Ten Down

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. They recap the Stellar Awards (arriving last, of course), share the “good news segment” about pets finally being allowed on public transport, and get into the big one: social media for kids, digital footprints, and why platforms should be doing more. Plus, Miles’ first birthday teddy bear picnic, and Terrie’s thought‑provoking message from a single mam that turns into a lesson in grace — before a maddening NSPCA waiting-room story that explains exactly why shelters are bursting.

David’s back from Portugal sounding “bunged up” but feeling weirdly fresh — because he’s officially in his “granddad hours” era: loads of water, the odd 7Up, and not writing himself off for once. The pair chat sober-curious life, balance, and why nights out hit different now. Then the episode takes a turn as they open up about David’s health scare: a 40th-birthday blood test, high iron, genetic testing, and his first venesection. It’s honest, a bit heavy, and a big reminder to be proactive and advocate for yourself. Plus: the foster puppies are still running the house.

Terrie has officially upped the ante… and David is in bits. One minute they’ve three kids, the next it feels like five — because Terrie has brought home not one, but TWO foster puppies from the NSPCA. They’re seven weeks old, adorable puppies and suddenly David’s packing for Portugal while Terrie’s bracing herself to solo-parent the full zoo.Also on the menu: the Brown Thomas carpark scrape that’ll cost a small fortune, a chaotic night that turns into 4am shots with The Weeknd’s security, and the big “sober curious” chat—are they finally giving up the drink?

Back from Portugal and absolutely banjaxed, Terrie and David sit on the couch doing a full post-holiday debrief: too much travel, too many jobs, a front door full of packages, and the strong realisation that the kids mightn’t see another holiday till they’re 16 or 17.They get into the chaos of “family holidays” — the constant complaining, naps getting ruined, apartments vs hotels, and why the heat nearly finished them.Plus: the Faro Airport queue from hell with private-jet VIP drama, Terrie’s Aldi “supermarket sweep”, a chaotic birthday dinner, and David’s mysteriously purple finger.

Terrie and David are back and it kicks off with David diagnosing himself with full-on “Stockholm syndrome” after a proper barnie in the car — plus a quick foot update nobody asked for. Then it takes a turn when Terrie tells the story of a random man trying to take a selfie with Sydney, the awkward aftermath… and the slow‑mo fall that had her losing sleep for days. They get into the reality of being a parent in 2026: lost kids at festivals, dads bringing daughters into toilets, and what’s actually appropriate. Also on the agenda: Dermot Kennedy at the Aviva (third attempt, nearly missed it), teething chaos, a new mattress/skip saga, and David absolutely losing it over the six‑week hose ban.

Terrie and David are back, absolutely shattered after a 3-hours-there-4-hours-back family spin to Roe Valley — and David’s still raging that nobody offered to drive while he tried to “keep everyone alive” on the motorway.There’s car-charge stops, Myles turning into a demon the second he wakes up, and Sydney proving she’s Terrie's ride-or-die… while also being fully ready to call 999 because “the guard knows me.”They chat hormones, being type A vs type “can’t exist,” Love Island drama (justice for Charlene Murphy), and a listener dilemma about jealousy in friendships.Plus: curly toenails, foot-rot accusations, and the chaos that is Terrie’s “makeup room” dump.

Terrie and David are back from the cruise and giving you a rundown on the absolute carnage — from the *massive* Legend of the Seas (20 floors, drones, YouTubers with security, and a buffet so good they barely left it) to why they’re already plotting a Caribbean one next year.They get weirdly deep about how a ship that weighs 248,000 tons can even float… and then swing straight back into reality: Myles is crawling, head-banging for reactions, and Jake is apparently “getting a bit senile”.Plus: the Ryanair seat scam rant, the motion-sensor toilet door disaster, and Rome in a heatwave nearly ending the marriage over a €5 bottle of water.

Terrie and David are recording on borrowed time Sydney’s watching a movie, Myles is finally napping, and they’ve just realised they nearly forgot to record… while also packing for their first ever cruise!

Terry and David are back with a seriously chaotic catch-up — from recording ads that nearly ended the relationship, to Terry coming home from a hardcore Mayo weekend absolutely shattered (Irish pubs, shots appearing with a single hand gesture, and a wall that literally measures the tallest man who ever walked in). Back at home, it’s all sleep deprivation, hotel-bed obsessions, and the ongoing uniform wars as Sydney announces she’s not wearing a dress… ever. Plus: Jake the dog goes full kangaroo into the sheep, a “wholesome” Aldi picnic gets mobbed by crows and seagulls, and a listener baptism story that proves four-year-olds have zero embarrassment. And finally: the Monaco F1 drama — was Kim Kardashian rude, and is she *actually* dating Lewis Hamilton?

