| 0:00.0 | Mmm, baby, you listening to The Powell Movement. |
| 0:12.0 | Welcome to the Powell Movement. I'm your host Mike Powell, and I hope everyone had an amazing Thanksgiving. |
| 0:19.6 | I would say that mine was great, but I haven't |
| 0:21.7 | had mine yet. I usually record intros on Tuesdays the week before the show goes live, |
| 0:26.7 | so right now, I'm hearing a lot of complaining about how Thanksgiving is going to be different |
| 0:31.3 | this year. And no shit, Sherlock, it's going to be really fucking different. There's a pandemic going on, |

| 1:17.0 | and I think that did happen at some places last year before people took any safety measures, |
| 1:21.6 | then I may have to reconsider the risk I'm willing to take. But for now, snow is a yes, |
| 1:26.4 | and big indoor Thanksgiving gatherings are a hard no. |
| 1:29.7 | That's for me, and I think it should be the same for you, but whatever, who am I to make the |
