Thanks for joining us for episode 400, Mark. And I told you that episode

400, we're going to do something special. Paige, do you think our audiences noticed the change

in our voiceover at the beginning of this episode? Maybe, or maybe my name change on LinkedIn.

Your name changed more than on LinkedIn. So audience, Paige and I got married.

We really did. I do know that the day that we picked to get married, some people may think

as a joke, but it's not. We have been very professional, but we have also been a couple for

quite a while. And it was time to do the deed, and we did it. Wonderful ceremony. And nothing is going to change other than the fact that Page now shares my last name. Yep. And we actually probably will talk more of this on behind the curtain. Yeah. However, to go from a moment of joy to a moment of maybe not joy, we got a review. You want to read it? It's a novel. I'll stop in a couple of spots so you can respond. It's a one star. Show number 399, time to push back. Dear Mark and Page, where to start, I've been one of your early followers. In fairness, I may not always agree with what you say. I do respect the options you share. I assume he

opinions. That said, show number 399 saw you stepping far outside what would be considered

credible. It's time that this behavior was called out. Where we're going here is political.

If you listen to us in any length of time, you know that we

struggled. We did not want to talk politics on this show or any of our shows because it's so

divisive. But at some point, it became such a major driver in the only gas industry that we had to.

So we talk politics now. You want to continue? Yep. If you want true credibility and respect in

countries where oil and gas is important, not somewhere like Hong Kong really doesn't count, then you need to be less of a fanboy for the current U.S. administration.

Please focus upon the oil and gas industry and take a balanced approach since some of the impressionable minds who listen to you may take away a flawed understanding.

Okay. All your impressionable minds do not walk away with a flawed understanding, please.

Okay. I recognize your service. Thank you for your service. But to go as far as to present the Trump administration as the following is misguided. Strategic.

This is not a war since Congress has not approved of this military activity.
