Happy Wednesday. We finally made it to a Wednesday together. I know. Here I am. I'm back again. Finally. Feels so good. I am exhausted, though. I bet you are. My body's, like, done. Yeah. Those have been a long, like, four weeks, for the most part. The longest month of my life, pretty much. And I am so happy to be back. I am... Ready. I mean, I'm only home for like nine days and then I'm going back to Florida. We're going back to Florida. Well, at least we're going together this time.
But yeah, and it's for fun and it's not, I don't have to worry about constantly missing my grandchild being born all the time. Like I have for the last month or so. So it's, it feels good. My anxiety is so much better now that they're home and everything's good and I'm home and I'm back with you. Finally. Exactly. I've missed you. Finally, but we have secrets coming up in nine days. And so we have decided that this episode is going to be all about secrets.
All the things, all the inside scoop, all the details, all the information that you could ever want for your first trip to Secrets Hideaway because we have been quite a few times now. Yeah, I don't even know what number of time this is, but we've been quite a few. Eight or so. It's been a lot of times. We've been going once or twice a year for the last like four years. Three or four for me. But yeah, we've been going pretty regularly for quite a few years now. And we love it there. And we're headed back. And I know a lot of our friends are going for the first time.
We have a group of people that are going with us for the first time ever. I'm pretty excited. So excited to show them one of our favorite places. We love. We are lucky enough. It's not too close to us. but it's close enough. If we spend all of our free time there, it feels close. My sister is, she lives about four hours south and then we usually stop there or my daughter's house. She's also there. And then it's only another like hour 45, two hours to secrets. It's in Kissimmee, Florida. Kissimmee, people argue which one it is. I don't know. I say Kissimmee. I say Kissimmee.
Because it's how it's spelled. I don't know. There's some argument there, but Yeah, it's in Kissimmee, Florida. And it's an old Ramada. Let's be. Yeah, let's. Let's be honest. Not for canned. It is what it isn't. Yes. And as long as you understand that, you're going to be okay. It's an old motel that they've renovated. Yeah. Yeah. And it's privately owned condos. So it's two stories, condos, and I forget how many rooms. 230 or something like that. There's a lot. There's quite a few. Yeah. Each one is privately owned. So every single room is different. So you never know.
You don't get the same thing for two rooms. Secrets is basically three separate businesses in one property. It's the resort. It's the condos and the real estate. And it's the club. So they have a whole real estate side of it where they sell these condos.
to people and they it's they're pretty pricey to buy we've looked into it it's a perk though man but there's obvious perks when you as an owner at secrets but we would love to one day yeah goal one day goal but yeah and so each of them have a different theme so they're really cool there is different there's different categories there's just your standard room and they're more just like a like a hotel room it's just got yeah they have like Like a single king or a single queen. Or double queen, I should say. Like standard room. And then you have your fantasy suites, which are like the themes.
Yeah. So they have like 007. And there's a Tiki Bar one. And there's anime. There's a Batman and Joker one. There's the Fire and Ice one. Yeah, that one's pretty cool too. Yeah, there's so many different. So many different. room. They do a good job of making their rooms unique. Yeah. And then there's also ones that are clean and it's not really a theme. It's just sexy. It's nice. Yeah. A lot of like whites, a lot of rooms that are just like white, white or black. And yeah, they have like your swings in it or they have BDSM themed. And most all of them have a kitchenette.
They all have sinks and a fridge of some sort. Some rooms have a full size fridge. Those are our personal personal favorite rooms. We need fridge space because we bring a lot of food and drinks and things because we host a lot of things. A full-size fridge is a plus for us. So we always like the rooms with a big fridge. That's why we like our 161 so much because it has a full-size fridge and freezer, which is sweet. And then you'll find the ones that we try to try different ones every time we go. But we do have particular ones that we do love more.
