Show Notes
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.

More from Happily Murrayed
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.
Three days eating their way around San Sebastián… then straight home to house-move chaos. Conor and Jo are back with their top three food spots, €2 beers and a long list of decisions they’d rather leave until later. The “retiree group” reunited with the Sextons, O’Mahonys and Healys for pintxos, cocktails and sea-urchin soup that wasn’t exactly Jo’s first choice with a hangover. Conor worried about Alfie from another country, while Jo insists a story is hilarious even as Conor questions whether it’s worth telling. Back home, Jo is ready to move in with or without windows, Conor has vetoed a piece of furniture, and even buying dishwasher tablets has become a debate. Plus, a sandwich comes with unwanted supervision, and the Murray v Cooper quiz takes a deeply unfair turn with a ten-point bonus question. Been to San Sebastián?

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”. Whose side are you on in the laundry argument?

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? Got a story for the Murray Mailbag? Send us a DM on Instagram, and subscribe for more Happily Murrayed with Conor Murray and Joanna Cooper.
Conor and Jo are back from Marbella — although apparently not everything made it off the plane with them. 👀
