Would You Go On A Jog For A First Date?

June 9, 2026 · 27 min

Show notes

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.”
