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 I'm going to start things out this week with some hippie shit.
0:21.2	If you listen to this show, you know I love going to see different versions of the Grateful Dead with my high school buddy Steve.
0:27.7	Now, I do like some of the Dead's music, but I don't really actively listen to them.
0:32.7	The reason I've been going to shows is all about nostalgia.
0:35.5	They remind me of the fun I had seeing them in college,
0:38.3	and that was more about the party in the parking lot than the music. I mean, my musical
0:42.3	tastes revolve around punk rock, metal, and old school rap. I like my music fast and loud, so

1:15.7	to the band. He was friends with one of the dudes in there, and that's pretty much all I knew.
1:20.0	And to prepare for the show, I asked Malone to send me a couple of playlists so I could get
1:24.0	familiar with their music, and I listened to them for a week or so, so I wouldn't
1:27.5	be coming in totally blind. We saw the show on a Saturday, and Malone had seen Goose the night
1:32.4	before in Montana, and then did a crazy flight over here to Seattle that got him here at 6.30
1:37.2	in the morning on three hours of sleep. I picked him up from the airport, I took him to Easy Street
