Happy New Year, Frothers! Ollie has officially entered The 40 Club (after a fever dream involving orthopedic Birkenstocks and a Spyder onesie). Support the show here: buymeacoffee.com/theaprespov This week, we ask the big questions: Is Ben Shephard actually AI? Are Ed Leigh’s goggles getting bigger every year? And do we need to sell a kidney to afford tickets to the 2026 Olympics? 🎧 On The Show: Ski Sunday Review: We give it "mid-thumbs." Ed is celebrating 20 years, but we’re mostly focused on whether his Dragon goggles are actually fish bowls. The "Mother-Hecking" Olympics: Listener Katie writes in about living the Van Life just to afford the €200 Big Air tickets. (Sorry, Tim’s driveway is full). Tattoo Watch: Listener Liam claims he’ll get The Aprés logo tattooed on his bum. We are officially waiting for proof. LAAX Open: Jenny is prepping (barely) for commentary duty. Send in your questions for the athletes! 📍 Notes & Links: Milan Cortina 2026: Tickets are live and expensive. Start saving. Ed Leigh on Climate Change: Check out Ed's piece on BBC Sport regarding snow conditions. Get in Touch: Got a tattoo of our faces? Email us at [email protected] or find us on Insta @theaprespod.
