On this episode of the Hot Ashes Podcast from Georgia Cigars in Swansboro, NC, Lee and TK are joined by Evan for cigars, bourbon, and some wild conversations.

We kick things off with what we’re smoking and drinking, then dive into:

TK’s upcoming wedding – planning stress, pre‑game jitters, and why he’s giving his fiancée 100% of the credit
Evan’s first Marine Corps deployment and homecoming – forgetting to call his parents, UTV horror stories, and what he missed most while overseas
The insane story of a Florida doctor indicted for second‑degree manslaughter after removing the wrong organ in surgery, and a heated talk about medical accountability and malpractice
Customer service rants – from VA phone hell to fast‑food attitudes and why good service feels rare these days
A surprisingly deep (and funny) debate on showers, bar soap vs. loofahs, and hygiene
Gym etiquette & fashion trends we hate – broccoli hair, mullets, massive eyelashes, and the “influencer” gym crowd
Swimming, Marine water survival, and pool stories – underwater games, CWS quals, AMP training, and overcoming fear of the water
Future travel and family trip plans, plus thoughts on fatherhood, aging, and making time for the people who matter
If you like cigars, real talk, dark humor, and unfiltered opinions, you’re in the right place.
