You're listening to Country Squire Radio.

Welcome to Conspirier Radio. I'm Bo. And today we're doing something a little different.

So as you know, we are in preparation mode for Vegas in the coming weeks. And so for this week, rather than doing a traditional

episode, we're doing kind of a special. This is a highlight on some of our different club members.

I put it out on our Patreon for those that are members of the Country Squire Radio International

Pipe Club to join me this Tuesday, this past Tuesday, for something of a club member hangout. It was a lot of fun.

It was very, you know, relatively last minute. And of course, you know, at noon on a Tuesday. So I realized that not everybody can make it and definitely got some great messages from those of you that wish that you could be with us. And you know what? I think we'll probably do this again.

But I thought this would be a really fun way to really showcase some of our amazing patrons who are making this show happen as well as some incredible club members who are doing some pretty cool things in the pipe world and beyond as you will come to hear about. Got a chance also to get some feedback on the show. And one of the things that you constantly hear us, you know, ask for is to, you know, we want your thoughts, we want your emails. We do our

best to really kind of make that public, too. When we get emails in for good or for ill, we do try to make sure that we're airing those on the show where we feel is appropriate. And so this also kind of gives us an opportunity to not just read people's emails, but give you the chance to hear the voice of those just like you who've been listening to the show, what's working, what's not

working, all that kind of good stuff. So anyway, I hope this will be enjoyable, especially for the chance to hear the voice of those just like you who've been listening to the show,

what's working, what's not working, all that kind of good stuff. So anyway, I hope this will be enjoyable, especially for those of you who are longtime listeners of the show. As I mentioned, since this is not a traditional episode, if this is your first time listening to Country Squire Radio, let's do a different one. And then come back and listen to this. You'll appreciate this more as a long-time listener.

That I can guarantee.

And a major shout-out to the voices that you're about to hear,

which, of course, is John Cotney, Tyler Edwards, and Isaac, who are all able to join us. And yeah, from various places, you know what? I actually, I'm going to let you hear them talk about it. I think it'll be great. So yeah. All right. So light up your pipes and yeah, pull up a chair and enjoy this club member hang out. Just imagine yourself with us.

And who knows, maybe next time you will be. There we go. This is John David used to say

that's his favorite sound in the world is to hear the Zoom recording and progress because

we meant that our backup was in place.

There's only been a few times in the show's history that we had some episodes where the main audio cut out on us.

And either we had the backup or we didn't have the backup.

So learn the hard way.

John, where are you based on?

I'm in Iowa right now.
