Life Is Good And I'm Not Letting You Mess It Up

[@HorsesArePeople2]

As Saint Ambrose once said "No one heals themselves by wounding another" I pray that these detractors will find peace and happiness one day

[@matthewmenice5490]

As a young person, and even as a fundamentalist Protestant, I can say you, your internet content, pipe related or otherwise, and especially your website has had a noticeable positive impact on my life, and I’m certain dozens of others may say the same. I pray that God bless and keep you and your family in good health and spirits. 🥃

[@chelogonzales8418]

Someone once told me, “one who angers you, controls you “. Continue to be happy. I appreciate you!

[@markodams5857]

That’s fantastic way to think , thank you 🙏🏻

[@BlakesPipes]

you are correct. if someone can change your mood, you give them control.

[@tonyg.3696]

Exactly. Remember what happened to Santino.

[@arthuroldale-ki2ev]

YES, SIREE1

[@Kitiwake]

Great

[@Dubtenor]

Dr Harrelson as you know the flak is thickest when you’re over the target, your content is straight out of the top drawer keep up the great work

[@TheNorthGAPiper]

My channel is small, but I have had the privilege on someone telling me I was doing it wrong. It’s your pipe, and your channel do it your way! Everyone else can just hop back on their high horse and ride to the next guy cause they’re not going to stop me. Thank you for the video have a great day sir!

[@jamesherbert1566]

Very classy response!

[@jamesherbert1566]

Lol! I used the term "whack job" myself earlier today! (Not normally part of my vocabulary) I used it to describe the person who lit themself on fire outside the Trump trial

[@AdamSmith-po5pd]

Enjoy and appreciate what you do. I’m a Christian, I smoke pipes and cigars and like the historical content. I’m a northerner but I like hearing a southern context. Glad I found your channel.

[@lcarr1560]

You Sir, are the only person on You Tube with no discernable accent. ( I grew up in MS.....)

[@RomanusVII]

Let them cry, Dr. Harrelson. You got folks who support you, both in the real world and on the internet!

[@OaknShield]

You’re a good guy with a good family with good morals. You spew God,family and country in every video that you make. This world is upside down. You’re in the right path. Some people out there wish they have what you have. Thats why they are jealous cause they cant have your life.

[@oldnestor2685]

I just recently found your videos after discovering the joys of pipe smoking. I am 27 years old and trying to do the best I can for my family, friends, and community. Your videos are providing a perspective that is helping me to live a good and happy life. Thank you.

[@alphacharlietango969]

Hello Dr. Harrelson. I truly enjoy you and your channel. Please accept my encouragement and be yourself!

[@TheHamsteadLife]

As Dewayne says...shrug and walk away" from them. Carry on. Most of us appreciate what your doing.

[@Unreconstructed_Georgian]

Amen!! I couldn’t have said it better myself. The people that wanna gossip and spread lies are those that are just jealous of the success that God has blessed you and your family with. You are a blessing and an inspiration in mine and many others lives. You keep putting it out there and I’ll keep on watching.

[@thesmallshop]

Your content is a breath of fresh air. Please keep going.

[@flyflung]

I heard a guy say that anger is the punishment you give yourself for something somebody else did. Thanks for the video.

[@cherrycola94]

Dr. Harrelson, I have benefited so much from your content. You are a role model of what a gentleman should be. Being a family man with morals and ethics will undoubtedly be attacked by this morally decayed society. It saddens me that you’ve had this experience, since every word you’ve ever posted is clearly to build and to teach. Please, continue to teach us about pipes and tobacco and southern history, about Catholicism, and just about anything else you feel like posting! God bless you and your family.

[@tonyg.3696]

Let no one steal your joy! ‘your heart shall rejoice; and your joy no man shall take from you.’ Jn 16:22

[@OldUncleMike]

I’ll never understand why haters watch what they don’t like. There are plenty in the ytpc that I don’t care for, so I just don’t watch. Let them, or anyone else, do what they want. I’ll watch what I want. Let them without sin cast the first stone. (Something like that). You speak the truth, young one.

[@paulsilva6543]

I support the things you say and I’m glad I stumbled upon your channel. I’m 57 years old and just returning to pipe smoking I share your views and appreciate your content.

