This week on The Confession Box, we finally get to the bottom of the infamous Crow Court story. After it was first mentioned a couple of episodes ago and left hanging while Sean was away, he's back on the couch to explain whether crows really hold funerals, hold grudges, and put each other on trial. The gang also chat about parenting, social media bans for under-16s, and how different childhood lo...

This week starts with one conversation and somehow ends with Cleopatra, communion money, conspiracy theories, mortgage advice and Irish traditions.

This week is all about the final stretch. Julie talks through how things are actually feeling right now, hospital visits, low energy, and everything starting to feel very real.

See acast.com/priv...

After a couple of weeks without a release, this episode feels like everything hits at once. The conversation moves fast, jumping between stories, side tangents, and a few moments where things almost go a bit too far. There are points where everyone’s talking over each other, bits that probably should’ve been cut, and a few lines that might need a second listen before staying in. It’s one of those...

Welcome back to The Confession Box and this week, Sean is finally back after disappearing for three episodes… and of course, he has absolutely nothing useful to report.

There’s a bit of everything: awkward encounters,...

Welcome back to The Confession Box Just Julie and Nana P this week, and it doesn’t take long before things go completely off the rails.

Julie finally got the keys. After five years of being told no, single mum, self-employed, rejection after rejection, she walks into her own house for the first time… and immediately realises she owns absolutely nothing to put in it. The excitement quickly turns into “where do I even start?” as the reality of an empty shell hits. No furniture. No sofa. Just a kettle, a toaster, and an air fryer on...

Mortgage approved… chaos unlocked. Julie finally gets the text she’s been waiting for, but before she can celebrate properly, trolls manage to dig up her new house listing and post it online. Meanwhile, outside the studio, a man casually cuts an electric bike free with an angle grinder in broad daylight... no panic, no rush, just vibes. Scrambler bikes are flying up one-way streets like it’s a vid...

What starts as a normal catch-up turns into pure chaos. Julie wakes from a dream about her dad to a doorbell ringing at 5AM… but convinces herself she imagined it. The next morning there are bits scattered on the driveway, missed calls from an unknown number, and by that evening there’s a Garda at the door holding the twins’ school bags. Yes. The school bags. From a car break-in no one realised wa...

What starts as road rage and rain-induced rage quickly spirals into chaos when someone is caught swiping on Tinder… on Mam’s phone 😳 From dog disasters and scary movies for eight-year-olds, to eye-watering drink prices, free travel passes, and Mam’s determination to collect every bottle in Dublin, this episode is pure Confession Box madness. Add in fridge-switch disasters, physio oversharing, sci...

One phone notification is all it takes to send Nana P into a full spiral. She’s somehow ended up on Tinder, doesn’t know how she got there, and definitely doesn’t want to be there.

Nana P is back in the Confession Box and finally fills us in after a very tense few days. What starts as a hospital visit ends in relief, but the chaos is only getting started.

It’s Christmas week, and the gang are in full festive meltdown mode.
