Welcome to Country Squire Radio. This is Bo.

And today we've got something very special for you.

As we've mentioned on previous episodes, there's been an event that has been scheduled for the Country Squire with Eric Stokeby, literal pipe royalty, making his way to Jackson,

Mississippi, to the Country Squire.

And John David had an opportunity during the

event to sit down with Eric and talk about a lot, to talk about his family, his legacy, his work,

his career, the pipe industry as a whole. And it's just, it's a really, really fantastic

conversation. We're excited to bring that to you this week. It is a little bit of a shorter

episode, as you probably also noticed as well, because it is this very special interview, but we're really proud of it. And we think y'all are going to really enjoy it. As many of you noticed, Ida did quite a number, not just on, you know, the Mississippi Gulf Coast and the surrounding areas, but also really just kind of carving its way through the country as a whole. There was some concern early on about the country squire being in Jackson, Mississippi. And fortunately, we can, we can report that everything is fine, um, that there was some concern about some flooding, especially proximity of the shop to some of the rivers

in the local area. But regardless, many of you have written in, and I just wanted to let you all

know, we are fine. I'm fine here in Houston. John David is fine in Jackson. But, you know,

a lot of people were severely impacted by Ida. So y'all just be praying for your neighbors

around the country who are still recovering

from that.

And yeah, it's, but the shop, the shop still stands and is okay.

But I did want to put some folks mind at ease about that who had written in.

Y'all before kicking it over to the interview, I want to first let y'all know that, of course,

this podcast is made possible by those of you supporting us at patreon.com slash country squire
