I’m in the industry. This podcast had potential, but it’s a distorted narrative tilted towards Leftist talking points. Watch Landman, but ignore this nonsense.

You talk about all the good part of being in west Texas but you’re interviewing people that hate what we do in Texas. If you don’t like our state for what we do, then leave the state. Go to a democrat state.
Loved it!
