Speaker 1 (00:00):
Floyd Truhio joining me here in studio on Koa brother,
Good afternoon, Welcome, it's been a while.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
How you been Yeah, well you been doing good. I've
listened to you, so you're doing good.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
Thank you, Ed.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
I appreciate it and I am excited for this. Let's
just talk first before we get into the book, just
very briefly in a nut show. You have an extensive
background in the let's call it fossil fuel industry. You're
taking that experience into this fun book. We'll get to
the book in a moment. What's your experience and background
in this industry on on and gas.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
I entered the industry back in nineteen seventy seven, after
spending three years in the marine corpse. I entered it
at the age of twenty one years old, twenty years
old actually, and went up the ranks.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
And just had a great time.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Spent seventeen years with a company called Evergreen Resources, and
they developed the red Home basin a coubette feel down
by a tree at Colorado. A great organization, great company.
The industry itself is a lot of good people in it.
So it's been a great ride. It's been forty years
in the industry.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
This book is an educational book for kids about what,
if you put it in a nutshell, what's the purpose
of fossil fuels in the classroom?
Speaker 3 (01:09):
But the purpose of course, some kids learn the alphabet
the AA through Z.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
But from my experience from where I come from, it's
to educate the kids and on the benefits of oil
and gas around them. People don't realize that everything around
you is oily gas based, you know, I I. You
have kids that are being taught that foss fields are evil.
But at the same time we're just talking to cell
phone or just even candy out of rapper that's mad
made with with with fossil fuels. So everything is based
(01:35):
on oil and gas. So the whole concept is to
educate people on the bens of oil and gas. Now,
of course it's easier to start education when when they
are at a younger age versus trying to convince someone
in their twenties or thirties have been fed.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
The properbilist off.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Yeah, absolutely, you know, so that you know, there's a
lot of good folks out there. Chris right, for example,
are from Colorado, so they're all very good at educating people.
But they're talking to folks that are, you know, in
college ages and above. I'm trying to reach them when
they're when they're younger, with have an open mind.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
It is a full colored book.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
It has amazing artistic drawings, and every single letter has
different things that are made of fossil fuels in some capacity.
I mean I just opened up to the letter D desk,
drum door, You look at c crans.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
Clips, shock clock, all of these things.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
When we think of oil and gasoloid, we usually we
just think about we're.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Going to the gas station.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
We got to get some gas to fuel our car,
or we think about natural gas to heat our homes.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
This goes well beyond that, doesn't it.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
He goes from the very beginning, as I spoke earlier,
It's like, I'll ask people, name me an industry that
survives without all on natural gas.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
You name me one. I can't. I'm asking you. You
don't ask I'm asking you.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
I cannot, honestly because I well, particularly because I have
this book in front of me that shows all of
these different industries.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
I mean water, the water industry.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Tell me, how do you how does it get transported? Okay,
about the pipe that you use to transport. A matter
of fact, you might in my yard, I have a
sprinter system made of PVC pipe which made from fossil fields.
There you go, the mechanics, the electronics, it's all foss
field based.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Uh. Let's talk about some of those wanna be hippies,
the college kids that might go to a protest and
they've got their iPhones with them and they say, let's
get rid of oil and gas because of climate change,
while carrying their iPhones to film the protest.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Well, I was at a Boulder event here a few
years back and to talk about what they wanted to
ban drilling or fossil fuels and Boulder, Colorado. So go
in the courtroom outside there's some parents with their little
kids at five six yearld kids with it with it
with the magic markers, protesting against against fossil fuelds.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
It's like, what's the magic market made out of? Same concept?
Everything's one gas bag.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
How about if you're a protester, you go out of
the protest and you got a tattoo with that petroleum,
with the clothes, you're wearing everything, your glasses, you know,
you're everything on usual. You have the letter C since
I opened up to this page, I noticed in the
bottom a First of all, you have a picture of
the family in a cave around a fire, looking all cold,
(04:20):
and it's labeled a home without fossil fuels.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Explain that at the bottom of each page.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
What what I do is is first we we show
the ABC's things made from fossil fuels in the classroom.
