This week on the Not So Christian Brothers, Colm and Justin are "United by Chaos" as they record from France and South Africa. After a "technological avalanche" destroyed their first attempt at recording, the brothers return to tackle one of the most sensitive topics in modern psychology: the "sidelining" of men.Justin dives deep into the "Manisphere" and the work of Scott Galloway, arguing that men under 25 are feeling increasingly marginalized as women move into the social and economic "ascendancy."

This week, the lads dive headfirst into the most explosive topic of all: marriage, sex, and the reality of long-term relationships.The debate ignites immediately with Colm’s controversial "Mick Jagger Theory"—his view that older men seek younger partners because women's sex drives diminish with age. This is immediately challenged by Rebecca, who argues that a lack of interest is often due to lack of communication, feeling unvalued, and not getting what they want in bed, not menopause.Justin cuts through the chaos with a raw take on intimacy, explaining that a great sex life needs a "lead up"—it starts at breakfast, not with a "raging boner".In this episode, we challenge everything you know about commitment:The Divorce Bombshell: Why 60% of divorces are filed by women and why men statistically benefit more from marriage.The Prison of Marriage: Is staying in a bad relationship "trapped consistently failing forever," and why young people view marriage as a "prison" rather than a choice.The Choice Problem: Terry argues that "too much choice" from social media is destroying relationships and confusing people about what they truly want.Dating App Shock: Colm’s hilarious (and slightly panicked) explanation of the Grindr app.📅 New episodes every Thursday & Sunday 🗓️ Release Date: Sunday, 14/12/2025⏱️ Chapter Timings00:00 – Intro: The Obsession with Celebrity Marriages (Kim Cattrall & Ryan Tubridy) 02:19 – Justin: Why I Only Date Older Women (Perspective & Grounding) 03:13 – Colm’s Mick Jagger Theory: Does Female Sex Drive Disappear? 04:30 – Rebecca’s Rebuttal: Sex Drive vs. Feeling Valued in Bed 05:54 – Justin: The Pearl Jam Song That Taught Me About Orgasm 07:51 – "Sex Starts at Breakfast" – Why the Lead-up Matters 09:27 – The Commitment Barrier: Why Young People Don’t Want to Work for Sex 10:32 – Is Marriage a Prison? The Failure of a Split 11:13 – Justin: It’s Better to Get Out Than Be "Trapped Failing Forever" 11:40 – Modern Choice: Why Younger Generations Aren't Getting Married 13:11 – "You Made Your Bed": The End of Sleeping in a Bad Marriage 15:10 – The Divorce Stat: Why 60% of Divorces Are Filed By Women 17:03 – The Gender Divide: Why Men & Women See Marriage So Differently 19:15 – Terry: How "Too Much Choice" Destroys Relationships 22:30 – Colm’s Grinder Revelation: "Men Near Me" 23:21 – Outro & Final Call to Action📌 Important Listener NotesNew Shows: New episodes of the Not So Christian Brothers podcast are released every Thursday & Sunday.High Engagement: This episode features a highly opinionated and potentially triggering debate on sex and gender roles in relationships.Action: Remember to like, subscribe, and follow the podcast on your chosen platform!

Is monogamy natural, or just a choice we make to keep the farm in the family? This week, Colm and Justin tear apart the concept of modern marriage.Inspired by Jack Nicholson’s line in As Good As It Gets and Kim Cattrall’s fourth marriage, the lads dive into the uncomfortable truths about long-term relationships. Colm makes a stunning admission about why he would never marry again after 35 years , while Justin argues that humans are naturally polyamorous and that most couples stop being honest the moment they say "I do" .They debate whether "staying together for the kids" is actually damaging, why so many older couples look like "dead people" just leaning on each other , and Justin challenges every listener to go home and ask their partner for a "48-hour honesty challenge" .Plus, we touch on George Clooney’s loneliness, Sean Penn’s chaotic lifestyle, and Terry’s theory of being a dog in his past life.📅 New episodes every Thursday & Sunday 🗓️ Release Date: Thursday, 11/12/2025⏱️ Chapter Timings00:00 – Intro: Justin’s "Confirmation Shoes" & The Power of Touch02:00 – Is This As Good As It Gets?

