0:02.2	It's time to talk some shit on the Powell Movement.
0:13.5	Welcome to the Powell Movement.
0:17.0	I'm your host Mike Powell, and what a difference a week makes.
0:22.3	I feel like I recorded my intro last week about being scared of this virus still and then the next day everything

1:39.7	I was in the hospital for a week. I was bedridden for three months, and I still never really found out
