Summary
Inappropriate Questions is how I end every show. The idea is that I find a friend of my guest and record 3 questions with them. The questions can be anything that gets the guest to tell a funny, crazy, embarrassing or really, any good story. The goal is to get some gold without pissing off the guest when I surprise them with the questions. This week, I have a long list of legends on this highlight show. Think Shannon Dunn, Tina Basich, Andy Hetzel, Colby Stevensen, Dane Tudor, Peter Olenick and many more. This is a fan favorite segment of the show, and this is some of the best of them.

| 0:02.3 | It's time to talk some shit on the Powell Movement. |
| 0:13.3 | Welcome to the Powell Movement. |
| 0:17.1 | I'm your host, Mike Powell, |
| 0:18.5 | and this week I have an episode that I do twice a year in back-to-back weeks, the best of inappropriate questions. |
| 0:25.6 | I went back through my archives, and I pulled the best questions and answers we've had in inappropriate questions and put them all together right here for you. |
| 0:34.6 | When I do this, it creates a lot of talking for me, and since I'm in the darkest place I've ever been in my entire life, I'm sure there's going to be some talk about Ange, my wife who I've recently lost. A lot of you have been reaching out and asking how I'm doing, and thank you for that. And to let you know, I'm broken. This hasn't gotten any easier yet, and I really think I'm going to need to get |
| 0:54.5 | through every holiday at least once before I can start my life over. I need to experience |
| 0:58.8 | everything without ands to understand what that's like. And while I've been miserable, I've |
| 1:03.6 | been keeping as busy as I possibly can with two jobs, three parties that I need to plan, |
| 1:08.6 | three podcasts, and two live events all in the next few weeks. |
| 1:12.3 | I'm going bat-shit crazy with all the different things going on, and then you add in some |
| 1:16.7 | unnecessary family drama, and well, life is really crazy. |
| 1:20.8 | The good news is I've slowed down on the drinking a little bit, and I'm trying to get back |
| 1:25.1 | into my work groove. |
| 1:26.4 | Speaking of work, I'm also at diecut stickers.com. You know this if you've been listening for a while, because my family needed insurance, and DiCut came through when we needed them most, and that was what made us not go bankrupt and be able to pay for Ange's treatment that she needed before she passed. So I'm stoked to work for Die Cut, and I want you buy all your stickers, tense, banners, and whatever from me. If you have any needs, email me at mike.powel at diecut stickers.com and I'll get you 15% off your total order with my podcast discount. You'll get the best pricing on the planet. But you didn't turn in to get sold stickers or anything like that you're here for the |
