Lee and TK fire up cigars with a crew of Marines to swap stories about deployments, injuries, leadership, and life after the Corps—plus plenty of chaos with Great Danes and puppies. Later, Jess from Candy Adventure and Bloomin’ Swansboro shares how she was picked from 13,000 applicants to help decorate the White House for Christmas, work in the flower shop, and sneak a peek behind the scenes.

Four dudes, a pile of cigars, and way too many stories. In this episode of the Hot Ashes Podcast, hosts Lee and TK are joined by Jared (Lee’s brother), plus Andy and Tyler, for a true cigar‑lounge hang at George’s Cigars in Swansboro, NC.

They kick things off with what they’re smoking and drinking (George’s torpedoes, Hazy Pernicious, Knob Creek, and even Diet Coke), then slide straight into childhood hot dog photos, near‑drowning pool stories, and their very different Thanksgiving traditions—multiple fried turkeys, leftover rules, and the argument over cold vs hot turkey sandwiches.

The crew recaps a long day of disc golf at Creekside, complete with tight wooded fairways, snakes, sore shoulders, and a genuinely sketchy moment: discovering a beeping pager in the woods in 2025 and watching a couple of very serious guys come back to retrieve it. From there, it’s family roasting (mom’s witchy home remedies and “Mary-isms”), small‑town vs city traffic, the “nothing box” in men’s brains, and a cascade of completely unhinged “would you rather” questions (baby head vs baby body, rats vs bugs, poop vs pee pain, and more).

If you like the feel of hanging in a cigar shop listening to friends talk trash, tell stories, and push hypotheticals way too far, this one fits right in.
