A
Welcome
to
a
commander's,
this
is
John
McMichael.
Your
host
and
I
am
pleased.
Today,
I've
got
two
great
guests
and
you're
really
going
to
enjoy
these.
These
guests
we
had
today
I've
got
with
me
Wayne
powers,
also
known
as
as
beau
Mitchell,
and
is,
and
is
manager
mom
and
director
Robin
Mitchell,
and
we
are
so
happy
to
have
you
all
with
us
today
and.
B
A
A
You
know
I
think
everybody
would
enjoy
hearing
a
little
bit
about
your
your
career
and
your
your
your
life,
you,
you
certainly
had
it
for
a
young
man.
You
have
certainly
had
a
very
interesting
life.
Tell
us
a
little
bit
about
your.
If
for
people
that
don't
know
you,
you
paid
a
key
role
on
the
eastbound
and
down
on
HBO,
and
you
you
did
have
the
part
of
wayne-powers
for
what
three
or
four
seasons.
C
A
C
A
B
Never
actually
went
to
a
school
from
the
beginning.
He
was
always
in
a
home
school
program
and
then
in
any
TV
show
he
was
on
long
term.
The
TV
show
had
a
teacher
there
and
they
scold
him.
So
HBO
probably
schooled
longer
than
anybody
almost
six
years.
They
scold
him
and
they
actually
finished
him.
Yeah.
C
A
C
C
Out
by
me
it
still
that's
what
you
got
to
do,
and
so
it's
great,
though,
because
they're
very
efficient
on
a
on
a
day
while
I'm
working,
I'm,
also
doing
school
and
I
would
get
a
day's
worth
of
work
done
in
three
or
four
actual
full
school
day
is
done
at
I'm
finished
at
sixteen
I
would
do
a
lot
of
extra
work.
Do
multiple
full
days
in
one.
You
know
one
afternoon
and
get
things
done
a
lot
quicker,
so
you
know
maybe
be
able
to
finish
earlier
and
stuff
like
that.
C
So
because,
as
soon
as
you
actually
get
you
know
finished
with
school
and
graduate
and
you're
done,
you
can
actually
work
full
days
and
then
you
know,
do
more
get
paid
more.
You
know
be
more
out
there
and
stuff,
and
you
know
work
up
for
traveling
on
your
own
without
having
to
have
the
teacher
there
cuz
it
limits
you
a
lot
on
set,
but
still
great
people
all
the
teachers
I've
ever
worked
with
her
awesome,
they're
fun.
They
are
great
it
just
you
know,
making
it
making
it
a
fun
time
learning.
So
it
was
cool.
C
Yeah
eastbound
and
then
a
lot
of
the
stuff
I
filmed
has
actually
been
throughout
the
South.
In
my
younger
years,
like
now
more
recently
it's
been
in
California,
but
there's
a
lot
of
great
there's.
A
huge
film
industry
in
the
south
Ronna
seem
coming
up
now,
Charleston,
you
know
Wilmington
North
Carolina.
Those
are
all
big,
big
film
industries
in
the
south.
So
it's
been
a
lot
of
time
there.
Almost
all
these
spelling
down
six
years,
four
seasons
was
film.
B
A
C
B
B
C
C
C
It's
great
down
you,
man,
I
mean
South.
Carolina
is
starting
to
work
into
that
as
a
whole.
With
there's
some
filming
going
on
real
Beach,
there's
a
Charleston,
so
I
mean
yeah.
It's
it's
trying
to
crank
up
down
here,
be
basically
people
are
hungry,
for
you
know
the
southern
scenery
and
they
can't
get
it
in
North
Carolina
that
much
anymore.
So.
C
A
C
And
the
the
business
I
run
here
we
bring
a
lot
of
out-of-towners
in
so
anytime.
I
get
people
in
whether
they're
just
friends
of
mine,
skating
or
actors.
You
know
filmography
czar
their.
