The 2026 Georgia Food + Wine Festival is officially the epicenter of Southern culinary innovation, and no one captures its essence better than Chef Jernard Wells. As the festival's Brand Ambassador and the celebrated "Family Chef," Wells recently joined The Ash Said It show to break down the flavor, culture, and "New Soul" philosophy defining this year's massive celebration at Jim R. Miller Park. The combination of talent perfectly mirrors the festival's balance of grit, hospitality, and bold evolution. Even when discussing his legendary Georgia Peach Hot Chicken Sandwich, Wells emphasized that pushing boundaries isn't about discarding tradition; it's about using "New Soul" techniques to elevate classic Georgia ingredients, ensuring every bite tells a story of both heritage and high-concept culinary art. For families attending the Sunday/Funday events, Wells identified the Gourmet Mac & Cheese Bar as the ultimate cross-generational experience. It serves as a culinary bridge where a child's comfort food meets a connoisseur's palate through artisanal cheeses and smoked brisket toppings. This focus on family is at the heart of Wells' mission, transforming a simple meal into a core memory for the thousands of attendees flocking to Marietta. The conversation heated up when discussing the "Fired-Up" live-fire cooking event. Wells argued that Georgia barbecue is the state's most profound historical narrator. Unlike other methods, live-fire cooking requires a community to gather around the flame, representing a history of resilience and shared connection. This year, that energy moves from the screen to the stage with the debut of the Chef's Table Experience. Wells noted that while his CLEO TV audience is vast, the "culinary theater" of a live, five-course seated audience in Marietta provides an electric, visceral energy that only immediate feedback and shared atmosphere can provide. Ultimately, Chef Jernard Wells views the 2026 Georgia Food + Wine Festival as more than just a tasting event; it is a platform for culture, connection, and purpose. As visitors depart Jim R. Miller Park, Wells hopes they carry home a story of Georgia's culinary future—one where food isn't just sustenance, but a powerful tool for bridging divides and fostering a more inclusive, flavorful community.

Today we are joined by Kevin AKA TOP DONG for another beautiful opening song. The Shmole starts the ep by blessing the airwaves with his ukulele. He also confronts Chad about the LOAD cannon - Is it chill to soak the audience or should there be a splash zone for future shows? The bros then go deep on "The Heat of Passion" defense. Is there legal consequences when you're so FIRED UP that you make a quick decision out of passion? Kev then gives us a few examples of when this defense works best. He also talks about the ALBUM he played while his wife was giving birth and why he thinks it will inject his newborn with STOKE.

   What has happened that we seem to have two sets of laws in America today.  From Tucson to Minneapolis and now, to KC... enforcement of the law comes down to one thing for those that commit crimes.  Do you love Trump or hate him?   A woman in KC sets fire to the building ICE wants to use and apparently authorities do not care at all.    Karoline Leavitt has fun trolling President Obama over voter ID saying Dems are panicked while posting a cool video.  Switzerland has had enough of illegal aliens pouring in and will hold a vote to limit the population of their country.    In sports, Jerome Tang blasting his players has made the K-State coach famous national as ESPN has a field day with his pathetic words.  The Daytona 500 is set for Sunday... we love the Great American Race.    Danny Clinkscale has a total meltdown on our Patron's Podcast Thursday about Golf Channel's lead announcer Steve Sands... this is hilarious and you will love it.    And our Final Final is a USA skier that says too much.

The Conway Show is officially heading back to where it belongs: nights! Starting Monday, February 17, Tim moves to 6–10PM — and the whole crew is fired up because that’s the vibe. Think classic Conway energy… a little “bi-winning” audio, and a whole lot of chaos. The show hits hard with headlines and heartbreak, including news involving former Dodger Terrance Gore (34) and Dawson’s Creek star James Van Der Beek (48), plus an infuriating story out of L.A. where a thief steals an adaptive tricycle from a 9-year-old special needs boy. Michael Monks jumps on at 4:20 with a preview of his new show “Monks & Merrill,” also debuting on the 17th — and breaks down the streetlights tax proposal at City Hall that would impact City of L.A. property owners. Then it’s time to open the toy box: Dead Giveaway, Puppet Heist, and Dilly’s World Open return, followed by Jay Leno stories (including a very NoHo strip club mention) and a warm trip back to Burbank in the ’80s.

Craig Carton and Chris McMonigle are FIRED UP after a statement win… and things spiral FAST.

Craig Carton and Chris McMonigle are FIRED UP in this wild segment of The Carton Show!

Back after brutal New Jersey snowstorms derailed the schedule—Sal Assante returns with no-holds-barred takes on America's boiling crises. Recent deadly ICE encounters and shootings during immigration protests (like the tragedies in Minneapolis) expose the dangers of sanctuary cities clashing with federal enforcement, where political agendas turn streets into battlegrounds. Epstein files? Still buried despite promises—DOJ drags its feet on full release, fueling cover-up suspicions. International flashpoints rage on with Ukraine/Russia tensions, Trump's renewed Greenland push for strategic dominance, and bloated military budgets draining resources. Economically, asset prices are wildly inflated—homes out of reach, markets detached from reality—demanding urgent corrections before the bubble bursts. "Stay informed, do what you can"—patriots, awareness is the first step to action.