We have first picks that if it's available, we go there. Yeah. But the problem is, is every time we get a room that we like and we, we show out, like we decorate it, we bring our own lights and we host parties in our room and luncheons and free drinks and food. And we invite everybody and we make it look amazing. And then the next time we go, somebody grabs it before we get a chance. Every time. Every time. We haven't been able to get 161 in two years because we sold that location and that room so hard. So ever since it's been hard to get.
I think that was one of my favorites just because of the location. Yeah. It was all the location was perfect. That's my favorite part about it. And I do like the shower too. The shower is my second favorite part of it. Yeah, the shower is. It has a really good shower, but it has a really good window right in the corner. So everybody passes by if you like that sort of thing. And we do. Yeah. So this year we're staying at 141, which is, it looks really nice. It looks really like, it's like clean. Yeah. It's one of those sexy, like it's not really themed, but it's real nice.
And it has a nice shower. It's like an eight person shower head or something like that. So I'm excited. A lot of them have big walk-in showers for multiple people, which is fun. And then you pay a little bit more for the interior rooms because those are the prime spot. So you can get to the party faster. So when people, People ask me about tips on secrets. I tell them, well, it's all about what you want. If you want a quiet place to unwind, get an exterior room. If you want to be in the party, don't mind a little bit of noise at night because it will be noisy. It will be noisy.
And the DJ starts at like 10 a.m. every day. And goes until like 3 in the morning.
So if you don't mind that and you want to be part of the you know in the party in the craziness get an interior room and the views are better i mean you can actually you can see out your window and see everybody and it's a good time that's the key part and we do we do usually get an interior last year we got an exterior and it is much quieter it is quieter and it is easier to go sneak away and take a naps and stuff during the day because during the day it is very loud all day yeah so i mean again yeah it's just what you prefer and if you what you like because the only downside to the room that we have this time is it's a little bit farther away from the DJ stand but it's the whole opposite corner from the entrance yeah so we have to walk the whole way around there's only one entrance to the pool area and it's towards the front of the resort and there's a black fence that goes all the way around like the pool area the tiki area And for us, it takes average.
I timed it quite a few times, like 45 minutes for us to get around because we were stopped every like two. Yeah. It's because we run into people and we get distracted. And so just running to the room real quick is never running to the room real quick. It's always like an hour process every single time. With Swingers Siding anyway. That's like, that's the. Because we know so many people there that they'll be in the room like, hey, come get a drink. drink or this. So we get pulled into the rooms. We hang out. We drink. A lot of times we're like, oh, we ordered a giant pizza. Do you want a pizza?
You know, I'm not complaining. Yeah. But yeah, that's pretty much the rundown on the room. You book it just like any other hotel. They have their website. And usually there's a takeover. There'll be a direct booking page with all the rooms on them and stuff like that. But you can easily Google every room and see pictures and the themes and what is included. Most of them have a microwave. A lot of them have like coffee makers. One we had with a crock pot in it one time. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Blender like you have random. You never know what you're getting. Some of them have toasters.
Most of them have dishes and like enough. Yeah. Silverware and stuff to eat knives and all the things you could possibly need. It's kind of like an Airbnb. A little bit. A little bit. You're listening to a podcast right now. Driving, working out, walking the dog. If you're into podcasts, chances are you have something to say, too. With RSS.com. Starting your own is free and easy.

Start free at rss.com....that have certain utensils you need and things that you need and tools. It's a little bit like a home design. Yeah. Like it's a hotel room, but also there are a little extra things like silverware, a curing. Yeah. Yeah. You'll get like K-cups and stuff and they'll have like whole drawers. You just never know what you're going to get. So definitely like Google is good for that. I always Google. I candy always pops up with the better pictures and the description.
So I always go through it. Also sold out for like an event in 2001 or something like that. But it's like I go through and they have the best. descriptions and all the pictures. So I go through there and it'll tell you what it comes with and how many people it fits. And on Secrets website, there's a map where you can see where the room is located to the resort. And there is a map on there that you can zoom in and virtually walk around and see the room and go in and out and stuff, which is nice. But yeah, it'll tell you everything you need on their website.
