00:17:58][0.3]
Stuart Turley: [00:17:59] Hey, hey, hey. Who came up with Save the Whale? I mean, Save the Children? [00:18:02][3.8]
David Blackmon: [00:18:04] Yeah. Okay, So. Okay. For the hour. [00:18:05][1.6]
Rey Trevino: [00:18:06] Yeah, It was a team effort. You know, I’m already thinking of that. So, you know, we are the world. [00:18:10][4.2]
Stuart Turley: [00:18:11] Yeah. [00:18:11][0.0]
David Blackmon: [00:18:12] I don’t think my editors at Forbes are going to let me write that particular column. [00:18:16][3.7]
Rey Trevino: [00:18:20] Oh, I’m sorry. I just. Myself, I’m a national site. [00:18:25][4.4]
Stuart Turley: [00:18:26] So what else. [00:18:27][0.4]
David Blackmon: [00:18:27] Are we going to talk about? Well, let me think. [00:18:29][1.7]
Stuart Turley: [00:18:30] Let me turn this over to you guys, because I want your opinion, but because you’re all opinion matters. Mine does that. Let’s go back to respect and respect. Biden has flipped the middle finger off several years ago to the Saudis and everything else. [00:18:48][18.2]
Stuart Turley: [00:18:49] This time he not only went over, ended the fist bump that lives on in infamy. Holy cow. That was an insult to the Saudis. Then a little bit of a catch. Did anybody notice when Boris attended and went and met with the Saudis? What color the carpet was? It was purple when they. [00:19:15][26.1]
David Blackmon: [00:19:16] Released Boris, who’s. [00:19:16][1.0]
Stuart Turley: [00:19:17] Boris? And most often he is not Boris. [00:19:21][4.1]
Rey Trevino: [00:19:22] Rocky and Bullwinkle. [00:19:22][0.4]
Stuart Turley: [00:19:24] No, no. The old press manager? Yeah. No, the old Prime Minister of England. [00:19:30][6.4]
Rey Trevino: [00:19:32] Oh, they go crazy here. [00:19:32][1.0]
David Blackmon: [00:19:33] Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Yeah, yeah. I’d already forgotten about it. [00:19:37][3.7]
Stuart Turley: [00:19:37] Yeah. Okay. So he’s already gone. He’s bye bye. But his hair was beautiful. Okay, so we sit back and you see him come off of the purple. Purple in the Saudi culture is not as good as red. So guess what? Biden guy when he rolls. Guess what Trump got. Now, I don’t you know, we all know I don’t agree with everything Trump does, but he’s entertaining and the world respected him. [00:20:06][28.3]
Stuart Turley: [00:20:07] He got red carpet and he got into the whole party thing and they treated him. They had dinners with him and everything else in. And we would not be on the precipice of World War Three. And now that I can not go to sleep because we have an October surprise coming up. It would not surprise me to see. The Biden administration really tried to poke up a nuclear war so there’d be no election now. Well. [00:20:44][37.7]
David Blackmon: [00:20:46] Okay, now we’re going in for conspiracy theory. [00:20:48][2.3]
Rey Trevino: [00:20:49] Yeah. [00:20:49][0.0]
Stuart Turley: [00:20:50] Well, think about it. I said it wouldn’t surprise me. [00:20:54][3.9]
Rey Trevino: [00:20:55] I’m not I’m not going to entertain that. [00:20:56][1.6]
Stuart Turley: [00:20:59] Let’s go back up a little bit. Respect. Did you guys see the U.S. reporter? I believe she was for CNBC. And for CNBC, she stood there in insulted Opec+ at the end of the meeting there. And at that meeting she asked the Prince of energy for Saudi Arabia. [00:21:24][25.5]
Stuart Turley: [00:21:25] And she said, How come you don’t have an open door policy? And how come when we ask for more oil, you don’t respond? Oh, my goodness. I like your mom. I mean, think about that. Hang on. And then she goes over to the another guy and he goes, she asking the same question. And he says, We have an open door policy. [00:21:52][26.8]
Stuart Turley: [00:21:53] Nobody’s not. I’m like, oh, my goodness, They held restraint. I absolutely applaud them for hold. Do I agree with them? No. Do I think they held straight from us being rude in. [00:22:08][15.4]
David Blackmon: [00:22:10] Yeah, well, I didn’t see it, but I mean, that question just reflects to the general arrogance of the U.S. government towards not just Saudi Arabia, but everyone in the Middle East these days. And it’s such a sad departure from all the inroads the Trump administration did make. [00:22:30][20.8]
David Blackmon: [00:22:32] And restoring all those relationships in the Middle East and bringing actual peace agreements, you know, between the various countries there. And this administration has gone out of its way to to reverse all of that. [00:22:47][15.3]