This week’s Aftershow descends into chaos as we tackle the stress of Christmas spending, the power of cash, and Colm’s infamous history of restaurant meltdowns.We begin with the shocking admission of Colm’s assault story, where he physically grabbed a restaurant manager after a long wait for food—an incident that got his whole family banned. Justin then shares his own cringe-worthy "ape shit" complaining date.From there, we get surprisingly practical:Cash is King: Justin and Colm reveal their tactics for haggling in big box stores like Harvey Norman’s, claiming there is a 10% discount available for "difficult customers" .The Christmas Cap: Colm proposes a shocking solution to rampant holiday waste: a government "cap" on family Christmas spending, with police confiscating toys if you go over budget.We dive into the mental health pressure of "keeping up with the Joneses" , why the government's Christmas Bonus is paid at the wrong time of year , and how Justin is referred to as 'Santa' in Greystones—but Rebecca insists he looks more like Billy Bob Thornton (Bad Santa).Plus, Rebecca shares an emotional story from a nursing home that truly captures the meaning of the season .📅 New episodes every Thursday & Sunday 🗓️ Release Date: Sunday, 07/12/2025⏱️ Chapter Timings00:00 – Intro: The Red Wine Can and Christmas Waste 02:30 – Is Cash King? Do you spend less or just wiser? 03:30 – Colm’s Friend Haggles with the Butcher 04:06 – Justin’s 10% Rule: Haggling in Harvey Norman’s 06:40 – The Power of Asking: “If you don’t ask, you won’t get” 07:25 – Colm’s Son’s Pizza Scam 09:50 – Justin’s Ape-Shit Complaining Date Story 11:02 – Colm Grabbed the Manager: Banned from the Mexican Restaurant 13:00 – Ostentatious Gifts & The Pressure of Keeping Up 14:39 – The Government’s Christmas Bonus Blunder18:11 – Colm’s “Christmas Cap” Idea 19:46 – The Real Meaning: Justin & His Son’s Tree Tradition 21:17 – The Raw Emotion of the Nursing Home Visit 23:22 – Justin: Santa or Billy Bob Thornton? 24:10 – Teaser: The Cash-Only Algarve Village Remember to like, subscribe, and follow the podcast ✅ Hosted on Acast.

Welcome to the 'Silly Season' on Not So Christian Brothers! Following the massive success of last week’s episode on a looming housing crash, Justin and Colm dive deeper into the state of the global economy and what it means for your wallet.Colm kicks off the show with some "exciting news"—wine in a can—that swiftly derails into a chaotic tasting session and a debate on drinking responsibly (01:22).Then, the focus shifts to the financial world:Bitcoin and the Bonkers Market: Justin warns about the extreme volatility of crypto, its appeal to "retail young folks," and the risks of losing your entire savings, calling it what it is: gambling (05:06).The Unregulated Wild West: They explore how the lack of regulation allows Wall Street bankers to profit, referencing the Don Jr. crypto mining scandal (07:44) and the infamous GameStop frenzy.The Recession Survival Guide: With fears of war and bank cyber-attacks, the brothers discuss the old adage of keeping cash under the bed (11:36) and the strange phenomenon of businesses refusing cash payments.House Prices: Not Just Supply and Demand: Justin challenges Colm’s view on house price inflation, explaining how trillions pumped into the system since 2020 have materially disadvantaged renters and fuelled a massive global asset boom—the first time in human history all markets have moved together (21:54).Finally, they wrap up by linking economic disparity and inflation to the rise of extremist views and protests (25:53), with Justin offering a surprisingly relevant take on AI’s impact on jobs (27:09).Tune in for a chaotic, funny, and surprisingly in-depth look at money, markets, and mayhem.⏱️ Chapter Timings 00:00 - Introduction: The Success of Last Week's Show on House Prices00:22 - Colm's Exciting News: Wine in a Can & Off-License Browsing01:22 - Tasting the Italian Tinned Red Wine (Six Euro!)04:14 -Justin’s Role on the Drink Aware Campaign (Juxtaposition!)5:06 - Bitcoin Volatility, Risk, and Young People's Exposure07:44 - Crypto is Gambling: The Don Jr. Mining Scam & Unregulated Markets11:36 - Cash is King?

This week on the Not So Christian Brothers Aftershow, the conversation goes from the bedroom to the bank in record time.We kick things off with the "sexy stuff" as Rebecca asks the lads about manscaping and the realities of keeping the spark alive in long-term marriages. We also roast Justin’s confusing "Capitalist Mountain Man" fashion sense—is he a stockbroker or is he hiking the Wicklow Way?.Things get raw as Colm opens up about the "survivor’s guilt" of grief and the stark difference between a partner travelling and the permanence of turning off the light in an empty room.Then, Justin drops a bombshell. He warns that we are 16 years into a cycle that usually ends in 10, predicting a recession that could hit real people by late summer next year. He explains why white-collar workers and graduates are in the firing line this time, why AI is about to replace professional services, and why he believes the "Singularity" has already happened.Plus, why Terry and Rebecca are quitting the podcast to become plumbers called "Farrah Faucet".💬 EngagementComment Question: Justin says we should all have 3-4 months of expenses saved in cash right now.

