Colm’s Lonely Christmas: Why I'm Running Away To New York

Merry Christmas! In this special festive episode (released early for your Christmas Eve drive), Justin is still missing in action, so Producer Rebecca steps in to save the day.

This year is different for Colm. Facing his first Christmas without his wife Anne, he reveals why he can't stay in Ireland and is "running away" to New York and Miami with his kids to escape the memories of a house usually filled with lights and tradition .


We also dive into:

  • The Jesus Conspiracy: Colm claims the Pope "made up" Christmas and that Jesus was actually born on May 4th (May the 4th be with you?)
  • The Christmas Dinner Guest List: Who would you invite, dead or alive? Colm picks Roy Keane and Reese Witherspoon, while Rebecca creates a "Bad Boy Corner" with Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and Enoch Burke .
  • Nativity Chaos: Why Rebecca couldn't see her own child in the play, and why Colm thinks the Innkeeper today would just send Mary and Joseph to the basement car park .
  • The "Begging Letter" Story: Colm shares a shocking story about a neighbor's "begging letter" that asked specifically for Heineken .

Whether you are spending Christmas solo, with a chaotic family, or just trying to survive until the New Year, this episode is for you.

Terry: "Men Only Want One Thing!" (The Friendship Debate Explodes)

The "Not So Christian Brothers" AfterShow descends into chaos as producer Rebecca takes the therapy chair (Justin is still MIA) and Terry unleashes his most controversial opinion yet.


We pick up right where the main show left off with the ultimate debate: Can men and women really be just friends?Terry argues a hard "NO," claiming that if a man has a female friend, he either has slept with her or wants to . This leads to a heated clash with Rebecca and Colm, who insist their own friendship proves him wrong.


Also in this episode:

  • Sponge Bath Trauma: Colm and Rebecca get weirdly specific about "sponging" and what it reminds them of (it’s not a spa day) .
  • The "Louisa in the Bakery" Test: Terry asks if his wife would be upset if he suddenly became best friends with a random woman he met on the street. The answer? Probably yes .
  • The Stalker Story: Colm reveals he’s had two stalkers in his radio career, one of which he had to report to the police .
  • Chasing vs. Being Chased: Why Colm has never been chased by a woman in his life .

Can Men & Women Really Be Just Friends? (Rebecca Drops A Truth Bomb)

With Justin currently traveling (or being a "high performance Ziploc" somewhere), producer Rebecca steps out from behind the desk to take the co-host chair .


This week, the "Not So Christian Brothers" tackle the age-old When Harry Met Sally debate: Can men and women have a strictly platonic friendship?. Colm insists it’s entirely possible, citing his many female friends, but Rebecca admits that at 42, she’s starting to question if men always "want something" from the interaction .


Also in this episode:

  • Movie Club: Colm raves about the new film Blue Moon and Ethan Hawke’s performance , while Rebecca explains why she thinks George Clooney has lost his edge and is just playing a narcissist in J Kelly .
  • Workplace Horror: Colm reveals a past radio partnership so toxic that just smelling his co-host's perfume in the lift made him feel physically sick .
  • The "Fixer" Debate: Do men try to "fix" problems while women judge? Rebecca argues that her female friends are actually the judgmental ones, while Colm is the one who just listens .
  • Tears & Laughter: A touching look back at Colm’s speech at his wife Anne’s funeral, and why humor is the only way to survive the darkest days .

Not so Christian Brothers
Colm’s Mick Jagger Theory: "Older Women Don’t Have A Sex Drive?"

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.

The Truth About Marriage: “Is This As Good As It Gets?”

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.

Colm Grabbed A Manager! (Why We’re Capping Christmas Spending)

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 .

Crypto, Cash, and Chaos: Is the World About to Snap?

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.

Bedroom Antics & The Coming Recession: Why You Need Cash NOW

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".

The Economy Is About to Snap: Justin Explains What’s Really Coming in 2026

This episode is a wild mix — starting with new chairs and a ridiculous pitch for a male-led sex-advice show… but very quickly turning into one of the most in-depth economic breakdowns the podcast has ever hosted.


