10-2-26 - 10am - Iran & Oil and The Penny

This episode is a wild ride, folks, as our host takes us on a journey from the Strait of Hormuz to the world of coins. We're talking geopolitics, economics, and a dash of humor as our host shares some personal anecdotes and digs into the latest news.

This episode is all about the Strait of Hormuz, where the US Navy has been working to keep the oil flowing despite Iran's attempts to disrupt it. Our host breaks down the latest numbers and explains how the situation is affecting the global oil market. But it's not all serious business - our host also shares some hilarious stories about his own experiences with the US postal service and the importance of being prepared for the apocalypse.

You'll also hear our host discuss the recent news about the US Mint stopping production of pennies, and how this might affect the economy. He dives into the details of the Common Sense Act, which aims to make it easier for businesses to round down or up to the nearest nickel when making change. And, as always, our host takes a few detours into the world of pop culture and personal stories.

If you're curious about the latest developments in the Strait of Hormuz, the impact of the penny shortage, or just want to hear some entertaining stories, tune in to this episode for a unique blend of news, humor, and insight.