You
know
professional
skateboarders
or
some
type
of
talent
I,
just
like
suck
them
in
trying
to
bring
them
downtown,
try
to
bring
them
around
a
canned
go
see.
Stuff
go
eat
in
places
have
fun
so
yeah.
A
C
C
Skateboarding
started
as
like
a
hobby
for
fun.
You
know
as
a
kid
I
am.
I
did
some
team
sports
and
stuff,
but
traveling
acting
is
not
a
lot
of
team
sports
going
on
because
there's
not
you
know
twenty
kids
running
around
to
do
a
team
sport,
so
I
picked
up
skating
on
and
off
just
because
I
gotten
a
few
boards
and
salt
in
video
games.
You
know
saw
on
TV
and
you
know
something:
I
could
do
it
myself
by
myself.
C
Do
too
with
y'all,
oh
yeah,
friends:
I
can
do
it
with
so
got
very
into
it
at
about
thirteen
or
so
and-
and
that's
I've
been
all
about
it
ever
since,
when
it's
one
of
my
favorite
things
to
do
it's
a
great
it's
a
great
just
to
walk
around
and
go
socialize,
have
fun,
relax,
exercise
and
all
that
kind
of
stuff.
So
well.
A
C
C
Yes,
yeah
yeah.
No,
it
definitely
takes
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
practice,
a
lot
of
skill,
some
natural
talent,
and
then
it
takes
a
lot
of
just
a
lot
of
commitment
to
it.
Man,
you
got
to
do
it
every
day
and
you
know
it's
like
a
it's
like
you
know
you
guys
sharpen
it.
You
know
you
can't
just
do
it
once
and
then
come
back
a
month
later
and
still
be
able
to
do
the
trick.
You
know
so
it's
just
like
anything
else.
Yeah
work
anymore,
yeah
well,.
C
A
A
C
That
came
from
from
just
playing
like
little
league
sports
right
here
in
Aiken
I
would
miss
a
lot
of
practice
for
auditions
and
filming,
and
so
some
coaches
started
calling
me
Hollywood
and
I
thought
it
was
funny
and
stuff.
So
I've
had
a
lot
of
entrepreneurial
experiences
throughout
my
life
and
and
endeavor
in
a
lot
of
businesses
and
stuff.
B
C
B
C
A
fun
name
yet
keep
you
know
for
a
good
umbrella
and
we
we
acronymed
it
into
HIC.
For
you
know,
southern
folks
were
from
the
south
and
why
so?
That
became
the
beginning
of
hick
in
the
skate
shop
in
the
skate
park,
like
I
said,
I
came
back
when
I
was
13
and
my
friends
were
doing
it
after
a
year
or
so.
I
realized
that
there
was
a
need
for
you
know
it
here.
C
We,
we
didn't
really
have
a
pro
shop
at
all,
so
you
either
had
to
travel
like
an
hour
or
ward
off
line,
and
then
you
know
there
wasn't
a
whole
lot
of
places
to
do
it
either.
So
I
was
like
there's
a
need
for
it.
You
know,
I
mean,
might
as
well
try
and
start
up
a
shop,
and
so
we
did
start
a
pro
shop
and
been
working
since
then,
and
now
we're
down
on
a
road
highway.
We
got
a
18,000
square
foot
in
your
facility
at
Pro
Shop
in
there.
A
C
C
So
we
were
really
the
only
stop
in
the
southeast,
so
we
had
people
here
from
Florida
Tennessee
bama,
both
the
Carolinas
Georgia
Virginia,
all
even
more
all
over
the
place
you
know
and
just
coming
in
for
this
contest.
These
contests
are
huge,
like
I
said
they're
worldwide,
so
they
travel
and
when
they
travel,
they
take
each
of
the
winners
from
the
stop
and
it
gives
those
winners
give
those
where
there's
a
chance
to
become.
