Welcome in podcast listeners. We got a loaded show for you. Appreciate all of you hanging out with us.

Winter Storm Nashville continues. I am continuing to roll back in the in the seat here.

Paul Kaharski, one of the newest outkick employees in hour one and hour two.

John McClain of the Houston Chronicle from his car because the state of Texas is basically shut down in terms of power in many different houses.

Absolutely stinks. And then Petros Papadegas and the bachelor report.

It's the Wednesday edition of Outkick and you can hear the podcast fully right now.

So regular listeners of the outkick program. You might be saying, wait a minute.

Yesterday Clay wasn't here. They had Jonas Knox and Jeff Schwartz in and that's correct.

I was here on Monday gone on Tuesday. I thought that I was going to be flying to Mexico.

I thought that right now as you listen to this, I would be sleeping by the ocean with the windows and the doors open on a beach side villa.

Perfect weather, the nice little Russell of the waves as they came up on the shore.

Instead a big storm hit the city of Nashville and has basically much of the south, frankly, but certainly in the city of Nashville, everything is shut down.

I have not left my house in basically three days. And so I called my boss on Tuesday.

Scott Shapiro and I said, Hey, I don't want to take vacation and not be able to go or do anything while I'm sitting in my house.

I have a home studio. So I'm coming back. And so I am back. I'll be here on Wednesday.

I'll be here on Thursday. I'll be here on Friday. I don't know if I'm ever going to be able to take a normal vacation again.

Basically since COVID hit. Now I've relocated, but I don't know that I've taken more than like a day or two here and there.

Not to work in basically a year. And I'm not one to brag or draw attention to myself, but I guarantee you if you compare my number of off days to anybody else that works in national radio.

I bet I bet what do you think, Dub? You're here. I bet that I have worked more than any national radio show host in the history of national sports radio in the last year.

Because we didn't take any time off the entire time that COVID happened. And I was all set to go to Mexico. And then now I can't go to Mexico.

And the television schedule means that it's almost impossible for me to get away there as well. And I know a lot of you out there work a lot as well.

So you know, during the COVID, I didn't want to be away because I was like, Hey, this is crazy.
