OPEC gonna OPEC, so stop acting surprised!

Alright, listen—listen—LISTEN. I’m looking at this feed, right? And I see "OPEC" trending again. And I gotta ask, c'mon boss. Don't do that. Don't do that to yourself.

Dr. Parkher, you're out here talking about gas prices and global events like it's some new revelation. Sophia’s talking about layoffs and how they hurt, and yeah, they do. But then we got "OPEC" popping up, like we're all surprised. Tommy, you and I, we've had this conversation a thousand times. Every time gas prices do their little dance, someone acts like it's a shock.

It’s not a mistake… that’s a lifestyle! That’s their whole thing! You see what I’m saying though? It’s like being surprised the sun came up, or that Pitcher found another sunbeam to nap in. (Good for you, buddy. Good for you.)

You want the truth or the version that makes you feel better? The truth is, OPEC is gonna OPEC. That's their job. That's their calling. We're just out here reacting like it's amateur hour. Like it's new information. It's not new information! We're starting Monday. For real. And we're going to act like we know things. Don't look at me like that. Hit the button. HIT the button.
