Tom Dugan didn't want to do this podcast. He was in San Diego for a week filming for a new Odyssey project and wanted to stay focused on riding, which is totally fair. Buuuuut, a polar vortex hit Texas and his flight got cancelled two days in a row...so shout out to that freak storm and thanks to Tom for existing. I love this man.
