WEBVTT - 12-27-25 Ken Broo 0:00:17.160 --> 0:00:21.320 Now your host Ken Brew on News Radio seven hundred 0:00:21.520 --> 0:00:22.280 w welw. 0:00:22.800 --> 0:00:23.880 Yeah, all right, we. 0:00:23.960 --> 0:00:26.000 Pay the guy. You might as well show up, right. 0:00:27.680 --> 0:00:29.479 He might have been out partying this week too, You 0:00:29.560 --> 0:00:33.120 never know. Welcome on in. It's this Saturday extravaganza. We 0:00:33.159 --> 0:00:36.159 are here till three o'clock. Yes, it is going to 0:00:36.200 --> 0:00:40.320 be near sixty degrees tomorrow, maybe not by that Bengals game, 0:00:40.360 --> 0:00:42.760 but certainly through the Bengals game. It's going to be 0:00:43.040 --> 0:00:46.760 you know, mid late upper fifties in late Jane, in 0:00:46.840 --> 0:00:50.000 late December, and then of course all hell breaks loose 0:00:50.000 --> 0:00:54.880 again on Monday, the temperatures plummet. But nevertheless, savor this 0:00:54.960 --> 0:00:57.640 while you can. Welcome on. And we got a lot 0:00:57.680 --> 0:01:01.639 to get to between now and three o'clock. And one 0:01:01.680 --> 0:01:03.400 of the things I wanted to touch on because I 0:01:03.480 --> 0:01:05.640 was out and about last night after the show, I 0:01:05.640 --> 0:01:07.679 wanted to fill my car up with gas because it 0:01:07.720 --> 0:01:10.080 was run and low, and I noticed the price of 0:01:10.240 --> 0:01:13.880 gallon of gasoline around here, somewhere south of three dollars. 0:01:13.920 --> 0:01:17.040 It's like where I bought it. It was, I believe 0:01:17.080 --> 0:01:22.199 two seventy eight. There are places, according to gasbuddy dot com, 0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:25.959 in places like Middletown, up in Sydney, in that area, 0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:30.399 down around the Louisville area, there are places, within the 0:01:30.440 --> 0:01:34.440 sound of my voice, well, you can find gasoline hovering 0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:38.840 just above two dollars a gallon, two dollars and seven, 0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:40.800 two dollars and eight cents. You got to know where 0:01:40.800 --> 0:01:43.319 to go. Go to gas buddy. They'll tell you exactly 0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:46.720 where they are. But those prices are out there. And 0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:50.320 President Trump, when he campaigned last year and when he 0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:54.440 was inaugurated earlier this year, he said his goal was 0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:58.200 to drill, baby, drill again and get gas prices down 0:01:58.240 --> 0:02:01.400 to two dollars a gallon. And so not just in 0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:04.640 local places around here in the greater Cincinnati area, but 0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:09.639 if you go to let's say Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, 0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:16.079 you will find gas prices hovering around two dollars a gallon, Missouri, Tennessee, 0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:20.480 South Dakota. Now, okay, we're not anywhere near there, But 0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:23.040 as I said, there are places around here where you 0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:26.640 can find similar pricing, particularly if you're out on the 0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:29.160 road on I seventy one, I seventy five, coming home 0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:33.000 perhaps from a lot of revelry during the Christmas break. 0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:36.320 When do we get close to two dollars a gallon, 0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:40.240 I mean all over, when do we get close? Standing 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:44.000 by is somebody who thinks he knows it's gonna be 0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:48.919 great talking to RT. Travino from Peko's Country Energy. You've 0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:53.040 seen the TV show Land Man. I believe that the 0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:56.400 chief character in Land Man, that Tommy whatever his name is, 0:02:56.440 --> 0:02:59.880 the Billy Bob Thornton character. I believe he was based 0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:02.720 off RT. Travino. I'm going to try and confirm this 0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:05.520 right now when we get Urt on the horn, But 0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:09.160 I believe that there was some sort of partnership. Maybe 0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:11.799 he was shadowing RT or something like that. I don't 0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:13.480 know why. I want to get to the bottom of that. 0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:16.400 And when we get to two dollars a gallon of 0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:20.000 gasoline right here all over the tri State. So let's 0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:23.560 bring him on in from Peko's Country Energy standing by 0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:28.760 and flashing euphemistically, speaking of course online one is our buddy, 0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:31.519 ARTI Travino. How are you on this glorious Saturday. 