And usually whatever takeover you're going to, they have it all on the website that you book on and stuff. Looking for a fresh way to connect in the lifestyle?

And then like a typical day at Secrets is you wake up, walk outside naked, A little spring amazing feeling ever. No one cares at all.
It's always a progression for us. It is. We show up usually like if we are going to a takeover at Secrets, we usually show up a day early before the actual takeover. Like the Thursday. Like the Thursday. And then we hang out. It's usually pretty chill that. It's like some kind of meet and greet game or something like scavenger. Something to just kind of. icebreaker. Yeah. But as we, the weekend progresses, we get more comfortable and then less and less clothes are used. I don't know. This weekend, I was woke up in the morning with sweatpants and that's it.
That's, I walked out in just sweatpants just because it was cold. But I don't know. Secrets definitely makes me come out of my shell for sure. I feel safe there to not wear a top all the time, which I don't do very often. I don't know. It's such a good feeling to wake up in the morning and just not. I mean, I'm just not. I just, I'm never really comfortable walking around naked except for at Secret. Yeah. Same. Same. Not even at Trap have I ever. Like I have shirts on. I always have pants on. But Secrets is the only place I've been naked naked in public during the daytime.
I think it's all the hot, sweaty, showering. Everybody's just showering together. It's just kind of in the pool together. Secrets is the only place I've fallen asleep sleep naked in the pool chair. Yeah. You kind of like let your guard down because you live there for a few days and you just kind of let it go. But anyway, yeah, they have during the day you wake up and they do serve breakfast. They start serving breakfast in the morning. Now they do that and you can get breakfast. They have a little continental breakfast in the lobby too as well. Then they do daytime parties.
So usually around 11 noon, the DJ will start up and then they do daytime parties and they're clothing optional the whole place is clothing optional you can be naked you can walk outside naked you can wear sweatpants and sweatshirts which i did a few times this last weekend i was there and you can literally wear whatever you want so it's whatever you're feeling and then daytime party lasts pretty much all day long they do games and yeah pool games and it's really as long as you want it to be oh yeah because everybody's outside having a great time until Yeah. Like the club opens up. Yeah.
And that's usually around eight. So they do on usually Thursdays or Fridays, they'll do room crawls if you're there with a takeover and you can kind of, those are my favorite, our favorites. After the daytime parties, we kind of go back to our room. We're always hosting a room crawl, so we never get to chill. But a lot of people around four or five o'clock start, I'd say like three to five, they all start going back from the pool and everybody like takes a shower, takes a nap, gets something to eat. Eats.
And we always have to skip that because we're always too busy getting ready for the room calls on Fridays. But on Friday nights or Thursday nights, depending, they do room crawls and you go around and people will hand out shots. They'll hand out water. They'll hand out snacks and cupcakes. You'll get just random stickers, goodie bags. When we started doing room crawls, it was just people coming to the rooms where now people are like putting themes into the rooms during the room crawls. That's fun.
So, like, I've seen, like, again, Fire and Ice, where they'll have, like, Goldschlager shots and Fireball shots. And they always have, like, a voting process trying to win some kind of prize. And then you get, like, a goodie bag. You leave with something, and then you go to the next room, and you kind of bounce around. Just about every room has a goodie bag. Yeah. We do stickers, and we've done, like, bottle openers. We've done... Keychains. We've done all sorts of different kind of like gifts. We've done different like stress balls, carnival stress balls and necklaces.
We always try to do something like that. Yeah. We do candy in there and our cards and stickers and whatever, discount code, whatever we've got. We put it in there and give it all away. And then we usually do some type of food. So you try to definitely eat, pace yourself. If you're going to a room call, that's where you'll get in the most trouble. It's a lot of shots quickly. Very fast because you don't realize, yeah, it catches up to you quickly. And it's usually at the end of a long day in the pool. So make sure you grab those waters that they do. You'll get rooms to hand those out.
