I always think of myself as just a regular, regular Ashley person. I just will never understand sticking fingers in intimate places with people that you don't know. That will never be okay. Do not touch people unless you have permission. We want to talk about the double standard and how most men are very respectful and ask for consent. Because we have to be. Where a lot of women men get away or feel like they can do things without consent because they're just a woman where if a man would do the same thing it would be sexual abuse like in big big trouble i love being a lawyer when i'm alone i love helping fluffing i love cheerleading i love of course i love playing too but i take time and i berve and i'm quiet and stuff the men were all wearing like Like vampire outfits and pirate jackets and all that. It was very steampunk vibes. Yeah, it was hot. It was super hot. And I was making out with people all night. And that's the key to that is making out with me. And I ran into the room and everyone was in there and I said, I'm going to go do swinger shit. And I skipped out the room. And so that was a joke all weekend long. I was so excited to get to go do swinger shit. And I was going to be a swinger. I'm not perfect anymore and I'm not their vision of who I was before I opened my mouth. What you see is what you get and we don't have filters and we're not perfect and we're going to mess up and we've told you that since day one. Don't expect perfectionist because you're going to be disappointed. Welcome to Hot Couple Chronicles, a podcast exploring the singing lifestyle.

Welcome. Happy Wednesday. I was waiting to say it. It's been a minute. It's been, yeah. It's been a week. A whole seven days. and vent in between there. So it makes it feel a lot longer. We've been busy the last month and it's going to just keep going until after Thanksgiving. So it's our crazy time. Yeah. But it's a lot. And then the weather has been crap since Sunday. Yeah. It's been cold and rainy. Yeah. And it's been days of just cold rain. And yeah. Yeah. So it's nice to bust out the sweatshirts and sweatpants that I want to kind of like in the cozy vibe while recovering. from a weekend. It's the worst weather for that. A weekend solo again. Yeah. It's the first time you've been alone in the last few events. Yeah, I've been spoiled with having you alone. And I get spoiled again at Secrets for a little bit. And that's it for my solo stuff for a minute with the holidays coming. And winter is my hibernation time. So I'll be really focusing on the brand and we're going to be filming podcast episodes because we only have two more episodes. Yeah, we're almost there. So and then we're taking off for Thanksgiving and Christmas. It falls a perfect time. Yeah, New Year's. New Year's. And we'll come back sometime middle January and we'll be back. But we want to make sure we're still recording and filming. We have a lot of guests that want to be on the podcast. So a lot of ideas. A lot of our friends are coming to us with topics they'd like to hear more about. And so we're excited to work on that this winter. And yeah, just kind of film, make things better, hibernate a little bit. And just focus on. So winter hibernation. And then we come back in spring. Yep. And we'll have all new stuff for the spring. And it'll be swinger season again. And full force before we know it. We don't have New Year's Eve plans yet. But I'm sure we'll get some here soon. Yeah. I'm sure that we'll get some. But yeah. So this weekend, I attended Pine Ops After Darks and Chanted After Dark Party. I went solo, but I'm never alone. Never by myself. Ever. You went solo, but you're never alone. Never by myself. Ever. at all. So yeah, we went down Friday. So Friday morning, we had a program at the school for our child at 9 a.m. Yeah, we had the. So it was an early morning. Award ceremony. Had an award ceremony. And of course, I have to go to that. So it was early morning, got ready, out the door. And that didn't last too long, luckily, because I was worried about. Luckily, they split it up. And so it didn't take that long. Yeah, I was worried about getting up there. And we could ski under there. Because I went, again, with anything but vanilla, Rob and Lindsay. I was driving to their house, and then I was going to come along with them from their house and leave the car there, so we only have to take one car and stuff since I was rooming with them and everything. I didn't really need a car for the weekend. We were in Buckhead. It was in Buckhead, Georgia, right outside of Atlanta, which is our old stomping grounds. That's where we fell in love with Buckhead as soon as we moved here and we went to explore Atlanta. We didn't really love Atlanta downtown. We did all the tourist things, so we kind of out and we're looking for new places to eat. That's usually how it starts. And we found some really good places there and just loved going there to eat. And we'd walk around the mall and shop and do, you know, little things. It's just a cute little, cute little. It's not very little, but it's got a lot of stuff there. Yeah. And usually where there's good food, that's where we love to hang out. Yeah. It's got food and shopping. So we usually like it. Yeah. We like the vibes. We like all of that. So I was excited. They did this in the Cooley Hotel. It's a cute little, it's a Marriott, It's like a boutique hotel. It's like 250 rooms or something like that. It's not too big, but it's pretty large. And yeah, so I drove the three hours to their house and then went with them into Buckhead to the hotel. And we got there. I knew they had wanted to get there pretty early. They wanted to leave at like 12. And I knew that. And this program was going to be over like 10 and it takes almost three hours to get to their house. So I was worried about it. And plus it's in land on traffic and you never know what to expect. So luckily the universe helped me that day. I got out a little early. Didn't really have, I had a little