Professional snooker player Shaun Murphy and his musician fiancee Jo let you into their life.
In these raw episodes, the couple talk about everything from dealing with a loss on the table, to how their relationship works on the road. Working together, travelling together snd everything in-between.
Their chemistry is palpable and you'll feel like you're round at a friends house with a glass of wine having a natter.

Episode 10 - Pharmacy stories, taking your clothes off and planking
On this weeks show, the pair have a proper catch up. So much happens in such a short space of time - isn't life busy hey?
After the results of the Shenzhen Open, the couple talk about Emirates and the jelly bean saga once more... I wonder if Emirates will ever sponsor this podcast? They also share stories from the vets and the doctors. There's a connection there somewhere.
They are heading off to Dublin this week too. Do they ever sit still for longer than an hour?
Of course they had to congratulate Sir Kevin Sinfield on his achievements, even if Jo is slightly annoyed that he got his award before Shaun did. (She's always moaning about something!)
But the real question is - How long can Shaun hold a plank for? Answers in the comments...

Episode 9 - Fluffing, yachts and a broken ankle
Episode 9, here we go then. Firstly, we should apologise for the slightly below par audio for this episode. The pair are in China again, so are using their slightly less fancy microphones. Anyway, onto the episode...
There's a big old catch up this week - Shaun is in the middle of a tournament and Jo is dealing with a "broken ankle". They fill us in on Wedding plans and how many jelly beans were stolen on the flight to China... it is quite a lot!!
In this episode, they pair delve into a little bit of national news. Who do you think caused more of a stir in the media this week... Earl Spencer or Ed Sheeran?
And finally, their good old rant at each other! It's amazing how similar their rants are this week, but on opposite ends of the scale.
We hope you enjoyed yet another episode full of giggles. Remember to like, subscribe and share.

Episode 8 - Scotch Eggs, Screaming at the sea and Mark Williams beard!
Thank you for coming back and watching this nonsense we call "Clearing The Table". The pair are back and in a slightly new location - what do you think?
In this episode, they start with the usual catch up and as always, there's a lot of catch up on. The conversation meanders through the British Open in Cheltenham, the world's best scotch eggs, Mark Williams Beard and they touch on women in sport.
With the classic rant at each other, followed by quite a few listener questions, this is another corker of an episode.

Episode 7 - Secret snobs, Weighing snails and somebody gets the giggles
They are back with another jam packed episode of Clearing The Table, the podcast where Jo and Shaun basically slag each other for an hour.
First things first, there's a special guest on this weeks podcast...Which may not be the obvious from the start of an audio medium because their guest cannot speak.
They have a good old catch up this week as Shaun has been away for almost 6 weeks. Lots of travel woes and the usual sense of humour from the pair.
It all goes a little wrong when somebody gets the giggles... but who is it? And what was said?
Oh, and we should probably say - they are both drinking wine! It's been one of those weeks.
As always, please remember to like and share the podcast and leave a nice review whilst you're here. It's much appreciated!

Episode 6 - Drinking through a snorkel, tattoos and inviting Hitler to dinner
You're back and so are Shaun and Jo!
This week's episode is slightly different to the norm. Because Shaun is away in China and Jo is now back at home looking after the dog, they recorded another podcast before they separated with all your questions!!! Will they read out one of yours? Listen to find out!

Episode 5 - All about China, eating fish fingers and who snores the most!
They are back with episode 5 of their podcast Clearing The Table - who would have thought they'd have made it this far without falling out?
The pair are in China and have been for 2 weeks now... even though they sound like they have been there for months. They talk all about their experiences travelling through China and the start of the snooker season. But shush, that's enough about snooker now!
They have a couple of fun rants at each other, that couldn't be more different. One is about a level crossing and the other is about snoring, but which is which?
Moving onto their fun news story this week with yet another Guinness World Record being broken.
And of course, finishing with some wonderful questions from you - the faithful listeners!! Keep those questions coming in otherwise Jo really will have to start making them up.
Thanks for listening and remember to leave a beefy 5 star review for these two.

Episode 4 - The World Cup, toilet roll wars and drinking on the job.
They are back - and Jo is feeling stressed because of a big issue!!!!
The likeable couple start by discussing everything from the World Cup, politics in Ireland (only briefly because they try and keep this light) and a big old catch up! As we mentioned, Jo is feeling stressed so there may be wine involved here.
They have a busy couple of weeks coming up with the two of them heading out to China for the start of the snooker season.
(Remember, get those questions in for them to have something to talk about!!)
This weeks rant at each other, gets a little sticky with Shaun picking one of Jo's biggest flaws, and Jo hitting him back over his toilet roll etiquette (or should we say "Vet-iquette")
Of course, there's a fun news story to look forward to - although, you may want to use a different adjective to describe it.
And just for a little bit of fun, Jo has prepared a music quiz for Shaun!! He does pretty well, don't you think?
Anyway, thanks for listening as always - See you next time!

Episode 3 - Travel horror stories, airing their dirty laundry and Shaun's new fear unlocked
Back again with the next instalment of our couples therapy... This is Clearing The Table.
In this week's episode, Shaun and Jo chat about their time travelling around Europe on a cruise ship. Some funny stories transpire followed by a potentially unpopular opinion about babies... What do you think? Do you agree with Jo?
They then look ahead at the coming weeks where Shaun is knuckling down to practicing as the snooker season is fast approaching.
The fun news story of the week (or maybe the newly named "bonkers news story") unlocks a new fear in Shaun!
Of course, this podcast wouldn't be complete without the pair having a rant at each other. It wouldn't be a podcast without bringing some kind of beef about each other and airing their dirty laundry (pun intended!!!)
It's another fun week with this pair as they discuss all sorts and popular and unpopular opinions. Remember to like and follow on all social platforms and get your questions in for the next episode!

Episode 1 - The Pilot
The first episode of our brand new podcast, Clearing The Table.
In this pilot episode, we kick off by catching up with what we've been up to over the last month or so since the World Championships. We then do a little bit of a deep dive into what happened after losing in that griping final, but the tables are turned when Shaun asks Jo how she deals with the loss.
The news is so negative nowadays, so Jo decides to see what funny headlines are around from this week.
Taking inspiration from Chris and Rosie Ramsey, the couple then do their main section, aptly named after the show "Clearing The Table" where they each bring something to the podcast that winds them up. Hold onto your hats...
Of course there are some couples questions and the episode finishes with a segment called "Troll of the Week" - no guesses as to what that is about!!
It's fun, it's fresh and it's honest.
