Welcome to Country Squire Radio.

And I'm John David.

And I'm John David.

Jay-D.

Hey, Bo. Good afternoon, man.

Man, good afternoon to you too, sir. How you doing today? I'm doing okay, man. It is wide open around here at the Country Squire, so we're just rocking and rolling, dude, as we're recording. It is, you know, still the thick of the holiday season. And so I know this, you know, recording will come out after Christmas and after New Year's probably and all that kind of stuff.

Oh, yeah.

But yeah, it's just, we're exhausted, man.

I'm looking forward when this episode does air, I'm hopefully going to be coming up for air for a couple of days, just a couple of days.

But I really am looking forward to coming up for a little bit of air and maybe taking a day off and, man, rewarding our employees with some time as well. So it's been, it's been wide open, man, but we're very thankful, successful 2022. And we're just very blessed. So, yeah. Awesome, man. Well, listen, we've got, we've got, who, some major things coming down the pipeline to share with y'all in the very near future. But one of the things that we've done historically on Country Square Radio at the beginning of the year is we try to set up the new pipe smoker right. And I think it's safe to say as a series, maybe not an individual episode, although it's possible as an individual episode, but as a series, one of our most popular series on Country Squire Radio has been the pipe smoking 101 series. And it makes sense. Yeah. Yeah, man. So many people are jumping online, trying to get the answers to a lot of different questions.

And one of the reasons why for so many years we've done this as kind of like the beginning of a new year is because there's a lot of folks that may have for the very first time over

Christmas received their first pipe.

And now are kind of with this mindset of like, what do I do? Where do I go?

How do I enter into this world? Exactly. And so it's just a great opportunity to really kind of,

you know, get our focus on that brand new pipe smoker. And even not somebody, you know, maybe you

didn't just get it for, for Christmas. Maybe you're picking it back up after Christmas or maybe

just in general, you found this episode a year or two later because you were

looking for for content to kind of get get started and uh and this can hopefully serve you in that way

we have here on country squire radio our audience is built up with both new and long time pipe

smokers you got you got you got a lot of gray hairs you got a lot of no, you got a lot of gray hairs, you got a lot of no hairs, you got a lot of fresh hairs, you got all these, you know, I was saying, man, you got excluded, right. Yeah, well, we're kind of a mixture of all of those things. I've got a little less hair on the top of my head, but I still got some, you know, we got a little, some gray hairs Here in there. You got a nice tuft up front, man, yeah.

Literally just a tuft, exactly. But no, this is a great opportunity to really kind of focus our attention on that brand new pipe smoker and try to address some of the concerns that exist. And that is why for our pipe smoking 101 episode this week, we are talking about the biggest challenges to getting started into the pipe smoking world.

Yeah, Yeah. I think you're right. It's one of those things