bit of traffic problem. There's always going to be traffic no matter what. But I just still did good timing. Still made it up there. And they were still loading up and Lindsay was still working. So it worked out. We ended up hanging out for another like hour or so before we left and packed the car. I mean, completely top to bottom. There was not one spot that was empty. We had to stop at the store. We were putting stuff in between our legs and we had the trailer on it. We had the racks up the top. I mean, everything for the party was in that car. So it was a lot. And then we drove down there and immediately room crawl was at five o'clock on a Friday. Check-in was at three, four o'clock. So we got there, it was like two-ish, which was good timing. And then it took quite a while to get everything unloaded. We had to get carts and you know how it goes and getting everything in there. We had a 360. we had everything they needed for that party. Was there already a lot of people trying to check in? Yeah, everyone was also getting there early, thinking they could get it checked in early. And that wasn't the case. It took a little bit, you know, how it goes. That's why everyone was so stressed out. And I'm just like, this is every event that I've ever. I'm lucky enough to get a lot of the behind the scenes to a lot of these events and these takeovers and stuff. And it just happens with hotels like that. You're talking to customer service. They're working with people who aren't in the hotel and the people are talking to and communicating. with just aren't a part of the everyday staff that's there. And they're kind of lost. Communication is always a big issue. Well, when you're not buying out an entire hotel. It's blocks. And you're buying, you know, blocks of floors. Then you're only talking to a sales rep for Marriott. Yeah. And so you're talking to all these in-between. Communication gets weird. And it's so normal. It's to be expected at every event. There's, even if it's a buyout, there's always, even secrets, there's been. problems with rooms and nobody's getting in time. And you're just going to always have hiccups. When you have a massive influx of people all of a sudden, it's bound to happen. Yeah. All at the same time. And it was like that. So immediately me and Lindsay do what we do best. And we just went into welcoming squad. So we stood in the lobby for a few hours, like hours until, because some of the rooms weren't done for like two hours past check-in. So we were standing there until just up into the room crawl. And then everybody was upstairs. People were getting checked in. the room call was at five, but everyone was getting done work and getting into the city. And it was just kind of chaos a little bit, but we, it worked out and everyone got in there and we hung around and distract people from the fact that they were waiting for the room and the rooms were messed up. So that's what we do best. We love welcoming the people. There were so many new people, so many people who have never been to anything at all. And it's always fun to just be a good welcoming face. And I feel like the last couple of places we've been, there's been a lot. new people. Every single event we say this, but it's true. It's every single place we're going. Everyone's saying this is the first time we've ever done anything. We just joined the lifestyle. We're just exploring. We've never been to a hotel. Yeah, an event. This is our first event ever. Our first time with the group. There's so many firsts all around and it really is nice to remind yourself like you are the welcoming face of their first experience ever and that is where my heart is. That's where we thrive. That's my favorite thing in the whole world. And there's a chance that they know you're Yeah, that's. Well, I love that too. I love that on social media aspect and in real life at events and stuff. I love being like the first face I see. I love that. That's my favorite. But does it, what I was trying to say is, does it make you feel a different way when you're introducing yourself when they probably have already seen your face? Like they have an idea of who you are. I also never, when I'm talking to people, I never really think about that. Like I always think of myself as just a regular, Ashley person. So I don't actually ever think that. I don't ever be like, oh, you know me. The ones that I kind of giggle at are like, we'll introduce ourselves and we'll talk for 30 minutes, 45 minutes. And then after a while, like, wow, I've met you before, right? I'm like, no, like you look so familiar. And then they're like, are you on TikTok? Are you on Instagram? It's not those, it's the ones that talk to you for 45 minutes to an hour and then inform you after you tell them all about who you are and your story and your husband and stuff and then they're like, oh yeah, I already know. I know everything about you. I've followed you for years and I know everything. That's what gets me. Like, just tell me up front if you know who I am so I know because I just spewed everything you already knew about and made it really weird. So, I don't know. I just never assume that anyone knows who I am until they tell me. You're the only one who ever reminds me, like, they probably already know. Yeah, like, there's a good chance. I mean, especially, like, smaller events like this one that are a private Facebook group, really. Yeah, and we're pretty active, like, around there. Like, chances are they know. They know. I heard a lot, just already. Or even, like, a Swinger Society takeover when we were hosts for Swinger Society. There was a lot of Libertine people there. There were a lot of Libertine people there, surprisingly. Yeah, I just assume that they, know us until I know they don't. I assume they don't know who I am until they tell me the other. Like I don't assume like they know my name or your name. I always introduce my. You're listening to a podcast right now. Driving, working out, walking the dog.