Definitely. Definitely chug that sucker because that's why we always tried to make our drink be like an electrolyte drink and a water drink because we wanted people to hydrate enough a little bit. And we tried to help any way we could because people are struggling by the time they get Well, that's how the margaritas and pizza started. Yeah, because I just wanted people to eat something. Yeah, we just need carbs. We need to carve people up. Yeah, that's how that started. Because we just were like, people were not okay. And everybody was first starting going.
So everybody was so excited and just shot. It was dangerous. So we got pizza in our room and just pulled everybody into our room to eat as a whole. And it's always a good idea. Make sure that you're drinking water. Make sure that you're pacing yourself. Make sure you realize how many shots you've just taken. Keep track of that because nobody wants to feel like that. Nobody wants to pass out by 9 o'clock and miss everything. It happens to somebody every time. It does. It happens quite often. But make sure you're pacing yourself. And room crawls are fun.
And then, yeah, like we said, 8 o'clock-ish is usually when the party starts. And most parties, takeovers and stuff, have a 360 camera outside and a whole bunch of photo opportunities. you'll go into the club. So I know with Swingers Society, they always have that night themed as a backdrop and then they have the 360. Yeah. And then at I Can't Eat, they had girls on stilts and stuff. Like they have like entertainment going in and stuff. And then once you get in there, it's packed. They need a bigger club. Yeah. One thing they do need is a bigger club because it is insane.
When we were there this weekend, we got in the door and it was so packed.
We couldn't even find the space beyond inside the door it was insane so it's it's loud too it's loud and it's hot and there's a lot of people so I feel there's a lot of times we're in there I like I need to go outside because not because it's like I'm too hot I just start feeling claustrophobic after a minute people and then they have that fog machine yes that literally while it's on you can't see anything and I just and it's also get that claustrophobic feeling and I can go outside for a few minutes Yeah, we didn't make it much beyond the door, and then we were there maybe five, ten minutes.
The tops, and that was the only time we had stepped foot in it this past weekend. But it's fun. It's fun if you, like, I like to go in there when I'm feeling dancey, and I want to dance and stuff. I love dancing, so I do like to try and get in there, but, like, this past weekend, I couldn't even move. I couldn't even get to anywhere to dance, and there was no room to dance, so I didn't get to dance this weekend, but. We had fun. We had hot tap time. But then, yes, normally we get too hot or too loud or too overwhelmed or whatever. And we don't last in there too long most times.
Because then we go out and that's why we always put our costumes on. They always have a theme of some sort at the party and you'll have a theme. And then I just stopped putting as much effort into Secret's costumes as I do with the rest of them because they last maybe an hour. Maybe. Yeah. It's always very disposable. We always spend an hour or two in the club. It's like, all right. Then we get like a small group and we end up back at the pool. And that's what doing all the videos and the pictures and the 360s and all that stuff. Maybe an hour.
And yeah, normally we're like, nah, we're going to go and get in the hot tub or get in the pool and we're done. We're good. And yeah, so we don't put much thought into our costumes anymore. It's just not a thing. Most of it is make sure that it's light and flowy. We try to be comfortable. Secrets is like very much vacation mode vibe. It is. So, wear stuff that's light. Yeah. Not hot. Easy to take off. Yeah. Easy to take off. Like, the less the better. ACs and some, it depends on the theme. I'll say, I just ordered my costume for the pirate theme. Yeah.
And that's going to be the most clothes I've ever worn at Secrets. Oh, not me. Man. I don't know how I'm doing that. I was supposed to like, the costume to finish it was where like boots or something. I'm like, I'm wearing flip-flops. That's more pirate-y than boots. You know, pirates love their flip-flops. Heck yeah. Pirates and their flip-flops. Yeah, there's usually a theme of some sort and you do, you know, you do your little swinger thing and show up and do all that. But yeah, it's much more fun and pull in the hot tub depending on what season it was called this weekend.
