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.

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.
