Is the social balance of power shifting too far, or is it a necessary evolution? This week on the Not So Christian Brothers, Colm and Justin are "United by Chaos" as they record from France and South Africa. After a "technological avalanche" destroyed their first attempt at recording, the brothers return to tackle one of the most sensitive topics in modern psychology: the "sidelining" of men.


Justin dives deep into the "Manisphere" and the work of Scott Galloway, arguing that men under 25 are feeling increasingly marginalized as women move into the social and economic "ascendancy." It’s a raw, honest, and at times heated debate that leaves Producer Rebecca "hugely crossed" with Colm. Whether you agree or disagree, this is the conversation that everyone is having behind closed doors.


In this episode, we uncover:

  • The Global Tech Crisis: Why a skiing trip in France almost cancelled the show.
  • Birth Certificate Proof: Colm and Justin confirm their shared DNA for the record.
  • The "Manisphere" Debate: Why the term "sidelined" is triggering such a massive reaction.
  • The Scott Galloway Effect: Analyzing the psychology of young men in 2026.
  • Social Ascendancy: Who is really in the minority in the modern workforce?
