    Episode 41 (Cigars, Service, Survival)

    Send us Fan Mail Episode 41 of the Hot Ashes Podcast comes in hot. Lee, TK, Jarrad, and Chris light up at George’s Cigars and dive into everything from cigars and beer to customer service, AI, solo camping, bands, books, and even the moon landing. We kick things off with what everyone’s smoking and drinking, then revisit TK’s legendary “drunk episode” and how it felt from the inside vs. how fans saw it. From there we move into a big chunk on customer service and leadership—Walmart horror stories, how (not) to train employees, mock job interviews with high schoolers, and why real human connection still beats AI phone trees every time. Jarrad breaks down his upcoming solo camping trip in Shenandoah: gear loadout, food plan, water strategy, heart/ICD concerns, and his goal of slowing down and actually enjoying the views. Lee talks about his band Heart Stop, new 90s/2000s rock covers (Weezer, Everclear, Rage Against the Machine), and the upcoming show at the White Gazebo Pavilion behind George’s Cigars in Swansboro, NC. We also hit Lee’s books (fiction and nonfiction), using AI to tighten writing, the Carolina Museum of the Marine, movie and book nerdery, and a late‑episode dive into conspiracies like the moon landing. If you like cigars, shop talk, leadership, camping, bands, books, Marines, movies, and a healthy dose of unfiltered brotherly banter, this one’s for you. #HotAshesPodcast #Cigars #CigarLounge #GeorgesCigars #HeartStop #LiveMusic #CustomerService #Leadership #EmotionalIntelligence #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #ChatGPT #MuseumOfTheMarine #USMC #Camping #Backpacking #SoloCamping #Shenandoah #Hiking #OutdoorLife #BookTalk #IndieAuthor #BecauseISaidSo #ThePrincessBride #PodcastClips #ComedyPodcast #Storytelling #ConspiracyTheories #MoonLanding #SpicyFood #HotOnes #CarolinaReaper #NorthCarolina #Swansboro Support the show

    Episode 35 (Cody's retirement, Cigar family, Conspiracy talks)

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of the Hot Ashes Podcast, Lee, TK, Amy, Dakota, and Roger light up some great sticks, pour serious bourbon, and dive into one of the most emotional and unfiltered conversations yet. We kick things off recapping our brother Cody’s retirement from the Marine Corps after 27 years of service — from Lee putting the uniform back on and giving a heartfelt speech, to the powerful moments with Cody’s kids and the community that showed up for him. We talk about what it really feels like to take the uniform off for the last time, the struggle of transition, and what “thank you for your service” means from both sides of the table. From there we get into: The cigar-shop family vibe: how this crew always shows up for each other — moving houses, honoring friends we’ve lost, and throwing a retirement party that went way too late.Cody’s insane bourbon haul and everyone’s drinks & smokes for the night (My Father Blue, Drew Estate Sweet Jane, George’s box-pressed, Basil Hayden, Eagle Rare, Jefferson’s Ocean, and more).A sobering moment about a neighbor collapsing while breaking up a dog fight and how fast life can change.Then the conversation takes a hard turn into: 9/11, NASA, the moon landing, aliens, and flat earth–adjacent theoriesMoney, power, and why celebrities and politicians drive us crazyThe NFL, college football, NIL money, and why pro athletes make more than the people we send to warIt’s raw, it’s honest, it’s emotional, and it’s absolutely not scripted. As always, this is entertainment and opinion, not “official” anything — just a group of friends around a table, cigars in hand, talking about life, service, and the crazy world we’re living in. ⏱ Chapters (suggested): 0:00 – Lighting up & drink/cigar roll call 1:00 – Cody’s Marine Corps retirement & Lee back in uniform 6:30 – Gifts, plaques, and emotional moments at the ceremony 10:00 – The party recap: cigars, bourbon, and 4 a.m. bedtimes 14:30 – A neighbor collapses breaking up a dog fight 18:00 – Cigar shop “family” and how the crew always shows up 22:30 – Amy’s COVID-era retirement with no proper ceremony 27:00 – What “thank you for your service” really means 35:00 – Veterans, Vietnam stories, and perspective on hardship 39:00 – 9/11 questions, Building 7, and conspiracy talk 43:00 – Did we go to the moon? NASA, Artemis, and space skepticism 50:00 – NFL scripts, team names, and the Redskins/Commanders rant 1:00:00 – College football, NIL, and money in sports 1:15:00 – Politics, term limits, and the “world is a stage” 1:25:00 – Closing thoughts & switching back to cigars 💨 Featured Cigars: My Father BlueGeorge’s box-pressed (and torpedo)Drew Estate Sweet JaneRed Meat Lovers (Tatuaje collab) …and more we probably shouldn’t smoke all in one weekend.🥃 Featured Spirits: Tennessee Standard blended bourbon (Kings Family Distillery)Mictors 10Eagle Rare, Buffalo Trace, Basil HaydenRussell’s single barrel & 10-yearJefferson’s OceanE.H.
