| 0:11.8 | Welcome to the Powell Movement. |
| 0:15.0 | I'm your host, Mike Powell, and it's another week of being stuck as a prisoner in my own home. |
| 0:23.6 | But now I'm wondering if I'm doing the right thing. I mean, places are starting to open up and I want to go. |
| 0:26.6 | Going out to eat, doing things with friends, letting my kid play with his friends, |
| 0:30.6 | they are all so important to me. |
| 0:32.6 | But I'm still staying in for a bit longer. |
| 0:35.6 | Call me crazy as I've been doing this for the better |
| 0:38.0 | part of 70 days, and this thing most likely is not going to kill me or my family. And I'm not |

| 1:11.7 | but I feel really bad for those of you that are serious about isolation and are single. |
| 1:16.2 | I can't imagine the boredom at this point. |
| 1:18.6 | But it's not all boredom. |
| 1:20.4 | I've talked to a couple people who have been using their Tinder and Grindr and whatever platforms they're on to hook up with people. |
| 1:26.4 | It's so crazy, but I know most of us, single, married, or whatever, are stuck at home. |
| 1:31.6 | And we need someone or something to do or something to look forward to, which is why I have |
