What Happened After Alfie Was Born (And Rugby Didn’t Stop)

Conor Said He Was Retired… Then This Happened

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. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 – Coming up 1:30 – Bikini or salad?

What Happened After Alfie Was Born (And Rugby Didn’t Stop)

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. We also get into some parenting advice sent into the Murray Mailbag and open up about the weeks after Alfie was born — including Conor having to head straight into Ireland camp days later. Plus: Jo’s Mini Cooper at a rugby match, the advice that shaped Conor’s career, and plenty more. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZmxkxuZhrA] – Coming up 2:20 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZmxkxuZhrA&t=140s] – Catch up: Anfield & Paddy The Baddy 7:00 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZmxkxuZhrA&t=420s] – Murray Mailbag 8:00 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZmxkxuZhrA&t=480s] – Why we’re moving to Derry 11:00 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZmxkxuZhrA&t=660s] – Conor’s mentors’ advice 11:50 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZmxkxuZhrA&t=710s] – Will Alfie play for Ulster? 12:30 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZmxkxuZhrA&t=750s] – Jo’s Mini Cooper story at the rugby match 13:00 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZmxkxuZhrA&t=780s] – Parenting advice 15:30 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZmxkxuZhrA&t=930s] – What happened after Alfie was born — and why rugby didn’t stop 21:00 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZmxkxuZhrA&t=1260s] – Why Derry food is the best ever 📩 Send us your questions, dilemmas & stories: happilymurrayedpod@gmail.com 📱 Follow Happily Murrayed on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook & YouTube ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

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.
