0:16.9	I'm your host Mike Powell, and it's finally warm in Seattle.
0:20.7	And while I want to say I'm psyched, to be honest, if my kid didn't have good friends here, I would be out of the city.
0:26.7	It's turning into such a shithole.
0:28.6	It used to be you'd avoid Seattle because of the rain.

1:11.9	and I'll call that a win. Actually, I do have something good to share with you, something great.
1:16.2	It's part two with Ted Ligotty, and this week, Ted and I don't talk about being bullied or anything
1:20.9	like that. We talk about Ted's greatness, and truly, he's one of the greatest skiers of our time. Before we get into it, I want you to tell a friend about the show and rate me wherever you listen.
