The Confession Box

😂 It's another family-filled episode of The Confession Box!

This week, we're catching up on the Belfast trip, debating who actually does the most for Mum, and revisiting the now-infamous €72 Five Guys meal!

There's talk of tipping culture, clearing out the mobile home, forgotten passwords, missing WhatsApp messages and a few stories from the family holiday including a rather memorable taxi journey.

We also get into emergency supplies, school scares, gym sessions, aqua aerobics, family celebrations and the plans for Christmas.

And just when you think we're finished, there's a little cliffhanger involving a story about someone and a possible blind date! 👀

As always, plenty of laughs, plenty of family disagreements and absolutely no shortage of opinions!

Mum’s dressed like Tom Cruise, Sean’s already spent over €200, and somehow we’ve ended up arguing about whether grandparents should be allowed to hug their own grandchildren! 😂

This week on The Confession Box, we’re chatting about Cork’s Jazz Weekend, the crowds, the queues, and why some people would rather go home than queue for a pint.

Then we get into a very expensive day out. Coffee for everyone, lunch, shopping, UGG boots, and Mum trying to get a deal wherever she goes. Sean’s wallet definitely takes a hit! 💸

We also hear about Mum’s Halloween look, which apparently has everyone thinking of Tom Cruise, and her upcoming trip to Belfast for the Black Cab tour and the Titanic Experience two things that have been on her bucket list for years.

Things get a little more serious when the conversation turns to an advert about grandparents and consent, sparking a debate about affection, boundaries, and whether the message was delivered the right way.

And just when you think we’ve covered everything, we end up talking about mindfulness, Pilates, wildlife documentaries, clever ants, dung beetles and the incredible ways animals work together. 🐜😂

Another episode full of family stories, strong opinions, laughs and conversations that go absolutely everywhere!

Nana P has done it again! 😂

This week on The Confession Box, we’re talking birthday surprises, holiday plans and the kind of family chaos that only gets funnier the more you hear about it.

Julie had planned a surprise trip to Legoland for the twins, with strict instructions that nobody was to tell them where they were going. Unfortunately, after a bottle of wine and an Irish coffee, Nana P had other ideas… and suddenly everyone knew about Legoland! 🍷😂 Then came the debate over who took the tip money, and the question of whether Nana P should be trusted with any secrets at all.

We chat about the family’s trip to Legoland, the restaurant meal beforehand, Sean’s night out, and the gin and tonics that mysteriously disappeared while someone was minding the house. There are also birthday plans involving Prague’s Christmas markets, a potential trip to Africa that raises a few questions, and the ongoing struggle of trying to help parents with phones, passwords and technology.

Add in discussions about nature, dinosaurs, true crime, dancing, fishing, a birthday Hummer and a few more family stories, and you have another episode full of laughs and questionable decisions!

Sean is finally back in the Confession Box, although apparently he’s been enjoying a few weeks of “peace” while everyone else was looking for him. 😂
Mum has plenty going on too, including getting her ceilings painted, trying to get a discount from the painter by offering him a plug on the podcast, and somehow comparing the whole thing to getting the Sistine Chapel painted. 😂

We hear all about Fionn’s fishing trip, including the unbelievable story of him catching an eel on his very last cast and then coming away with a trophy.
There’s also plenty of catching up on Sean’s beard, some serious accusations about whether he’s secretly been seeing someone, people recognising the podcast out and about, and Julie potentially heading off to South Africa for a trip involving Cape Town and a safari.

Then things take a turn when the conversation moves onto health appointments, scans, smear tests and the latest things people are finding on TikTok before we get onto a completely different kind of story involving a huge bag of gravel and a woman determined to move it herself.
“I’m an Irish woman. I’m independent. I’ve got this.” 😂

And finally, the gang get talking about emergency supplies, wind-up radios, unpredictable weather, power cuts and whether we should all be preparing for the apocalypse.

Another week, another load of stories from the Confession Box.

Mum is back on the couch but Sean is missing; the new iPhones are causing arguments, and somehow we end up with Mum taking a Jaguar for a test drive and pretending she might actually buy it. 😂

Then things get even better when Mum gets a €900 quote for painting a few ceilings, starts trying to negotiate with the tradesmen using the podcast as leverage, and ends up accepting a load of free concrete from builders working next door… only to discover afterwards that the concrete was covering drainage that absolutely needed to stay there. 😭

We also get into the joys of helping kids with homework, The Traitors, Mum trying to pay her car insurance through an automated phone system, a plumber arriving to fix the “no hot water” only to discover there was actually loads of hot water, and the Tooth Fairy being forced to issue an IOU — followed by an expired voucher. 😂
And because apparently that's not enough, the kids are getting a stretched Hummer for their birthday, while the episode finishes with Mum and Julie chatting about the Lizzie Borden story they've been watching.

Another completely chaotic week in the Confession Box.
