<v Speaker 1>as well. We give it some tang.

0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:08.200
<v Speaker 3>I think we're making from the same remp.

0:01:08.360 --> 0:01:10.160
<v Speaker 2>Anyway, Sorry, let's pres play again on the story.

0:01:10.360 --> 0:01:13.399
<v Speaker 3>I'm squishing up the avocados for guacamoli, and I'm telling

0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:16.280
<v Speaker 3>Bianchor about the thing you talked about on Friday Show

0:01:16.280 --> 0:01:20.119
<v Speaker 3>where you handed a Joy Division hoodie onto your daughter Lowess.

0:01:20.200 --> 0:01:23.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Joy Division an indie band from the eighties.

0:01:23.640 --> 0:01:26.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And I was explaining how I once saw a

0:01:27.319 --> 0:01:30.360
<v Speaker 3>not a documentary about Ian Curtis and Joy Division, but

0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:33.800
<v Speaker 3>a movie remake of his life. And I mean he

0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:37.280
<v Speaker 3>had a super sad life had he had epilepsy and

0:01:37.600 --> 0:01:39.319
<v Speaker 3>he took his own life at twenty three.

0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:40.840
<v Speaker 1>It was the lead singer of the band, and then

0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:44.240
<v Speaker 1>the rest of the band went on to form New Order,

0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:47.000
<v Speaker 1>which was instead It's a huge band in the British

0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:49.480
<v Speaker 1>kind of rock and indie scene. But yeah, Ian Kurt's

0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:52.000
<v Speaker 1>a lead singer. Yeah, took his life when he was

0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:54.320
<v Speaker 1>only in his twenties. But yeah, I guess you're best

0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:56.680
<v Speaker 1>know Joy Division from Love Will Terrorist Apart, which is

0:01:56.720 --> 0:01:58.200
<v Speaker 1>an amazing song.

0:01:58.240 --> 0:01:59.480
<v Speaker 2>One of the greatest love songs ever.

0:01:59.560 --> 0:02:01.280
<v Speaker 3>So I put the song on so that we could

0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:03.080
<v Speaker 3>listen to it, and we were talking about the band,

0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:05.680
<v Speaker 3>and then she's reading from his Wikipedia page and we're

0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:08.360
<v Speaker 3>learning more about them. So we go through their first album,

0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:10.560
<v Speaker 3>and then we went through their second.

0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:12.080
<v Speaker 2>Drinking and you're having strong drinks.

0:02:11.840 --> 0:02:14.000
<v Speaker 3>And we're having strong drinks, and then all of a sudden,

0:02:14.000 --> 0:02:15.000
<v Speaker 3>the mood has really changed.

0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:17.880
<v Speaker 1>It's not I stay away from the top shelf a

0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:20.000
<v Speaker 1>you know one of my life will stay away from

0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:20.640
<v Speaker 1>the top shelf.

0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:23.160
<v Speaker 2>It just doesn't doo many favors of stuff up there.

0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:25.320
<v Speaker 3>So now we have the albums on repeat and we're

0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:28.480
<v Speaker 3>into the second cocktail, and it's become a real somber

0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:31.560
<v Speaker 3>It's a happy hours long gone, it's now. It's now

0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:32.320
<v Speaker 3>somber affair.

0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:33.160
<v Speaker 2>And I am.

0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:36.320
<v Speaker 3>Texting you on Saturday night telling you, hey, we're really

0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:40.519
<v Speaker 3>deeply listening to Joy Division and it's really connecting with us.

0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:43.560
<v Speaker 3>And then you said, oh great, after that, try new Order,

0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:46.799
<v Speaker 3>which we did, and then a few more cocktails go by,

0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:50.440
<v Speaker 3>and go next, try Nick Cave into my Arms.

0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:52.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, what a song. It's like a hymn. It's that

0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:54.880
<v Speaker 2>beautiful sad song.

