| 0:00.0 | Welcome, everybody. This is not a normal episode. Michael and I decided that during the week of Thanksgiving, we just threw a little short episode out there. And Michael, I want to start with things that we're thankful for. The price of crude and natural gas is higher than it's been in 13 years. So thankful for that. |
| 0:23.6 | Yeah. Well, we're also thankful that it's that doesn't keep going higher. Right. Like, it's at a, it's at a good spot now, I think. |
| 0:29.8 | It's at a good spot. OGGN has grown. Our people have stayed healthy through the pandemic. Very thankful for that. |
| 0:39.0 | And even things like, |
| 0:43.9 | you know, life is starting to get back to normal a little bit more, super thankful for that. |
| 0:48.0 | But since this is Thanksgiving, there's a couple of things that people may not know about Thanksgiving, which I think is kind of cool. One is when you look at the energy that it takes |
| 0:51.8 | to make a normal Thanksgiving dinner here in the United States, |
| 0:55.0 | that amount of energy is equal to the about 644 million kilowatts. |
| 1:01.0 | So if you do the math on the number of people that eat Thanksgiving dinner here in the U.S. and how much energy I use, |
| 1:06.0 | that's enough energy to fuel a normal laptop for two years. |
| 1:09.0 | So while you're eating your dinner, think about the energy that was given to you by the oil and gas industry to make your Thanksgiving dinner even possible. The other thing I think is really cool, Michael, is that did you know that turkey wasn't even on the first Thanksgiving menu? Yeah, well, no, I think I heard about that. It wasn't real. Well, the first Thanksgiving was a long time ago, right? |
| 1:28.3 | I don't even know if they had turkeys back then. |
| 1:30.7 | Yeah. |
| 1:31.0 | I wasn't born. |
| 1:31.8 | You and I weren't born yet. We were close. We were not. Yeah, that's right. I guess 1,600's the first Thanksgiving. Something like that, yeah. No turkeys. So what did they have if they didn't have to? |
| 1:41.6 | Venison, which is deer meat, duck, goose, oysters, lobster, eel, and fish. |
| 1:45.7 | Remember, they're on the Upper East Coast. |
| 1:47.9 | It's, it's fun. You know, here in Texas, you don't have to explain that venison is deer meat. Right. We already know that. The other thing is the cranberries were actually eaten as a dessert, which I cannot imagine. If you've ever had a raw cranberry, they're super sour. Well, surely they put some sugar in there with them, right? They had that. I mean, maybe the Indians helped them with that, right? A little bit of honey with the cranberries. Right, right, right, something like that. They must have. They must have. They're tart. Yeah, and then the pumpkins weren't a pie. They ate the pumpkin as a gourd as a squash, which a lot of the world does that. |
| 2:19.7 | So anyway, so big difference between the first Yeah, and then the pumpkins weren't a pie. They ate the pumpkin as a gourd as a squash, which is actually a lot of the world does that. |
| 2:19.7 | So anyway, so big difference between the first Thanksgiving and now, but just thankful for all our listeners, all our new listeners, all our existing listeners. |
| 2:27.3 | What else do we do, Michael? |
| 2:28.5 | Well, so do you want to talk about the turkey? |