0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:34.760 Oh my gosh, I'm doing very well. 0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:37.360 Marry Christmas is very Christmas to. 0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:40.120 You and everyone out there, and think you always with 0:03:40.520 --> 0:03:41.680 wonderful introdiction. 0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:45.080 Now, is it true that you're the character on Landman, 0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:48.120 the Tommy, the guy that Billy Bob Thornton plays. Is 0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:52.360 it true that he actually spent time with you down 0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:54.840 there in the premium basis to understand what the oil 0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:56.720 industry is all about? Can you confirm that? 0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:02.560 I cannot confirm that when they cannot confirm. 0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:04.640 But man, what an action packed show. 0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:06.560 That is what it is. I mean, we're like four 0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:09.840 episodes into the new season. It's unbelievable. It seems like 0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:12.200 all hell breaks loose down there in oil country. They 0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:14.240 keep saying, this is a tough business. This is a 0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:17.280 tough business. People are getting shot, people are dying on 0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:20.840 heart attacks, They're getting blown up on oil rigs. Now 0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:24.040 there's some sort of crap in the air, some sort 0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:26.839 of gas that's killing people. Is it really like that 0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:28.599 down there in the permium basin? 0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:32.479 You know, I will say this safety is number one 0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:34.840 in the real life oil and. 0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:37.839 Gas industry, and that H two S gas. 0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:43.719 Yes, that is a major risk and extremely dangerous, so 0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:46.120 that they did definitely get right. 0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:49.080 It's so dangerous. 0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:50.960 That you can't even smell it, and that's why it 0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:51.800 is so dangerous. 0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:54.200 So is that all over the place down there literally 0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:56.040 when you go out on the field in the morning, 0:04:56.040 --> 0:04:58.039 and I mean very early in the morning, like at 0:04:58.080 --> 0:05:00.120 three or four o'clock, do you have to take make 0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:01.839 a gas mask with you to survive? 0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:06.960 Well, that gas is usually coming up out of the ground. 0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:09.640 There's pockets of it as are either drilling or after 0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:12.600 we've drilled, and then that's how that gas comes out 0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:15.919 of out of there and all of the take batteries 0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:17.200 and with the oil itself. 0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:20.760 Wow, man, I can't I can't imagine it. RT. I mean, 0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:23.640 you are really one of the real crusaders down there. Now, 0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:26.359 let me ask you about this. I'm reading this on 0:05:26.480 --> 0:05:29.080 gas Buddy, the nation's average gas A price of a 0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:32.080 gallon of gasoline has fallen about six cents over the 0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:35.760 last week. Fourth straight week the national average price of 0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:39.400 gasoline has declined. I don't know what it's like down 0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:41.920 by you. Up here in the greater Cincinnati area, we're 0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:45.040 still paying close to three dollars. It's like two seventy 0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:48.599 five to eighty two eighty five in some places out 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:52.920 away from the downtown area here, there's reports on gas 0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:56.240 Buddy of gasoline being sold for two dollars and seven 0:05:56.320 --> 0:05:59.720 two dollars and eight. I'm just wondering, is this in 0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:03.479 an or do you sense like you told us the 0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:06.120 last time you were on that we're eventually going to 0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:07.360 get to two dollars a gallon? 