You
know
a
full
sponsored
skateboarder
boost
them,
kickstart
them
into
a
professional
career
with
it
and
all
sorts
of
stuff.
C
So
it's
a
pretty
big
deal
to
you
know,
get
that
opportunity
as
a
skater,
especially
you
know
from
the
south
and
from
this
area,
there's
not
a
lot
of
exposure
for
it.
You
know
it's
like
it's
like
acting
kind
of
you
wouldn't
expect
it.
You
know
in
a
you,
know,
small
town,
that
you
could
just
become
a
full-blown
actor.
You
know
you
run.
Oh
I
gotta
go
to
California.
B
C
Go
to
New
York,
that's
how
it
is
for
skin.
You
gotta
go
somewhere
where
the
exposure
is
so
for
some
skaters
down
here
with
no
exposure.
Really
it's
a
chance
of
a
lifetime.
So
yeah
we
had
over
500
people
eat
for
about
two
weeks
for
two
different
events
that
came
in
back-to-back
and
what
they
came
in
and
people
the
event.
People
run
the
event
we're
all
from
California
in
LA
and
different
parts
of
Southern
California,
so
they
all
came
in
ran
the
event
filmed
some
montages
of
it.
C
C
Was
brought
in
from
scraps
yeah,
we
brought
some
pros,
and
that
was
great.
We
brought
in
the
professional
skateboarders
from
Team
DGK,
and
that
was
awesome
to
have
them
here.
They're
all
super
talented,
so
they
came
and
hung
out
and
went
around
downtown
saw.
They
made
a
video
at
pizza,
joint
hanging
out.
C
C
B
C
Run,
you
know
simple
stuff
like
for
year
in
office,
removing
all
that
and
a
snack
bar,
and
we
have
the
Pro
Shop
in
there.
So
you
know
you
come
in.
You
see
those
little
areas
where
the
businesses
ran
out
of
then
you
go
back
into
the
skateboard
park
and
it's
this
huge
old
warehouse
I
believe
it
used
to
be
a
cabinet
factory
or
something
bad.
C
C
B
B
A
C
C
A
To
create
an
environment
that
they
feel
like
they
can
be
successful
in
and
you
can
show
their
their
skills.
Yeah
has
to
be
an
achievement,
something
you
I
know:
y'all
are
proud
of
yeah.
How
did
how
did
you
design
all
this
stuff?
It
was
it
just
a.
Was
it
an
inspiration,
you
got
from
different
places
that
you've
been,
or
you
just
sit
there
and
think
now.
I
think
that
would
look
really
neat.
I'm
gonna.
Do
that
yeah.
B
C
Know
people
don't
like
it
so
I
turned
out
great
I.
Think
it's
I've
been
skating
for
a
long
time
and
you
know,
with
acting
I,
was
always
scheming
different
places.
Although
I've
just
been
able
to
see
a
lot
of
cool
stuff,
you
know
a
lot
of
nice
ramps,
a
lot
of
intriguing
designs
and
so
I
just
would
take
all
that
in
you
know,
and
and
always
think,
while
having
cool
to
be
able
to
skate
this,
you
know
at
home
and
not
have
to
be
a
thousand
miles
away.
C
A
C
You
have
to
have
stepping
stones.
You
know
you
can't
go
jump
on
the
biggest
thing
right
away,
so
yeah
things
I
knew
that
you
need
to
step
up
with
and
then
other
things
that
are
just
fun
and
interesting.
Wacky
ideas
and
just
all
over
the
board,
I
tried
to
put
it
all
together
from
over
time,
experiencing
different
parks
and
facilities
growing
up,
designing
it
I,
basically
just
used
like
a
computer
designer
that
designs
skate
parks.
So
you
just
kind
of
it's
really
simple.
C
B
C
C
I
love
building
it
man
cuz,
it's
like
a
it's
like
a
it's
all
kind
of
like
a
pleasure
factor.
