Summary

Nick Goepper won three Olympic medals in slopestyle, then called it a career and retired. Fast forward a year, and Nick is out of retirement, and he has his goals set: rebranding himself and making the Olympic Halfpipe team. On the podcast, we talk about how hard that will be, all things Goepper, and then I do a mini-podcast with the man behind the scenes of Nick’s rebrand, controversial pro skier Steve Stepp. This one’s a little different; think two guys, one mic.

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.
0:17.6	I'm your host Mike Powell, and if you've been listening to my intros lately, you've been hearing about all of my bad luck.
0:23.9	For example, one week, both of my car batteries died at the same time.
0:27.9	So I had worked on both cars to get them back in driving condition, and then the next week, the car we just spent a grand on, is totaled.
0:35.6	Shit like that keeps happening.
0:37.0	And the weird thing is that
0:38.7	every bad thing happens after a really good thing happens or vice versa. And I was hoping that my
0:44.4	family would have one full week of nothing this week. So Ange came back from her Vegas vacation
0:49.6	and she had an amazing time at the Bravo Con. And then two days later, she takes Keaton to see Travis Scott,
0:56.1	a sick concert, and really life is good for us, until the weekend, when I test positive for
1:01.5	COVID. Ange also has it, and Keaton was spared the virus. The good news is that Anne's isn't

1:13.2	I had 102.5 fever, my whole body was hurting, I can't taste anything, and everything smells like
1:19.2	ammonia to me. It hasn't been fun, but it's almost comical, this string of bad luck.
1:24.2	I will say that while I thought 2022 was the worst year of my life,
1:28.2	2022 taught me that life comes at you sometimes, but 2023 is really the worst year of my life
1:33.9	by far. But enough about my problems, you hear about them way too much, and hopefully I'll have
1:39.8	nothing to report in the next intro. But who cares about next week when this week I'm going to be
1:44.4	doing things a little bit differently? I've interviewed six-time X-Games gold medalist and three-time
1:49.3	Olympic medalist Nick Gepper back in 2016. And recently, he retired from slope-style skiing