Then on the bottom of each page we also show
the items in the adventures that Dexter goes through that
are made from fossil fuels. So in this one's see
the letter see it's a cave man scene and it's
a home to the fossil fuels. And this is where
you'd be without fossil fuels in a home zero. There's
(04:46):
nothing out there. It's just just a cave with with
some firewood and fire going on, you know.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
So it says dark and cold red for the sea
word cold as Dad stokes the crackling also read fire
with his hand as a fan. Without fossil fuels, we
would live our lives like the shivering cave man. And
then of course lisz Kran's clips, chalk clock as different
(05:14):
items that begin with the letter C that are made
with fossil fuels in that process. Absolutely, So let's talk
about Dexter for a moment. And I know this is
very near and dear to your heart. When you look
the title of the book Dexter's Adventurous Fossil Fuels in
the classroom, the ABC's of Fossil Fuels, and you have
(05:34):
right on the cover a beautiful drawing of a dog
named Dexter.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
When it said through the book, as we's doing, Yeah,
so talk to us about Dexter.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Matter of fact, I got Dexter in two thousand and three.
I believe it was. It wasn't anyway.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
I used to have a dog, big, big masculine dog,
Kio mixial and you have dog for three yars from
my wife got me this little dog for Father's Day
as a.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Father's Day gift.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
I was like, what kind of dog, King Charles Kevlier,
I was like, a sissy dog, come on, you know,
but just just broke my heart. Just just a great
little dog. So we actually went through this whole prosts
for liven years. He passed away July of last year.
You know, he had a little heartish, you know, but
it was a lot of fun.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
And I met Dexter on multiple occasions, a very sweet,
as you said, fun dog, and he provided you inspiration.
What was it because you know a lot of times
for writers, for authors, for artists, what have you, you
have an inspiration In this case, your dog Dexter provided
that sort of impetus for the book.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
How did you come up with the concept for the.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Book and to make Dexter this central feature where throughout
the book in every scene, there he is.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
Where's Dexter here? Well, he's with the cats fighting.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Over his water bowl, or right here he is on
the motorcycle driving in the passenger seat.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Well, thing about Dexter is is that the inspiration though
this goes back years, you know, being oil and gas
was being demonized so with being the bad guys. So
the concept of the book has been there for a
decade or so, but then Desha came along and it
just kind of fell into place. And it's funny because
when you when the project first started, trying to find
people to say, well, you know, this is kind of dumb,
(07:18):
it's kind of I don't understand how this would work,
you know, But over time people realize that there was
a benefit to this book and teaching educating kids about
oil and gas.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
So and Desha was there the entire time.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
You know, it's you know when you feel down and
you're trying to get some inspiration.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
You know, I just take the little Destri was there
for it, you know. So he was fun. We're enjoy it.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
But right now we're actually looking for another king, Charles Cavalier.
His name will be DJ for Dexter Junior, because we
need him to go with this on a little book
tour to go out there to educate kids about oil
and gas. And it's fun to be able to. It's
like the books and you have the bikes and you
have motorcycles. Scene to pull up in that scene authentic
with an actual haunt of Africa between motorcycle and sidecar
(07:58):
with a dog in the seat.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
You know.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
See, it'll be a lot of Fooskittson rolling, you know.
So the kids will love it.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
That's funny.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
It really is a beautiful book. Dexter'sadventures dot com. We're
going to talk a little bit more about it, but
our text line choa Commas Beard Health text line five
six six nine zero. If you would like a copy
a free copy of this book. Fleudcher Hero is giving
kindly giving five away to our listening audience.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
We are looking for the third.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Fifth, seventh, ninth, and eleventh Texters. Third, fifth, seventh, ninth
and eleventh Texters. That just text dexter, but also put
in your phone. Well actually the phone numbers will show
up on the text line. So put in dexter and
your first name, and Grant will reach out and call
(08:55):
all five of you to get your address so that
Floyd will be able to mail that book their copy,
your copy of the book to you if you are
the third, fifth, seventh, ninth, and eleventh Texters. Five six
six nine zero the KOA Common Spirit Health text line
and this is going to be the new edition that
(09:16):
we'll be coming out in a month.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Talk to spot rack.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Yeah, we had some books supposed to arrive tomorrow in
the nineteenth well we had an issue with it with the printers.
So another thirty days we'll have the actual book in hand,
the edited version ready to roll for the public.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
Five six to six nine zero is the text line.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Just text dexter and your name dexter and your name
to that number to get your copy sent to you
from Floyd. True here Now, Floyd, let's talk about here
in terms.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Of the book, what do you hope to achieve?
Speaker 1 (09:50):
And talk to us for a moment about some of
the partnerships that you are forging.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
Because I noticed that this motorcycle has.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
The Honda logo logo on it, So talk to about
some of these partnerships it does well.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
I reached out to to a number of motorcycer companies
to for the scene, and reached out to American Haunted
Company and within a week I'm talking to their attorney,
and the whole concept is too did you basically just
just get some some folks out there that'll give some
credibility to the book? So I reached out and they
had to have a copy. I gave them a copy
that liked it, so they gave me permission to use
(10:22):
the book, so.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
It gives them a little their credibilities.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
We're trying to accomplish here, which is to educate people
but oil and gas and help them with their reading process.
