| 0:02.3 | It's time to talk some shit on the Powell Movement. |
| 0:13.5 | Welcome to the Powell Movement. |
| 0:16.9 | I'm your host Mike Powell, |
| 0:18.1 | and this week I'm going to spare you an update on my shitty life. |
| 0:21.6 | You should know that things haven't changed much other than my weight. |
| 0:24.6 | The combination of the stress and me doing a modified, best day brewing fueled sober October |

| 1:10.6 | And they are. That's really true. But for me these days, the mountain is therapy. It's the only time I |

| 1:20.9 | Everything else in life almost disappears, and I find that to be a gift. Speaking of gifts, I'm really hoping to get the gift of a comp pass at the |