[@mikereese15]

Being humble means putting others above yourself and I've seen nothing but that in all of your content. You keep being you and most of us are here for ALL of your content, pipe related or otherwise. God bless

[@tonymaglio9376]

As my mama once told me if you don't have nothing nice to say don't say nothing at all.

[@HEisWorthy-4C]

Alan, we love you brother and we hear your heart. You are right, life is short & while we are here, we need to live quiet respectable lives & in the lane of thankfulness.

[@LaminarSound]

"I don't hold court with mediocrity". I love that. That was the little nudge I needed to remember why I do what I do. Thank you for that sir.

[@jasonw4053]

He says, while filming a video in his car

[@benniebarrow348]

I started watching because of your pipe and pipe tobacco’s discussions. The literary conversations are a bonus. i hope you don’t stop either those . Thanks for your interesting input .

[@TheAy7531]

You can't get rid of me that easily. You post about it, I'll enjoy it.

[@jamesbronner3927]

Anyone who feels the need to attack another person online clearly needs some better hobbies.

[@tennesseebrigadeanv1523]

Absolutely, brother! No one's going to disturb my calm! I'm new to your channel and love the accent. I'm from Tennessee.

[@RobHance]

You’re a well educated and spoken young man You are blessed. I’m my simple opinion that is something that you should and can be proud of I’m new in my pipe journey but you have helped me in many ways getting to a good start. Enjoy your life and your beautiful family. No one has the right to judge another. You’re doing well and you be proud of yourself and your accomplishments. You’re inspiring people and doing something correct or they wouldn’t be taking a notice of you. Good luck and keep up the good work

[@WillySF]

Haters gonna hate. I appreciate your content and your insights

[@johnnyh4666]

I am very new to pipe smoking and was introduced to your channel by a fellow veteran. I am not a mindless follower of group think or popular opinion. I subscribed to your channel because I like your humor and candor on the art of the pipe. Never apologize for being you. I just bought my first pipe, a Peterson short rusticated 150 fishtail due in no small, your opinion. Gentlemen can have civilized discourse without being “nasty.” A difference of opinion is important to human growth.

[@RolsterDMKG]

It's really simple: If you don't like someone or their content, don't watch it. Trolling is out-of-order. We believe in you and your content is appreciated, nay, looked forward to.

[@arthuroldale-ki2ev]

I am not a religious person, but I live by and believe in Christian values, been smoking a pipe now for 59 years and enjoy your videos. I do hope that you go on making them. All the best!

[@honuhalawahalepule653]

Stay the course brother Allen, as I know you will. You can't please all the people all the time. Those who love 'the World' God despise! ♥️

[@TheTandrus]

Ignore them. It bothers them more. Don’t let them ruin the channel for the rest of us. Seriously, your people don’t care and you don’t have to defend yourself to us.

[@CatholicPipeCo]

I feel like you made this video for me. I’m moving into that next chapter. And to embrace mediocrity, or to focus on the negativity that’s ahead… that would be the wrong path. You’re right. Keep your chin up, Doc. Embrace calm. Embrace peace. Embrace JOY! Embrace mercy.

[@bartmerrigan6287]

God bless you good sir. Always a professional gentleman. Please keep it up.

[@markchristensen9546]

What a gentleman. I always appreciate your perspective. I miss the days of being able to disagree with someone and remain cordial. You are about the only pipe channel I watch because I’m able to relate to your comments. I often feel a little talked down to by the YTPC. Bless you and the good work you do!

[@roadwary]

Mr. Harrelson, you have the antidote to YT and all toxicity. Your conviction.

[@tmbgator2]

Your content is great!! Don't change a thing. Thank you for all you do!!

[@herbbrown6588]

You’re a gentleman and a scholar. Stay the course doc. Your content is much appreciated.

[@cartermcguire4263]

Dr. Alan you are a great godly man. It’s awful that people are rude. You have been an inspiration to me to become more “theological” in my life. I greatly appreciate your content!

[@BossHogg38]

It made me laugh when you said "they didn't say blessed because they were probably heathens to begin with" I almost choked on my coffee

[@shanky9076]

Dr. Harrelson, your content has helped me immensly in not only my pipe smoking journey, but also my spiritual and overall life journey. Your book/blend recommendations have thoroughly enriched my life. I can't thank you enough for your content and from the bottom of my heart, may God continue to bless you.

