[laughs]

It was fully on, yeah, it was fully on blocks.

I mean, he drove it, obviously, as their primary car in the '60s and '70s, and then I think my uncle got it first.

He was the oldest, uh, uh, child in that family.

I think he got it first to use as his daily driver at school, at college.

And I, I don't know if he wrecked it or, or what happened, but I know at some point it made its way back- To my grandfather, and then in his retirement he, uh, completely stripped it down.

Almost started from scra- I mean, like, j- basically redid every part of this vehicle.

Right, right

I guess the highlight or the low light is you're looking at moisture levels that are way below what you had last year.

Yeah.

Within five mile radius, we looked at some malting barley, looked at 200 hectare block and also in around 25th-ish of March, it will take four or five days.

And that's had 20 mils total to date.

So we're at the 28th of May today.

Whereas we go, I think it was about three miles the other way to 190 hectare block.

And that's had 44.5 mil of rain and it's chalk and cheese.

So would you say malting barley is a little bit behind in that whole process of of giving you a clear signal as to what is required and what you're going to get paid? How would you stack malting barley up versus those other crops that you're dealing with?

Is there so much oil there at times during the year when it's not frozen that this is seeping to the surface?

We actually see the oil skims on the rivers.

We've taken the oil, and we have genetically tested it.

It's the same crude as the North Sea.

It's 40-degree, light sweet crude.

And I'll tell you, Dr. Phil, when I've been drilling wildcat wells, and I'm the landman.

I'm not the geologist.

You're not in there in a sleeping bag.

Yeah.

Uh, he says, "It's difficult to be sure whether..." And I, I think he's talking about ancient Gnosticism versus medieval, uh, Manichaeism, Bogomils, and Cathari, and all that.

He says, "We don't know if those groups received the Gnostic doctrines through a no longer discernible underground channel, uh, that, that people were circulating ancient books and, and so forth." I mean, we, we wouldn't necessarily have evidence of it.

It's, any evidence we have is a bunch of fragments.

In that case, it would be, um, uh, what's the word? Um, a dis- uh, dispersion hypothesis, I think, that, that these things, uh, spread out and, and, uh, hitched onto new, uh, frameworks, new cultures, et cetera.

Or is it, uh, structuralism, that the human mind is pretty much, the human brain is the same w- thing with, throughout the whole species, and every part of the world sooner or later has the same conditions that it needs to explain.

And so there, ev- in every religion you're gonna find a menu of options for making sense of it.

It seems, I don't know, S- a Cynic source? [laughs]

First things first, could you just walk us through this new business combination, why you decided now was the right time, and why it's so important?

Yeah, Marlee, thanks for having me on, first of all.

It's very important for the U.S. and even European allies to look beyond the Strait of Hormuz and hostile supplies of oil.

What we've been doing in Greenland with up to 13 billion barrels of oil is drilling our first two wells this year.

That is a friendly jurisdiction.

I am old enough to remember the 1973 embargo on oil.

I was in a line with my dad.

So as they're listening and watching, why should investors look at Greenland Energy Company now, your new business combination, as a differentiated way to play this global energy security play right now?

Just talk us through, you know, where you fit in the picture right now and, you know, why you're endeavoring to do this in this type of market.

Yeah, that's a good question.

And the oil, U.S. oil industry, they have really leaned in on U.S. shells.

And U.S. shells, their profitable or their break-even is between $61 and $70 a barrel, as we saw today with prices right around $59.

They're going to stop leaning in on that.

And if they want to replace reserves and they want to grow, there are other basins that could be drilled.

And so this is one of the only left basins that has never been drilled.

And then also, of course, what OPEC Plus has been doing with respect to, you know, obviously some modest price, or I should say, quota production hikes before hitting the pause button on what are some supply, CONCERNS HERE.