David Blackmon: [00:22:49] And it’s again, it’s incredibly destructive for U.S. national interests to deal with countries in such an arrogant manner. And, you know, as we were talking about before we started recording everything they’re doing, these are these Saudi Arabia is pushing them into the Russia and China orbit. [00:23:10][21.4]
David Blackmon: [00:23:10] And and this is why we see Saudi Arabia probably on the verge of joining the BRICS alliance along with India and China and Russia and and South Africa. So it’s it’s these things are all really destructive to U.S. national interests. And the actual motivation behind them is is really hard to understand. [00:23:34][23.4]
Rey Trevino: [00:23:36] Any purpose you’re going to do this because it’s very hard. And I will say this to piggyback off of what you’re talking about with BRICS, it’s very important that people understand what BRICS is. Once again, that’s Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa. Possibly next is going to be Saudi Arabia. [00:23:59][23.4]
Rey Trevino: [00:24:01] Okay. I remember ten, 15, even 20 years ago when everybody was talking about China, India and where the up India were, the up and coming economic economy, countries that their middle class was growing, that there was going to be a need for more vehicles, more transportation, which meant there was going to be need for more. [00:24:24][22.2]
Rey Trevino: [00:24:26] Why is it now all the sudden that those two countries are now working out alignments with other countries when our trade with China is way too much? In my opinion, we have too many things made in China already and the important stuff is made in China for goodness sake. So why is it that we are not partnering up with them on this as well? Because it’s just a darn shame that it just goes to show you that people are literally now having parties and we’re not even invited to these parties anymore. [00:24:59][33.5]
David Blackmon: [00:25:00] Yeah, well, and when you take the combined economies of those countries that are already in BRICS, and then you add the Saudi economy and all all volumes in to that, then you have an organization that really is is at least as economically powerful as the G7, which, you know. And so it’s a rival alliance that has their own trade relationships. That’s why we see China and India and Brazil not wanting to cooperate with all of the sanctions on Russia. [00:25:34][33.9]
Stuart Turley: [00:25:35] Do you do you think and R.T., do you think that this will turn over to the WAN and the yen is Japanese, but the WAN is Chinese and ruble? If it comes off the dollar like we’ve talked about, that’s going to be bad for the thing. Do you think they’re going to go to the WAN or the ruble? [00:25:58][23.0]
David Blackmon: [00:26:01] Well, that’s obviously what Russia and China want. So far, that hasn’t happened despite some really a lot of strong arming happening from from Putin and the Xi Jinping regime in China. You know, oil trading has always been tied to the dollar, and that has been a big factor in U.S. economic influence globally. [00:26:24][23.5]
David Blackmon: [00:26:25] And if that should change the impacts to the American economy and the strength of the dollar would be really dramatic and impact all of us in our standard of living. So we have to hope that that doesn’t happen. But this administration doesn’t seem to really much care about that. So I just it’s it’s very concerning. [00:26:46][21.1]
Stuart Turley: [00:26:47] Very. Man. [00:26:50][2.4]
David Blackmon: [00:26:51] Every time I stop talking, it’s this dead silence, guys. It’s like I just drove me all into a stupor. I don’t understand. [00:26:58][6.4]
Rey Trevino: [00:26:58] No, you what you say, David. The people stop. They listen. They have to like. It’s like. It’s like. Like you drop a truth bomb or. Well, that was a form of knowledge of us. And it’s like, you know, it’s definitely not what I say. Well, what’s to says people? [00:27:16][18.2]
Rey Trevino: [00:27:17] Look, I know why people tune in. It’s not for me. It’s not pursue. They tune in. All right. Yeah, sure. And so, no, no, thank you for sharing that as well, because you just said something and it steered you know, we got the G7 and then we could have this BRICS and two separate world powers and scared. Scary. It is. [00:27:39][21.4]
David Blackmon: [00:27:39] Very scary. [00:27:39][0.3]