Justin drops a full macroeconomic masterclass covering:

📉 Why the global economy is “out of kilter”

✔ Inflation out of control

✔ The hidden consequences of massive COVID money printing

✔ Why young people can’t buy homes anymore

✔ And how wealth keeps cycling upward to the already rich


🏠 The real reasons property prices exploded — globally

And why Ireland’s situation is both similar and uniquely worse.


🤖 AI’s dirty little secret

If you strip AI from the US economic data… the economy barely exists. Is AI the biggest bubble since Dotcom?


📉 Is a recession coming?

The case for 2026 being a once-in-a-generation chance to buy a house — and why the “worm is turning.”


🌍 The decade-by-decade pattern of economic shocks

1975 petrol crisis → 2008 crash → COVID → and whatever comes next.

It’s sharp, alarming, hilarious and genuinely helpful — the kind of episode listeners will replay and send to friends who “don’t get economics.”

And yes… the sex-podcast joke returns just when you think it’s safe.


🎧 New episodes every Thursday & Sunday.

The Conversation We Weren’t Ready to Have… But Had Anyway

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.

Why I Can't Sleep: The Letter, The Past, & The Panic

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. Again!!


New NSCB every Thursday & Sunday

The Movies That Broke Us: Childhood Dreams, Death, and the Films That Shaped Our Lives

This week’s Aftershow takes a turn down movie memory lane — and things get emotional, hilarious, and unexpectedly profound.


Justin reveals how a paleontology podcast led to a dinosaur dream meltdown, Rebecca unpacks the childhood film that taught her people can die, and Colm dives deep into why Elf, Love Actually, and even war movies can hit harder than therapy.


From Steel Magnolias, to The Big Chill, to the absolute chaos of 80s action films and teenage rom-coms, the Not So Christian crew explore how the movies we watched shaped who we became — our ideas of love, masculinity, loss, rebellion, and everything in between.


It’s nostalgic. It’s unhinged. It’s surprisingly healing. And it’s pure Not So Christian Brothers energy.


🎧 New episodes every Thursday and Sunday — don’t forget to follow and share!


What movie shaped you?


This Aftershow will have you laughing at the absolute chaos of dinosaur dreams and “penetrative” Elf monologues — and then crying as childhood film scenes resurface with all their forgotten lessons.


Justin opens up about the movies that taught him how to be a man when he had no role model. Rebecca remembers the moment a film shattered her belief that mothers can’t die. Colm explains why certain movies become emotional anchors that we return to our whole lives.


This is an episode about memory, identity, childhood, grief, love — and the strange, beautiful ways films teach us who we are.

Grab your popcorn (and maybe a tissue). This one stays with you.

The Myth of Balance: Why Peace Is Overrated

Everyone’s chasing balance — but what if the secret is learning to live in chaos?


This week’s Aftershow gets philosophical (and messy) as Colm Hayes, Justin Caffrey, and Rebecca Horan unpack the cult of calm. From meditation fails to emotional meltdowns, they rip into the myth that life’s supposed to feel peaceful.


Colm admits he’s allergic to silence, Justin defends stillness (badly), and Rebecca proves she’s the only one who actually understands mindfulness — or at least can pronounce it.


It’s loud, honest, and unexpectedly therapeutic — in that “you’re not alone in being a disaster” kind of way.


🎙 New episodes every Thursday & Sunday.

🗓 This episode: Sunday, 9 November 2025.


Everybody’s telling you to calm down — but what if that’s the problem?


In this episode, the Not So Christian Brothers dismantle the modern obsession with peace, balance, and “wellness.”

Colm’s wound up, Justin’s zen (for five seconds), and Rebecca’s calling them both out.


It’s the Aftershow that proves chaos isn’t failure — it’s the natural state of being human.


⏱️ Chapter Timings

00:00 – Welcome & “the cult of calm”

02:00 – Colm vs stillness: “Silence is suspicious”

04:30 – Rebecca on burnout & balance myths

Everybody’s Faking It (Even You)

Let’s be honest — we’re all full of sh*t.


