Summary
The Pain McShlonkey Classic, aka the PMS, is the most important ski event in the world. While some may argue that the Olympics and the X Games are the crown jewels of snow, anyone who's been to Palisades for the PMS knows that, winning Saucers is more important than winning medals. Shane McConkey is the most important and arguably the best skier of our time, and that's why celebrating his legacy is so important. On top of his ski legacy, the dude was one of the funniest humans I've ever met, and he had the unique ability to make anyone and everyone feel like they were part of his inner circle. He's missed by so many and this podcast takes you behind the scenes on McConkey weekend!

| 0:00.0 | Have a seat on your porcelain throne. |
| 0:02.3 | It's time to talk some shit on the Powell Movement. |
| 0:13.3 | Welcome to the Powell Movement. |
| 0:16.9 | I'm your host Mike Powell, and this week, it's another week with so much fucked up shit happening in the world. |
| 0:22.6 | While I stayed away from mentioning all the terrible stuff that was going on last week in my intro, I can't ignore it again this week. |
| 0:29.6 | And I wasn't ignoring it last week, I was just too lazy to talk about it. |
| 0:33.6 | But what the fuck is going on with the world right now? |
| 0:35.6 | I mean, I've been saying for years that it's |
| 0:38.0 | never okay to root for people to die or to celebrate someone's death for everyone except for bin Laden. |
| 0:44.1 | That was kind of the unofficial rule in the world and it always should be. I mean, sure, I understand |
| 0:49.4 | rooting for rapists and pedophiles to be dead, but I'm not talking about that. |
| 0:58.9 | The guy who thinks he's the king of the world, our supreme ruler, just said this about the guy that investigated him years back. Robert Mueller just died. Good, I'm glad he's dead. He can no |
| 1:05.3 | longer hurt innocent people. I mean, what in the actual fuck? This is the president of the United States saying that. |
| 1:12.3 | Kids hear that shit, that he's happy that someone's dead. |

| 1:18.3 | I can't believe the president would say that. |
| 1:20.2 | I mean, while I get that he only got to where he is in the world |
| 1:23.3 | because he's a smarter man than almost everyone on this planet, |
| 1:26.6 | and he's a better businessman compared to all the businessmen in the world, and he's honorable and compassionate. Actually, he's none of that shit. We all know that. He's a terrible human being. And the only trait that any single one of us would want is being rich. And that's not really a trait. I mean, he was born into that. I don't know one person who voted |
| 1:45.8 | for him or not, who would want their kids to be anything like our guy. I mean, could you imagine |
| 1:50.8 | having a kid that always acted like a child, a full-on baby, and never grew out of it? We can all |
