Hey, everybody. It's Tim Miller from the Bullwork. I'm delighted to welcome somebody on that I've been following religiously for the past, I don't know, 40 days or so. He's the head of petroleum analysis, a gas buddy. He's analyzed in tract oil markets and fuel prices for nearly two decades. You can find him on Substack at gasprice guy.com. It's Patrick DeHan. How you doing, man? Good to be with you. 40 days, huh, man? That seems like a long time ago. Loyal. I've been a loyal follower for 40 days. This is your moment in the sun, I guess, for better or worse, thanks to what's happening in Strait of Formos and elsewhere. Why, why you give people a little background on, you know, how you got into this, what it is that you're, what is that you're doing over there? Boy, I wish it was a moment in the sun, you know. I might not be as pasty white anymore.

You know, it's been a wild last couple months. I've been doing this for almost 20 years of gas buddy that is analyzing markets, looking at oil prices, telling our members of gas buddy,

whether or not price are going to go up or down and trying to really stay ahead of the information.

Of course, there's a lot of... looking at oil prices, telling our members a gas buddy whether or not price are going to go up or down

and trying to really stay ahead of the information. Of course, there's a lot of misinformation as well.

Everyone's a journalist these days. So trying to parse out all the details on what comes next.

And I can't believe we've been doing this for now nine weeks. So it's been a while.

That's crazy. So right before we got on, we have some breaking news, which is that brand crude prices are

surging above $119 a barrel at the time.

We're taping this on Monday late morning.

This was after UAE announces that there was an Iranian drone attack that hit one of their

petroleum facilities.

So that's kind of breaking.

I wonder if you have any kind of global thoughts

on maybe Iran starting to reengage here, but also I think just maybe some basics for our audience.

Like when you see things like Brent oil price going up, like what does that mean as compared to

some of the other stuff in the market? I mean, there's a lot to watch. I'm trying to look at the

headlines here, you know, even talking with you to see how bad it is. I mean, there's a lot to wash. I'm trying to look at the headlines here, you know, even talking

with you to see how bad it is. I mean, obviously a drone strike on UAE facilities would be about

as bad as it gets. You know, when we see these attacks, it's hugely impactful. More so from a

psychological standpoint of it re-escalates the situation.

You know, and after a period of calm, I mean, nerves are becoming unsettled whenever you see something like this and it's going to have a lasting impact.
