The Après

Tim and Jenny are live (and surprisingly still alive) from the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy! While Ollie is back home navigating the treacherous waters of "nursery dad nights" and Cornish rain, the duo in the Alps are dodging avalanches and accidental fame. This episode is a deep dive into the high-octane world of Olympic snowboarding and skiing, featuring everything from heartbreaking near-misses to historic British gold.


PSA: Stay Safe! 🏔️ A serious note on the gnarly Alpine conditions—90 avalanche deaths this season is no joke. Tim and Jenny give the "stay alive" talk before the fun starts.


The BBC "Blackout" explained: Ever wonder why you missed Mia Brooks' qualifying run? Tim breaks down the BBC’s "two-stream" dilemma and the agony of watching Mia’s fall live while pretending to be professional on camera.


Kirsty Muir is a Boss: Two 4th place finishes might be the "worst" result, but Kirsty skied her socks off. We talk about her incredible comeback from surgery and why she’s the "skier's skier".


GOLD FOR TEAM GB! 🥇 The absolute highlight: Hugh Nightingale and Charlotte Banks crushing the Mixed Team Boarder Cross. Jenny shares the behind-the-scenes "well of doom" interview and the epic redemption arc after their singles disappointment.


Hair Braiding & "Commentary Juice": Tim reveals his secret talent for blow-drying hair that’s destroying his wife’s confidence, and the team introduces their post-work beverage of choice (Don't tell the bosses!).


Tim’s New Followers: 15,000+ and counting. Is he the new Ben Shepherd? Probably.


Bum Bruises: 1 (Poor Timmy’s tailbone vs. a poma lift).


Commentary Juice: Strictly consumed after the P45-risk hours.

Coming Up Next: The Halfpipe finals are under the lights on Saturday! Get your "telly boxes" ready for Zoe Atkin. We’ll be back once the team crawls home on their hands and knees from the closing celebrations.

Mia and Kirsty Muir may have missed out on medals with their fourth-place finishes on "Mental Medal Monday," but the level of riding was nothing short of legendary. This episode of The Apres dives into the high-stakes pressure of the Olympic finals, from the "broken flow" of a course plagued by poorly placed tunnels to Mia Brookes’ death-defying decision to huck a 1620 when she was "bricking it" at the top of the run. We break down the technicality of the Big Air finals, the historic rise of Japanese snowboarding, and why even the world's best qualifiers sometimes struggle to convert that top spot into gold.

Beyond the slopes, we’re catching up on the "rowdy" atmosphere in Livigno as the British fans take over the high street. Jenny shares her awkward run-in with snowboard cross royalty, and we answer your burning questions—including the truth about Olympic twins and whether those annoying camera drones are actually flown by robots. Whether you're here for the "steeze," the stats, or just to hear about Scotty James’ love for Love Actually, grab a drink and join the conversation.

The Winter Olympics have officially taken over the mountains, and Tim Warwood is reporting live from Lavigno. While Ollie Peart deals with the rain back home, Tim is navigating 1,800 meters of altitude, dry nostrils, and the "lawless" vibe of a town that feels like the Wild West of winter sports.

In this episode, we go behind the scenes of what might be the most compact and chaotic Olympic venue ever built. From "medium-sized" Big Air jumps to the dietary habits of the BBC commentary team, this is the side of the Olympics the mainstream cameras don't show you.


The Venue Layout: Why building an Olympic arena in a disused car park might actually be a stroke of genius.


"Medium Air": Tim discusses why the jumps are 19 meters instead of the usual monsters and what that means for the riders.


The Olympic Bubble: Living with Ed Leigh and Jenny Jones, self-catering on the license payer's dime, and the mystery of "activated nuts."


The NBC "Enemy": Sizing up the American commentary competition (Todd Richards, we're looking at you).


Mia Brooks’ Baggy Pants: The story of the one-eyed seamstress from Cheshire who saved Team GB’s style.


Listener Correspondence: A brutal update on Liam’s jaw-shattering crash and the status of the legendary "Apres Pod" tattoo.

"It feels like you’re back in the prospecting days where you can go and stake a claim and the police can't catch you... I am pig in shit mate. I am loving it." — Tim Warwood

We are live from the mountains! Jen and Jonesy are coming to you from the legendary LAAX Open in Switzerland. Ollie is conspicuously absent (we explain why, and yes, it involves us leaving him hanging), so it’s a duo mission today.
The "froth" levels are high as we discuss celebrity sightings, the insane progression in the halfpipe, and the pressure of Olympic qualification. Plus, we break down the brutal reality of the "Home Run" and why Peter Crouch was getting a ski lesson from a Team GB coach.
🎙️ Key Highlights
Where is Ollie?
Ollie isn’t here. Is he dead? No. Was he livid because Jen and Jonesy forgot to record with him twice due to a mix of work and après? Yes. An official apology is issued.
The LAAX Open Vibe

Jen gets starstruck seeing Ayumu Hirano with a towel and Scotty James (fresh off watching his Netflix doc, Pipe Dream).

Discussion on the insane wealth in snowboarding (thanks to the Stroll connection) and the current "rude health" of the Halfpipe discipline.

The Scott McMorris Incident

Old snowboard pro and "3D Printed" human Scott McMorris joins the crew for a shred.

Peer pressure from Ed Leigh leads to a disastrous attempt at a board slide on a down rail.

Result: A classic "coy whiplash" and a massive bruise on the bottom.

The Random Peter Crouch Spot

Jen bumps into football legend Peter Crouch in the queue.

He’s fast approaching "National Treasure" status but might need to switch to snowboarding because those skis looked huge.

Fun Fact: He was getting a lesson from Mia Brookes' coach!

Competition Updates & Olympic Dreams

Val Guseli: The Aussie Wonder Kid is going huge and potentially qualifying for both Pipe and Slopestyle.

Jamie Anderson: A heartfelt look at her comeback attempt. It wasn't to be this time, but maximum respect for the effort while juggling motherhood.

The Chloe Kim Situation: She’s out with a shoulder injury, meaning the showdown with Korean phenom Gaon Choi is delayed until Milan.
