Show Notes
Mum’s dressed like Tom Cruise, Sean’s already spent over €200, and somehow we’ve ended up arguing about whether grandparents should be allowed to hug their own grandchildren! 😂
This week on The Confession Box, we’re chatting about Cork’s Jazz Weekend, the crowds, the queues, and why some people would rather go home than queue for a pint.
Then we get into a very expensive day out. Coffee for everyone, lunch, shopping, UGG boots, and Mum trying to get a deal wherever she goes. Sean’s wallet definitely takes a hit! 💸
We also hear about Mum’s Halloween look, which apparently has everyone thinking of Tom Cruise, and her upcoming trip to Belfast for the Black Cab tour and the Titanic Experience two things that have been on her bucket list for years.
Things get a little more serious when the conversation turns to an advert about grandparents and consent, sparking a debate about affection, boundaries, and whether the message was delivered the right way.
And just when you think we’ve covered everything, we end up talking about mindfulness, Pilates, wildlife documentaries, clever ants, dung beetles and the incredible ways animals work together. 🐜😂
Another episode full of family stories, strong opinions, laughs and conversations that go absolutely everywhere!

More from The Confession Box
Nana P has done it again! 😂
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. 😂
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. 😂
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.
This week on The Confession Box, we're back with another episode packed with family stories, questionable facts and plenty of slagging.
