Brothers, Guilt & The Snowman: When Family Messes You Up
Colm and Justin get brutally honest about growing up, leaving home, and the guilt that never quite melts away.
This one hits hard.
In this week’s Aftershow, the Not So Christian Brothers — Colm Hayes, Justin Caffrey, and Rebecca Horan — drop the jokes (mostly) and dive into the emotional minefield of family, childhood, and guilt.
Justin remembers being left behind in a house that didn’t feel safe, watching Colm build a snowman through the window.
Colm swears he doesn’t remember doing it — and Rebecca isn’t letting him off the hook.
What starts as a nostalgic story becomes a brutally honest conversation about survival, neglect, loneliness, and why Irish families never really talk about love — just guilt.
It’s raw, revealing, and somehow still hilarious.
🎙 New shows every Thursday & Sunday.
đź—“Â This episode:Â Sunday, 2 November 2025.
Ever carried guilt from your childhood? Or blamed your brother for turning you into who you are?
Colm and Justin open old wounds (and old snowmen), with Rebecca playing referee.
It’s part therapy, part sibling rivalry, and 100% Not So Christian.
