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 I need to apologize to you.

0:20.5

Last week, I totally shit on Bodie Miller and Peaks.

0:24.1

My rant touched on the fact that Bodhi has screwed over friends, peers, his fans, his

0:28.4

customers, and this is all true.

0:30.6

But why I need to apologize is because I didn't shit on Andy Worth.

0:34.9

For all the damage that Bodie has done, I mean, he's the face and race of the

0:38.4

company. Andy Worth is the guy that everyone hated in Tahoe. Actually, everybody loved that guy when he

0:43.9

first started his job in Tahoe. But then his true color started shining and he became the definition

0:48.8

of the wolf and sheep's clothing. So with this peak thing, while I want to blame Bodie because it's easy to blame a guy

1:10.4

So he brings in Andy

1:11.8

Worth, and I'm going to guess all the business acumen, or lack thereof, falls on Andy's shoulders,

1:17.3

which is crazy because he's supposed to be the smart guy here. Why do I care about this? I guess

1:22.2

for two reasons. One, it sucks when the most famous person in a sport knowingly screws people over,

1:28.8

and two, I'm sick of talking about my dead wife, so I'll bitch about something else. Enough complaining about those

1:32.8

millionaires who want more of your money. Now it's time to get into the guest this week. And while

Cody Cirillo started his career competing in slope style events like due tour and AFP events,
