LMAO on the rant! I swear I did not put Brian up to that. It's one of my pet peeves too.

I think he's being old and cranky. :rofl:
Someone has started a thread on "What is baccy?", though.

How did I miss this? I have two JC Ashtons and will have to listen to the replay. Can the show be downloaded? (it would be nice to listen in my car)

Al - Yes, you can listen on your mobile device. If you an an Apple product, you can use iTunes, and if you have an Android product, you can use Podkicker. They both work great.

And He hasn't aged one bit!
On another note... I was just asked to do an Arbitron Radio Survey a week or so ago and I made sure to include the Pipesmagazine Radio Show! I really enjoy it, and need to catch up on the last couple shows!

Thanks! I downloaded I-tunes this morning and have that Jimmy Craig show on a memory stick for my car. I listened to it in the car on a two hour drive to DC today. I didnt have the patience to listen to the show on my laptop; but driving, it is excellent. I'll grab the earlier shows over the weekend, i drive to NJ and NY next week...

This was one of my favorite shows so far. I laughed literally out loud during the rant! I could identify with that one for sure. And keep the trivia coming, Brian :!:

 

[ssjones]

I'd have loved to call in and ask Jimmy some questions. I'm a fan (and owner) of his Ashton pipes but question his curious method of marketing. It was great to hear his history, most of which I was unaware.

 

[gmwolford]

I don't know much, other than what he said on the show, about him or Ashton but I really enjoyed his stories. I think call in questions would be a great addition to the shows format, except this was a pre-recorded interview. Maybe Brian could look into taking Twitter questions in the future as that would be much simpler.

This was my favorite episode to date! I always love learning about the different history and lore behind various pipe marques, and though I don't own an Ashton, find the history behind the company fascinating. Kudos on the music choice and rant Brian. Live and Let Die was my first exposure to Bond as a kid, and will always be my favorite of the series; plus, how can you go wrong with Jane Seymour? As far as the rant is concerned, I couldn't agree more. As a new pipe smoker, it's bad enough trying to make sense of all the terminology, but the abbreviations just add another needless layer of abstraction that just detracts from the joy of the hobby. Plus, I just hate the word "baccy", it's assaulting to the ear and just sounds... odd...

"I just hate the word "baccy""
Roger that!

Don't feel bad Brian, I too was perplexed as to what in the hell a YABO was. I only knew of yabos meaning boobs from the movie "Hocus Pocus" lol. We live in an age of far too many acronyms. I try to only use them when I'm trying to sneak a text to the missus when I'm at work. I'm also a grammar freak and do wish society would lean more towards speaking and writing like they did in the 40's or 50's.
Another great episode. Keep up the good work all of you who are working on the show.