[@johnfiaschetti3926]

Keep up the great work you do, and remember to always pray the Rosary ! no matter how burdened your day is.

[@chriscrosby5628]

Thanks for sharing! I appreciate your wisdom and knowledge, and the way you promote the gentleman lifestyle. Is that lost on us? I admire you for standing firm in your beliefs. We may not agree on everything, but that does not mean we have to go to war over it! I have a Savinelli churchwarden my Dad gave me many years ago, with some Peterson Dublin. It's all about the enjoyment! Thank you!

[@SouthAlabamaPiper31]

I think it’s funny that people hate on other people’s content. Don’t worry about it and just do you. Which I know you will anyway. Thank you for all your wise thoughts as always. God bless ya.

[@JS-sw8gf]

Dr Harrelson, are you upset that some people are being mean to you? Just speak your truth, ignore their ignorance. If they have some useful truth in their criticism, then consider it. But don't feed trolls by responding to them. You're not here for them. You're here for your message. With all due respect, being offended when strangers dislike you or your message is actually a sign of vanity or pride. Let that stuff go and focus on showing a better way to those who want it and are ready for it. Please keep going with your channel and your content. Thanks for everything!

[@timmyrich75]

Sorry to hear you're dealing with this. You are possibly my favorite man on the internet! God Bless!

[@Genealogist1968]

It is YOUR site, say what you want. I enjoy this site and find wisdom in what you say.

[@chuckbaker7909]

I find it fascinating that people who do not like something have to ensure that people know this information. I am not sure if it is rampant narcissism or what that makes them think people care about their likes and dislikes. It's like their opinion will actually affect something. I find that if you do not like something, you move on and find something that you like and appreciate. From one redhead to another, you keep doing what you like. You keep doing you brother.

[@steveingwer2046]

Ignorant people will always try to put people down. I love your content. I have recently started enjoying a pipe and find your channel very informative and interesting.

[@andrewhensley4285]

One cannot afford to allow others to control ones serenity. Love your content.

[@stephenchelius7461]

Brother, we are doing something wrong when we don't have enemies. Love and goodness will always be opposed. Keep living the beautiful life in Christ. May God bless you.

[@ericmiller66674]

I've been enjoying your videos for a good little while now. I don't understand why folks always want to attack things that aren't a problem. Thank you sir for the incredible content you create and continuing to release great content for folks that truly appreciate your words of knowledge...

[@Jake.r.reinhart]

After I watch your videos I can’t help but talk in your accent for the next three days.

[@PerkinsPipes]

My friend, I discovered your channel and the PCS app just as I was getting into pipes, and both have been a godsend. I have learned so much and even been inspired to by you to launch my own channel. And I was drawn to your work even more once I learned of your walk with Christ. Stay strong, enjoy a favorite pipe with a favorite tobacco, and know a great many of us appreciate your work.

[@patrickmcdonnell8914]

I enjoy your content, and the spirit that it is given. Thank you for inspiring me to pickup a pipe.

[@johncommers9597]

Remember my friend, as we heard as youngsters “misery loves company and its got an aggressive recruiting program”. You are a breath of fresh air, Wyatt Earp had Holiday and we have our “Doc” Harrelson! GOD bless you!

[@msquared4147]

Don’t worry yourself. Do what makes you happy and deliver the message you want.

[@vdegoth1730]

I am familiar with your channel through my life partner.. and I wanted to say " Sir, your logic on the pipe community is the reason you have 34,000 subscribers, and they don't" Keep up the good work!

[@thesoultransferprotocol721]

Very good sir. Don't let the bastards drag you down. Your content is Gold. It is appreciated by those who understand and have faith and possess a certain solace in their hearts. Its sad you even have to address this nonsense in a video format. But its good you call out these loser cretins. God Bless You Sir........

[@Mark-cr4xh]

Enjoy your podcast. As a Cajun pipe smoker, I will say this: Let the hair go with the hide. God bless you and yours.