Stuart Turley: [00:27:40] Very scary, you know. I think we’re going to have to put some of this transcript and put it out in the threepodcasters.com and or just the three with the number three podcast or wsj.com and also a forum to get feedback because we need to hear what people think. And I think that will help some of our discussions in the future. [00:28:09][28.7]
David Blackmon: [00:28:09] Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah. It’s always better. I mean we’ve, we’ve been getting some some viewer input on the other podcast you mentioned there the the Energy Transition podcast and it really enhances the product there. So yeah, the more we can get reader input and viewer input, the better. [00:28:29][19.4]
Stuart Turley: [00:28:29] I love the fact I don’t want to I mean, the the lives you guys do is very, very cool. I mean, it is out of the park. Cool. And I’m sorry, I love being a troll and I’m I don’t know why am I linked in. [00:28:47][18.1]
David Blackmon: [00:28:48] And I don’t know what it is. Yeah, because your stuff always shows up after we’re finished recording. Oh, it’s weird. I don’t know what’s happening here, but. [00:28:56][7.7]
Stuart Turley: [00:28:57] Anyway, it’s like it’s because people know my sense of humor. But, you know, eventually when we get three people following the three podcasters walk into a bar or we go live to sporting events and, you know, it’s like we’re already friends with the truckers. We get a lot more popular. We’ll have to start going like David. [00:29:24][26.7]
David Blackmon: [00:29:25] That’d be cool. Yeah, I love that. You know, I’ve done a lot of live radio interviews and with take take questions from listeners and it’s just always really makes it a lot more fun and engaging. So. [00:29:40][15.1]
Stuart Turley: [00:29:41] You bet. And our t last words here. We’re coming around the corner. Give us what you got going on for next week. Any predictions you would say? [00:29:50][9.0]
Rey Trevino: [00:29:50] Oh, man, predictions for next week? I think it’s going to be a little bit higher than it was this week. I think that’s going to go up a little higher than what I know for us over at Paco’s. We got some hard work excited about next week. [00:30:06][15.7]
Rey Trevino: [00:30:06] But as a whole, you know what? Let’s just keep keep the conversation open. And I’m looking forward to hearing some feedback because at the end of the day, we have to be open to listen. There’s talk. [00:30:18][11.8]
Stuart Turley: [00:30:19] You miss you guys. Really? How about you, Mr. Blackmon? [00:30:24][4.6]
David Blackmon: [00:30:25] Yeah, well, it’s going higher. It’s going to be $100 by Tuesday, I suspect. And WTI sitting above 91 right now. So I imagine we’ll be at 95 WTI next week and gas prices will be approaching $4 a gallon again. And wow. [00:30:42][17.6]
David Blackmon: [00:30:42] And the fourth quarter is going to be pretty rough. But, you know, hey, it’s Texas, so you we can go Longhorns and and my Dodgers are going to do well in the playoffs. So I’m excited. And this is the Brooklyn Dodgers capital. [00:30:56][13.9]
Stuart Turley: [00:30:57] I’m I’m rooting for my LSU Cowboys. I love my Cowboys. But also, I’d love to thank you to all of our listeners. And we’re really not going to game up on the three podcasters, but let’s all have discussions with everybody out there. [00:31:18][20.8]
Stuart Turley: [00:31:18] I love hearing green, renewable, I don’t care. Let’s talk about getting the lowest kilowatt per hour out there. Let’s elevate humanity out of poverty and let’s care about humanity. I mean, I may be a dork and try to laugh a lot, but hey, speaking of that real quick, Artie. David, we were all introduced. By who? [00:31:45][26.1]
David Blackmon: [00:31:46] Right, right, right, right, my boy. [00:31:48][2.2]
Stuart Turley: [00:31:49] Well, we love Ryan Rae. We’re going to give him a shout out. But now, Auntie, you’ve been hanging out with Ryan Rae too much on my podcast. In the past, he kept saying, I’m going to drill Neil well. Oh, what a wail away transcript. I’m going to drill a whale. Yeah. So, you know, I did the blowing up of what. [00:32:15][25.5]
David Blackmon: [00:32:15] Sounds like a really dangerous thing to me. I don’t know about you. [00:32:18][2.9]
Stuart Turley: [00:32:18] Yeah, so I. But now your accent are t is beauteous and I mean, you know, because you’re. You’re bonafide with the group. Drew’s. [00:32:28][10.3]
