The School Toilet Shooting & The AI Bubble Bursting

About this episode

What happens when a group of rowdy Northside Dublin schoolboys are sent to Stratford-upon-Avon for a sophisticated cultural tour of William Shakespeare's house? This Sunday, theNot So Christian Brothersaftershow returns with a chaotic, border-crossing episode featuring Colm in the studio and Justin live from the ancient walls of Mdina, Malta. Colm drops a staggering true story from his school days involving an illicitly purchased air gun, a terrible ricochet, and an unfortunate English bloke who ended up literally being shot while sitting on the toilet in the public restrooms.

Not to be outdone, Justin completely pulls back the curtain on his childhood, confessing to a highly lucrative, underground 1980s contraband empire. After sneaking adult magazines past the Christian Brothers on a school trip to Germany, a 12-year-old Justin set up a highly organised weekend rental syndicate in Dublin—complete with accounting ledgers—before his mother discovered the cash stashed in his socks and got him suspended from school.

The brothers also take a sharp, brilliant look at the global economy. As tech stocks tumble and major markets plunge, Justin breaks down the death of Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan and exposes the massive financial illusion keeping artificial intelligence companies afloat. From Ukrainian drone operators redefining modern asymmetric warfare to the bizarre history of World War II prophylactic advancements, this is an completely unscripted, unfiltered masterclass in storytelling.

In this episode, we uncover:

• The Shakespeare Restroom Incident:Colm's hilarious first-hand account of the day an English tourist was accidentally shot by an Irish schoolboy.
• The Underage Porn Baron:How Justin became the Northside's premier black-market publication distributor at just 12 years old.
• The Artificial Intelligence Illusion:Why massive tech firms are spending 35 billion on marketing just to generate 8 billion in actual revenue.
• Asymmetric Drone Warfare:The harrowing reality of modern military technology and how young gaming geeks are taking down multi-million-pound state infrastructure.