This aftershow hits deeper than anyone expected.It opens with Justin’s wild story about a man who dug an entire underground temple system under a mountain — by himself — because a vision told him to. A surreal, spiritual, nearly supernatural experience that ends with police crying in awe and Justin being choked by a “future spirit” the night COVID hit. It’s bizarre, fascinating, and completely NSCB.But then the conversation shifts.Colm talks honestly about burying his wife just two months ago — and how impossible it feels to “heal” when time hasn’t even begun to make sense yet. Justin pushes back, exploring how grief forces us to confront not only loss, but every unresolved bruise underneath it. Rebecca balances both worlds, trying to make sense of the emotional chaos while grounding the conversation in compassion and common sense.From there, the episode expands into:• Therapy — does it actually help, or is it just talking in circles?Colm questions its value. Justin argues it saved his life. The contrast is powerful.• The tin-can theory of life.Justin explains how unresolved trauma rattles behind us until we face it — and why avoiding it only makes the noise louder.• Parenting, perfection, & the myth of the “healthy family.”Rebecca challenges the idea that some kids grow up untouched. Colm insists every family carries something — always.• Empowering children instead of shielding them.Colm shares a story about talking to schools and teaching kids the language of resilience.• Rebecca’s incredible story about her daughter’s confidence breakthrough.From hiding at the back of sports day to suddenly smashing races and tackling a gruelling 800m hill run — the evolution becomes the emotional heart of the episode.This aftershow is raw, human, emotional, hilarious, and unpredictable — the exact chemistry that makes Not So Christian Brothers what it is.🕒 CHAPTER TIMINGS00:00 — The Underground Temples & the Spirit in the Future RoomJustin’s insane Damanhur story and the night COVID hit.02:30 — Aftershow Starts: Same Parents, Different TimelinesThe crew settle in.03:30 — Colm vs Therapy: “Does it actually help?”A raw and honest debate about grief and whether therapy works.06:00 — The Tin Cans We Drag Through LifeJustin’s analogy for unresolved trauma and emotional weight.10:00 — Grief, Shock, and Why No One Is Ever ReadyColm talks openly about losing Anne.13:00 — Sudden Death vs Expected Death: Does It Change Grief?A deep dive into how different losses impact us.16:00 — Children, Resilience & the Harm of Over-ShieldingHow modern parenting affects mental health.18:00 — Empowerment vs Protection in Raising KidsColm shares stories from Cycle Against Suicide and parenting.20:00 — Rebecca’s Daughter Finds Her StrengthA powerful story of confidence, sport, and resilience.

The Christian Brothers have officially come for the podcast again — and this time, they’ve issued a full legal warning. In today’s episode, the NSCB crew dive into the new solicitor’s letter, the history of being sued over podcast names, why they might have been targeted again, and how the lads feel about it all.The episode begins with absolute chaos: Colm reveals — on mic, with zero warning — that the podcast has received a brand-new legal letter from the Irish Christian Brothers. Yes… again. The team read through the solicitor’s message, which threatens legal action if they don’t respond within 14 days. And immediately, the debate erupts:– Why are they being targeted?– Why Colm’s the one they always find?– And what does this mean for the podcast’s name (for the second time in their history)?As the crew unpack the bizarre déjà vu of being sued for their podcast identity, they veer into the complicated history of the Christian Brothers at their own school — a mix of humour, trauma, absurdity and gallows comedy that only NSCB can pull off.From there, Rebecca drags the show back to sanity (briefly), before the team launch into the week’s biggest news story: Troy Parrott’s unbelievable comeback and the headlines that followed (“The Late Troy Show”). They break down his journey, the pressure he’s faced, the resilience it took, and why Ireland is buzzing again.The conversation then spirals beautifully into:– therapy (and why some avoid it),– intrusive thoughts,– controlling emotions,– political leaders with “a screw loose,”– how childhood shapes adulthood,– and the importance of digging deep rather than avoiding the hard stuff.It’s funny. It’s raw. It’s fast-moving. It’s NSCB at their best.And yes — they promise to keep listeners updated if they get sued.
