0:02.3	It's time to talk some shit on the Powell Movement.
0:13.5	Welcome to the Powell Movement.
0:17.1	I'm your host, Mike Powell,
0:18.4	and this week marks three weeks into school, and we received the dreaded email saying that someone in my kids class tested positive for COVID.

1:29.2	a risk too.
1:30.0	I highly recommend you do it.
1:31.9	And speaking of risk takers, Tren and Painter is back for round two this week, and it's