But also we have six colleges.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
That allow us to use their logo on the back
of the book.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
We have twenty six prehistoric personalized animals back there, and
six of them are wearing the caps or helmets of
of of the logos from these colleges. You have carl
School of Mines, Niversity of Oklahoma, Texas Tech Texas, A
and M, University of Texas in Austin, and also the
University of Saint Thomas in Houston.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
So it was great to have to send them.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
These copies and to get their permission to use their
logos in the book.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
We have all of our winners that have been texting
in congratulations again, third, fifth, seventh, ninth, eleventh textures And
I'm not going to be able to go through the
list because one thing that.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
Happens is the text. It just keeps changing.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
But you will hear from Grant five six, six nine
zero if you want to comment about the book and
offer thoughts what I like about this and why I
wanted you? Have you on Floyd is first of all,
Dexter's Adventures dot com is the website is because.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
I've been waiting with baited breath for a long time.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Like when is this book going to be rolled out?
It's a very you know, you have a lot of
moving parts in this. Is there anything else you want
to talk about with the book or with the fossil
fuel industry and the misunderstandings, what have you before we
let you go.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
The one thing we do with the book is that
what we're gonna do.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Is we're going to donate one hundred percent of the
proceeds of the book sales to charity.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
We actually have.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Six charities and two schools, and I'll release that those
at a later date where you can actually get online
and actually dictated or you don't take your donation to
go to. But also we've reached out that a lot
of folks have this book. Chris Wright, the intersecretary, has
copy of the book. Mandy Connell has a copy, you
have what's your name? Alex Epstein has a copy. There's
(12:23):
a lot of people that have the book right now.
So we're just trying to get it out there into
the general public.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
And I love that you're also trying to get it
into school libraries and more right, yeah, we.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Actually have and I can't mention the name right now.
We have one national organization that we're working with to
get this book out there at the nationwide.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
We have a couple of school districts we're talking to
and again trying to change the narrative with the school
system that has deemed this product evil and all of
a sudden it's good. It's kind of it's a change,
you know, So it'll take a little while to get
into the school system.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
I believe one thing that I will read from the
first page.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
In nineteen hundred, the life expectancy of an individual in
the United States was forty nine years. Today, one hundred
and twenty years later, it is now seventy nine years.
The additional thirty years of life can be directly linked
to research and the breakthroughs in science and medicine which
would not have been possible without fossil fuels. Ain't that
the truth you tell me? Yes, it is. It's remarkable.
(13:24):
I mean, these are the things that people don't know
or understand. And you're not only doing a service here,
you are teaching kids about something in a very fun way.
As I look through the book and everything in it,
from the illustrations to having your family as sort of a.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Part of it without or or throughout the book, and.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
The different stories you have different members of your family
that pop up, and that's really fun.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Good work, Floyd, Thank you, sir Floyd.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Through heel I'll get you cup of the book when
they came into the new version beautiful.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
I look forward to the new one.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Dexter's Adventures dot Com is the website the author, Floyd
tru Hel. Thanks there, Jimmy. Take care once again, Floyd
Rhio
Floyd Truhio joining me here in studio on Koa brother,
Good afternoon, Welcome, it's been a while.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
How you been Yeah, well you been doing good. I've
listened to you, so you're doing good.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
Thank you, Ed.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
I appreciate it and I am excited for this. Let's
just talk first before we get into the book, just
very briefly in a nut show. You have an extensive
background in the let's call it fossil fuel industry. You're
taking that experience into this fun book. We'll get to
the book in a moment. What's your experience and background
in this industry on on and gas.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
I entered the industry back in nineteen seventy seven, after
spending three years in the marine corpse. I entered it
at the age of twenty one years old, twenty years
old actually, and went up the ranks.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
And just had a great time.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Spent seventeen years with a company called Evergreen Resources, and
they developed the red Home basin a coubette feel down
by a tree at Colorado. A great organization, great company.
The industry itself is a lot of good people in it.
So it's been a great ride. It's been forty years
in the industry.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
This book is an educational book for kids about what,
if you put it in a nutshell, what's the purpose
of fossil fuels in the classroom?
Speaker 3 (01:09):
But the purpose of course, some kids learn the alphabet
the AA through Z.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
But from my experience from where I come from, it's
to educate the kids and on the benefits of oil
and gas around them. People don't realize that everything around
you is oily gas based, you know, I I. You
have kids that are being taught that foss fields are evil.
