The ego be listening for your chance to win totes tickets are coming to the Longhorn Ballroom, the historic. Longhorn Ballroom in May. All right, we got Christina's cookie jar here in 15 minutes. What creeped her out last night? She'll give you the CD details. But right now, it's time for this. Give me that news, Quikki. I guess one of the biggest stories over the weekend is the attack on Iran. Has that 2am news dump on Saturday morning?

1:00That was crazy. Imagine being at the bar till 2am. I don't really do that too much anymore. Imagine being out at the bar till 2am and you get the alert on your phone. I mean, we're starting a war. Yeah. Whoa, I'm real drunk. What is going on? With my kids being 18, my son being 18 and my daughter's boyfriend being 20 and him not being in college, I immediately had the flashback to when the golf war started. Me and Ben were probably 19 or 20 somewhere in there. And I was out of college at the time. I'd flunked out of college and just there was so much talk about reinstituting the draft at that time. He was a big national news store. And I remember thinking, I need to go and roll in some classes right now. My God. But you do think about those things. There's a lot of people who choose to be in the military and that's what they want. My son is not one of them. My daughter's boyfriend is not one of them. But when you think about wide scale escalation of stuff, you do have those thoughts and it becomes very personal for you. Bob McNally is the former White House energy advisor

2:03for George W. Bush. And here's what he said, that crude oil prices will likely rise by $5 to $7 per barrel. So what are they currently, do you know? No. How does that impact gas prices? Because I don't really buy oil by the barrel. Yeah, we should be buying more oil by the barrel. Buy more things by the barrel. Right. Here's the TikTok thing. Because my wife last night, do you guys know how gas prices raise what happens? Like if there's some shipping of it, yeah, you goes to a halt. The place that sells you gas has to run out of gas before they jack up the price. This, that's what the regulation is. They're not supposed to be able to go, oh, Iran was bombed. We just doubled the price of gas. It, there's a trickle down effect. Yeah. They're not supposed to raise the prices until that's what all the regulations are about. So like my wife was, she goes, did you see gas prices went up 50 cents? It was like, there's no way they went up 50 cents in 24 hours

3:05because every place didn't run out of gas. This is just, but it's preparing. It's that speculation of, okay, will this impact 50 cents a gallon or a dollar a gallon? Or any of those things? The waterway and question here's the one between Iran and the United Arab Emirates. And it's called the Strait of Hormuz. So if that straight were to be closed, like if a, remember when the, the INAS canal shut down a little bit when that ship gets stuck in it, I love it. If that straight were to shut down due to the threat of war, Bob McNally, the former White House advisor said, it would be a guaranteed global recession. So that's not great. That's not great. Okay, here's the deal. In early March, it was trading at $76 or so per barrel. Yeah, he thinks it's going to get above 90 per barrel. Yeah, maybe even $100 per barrel. So wanna start talking in the office break room and things per barrel just to see if it gets a good attention.

4:07But if you look at, if you just think about the percentage of that, you know, mid 70s going to 90, then you can expect gas prices. What is gas per gallon right now, do y'all know? The average is $298 last week. So then the United States. So they're just doing the math on that. You're guessing it's going up to $370 or $380 or something like that in pretty quick order. And the reason that that is acceptable is because we beat the crap I ran like I was. Why is this happening? It's all a masking. I don't know. I don't know anything. There's a long history though of pushes and pulls with this. Like if we get a hurricane that comes through and destroys oil fields and Louisiana, then we have another, you know, it happens all the time. It's why there's so much talk about what our dependency is on, you know, natural resources for energy. And that's why there's a push for, some people want to push for nuclear energy.

5:09Some people want to push for solar energy. The idea is if you're not reliant strictly on this resource, well, then you're not as beholden to the volatility of global events impacting how much your daily life costs. So I ran would not agree to stop building a nuclear weapon. That's basically, and that's why we were like, we'll screw you and now they've got a council now like releating their country because they don't have a leader anymore to kill them. New day. I saw three US jets were shot down by friendly fire. Just had a little fun. Top gun and everything. I think Kuwait shot him down on accident. Oh, wow, hang it, goose brutal. So the last I saw three US lives have been lost if y'all seen an update on that. No, no. But, you know, we'll probably not track the war too much, but if we do, anything happens to we'll let you know. And the words of Ross Pro Sr. when he ran for president and I think 1992. I can't remember exactly when it was a long time ago.

6:09These people say they can have stability in the Middle East. Hell, there ain't been stability in the Middle East in centuries. And this is what you get. Yeah, still going. Also, he sounded a bit like a kind of a sonic waitress or a dairy queen waitress, right? Tellers. Yeah, a little bit. All right, coming up next, Christina, where are you going to take us to the cookie jar? Yeah, that's something pretty creepy happened to me last night. I'm wondering if you guys have dealt with this. I'll tell you what it is next on the ego. Tyler Reddick here from 2311 Racing. Victory Lane. Yeah, it's even better with Chumba by my side. Race to ChumbaCasino.com. Let's Chumba.