But I just have, in the back of my head, I assume that they have some idea of who I am. It's still weird to me. You'll never assume that. But yeah. So yeah, we stood in the lobby and just made sure everybody was welcome, got everybody water, whatever they needed, and just kind of hung out with them until everybody got situated and let the front desk do their thing and stuff and put out fires and Lindsay and Rob killing it as always and Davey and Lauren, they're all doing their thing. So we were just welcoming everybody and making sure everybody was getting settled. And then we ran upstairs and it was time for the room call. As soon as it started, we got a noise complaint, and we needed to be quiet, and we were all in the hallway, and it really wasn't even that bad, but it was a hallway full of swingers that were doing what they do. We were rowdy. Just talking loudly. Everyone was very excited. They just got there. Well, as more people talk, they have to talk louder because they can't be heard anymore, so it just gets louder and louder and louder before you know everybody's just yelling. This is how on Sundays, I always end up with no voice. It was getting loud. And I did say, I mentioned a few times, like, why is everyone yelling at each other? Everyone's next to each other. My question is, is who complained? I don't know. They had, the staff was up. I don't know. That's my question is, who's complaining? Like, it's not like the. It was five o'clock on a Friday. That's the part that got me. I was like, it's five o'clock. Like, people can talk and hang out at five o'clock. Yeah, it's not like it was quiet time hours. It's not like it was quiet time hours. Yeah. Like, people were sleeping or doing, you know. You know what I mean? But they complained. They came up like three times trying to get everybody to be quiet. And then the leader, Kelsey, she takes care of everything. She's the one who's in charge. She kind of coordinates every single thing. And she immediately ran down there. And because they had already pre-approved all of this. They already knew the plan. Well, that's the thing is that's the communication part is they were already supposed to be aware of what was happening and that there was going to be people in the hallway. There was going to be loud talking. There was going to be a lot of stuff going on. They said it was fine, knew it was happening. But there was that discommunication between the staff and the people who were the managers and stuff in charge because they weren't in the building. So as soon as she went over there and explained it and worked it out, it was fine. We didn't hear anything else about it. But it was only an hour or two. It wasn't like it was all night long. It was one hour. And it started late. So it was like probably 45 minutes of people hanging out. It was like four rooms. It wasn't that serious. But, you know, it was like everyone was very excited to get there. It's Friday. Everyone's pumped. They're so ready for the weekend. So everyone, you know, just living their best life. And it worked out fine. And everyone walked around and got their drinks and their snacks and their goodie bags and everything. And it was fine. And then it pretty much, it was like go time immediately for getting out for the night. So Friday night wasn't officially an event night. They had rooms, places, and you could go to wherever you wanted to go. Just kind of have a night out on the day. Yeah, they just called ahead and made sure there was a spot. We told them that big groups were coming. So the official plan was on Friday night at the Elbow Room from 7 to 10, they had a meet and greet dinner. So it's just food. It's like a tiny little bar. It was really cute. They had a little space and you could order food and drinks and just hang out and just get to know everybody. And there was a little group there. And then Lindsay and Rob were getting sleepy. Like 8.30, 9 o'clock, they said that they were heading back to the room. And I wasn't ready to go to bed yet. It seemed a little too early for me. So I asked to tag along with the Motherfucker Lees and they're going to a birthday party. It was a really cute Halloween spooky dark vibe going on. One of our friends was having a birthday there. So we hung out there for a little bit. And then at 10 o'clock, the DJ, DJ Beargate, who was DJing the event, was playing there. So there was a hangout spot there. the late night people. So we wanted to hop over there and at least see him play for a little bit, support him. So we went over there and yeah, I got a mozzarella stick at the Elba Room Hangout and went to a birthday party. A mozzarella stick. A mozzarella stick that some of our friends offered me, thankfully, because that was all I'd eaten all day. And then went over to the birthday party, said hi, gave hugs and everything, and then went over to Moondogs and watched DJ Beergate and danced and got to do the wall. Mike got him to play the wobble for a moment and had a wobble moment and the bartender was a patty so that was fun fortunately unfortunately she was giving us all the shots in the world all sort of different things but yeah we had fun all the sugary sweet shots yeah yeah it was no tequila it was a lot of like yeah a lot of fruit sugar a lot of sugar and then after you know midnight everything starts getting more crowded more people start coming in, that's when everyone starts skimming out and started getting a little bit claustrophobic. And honestly, do not miss vanilla bar hopping at all. Not one bit. I was groped and touched the entire night, all night, just fingers everywhere. And I hadn't felt like that in a long time. Luckily, I go to a lot of lifestyle stuff. And so I don't really have to deal with that ever anymore. And men are very respectful pretty much all the time in The Swinging Land. But not so much in Vanilla Room, unfortunately. I just need to do better. Yeah. I was a lot younger. The younger crews started coming out. A lot of people that just need educated and consent and reminded. And people started feeling good. People were drinking. And everyone was excited again. It was Friday night. But never okay to touch people. I just would never understand sticking fingers in intimate places with people that you don't know. That will never be okay. It'll never