0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:12.440 It is it is creeping closer to two dollars a gallon. 0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:15.040 As you mentioned, the national average is now below two 0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:17.560 ninety nine, and just like in Ohio, here. 0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:20.520 In the great State of Texas, we are seeing those lower. 0:06:20.200 --> 0:06:22.200 Prices, and even diesel is. 0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:25.760 Now below three dollars a gallon, and we will continue 0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:29.000 to see that, just especially during the rest of this holiday, 0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:31.960 but probably going to at least the first quarter of 0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:32.960 twenty twenty six. 0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:36.480 Our nation has once again, you know. 0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:39.599 The number one producer in the world, and with all 0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:43.640 of the refineries already being switched over to the winter blends, 0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:47.240 all refineries are back at full capacity of what they're producing. 0:06:48.360 --> 0:06:51.440 And as we continue to have the drill Baby, drill 0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:55.440 mantra from this president, we will continue to see these. 0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:58.800 Lower gas prices. Just as an American, I'm. 0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:02.400 Proud of it because we're really getting that US economy 0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:05.279 back into action with these lower prices. 0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:07.200 Right now, Well, let me ask you about that, because 0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:11.760 there's something called the Energy Information Administration the EIA. Are 0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:12.560 you familiar with that? 0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:16.120 The EIA, Yes, very familiar with the EI al right. 0:07:16.160 --> 0:07:19.320 So they've got numbers out now that show that at 0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:22.880 the time Trump was inaugurated, the US had five hundred 0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:25.960 and eighty two oil and national and natural gas rigs 0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:28.640 in operation, but in August of this past year, the 0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:31.760 number dropped to five thirty eight. So why are the 0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:35.240 number of rigs going down if we're drill baby, drill. 0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:36.800 Well right now. 0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:39.560 The number of rigs that are going down is obviously 0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:42.520 obviously due to the fact that we are producing so 0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:45.560 much oil right now, and also to the fact that 0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:48.600 oil and gas rigs are getting more and more efficient. 0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:51.760 Can For example, when we used to drill a well 0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:56.120 that might be ten thousand feet straight down and then 0:07:56.360 --> 0:08:00.840 ten thousand feet horizontally, we're now drilling these wells ten thousand. 0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:04.760 Feet down and maybe thirty thousand feet or bowing. 0:08:05.040 --> 0:08:07.120 And then that's a little bit of a deggeration. But 0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:11.680 we're drilling now four mile laterals into the ground, and 0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:15.800 so these wells are producing even more oil. So basically, 0:08:15.840 --> 0:08:18.239 what used to take three or four wells to drill 0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:19.400 without doing. 0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:21.760 It in two now you raised an interesting point just 0:08:21.800 --> 0:08:24.120 a few minutes ago. It's not just what you and 0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:27.440 I pay at the pump, it's also diesel. Diesel moves 0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:30.840 this country. The trucks that carry the goods and services 0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:33.880 to the stores around here like Kroger and various other places. 0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:39.080 It's trucks like that that bring the food to the store. 