#65: Iran Pokin' the Sh!t Out the Bear

Let's see: Trump pulls out of Iran nuclear accord and applies FOOT-TO-THROAT sanctions on their economy. THEN: (1) Iran blows up an oil tanker in May (2) Iran blows up a second oil tanker in June (3) Iran shoots down an American drone in June (4) Iran blows up half of Aramco facilities in September As long as we ain't attacking them, Iran's gone keep pokin' the bear. Put on your oil seat belts, prices 'bout to go up some more, $75/barrel, maybe $100!? Click listen to her us discuss it all. Our guest this ep was PR gangsta Margy Sweeney (Founder/CEO of Akrete, a top 20 PR/Marketing firm in the US, top 14 in The Chi). Check her out at www.akrete.com. We also kicked it with Margy's daughter Maddy - a comedian! Check her out on The You Never Know Show, a new sketch comedy show on Twitch TV this fall, youneverknowshow.com & IG@youneverknowshow. Tho the Fed cut rates last week, this whole Iran-Saudi thing could act as a bubble prick as oil prices continue to rise IMO. (I don't think most people understand - we almost went to WAR this week y'all!) We then hit up vaping and the proposed ban - Margy had a TON of opinions because she does PR/Marketing for cannabis companies! We got her hot take on wassup with vaping, especially with cannabis oils. Sit back, relax. Enjoy the episode. Peace, y'all.