Terrie and David are back from Mallorca and running on fumes — craving silence, but somehow still arguing about underwear, laundry pick-ups, and David’s commitment to going commando.They recap the trip chaos: Ryanair seat drama with the kids, the “would you move?” plane debate, and why an adults-only flight might actually make sense.On holiday highlights (and lowlights): a first-night dinner disaster, Terrie buying a full-size inflatable dolphin, Sydney’s four-and-three-quarters impatience, and the beach day from hell — wind tunnel Miles, melon-man soundtrack, and digging up Paw Patrol rubble.Plus: the infamous pool incident… and a listener story that ends in accidental public humiliation on a silent bus.

If your recovery routine needs its own recovery routine, this episode is for you. Terrie and David discuss the benefits, pitfalls, and occasional absurdities of chasing perfect health, exploring where healthy habits end and health obsession begins. Tune in for a thoughtful conversation with a few laughs along the way.

We’re back after a sneaky two-week break (that we definitely didn’t announce), and Terry is blaming David for the classic “Saturday night laptop ambush” that nearly ends in the computer going out the window. Terry recaps her absolute whirlwind: Cassie’s wild Ibiza hen, last-minute Cannes chaos, a designer dress literally falling apart, and walking the red carpet for Sol de Janeiro while trying not to become that influencer on the stairs. David, meanwhile, accidentally bumps into Heidi Klum and has a full “Jerry Springer at the bar” moment. Plus: Portugal stag aftermath, green smoke in the house, a milky paddling pool, and the weekly war on washing.

Shots were flying at David’s 40th BBQ (again) and Terry is taking absolutely zero responsibility… even though there was tequila, tequila rosé, Fireball and a suspicious amount of “just one more” energy. They debrief the Devil Wears Prada premiere that got cut short thanks to teething Miles, camera notifications, and anti-piracy security ready to pounce the second David looked at his phone. Plus: Apple Watch PTSD, parenting panic spirals, and the grim reality that the worry never actually leaves. Also on the agenda: Sydney the tiny legend (and part-time bully bouncer), Jake howling at the moon, Nacho the hamster’s dramatic legacy, and a listener dilemma about finishing a trade when your heart isn’t in it.

David’s officially 40, and Terry is here to remind him (repeatedly) — with a birthday week that won’t quit, a BBQ for 35 people, and a very expensive catering quote that gets binned in favour of “the lads on the grill” and spicy margaritas on tap. They recap their adults-only Marbella trip: The Met hotel, beach shack prawn pil pil, Nobu, two-drinks-and-done drunkenness, and the infamous A4 photo that may or may not have got them rejected from the “club vibe” area. Plus: Terry turning German when she’s drunk, David’s new 40s do’s and don’ts, Crocs-gate, and a listener dilemma about being asked to be a bridesmaid after a 10-year fallout.

A brand new intro nearly turns Terry into Dracula and David into Kevin McAllister, and honestly… it might be the most chaotic start we’ve had yet. It’s David’s 40th birthday week, so we get into turning 40, not being so hard on yourself, and a few very random 1986 “fun” facts (some of them absolutely not fun). Plus: first proper mummy-and-daddy trip since Myles was born, and the plan to get drunk for three days straight. Also on the menu: Coachella from afar, why Gen Z “don’t dance”, David getting heckled at a spa, Euphoria being “too much”, Cameron Diaz vs Sydney Sweeney, and a listener dilemma about a long-distance boyfriend acting shady.

It’s Easter recap time on 10 Down with Terry & David — and it starts with “Alien Man”, a BBQ that nearly caused a divorce, and David once again proving he refuses to read the instructions.They chat hosting 28 people, the estate Easter egg hunt that had kids tearing through back gardens for clues, and the surprise Easter Bunny that turned breakfast into pure madness (in the best way).And two listener dilemmas: secret savings accounts and a family secret that’s heavy to carry.

The Family Sick Bowl (Popcorn Optional)

Coffee chat turns into full-on chaos this week on 10 Down with Terry and David — from David’s “lip liner” coffee habit and his very specific barista-level hot-filter routine, to the latest update on his not-a-hobby bird watching obsession. We get into the sparrowhawk drama at the front door (and the absolute abuse David got online for posting nature doing what nature does), plus the teenage lizard story that still haunts the family camcorder. Then it’s a heavier turn: Netflix watches, the rage-inducing “Manosphere” documentary, and how you protect young lads from toxic online nonsense. We finish with a listener email on solo parenting, “weaponised incompetence”, and Terry’s no-nonsense advice.