You
know
you
skateboard
and
you
get
pleasure
from
it.
You
build
the
ramp,
you
get
pleasure
from
it
and
they
get
that
claw
break
because
you
get
to
build
something
and
then
utilize
it.
You
know
it's
pretty
cool.
You.
C
C
C
Also
known
as
home
for
skateboarding
and
with
that
we're
just
trying
to
get
in
touch
with
all
the
youth
here
in
Aiken,
and
you
know
even
in
a
broader
spectrum,
you
know
and
just
getting
them
in
there
and
giving
them
the
chance
to
be
able
to
have
skateboarding
as
a
hobby.
You
know
and
get
away
for
whatever
is
going
on
and
you
know
get
that
get
that
exercise
a
lot
of
kids.
Don't
click
with
other.
C
You
know
sports,
or
maybe
you
know
they
don't
do
so
good
in
school
or
this
or
that,
but
they
get
to
come,
skate,
have
fun
and
relax
and
fun
something
they
can
enjoy
and
can
do
and
it's
like
skating,
you
know
it's
everyone
can
do
it
a
little
bit.
You
know,
and
so
you
find
that
enjoyment
in
it.
So
we're
trying
to
get
in
touch
with
all
the
kids
right
now
and
get
things
going
to
be.
You
know
a
full-blown
Youth
Center.
C
C
Right
now
we're
just
trying
to
get.
You
know
complete
these
actions.
We
would
love
to
be
able
to.
You
know,
bring
kids
in
from
school,
have
tutors
set
up
for
them,
help
them
with
schoolwork,
and
then
they
get
to
go,
have
physical
exercise
and
skate.
We
set
up
these
contests
to
give
the
locals
a
chance
to
do
something.
You
know,
and
just
so
many
different
levels
of
that's
just
like
a
tip
the
iceberg,
but
dude.
C
A
B
C
B
C
B
C
B
The
next
thing
you
know
it's
a
big
group
of
everybody
and
whether
if
they're
holding
their
hand,
to
teach
them
how
to
go
down
around
and
hang
on
to
them.
First,
you
know
so
they
don't
fall
or
whatever
it
yeah
and
and
they're
out
there.
At
such
a
young
age,
I
mean
there's
five
and
six
year
olds
dropped
off
there
and
they're
training.
You
know
three
or
four
days
a
week,
Wow.
A
C
Yeah
we
had
we've
had
a
couple,
really
talented
ones.
You
know
I
mean
it's
just.
Why
not
to
is
there's
really
not
much
reason.
I,
can't.
Think
of
you
know
you
can
pat
you
could
pat
him
up.
You
can
cover
him,
but
what
happened?
I'll
be
fine
and
you
know
the
way
we
take
care
of
him
there.
We
have
a
lot
of
like
she
said
people.
It's
almost
you
know
they
said
with
the
kids
helping
other
kids
like
it's
almost
primal.
C
C
Start
falling
around
and
trying
to
Geoff
and
then
the
kids
will
be
like.
Oh,
let
me
help
you
with
that
and
then
that
continues
up
those
little
kids
are
looking
at
the
10
year
olds,
they're
looking
at
the
15
year
olds
and
15
year
olds
are
looking
at
me
and
my
friends
are
all
in
their
20s
and
it's,
and
it
keeps
going
up
me
and
my
friends
look
at
these
thirty
and
forty
and
fifty
year
old,
guys
that
you.
C
We
were
in
the
six-year-olds
place
at
once
and
they
were
the
twelve,
but
you
know
it's
a
never-ending
cycle
and
it's
prime,
when
you're
always
following
the
people,
have
you
and
you
get
in
there
and
you
have
a
fifty
year
old
man
skating
and
a
six-year-old
boy
skating
right
beside
each
other,
working
together,
trying
tricks
having
fun
it's
pretty.