0:08:39.559 --> 0:08:42.880 And if their diesel prices are down, chances are the 0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:45.600 prices on those goods and services will go down. To 0:08:46.120 --> 0:08:49.720 Diesel is almost, if not more important than what you 0:08:49.760 --> 0:08:50.760 and I pay at the pump. 0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:53.319 Right. Oh. Absolutely. 0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:57.960 First of all, anybody out there that is just driving 0:08:58.000 --> 0:09:00.080 a big ring today, I want to say thank you 0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:03.559 very much for can you continue hard work in service 0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:07.720 to this country. But yes, no, diesel is very key 0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:08.760 to everything going on. 0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:09.800 And what I. 0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:15.160 Understand, a lot of big truck operators and owners really 0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:18.360 like prices to be up a little bit more just 0:09:18.480 --> 0:09:22.240 so that they're able to maintain a better cash flow 0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:25.120 for their individuals, and actually it provides better service for 0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:27.760 the for the customer to honors. 0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:30.840 Okay, okay, so that's good. That's good. Now let's talk 0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:34.440 about Venezuela. We got a blockade down there. As you 0:09:34.520 --> 0:09:37.640 well know, and we've been seizing oil tankers, blown up 0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:39.640 drug boats along the way. But the fact of the 0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:43.520 matter is we've got them blockaded down there, and we're 0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:46.280 going on these ghost tankers and seizing them and the 0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:50.520 oil they're carrying the places like China and other places 0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:55.040 where we don't necessarily do business with. There are rigs, 0:09:55.040 --> 0:09:58.680 there are drills down there. They're obviously oil down there 0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:02.480 in the hills and valleys of Venezuela that were left 0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:06.040 behind by major oil companies who are either forced out 0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:09.760 by the Venezuelan government Hugo Chavez and now his successor Maduro, 0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:12.800 or they just turned everything over and got the hell out. 0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:14.839 And Trump wants to go in there and he wants 0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:18.120 to get those assets back and seize those things. So 0:10:18.280 --> 0:10:20.600 if there's any oil coming out of there, it's controlled 0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:24.959 by the United States. Is that is that tension down there? 0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:28.280 Is that driving prices up? Or have they not affected 0:10:28.360 --> 0:10:29.520 anything yet at the pump? 0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:33.800 Well, right now, those prices actually are effect. 0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:35.720 Excuse me, that action. 0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:37.839 Down there does affect the price of oil. 0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:39.280 And it does it like this. 0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:42.240 If you ever follow any of my information on the 0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:47.080 crude true substack or another Goodwin of energynewsbeat dot com. 0:10:47.400 --> 0:10:50.360 We have been talking what we call the dark fleet 0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:54.520 for about six years now, and that is tankers across 0:10:54.559 --> 0:10:58.880 the world that go across that sale and. 0:10:58.960 --> 0:11:02.719 The seas with oil that is not registered. 0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:08.800 So basically we have oil going across the globe that's 0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:11.719 not part of the actual supply count. Which guess what 0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:15.880 that means that in some ways our supply is lower 0:11:16.000 --> 0:11:20.800 because we have more oil that's being sold than what 0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:26.160 is accounted for now. The reason for the sanctions is basically, 0:11:26.360 --> 0:11:29.840 you know, Venezuela is not playing nice and they need 0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:32.319 to get back in check. And I just want to 0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:34.480 say on a side note that I want everybody to 0:11:34.520 --> 0:11:38.600 take a look at Venezuela as a pure exampleful of 0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:41.760 what communism truly does to a great country. 