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.

What’s The Most Disgusting Thing Your Partner Does?
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.

We Gave Our Lives A Score Out Of 10... | September Life Audit
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. 🎃 Join in with the Happily Murrayed September Reset and let us know what you're changing this month.

What Does Your Partner Do That Drives You Mad?
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.

Should Couples Have Their Own Money?
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.

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.

Coming Soon...
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.
