Summary
Scotty Lago had a path to pro snowboarding that's different than almost anyone I've interviewed. Most high school dropouts don't have Olympic Medals to go along with a grip of X Games and Dew Tour hardware, but that's what Scotty Lago did. Along the way, he was part of the legendary Frends Crew, he filmed with Grenade, he filmed with Travis Rice for the biggest movies in snowboard history, and he did it all while riding for Flow Snowboards. When all was said and done, Scotty didn't retire into the sunset; he's now following his other passion of hunting, and just like in his snowboard career, he's already a sponsored hunter, and who knows how big that world can get for Scotty. This is a fun podcast with an unfiltered legend and former Flow TM, Andrew Mutty asks the Inappropriate Questions.

| 0:00.0 | Have a seat on your porcelain throne. |
| 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, and it's been another roller coaster of a week for the Powell family. |
| 0:21.6 | As you may or may not know, my wife, Ange, had radiation treatment for her stage 4 cancer. |
| 0:26.6 | There's a really good success right with this treatment, so we're super hopeful, but we won't know the results for three months. |
| 0:32.6 | That's the good news. The bad news is that Ange now has some new pain in her body. Pain that was getting to a level where I was ready to go to the emergency room at a moment's notice. |
| 0:42.8 | I'll say, the past two years have been miserable for the most part, and the worst thing about it all is seeing my wife in pain. |
| 0:50.5 | And that's where we're at. We can't see a pain specialist for a week, but one of our doctors |
| 0:55.6 | did write a script for some pain meds, and they have been helping. It's funny how it's so hard |
| 1:00.2 | to get pain meds these days because so many people are abusing them, and when you really, really need |
| 1:04.8 | them, unless you know the doctor, they're difficult to get. So I almost feel like we were lucky to get her that script. |
| 1:14.5 | We've been trying to figure out what's going on, and I've been at the hospital every day this week for tests and treatments. I know I said I wasn't going to bring up cancer every week, |
| 1:18.9 | and I'll try not to do that, but when there's news, I like to share it. |
| 1:22.5 | Sharing here is easier than me talking to people about what's going on because I get really emotional sometimes discussing it. But I have no problem telling the world on this podcast. That's weird, |
| 1:32.2 | but it is what it is. Anyways, enough bumming you out. Now it's time to tell you about my guest |
| 1:36.9 | this week. He's an Olympic medalist who also has three Dutour medals and four X Games medals. |
| 1:41.9 | And he's filmed with Grenade, Travis Rice, and more. |
| 1:44.9 | And if that's not enough, he's also a professional hunter. I'm talking about Scotty Lego. |
| 1:49.7 | I met Scottie when he was set up at the WSM trade show in Utah last February. He was a one-man |
| 1:54.9 | band and brand selling his Lego snowboards to potential dealers. We chatted. I asked him to do a |
| 2:00.1 | podcast. He said yes. It came out |
