£12,000 Wine Flips & The Cardboard "Slit" Checker

As the snow turns to slush and the mountain bikers start reclaiming the trails from the skiers, the crew retreats to the log cabin for one last winter debrief. This episode is a wild ride from the high seas to the factory floor. We dive into a legendary "mega-yacht" story involving Bobby Brown, Whitney Houston, and some extremely expensive wine, before descending into the dark pits of our collective employment history. From checking "slits" in a cardboard factory to turning a lid-cutting warehouse into a ninja star arena, we’re celebrating the end of the season by remembering the jobs that made us who we are (and made us never want to go back). Plus, we look ahead to our massive live event at the Tamworth Snowdome with guests Jonno Verity and DJ BBQ.

Snow Camp, Jägermeister and Sleepy Tim

Grab a cold one and kick off your boots! In this high-altitude episode of The Apres, we’re coming to you live-ish from the sun deck in Val Thorens. Tim and Jenny have been getting stuck into the festivities at the AJ Bell Three Valley Rally, all in the name of the incredible charity, Snow-Camp. Between Tim getting caught snoozing on a balcony and Jenny demonstrating some "flexible" drinking techniques with a bottle of Jägermeister, the team dives into the gritty reality of spring riding. We’re talking "porridge" snow, navigating whiteouts using secret pole codes, and the absolute chaos of renting a car on the "wrong side" of the French-Swiss border. Plus, Tim finally fixes a binding issue he’s had for six months, and Ollie calls out the world's most questionable height claim. It’s fast, it’s slushy, and it’s full of "Liquid Sunshine." Let’s get stuck in! ⛷️🔥 * 00:00 - Introduction & Jägermeister Shenanigans 🥃 Jenny explains the "bottle on the floor" game involving splits and zero hands. * 02:12 - Balcony Naps & Liquid Sunshine ☀️ Tim gets caught doing "business calls" (sleeping) while the party rages below in Val Thorens. * 03:15 - Riding in "Porridge" & Whiteouts 🥣 The team discusses the brutal spring conditions where you can't turn—you just point and pray. * 04:52 - Pro Tip: Color-Coded Piste Poles 🚩 A life-saving revelation on how to use yellow pole caps to stay on the piste during a whiteout. * 06:58 - Snow-Camp: Changing Lives 💙 An inside look at how Snow-Camp helps inner-city young people find careers in the snow sports industry. * 10:10 - Tim’s Midlife Crisis Haircut 💇‍♂️ Tim debuts his new crew cut and discusses the "midlife crisis" vibes of the rally. * 11:58 - The Geneva Airport Nightmare ✈️ Passport control chaos and the ultimate fail of renting a "French car" in a Swiss airport. * 15:06 - Bindings & The "9-Year-Old" Stance 🏂 Tim admits to riding with loose bindings for months and setting his stance up like a child. * 18:25 - The Great 6’2” Height Debate 📏 Tim claims he’s over 6 feet tall; Ollie and the rest of the world strongly disagree. * 21:10 - Tamlands Live & Easter Eggs 🐣 A look ahead to the live podcast at Snowdome Tamworth on the 28th.

Lip Plumpers, Cadaver Pecs, and Parenting Fails in Obergurgl

Welcome back to the chalet! In this week's episode of The Apres, the gang is split between the UK and the Austrian Alps, and things get weird almost immediately. From accidental cosmetic "enhancements" to the dark side of plastic surgery, we’re covering it all before hitting the slopes. In This Episode: * The "Botox" Incident: Jenny arrives with a suspiciously plump pout, but it’s not a procedure—it’s a high-stakes encounter with a stepdaughter’s "tingling" red lip oil. * Tim’s Austrian Odyssey: Tim checks in from Obertauern, reporting live on the return of winter. He’s been carving through the powder in Obergurgl and Hochgurgl, taking in the 3,000m views of Italy and living his best "business class" ski life. * The Commentator’s Curse: We revisit the viral clip of Tim’s daughter, Wren, taking a spectacular tumble in the snowpark while Tim—ever the professional—continues to commentate the "crash" instead of rushing to the rescue. * Cadaver... What?: Ollie drops some truly horrifying knowledge about the latest trends in cosmetic surgery involving "donated" tissue. Let’s just say Jenny is sticking to her lip oil. * Listener Mailbag: * We settle a score on name pronunciations (sorry, Kim!). * We meet Penny Bennett, the 39-year-old beginner who proves you’re never too old to get obsessed with snowboarding and Scotty James. * Adam from Winchester steps up with a legendary offer: a Burton Custom X for Tim, provided he can actually ride a board that stiff. 🚨 THE BIG ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨 Join us for the World’s First Official Apres In-Person Record-Along and Ride-Along! * Where: Tamworth Snowdome * When: Tuesday, April 28th * The Deal: Come shred with Tim, Jenny, and Ollie followed by a live podcast recording. * Discount: Use code THEAPRES at the Snowdome booking system for 15% off your all-night slope pass.

We have a HUGE announcement

We’re back, and the energy is as high as the price of mountain chips. This week, we kick things off with Ollie’s mid-life-crisis-in-reverse: a 2016 Citroën C4 Picasso. It has multiple cup holders, flat-folding seats for B&Q runs, and apparently, the "sound of dreams." We also settle (or fail to settle) the age-old debate: Is AdBlue actually pig urine? Beyond the garage talk, we have the biggest announcement in the show’s history and a deep dive into the recent madness in Flachau. In this episode: * Ollie’s New Whip: 1.6L of raw BlueHDi power. Ollie defends his new Picasso, while Jenny and Tim try to figure out if it's a car or a very small bus. * The AdBlue Truth: We go deep on diesel additives. Is it a conspiracy? Is it livestock waste? Does Jenny’s Transporter even care? * TAMWORTH LIVE! The big reveal. We’re taking the show to the Tamworth Snowdome on Tuesday, April 28th. We’re recording live from 6-7 PM, then hitting the slope for a massive ride-along from 7-10 PM. * The Code: Use THEAPRES (all caps) for 15% off your slope tickets for the night. * Spring Battle & Mia Brookes: Ollie recaps the absolute scenes at Absolute Park. We talk FPV drones, "claiming a run," and why Ollie is personally offended by the BBC’s choice of photography for Mia’s World Cup win. * Apres Nostalgia: Jenny returns from a star-studded (and fur-lined) week in Courchevel. We talk St. Paddy’s Day, the legendary band Bring Your Sisters, and Ollie’s 2008 first-kiss revelation. * The Fish Vest: Tim explains how to survive the resort food prices by looking like a local angler. The Essential Info: * Live Show: Tamworth Snowdome * Date: Tuesday, April 28th * The Hookup: Use code THEAPRES for 15% off slope tickets. https://www.snowdome.co.uk/ Learn more about your ad choices.
