HOUR ONE PLAY HARD:  Jason Spiess and Sterling discuss the Reaction News Networks and how they are shaping the conversation with speculation disguised as news.

Jason talks about an interview he did with Neil Howe, co-author of “The Fourth Turning. In the book referenced, they apply their generational theories to the cycles of history and locate America in the middle of an unraveling period, on the brink of a crisis. How you prepare for this crisis–the Fourth Turning–is intimately connected to the mood and attitude of your particular generation. Are you one of the can-do “GI generation,” who triumphed in the last crisis? Do you belong to the mediating “Silent Majority,” who enjoyed the 1950s High? Do you fall into the “awakened” Boomer category of the 1970s and 1980s, or are you a Gen-Xer struggling to adapt to our splintering world? Whatever your stage of life, “The Fourth Turning offers bold predictions about how all of us can prepare, individually and collectively, for America’s next rendezvous with destiny.

The two also read emails that have come into [email protected]

The first email asked who won the March Madness Tournament. Jason and Sterling reply with the winner Elite Energy Services, and also talk about the Final Four prizes – a Pelican stainless steel The Crude Life travel tumbler.

The second email asks about the “positive message” to start each Play Hard Work Hard episode. Jason explains how they are originally written each day and original content is a major part of The Crude Life’s business model.

The conversation veers into how the Internet is primarily 90-95% reaction to the 5-10% original content. Jason compares and explains the difference between Original Content to Reaction Content in the traditional media and social media.

The paradigm shift of Oil and Gas is also discussed. Jason shares his experience going belly up in 2009 when the Communication industry was going through their Big Data Paradigm Shift and cites interviews with CEOs and Board Members who referenced the “paradigm shift” in oil and gas.

The third email is from the Energy Pragmatist Stephen Heins who wanted to be interviewed about ESG. We obliged and interviewed Stephen this week and he anointed himself the “Doubting Thomas of ESG”.

Jason and Sterling do an exercise of Musk Math for a business trip from Fargo, ND, to Odessa, TX in the Permian Basin. Day One starts in Fargo with the plan to stay in Kansas.

If Jason drove a Tesla 3 and left Fargo at 7am, he would arrive to Sioux Falls, SD around 11am. A Tesla 3 can drive about 275 miles at 70mph on a full charge. Sioux Falls is 250 miles. It takes 10 hours for a Tesla 3 to fully charge.

Day One of the business trip now has Jason in Sioux Falls and it is 9pm. Time to get a room and spend the night. Sterling and Jason talk about the new expenses and time adjustments with the Travelin’ By Tesla reality.

Tune in tomorrow to see how far Jason can get on his business trip to the Permian Basin in a Tesla 3.

Other topics of discussion during the Play Hard segment NFL Draft, Catholic Guilt, Golden Shovel alternatives, modern-day lepers and kissing hand and shaking babies.

HOUR ONE PLAY HARD:  Jason Spiess and Sterling start the show off talking about the group of high school kids making their way from the East Side of North Dakota to the Bakken BBQ to hand out DAPL Smoked ESG Potatoes. The high school kids are part of a program started in 2015 called The Bakken Bridge, an east west education and awareness program.

Other items of note from the Bakken BBQ:

* Raise Money for and Experience with Make A Wish * First Reponders Honored All Evening* The Bakken Bridge* Mich Hager, president, K9 Pipe Inspections * Bismarck Mayor Steve Bakken* What DAPL Smoked ESG Potatoes are* Why Men’s Health was at the Bakken BBQ * The Power of a child’s courage

The Play Hard segment continues as Jason and Sterling pontificate what owning a Tesla EV would really be like as a professional.

Jason started doing Musk Math, which made Sterling bored real fast. However, Sterling quickly was drawn back into the conversation as the reality of the Musk Math made no sense in today’s marketplace.

The two began calculating just how long it would take to drive a Tesla EV car from Fargo, ND to Odessa, TX in the Permian Basin. Normally the trip can be done in 20-22 hours, depending on traffic and detours. With a Tesla, The Crude Life would have to stop in Sioux Falls, SD to charge for 10 hours.

Jason points out the amount of investment the new Joe Biden Infrastructure plan has earmarked for EV cars compared to roads, bridges and pipelines should make people pay attention now. He also commented how interesting it is that our tax dollars are paying for much of the infrastructure for EV cars while Tesla seems to be the one who profits. It’s Musk Math dude.