I think when we go... in nine days that I feel like it's going to warm up some. I do because it was down like 45, 49 degrees. I feel like it's been unseasonably cold this year. We were all about sweatpants and sweatshirts as soon as we possibly could and we did hot tub but there was no Oh, I am for sure No swimming. I am for sure making sure I'm taking sweatpants this time. Oh yeah. A hoodie or two and my fluffy pineapple pull rope. It was still cold this past week. I don't know. I'm hoping in the next nine days it warms up, but I'm not too optimistic.
I'm preparing myself to be cold again because it's at 80s, but... You're listening to a podcast right now. Driving, working out, walking the dog.

Man, at nighttime, it got freezing cold, and I was numb. It was so cold still. They do have hot tubs. They have two hot tubs there, and then they just have a new app.
tiki bar section which is really cool it has a dance floor and like a dj booth area and then it has another bar and some seating and tables and next to that my favorite part is the fire pits there's three fire pits with a ton of chairs around them then they have a couple pool tables all that you know table tennis all of that little bags and stuff like that they have a little courtyard type thing but that's a nice addition and then they moved the chair the big chair the infamous chair over there so it's a lot easier to get pictures because there's not people's bedrooms a couple years it's been weird to get pictures because it's always been like next to construction zones yeah and there's those rooms right there i just never liked where it was sitting before like it was always and it showed the hallway with people's bedrooms and you had to be careful and plus it was right in the courtyard so you had to worry about just taking pictures in front of everybody in the pool and stuff.
So I like where it's at now. But yeah, and that's kind of the schedule. I mean, depends on if there's a takeover. It really depends on a few things, but definitely go on the website and see what's going on. And they'll have the schedule on Secrets website with all the day party themes and what kind is going on in the games and stuff. Hey there, listeners. Are you looking to prioritize your sexual health and wellness? We've got just a thing for you.
Shameless Care offers at-home testing kits, telehealth consultations, and even treatment for ED and performance exercises So, Other than the pool, there's in the club, there's also playroom and a dungeon. We've never been in the playroom. Not once. We have not been in the playrooms. For one, for me personally, you have to get naked to go in and I don't really love that. And then for two, the entire place is a playroom. You can play anywhere you want and everyone has a bed.
available in a room so it's like you know we just never we just never have went back there and last time we were like we're going into the playroom this time we are we have to we have so many new people we're gonna go in there and take a tour with them because we've never been in the playrooms but yeah you have to be nude and it's just not my 100% my jam yeah you like being naked at your own pace yeah you don't like being told I think we have to be told to get naked.
It's not the fact that because we just talked about how like oh it's like I love being naked to Seekers but don't tell me I have to be naked. Usually it changes. It changes everything. They have the dungeon we have been to and it's my personally my favorite dungeon I've ever been to. I love it in there. That's like okay if we need to go in there too. Yeah they have a lot of different like obviously just any just about any other dungeon they got St. Andrew's Cross They have a bed with a stock at the footboard.
They have massage tables and stuff to do like electro stem, wax play, stuff like that. They have all their own toys that you can try out there. And they're all sanitized. There's sanitizer right there. And they have all the tools you can need. It's good sized. Yeah. It's a lot of people, but they have a lot of different areas in it. It's my favorite. My personal favorite. But yeah, and then as you go out into the courtyard, there's the pools. There's two, there's a little pool and there's the new brand new pool, which is so nice. It's changed everything with the DJ booth over there. Yeah.
I still am amazed on how little that old pool is. I know. I can't believe we used to cram every person in that pool. We were talking about that. I was talking about that with somebody. Everybody was in that pool before they got the new one, which is enormous. I look at this old pool that's still there. We call it the conversation pool now. And that big pool Saturday, there was no... You couldn't even get in the pool. There was no room to move. I have no idea how we did secrets. I don't know. I have no idea. I don't know. We were sitting there talking about that this weekend.
