You're listening to Country Square Radio.

Welcome to Country Square Radio on Bo.

And I'm John David.

Jady!

Hey, Bo, good afternoon, man.

Man, good afternoon to you, too, sir.

How are you doing today?

Man, doing great.

Yeah, do it good. It feels good to get on mic with you. It's been a couple weeks. And since we've recorded anyway, I know this comes out weekly. But yeah, man, just good to reconnect. And, you know, licking my wounds still from December. But just trying to keep it on the rails, man.

It's all good.

Things are great.

We're, you know, busy around the country squire and just trying to keep my head on straight.

You know, I kind of hesitate to ask, but I kind of want to because obviously today in particular, you know, is, you know, when we record is a little bit different from when the episodes go out. And I know that that's going to mess with people. Yeah, the information that I'm about to ask you about. But today, your website crashed. And I was just curious if you want to talk about that and why it crashed and what's available and whether or not it's still available. Well, okay, this is, this is the? We have spent the last, let's see, I bought the shop. Gosh, folks have been following us throughout this whole process. I bought this business about six years ago. I've worked there about 11 now. And, you know, every time, you know, we come out with something new, we're just very, we've been very fortunate. And we're very blessed and honored, really, that folks are, you know, trusting us with their tobacco needs and eager to support our family business and the folks that, great folks that work for us and all that kind of stuff. But, you know, every time we think we, you know, okay, we're going to come out with this new thing and it's going to be exciting and, you know, there's going to be some rush to get it. And so we've upgraded our

website, we think enough to accommodate all these new friends that we have. And so we, and so every

single time, it's like the, oh, shucks, you know, bashful, you know, tobacco. And it's like, well, no one's probably going to get any of this. So we, you know, no one's probably going to order any of this or whatever. And then, and then they do. And it just shuts our business down for, I mean, our phones don't work at the shot. It's out of control.

You got slammed, man. So literally phones don't work. The internet's not working. The, um, you know, our, uh, our website is, is, is just literally locked up. And so. And this is, of course, you had, uh, an esoteric, wait, no, that wasn't esoteric. No, this is not. What was it the drop?

This, today, as we record, is January 3rd, which is, as, as we all know, is J.R.R. Tolkien's birthday. Yeah. And so we have our annual Tolkien kind of Middle Earth sale first week in January, as if we weren't, you know, crazy enough, like

getting, you know, over the holidays and New Year's and, you know, just, like I said,

licking our wounds like, well, you know, we, we can't miss the opportunity to honor the master

himself. He would have been 130 this year. And man, it's just, you know, it's special. So,

so anyway, we had debuted our sale this week, but then also we came out with a new, a new tobacco.

And that is what we think is kind of pushed this over the edge.