But at the same time we're just talking to cell
phone or just even candy out of rapper that's mad
made with with with fossil fuels. So everything is based
(01:35):
on oil and gas. So the whole concept is to
educate people on the bens of oil and gas. Now,
of course it's easier to start education when when they
are at a younger age versus trying to convince someone
in their twenties or thirties have been fed.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
The properbilist off.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Yeah, absolutely, you know, so that you know, there's a
lot of good folks out there. Chris right, for example,
are from Colorado, so they're all very good at educating people.
But they're talking to folks that are, you know, in
college ages and above. I'm trying to reach them when
they're when they're younger, with have an open mind.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
It is a full colored book.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
It has amazing artistic drawings, and every single letter has
different things that are made of fossil fuels in some capacity.
I mean I just opened up to the letter D desk,
drum door, You look at c crans.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
Clips, shock clock, all of these things.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
When we think of oil and gasoloid, we usually we
just think about we're.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Going to the gas station.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
We got to get some gas to fuel our car,
or we think about natural gas to heat our homes.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
This goes well beyond that, doesn't it.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
He goes from the very beginning, as I spoke earlier,
It's like, I'll ask people, name me an industry that
survives without all on natural gas.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
You name me one. I can't. I'm asking you. You
don't ask I'm asking you.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
I cannot, honestly because I well, particularly because I have
this book in front of me that shows all of
these different industries.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
I mean water, the water industry.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Tell me, how do you how does it get transported? Okay,
about the pipe that you use to transport. A matter
of fact, you might in my yard, I have a
sprinter system made of PVC pipe which made from fossil fields.
There you go, the mechanics, the electronics, it's all foss
field based.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Uh. Let's talk about some of those wanna be hippies,
the college kids that might go to a protest and
they've got their iPhones with them and they say, let's
get rid of oil and gas because of climate change,
while carrying their iPhones to film the protest.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Well, I was at a Boulder event here a few
years back and to talk about what they wanted to
ban drilling or fossil fuels and Boulder, Colorado. So go
in the courtroom outside there's some parents with their little
kids at five six yearld kids with it with it
with the magic markers, protesting against against fossil fuelds.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
It's like, what's the magic market made out of? Same concept?
Everything's one gas bag.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
How about if you're a protester, you go out of
the protest and you got a tattoo with that petroleum,
with the clothes, you're wearing everything, your glasses, you know,
you're everything on usual. You have the letter C since
I opened up to this page, I noticed in the
bottom a First of all, you have a picture of
the family in a cave around a fire, looking all cold,
(04:20):
and it's labeled a home without fossil fuels.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Explain that at the bottom of each page.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
What what I do is is first we we show
the ABC's things made from fossil fuels in the classroom.
Then on the bottom of each page we also show
the items in the adventures that Dexter goes through that
are made from fossil fuels. So in this one's see
the letter see it's a cave man scene and it's
a home to the fossil fuels. And this is where
you'd be without fossil fuels in a home zero. There's
(04:46):
nothing out there. It's just just a cave with with
some firewood and fire going on, you know.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
So it says dark and cold red for the sea
word cold as Dad stokes the crackling also read fire
with his hand as a fan. Without fossil fuels, we
would live our lives like the shivering cave man. And
then of course lisz Kran's clips, chalk clock as different
(05:14):
items that begin with the letter C that are made
with fossil fuels in that process. Absolutely, So let's talk
about Dexter for a moment. And I know this is
very near and dear to your heart. When you look
the title of the book Dexter's Adventurous Fossil Fuels in
the classroom, the ABC's of Fossil Fuels, and you have
(05:34):
right on the cover a beautiful drawing of a dog
named Dexter.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
When it said through the book, as we's doing, Yeah,
so talk to us about Dexter.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Matter of fact, I got Dexter in two thousand and three.
I believe it was. It wasn't anyway.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
I used to have a dog, big, big masculine dog,
Kio mixial and you have dog for three yars from
my wife got me this little dog for Father's Day
as a.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Father's Day gift.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
I was like, what kind of dog, King Charles Kevlier,
I was like, a sissy dog, come on, you know,
but just just broke my heart. Just just a great
little dog. So we actually went through this whole prosts
for liven years. He passed away July of last year.
You know, he had a little heartish, you know, but
it was a lot of fun.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
And I met Dexter on multiple occasions, a very sweet,
as you said, fun dog, and he provided you inspiration.