be alright. None of this was consent. I know people. That's the problem. So yeah, and then it was Friday. So we always usually try to get to bed decent hour on Fridays. So it was time to head back to the hotel. And then when I showed up there, we had a whole room full in Robin Lindsay's room. I thought they had went to bed a long time ago because they were stuffing hangover bags and doing all sorts of stuff for the next night. And they had their pajamas on. But then I showed up and there was a crew in the room. So I ended up hanging out with them. and just talking and just kind of hanging out and wrapping up for the night and not to bed. Nothing. Exciting. I see. We had gotten a comment on the last episode that all everyone wants to hear about is details about our fucking and we need to stop talking about everything but fucking and all I gotta say is that this is probably not the podcast for you. We will never be that podcast that talks about intimate details with other people. That's fine. I know a lot of podcasts do and it's just not us. It's not ever what you're going to talk about. You're going to hear a lot about our friends, our friendship, our fun times, our funnies. Yeah. That's just who we are. We might allude to certain things, but we don't tell you. And you're not going to know with who. We really do try to keep everything very, we always have, even our social media, really pretty PG. Like we really do try to keep our content pretty because we know there are a lot of younger people, a lot of new people, a lot of, you never know. And we want to protect our friends and the people that we play with. Everyone that we play with or around, We're not going to tell you. We're not going to talk about every time we have sex with a stranger or one of our friends because not everyone consents to that. Again, consent is everywhere, not just physically. It's also stuff like that. It's unless I have consent to share a story or share a moment that we've shared together, I'm not going to just talk about it, especially not in detail. So it's probably not going to be the podcast for you if that's what you're looking for here. We're more of soul heart, just fun. We like to have fun and we like to talk about our fun. stories and it's chronicles of our lives that's why we chose the title that we chose it's just going to be chronicles of us and who we are and the people around us and so yeah i wanted to bring up that somewhere in there briefly and then consent do not touch people unless you have permission those are the two things i really want to talk about we it is to point out that it was a vanilla crowd that was yes but we'll talk about it we have another episode that we were just talking. We had friends I talked to yesterday that called me and they had an idea for a podcast because we're going to talk about the next night obviously in a minute but he had the same experience as a male with females. We want to talk about the double standard and how most men are very respectful and ask for consent because we have to be where a lot of women get away or feel like they can do things without consent because they're just a woman. Where if a man would do the same thing, it would be sexual abuse. In big, big trouble. Especially banned from the lifestyle and shamed publicly and everything else. But women, for some reason, think that they can do whatever they want. And so we're going to have that conversation. We have a guest that wants to be on and talk about it because he also believes men should stand up and you shouldn't be viewed any differently, no matter if you're male or female. You know, it's violating to have someone touch you when you weren't expecting it and when you weren't asked first. And so we're going to go deeper into that. I know that's something that we've talked about before. And so I really think that it needs its own episode. And I'm excited for that. So that'll be next season. We'll have that. But yeah, continuing on. Then we woke up. I had a horrible headache because of the sugar drinks that I had. Just a headache. Just tired and headache. So for the rookies out there, if you wake up with bad hangovers after a night out, it's probably all the sugar you drank. I didn't even drink a lot. It was like three shots. It wasn't like a ton of alcohol, but it was just sugar. Yeah. Just sugar. So like the between dehydration of alcohol and the sugar, the glucose content, that's just where people get the worst hangovers. That's why if I do shots, it's usually a tequila shot because tequila is just safest for me. It makes me feel fine. I don't get hangovers. It's been a long time. That's why I started drinking tequila. It was for that reason. Then I introduced you to it. You're like, oh, wow. After the real first night of drinking just tequila and you're like, I feel great the next morning. I take two or three shots of sugar. I feel horrible in the morning. Glass of wine or two. Horrible the next morning. But if I do just a couple shots of tequila or a drink with tequila in it, I don't feel anything. Perfectly fine the next day. Every time. Never fails me. So yeah, I definitely, if I do drink, that's usually what I'm going with. But then we had also in the room crawl had had vodka with pineapples soaking in it. So there was sugar in there. It was just something that first. That's a little bit better though. It was better, but. Is there sugar in the pineapple? But vodka is low sugar as well, but the pineapple added it. No, something I don't normally drink. Yeah. My body freaks out a little bit. Looking to add some excitement to your social life? Meet Three Fun.

We walked across the street to a corner bakery and got a croissant sandwich and a soda, and they got their coffee. It's my coffee, my soda. And felt like 100 million percent better. Went up to, we have friends that every single time that we have an event, the morning of the event, she brings her nins. a slushy machine. Oh, yeah. She gets everyone to come to her room for mimosas, slushies. So that's usually how we wake up at an event for staying somewhere in a hotel with them. So we went up there and got to visit. We had friends from Louisiana that also want to be on the podcast really soon. Some OG. You're listening to a podcast right now. Driving, working out, walking the dog.

