Happily Murrayed

Jo’s planning to become the breadwinner—and she’s already promised to cover Conor’s coffees. But how would he feel if she earned more? And when Jo says neither of them minds picking up the bill, Conor’s face tells another story…

There’s also friendship in your thirties, a bathroom tile disaster, Alfie inviting himself into strangers’ houses on Halloween, and a Murray vs Cooper quiz that has Jo demanding justice.

Conor’s made his will. Jo reckons hers is easy: Conor can have the lot, and he’ll look after Alfie. Then Conor suggests he might remarry in a year. Suddenly, Jo would like to make a few amendments.

A clip of Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard raises another question: if your partner told the waitress she had gorgeous eyes, would you hear a compliment or be offering her your seat?

Jo tries to buy a quiz point with margaritas, and the Murray Mailbag takes on child-free weddings, a mother-in-law who lives next door and a fella whose international dial tone keeps giving him away.

Alfie has turned two, broken the telly and made himself very much at home in crèche. Conor and Jo take stock of life with their little boy - from birthday celebrations and toddler-proofing a restaurant trip to how becoming parents has changed them both.

Jo admits she’s completely changed her mind about crèche, while her dream day now involves Harry Potter, endless cups of tea and very specific visiting hours for Conor and Alfie.

Plus, Jo opens her Notes app to reveal her bucket list, the quiz gets competitive and there’s an update from our listener who was invited to Sicily.

Parents: if you had a whole day to yourself, what would you actually do?

Jo’s planned Christmas dinner, the cocktails and a family sleepover. There’s just one problem: Conor hasn’t agreed to the sleepover. They haven’t moved into the house yet, and the Christmas negotiations are already getting heated.

Elsewhere, an empty sauna raises some serious questions about personal space, Conor’s signed book turns up on Vinted, and Jo lays down another rule for their new bathroom.

Murray vs Cooper delivers a planetary misunderstanding and a memorable “as the crow flies” tiebreaker. Plus, your spooky stories include an unsettling Ring doorbell recording and a babysitter nobody hired.

They did the sleep training. Alfie has decided both parents need to be in bed beside him—and leaving requires permission. Luckily, Conor’s found a loophole.

This week, Alfie heads to crèche wearing a gold chain, Jo considers going for a walk without her phone, and Conor discovers that being consulted on the house doesn’t necessarily mean getting a say.

There’s also Jo’s unusual party trick, singing under pressure on the Ireland team bus, another disputed Murray vs Cooper quiz and your properly spooky stories.

The official Garda TikTok account saved one of Jo’s videos. An accidental tap… or is she on a watch list? Jo has questions, and Conor isn’t helping.

Meanwhile, a laundry dispute divides the room: Conor does the washing, Jo rewashes it, and neither is backing down. There are ghostly goings-on in the apartment, Conor’s childhood banshee checks and a listener story that gives everyone chills.

The countdown to Derry is on, the September reset has unravelled, and Jo is refusing her golf forfeit. She also opens up about her mum’s dementia, her own fears and finding a balance between looking after yourself and enjoying life.

Plus, the quiz rivalry continues and the Murray Mailbag asks: what’s the worst thing you’ve ever forgotten? Conor remembers hiding from Joe Schmidt, while the Murrays explain why they kept calling newborn Alfie “Archie”.

Conor’s golf swing has upset the internet, and someone spotted Jo shopping and went home to send her a paragraph about her shoulder pads, her ego and her “Nike eyebrows”. Jo has a few thoughts.

Meanwhile, Jo is convinced their apartment is haunted, Alfie gets his first haircut, and the September reset is going so well that the producers have staged an intervention.

In the Murray Mailbag: the biggest lies you’ve told to get out of something. From faking an injury to getting caught on Sky Sports, some of you have taken your excuses considerably too far.

Plus, can Conor finally knock Jo off her quiz throne?

Conor and Jo are back from Marbella — although apparently not everything made it off the plane with them. 👀

This week, they settle a very important relationship question: if one person is carrying the passports, does that automatically make them Airport Dad and responsible for everyone’s luggage too?

