The After Show: Rebecca Calls BS: Why Men Fear Joy (and AI Can’t Replace Us)
In this Aftershow of Not So Christian Brothers, Rebecca joins Colm and Justin to bring a female lens to the big questions: why do men fear joy, is loneliness an inevitable part of life, and can AI ever replace real human connection?
Rebecca challenges the guys’ stoic realism with her unapologetic optimism, sparking a lively debate on denial, resilience, and whether joy lies in the big highs—or the small everyday wins. Along the way, they take on generational shifts, male conditioning, and the dystopian future of AI relationships.
Expect laughter, sharp honesty, and even a few near-tears as the sofa conversation gets raw, hilarious, and deeply human.