It's
pretty
cool
man
I
like
like
that's
one
of
the
biggest
aspects,
and
why
not
to
get
into
it
I
mean
it's
a
it's
a
huge
social
thing
too.
C
I
can
go
anywhere
with
a
skateboard
and,
like
you
said,
doesn't
matter
for
different
races
or
speak
a
different
language.
That's
you
know
at
one
language
kind
of
thing:
it
ties
everyone
together
and
it's
very
good,
a
social
tool,
and
you
know
from
a
more
scientific
standpoint.
You
are
finished
developing
your
you
finish,
developing
your
balance.
By
about
eight,
so
the
more
crazy
stuff
you
can
do
before
eight
to
develop
balance
the
better
you'll
be
at
balancing
you
know
and
you'll
be
able
to
be
more
acrobatic
or
you
know,
have
more
agility
in
a
sense.
C
A
A
B
A
A
B
A
A
B
B
C
A
B
B
C
B
C
Takes
you
know
so
I
see
them
I,
try
to
give
them
a
little
extra
help
and
open
up
some
doors
for
them.
With
you
know
my
connections
I
have
through
the
industries
so
yeah.
Basically,
there's
a
group
of
kids
I
have
right
now
that
range
from
about,
like
you
said
six
or
seven
up
to
about
18
that
are
they're
all
extremely
talented
and
focusing
on
a
couple.
C
14
16
year-olds
right
now
that
are
I
film
and
stuff
too
I
do
a
little
bit
of
filmmaking
for
skating,
so
I
will
film
them
and
then
you
know,
get
them
doing
some
tricks
and
moves,
sending
it
out
to
sponsors
and
connections
in
the
industry,
and
it
just
opens
up
doors
for
them
and
gives
them
a
chance.
Like
you
said,
I've
gotten,
you
know
with
them
being
extremely
talented
and
me
connecting
them
to
the
industry.
We've
gotten
a
couple:
kids
right
now
that
are,
you
know,
full-ride
in
a
sense
you
know,
for
some.
C
Understand
that
turn
you
know
a
full-ride,
they
have
the
shoes,
they
have
the
clothing,
they
have
the
skateboards
and
they're
basically
completely
taken
care
of,
and
it's
you
know
that
no
skateboarding
is
a
free
sport
for
them
to
participate
in
the
companies,
take
care
of
them
and
they
push
them.
And
you
know
in
a
couple
years,
if
they
continue
progressing,
that
company
will
just
give
them
a
contract.
You
start
giving
them
a
salary
and
they'll
start
traveling.
The
world
is
a
skateboarder
yeah.
C
C
A
B
B
We
do
skates
giving
every
year-
or
we
give
you
know,
150
kids,
free
Thanksgiving,
you
know
dinner
and
we
feed
them
and
just
so
many
other
program.
We
do
some
free,
after-school
tutoring
right
now
with
the
skaters
they're
in
the
park
every
day.
So
there's
so
many
programs
that
we
do
there
in
the
park
and
everything
pretty
much
right
now
is
funded.
B
A
B
Some
and
then
we
have
a
few
employees.
You
know
that
help
us
out,
but
it
would
just
be
nice
to
see
the
community.
You
know
make
some
donations
we're
always
having
events
that
cost
money.
So
you
know
donating
to
those
events
donating
to
to
what
we
can
do
more
after
school.
We
would
love
to
eventually
purchase
a
small
bus
to
try
and
go
pick
kids
up
after
school.
So
that's
in
the
works
as
well.
B
B
C
C
C
C
C
A
C
A
C
B
B
Skate
park
isn't
yeah
if
it
were
not
for
him
and
the
passion
that
he
has.
There
would
be
no
skate
park
here.
He
purchased
the
skate
park
when
it
went
up
for
sale
from
Odell
weeks.
That
is
there
too,
and
more
of
that
is
going
up.
More
funds
that
come
in
is
going
to
pour
more
cement
inside
now.
So
we.