So we're going to get them on next season for sure because they're another missing piece in our story that's very important. Yeah, they're a big part of our story. So we want to get them on soon. You'll hear from them soon. But I got to hang out with them. It was so nice to finally actually away from the party, away from Zloud, everything to kind of just sit and be with them. And so I was so happy they were there. A lot of people that I hadn't seen for a long time, a lot of random faces from from Libertine, from Swinger Society, just a whole bunch of people that I was surprised to see. I was really happy to see. And then, yeah, we knew that we wanted to be getting everything upstairs. Everything had to be decorated. Everything had to be put out. Everything had to be set up. And so it was at the bar on top of the hotel. Yeah, the hotel party that night. Saturday night was up on the rooftop. Beautiful spot. But we had to decorate, get everything ready. The party started doors open at 7.15 or something. like that. So we wanted to be all set up and ready. Plus, we had to get ourselves ready. And it was just like every event gone. And we barely made it there by the time the party started. We had set up and then came back down, luckily, to get ready and then go back up there. But got everything set up. The 360, we got some really cute videos and did some TikToks, did a little bit of social media work and stuff like that. And then made sure everything was set, came back down and everyone's coming in at your rooms and it's time to get ready. That really does prolong the getting ready process. Because you always have visitors that distract you from getting ready. Because we love having our door open. We love people coming in. But yeah, you're sitting in the hallway or sitting in the doorway talking. An hour goes by and you have no idea it's been an hour and it's time to go. And then everyone had to shower and there's three of us in the room so we have to take turns. I mean, that's what happened to us in San Antonio before we went to dinner. It's like, I wanted to shower, get changed. So did we all. Yeah. And then they're like, oh, it's time to go. I'm like, well, shit. Sometimes it is what it is. Anymore with these events, I've learned the only time you're going to get that's kind of quiet is the morning as soon as you wake up. So the best bet is to take your shower, put your face on like you're going to do it at the event. I used to be a three hour before the event doing a full face glam, but it's so much easier if you just put it on after your shower in the morning and then at nighttime, jump back in and refresh everything. I always say, I need to wash my butthole and get refreshed. And then if you want to do the party makeup, put a little bit of... Yeah, just touch it up. It's so much easier if you do a darker eye, you slam it up when you already have a base. And it's helped so much because it cut the time in at least half. And because you don't have the time, period. Time just is never on your side there. And so it was a lot of run, hustle, hair, showers, and then order pizza. So we have actually eaten something because that's very important. So someone reminds me to eat. So we got pizza, had a piece of pizza and it was time to roll out and showed up and it's ready go time. And the party was absolutely amazing. It was perfect. The lighting was perfect. The space was perfect. So many people. It was just people everywhere you looked and everywhere you turned. It was good though. It was such a good turnout. So much fun. And they had a tarot reader, which everyone was blown away by and crying and love her. I was really, I was so happy to sit down with her and talk to her. And then they had crystal mapping, which I didn't get to do. I'm really sad. I never got to do. There was a line every single time I went over there. There was a line and something would distract me or there was also the backdrop right there. So everyone would be like, let's see pictures. And then it's gone. I just never got a chance. It was just so packed. But I luckily squeezed in and got a tarot reading. And that was so much fun. And then I spent the rest of my night dancing. He played the wobble for me again. This time he played the whole song. And everyone got on the floor and I got to do the wobble with all of my friends. And that's always a highlight. I'm going to start mapping out everywhere I've done the wobble. Making a whole project, making a whole thing. I need to do that because now it's a thing. Where has Ashley done the wobble? Yeah, I'll start pinning my locations. And I just, it's not even a song. I don't even care about the dance. None of it. It's really, honestly, the moments I've had with people dancing. everyone's just smiling and laughing and just having all of our friends come and a lot of time i love it when they're just there because they wanted to do it with me or because they know that i love the wobble and so they do it with me and just everyone comes out and it's a good time and everyone is there on the dance floor it's like the one moment night where like everybody comes out to dance and i love those so any line dance is my fave my fave but the wobble has definitely become my anthem i think at this point everywhere i go someone plays it so um Yeah, it was fun. I got to wobble and dance and hung out and partied until it was time to. I think I'm going to sneak the wobble into your spicy playlist. It's just to see what you do in the middle. It's also like a middle of an orgy. See what you do. Like, what are you going to do? I would do for sure. For sure. Oh, another funny story that I feel like we should talk about is that a few I was wearing a jean jacket. And so the motherfucking lease, Sam, she made a comment that like hates, absolutely hates denim jackets. Like despite this. So ever since it's been this running joke of anytime I'm wearing a jean jacket, I wore a jean jacket to the event Friday just for him. And I told Lindsay when I got to her house, I said, do you have a jean jacket? Bring it. We're going to do something. I was telling all my friends, get your jean jackets, bring them. So I had so many people wearing jean jackets. Everyone was wearing jean jackets. And the plan was that weekend, that Saturday night after the party, was everyone in thongs, jean jackets. And then Lindsay was going to set him down on the bed and be like, we have a surprise for