But just when you think it’s all laughs, Rebecca shares a harrowing personal story from her holiday (Caution When Listening), witnessing a man collapse and die on the beach in front of his wife and children. The conversation turns raw, heartbreaking, and deeply human.

This Aftershow is pure chaos — and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Justin, Colm, and Rebecca spiral from jokes about loose hyphens, perimenopause, and Japan’s luxury toilets into a heated debate on stingy friends, cutting people out of your life, and what sobriety really does to friendships.

This is Not So Christian Brothers at its most unpredictable: equal parts comedy, confession, and confrontation with life’s fragility.

If you’ve ever questioned your friendships, wrestled with cutting ties, or just needed a reminder that life can turn on a dime, this episode will hit you hard — and keep you laughing along the way.
