How much has childhood changed since the 1970s and 1980s? In this episode of the Not So Christian Brothers podcast, Colm Hayes, Justin Caffrey, and Terry look back at the unfiltered freedom of summer holidays from their youth. From packing seven people into an old Ford Cortina to sleeping in actual chest of drawers on holiday, the lads share hilarious personal stories before breaking down the magic of community summer projects.
The conversation moves to the world of international sports, examining historical tournament memories from Mexico 1970 and Spain 1982. The team dives into the fascinating and restrictive insurance clauses faced by professional athletes like Norman Whiteside.
They also dissect the intersection of sports and global politics, analyzing how administrative decisions, political figures, and international media strategies affect athletic performances on the pitch. Plus, the lads react to their recent viral success on social media and discuss why public comments are getting increasingly passionate.