I was like, Totally different. Totally different place now that they added that pool. I mean, the whole place is just so many changes. Yeah. Just since the four years we started, since we started going, that place has changed a ton. They got new doors with new key pads. Oh, do they have new key pads? That was always a hassle. Yeah, they're starting. And now you can order food to your room. You just scan it. Oh, really? Nice. Yeah, but speaking of that, they have the Tiki Bar out there and you can order food. pretty much all day long they have food and it's good food. Chicken Caesar wraps.
That's where it's at. When you go get the chicken Caesar wraps. That's our go-to. I repel everybody to eat the chicken Caesar wraps. I did have pizza this weekend. Barbecue chicken pizza was good. I mean all of the food we've ever had there. I've never had that dude there. I've heard people talk trash about it. Yeah. But I personally have never had anything bad there. They've really revamped the whole food part of Secrets.
over the last year or two they've really come a long way and now they do breakfast and stuff so it's really nice and you can like I said in your room you'll have a little barcode thing QR code that you can scan on your phone and it they'll bring it right to your room and nice yeah it's really nice saves a lot of standing at the bar well last time I went I used the because I had the kiosk yeah they do have kiosk now that's nice they're coming they're getting there that's what I used the last time the room service type deal thing that's night pretty awesome yeah it's a really good addition for sure and then yeah you can order food up there and obviously drinks and all of that and that pretty much is secrets like the property of secrets they have a little store there's a little gift store if you forget anything or need anything and then parking they only let you have one car in the parking lot now so they which as they should because there's not a parking yeah that is the parking is always been a pain secrets it's one plus to having a room on the outside is you get to park your car well the idea is you get to park your car at your room and unload and load and everything there but like this weekend you can't find a parking spot near your room anyway so the whole time you're there you're just like carrying everything yeah either way that's always a hit miss there and now they have a field next door that everybody parks in and that whole entire field was full saturday it's insane how much they're growing and how big it's getting and It's crazy to watch.
It's crazy to see this little world of ours change so much in the last few years. Hey, beautiful.

But yeah, that's pretty much the property. And then I kind of want to talk about what to bring. We've been getting that question all of the time. What do we pack? What do we need?
And I'm going to tell you, the less, the better. I want to say. You don't need everything you're going to think you do. No. That's my tip. I always overpack. That's my tip. Same. We all do. Like, everybody does it. We all do it. I only end up wearing half of what we took. Most of the time you're wearing your bathing suit. And you're just wearing bathing suit. Take multiple bathing suits so you don't have to put a wet one on the next day. Yes. Yes. Lots of bathing suits and bring your own towels. I would bring your own towels.
They do have towels you can borrow, but they make you give your driver's license. Yeah. You have to give them your driver's license as collateral. So you bring the towels back. I mean, they're like the typical hotel situation where there's never enough and then they're always super thin and they're just not right. So we always bring lots of beach towels, big beach towels. And if you want a chair in the morning, you're going to have to go down in the morning and And get your chairs because they're also first come, first serve. Yeah, claim that spot before everybody else gets up.
Get your coffee and go claim a chair because that's the only way you're going to get one for the day, especially on a Saturday. Especially if you want one close to the pool. Yeah. You can find a chair. No? This last week, there was no chairs. We had to wait until about 5 p.m. to finally find a chair. Oh, really? That we could sit in until people started going to eat and stuff. So it really just depends on...
if there's a takeover or not but just make sure you pack your typical pool day beach day stuff your sun hat your sunscreen your beach bag I see it every year more than one person goes out because it's March it's going to be the first weekend in April that we're there a lot of people are coming from the Midwest where it's been cold they go out there first son of the year year and they get fried over the I make that mistake every year and I haven't done any tanning this year yet I'm ghost white you need to keep up on that lotion and that you will get a tan with sunscreen people you will get a tan just make sure we keep up with that yes yeah just your typical pool hotel vacation stuff make sure your towels you're gonna need your theme outfits and then usually just like a club and any other event or anything we all do change into lingerie or less clothing or bikini or nude or we usually dress down so bring something that you're going to want to wear in the evening so all of your bathing suits so many bathing suits any of that sunglasses hair tie all that kind of stuff make sure stuff for your lips and then you're going to want to pack water and some food you can eat there the whole time but I do suggest like snacks and They do have certain hours worth of clothes.