0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:43.280 Like that in less than thirty years. 0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:46.920 And went from a thriving tourist destination to basically everybody 0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:50.760 is now poor except for the president of that country. 0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:55.160 But there's so much more to unpack your cans. So 0:11:55.320 --> 0:11:58.160 it all started out with US blowing up by US, 0:11:58.200 --> 0:12:02.600 I mean our US military up these drug boats and 0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:08.040 ken there is absolutely nothing this has absolutely nothing. 0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:11.079 To do with the drug boats. What is going on 0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:13.400 right now, is that there is a true. 0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:19.840 Russia and Chinese present presence, a heavy presence in Venezuela, 0:12:20.400 --> 0:12:22.760 and that is what needs to be removed. 0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:26.679 Believe we're not moving a. 0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:31.560 Fleet of shifts over to the Caribbean for drug boats. 0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:35.720 And this all has to go back to the Monroe doctrine, 0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:40.240 which states of the United States controls our hemisphere and 0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:43.000 the British control There's and so on and so forth. 0:12:43.880 --> 0:12:48.160 And so with Chinese Chinese presence there in South America, 0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:50.320 we really need to get our backyard cleaned up. 0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:52.240 So why are we blowing up drug boats? That the 0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:53.520 real issue is oil. 0:12:55.000 --> 0:12:57.439 The real exactly the real issue is oil. 0:12:57.679 --> 0:13:01.439 And so I'm sure that there's the planned attack or 0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:04.640 plan is to try to get them to stop sooner 0:13:04.640 --> 0:13:05.800 than later somehow. 0:13:06.280 --> 0:13:08.320 All right, So I was always told, I think you 0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:11.720 were the one that told me initially that Venezuelan oil, 0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:14.040 the stuff that comes out of the ground in Venezuela 0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:17.200 is quote unquote dirty oil. That is not really good oil. 0:13:17.320 --> 0:13:21.080 It's just oil. Now is that because it's not refined properly? 0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:23.840 Or is it just bad stuff and not as good 0:13:23.920 --> 0:13:26.000 stuff as we have underneath our feet here. 0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:30.000 That's correct, It's just not as good as what we 0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:30.480 have here. 0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:33.000 It's funny we do have when we talk about the 0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:36.559 sleep Texas tea and the Sweet Texas crude oil, it 0:13:37.400 --> 0:13:40.600 does come out of the ground a lot cleaner than 0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:44.200 other places around the world, and so when we do that, 0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:45.719 it actually is. 0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:47.240 Refined a lot smoother. 0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:50.920 However, here in America we do not have the capacity 0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:54.120 at refineries to actually refine all. 0:13:54.000 --> 0:13:55.320 Of our oil that we produce. 0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:57.560 So so play this out a little bit. Our tea. 0:13:58.600 --> 0:14:01.680 So the Venezuela thing is is down there and it's percolating. 0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:03.800 If it becomes a full fledged hot zone and we 0:14:03.920 --> 0:14:07.160 start shooting shells in and missiles and whatnot into Venezuela 0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:09.480 and then well hell breaks loose and who knows what happens. 0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:13.000 But let's just let's just talk about this. If Venezuela 0:14:13.080 --> 0:14:15.640 kind of stays the way it is and we're doing 0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:18.400 other things to get the Russian and China influence out 0:14:18.440 --> 0:14:21.080 of there, do we get to two dollars a gallon? 0:14:21.120 --> 0:14:23.240 And if so, how soon? I mean, I'm just I'm 0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:26.520 just trying to figure out with you know, oil and 0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:29.520 for that matter, anything else that's a traded commodity the 0:14:29.560 --> 0:14:32.960 stock market, but oil especially, which is so dependent on 0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:38.680 world and geopolitical politics. I'm just wondering, is it a 0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:41.560 realistic thing to say two dollars a gallons for everybody 0:14:41.600 --> 0:14:42.680 by the summer. 