Happy New Year… From Bottle Machines to Butterfly Effects

from The Confession Box

It’s the first episode of 2026 and the gang ease into the New Year in true Confession Box style — by immediately arguing about dates, shopping, and who actually paid for Christmas.Julie reveals how a year of obsessive bottle collecting turned into nearly €300 in vouchers, which somehow funded two full Christmas dinners… but still left everyone wondering where all the food went. That spirals into post-Christmas shopping chaos, Nana P navigating Dunnes on a broken leg, and Sean sending a “simple” shopping list that nearly causes a full aisle meltdown (granola, yoghurt and rice are all up for debate).As the chat drifts between icy roads, cancelled school buses, hospital scans, and Christmas nights out, Sean takes a sharp turn into philosophy — introducing the trolley problem, the butterfly effect, and whether everything really does happen for a reason. Julie and Nana P are… not fully on board. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