you. We're going to put on a show. We have a show. Not knowing it was going to be us in just thongs and denim jackets. Unfortunately, we all disappeared and scattered and everyone got separated and time got away from us. But the plan is secrets to do that. So we started it today. Well, Lindsay did today. He texted me and said she was going to mess with it. Continue it and keep messing with him. So we're going to post them on Facebook. So I was all here for it. And then I just immediately started messaging all of my friends to bust out their jean jackets. And so, yeah, that's where it came from. It kind of came from that weekend. Really inspired me to really mess with him even more. Even more. I'm wondering what's going on with the jean jackets. He's going to stop supplying your blow pops when I'm not there. Yeah. It's out of love. It's out of love. I'm like, you're my friend. Do not tell me something you don't like because I will make sure you love it by the end. Promise. That's just a little funny that I want to add in there. I'm sure he'll appreciate it. You've been having fun with it all day today. I've been having fun for the last like week or so with it. It's been so much fun. The best part about it is I'm texting everyone and leaving out the part that he hates them. They have no idea that he hates them. So they're completely. This is funny. It's just the little things. I don't know how you aren't just laughing 24-7 with me in your life no idea crack me up but anyway back to the party everything was closing everything it was time to wrap everything up and you know how that is it's everyone was I was making out I made out of a lot of people I had some really good makeout sessions in that party and then I was getting a lot of room numbers thrown at me And people whispering, like, come to this room, come to this room. I had so many in my head, I couldn't remember any of them. So then doing what I do, I'm looking for safe people. And so I followed some of our friends and went away with them. I was like, I come, you're safe, I come with you. So I went up there and hung out up there and there was some play going on, got to watch, got to hang out. I'm a big watcher when I'm alone. I love being a voyeur when I'm alone. I love helping, fluffing. I love Cheerleading. I love, of course, I love playing too, but I take time and I'm quiet and stuff. And everyone is just so kind when I'm by myself. They're always like, are you okay? Make sure I'm okay. Make sure I'm safe. I'm feeling good and everything. And they're like, we should probably get you back with your regular crew. So her husband escorted me down to our other friend's room and the door was open. So it wasn't like we were like just busting in the door. But we did walk in on them with another couple. So, of course, me and him were like, oops, sorry, love you. We were just, you know, seeing what's going on, coming to see what you guys were doing. And it was, we've had that moment before where we've interrupted. We didn't know if they were swapping. We've also been interrupted. And we've been interrupted many times, but normally they're the orgy rooms. They have a group of people. That's normally what's going on there. But when you walk in and there's only four and they're swapping with each other, it was one of those, like, felt super guilty. Felt so bad. That was a rookie mistake. Should have knocked. But you get so used to just going in and having tons of people in there. So it was a moment. But I ended up going back with him. I was like, OK, well, we'll go back up there. And then they ended up saying it was fine. They actually were waiting for everyone else to get there. And we had just come in. So everyone came down there and we got to play. I watched. There was a girl girl spanking session that was making. I, all night, I was running around, like, I am so turned on right now because I was so turned on the entire night. It was very goth, very black, very dark red, very, oh, so hot. Every guy had eyeliner on. It was, like, they had, everyone was velvet. The men were all wearing, like, vampire outfits and pirate jackets and all that, you know, like, the velvet. It was very steampunk vibes. Yeah, it was hot. It was super hot, and I was making out with people all night, and that's, the key to that is making out with me. So I was wanting to participate. And I did. I watched. And then I got thrown around and smacked around and got a mask. Got a moment with a mask. That was hot. Yeah, I got to play. Did my normal squirting. Did my normal, you know, orgy fun time. But yeah, I got to watch a really hot girl-girl spank. I mean, she was with her hands, just spanking with her hands. and it was good and so yeah it was a good night it was it was fun we could do that again that'd be good we can do that again that again i needed that for sure it had been a minute since i'd played san antonio i got my period and i didn't get to play and so it'd been a minute since we've really i've played with anyone else so it was fun it was it was a good time it was hot hey beautiful if you're looking to feel confident and sexy voluptuous fixin has got you covered with stunning lingerie and outfits that fit every curve And for our listeners, you can snag 10% off your order with code HOTCOUPLENGA at checkout.

And it was funny because before I went from the first room to the second room, I had to pass next to our room. So I had my shoes and all my stuff I had from the party still. And I ran into the room and everyone was in there and I said, I'm going to go do swinger shit. And I skipped out the room. And so that was a joke all weekend long. I was so excited to get to go do swinger shit and I was going to be a swinger. And so I went over to the second room and yeah, it was like 4 or 5 a.m. I don't even know the norm. I knew we had to get up the next day. So I dismissed myself once it was time. I was like, it's a little too late. They were still going. I can't keep up with that crew. Sometimes it's hard. So I was a good girl and I got my stuff and I got my jammies on and I went to bed and woke up at like nine the next day and felt really good. I was just really tired, but it felt great otherwise, thankfully, because we had to immediately pack up. Checkout was supposed to be 11. Luckily, again, our friend Kelsey, she got us all late checkouts and we... Let's be honest. Buying Cannabis shouldn't be complicated, sketchy, or low quality.