0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:47.040 We'll see I don't know if the summertime. It might 0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:49.320 be sooner than that, and it might be back up 0:14:49.360 --> 0:14:53.640 by the summertime. You know, some some people are predicting 0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:55.840 that we'll be at sixty dollars oil. 0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:57.000 Prices here by summer. 0:14:57.000 --> 0:15:00.280 With two means that we'd be above two dollars for sure, 0:15:00.520 --> 0:15:00.960 But to the. 0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:02.960 Others they saying that we may be even lower than 0:15:03.000 --> 0:15:05.920 fifty five. So I think if we actually had an 0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:10.320 opportunity to see two dollars gasoline prices here in America again, 0:15:10.640 --> 0:15:13.320 it would be in the first quarter of twenty twenty six, right, 0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:14.520 were the second or third? 0:15:14.800 --> 0:15:19.160 So so WTI, which is West Texas Intermediate, you know 0:15:19.280 --> 0:15:22.400 West Texas Crewed, it was at fifty eight dollars and 0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:26.640 forty cents a barrel when the market's closed right before Christmas. 0:15:26.800 --> 0:15:29.760 So I mean, we're we're under sixty right now, right. 0:15:30.720 --> 0:15:33.840 That is correct, and I do expect it to stay there. 0:15:34.080 --> 0:15:36.720 So companies like us and Excellent are doing what we 0:15:36.760 --> 0:15:39.240 can to be as efficient as we can with our 0:15:39.320 --> 0:15:43.360 lease operating expenses so we can continue to get profits. 0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:45.600 To our shareholders and in our investers all the time. 0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:48.760 All right, RT for Banio Peko's Country Energy. Here is 0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:50.800 the big question. Are you ready for the big question 0:15:50.880 --> 0:15:52.440 that you're going to get in this interview? 0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:55.680 Come on, bring it out, ken Head and. 0:15:55.680 --> 0:15:56.680 Brew number one. 0:15:57.200 --> 0:16:00.240 That that that well that rig that we got down 0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:02.640 there that was just spitting out oil like it was 0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:05.480 hitting Jed Clamping in the face in West Virginia. I'm 0:16:05.520 --> 0:16:08.040 just wondering, how is that? How is that doing right now? 0:16:08.840 --> 0:16:11.080 You know, I'm glad you asked. Kim Brew number one 0:16:11.200 --> 0:16:13.640 is doing excellent. We had to go down hole and 0:16:13.680 --> 0:16:15.600 do some work to it a couple of weeks ago. 0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:18.800 But you know what, that will has been staying steady 0:16:18.800 --> 0:16:20.520 and it declined and so we had, like I said, 0:16:20.560 --> 0:16:22.080 go down hole and get some working. 0:16:22.120 --> 0:16:23.160 It came right back up. 0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:26.640 So kim Brew number one is doing well and is 0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:28.200 looking pretty Yeah. 0:16:28.200 --> 0:16:30.040 That's kind of like me. I went. I was steady 0:16:30.040 --> 0:16:31.760 there for a while, then I went in decline and 0:16:31.760 --> 0:16:33.240 they had a drill deeper into me, and all of 0:16:33.280 --> 0:16:35.040 a sudden, I'm back in my feet. Now, how many 0:16:35.040 --> 0:16:36.880 gallons a day are we getting out of that? How many? 0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:39.000 How many gallons of war? Would you say? How many 0:16:39.080 --> 0:16:40.840 barrels of oil are we getting out everyday? 0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:41.640 Oh? 0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:44.400 My gosh, we're somewhere probably around about a hundred barrel 0:16:44.440 --> 0:16:44.840 of the day. 0:16:44.880 --> 0:16:49.520 KI at fifty eight dollars a barrel, Yes, sir, Okay, 0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:51.480 why am I going to see a check up here? Rtie? 0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:52.240 You got my address? 0:16:52.320 --> 0:16:52.440 Oh? 0:16:52.600 --> 0:16:53.600 I need to get to my Joe. 0:16:53.680 --> 0:16:58.000 Wait, wait, we got a communication break down here. 0:16:59.320 --> 0:17:03.360 Our teacher radio Pinkoa's Country Energy. He knows all, seesell 0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:06.040 and can tell you anything you want about oil and 0:17:06.160 --> 0:17:08.760 natural gas. Rt You have a happy new year, and 0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:10.440 you know you and I are gonna be talking when 0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:12.159 we get into twenty twenty six. Thank you. 0:17:12.720 --> 0:17:13.639 I'll look forward to it. 0:17:13.760 --> 0:17:16.800 Thank you, Kennedy. Everybody out there having successful twenty twenty six. 0:17:16.880 --> 0:17:21.359 Man, send that