| 10/12/26 | One Bottle of Wine, One Irish Coffee… and the Surprise Is RUINED 🍷😂 | Nana P has done it again! 😂This week on The Confession Box, we’re talking birthday surprises, holiday plans and the kind of family chaos that only gets funnier the more you hear about it.Julie had planned a surprise trip to Legoland for the twins, with strict instructions that nobody was to tell them where they were going. Unfortunately, after a bottle of wine and an Irish coffee, Nana P had other ideas… and suddenly everyone knew about Legoland! 🍷😂 Then came the debate over who took the tip money, and the question of whether Nana P should be trusted with any secrets at all.We chat about the family’s trip to Legoland, the restaurant meal beforehand, Sean’s night out, and the gin and tonics that mysteriously disappeared while someone was minding the house. There are also birthday plans involving Prague’s Christmas markets, a potential trip to Africa that raises a few questions, and the ongoing struggle of trying to help parents with phones, passwords and technology.Add in discussions about nature, dinosaurs, true crime, dancing, fishing, a birthday Hummer and a few more family stories, and you have another episode full of laughs and questionable decisions!🎙️ New episodes every week.Please be sure to like, leave a comment and share if you enjoyed the podcastAnd as always - Be safe out there !!

| 9/30/26 | 😂 “I’m an Irish Woman I’ve Got This!” | Sean is finally back in the Confession Box, although apparently he’s been enjoying a few weeks of “peace” while everyone else was looking for him. 😂Mum has plenty going on too, including getting her ceilings painted, trying to get a discount from the painter by offering him a plug on the podcast, and somehow comparing the whole thing to getting the Sistine Chapel painted. 😂We hear all about Fionn’s fishing trip, including the unbelievable story of him catching an eel on his very last cast and then coming away with a trophy.There’s also plenty of catching up on Sean’s beard, some serious accusations about whether he’s secretly been seeing someone, people recognising the podcast out and about, and Julie potentially heading off to South Africa for a trip involving Cape Town and a safari.Then things take a turn when the conversation moves onto health appointments, scans, smear tests and the latest things people are finding on TikTok before we get onto a completely different kind of story involving a huge bag of gravel and a woman determined to move it herself.“I’m an Irish woman. I’m independent. I’ve got this.” 😂And finally, the gang get talking about emergency supplies, wind-up radios, unpredictable weather, power cuts and whether we should all be preparing for the apocalypse.Another week, another load of stories from the Confession Box.🎙️ New episodes every week.Please be sure to like, leave a comment and share if you enjoyed the podcastAnd as always - Be safe out there !!

| 9/23/26 | Mum Put Concrete Where It Definitely Wasn’t Supposed to Go 😂 | Mum is back on the couch but Sean is missing; the new iPhones are causing arguments, and somehow we end up with Mum taking a Jaguar for a test drive and pretending she might actually buy it. 😂Then things get even better when Mum gets a €900 quote for painting a few ceilings, starts trying to negotiate with the tradesmen using the podcast as leverage, and ends up accepting a load of free concrete from builders working next door… only to discover afterwards that the concrete was covering drainage that absolutely needed to stay there. 😭We also get into the joys of helping kids with homework, The Traitors, Mum trying to pay her car insurance through an automated phone system, a plumber arriving to fix the “no hot water” only to discover there was actually loads of hot water, and the Tooth Fairy being forced to issue an IOU — followed by an expired voucher. 😂And because apparently that's not enough, the kids are getting a stretched Hummer for their birthday, while the episode finishes with Mum and Julie chatting about the Lizzie Borden story they've been watching.Another completely chaotic week in the Confession Box.🎙️ New episodes every week.Please be sure to like, leave a comment and share if you enjoyed the podcastAnd as always - Be safe out there !!

| 9/14/26 | "They Know Me in Tralee!" 😂 | This week on The Confession Box, the gang have plenty to catch up on, including a very memorable trip to the Rose of Tralee, where Nana P finally got her "pinch me" moment inside the Dome and somehow came away convinced that everyone in Tralee knows her.Julie also tells the story of an online troll who turned out to be much closer to home than expected, while the conversation moves through family life, the kids' sports, Rocco and Rio causing chaos, and how much easier things have become since Cathal started taking over at home.There's also a secret Legoland trip being planned for the kids, a very expensive new phone, and one particular Fortnite secret that Fionn absolutely could not keep to himself. 😂🎙️ New episodes every week.Please be sure to like, leave a comment and share if you enjoyed the podcast.And as always - Be safe out there !!

| 2/23/26 | How’s That Even Legal?! | 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 video game, and McDonald’s is making announcements about “we do not accept abuse” mid-ice cream order.As if that wasn’t enough, the conversation somehow ends up in America, where 56 fraternity pledges stand covered in ketchup and vodka refusing to move for police.Add in gym delusions, Dwayne “The Rock” comparisons, and a baby shower booking thrown into the madness, and you’ve got another week where the only real question is…How is that even legal?!

| 2/16/26 | Why Were the Guards at My Door at 5 in the Morning?! | 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 was happening, to passports going missing, to the slow realisation that the guards were the ones ringing at dawn — it’s a weekend Julie won’t forget in a hurry.And because this is The Confession Box, the episode somehow also takes a hard turn into childhood fears of the Bermuda Triangle, irrational worries about quicksand, and a full in-studio science experiment that proves your own hand can’t decide if it’s hot or cold.Guards, panic, nostalgia, and accidental education.Another chaotic one.

| 2/9/26 | Road Rage, €20 Coffees & Someone’s On Tinder | 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, sciatica updates, and the ongoing question of how anyone is meant to live with prices like this — and you’ve got one for the books.