That's M-O-O-D dot com to get started. Still had to pack up the entire club and do everything from the night before, so we stayed and packed up and hung out and said goodbye. and got everything put in the car. And by then it was like 1.30 or so. And then we had a 40 minute drive to Rob and Lindsay's house. You know, Sundays are the worst. Sundays look so bad. Luckily, when I'm by myself, I usually bring as minimal as I possibly can. So I don't take up any space. So it took me five minutes to pack my stuff up. I don't have all the lights and the banners and the candle, all that stuff. So I just had to zip my bag. So I was able to go say goodbye to a lot of people. and help out and tear down and put the club back together and, you know, do all the fun behind the scenes stuff. Everyone thinks it just appears and then just disappears. It's not the case. There's a huge team of amazing, wonderful people who get up early the next day and get there early the day before and work their butts off and lift and carry and don't feel great and do it like a bunch of champs. And we appreciate every single one of you. We are not even a direct part of the team or anything, but it's, I really do. Every time I try and go anywhere, what do you need? What do you want me to do? Give me a task. I like to help. I like to be there to, they said I was very good emotional support as well this weekend. So that makes my heart happy. That's my favorite job of all the jobs. That's where I like to thrive at. But yeah, and then it was like, yeah, it was like 1.30 before we rolled out of there, something like that. And then we had a 45 minute drive and then got there and I immediately was like, Love you, bye. Because we are headed to Secrets in a week. At that point, it was a week from then. And so I was like, let's do this again in a week. For a week. And it was getting late. I knew I had to get home. The kids had school the next day. We had to figure out food. All the fun parts of another life. Because you got home right as I was waking up for work. I was already excited. It's a three and a half hour drive with two separate accidents. So yeah, it's like a whole day of trying to to get back home and nighttime and getting the baths and the kids in school and getting everything unpacked and stuff so yeah that was enchanted after dark it was an absolutely amazing fun time always i love pad parties are just something special something different if you're just joining this lifestyle it's very newbie friendly space it's more meet and greet style parties themselves when it comes to pad are very like spicy vanilla i guess yeah it's not Not like a whole takeover or an event or secrets or something like that. We have to get on to a few people for like taking their top off or having their booties out or doing something a little more than Vanellas would normally do. But other than that, it looks like a regular. Nobody would know it was a swinger party at all. I mean, people make out with each other here and there. You see people making out and getting close and dancing and, you know, but it's a good way to dip your toe into a swinger event without it being really hardcore swinger event. And you can make it whatever you want it to be. You could come for a few hours, get food, kind of make it a date thing if you wanted to. Or you can party all night and make it a swing or event and have an after party and do all of that stuff. But it's really good. If you're new, if you're looking for some place to test the waters, to just meet people, 100% recommend Panels After Dark group parties. They know how to do a good party. It's a fun time. They have the 360. It's cute. Their venues are always really good. Good food, good drinks, good stuff. Good stuff. It was a good hotel. Really a great time overall. And I know they're trying to keep stepping it up every single time. Yeah, we don't know when the next planet. They haven't announced one yet. Yeah, they'll be announced. You'll know. Once we get the information, you'll be the first to know. Yeah. We're always here to support them. We love them. It's just a really great group of people. Good humans. Hot people, too. Man. Yeah, it's a good looking group. That crew this weekend. Everywhere I looked, just... inside and out. Just beautiful people. Yeah, it's a good looking group. And such a fun, carefree, super awesome group of people. I could go on forever, but thank you to everyone that puts a party on, that works very hard. We love you. We appreciate what you're doing in this space. It's so important to have these places and these communities. If it wasn't for that, we wouldn't be doing any of this. So we appreciate all the money and the time and the work. We know, we understand. We've been very lucky to be behind the scenes to a lot of events and a lot of takeovers and a lot of groups. So we see, we know how hard it is. It's not easy. So it's a big deal to have 300 humans coming at you full speed. We get it. We understand. So we appreciate and love you guys so much. So happy to be a part. And they just let us tag along. And they always are just so kind to us. And let us just be a part of it and be there and help. And thank you. Love you guys. But yeah, that pretty much was Pino's After Dark Party. And now we are full speed ahead to Secrets. Yeah, from this recording right now, we are like five days away. Yeah, from heading down, we are hoping for better temperatures. I need some warm weather in Florida, please. Some sun would be great. So I'll take this weird, dreary, cold weather right now, as long as next week is hot. But yeah, we head out Sunday. I'm heading down with Lindsay and Rob. He has to work the weekends, as you know. So he's going to get off Monday morning and then And then he'll be there for Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Then he'll head out Friday morning because he has to work. Lame. The weekend. Lame. But we are very grateful that you get to be there at all. And so he gets to be there for a big chunk of it, all but a couple days of it. He gets to enjoy Secrets on the weekday. All but the weekend. But I don't know. I love the weekdays, though. Yeah, that's very chill. The weekdays is a different experience. And you're going to have the weekday experience of Secrets, which is some of my favorite. time. So you still get a good... And it's an eye candy party, which really starts on a Thursday. They come in early. So it'll be like Wednesday, Thursday. And then you'll get to at least have the room crawl and costumes and get a whole party. And it'll be fun. So I'm very grateful that you get