What was it because you know a lot of times
for writers, for authors, for artists, what have you, you
have an inspiration In this case, your dog Dexter provided
that sort of impetus for the book.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
How did you come up with the concept for the.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Book and to make Dexter this central feature where throughout
the book in every scene, there he is.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
Where's Dexter here? Well, he's with the cats fighting.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Over his water bowl, or right here he is on
the motorcycle driving in the passenger seat.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Well, thing about Dexter is is that the inspiration though
this goes back years, you know, being oil and gas
was being demonized so with being the bad guys. So
the concept of the book has been there for a
decade or so, but then Desha came along and it
just kind of fell into place. And it's funny because
when you when the project first started, trying to find
people to say, well, you know, this is kind of dumb,
(07:18):
it's kind of I don't understand how this would work,
you know, But over time people realize that there was
a benefit to this book and teaching educating kids about
oil and gas.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
So and Desha was there the entire time.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
You know, it's you know when you feel down and
you're trying to get some inspiration.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
You know, I just take the little Destri was there
for it, you know. So he was fun. We're enjoy it.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
But right now we're actually looking for another king, Charles Cavalier.
His name will be DJ for Dexter Junior, because we
need him to go with this on a little book
tour to go out there to educate kids about oil
and gas. And it's fun to be able to. It's
like the books and you have the bikes and you
have motorcycles. Scene to pull up in that scene authentic
with an actual haunt of Africa between motorcycle and sidecar
(07:58):
with a dog in the seat.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
You know.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
See, it'll be a lot of Fooskittson rolling, you know.
So the kids will love it.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
That's funny.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
It really is a beautiful book. Dexter'sadventures dot com. We're
going to talk a little bit more about it, but

Speaker 2 (10:01):
I reached out to to a number of motorcycer companies
to for the scene, and reached out to American Haunted
Company and within a week I'm talking to their attorney,
and the whole concept is too did you basically just
just get some some folks out there that'll give some
credibility to the book? So I reached out and they
had to have a copy. I gave them a copy
that liked it, so they gave me permission to use
(10:22):
the book, so.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
It gives them a little their credibilities.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
We're trying to accomplish here, which is to educate people
but oil and gas and help them with their reading process.
But also we have six colleges.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
That allow us to use their logo on the back
of the book.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
We have twenty six prehistoric personalized animals back there, and
six of them are wearing the caps or helmets of
of of the logos from these colleges. You have carl
School of Mines, Niversity of Oklahoma, Texas Tech Texas, A
and M, University of Texas in Austin, and also the
University of Saint Thomas in Houston.

These copies and to get their permission to use their
logos in the book.

wanted you? Have you on Floyd is first of all,
Dexter's Adventures dot com is the website is because.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
I've been waiting with baited breath for a long time.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Like when is this book going to be rolled out?
It's a very you know, you have a lot of
moving parts in this. Is there anything else you want
to talk about with the book or with the fossil
fuel industry and the misunderstandings, what have you before we
let you go.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
The one thing we do with the book is that
what we're gonna do.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Is we're going to donate one hundred percent of the
proceeds of the book sales to charity.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
We actually have.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Six charities and two schools, and I'll release that those
at a later date where you can actually get online
and actually dictated or you don't take your donation to
go to. But also we've reached out that a lot
of folks have this book. Chris Wright, the intersecretary, has
copy of the book. Mandy Connell has a copy, you
have what's your name? Alex Epstein has a copy. There's
(12:23):
a lot of people that have the book right now.
So we're just trying to get it out there into
the general public.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
And I love that you're also trying to get it
into school libraries and more right, yeah, we.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Actually have and I can't mention the name right now.
We have one national organization that we're working with to
get this book out there at the nationwide.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
We have a couple of school districts we're talking to
and again trying to change the narrative with the school
system that has deemed this product evil and all of
a sudden it's good. It's kind of it's a change,
you know, So it'll take a little while to get
into the school system.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
I believe one thing that I will read from the
first page.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
In nineteen hundred, the life expectancy of an individual in
the United States was forty nine years. Today, one hundred
and twenty years later, it is now seventy nine years.
The additional thirty years of life can be directly linked
to research and the breakthroughs in science and medicine which
would not have been possible without fossil fuels. Ain't that
the truth you tell me? Yes, it is. It's remarkable.
(13:24):
I mean, these are the things that people don't know
or understand. And you're not only doing a service here,
you are teaching kids about something in a very fun way.
As I look through the book and everything in it,
from the illustrations to having your family as sort of a.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Part of it without or or throughout the book, and.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
The different stories you have different members of your family
that pop up, and that's really fun.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Good work, Floyd, Thank you, sir Floyd.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Through heel I'll get you cup of the book when
they came into the new version beautiful.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
I look forward to the new one.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
