Show Notes
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.
More from 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.
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.
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.
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.
It’s a proper kitchen-table catch-up this week as Terrie and David go from Irish surnames and dodgy glasses, to the absolute headwreck of top-up phones, loud chewing, and trying to get five minutes’ peace in a house full of kids and dogs.
