Not so Christian Brothers

How many weddings is too many in a single year? In this Sunday After-Show, Colm Hayes, Justin Caffrey, and Terry Tech react to the mind-boggling reality of modern 20-somethings attending upwards of 31 weddings in twelve months—complete with destination trips, pizza vans, and two-day celebrations. On a personal note, Colm reflects on his son Alex’s wedding, sharing bittersweet family memories, origin stories behind the name, and what it feels like watching the next generation step into married life.
The lads also talk music nostalgia, covering the Jacksons touring Ireland alongside Sister Sledge, Nile Rogers, and memories of iconic live gigs. Plus, Justin debates whether expensive African safaris are worth it when you can watch David Attenborough in 4K, and the team unearths the wild story behind the 2013 Liberace biopic Behind the Candelabra!

Has modern sport completely lost its soul to mega-wealthy owners and corporate money? In this week's episode of the Not So Christian Brothers, Colm Hayes and Justin Caffrey unpack the dramatic shift in professional football. From rumours of Jeff Bezos targeting major club acquisitions to tickets soaring out of reach for ordinary fans, the brothers explore whether the magic of the game is officially gone.
The debate turns local as Colm expresses his discomfort with English Premier League teams playing pre-season matches inside GAA headquarters at Croke Park, sparking a wider talk on Irish sporting history and the unexpected resurgence of the League of Ireland.
Plus, Colm recounts a hilariously awkward exchange with a new barber who claimed he had "the hair of a scientist," leading to an honest chat about small talk, social boundaries, and why barbers now offer "silent cuts"!

Can writing down your goals actually change your reality, or is it just a glorified to-do list? In this Sunday After-Show, Justin Caffrey, Colm Hayes, and Terry Tech dive into the mechanics of manifestation. Justin shares his non-airy-fairy, pragmatic 26-step morning routine, explaining how establishing a clear "North Star" aligns your focus and actions. Meanwhile, Colm reflects on breaking out of life's repetitive roundabouts and putting together a concrete life plan following a year of massive personal change.
The lads also look at Lucy Kennedy’s new chat show Unfiltered, debate classic TV hosts from Parkinson to Dame Edna, and walk down memory lane with their very first record purchases. Plus, Justin reports back from his new home in Malta, where the kitchen layout finally settles the viral debate over where Catholics and Protestants store their bread-toasting appliances!

Making life-altering decisions is never easy. In this week's episode of the Not So Christian Brothers, Justin Caffrey dials in from a sweltering hotel room in Malta to explore why so many people get trapped in indecision. What starts as a debate on business choices turns into a deeply personal conversation when Colm Hayes reveals he is facing a massive crossroads: deciding whether to sell his family home in South County Dublin.
Together with Terry Tech, the brothers discuss the heavy emotional weight attached to property, navigating grief, and managing room-by-room triggers after losing a loved one. Justin offers sharp, psychology-backed advice on why holding back often does more harm than good, while Colm weighs the bittersweet memories of his house against the promise of a fresh start. Plus, Justin and Colm end up unofficially putting both of their homes on the market live on air!

The conversation kicks off with family memories, as the brothers recall an eccentric uncle who promised an inheritance for fifty years, only to leave behind a pair of driving gloves. They explore the strange phenomenon of naming all your children the same name, before shifting to modern technology and interrailing across Europe.
Justin shares how his son navigates major European cities using TikTok as a real-time Lonely Planet guide, leading to a debate on why younger generations prioritise experiences over buying physical items. Plus, the lads review Season 5 of The Bear, discuss restaurant culture, and address the podcast's rapidly growing male viewership!
