The Hootie spokesman looked just like some video game dictator. 😂 I guess they forgot about the last time that Uncle Sam slapped them around? 😂😂😂

Cool. Do you put the butter on the toast after it's toasted or melt the butter then easily spread it?

98% of Americans don't know what a Houthi is and could not find Yemen on a map of only Yemen.

Is the person at the start of this video a real Houthi leader or just an actor from SNL?

This video looks like a rejected script from an old call of duty video game.

Markets run on good vibes only. They stopped following sane economic principles since 2008.

That's a great question, Brendan. I'm curious how exactly traders "price in" these risks before the actual blockades happen?

It's worrying how quickly these tensions can ripple through to the pump. If both the Red Sea and the Strait of Hormuz get squeezed at once, we're looking at some serious volatility. Do you think the markets have already priced this risk in, or are we in for a big shock?

This is such a heavy watch, but so important for understanding why prices keep jumping. The part about the Strait of Hormuz really puts the scale of the risk into perspective. Do you think these disruptions are becoming the new normal for energy markets?
