Road Rage, €20 Coffees & Someone’s On Tinder 09.02.2026

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...

I Nearly Died When I Saw the Notification 03.02.2026

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. Accidental matches, panic deleting, and the kids absolutely in bits. From swipe stress to real-life pressure, the chat quickly turns to money, mortgages, and the question nobody has a good answer for: how are you actual...

Deep Heat, Dinosaurs & Don’t Try Me This Week 27.01.2026

Welcome back to The Confession Box Between pregnancy sciatica, deep heat fumes filling the studio, and Sean somehow managing to sit comfortably through it all, things kick off in a typical chaotic fashion. Julie opens up about a recent situation that spiralled online, the ripple effect of podcast comments, and how quickly trolls can latch on — especially when you’re seven months pregnant and alrea...

So… Boob or No Boob? 20.01.2026

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. From finally getting the gas reconnected (thanks to what can only be described as an actual angel), to an overnight trip to Dublin that turns into a Talbot Street nightmare involving a dead car, AdBlue drama, and a surprisi...

One Missing From the Box 13.01.2026

It’s just Julie and Sean in the Confession Box this week, with Nana P missing as she’s in hospital, taking it back to the basics We talk TV obsessions, kids’ antics, overthinking, and the strange places your mind goes when you’ve too much time to think. A proper catch-up episode with laughs, tangents, and the usual madness. What starts as the usual warm-up chaos quickly turns into a more honest, r...

Happy New Year… From Bottle Machines to Butterfly Effects 05.01.2026

It’s the first episode of 2026 and the gang ease into the New Year in true Confession Box style — by immediately arguing about dates, shopping, and who actually paid for Christmas. Julie reveals how a year of obsessive bottle collecting turned into nearly €300 in vouchers , which somehow funded two full Christmas dinners… but still left everyone wondering where all the food went. That spirals into...

She Did NOT Get Drunk… She Got Pissed 29.12.2025

It’s full Christmas chaos in The Confession Box as Julie, Sean and Nana P squeeze back onto the couch and immediately start roasting each other. From broccoli jumpers and pronunciation wars to re-gifting scandals, emails-as-presents and “hashtag gifted” drama, nothing is safe. Things escalate quickly with Christmas Eve Mass, pub traditions, drunk Santa memories and a St Stephen’s Day that ends wit...

Christmas Week Madness: Car Park Crashes, Dettol Baths & Sale Agreed 24.12.2025

It’s Christmas week, and the gang are in full festive meltdown mode. Julie, Nana P and Sean kick off with pure slagging (Sean’s outfit gets absolutely dragged), before the chat turns into a Cork city struggle: disastrous parking, a wall bump, a wing mirror hanging off, and Sean walking straight into a pole… while recording. There’s ice skating at Marina Market, Christmas present negotiations, fami...

Julie Is Gone Sale Agreed 16.12.2025

She Put an Offer on Two Houses?! 09.12.2025

Welcome back to The Confession Box, and sorry again for last week’s missing episode… Julie makes up for it with plenty of chaos this time 🙃 She kicks things off having a full meltdown over recording an ad, spending nearly an hour trying to pronounce fancy wine names (Château what now?) and turning one poor bottle into champagne, red wine and everything in between. That spirals into a chat about z...

Julie Views A House 24.11.2025

It’s another wild catch-up in The Confession Box , and the trio waste zero time diving straight into the chaos. Julie’s raging over Sean’s “no common sense” parking stunt, Nana P is half-hearing everything and creating a whole new set of problems, and somehow they end up swapping stories about doctors, baby scans, pigeons, and men being absolutely useless in labour rooms. The big moment comes when...

Julie Has Another Announcement!! 18.11.2025

There’s another big announcement this week… but Julie’s keeping everyone guessing right to the end 👀 After last week’s pregnancy news, what could it possibly be this time?

All Three Back in the Box 20.10.2025

Nana P’s back, and her holiday stories are something else . From the shock of how expensive it’s gotten abroad to her not-so-graceful tumble, she’s got Julie and Sean howling.

Sean Went On A Date 08.10.2025

The twins’ 8th birthday party nearly finished Julie off — 26 kids, pizza, climbing walls, and pure mayhem.

Nothing Like the Good Aul’ Times 17.09.2025

Another weekly catch-up with Julie & Nana P. Sean is MIA again!

Poo Poo in My Pants 08.09.2025

Sean is missing this week (well… he drops in for a quick phone call 👀), but that doesn’t stop the chaos.
