Step into the smoke-stained sanctuary of the Zen Den as the first official gathering takes shape in a garage that once housed Christmas memories and now hosts cigars, confessions, and unapologetic commentary.

Joined by hosts Dean Modglin & Chad Hays, with guest host Leighton Peavler, Episode One sets the tone for a series rooted in raw conversation, generational stories, and chairs that have endured more life than most.

Between drifting smoke and the hum of a diesel heater, the group wanders through memories of growing up in Danville, the slow evolution of family traditions, and the unspoken hierarchy of who gets the “good chair.” Expect laughter, candor, and spontaneous wisdom — the kind that only surfaces when the lights are low and the world finally shuts up.

This is not a studio-polished production.
This is upholstery with a pulse.
This is Zen Den After Dark.

No cover. No filter. Just atmosphere.
