We are back! After a chaotic start involving a failed intro about a burger and a vitamin water (don’t ask, just listen), we dive straight into a massive couple of weeks for snow sports.
Jenny gives us the courtside lowdown from the LAAX Open—arguably the greatest halfpipe competition of all time—including the moment she had to perform light medical duty on Yuto Totsuka’s broken nose. Tim gets starstruck interviewing Scotty James after binge-watching Pipe Dreams, and we discuss his historic run.

But the real story? The Girls. We are breaking down the historic British female dominance at the X Games. Mia Brooks and Kirsty Muir are taking over the world, while we ask the important question: Where have all the men gone?
Plus, we look ahead to the Olympics (Tim and Jenny are packing their bags!), solve a listener's crisis in a French hospital, and drop the ultimate money-saving hack for anyone flying into Geneva.