A case of water, yeah. Yeah, make sure you have water. We always bring... Electrolytes. Our own liquor and stuff for drinks in our room. In your room if you want to do any jello shots. Because you can't take your drinks into the pool area. I forgot that one. But you can drink in your room. You can bring your own alcohol to your room. Especially during the room crawls and stuff, a lot of people carry their cups around and are sipping on something. Yeah, make sure you have a cup. Visiting all the rooms. Yeah. Make sure you have a cup of some sort. Yeah. With room crawls and stuff or just yeah.
Visiting walking around the halls and stuff. We always take a tumbler. Just have something even like this last time I went it was just water in it and that's how I was hydrating in between the pool and all of that. Just have some tumbler and you're going to have to dump it out and show them that it's empty before you walk into the pool. Yeah. Not even ice. You're going to have to they search your bag and everything so make sure that you leave your alcohol in your bedroom but bring snacks bring food. We always bring meats and cheeses and just stuff that you can snack on.
Triscuits and wheat thins and stuff you can just grab real fast because the kitchen's not always open. There is a Wawa across the street so you can run. Like there's a yeah there's things around where you can get something to eat. We try not to leave as much as possible because you don't want to leave once you're there. Typical Orlando traffic. Yeah. If you leave that place you're not coming back until a minimum of 30 minutes later. Yeah. Even to just go across the street. Like, it takes 30 minutes to go anywhere in Orlando. Yeah. It's just, you know, part of vacation. It's a typical vacation.
If you run anywhere, it's going to take a minute. But you can leave and come back and stuff. But I just suggest snacks and water. Non-alcoholic drinks as well. Oh, yeah. 100%. Really, honestly, your costumes. And I would always pack, like, sweatpants and sweatshirts. You know, your normal clothes. Comfy clothes. Comfy clothes because you're going to want that too. And I always pack one or two just like regular vanilla outfits in case we want to go out to dinner. Yeah, a lot of times you'll have people be like, what's your dinner plans? And a lot of people do.
There's a good Mexican place across the street. There's like a steakhouse down the street too. Yeah, there's a few things. Sometimes people, you'll get invited to like a little get together dinner and stuff. Especially if you're there during the week. A lot of times that happens then. So, yeah, bring some outfits just in case you have to leave. Don't make the mistake of only bringing your swinger shit. Yeah. I have gone across the street and swinger stuff to the Wawa. And I, everybody, I got pictures with people. I'm here to fuck somebody's wife. Sure.
I had that and it's like rainbowed, like lettering, like pink and green and blues. And then I had those multicolored pineapple short like Hushy Daddy swim trunks. And I just walk in there with those in flip flops. Definitely a secrets outfit. Everybody's staring. Everybody's. I made a couple jokes with some people. One guy looked at me like secrets. I'm like yeah. Like they know it's across the street. Yeah. So yeah. Bring a couple outfits to just in case you need to leave the property. But.
For the most part, you honestly just need a bathing suit and a towel and you would be fine to be at Secrets the entire time with just that. That's all you really need. Yeah. And we highly suggest buying a band at the office if it's your first one going. Get the band. It will save your life. They have, so, it's a normal touch keypad, but they sell bracelets that are rubber that you don't have to keep your room key. They can program the bracelet to get into your room. So nice. And we can both have one. You buy them. Yeah. Everybody that's.
I think they're like 10, 15 bucks and they reprogram them every time you go. 100% worth it. So worth the money. And every, anybody who's in your room can get one so that everybody has access to the room whenever you want. Yeah. So it's really, really nice to have. Yeah. The prices are all on their website. You'll find all of that information, all the hours for everything, all the party themes, everything you need to know is Secret Sadoway's website and Google. Google, you can get some different clips.