Conor also reports back from his first pro-am, the house finally starts looking like an actual home, and plans for hosting Christmas immediately descend into negotiations over gate codes and turkey sandwiches.

Then Murray v Cooper returns. Jo takes on sport, Conor enters the world of fashion and pop culture, and one Sydney Sweeney question causes considerably more trouble than expected.

There’s also another September Reset check-in before the Murray Mailbag asks: when did you realise you were completely comfortable in your relationship — and can couples ever become too comfortable?

Farting etiquette, bathroom boundaries, shaved legs and several things Jo would simply rather never know about.

Conor needs some space, Jo has a serious screen-time problem… and apparently some of your partners are absolutely disgusting. 🤢

This week, Conor and Jo reveal why life in their increasingly cramped apartment is pushing them towards Unhappily Murrayed, while the countdown to finally moving into their new house continues.

Then things take a turn as they discover some of the most disgusting things people have caught their partners doing — from booger walls to fingernails being saved for later. You have been warned.

The September Reset also hits its first major obstacle when Jo checks her screen time and discovers just how many hours of her week disappeared into social media.

And in the Murray Mailbag: Jo reveals the drastic measures she once took after locking herself out of her student house, a listener wonders whether she should fly to Sicily for a holiday romance, and Conor and Jo tackle lazy partners, bad relationships and whether you should listen when everyone in your life tells you someone is wrong for you.

September feels like a fresh start — so Conor and Jo are giving their lives a full audit.

This week, they score themselves across four areas: Body, Mind, Home Life and Soul — and work out what actually needs to change.

Things get slightly uncomfortable when they compare their phone screen time and discover Jo spent an average of 7 hours and 6 minutes a day on her phone the previous week, including nearly 14 hours on TikTok. 😳 Is it officially intervention time?

They also get honest about how becoming parents has affected their relationship, why date nights and cooking together have disappeared, getting stronger and healthier, being more present around Alfie and the changes they want to make throughout September.

Plus, Conor plans a mystery trip for Jo, there's an update from the house build, Jo wonders whether The Weeknd was harvesting her energy, and Conor reveals the one date he apparently cannot remember. 🎃

This week, Conor reports back from Ibiza, including party naps, questionable dancing and casually finding himself beside Jason Statham and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. Meanwhile, Jo heads to London, does some serious damage at Bicester Village and finally lands a Topshop job years after repeatedly being turned down by them.

We also launch Murray v Cooper — our new quiz designed to find out whether either of them can actually back up the things they confidently talk about every week. First up: Conor on pensions and Jo on the Rules of the Road. 🚗

Then it's over to the Murray Mailbag: "I love my partner, but I'll never understand why they..."

Dishwashers. Chewing. Whistling. Being late. Toilet habits. Leaving doors open. Clothing tags. And yes, several immediate calls for divorce.

Let us know the completely irrational thing your partner does that drives you mad.

A missing diamond, secret runaway funds and one question that seriously divided the Murray household: should couples have their own money?

This week, Jo reveals the panic of realising the diamond had disappeared from her ring mid-flight to Mallorca — and the small matter of whether Conor had actually insured it. 👀

Then it's over to the Murray Mailbag, where things get surprisingly heated. Should married couples combine everything? Should you always have money that's completely your own? If one partner earns more, should they have more spending money? And is keeping an emergency "runaway fund" just sensible?

Plus, your answers to the most ridiculous thing your partner has ever spent money on — featuring unused golf memberships, Star Wars helmets, pedigree sheep, €100 worth of coffee beans for someone without a coffee machine… and a €7,000 watch.

Elsewhere, Conor prepares for Ibiza with the best of intentions, Jo survives the Dublin Horse Show, and we discover an entirely new world of tiny horses.

Elsewhere, we enjoy two rare date nights, accidentally turn up to the wrong night of Dermot Kennedy, discover one of Ireland's best restaurants, and Jo somehow ends up with paprika in her eyes.

