0:00.0	Motherfuckers, you listening to the Power Movement.
0:10.3	Welcome to the Powell Movement.
0:13.3	I'm your host Mike Powell, and this week I'm going back to snow.
0:18.2	I know.
0:19.0	It's strange as the season has been over for a long time. It's time
0:22.6	for summer skiing, but the only place Americans should be able to shred is at hood.
0:27.6	I mean, if other countries are smart, they will ban U.S. travelers until there is a vaccine
0:32.6	that is proven to work. Why? Because you can't trust Americans to do what's right. We are collectively idiots.
0:39.3	And while I don't think I'm an idiot and I want to believe that you aren't either,

1:21.7	opinion is, things are going to be like this through the fall, and then when winter and flu
1:25.8	season hits, it could get even worse. There's a lot of risk in this world right fall, and then when winter and flu season hits, it could get even worse.
1:28.5	There's a lot of risk in this world right now. And most of my guests, well, they're fueled by
1:33.3	putting themselves in risky situations. Take this week's guest, Austin Sweeten. He's a badass
1:38.8	snowboarder who can ride any type of terrain. He's one of the best to come out of the Pacific Northwest
1:43.6	in a long time.
