| 0:10.3 | Welcome to the Powell Movement. |
| 0:13.3 | I'm your host, Mike Powell, and this week it's more of the same pandemic life for all. |
| 0:18.4 | I know I've been letting you know what I've been up to during this boring |
| 0:21.3 | as shit time in life, and I'm going to continue to do so. Regular listeners know that my family and I |
| 0:26.9 | have been doing the quarantine thing for about five weeks now. Holy crap. I've been to three |
| 0:32.6 | public places since this thing started. The green store twice and I had a root canal early on in this process. |
| 0:39.0 | Unfortunately for me, I still need more dental work and I can't have it done for at least another month. |
| 0:44.8 | My dentist said that if I'm in really bad pain or if my gums swell a bunch, I should call him |

| 1:17.1 | was too high, so I went through four different adjustments and my dentist still wasn't able to |
| 1:22.0 | fix my pain. So he sent me over to the endodonist instead. I go to the endo early on in the pandemic, |
| 1:28.6 | and I find out that the first cavity I had filled |
| 1:30.7 | should have been a root canal from the beginning. |
| 1:33.2 | And the crown that I had built, well, that should have been a root canal too. |
| 1:37.0 | And to add insult to injury, that cavity that was filled and it was sitting too high, |
| 1:42.5 | well, it cracked the tooth below, so now that |
| 1:45.3 | tooth will either have to be pulled or it'll need a root canal and a crown. Man, I miss my old |