to be there. It's going to be so much fun. We have nude beach plans in there. Hopefully it warms up enough. It's going to be like... So far, 75 is like the warmest day during the day. So we'll see how... the humidity is. We'll see how it feels and we'll decide what we're doing. I don't know. It feels very cold for me for Florida. I think it's going to be a lot like when I went in March. A lot of sweatpants, sweatshirts. We actually had talked about getting just themed sweatshirts that say whatever the theme is and just being done with it because I don't do cold. You guys know I don't do cold so I probably won't be seeing me in no string bikinis. I don't know. We'll see. I'm just a baby. We're going to manifest hot weather for the weekend. Right now you can only We'll see seven days out, so we'll see. We'll see. But it's going to be fun no matter what. It's secrets. It's always fun. There's hot tubs. There's fires now. There's other things to do now. And for once, the club won't be too hot. It'll be great. We're going to have a good time. It's a balance. I'm excited. Yes, but that'll be for iCandy. They're almost sold out because they're not yet. They still have a room. So if you hear this and you want to come join us spontaneously, hit up iCandy. We love iCandy. Come get a room with us. I can put a website down in the show notes. Yeah, we I love them. They throw an amazing party. This will be my third eye candy Seekers Takeover. So I like them a lot. I like them. And eye candy. I'm so excited to get another case of eye candy energy because it's my favorite energy drink ever. Not even kidding. Love them so much. I'm a cotton candy whore. I love cotton candy. So it's right on my alley. And yeah, I'm excited to see our friends. We have lots of our friends we get to spend more time with. That's my favorite thing about Seekers is the amount of extended time you get to spend with them. It feels like you have more time with people when you're there for the weekend. So we've got really good friends. We have conjoined rooms with friends. It's going to be a whole corner of fun. A group of us are coming and it's going to be a good time. And I get to have you there for the weekday and then Thursday night for iCandy. So yeah, that's the plans. That's what we've got going on. And then we're home and straight back to Florida pretty much right after that for Thanksgiving. We're spending Thanksgiving in Captiva. and it better be hot. Say it's South Florida. It should be warm. I was convinced it was going to be and it will be ocean time. So I'm so excited to be our first destination holiday ever. And all our kids and everyone's going down. We're going down with Rob and Lindsay and their family and we're doing a whole giant big get together. And I am so pumped. So yeah, that's kind of our plans. And so far, I'm sure we'll have something sneak in for New Year's Christmas. There'll be more plans, but it is going to get a little bit slower. It's winter, and so we're going to take a little bit of break for Thanksgiving and Christmas and holiday and family, and it's just cold. Yeah. And I don't want to be out. Period. So, yeah, and that's the end of the year already almost. Yeah. It's coming quick. Hey, only a few more episodes left this season, and then... That's it. Next episode, we are going to be talking about the second half of... our Libertine event adventure in San Antonio. This timing just was weird and we had to split them up and kind of a little cliffhanger. So yeah, look for that next week. And then the week after that, we will tell you all about Secrets. That'll be our final episode of the year and the season. And you'll hear all about the adventures that we do get into. Yeah, another quick turnaround that week. Yeah, we're going to record, edit and pop it out. I want to say goodbye to you in real time. We really, really wanted to. to make sure that last episode was in real time. And we really wanted to actually say goodbye to you this season. Last season kind of ended. Real fast, abruptly. Last season, we just, everything scheduling-wise, it was just throwing episodes in there. But we really wanted to say goodbye in real time. Before we leave you guys for a little bit and take some time away, it'll be a well-needed little break. Love you guys, but this podcast. It's a lot. For one, it's a lot of work. It's a ton of work. And it's squeezing it in between real work and real life and real everything else. And so it takes a lot of finagling there. But then it also is starting to... People don't love that I have a voice and that we have opinions. And I'm not just a pretty face that smiles on TikTok. I actually have anxiety. I actually have opinions. I actually care. And I don't care about things. And I have, you know... You're a person? No way. People aren't loving that I'm not perfect anymore. of who I was before I opened my mouth. And so it's been a lot of backlash, a lot of people trying to pick us apart and pick everything we say apart. We're not perfect. Never said we were. We are just normal, regular people who mess up, say stupid things, make inappropriate jokes all the time, get in trouble a lot for that. We 100% are ourselves and very, very proud of that. What you see is what you get and we don't have filters and we're not perfect and we're going to mess up. And we've told you that since day one. don't expect perfectionist because you're going to be disappointed but we love you guys with all of our hearts and we have a heart and soul that you're not going to find anywhere else and i'll stand by that and i hope that you know that and you know that we love you always and yeah we can't wait to see where this leads but it'll be nice to have a couple weeks just yeah it's a couple some time just to have some time it is it is a nice little break it's refreshing and we always come back reinvigorating yeah and with ideas and yes all the And when we're not doing this podcast, it's not like we put it away and don't think about it. We are planning and filming and recording and brainstorming and having discussions with people and trying to always make it bigger and better. And we're always trying to upgrade our equipment and work on that. Yeah. Getting it to be perfect for you guys. And so we're not going anywhere. We're still going to be there every day on social media. I'll be around and stuff. But we're going to take a little break for a little bit. Just a little bit. I'm not going to feel bad about it either. We need it. But yes, as always, though. It's not that serious. Don't make it weird. We love you guys. Bye. Let's be honest.
