Were you the "scrappy" kid or the "polished" one? This Sunday, the Not So Christian Brothers explore the Psychology of Upbringing. Colm and Justin reveal a surprising family secret: while they were "corralled" into the local St. Anne’s school, their sisters were sent to an elite private school. They debate whether this "gender disparity" was a disadvantage or the very thing that gave them the hunger to succeed.

The conversation takes a sharp, controversial turn when Terry drops a psychological theory that stops the room: "If you don't know what the issue is, it's your mother". We dive into the "Truth" about family trauma, the "Scrappy vs. Private School" dynamic, and why not being "polished" might be your greatest competitive advantage in 2026.

In this episode, we uncover:
The School Mystery: Why the brothers and sisters had two completely different educational "scripts".
