No, sir.

Welcome to Country Square Radio. And I'm Joe. And I'm John David.

Jay-D. Hey, Bo. Good morning, man. Man, good morning. It's you too, sir. How are you doing this morning?

Yeah, I'm doing okay. Yeah? Yeah, I'm doing okay. Had a great breakfast. And, man, fun time. Fun time with my friend Bo. I tell you what, man. It's a beautiful day. The sun is shining and we're here together and that's, that is always a day to celebrate. Yeah, it is. Man, it feels good just to disconnect a little bit. So, yeah, man, Country Choir radio and yeah glad to be here listen I'm really glad because this is one of those episodes

and little bit. So, yeah, man, Country Squire Radio. And, uh, yeah, glad to be here.

Listen, I'm really glad because this, you know, this is one of those episodes and, you know, this is one of those series that I am so glad, uh, that we're, we're, we're returning to and, and it's kind of like a mainstay of Country Squire Radio. And of course, I'm talking about the Pye Smoking 101 series.

You know, we've done this show for years on years now.

And one of the episodes that we always see to get a big response is the Pipe Smoking 101.

Yeah.

And more often than not, we're covering topics that are very specifically and intentionally geared towards the new Pipe Smoker. It's in the name. I mean, it is. And I mean, yeah, I think people seek it out because of the, you know, it's a resource, right? So it's, oh, if I'm new to this, like, what, what contents out there for me? They find Country's Choir Radio and they find other podcasts, you know, and they're like, well, okay, what, what in their, you know, plethora of content do they have that might actually be useful to be? And then, you know, and this pops up. So, yeah, it's helpful. I think I hope. That's the, we hope. I mean, I think when it comes down to it, that is really the truth right there. But yeah, so we hope this is helpful to people.

And we also hope that it's helpful, not just to new pie smokers, but also to kind of the more seasoned amongst us. Yeah. You know, this is kind of an invitation for longtime pipe smokers to kind of, you know, drop in, let us know what we got wrong. And then also hopefully, you know, educate some of the up andand-coming as well. Right. But this is fun,

man, because we're going to be doing almost kind of like a mini-series within a series. Yeah.

This is like Country Squire Radio Inception to some extent because we're, we're doing pipe smoking 101, but we're specifically for this episode and then the next one that we'll do in the series,

we'll be talking about getting started with a very specific set amount of money. Yeah. And it's, it's one of those topics, it's one of those things that for the very newest pipe smoker who's walking into a pipe shop for the first time, it's not top of mind. But it should be, and it becomes top of mind very quickly as soon as they walk through the door and they see some of these price points.

Yep.

But it's just not something that you really consider.

And so I think, and I could be wrong, but I hope this is the case.

As we talk this episode and then the next one that will come up in the series is we talk about these different price points, I think what we're going to find is that the relevancy is going to be good for that

first time boot in the store customer. Yeah. And for that seasoned customer who's looking to

like either spend a little bit more or, you know, maybe they want to up their game. So to

up their game or maybe take it to another level or just try to treat themselves to, you know, some nicer hardware.

So yeah, I'm excited, bad.
