This week on the pod, we welcome a brand new addition to the SR family as Pete introduces us to his new dog Rodney - and we’re already obsessed!

This week, Sam missed the Monday meeting… again. Which led to a full team vote on who we’d rather trust with the company: Pete or Sam. With Tess and Claudia leaving Strictly , the boys’ names have somehow been thrown into the mix, so Sam gets his very own glitterball audition. Also Christmas chat is creeping in too and Pete’s already annoyed, but we rope him into reviewing meal deals with a bit of Mariah Carey singing thrown in.