This week, the Not So Christian Brothers — Colm Hayes, Justin Caffrey, and Rebecca Horan — rip apart the illusion of perfection we’ve built online and off.

From filtered lives and fake humility to Irish denial, ego, and middle-aged crisis rebrands, they say the quiet part out loud.


Colm calls out “bullsh*t wellness,” Justin admits he’s been just as guilty, and Rebecca lays down the truth about people who post “authentic” just to get attention.

It’s funny, uncomfortable, and scarily relatable — a full-on takedown of modern self-delusion.


🎙 New shows every Thursday & Sunday — subscribe now and join the unholy honesty.


You think you’re being real? You’re not — and neither are we.


This episode of Not So Christian Brothers goes straight for the jugular:

why everyone’s pretending, who’s fooling who, and how social media made us all addicted to lying.


It’s fast, filthy, and full of uncomfortable truth.

If you’ve ever posted a “no filter” selfie or humble-bragged about mindfulness — you might want to sit this one out.


⏱️ Chapter Timings

00:00 – Welcome & Colm’s rant on fake people

03:00 – The cult of “authentic” influencers

06:00 – Justin admits he’s played the same game

Brothers, Guilt & The Snowman: When Family Messes You Up

This one hits hard.


In this week’s Aftershow, the Not So Christian Brothers — Colm Hayes, Justin Caffrey, and Rebecca Horan — drop the jokes (mostly) and dive into the emotional minefield of family, childhood, and guilt.


Justin remembers being left behind in a house that didn’t feel safe, watching Colm build a snowman through the window.

Colm swears he doesn’t remember doing it — and Rebecca isn’t letting him off the hook.


What starts as a nostalgic story becomes a brutally honest conversation about survival, neglect, loneliness, and why Irish families never really talk about love — just guilt.


It’s raw, revealing, and somehow still hilarious.


🎙 New shows every Thursday & Sunday.

🗓 This episode: Sunday, 2 November 2025.


Ever carried guilt from your childhood? Or blamed your brother for turning you into who you are?


Colm and Justin open old wounds (and old snowmen), with Rebecca playing referee.

It’s part therapy, part sibling rivalry, and 100% Not So Christian.


⏱️ Chapter Timings

00:00 – Welcome & the “Snowman Story”

02:00 – Childhood memories vs selective amnesia

Crying for Clicks: Are We All Addicted to Misery?

Are we healing — or just performing pain for attention?


This week on Not So Christian Brothers, Colm Hayes, Justin Caffrey, and Rebecca Horan get brutally real about the age of emotional exhibitionism.

From crying selfies and mental health influencers to therapy addiction and Irish repression, no one’s safe.


Colm thinks we’ve replaced resilience with victimhood, Justin argues for real healing, and Rebecca calls out the hypocrisy on both sides.

It’s funny, uncomfortable, and more honest than most therapy sessions.


Everyone’s sad. Everyone’s online.

And everyone’s telling you about it.


Colm’s had enough of performative misery. Justin’s defending therapy. Rebecca’s trying to make sense of it all.

It’s Irish honesty at its finest — sharp, savage, and weirdly comforting.


If you’ve ever rolled your eyes at a crying influencer (or been one), this episode’s for you.

Beckhams, Billionaires & Bullshit: Power, Sex & Corruption

Sunday’s supposed to be holy — but not here.


In this week’s Aftershow, Colm, Justin, and Rebecca dive straight into scandal, corruption, and why humans can’t handle power.

It starts with Beckham’s affair, jumps to Epstein’s empire, and somehow ends up at Paul McCartney, Margaret Thatcher, and mommy fetishes.


💬 What they actually get into:

  • Is Rebecca Loos brave or just bored?
  • Why money, sex, and power always corrupt — and who’s worst at it
  • Justin admits being “a power-hungry asshole” in his twenties
  • Rebecca schools the lads on women’s real motivations
  • Colm insists he’s “the least corrupt man alive” (no one believes him)
  • And yes… it ends with another lesbian joke

This is Not So Christian Brothers — unholy, uncensored, and impossible to stop listening to.


