The Grey NATO – 222 – Jumping Out Of Helicopters To Fight Fires With Asha Wagner
For #222, the TGN boys are thrilled to welcome their friend Asha Wager to the show as a special guest. Asha is a Fire Department Captain, a Hazmat Team Leader, a massive watch nerd, adventure junkie, diver, and all around remarkable person. It’s a great chat that covers her time as a helicopter rappeller, her work fighting wild land fires, how she came to love watches, and what else she does to keep active and entertained.
It’s not every day that you get to meet someone like Asha and it was awesome to finally have her on TGN – a huge thanks to Asha for taking the time to jump on a mic and chat with Jason and James. Be sure to give her a follow on Instagram. Before the chat, Jason has a new spy show and James has been to the museum. Stay in the mix for a final notes that will have you betting on fictional blaseball and diving the wreck of the Andrea Doria.

Thanks guys for the chat. I had such a great time and look forward to hanging out and getting some dives in in the future.
I love how the guy in the MRE video defines good as not rancid and no numbness or swelling in his mouth. The few times I’ve tried MREs not on the fire line, I realized they just don’t taste good without a fine dusting of dirt and ash, and that I have to be exhausted and hungry. Word to the wise, stay away from the gum.
