Summary

Lindsey Jacobellis was the darling of the 2022 Olympic Games with her double gold performance. But while Lindsey has always been a podium threat (she’s a 10x X-Games Gold Medalist) when she crashed and took silver at the 2006 Olympic Games, the world made her a villain and now, almost 20 years later, she finally has that Olympic Gold. This episode is all about Lindsey’s incredible redemption story, and we talk about her upbringing, Palmer, the Olympic blunder, winning, and so much more. Alex Diebold asks 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,
0:18.4	and I have to start this thing out by telling you what an incredible Labor Day weekend I had.
0:23.0	This whole story starts back in 2022.
0:25.8	When I was looking at the GameTime app, and this is an app that I use for concert tickets and sporting events,
0:31.2	and they don't pay me at all, but they have pretty amazing pricing for tickets.
0:34.6	So I'm on this app in 2022, and I see Metallica and Pantera is coming to Seattle.
0:40.0	And by accident, I push a button and next thing I know, I not only bought tickets to Metallica Pantera,
0:45.4	but I also bought tickets to Metallica five-finger death punch. So I ended up spending 60 bucks a night
0:50.8	to sit in the nosebleeds and see these two shows. And while I had kind of

0:59.3	And I was so psyched when I realized they were just a couple weeks away when I looked at my phone
1:03.3	and realized I had tickets. I haven't seen Metallica since Woodstock 94, and I've never ever seen Pantera but I've always wanted to even if Dimebag Daryl and Vinny aren't around.
1:12.6	So for the first night my plan was to meet up with some buddies and then go see Pantera and Metallica.
1:18.6	The guys I met for beers all had shit seats as well so when we got to the stadium we headed straight for the bar at section 146 and we found a great standing room only area, and we watched
1:28.2	Pantera from there. It was heavy, and it was really good, and you could see, like, the dust
1:32.4	kicking up in the moss pit. It looks so awesome and so fun down there, and I wish I was down there,
1:37.0	but I wasn't. The one thing that did suck about Pantera's set was the sound was off, and,
1:41.4	while I could blame Lumen Field, it's not their fault.
1:48.3	Whoever's Pantera's sound guy was didn't really dial them in well and did them a disservice.
