The dog was a dick from the start. But we’ve realised, after listening to other people’s podcasts (even the famous ones), that everyone seems to have a dickhead dog barking at a leaf or two outside their window. Ours finally settles, Thom finally sits down, and Dunn can at last talk about failure; falling off the pre-diabetic wagon and wondering if blueberries and Greek yoghurt might taste better with a few Celebrations on top. It’s nearly Christmas after all.

Thom’s not feeling festive, though. If only there were a Worzel Gummidge head she could swap to, the one that likes tinsel, bread sauce, and people. We also spiral into a very deep chat about potatoes (naturally), nearly launching a campaign for a potato board with melted cheese. Honestly, who doesn’t love potatoes?

Good news from across the pond, the FDA has finally seen sense and ditched the outdated, fear-mongering black box warning from HRT leaflets. We also debate which one of us would be rocking in the corner and who’d be the stabby one without our HRT.

Dunn tries to get Thom to work both sides of her brain at once, spoiler alert: it doesn’t go well. And if you’re wondering, no, a peri bottle isn’t a bottle of wine for women on their period (though it should be).

Tune in for all the good stuff, the foisty stuff, and our favourite people to follow and watch this week.