🎙 New episodes every Thursday & Sunday.

🗓 This episode: Sunday 19 October 2025.


Power, sex, greed — and David Beckham’s Sunday roast.

Colm’s defending men again, Justin’s confessing to corruption, and Rebecca’s running circles around them both.

It’s filthy, funny, and far too honest for a Sunday.

02:00 – Beckham, Rebecca Loos & revenge stories

Woke, War & Wives: The World’s Gone Mad (Again)

This one’s an absolute ride.


Colm gets accused of having “lesbian energy,” Justin tries to justify angry men, Rebecca calls out everyone’s hypocrisy — and somehow it all ends with aliens ditching Earth because we’re too boring.


The gang dive head-first into:

  • The rise of angry men and the backlash against “woke”
  • Why politics is full of egos and zero compassion
  • Golf wives, patriarchy, and public meltdowns
  • Whether women make better (or worse) leaders
  • How the first murder — Cain & Abel — set the tone for humanity


It’s blunt, funny, a bit mad, and exactly why you listen to Not So Christian Brothers.

No filters. No safe takes. Just three voices tearing into the week’s chaos.


🎙 New shows every Thursday & Sunday.

🗓 This episode: Thursday 23 October 2025.


If you think the world’s lost the plot — you’re not alone.

Colm’s ranting about militant lesbians, Justin’s defending dictators (kind of), and Rebecca’s trying to hold civilisation together.

Somehow, it’s educational. Mostly, it’s just unholy fun.

Fueled by Anger or Freed by Forgiveness? The Aftershow Gets Personal

It’s Sunday, and the hangover from Thursday’s episode on forgiveness is still brewing.


Colm Hayes, Justin Caffrey, and Rebecca Horan are back — a little raw, a little caffeinated, and absolutely not ready to forgive.

From Taylor Swift and Mariah Carey to business betrayals, heartbreak, and hospital trauma, this aftershow turns reflection into revelation. Colm argues that anger fuels success, while Justin opens up about his past, therapy, and losing his son — and how forgiveness saved him.

Rebecca keeps the chaos grounded as the conversation drifts from revenge to redemption, Catholic guilt to Protestant freedom, and even Trump’s ego to South Dublin snobbery.


This is Not So Christian Brothers at its best: raw, real, and roaring with uncomfortable truths.

🎙 New episodes every Thursday and Sunday — subscribe now so you never miss the chaos, comedy, or confession.


Ever been told to “let it go”? Colm thinks that’s nonsense.

Justin says forgiveness is the only way to survive.

Rebecca’s just trying to stop them from throwing microphones.

In this brutally honest Aftershow, the trio dive into what really drives people — anger, pain, or peace? From family and faith to fame and failure, it’s the episode that proves growth doesn’t come from calm... it comes from chaos.

Whether you’re the grudge-holder or the peacekeeper, this one will hit home.


⏱️ Chapter Timings

  • 00:00 – 01:00: Mariah Carey, Taylor Swift & the power of pop queens
  • 01:00 – 03:00: Forgiveness recap — Colm’s “never forgive” manifesto

  • 06:00 – 09:00: Justin’s powerful story — grief, loss, and letting go

  • 11:30 – 13:00: Rebecca opens up about bullying and resilience
  • 13:00 – 15:00: Irish education, class, and the South Dublin struggle

Not so Christian Brothers

Not so Christian Brothers

An authentic look at modern masculinity from two brothers from different generations. They share insights on fatherhood, brotherhood, and everything in between. 

It's presented by veteran broadcaster Colm Hayes who's voice is instantly recognizable from his years in FM104, RTE and presently Ireland's Classic Hits radio and his brother Justin Caffrey , a well renowned high-performance coach and entrepreneur.

With years of experience between them and stories you've probably never heard before, you may want to get involved.

These guys don't mess around, it's funny, informative, current, sensitive and ball-breaking all at the same time.
