Ten Down

It’s suddenly freezing, the hot water bottles are out, and Terrie and David are back at it — starting with Jake the dog basically running the whole house schedule like he pays rent. There’s full-on sideline parenting chat (are they WAGs, MAGs, or just “mads”?) as Sydney smashes camogie and stage school… while Terrie’s Halloween ghosts get taken out by the “southern wind” (according to David the human compass). Plus: Terrie’s big TV moment filming TK Maxx’s Make It Iconic with the iconic Michelle Visage, a Jason Derulo “ick” debate, teachers on strike, a terrifying coffin story, phrase origins, and a listener dilemma about raising “three kids”… capped off with a phantom shitter revelation.

Terrie’s running on about 20% with a brewing chest infection and the fear, while David is somehow 100% and looking for answers… starting with a full interrogation of Terrie’s “quick” Monday night out. There’s margaritas, the Pussycat Dolls in the 3Arena (with suspiciously empty seats), losing the girls like it’s The Walking Dead, a taxi-driver McDonald’s run, and the absolute horror of waking up still covered in tan and body shimmer. Then it takes a turn into plague-lab TikTok rabbit holes, a creepy unsolved(ish) Malahide murder from 1926, and why Monster before bed is too much. Plus: Sydney turning five with a killer-whale/shark party, stage school nerves, and a lovely listener email on parent guilt and how two feelings can be true at once.

Terrie brings Sydney into town for a YSL beauty event… and ends up rattled by how unsafe Dublin City feels after seeing drug use in broad daylight, sparking a proper chat about safety, addiction, and why supervised injection centres might actually help.Plus: the Next PR trip to London, David’s first-ever fashion brand shoot (hello, Blue Steel), celeb-name confusion, Netflix “Monster” chat, and the tired-parent reality of zero binge-watching.And of course, Sydney steals the show at the end.

Terrie’s back with the girlies’ tan, a brand‑new iPhone, and absolutely zero access to her emails — while David tries to survive the chaos (and the dressing gown pile-up) in peace. Then it’s full-on “shit magnet” territory as Terrie recounts a mid‑flight collapse, getting dragged into nurse mode, dodgy onboard oxygen, and Ryanair having the cheek to charge them for water after the drama. Plus: Terrie meets Michelle Keegan and goes full starstruck, David scuffs the car, Terrie wipes out in her brand‑new YSL heels, and they somehow still make it to The Traitors finale… before the Government’s “leaflet of doom” sends them spiralling into bunker chat.

David’s “lucky to be here” after his second venesection… and Terrie is absolutely not letting him away with claiming he didn’t faint. From sore needles and oxygen tubes to the ongoing “vaso vagal” (or “vaso bagel”) debate, it’s chaos from the first minute. Then it’s puppy heartbreak as foster Eddie meets his new family, and the pair admit fostering is way tougher when Jake isn’t impressed. Plus: a listener email about workplace jealousy and taking the high road, a quick rant about Trump’s Ireland visit, Terrie getting mistaken for 27, and the random petrol-station drama that ends the episode.
