You're listening to the Oil and Gas This Week podcast with Mark LeCour and Jake Corley.

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

Welcome back to the episode of the Oil and gas this week podcast. You're listening to episode

180. For some reason, Mark, that's the number sounds really high. It does sound really high.

We get close to 200, which we have to do a live event, which we missed it with 100. So anybody

out there wants to partner with us for the 200th episode of oil and gas this week and reach out to

me, we could do something really cool. Now, before we get into the reviews and everything else, Jake, So anybody out there wants to partner with us for the 200th episode of Oil and Gas this week and reach out to me.

We could do something really cool.

Now, before we get into the reviews and everything else, Jake, I don't want to talk too much about this because I think one of the problems with the mass shootings we have is that people want social exposure.

So I'm not mentioned people or names or dates or anything.

I mean, you and I just gave a talk in New Mexico and overkirki at IPA, New Mexico, about the future of oil and gas and why we're so excited. But I think as