0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:57.280
<v Speaker 3>So this is by the end of happy hour and

0:02:57.440 --> 0:02:59.560
<v Speaker 3>picturing me on a bean bag in our living room

0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:03.320
<v Speaker 3>with a cock tail in hand, deeply, deeply connecting with

0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:04.280
<v Speaker 3>this nick Cave.

0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:13.880
<v Speaker 2>Song into my Oh Lord, into my oh lor.

0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:16.320
<v Speaker 3>You know those moments where you do just go like

0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:19.519
<v Speaker 3>you're you're at a moment in time where a song

0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:22.720
<v Speaker 3>just hits you so strongly, And this hit me I guess.

0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:24.919
<v Speaker 3>I mean the whiskey probably helped, yeah, but.

0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:26.760
<v Speaker 1>Still you could have just as paused to go, look,

0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:28.680
<v Speaker 1>let's let's put something else on now, and to cheer

0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:31.679
<v Speaker 1>us up. But it's a there's it's a beautiful, beautiful song,

0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:33.799
<v Speaker 1>but it's not your happy hours Saturday night song.

0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:35.480
<v Speaker 3>It's not a happy hour Saturday night song.

0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:37.400
<v Speaker 1>And then when did this move? It does something to you,

0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:40.320
<v Speaker 1>It just changed your internal being this song.

0:03:40.520 --> 0:03:43.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so but we had them, we had I guess

0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:46.000
<v Speaker 3>you would call it a sad hour instead of happy hour.

0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:47.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm really sorry for.

0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:51.800
<v Speaker 1>Ruins your night, but there is there's a there's a

0:03:51.840 --> 0:03:54.360
<v Speaker 1>melancholy is the the emotion about what I'm talking about here.

0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:57.600
<v Speaker 1>It's an underrated one. There is when there's a beautiful

0:03:57.760 --> 0:04:00.480
<v Speaker 1>sweetness to listening to sad song.

0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:01.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I love doing it.

0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:04.600
<v Speaker 3>It's not like we had a bad night and it's

0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:06.480
<v Speaker 3>not broken up. It's a very different thing and it's

0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:09.360
<v Speaker 3>not a negative experience. But there is something about sitting

0:04:09.360 --> 0:04:11.120
<v Speaker 3>in that sad, the.

0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:13.960
<v Speaker 1>Heart opening songs. But once you really drop into this

0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:16.640
<v Speaker 1>with Nick, where did you go next to you?

0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:19.200
<v Speaker 2>Did you listen to more sad songs?

0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:20.920
<v Speaker 3>We went back to join vision.

0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:26.279
<v Speaker 2>Now? And then what happened? Did you too?

0:04:26.400 --> 0:04:28.000
<v Speaker 1>Did you have a nice and Because sometimes when my

0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:29.840
<v Speaker 1>wife and if we're both your conspirats, so one of

0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:32.039
<v Speaker 1>us is that it's a it's a tinder box. It

0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:35.120
<v Speaker 1>can be a combustible. If we're getting on, it's fine,

0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:38.520
<v Speaker 1>but if there's a slight just one degree in the atmosphere,

0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:39.839
<v Speaker 1>it just you know, that's it.

0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:42.880
<v Speaker 3>Because I was connected so heavily into the music, which

0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:45.719
<v Speaker 3>I said, the anchor was telling me a story, but

0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:48.480
<v Speaker 3>I was locked in on the music. Then we had

0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:50.960
<v Speaker 3>a bit of a rebicked about the fact that I

0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:55.200
<v Speaker 3>wasn't listening to her and and I mean, she'll kill

0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:57.200
<v Speaker 3>me for saying this because I said that I understand,

0:04:57.279 --> 0:04:59.800
<v Speaker 3>but she said, when I'm telling you a story, you're

0:04:59.800 --> 0:05:01.800
<v Speaker 3>not listening. Just tell me you're not listening because I
