This month, Olly, Alix and Ollie gather round the podcasting chimney for a festive knees-up, with musical guest Ashley Singh and entrepreneur Jules Parker.
There are yuletide songs, holiday films, a ‘Christmas collab’ - and, of course, the LEGENDARY XXXMas Foxhole Christmas Quiz.
Ho ho ho!

First up, Ollie Peart has bought his one year-old child a skateboard, so can he be trusted to go into business with fabulous start-ups run by Mann-fans?
(Spoiler: yes he can - and you can buy the result NOW at https://modernmann.co.uk/shop)
With the help of Manchester’s Brick Chocolate, beard specialists Runesilk and craft evangelists Knit Slips, Ollie wraps up 2022 with a collab-tastic way to support British artisan producers.

Then, there’s some superb live music - in the form of an exclusive acoustic performance from singer-songwriter Ashley Singh, whose heartbreak anthem Autopilot is our Record of the Month 👇
In our chat, Ashley also reveals his disappointing middle name, explains why he has a burner phone, and reveals his soft-spot for Jim Broadbent!

Next up, Jules Parker, a metalworker from East Sussex, has come to chat to Olly.
His side-hustle is Moot - a lingerie store for men, offering sensual underwear for people with penises.
Does he see a mainstream future for lacey men’s undies? And what does he wear when he goes to the GP? Jules reveals all…

Finally, Alix Fox has outdone herself with a laugh-out-loud edition of our annual XXXmas Foxhole Quiz.
This year, Olly takes on Ollie in a game of ‘Murder She Scrote’; erotic titles are conjured from thin air; and there’s a harrowing round of ‘Two Ollies, One Cup’.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year.