[@gregorymeeder3167]

I'll have to remember this one

[@aaronsmith7472]

All I can say is that I hope God continues to bless you and your family. You are a true man of faith and a southern gentleman...I can only hope to someday have a chat while enjoying a bowl of fine tobacco with you.

[@pipesmoker956]

I, like many others enjoy your content. Whether it be about the Catholic church or pipe smoking. I was raised Catholic, married outside the Catholic Church, and now revisiting the church. I love my wife, I like pipe smoking, and I love to detail my cars. Just the simple things of life. Yes, I'm retired after 50 years of working.

[@mallninjarising]

thank you Dr. Harrelson for your thought provoking viewpoint. I exhale a great sigh of relief often when I hear your refreshing takes, they contrast very starkly with the ridiculousness that pervades society.

[@aussiePiper_Dan]

Hello from the TRUE SOUTH... Australia ;) Keep up the great content sir, I thoroughly enjoy what you have to say.

[@briank3564]

Yes. Misery loves company!

[@jasonjones6463]

I feel a good degree of sympathy for you here Alan. Stay on your course.

[@robertstegall9621]

All I know, I look forward to the new videos you put out. I totally relate to what you talk about, your background, and your raising as it is the same as I was raised, and the way I am trying to raise my children. Please keep up the good work a lot of use need this same minded conversation.

[@gregorymitchell4588]

You do have something to say and I for one enjoy listening to your insight into pipes and life.

[@nitegoat1369]

Alan, I value your content, and respect/agree with your opinions and beliefs on many subjects. Even though I am an atheist (not a heathen, as I was baptized Catholic, when I was an infant), I still live my life with great morality, and am not offended by your religious views and lifestyle. More power to you, that you have worked hard and made a very successful life for yourself and your family. Let the haters OD on their hater-ade, as those people will always be miserable, and therefore a disappointment to themselves and others. Thank you for your KZbin content.

[@davehamilton9310]

Amen Brother... I enjoy all your content... keep being you. God Bless.

[@macinthewild8116]

Protect your peace !

[@christinereich6050]

Telling people you are Catholic is difficult. Proud of you!

[@nathanmcbride149]

Thanks for being you and sharing your truth!

[@Clintboyd]

Well said. I praise God for your success and overall mindset represented in this video. I was encouraged, having been through something similar (in ministry) recently. Keep going--at whatever pace you please! Shalom shalom to you and your family.

[@paddy1987ify]

I have seen many of your videos and the content has focused on God, quality tobacco, literature, and family. If some poor soul is against those topics, they need to judge their own lives, not yours. God Bless you and yours.

[@JamesPlatske]

Stay the course and keep the faith.

[@4x4vania]

You taught me how to properly pack and tobacco pipe and keep it lit. I hope this advice is as helpful to you as the advice you have given me. You don’t have to be so tuff on yourself. People talk. Let them talk. What’s important is how you respond to it. You’re a person that people want attention from and will do anything to get a reaction. I learned in Boston Massachusetts to not pray for easier lives pray for stronger men. Be tough on the tobacco pipe and not yourself.

[@hardusdeklerk8993]

Well said, Sir. I love your videos! Keep them coming.

[@randysmith1511]

Amen brother!

[@1912rider]

haters are going to hate. Keep doing your thing and I'll keep watching and enjoying every minute while smoking a bowl of 965.

[@ronnieadams6330]

Amen Dr Harrelson! I've been watching your channel since you started it, and always look forward to the next one. I watch both of your channels and love them both. You keep doing your thing! I'd love to sit down and smoke a pipe with you and just listen to you talk about tobacco and South Carolina. Love both of your channels. God Bless You and Your beautiful family.🙏🏻

[@thedreadtyger]

You've been a great friend these past years, and I pray for years to come. I will happily watch your videos just to keep up with you and your pretty family and what you're thinking. I expect you do the same for me, but if you don't, then keep that under your hat and I'll stroll happily along with that pleasant misconception. If it counts at all, I think you're exactly right about one (but not only one) thing you said today. It's your channel and you'll put just what you want on it. I do the same, or it'd just be a commercial for a shop I don't own and for which I am not paid. There's freedom in that! Lastly for now, I am sorrowed to hear that you've had it with pipe shows. Had it not been for you I'd never have gone to Muletown. I will, God allowing, go again. I had a right good time, pursued a little business (for half a day's pay), and spent time not only with pipemates but with a brother chevalier and two of the dearest younguns I know. I certainly missed you, but we'll make that up. God love you, Alan. I hope to see you soon.