HOUR ONE PLAY HARD:  Jason Spiess and Sterling are joined by “Professor” Stephen Heins who was involved with the AOL/Time Warner Merger, the largest corporate merger in history.

The three discuss ESG (Environmental Social Governance) from a broad spectrum. Stephen anoints himself the “Doubting Thomas” of ESG.

From there, the three discuss how the movement is used, and can be used further, to control, tax and regulate all aspects of life. Jason asks Stephen his views on Climate Envoy John Kerry and Climate Czar Gina McCarthy.

Stephen reminds that on programs like The Crude Life, he and others have been warning the industry on record for years regarding the increasingly alarming behaviors from Gina McCarthy.

Out of touch administrations and “Velvet Glove” leaders are also bantered about in the Play Hard segment.

Jason asks if Sterling or Stephen see the ESG as another Dot Com Boom Bust Bubble. Some will make money and some will go bankrupt. This vein of conversation veered back to the AOL/Time Warner merger and some of the growing pains learned in business.

The comparison of the Government Backed Telco industry trying to hold back and/or compete with the upstart Cable Companies who were primarily using their own technology and money.

George Bush Sr’s magical milk money, SEC’s role in ESG, the “naughty document” and questioning the strategy of how oil companies are continuing to fund the same people who got them into the mess they are currently in. A ten year body of work involving public relations, regulatory battles and industrial image are drivers and examples of those conversations.

Jackie Jenkin and Tiffany Steiner, Co-Founder of the Bakken BBQ

The Bakken BBQ is fastly approaching and some Bakken residents will

get Oinked in May. As a part of an awareness campaign, the Bakken BBQ

will be placing Pink Pigs in the front lawns of home owners and

businesses.

“You can oink a friend, family member, co-worker, neighbor or anyone else you feel like messing with. It will cost a small fee to have our pink oinkers placed in your yard of choice. These pigs will sun themselves for two days and then will mysteriously waddle to another yard,” Steiner and Jenkins said. “This oinking is done in good spirits and is not meant to be mean.”

Last year, practicing safe and healthy guidelines, The 8th annual

Bakken BBQ was able to raise $100,000 for Make-A-Wish North Dakota,

$3,000 to the Dickinson BackPack Program, $1,000 to Women Empowering

Women for elderly women and $1,000 to a local family!

Spiess, who is also the emcee of the Bakken BBQ, mentions how The

Crude Life is participating this year in another awareness campaign at

the BBQ. He explains why there is ESG symbolism in the smoked potatoes

at the Bakken BBQ.

As a cancer survivor, Spiess has modified his diet, which includes much less meat than an average American.  

“Potatoes are a great symbol of diversity because they can be baked,

stuffed, mashed or even smoked. Potatoes are versatile, delicious, and

nutritious,”  Spiess said.  “The potato is an great vegetarian option to

put your BBQ on.”   

The potatoes that will be used for the BBQ were grown on a farm

outside of Dawson, ND, and will be cooked in a recycled and repurposed

piece of the Dakota Access Pipeline.  

DAPL BBQ is a small business and available for catering jobs up and down the Bakken oil fields.

The Crude Life will also be working as an Environmental Energy Ambassador during the Bakken BBQ with The Bakken Bridge,

an East/West energy awareness program for North Dakota.  High school

students from the Fargo Moorhead area will be attending the Bakken BBQ,

handing out potatoes as well as learning first hand about the oil and

gas industry and environmental energy.  

“We are very excited to add the potatoes to this year’s event,”

Jenkin and Steiner said.  “Every year we try to add new ideas and

experiences to include as many people as possible.  We are very excited

about The Crude Life’s smoked potatoes.”  

In addition to The Crude Life’s Smoked Potatoes, The Bakken BBQ’s Get

Oinked Campaign and the regular offerings like bouncy castles, face

painting and a live auction; The Bakken BBQ will honor and celebrate

First Responders as part of the event.    

A first responder is a person with specialized training who is among

the first to arrive and provide assistance at the scene of an emergency,

such as an accident, natural disaster, or terrorism. First responders

typically include law enforcement officers, paramedics, EMT’s and

firefighters.  

The Bakken BBQ will be honoring their service all night on stage and at the event.

The 9th Annual Bakken BBQ is Friday June 18 at the West River Ice Center in Dickinson, ND.  For more information email  [email protected] or [email protected]
