45. One Missing From the Box
34:25||Season 2, Ep. 45Itās just Julie and Sean in the Confession Box this week, with Nana P missing as sheās in hospital, taking it back to the basicsWe talk TV obsessions, kidsā antics, overthinking, and the strange places your mind goes when youāve too much time to think. A proper catch-up episode with laughs, tangents, and the usual madness.What starts as the usual warm-up chaos quickly turns into a more honest, reflective chat about hospitals, waiting for updates, and the fear that comes with unanswered phones. Julie and Sean talk through past family health scares, how quickly your mind jumps to worst-case scenarios, and the strange ways people cope while waiting for news.Thereās still room for lightness, awkward laughs, getting tangled in thoughts, and the familiar back-and-forth that keeps things grounded
44. Happy New Year⦠From Bottle Machines to Butterfly Effects
30:54||Season 2, Ep. 44Itās the first episode of 2026 and the gang ease into the New Year in true Confession Box style ā by immediately arguing about dates, shopping, and who actually paid for Christmas.Julie reveals how a year of obsessive bottle collecting turned into nearly ā¬300 in vouchers, which somehow funded two full Christmas dinners⦠but still left everyone wondering where all the food went. That spirals into post-Christmas shopping chaos, Nana P navigating Dunnes on a broken leg, and Sean sending a āsimpleā shopping list that nearly causes a full aisle meltdown (granola, yoghurt and rice are all up for debate).As the chat drifts between icy roads, cancelled school buses, hospital scans, and Christmas nights out, Sean takes a sharp turn into philosophy ā introducing the trolley problem, the butterfly effect, and whether everything really does happen for a reason. Julie and Nana P are⦠not fully on board.
43. She Did NOT Get Drunk⦠She Got Pissed
35:31||Season 2, Ep. 43Itās full Christmas chaos in The Confession Box as Julie, Sean and Nana P squeeze back onto the couch and immediately start roasting each other.

Add in lost chargers, childhood trauma accusations, food comas and a little house talk, and youāve got peak Confession Box energy.Chaos, comfort and plenty of laughs ā just how we like it.
