Ep. 17: Heat Check: From the Front Lines of the California Wildfires

Episode Summary

Jade Bugsch, Natalie’s former soccer and field hockey teammate, now works as a firefighter during one of the most perilous stretches in California’s history. In sharing her recent experiences, from dodging falling oak trees to sleeping on the forest floor, Jade also reveals some amusing and alarming information about her close friend and provokes some fiery storytelling out of Mike.

Episode Notes

Jade Bugsch provides a first-hand account of her experiences on the front lines of some of California’s raging wildfires--and provides an excuse for Natalie and Mike to swap stories (scatalogical or otherwise) from the girls’ shared soccer and field hockey conquests. Excessive meat consumption, postgame tantrums toward grandparents and falling oak trees are among the topics addressed.
