Chapter 1: What controversial hot takes do Lucy and Nikki discuss?
A listener production. This is Happier with Lucy and Nikki. And if you're easily offended, then this might not be for you.
Most people are not self-aware. They just sound self-aware online because you can say things like, I have attachment issues, I'm emotionally unavailable, and I'm working on my triggers, and it works like a get-out-of-jail-free card.
But most of the time, people are just repeating language they've absorbed from TikTok podcasts or therapy content without actually changing their behaviour or patterns. Emotional intelligence is how you behave when you're triggered, how you handle conflict, how you show up consistently, not how well you can describe yourself in psychological terms.
Cheers, babes. We're going to have a happy hour with Lucy and Nikki, the real life shit you only discuss over a drink. But before we start, a little disclaimer.
So today we're here for Controversial Hot Takes Part 2. Just a quick moment though. Who would have thought when we made that intro... We'd still be saying it. That we'd still be saying it because we made that on the fly.
Oh, he's so true.
I never thought that. I don't think we can ever change it though. Fuck no. I love it. But I'm saying I just never would have thought that we'd still be doing it now. I know, babe. That's crazy, hey? Seven years? And do eight this year. I believe in September that podcast turns eight or seven.
Was Jagger eight? Seven. Jagger's eight. I'm pretty sure.
I also think back to the logo. So when we got our friend Kim to draw the logo, which is the hand and the wine glass. Still just so iconic. Iconic. Guys, don't forget, if you do want more of our unhinged banter. Well, it gets even more unhinged over on our close friends. You can join. The link is in our bio. We just get a bit rogue behind the paywall, don't we, babe?

Chapter 2: How do relationships become transactional?
He'd be like, I'm a shmush gooey so bad.
How's this, guys? So a couple of our friends that like are big partiers, all did like their own versions of like eight-week challenges for like three months off the booze or whatever at the beginning of this year. And one of our friends, Shimmy, did an eight-week challenge. And she's a DJ, so she like parties all the time. And she didn't drink for eight weeks.
And I was like, Shim, how is it going? And she's like, you know what, babe? I don't feel any better. And I'm fucking bored. I was like...
Good for you. Some people say that, hey. Like some people find it so amazing for like your clarity and all that sort of stuff. But like I guess as a DJ though, I'd be like my fucking job sucks. Yeah. Like as a pregnant person going out to the club heaps, I was like... Look, it's still funny. My quote was, if the music's good, you dance.
But honestly, I tell you what, I'd be dancing a lot longer if I had a few shgooies under my belt. Fuck me. If the music's good, you dance. If I was swollen, I was like, oh, mate. Do you know what good happens after 10 p.m.
?
Hates the fun shit. Yeah. Do you know what good happens after 10 p.m. when you're not? It just, the venue looks ugly.
Yeah, yeah.
Can I be honest?

Chapter 3: What are the implications of emotional intelligence in relationships?
It's like my little, oh, yum, yum, yum.
I feel that girl.
You know what I mean?
Mm-hmm.
That's how I feel about my afternoon wine. Yum, yum, yum.
Yeah.
What do people who don't drink coffee and don't drink wine look forward to? Cup of tea. Yeah. Doesn't hit the same, does it? Netflix. Yeah, I don't know. There's different ways to wind down though. Like what were sober people doing specifically in the Bridgerton era?
Like... I don't know. Yeah. People have always drunk though.
I always thought about like, no wonder, what's Margot Robbie's character in Wuthering Heights? Cathy. No wonder she pined for Heathcliff so much because she's got, she had no distractions, nothing to do.
