War Anxiety

Then it's Ken show 97.1, the eagle.

We're going to be giving away breaking Benjamin ticket sometime in the next two hours.

Be listening for your chance to win or go to the show.

It's at Dickey's in October.

Will Ferrell's in a brand new TV show.

What is it?

We'll tell you in 15 minutes.

But first,

the

another edition of things in his track.

All right.

I'm not super dialed in on the war.

All right.

I know it's going on.

You don't have with the war.

It's not a war.

It's an entanglement.

I'm kind of keeping track with the entanglement.

But last night before I went to bed,

I was seeing news of those two oil tankers that got bombed.

And as part of the news,

I heard them talking about a run suggesting $200 of barrel.

Have you guys been following this?

No.

Oh, what's you just realized if this does happen?

And we're in a thing right now where it's,

it's threats, right?

Yeah.

Trump said, Hey, if you bomb anything going through that straight,

we're going to like bomb you worse than we've already bombed you.

And Aron said, cool.

And they bombed two tankers and said,

get ready for $200 of barrel.

So this is what happens when, you know, giant people bow up to one another.

Do you guys know what that's going to do to your gas?

I'll double it.

We're talking probably $9 a gallon.

Yeah.

Is everybody prepared for $9 a gallon of gas?

No.

It's a good time to buy a Tesla.

That my wife.

Okay.

So our neighbors, they just got a Tesla.

And we saw one of our buddies in electrician.

I was over there installing the charging station.

And we're standing there looking at that going, uh-huh.

Doesn't work.

Well, what do we, but then I'm like, okay, even if we spend the money and get one,

we got three other cars in the household.

So anyways, I'm like, I'm about ready for $9 a gallon.

I don't think it'll go to nine, but what if it's $200 of barrel?

I'm following all that, too, and it's, it's terrifying.

And you know, there were reports yesterday that Iran could attack the West Coast with drones

or something.

I don't know if you guys saw that.

I actually saw that.

Yeah.

There's, there's talk that, um, they put a bunch of mines in that straight, where all

that oil comes out of what is it called?

Uh-uh.

The straight of hormones.

Yeah.

The straight of hormel chilly.

Yeah.

Straight of hormel chilly.

It's the thickest ocean, uh, with beans.

That's the thickest ocean.

Everyone says it, uh, but they put, it sounded like they take like pool noodles and put like

a little boat motor on it for like $4 and then just drag a bunch of mines everywhere

out there.

Oh, wow.

And you're like, I don't, okay, I guess this could blow stuff up like, you know, and so

yeah, I, I followed all it's terrifying.

Also the, um, the United States, we sent over the plane that is, uh, the nuclear plane.

It's the plane that's, uh, it's the doomsday plane, the doomsday plane.

It flies around and it can communicate to the submarines, when to go ahead and launch

nuclear missiles.

So like the fact that that is even in play in the war theater or whatever they call it

is like terrifying.

It's scary.

They could end up deciding to drop a nuke like it's like, what the hell?

We, you know, we haven't even thought about this, you know, and so long, Ben and I grew

up during the Cold War, peak Cold War, Russia, America, you know, there was movies about

it.

Mutant popular sting had a song about it called, I hope the Russians love their children

too.

Like you guys can't imagine the anxiety in the 80s of we're all going to blow each other

up, aren't we?

And so that was, you know, pounded into your head.

But the whole thing of like, okay, Iran, you better do what we say.

You just killed every one of their leaders like, they're probably not listening.

They probably are like, you know, the guy who's in charge now, it's like, oh, remember

when you just killed my dad, I'm not happy with this.

I'm not listening to you.

And a lot of stuff that I, you know, I'm not an expert in any of this as you well know,

but like I see, okay, so Russia is attacking Ukraine.

And we're not in that, but we are giving them a ton of stuff.

Yeah.

And then so Russia is not really, and China is not really involved in us with this

fight with Iran, but they are kind of helping them giving them stuff.

So I'm like, you know, no one is like getting drug off sides into the next world war,

but it seems like we're flirting with it.

We're definitely flirting with it.

And Russia is definitely giving Iran information like we know that.

But you know, that's the way it's always been like, I mean, going back for decades and

decades, when we had issues with Iran back in the 70s and, you know, Russia occupied Afghanistan.

For so, I mean, that's just, that's what part, that part of the world is.

They're all touching one another.

They're all connected.

It's, we, we were truly isolated up until we did bomb Japan, right?

Going back to two weeks before the conflict began and the El Paso airport shut down for

like a few hours and like some emails were sent off like, well, maybe it wasn't as extreme

and then they stopped.

And then we still didn't find Nancy Guthrie.

Yeah.

It's a great point.

All right.

There he goes.

I like it.

He turned it there.

Chris.

Let's turn it back to entertainment.

Coming up next in the entertainment headlines.

Where are you going to take us, Katie?

Will Farrell is coming back.

But this time on TV next on 971, the ego.