check up here. Well it's doing great. Okay, 0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:26.920 where's my money? No, I'm on gas buddy right now, 0:17:28.280 --> 0:17:30.919 Lewis Center, Ohio. Not quite sure where that is, but 0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:33.400 two dollars and five cents a gallon that was reported 0:17:33.440 --> 0:17:38.359 two minutes ago, Union City two dollars and seven cents, 0:17:38.400 --> 0:17:41.960 Sydney two dollars and seven cents, Sheets two dollars and 0:17:42.000 --> 0:17:45.840 seven cents. All up in Sydney Franklin are reporting two 0:17:45.880 --> 0:17:49.000 dollars and seven cents a gallon. So it looks like 0:17:49.000 --> 0:17:53.479 in that area of the world, it's it's doing pretty 0:17:53.640 --> 0:17:57.120 danged well. Now as we get closer here to Cincinnati 0:17:57.840 --> 0:18:01.040 and northern Kentucky, it's certainly it's it's a lot higher. 0:18:01.119 --> 0:18:04.440 But one would think that if it's that way in 0:18:04.480 --> 0:18:07.399 other places, and if there are other states where it 0:18:07.480 --> 0:18:10.359 is just above two dollars again, and it's got to 0:18:10.400 --> 0:18:12.840 be coming here. But again, you know, we go into 0:18:12.880 --> 0:18:16.480 Venezuela and all hell breaks loose down there and then 0:18:16.480 --> 0:18:19.600 there's a completely different story, and we'll see what OPEK 0:18:19.720 --> 0:18:22.959 does because they always react to whatever we do. So 0:18:23.960 --> 0:18:27.040 but it is trending that way. It is trending that 0:18:27.119 --> 0:18:30.399 way again. I'm getting that off gasbuddy dot com easy 0:18:30.440 --> 0:18:33.480 to access, and that was RT. Travino, who is one 0:18:33.520 --> 0:18:36.400 of the best in the oil and gas business. We're 0:18:36.400 --> 0:18:39.399 coming up on twelve twenty five. It's Saturday afternoon on 0:18:39.560 --> 0:18:47.760 seven hundred w l W. Hey now twelve thirty nine 0:18:47.800 --> 0:18:53.000 on this Saturday, good afternoon, seven hundred w LW. I 0:18:53.040 --> 0:18:55.800 am Ken Brow A lot to get to on the 0:18:55.800 --> 0:19:01.399 show today. Northern Kentucky schools have benefited atially with money 0:19:02.400 --> 0:19:06.920 from Billy Joel. Yeah, that Billy Joel. Anyway, we're going 0:19:07.000 --> 0:19:09.320 to talk about that and how all that money wound 0:19:09.400 --> 0:19:12.520 up with so many arts programs in the Northern Kentucky 0:19:12.640 --> 0:19:18.040 school districts. Brian Diardo, cbssports dot com. What nuked the 0:19:18.040 --> 0:19:23.280 Bengals this season? Is it too really simple to say 0:19:23.359 --> 0:19:28.040 that it was all Joe Burrow's injury? I think it is. Anyway, 0:19:28.119 --> 0:19:29.800 we'll get into that as we look ahead to the 0:19:29.840 --> 0:19:35.240 Bengals in the Arizona Diamond Arizona Arizona Cardinals tomorrow at 0:19:35.520 --> 0:19:39.800 Paykhorse Stadium, and then a few other twists and turns 0:19:39.840 --> 0:19:43.320 along the way. You know, I mentioned that it was 0:19:43.440 --> 0:19:46.040 twelve thirty nine, but as you and I both know, 0:19:47.200 --> 0:19:52.640 it's five o'clock somewhere. There's one for you, one for me. Well, 0:19:52.640 --> 0:19:54.920 that's just the way it is. Now we're moving past 0:19:54.960 --> 0:19:59.400 college football or into like the winter months. We still 0:19:59.440 --> 0:20:04.560 have college football today because out in is it Arizona? Yeah, 0:20:04.560 --> 0:20:11.240 the Snoop Dog Bowl. It's the Miami RedHawks against Fresno State. 0:20:11.320 --> 0:20:15.080 That's at four point thirty. Snoop Dogg's got his own bowl. Well, 0:20:15.119 --> 0:20:18.360 Barstool Sports had their own bowl game right at one point. 0:20:19.520 --> 0:20:21.480 I think all you got to do is probably put 0:20:21.560 --> 0:20:23.919 up like maybe one hundred and fifty two hundred grand 0:20:24.800 --> 0:20:26.680 and you could get your own bowl game. They would 0:20:26.800 --> 0:20:30.200 name it after you. That's how how desperate they are 0:20:30.240 --> 0:20:35.000 for money. See, these bowl games exist by and large 0:20:37.160 --> 0:20:41.520 for programming on ESPN. So ESPN puts up the money, 0:20:41.680 --> 0:20:43.920 then they get a sponsor to put up some more money, 0:20:43.960 --> 0:20:45.679 and then all of a sudden, you get these teams 0:20:45.680 --> 0:20:48.119 can fly here there and play these bowl games that 0:20:48.200 --> 0:20:54.080 with each passing year become less significant. Everybody is wrapped 0:20:54.119 --> 0:20:57.480 up in the college football playoff because that determines who 0:20:57.520 --> 0:21:00.600 the national champion is. So if you're not in the playoff, 0:21:00.680 --> 0:21:04.720 then you're basically just playing out games or one extra 0:21:04.800 --> 0:21:06.840 game this year. I don't mean to diminish it. I 0:21:06.920 --> 0:21:10.440 watched some of these bowl games. Watch the terrific one 0:21:10.800 --> 0:21:16.159 last night that New Mexico was involved with with Minnesota 0:21:16.240 --> 0:21:20.320 was wonderful. It's an exciting game. But by and large, 0:21:20.359 --> 0:21:23.119 these games, these bowl games, have lost their significance for 0:21:23.160 --> 0:21:25.880 a couple of reasons. One, there is the College Football Playoff, 0:21:25.960 --> 0:21:29.600 and two, a lot of the players, the bigger name 0:21:29.720 --> 0:21:34.960 players on these teams don't always participate. Some skip just 0:21:35.000 --> 0:21:38.439
