Windows, you know, your PC. As in like computer windows. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So Windows had an update,

and it forced its update upon me. I had no idea that this was happening, but it happened. And then

once it happened, all of my sound equipment in the studio ceased to work. So I have over a1,000 worth of paperweights currently in the studio. Well, it looks like you didn't pull all your hair out. Whew. That's terrible, man. It's going to be a rough morning trying to get it all worked out. But fortunately, the, uh, our, our Squire studio. All faithful right here. Right. It was, uh, it was unaffected. Yeah, man.

Nothing like a classic right there.

So we're rocking and we're rolling.

We're here to be here.

Actually, before we got started today and got everything set up, I was able to come by the shop before you closed, got to meet two listeners, Z and Bree.

Z and Bree, yeah.

Yeah, two listeners, 18 and I think Bree might be closer to 20, but yeah, two young, new pipe smokers, man, real enthusiastic about it. And, yeah, they've been listening to the podcast very faithfully, and we're happy to have them around. Z had this look on his face when I walked in. I could kind of tell something he was of tell he knew who he was, but he wasn't sure how to tell me. And I've seen that look before. Well, you know, a lot of y'all, when I've been able to meet you before, you have this look like, okay, I've been listening to him for a long time. And it's cool. You know, if you ever meet me, just let me know that you listen to the show and uh and kind of helps me know that you've heard me ramble about. Whenever they first meet us, they're always like, they do look like hobbits.
