    The Roy Keane DM & The Tree-Hanging Poo Bag Menace

    24/05/2026 | 19 mins.
    Why do some dog owners pick up after their pets only to hang the plastic bag from a nearby tree branch? This Sunday, the Not So Christian Brothers after show tackles one of the most divisive social dilemmas in modern life: dog fouling etiquette.

    The conversation begins with Justin reacting to a listener who slid into his DMs to point out that his straight-talking, analytical podcast persona bears a striking resemblance to a characterfully grumpy Roy Keane. The studio then descends into hilarious chaos as Rebecca recounts her ultimate maternal nightmare: her enormous Bernese puppy creating a monumental, bagless mess right at the school gates on the very first day of term. From Justin's emergency leaf tactics to Terry's intense frustration with public parks lacking proper disposal bins, this episode highlights the unwritten rules of community living and the everyday habits that drive us mad.

    In this episode, we uncover:
    The Roy Keane Archetype: Why audiences naturally categorise direct, honest thinkers as "grumpy".
    The School Gate Disaster: Rebecca’s vivid account of social humiliation and emergency staff-room tissue runs.
    Urban vs. Countryside Realities: Is a field inherently biodegradable, or are we ruining the local landscape?
    The Tree-Hanging Phenomenon: Terry’s critique of the bizarre habit of leaving bagged waste behind on nature trails.
    The Tongue-Pulling Myth: Colm's highly questionable internet advice on how to stop a dog mid-action.