This week on the podcast, we break down a historic snow storm that swept across the country, snarling travel, knocking out power, and forcing communities to band together in record-low temperatures.But Minnesota has been dealing with more than just the weather — in recent weeks, a surge of federal activity and civil unrest has taken center stage. President Trump has announced he is sending border czar Tom Homan to Minnesota amid ongoing turmoil tied to a large ICE enforcement operation in the state, a move that has sparked debate and drawn national attention.Meanwhile, in an unexpected twist, the Minnesota National Guard made headlines for handing out coffee and donuts to anti-ICE protesters — a gesture local officials called a demonstration of community support and safety amid tensions.We'll cover: • How the snow storm impacted daily life and emergency services • What Tom Homan's deployment means for federal and state relations • The role of the National Guard in community engagement • Voices from protesters, residents, and officials on all sides#murphyengraving #homan #donutsandcoffee Follow us on: Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Apple, SpotifyREMEMBER TO SUBSCRIBE….DOWNLOAD ON ALL YOUR AUDIO PLATFORMS….AND LEAVE A 5 STAR RATING AND REVIEW ON APPLE & SPOTIFY!!!New Sponsor:  Murphy Engraving-Reach out to Kevin for all your engraving needs!murphyengraving@gmail.com  513-616-6463  FACEBOOK: MURPHY ENGRAVINGINSTAGRAM: MURPHY_ENGRAVINGTell him One More & I'm Outta Here sent ya!!!Support the show

Mick Harrington is back, aka the Mower Man, and honestly I could listen to that bloke sing the phone book and still get emotional. But this time round we are getting fired up on all things bushfires... Funding. Public land management. The gap between decisions made in Spring Street and the reality on the ground when your town is literally on fire. Mick talked about communities being left vulnerable, old trucks, not enough fuel reduction, not enough basic roadside slashing, and the mental toll that sits in people’s bodies for years after the flames are gone. And the part that hit hardest was the “doers” story. People being told “no resources, you’re on your own” and still saving farms, neighbours, and half a town with sheer grit, old gear, and guts.

In this episode, I sit down with Shannon Watts to talk about something so many parents and caregivers quietly wrestle with, how to stay fired up in the middle of responsibility, burnout, and the weight of shoulds. Shannon is the founder of Moms Demand Action and the author of Fired Up, and our conversation goes far beyond advocacy. We talk about identity, purpose, and what happens when women are taught to put obligation ahead of desire for most of their lives.

Topics we cover include: Why so many women are taught to fulfill obligations before desires How guilt, fear, and perfectionism drain motivation The difference between purpose and being purposeful Imposter syndrome and fear of public failure Parenting, fulfillment, and modeling self trust for kids Community as a key part of sustainable change Why wanting more does not mean you are ungrateful To connect with Shannon Watts follow her on Instagram @shannonrwatts, check out all her resources at https://shannonwatts.org/home/ and buy her book “Fired Up” https://www.firedupbook.com/.  00:00 – Choosing Hope Over Cynicism 00:38 – Why This Conversation Matters Right Now 01:31 – Meet Shannon Watts 02:55 – Staying Fired Up Without Burning Out 03:36 – Leaving California and Finding Community 05:55 – Talking Across Differences 07:17 – Why Women Feel Stuck in Obligation 08:35 – The Moment Everything Changed 10:22 – Desire vs Obligation 12:45 – It Is Never Too Late 15:13 – Rethinking Legacy and Guilt 18:06 – What Kids Really Learn From Us 20:12 – Losing Forward and Redefining Failure 23:21 – Handling Blowback and Shame 25:27 – Imposter Syndrome and Being the First 27:59 – Values, Abilities, and Desires 32:18 – Finding Your People 37:22 – Parenting, Purpose, and Modeling Fire 40:48 – The First Step to Living on Fire 42:51 – Final Reflections Our podcasts are also now on YouTube.

Craig Button was the first guest on today's show. He first touched on whether or not he thinks the Oilers will be able to win tonight against the Devils which will be the first time the Oilers have won 3 in a row all season long. He then touched on if he thinks the Oilers goaltending issues are finally solved. We took the conversation elsewhere and got his thoughts on the Rasmus Andersson trade. There was a goalie fight in the NHL last night, so we asked Craig, what was his favourite goalie fight in NHL history.   It was then time for the Play Alberta Early Bird Bet of the day.   After the break, we got into Weekly Confessions for Spectrum Rent All. What were the boys confessing today?   We finished hour two with Fired Up for Gemco Fireplaces to discuss how fired up we are for Cory B getting a Reid Wilkins tattoo on him!?

Adrian recalls his experience with the Exit Advent Calendar - the experience really opened some doors for him. Conor really embraces the theme of Crusaders as he focuses on expansion, giving a Devine take with Crusaders: Thy Will Be Done - Divine Influence.

The fire has been extinguished—or has it? Today I'm sitting down with the spicy DD Fuego to unpack her exit from RuPaul's Drag Race Season 18. DD doesn't hold back on why she feels she shouldn't have been in the bottom, the "unfiltered" truth about her elimination, and how she's handling it. Plus, we dive into her iconic relationship with her boyfriend James (yes, that James from the legendary episode of Real Housewives of New York).

To wrap up 2025, we're re-running some of our favorite guest episodes from this year—including this interview with Shannon Watts, founder of ⁠Moms Demand Action⁠, discussing her book Fired Up: How to Turn Your Spark Into a Flame and Come Alive at Any Age. Shannon shares the personal story behind her midlife awakening, how she built the largest grassroots movement to fight gun violence in America, and the life-changing formula she developed to help women find purpose, passion, and courage—no matter their life stage. Shannon, Margaret, and Amy discuss: How societal “shoulds” can keep women stuck The “fire triangle” formula: how your values, abilities, and desires can reignite your life Why “false fires” (like busyness and performative happiness) burn us out How Shannon knew it was time to pass the torch at Moms Demand Action—and what it taught her about transitions The importance of building our own communities of firestarters Why your fire doesn't have to “earn its keep” Here's where you can find Shannon: ⁠www.firedupbook.com⁠ (enroll in Shannon's course here) @shannonrwatts on IG and Substack Buy FIRED UP: ⁠https://bookshop.org/a/12099/9780593831939⁠ We love the sponsors that make this show possible!
