Speaker 3: Well, let me take you back to Saturday night where
Speaker 3: we had our happy hour date night. It's something that
Speaker 3: started during isolation where we make cocktails. Take it in
Speaker 3: terms to make cocktails for each other and snacks every weekend.
Speaker 3: So it was my week weekend to make the cocktails.
Speaker 3: I made the Godfather, which is a never had one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was really good.
Speaker 3: It's a Scotch whiskey with ameretto, which is an Italian liqueur.
Speaker 2: That's a heady combination.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well turned into a bit of a heady combination
Speaker 3: because we were enjoying the cocktails and I was making
Speaker 3: guacamole as our snack. Oh yeah, And I was telling.
Speaker 1: You, by the way, how do you make it guacamole?
Speaker 1: I made one yesterday followay a new recipe. It's the
Speaker 1: best one I've ever tasted. How do you make Oh?
Speaker 3: Mine was really good. Actually, I looked for a spicy
Speaker 3: guacamole recipe yep, because I wanted to achieve. I actually
Speaker 3: cut chilies up into it.
Speaker 1: Oh, this one had a little bit of chock onion
Speaker 1: in there.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 3: I had read on in your mind.
Speaker 1: Yeah, very nice and a little bit of line juice
Speaker 1: as well. We give it some tang.
Speaker 3: I think we're making from the same remp.
Speaker 2: Anyway, Sorry, let's pres play again on the story.
Speaker 3: I'm squishing up the avocados for guacamoli, and I'm telling
Speaker 3: Bianchor about the thing you talked about on Friday Show
Speaker 3: where you handed a Joy Division hoodie onto your daughter Lowess.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Joy Division an indie band from the eighties.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I was explaining how I once saw a
Speaker 3: not a documentary about Ian Curtis and Joy Division, but
Speaker 3: a movie remake of his life. And I mean he
Speaker 3: had a super sad life had he had epilepsy and
Speaker 3: he took his own life at twenty three.
Speaker 1: It was the lead singer of the band, and then
Speaker 1: the rest of the band went on to form New Order,
Speaker 1: which was instead It's a huge band in the British
Speaker 1: kind of rock and indie scene. But yeah, Ian Kurt's
Speaker 1: a lead singer. Yeah, took his life when he was
Speaker 1: only in his twenties. But yeah, I guess you're best
Speaker 1: know Joy Division from Love Will Terrorist Apart, which is
Speaker 1: an amazing song.
Speaker 2: One of the greatest love songs ever.
Speaker 3: So I put the song on so that we could
Speaker 3: listen to it, and we were talking about the band,
Speaker 3: and then she's reading from his Wikipedia page and we're
Speaker 3: learning more about them. So we go through their first album,
Speaker 3: and then we went through their second.
Speaker 2: Drinking and you're having strong drinks.
Speaker 3: And we're having strong drinks, and then all of a sudden,
Speaker 3: the mood has really changed.
Speaker 1: It's not I stay away from the top shelf a
Speaker 1: you know one of my life will stay away from
Speaker 1: the top shelf.
Speaker 2: It just doesn't doo many favors of stuff up there.
Speaker 3: So now we have the albums on repeat and we're
Speaker 3: into the second cocktail, and it's become a real somber
Speaker 3: It's a happy hours long gone, it's now. It's now
Speaker 3: somber affair.
Speaker 2: And I am.
Speaker 3: Texting you on Saturday night telling you, hey, we're really
Speaker 3: deeply listening to Joy Division and it's really connecting with us.
Speaker 3: And then you said, oh great, after that, try new Order,
Speaker 3: which we did, and then a few more cocktails go by,
Speaker 3: and go next, try Nick Cave into my Arms.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what a song. It's like a hymn. It's that
Speaker 2: beautiful sad song.
Speaker 3: So this is by the end of happy hour and
Speaker 3: picturing me on a bean bag in our living room
Speaker 3: with a cock tail in hand, deeply, deeply connecting with
Speaker 3: this nick Cave.
Speaker 2: Song into my Oh Lord, into my oh lor.
Speaker 3: You know those moments where you do just go like
Speaker 3: you're you're at a moment in time where a song
Speaker 3: just hits you so strongly, And this hit me I guess.
Speaker 3: I mean the whiskey probably helped, yeah, but.
Speaker 1: Still you could have just as paused to go, look,
Speaker 1: let's let's put something else on now, and to cheer
Speaker 1: us up. But it's a there's it's a beautiful, beautiful song,
Speaker 1: but it's not your happy hours Saturday night song.
Speaker 3: It's not a happy hour Saturday night song.
Speaker 1: And then when did this move? It does something to you,
Speaker 1: It just changed your internal being this song.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so but we had them, we had I guess
Speaker 3: you would call it a sad hour instead of happy hour.
Speaker 2: I'm really sorry for.
Speaker 1: Ruins your night, but there is there's a there's a
Speaker 1: melancholy is the the emotion about what I'm talking about here.
Speaker 1: It's an underrated one. There is when there's a beautiful
Speaker 1: sweetness to listening to sad song.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love doing it.
Speaker 3: It's not like we had a bad night and it's
Speaker 3: not broken up. It's a very different thing and it's
Speaker 3: not a negative experience. But there is something about sitting
Speaker 3: in that sad, the.
Speaker 1: Heart opening songs. But once you really drop into this
Speaker 1: with Nick, where did you go next to you?
Speaker 2: Did you listen to more sad songs?
Speaker 3: We went back to join vision.
Speaker 2: Now? And then what happened? Did you too?
Speaker 1: Did you have a nice and Because sometimes when my
Speaker 1: wife and if we're both your conspirats, so one of
Speaker 1: us is that it's a it's a tinder box. It
Speaker 1: can be a combustible. If we're getting on, it's fine,
Speaker 1: but if there's a slight just one degree in the atmosphere,
Speaker 1: it just you know, that's it.
Speaker 3: Because I was connected so heavily into the music, which
Speaker 3: I said, the anchor was telling me a story, but
Speaker 3: I was locked in on the music. Then we had
Speaker 3: a bit of a rebicked about the fact that I
Speaker 3: wasn't listening to her and and I mean, she'll kill
Speaker 3: me for saying this because I said that I understand,
