This is the show for busy Oval Pros who want to quickly keep their finger on the pulse of the industry.

Thank you to everyone for joining us for episode 234, May 1st Friday, Q&A. How's it going, Mark? I'm doing great.

More importantly, how are you doing? I'm alive. So we had a lot of people check in to make sure you

were okay. I got recipes, Mark. People sent me recipes to help me feel better. So I greatly

appreciate all that. And a big thank you to Russell Stewart

for stepping in and filling in for you. We don't like to have different hosts move around too much, but when somebody's sick, it's kind of cool to have somebody else come fill in. And he did really good. We got some good feedback on him. Oh, great. I can't wait to listen. I haven't had a chance yet. All right. And then speaking of stuff, we didn't get a review, which is rare for us,

not bragging or anything. It just seems strange. We don't have a review. So people, if you want a big shout out, leave us a review. If you love what we're doing, we love those five-star reviews. And if you'd like to see something change, you can give us a three-star review and just let us know which I'd like to see us change.

But like Paige said, this is the first Friday Q&A.

This is where we help educate our audience by questions that you submit. So let's get into it, Paige. Who's our first question from? Of course, it's Ludwig. Hey, Ludvick. What will kerosene price be in 6, 12, and 24 months, and why? This is actually a really good question because a lot of people may not know this. When I think of kerosene, I think of what my grandparents' grandparents used for lighting, right? It was an oil, it was put in a lamp. We're both from South Louisiana. Oh, I remember having glass oil lamps. Yeah, because of hurricanes, right? It was your backup for light in case we lost electricity because of a hurricane.

And the reason it still uses the backup is so, it's so reliable.

Kerosene is relatively inexpensive, but here's something a lot of people don't know.

Kerosene is either jet fuel or a component of jet fuel.

And kerosene is either rocket fuel or a component or rocket fuel.

You know, SpaceX just broke some records literally last week.

And the power, the fuel to power, their SpaceX rockets is kerosene and liquid oxygen.

And then their next generation of rocket engines is going to be methane, which is natural gas and liquid oxygen.

But to answer Luthuick's question, it's interesting, because the refineries around the world quit producing kerosene slash jet fuel, the supply is relatively low.

So prices are starting to go up.

Now, when people are starting to fly, which is happening right now, the demands could go up so the producers, refiners,
