Summary
Inappropriate Questions has been a staple of The Powell Movement podcast over the past couple of seasons. But did you know the show pre-dates TPM? Years ago, I had a podcast with Powder Magazine called "Sponsored," and to build my own audience off that show, I created Inappropriate Questions as a stand-alone podcast and put it out on the TPM feed. When Powder killed the Sponsored pod, I pulled old IQ episodes off the internet, knowing I would create what you are listening to today. So please enjoy this special two-part episode, Inappropriate Questions from the Vault: The Sponsored Years

| 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 if everything went right, I'm back at my desk after 10 days of vacation while you're listening to this. |
| 0:23.9 | The plans of while I'm recording this are to fly to D.C. to do some uplifting things like see the Holocaust Museum and the Smithsonian. |
| 0:31.0 | Then, I will drink too many beers with my high school friends, wake up on Saturday, and head to Rahobith Beach, Delaware. |
| 0:37.3 | I'm pretty sure I've |
| 0:38.1 | told you many times how great I am at beach games. Ring toss and ski ball are staples in my life there, |
| 0:43.8 | and I've won 10 free ski ball games a day for life on multiple occasions on the boardwalk. |
| 0:49.1 | Unfortunately, the arcade where I won these 10 free games was purchased and the name changed, |
| 0:56.8 | and they don't honor my free ski ball for life games anymore. |
| 1:03.3 | Which I did the math around and if I lived at the beach and I lived till 70 years old and went every day to the arcade, |
| 1:07.4 | those 10 free games would be worth $15,000 by the time I died. |
| 1:11.6 | So it is worth a pretty penny and I feel like I've had them taken for me, but I'm not going to be pursuing any legal action about ski ball, because while I care about |
| 1:16.3 | it, I don't care that much. But what I'm best at the beach is Papa Shot, and I'm not |
| 1:21.5 | going to call myself unbeatable, because I've seen internet videos of people who are better |
| 1:25.1 | than me, and my cousin has beaten me once in the past 15 years, and I know he's pretty bummed on that. But on the boardwalk, I don't think |
| 1:32.2 | there are many people better. I'm the king. I usually set the high score in a game or two and can play |
| 1:37.0 | about seven games a day before my performance starts falling off because my arms get tired. |
| 1:41.8 | Really, what a loser I am. Like the best things I can do in life |
| 1:45.6 | are playing pop a shot and I can drink a beer really, really fast too. Those of you saw me do my |
| 1:50.2 | beer drinking challenges back during the pandemic can vouch for that. And if you're wondering, |
