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.

This week, Alfie heads to crèche wearing a gold chain, Jo considers going for a walk without her phone, and Conor discovers that being consulted on the house doesn’t necessarily mean getting a say.

There’s also Jo’s unusual party trick, singing under pressure on the Ireland team bus, another disputed Murray vs Cooper quiz and your properly spooky stories.

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? Tell us which food spots we missed in the comments. And keep sending your spooky stories to the Murray Mailbag on Instagram for October.

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”.

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?

Conor and Jo are back from Marbella — although apparently not everything made it off the plane with them. 👀

This week, they settle a very important relationship question: if one person is carrying the passports, does that automatically make them Airport Dad and responsible for everyone’s luggage too?

Conor also reports back from his first pro-am, the house finally starts looking like an actual home, and plans for hosting Christmas immediately descend into negotiations over gate codes and turkey sandwiches.

Then Murray v Cooper returns. Jo takes on sport, Conor enters the world of fashion and pop culture, and one Sydney Sweeney question causes considerably more trouble than expected.

There’s also another September Reset check-in before the Murray Mailbag asks: when did you realise you were completely comfortable in your relationship — and can couples ever become too comfortable?

Farting etiquette, bathroom boundaries, shaved legs and several things Jo would simply rather never know about.
