Happily Murrayed

Cutdown & The Murrays

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.

    Would You Go On A Jog For A First Date?

    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.

    We’re back for Episode 2 of Happily Murrayed 🤍 This week we chat about Conor's trip to Anfield, why we’re making the move to Derry, whether Alfie will end up playing for Ulster one day, and why Chinese cuisine has such a special place in the hearts and bellies of Derry people.

    Our First Shift (And Why We Still Argue About It)

    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.
