I'm Jake Corley, and I'm Mark LaGour.

You're listening to the Oil and Gas This Week podcast brought to you by Redway.

This is the show for busy oil professionals who want to quickly

keep their fingers on the pulse of the industry. Welcome back everyone to another episode of

oil and gas this week. This is episode 98. What's going on, Mark? Oh, Jake, we're getting

Hopefully you guys enjoyed that.

So, you know, hopefully it was a peaceful inauguration because I really people, even if you don't agree with the guy's politics, he's the president, right? He's commander and chief. It's done. You know, just get over it. I don't ever remember wanting to protest presidents that were elected that I didn't agree with. I mean, they're still the president. I found, there was a video earlier on Facebook

that was, I thought it was just ridiculous. It was some of these protesters that were blocking

the walkway for some of the armed services members who were going to actually attend the

inauguration. So some of the higher up officers, I know, in their blues, and they're completely