Jo opens up about the reality of being away from Alfie and why mum guilt never really switches off, while Conor argues dads feel it too… just in a very different way.

We’re also fully in World Cup fever in our house, with Alfie football-mad and the tournament taking over everything. Plus, we get into the reality of living together — and whether it actually means more or less sex.

There’s also the Murray Mailbag, your stories on what living with your partner is really like, and our weekly recommendations.

This week on Happily Murrayed, Jo tells us all about her trip to Portofino with Penneys — from €60 bellinis and Hugo spritzes to dancing in the streets of Italy and accidentally ruining pesto in a cooking class.

Meanwhile, Conor spent the weekend in Kerry reliving his childhood summers in Derrynane and explaining the very strange tradition of teenage “shifting” on the rocks after beach rugby.

We also answer your Murray Mailbag questions — including whether a jog is an acceptable first date, whether the man should always pay on date one, and how Jo handled the attention that came with dating one of Ireland’s biggest rugby stars.

Plus: jealousy in relationships, World Cup predictions, engagement stories with the Ireland lads, and why people keep calling Jo “Joanne.”

This week on Happily Murrayed, we uncover Conor’s surprisingly extensive beauty regime — from facials and shaving his legs to getting salmon sperm injected into his face.

After years of slagging Joanna for her modelling jobs and skincare routines, it turns out Conor might be just as high maintenance after all.

We also chat about our first RTÉ radio interview, Jo’s glamorous Portofino modelling trip, watching the European Cup final in a very Leinster-heavy pub, and a brilliant listener email from a Dub trying to adjust to life in Derry.

Plus: Murray Mailbag questions, Pete O’Mahony’s plans for our future garden, the butter chicken incident, and our recommendation of the week.

This week on Happily Murrayed, we’re all over the place in the best way possible 🤍

We get into Alfie’s first time swimming, Conor’s unexpected trip to a London gentlemen’s club, and Joanna’s big night away that somehow ended with her arriving home in somebody else’s jeans.

We also chat about how becoming parents has completely changed the way we think about life, death and everything in between.

There’s more feedback from listeners, more Murray Mailbag questions, another house-build disagreement (wood floors vs carpet floors), and Jo tries to justify buying wooden dumbbells.

Plus, Conor opens up about retirement, whether he misses rugby, and the call from Ronan O’Gara that nearly took us to France.

We’ve finally done it… we’ve started a podcast.

In our very first episode, we’re straight into it - fresh from a chaotic weekend at our friends’ wedding in Italy, running on no sleep and trying to figure out how Jo ended up balling her eyes out to a priest.

We get into the story of how we met (which, as it turns out, we remember very differently), from first impressions to our first kiss - including Drake’s role in it all.

Outside of that, there’s plenty going on - Alfie has conjunctivitis, the house build is in full swing, and Jo (along with the builder) is doing everything she can to stop Conor installing a half door.

We dive into the Murray Mailbag and we give advice on moving in together for the first time, why the robot hoover has become a major issue… and the one thing Conor still can’t understand about Joanna.

Send us your dilemmas, questions or stories - the messier the better

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Happily Murrayed is us - Conor and Joanna - chatting about our lives, our relationship, and everything that comes with it. From big life moments to the everyday chaos in between, we share the stuff that’s going on with us, the things we disagree on, and the moments that probably should’ve stayed private.

We’re figuring things out as we go - balancing life with baby Alfie, building a home, busy work lives, and trying to keep some sense of normality along the way. It doesn’t always go to plan.

This is a podcast about relationships - the good bits, the messy bits, and the moments that nearly break you. We don’t always remember things the same way, we don’t always agree, and we definitely don’t have all the answers… but we’ll give it a go.

Each week, we also hear from you - your questions, your stories, your dilemmas - and react in the only way we know how: honestly, and usually with a bit of slagging.

If you’re here for the chaos, relationship honesty, or just to feel a bit better about how you’re doing it, you’re in the right place.