[@priestofpartagas]

Keep up the great work, Dr. H! Appreciate you, Good Sir!!

[@austinkairnes5549]

i enjoy your content on this channel and your other channel as well. I learn a lot and it is interesting. Don't let people get you down.

[@RedTractorLeather]

+1 from me my good man - I thoroughly appreciate your content and look forward to it! I try to give the folks who may be negative the benefit of the doubt and realize they are battling their own issues and so I would try and not take it personally. I know - easier said than done

[@gregorymeeder3167]

This to me is it in a nutshell. I would add thanks for being completely honest and to hell with the algorithm.

[@judylynngeier9352]

Also we love everything you talk about including pipes or not. You are a treasure to my ❤&I. Proud of you and what you’ve said & look forward to whenever we get a notification that you’ve uploaded a new segment. ☦️🙏🏻🤗. We love you’re love of the Lord & the pipe ♥️

[@nddn2850]

As a fellow Christ follower, I have really enjoyed your content. I don't smoke a pipe. But your ability to shamelessly share Christ has been very inspiring and timely. God bless, Dr., and keep listening to the Holy Spirit!

[@theoryofdarknessnmusic]

I thoroughly enjoy spending time with your insight my good sir, dont let riff raff get you down

[@Cfinnan]

I am a new subscriber and I enjoy your content that you create that is why I subscribed. I don't understand these people that leave negative comments if you don't like it then don't watch it. It baffles me why people don't like others doing good and good things.

[@stephensmith4480]

Some people will criticise no matter what a subject is about, but that says more about them in my Book. I always enjoy your topics, no matter what they are about, some people just don't like to see others experiencing enjoyment. If you asked them what subject they would like to discuss, they would probably find fault in that too. It's just how they are. Many thanks Dr H.

[@Americancrusader2112]

Thanks man I needed to hear this. Sometimes I see things online that get to me, I'm trying to be better though. Peace and God Bless 🙏🏻 you and your family. Peace ✌🏻

[@judylynngeier9352]

Well we LOVE YOUR SHOW & CONTENT. YOU don’t need our 2 cents but we want you to know you’re one of our favorites. Absolutely love you & we know of one who are ridiculously jealous of you. Only saw them once & never again. God bless you. Keep doing what you’re doing as you are doing it. You have a beautiful life and family that’s for sure & you are correct. You are humble. Big hugs from Texas 🤗🎉🎉🎉🙏🏻☦️♥️🇺🇸God bless your family, too 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@atthefiveforks8077]

Sorry this has happened to you and I've watched some of the derogatory videos, that I thought were quite disgusting. I appreciate your candor and I fully support what you are doing. I am terribly disturbed by the so called "woke" community that feels the need to tear down what we have to push their agenda on everyone... I don't know how we got to this place, but I will fight back as long as I have breath to do so. I am, like you, a proud Southern gentleman and I am proud of my heritage and will not let anyone take that from me. Just keep on doing what ya doing. I've learned a lot about pipes and tobaccos from you and that's a great service you've provided. God bless you and your family.

[@darmat6288]

Keep producing this excellent content! I like both of the channels.

[@dexter255]

Was looking for a pipe and stumbled on your channel! I absolutely love your content! Will be following from now on. Keep up the good work. We live in a world where the insane are the sane and the sane are considered the insane. Thanks for knowledge.

[@williamforsterjr276]

Another truthful entertaining video. Thank you for being you!

[@diane4983]

Many people feel bad when others do well. It’s a smallness and emptiness in them you have to feel sorry for them. They are not happy so they do want to drag others down. They feel others success or happiness takes something from them somehow. When you go on KZbin you open yourself up to everyone. My husband tells me all the time. People are never going to be as good as you want them to be no matter how much you feel they should be. It’s a tough one for me to accept but just move on and be uplifted by the good. There are plenty of us out there. Welcome home btw🙏🏻😊

[@bankerjohn9469]

Amen brother. Well said. You are an inspiration to all of us who follow. Time for another conversation with Malcom G. Just saying.
