Hello and welcome to another episode of the Grey NATO.

It's a loose discussion of travel, adventure, diving, driving, driving gear, and most certainly

watches this episode 339, and it's proudly brought to you by the always-growing TGN supporter crew.

We thank you all so much for your continued support, and if you'd like to support the show,

please visit thegraynato.com for more details. My name is James Stacey, and I'm joined as ever by my pal and co-host, Jason Heaton.

Jason, how are we doing this week? The second recording this week. Yeah, it is. It's kind of crazy. We just did this a few days ago. So I'm doing the same as I did a few days ago. It's so funny, you know, we're doing video today because we have a guest who will introduce here shortly.

But as I'm watching you read the intro, I'm like, I can't believe you and I still have to read that intro off of a page after 339 episodes.

I mean, I could probably do it. I mean, my daughter, my daughter asked me yesterday and I realized I have it off the dome.

Maybe it's just like a comfort to have it there on the screen. I feel like if I didn't have it on the screen, that's when I would forget it. Exactly. But if you asked me out in the wild or like, you know, we do a live, we will do a live episode at Toronto Timepiece Show this year again. And last year, my mom ran the intro. So maybe we'll have a guest do it again this year. But if I had to do it, I think I'm pretty confident I could do it

off the dome for sure. But yeah, we're recording a second one this week. So normally we don't,

we record the same week that they go live. But my brother is actually coming into town for the first time in a couple years from the West Coast. And I just kind of wanted to not have the, not so much not to, I don't mind editing it. There's evenings, kids up, that sort of thing. You can find time to edit. but actually scheduling these things can be kind of tough when we've got a lot of running around to do

because he's got a lot of family to see and he'll be using my place as sort of his home base.

So I thank both you and our illustrious guest for being willing to record on a Friday.

I think it's going to be a really fun episode.

We do have a little bit of housekeeping kind of show notes to get to right here at the top. So the first one is we're still on a push to do several Q&A episodes in the next little while. So if you have a question for us and you're part of the subscriber side of the show so you can listen to the Q&A episodes. Be sure to send in your question to the gray nato at gmail.com. We've gotten a good

stack of them, so we definitely have enough to get going, but we'll continue this push for the

next little while. We were kicking around an idea of possibly attaching two or three Q&A episodes

at the end of main episodes. And I would say Slack is about as divided as you could be on this topic.

About half the messages are like, oh, I would love that.

And the other half are, no, please don't do that.

I like the Q&A episodes.

So I imagine we'll end up not changing anything,