Certain rooms have Facebook groups and Facebook pages and certain like followings and a lot of people that book pretty regularly and the owners have little Facebook pages or Instagram pages and stuff so you can get a little bit different views and more pictures. Certain rooms do have their own social media pages. The one we're staying in this time has one with a Facebook page and stuff on it. Oh, I didn't even know that. So I got some extra pictures than normal and stuff. So yeah, Google, it'll all pop up. Just put your room number and secrets hideaway and have a good time.
Secrets is so much fun. Just, you can make it as crazy and wild as you want it to be and stay up the entire time and just party. Or you can make it the most chill, relaxing vacation, whatever you want it to be. Yeah. It's again, it's what we tell everybody all the time. Exactly what you want it to be. Just like the lifestyle. It's like, It can be whatever you want it to be. I mean, granted on a takeover on a Saturday, it's a little harder to have a quiet, calm vacation. Oh, see. Everywhere. I feel like with you, you close the blinds and.
No, I mean to like have a chill, relaxing, calm vacation. Oh, yeah. And doing all that part. Yeah, that's a little. So I recommend coming, you know, Monday. Sundays are good. Sunday, Monday too. Sundays are usually. Sundays are nice because you have a good day party. It's still kind of the takeover vibe-ish. Yeah. Sunday after a takeover. Yeah. But there's a lot less people. People there. A lot less people. There's still a DJ usually. Everybody's still buzzing from the weekend. But it's still pretty relaxing. Way more relaxing than like a Friday, Saturday, even Thursday.
But you can still get in some shenanigans if you want. Yeah. Sunday's my... Sunday's our favorite day. We always recommend if you're going for a takeover, stay Sunday. That's been our biggest tip every time someone asks for a tip because it's way different vibe. Everyone is struggling and trying to get home to work on Monday and it's miserable just watching everybody like lug all their stuff to the car and we're like let's just not.
That's how we started staying Sunday is we woke up and saw everybody going past our window just looking miserable like rolling their luggage out because being it's an old Ramada it's an old motel there is no elevator. No elevator. So everybody that's on the second floor has to carry all of their shit downstairs and to their car. And there's like one or two luggage carts in the whole place. And when everybody's leaving at the same time, you can't get one. So people are carrying and rolling and all their shit. I watched a guy carry a full-sized cooler down those stairs. And it was full of stuff.
You hear the icy water sprays. sloshing around. And he had big muscles, big arms and he was struggling to get down there. I was like, uh-uh. Never. 120 pounds when they got stuff in them. You can't convince me to stay upstairs. I don't know. I know. We bring too much stuff. I tell everybody that. I'm like, I always recommend the first floor. I'm like, just because, like, there are some really cool rooms upstairs. There is. There are some nice ones. But, caring. I know. We bring so much stuff. It'd be different if we didn't take as much. Yeah.
If it was just me and you going for a quiet like yeah that'd be different if we just had a couple bags yeah like even like four like suitcases would be no big we bring our van because we pack the entire van full of stuff we bring too much stuff so we I can't imagine carrying all that stuff upstairs it's hard enough when you're on an interior and unloading but that's just us yeah that's just so that Sunday I just walked straight I got up walked straight to the lobby and like can I get another day in the same room. They're like, no problem.
And then we stayed that Sunday and everybody that was from out of town were like waiting for their flights and they could hang out in our room. We all went to the pool and just hung out and had a couple drinks and relaxed and then when everybody kind of dispersed with their flights or whatnot and stuff they couldn't take like their food and stuff they just put in our room. So we had like hold dinners and things. Usually, like that night's usually when we take a lot. We finally get time to take naps and we take a sweet nap and now we did the podcast last time. We got Chinese.
We usually order food. Last time was the first Sunday since we started going to secrets that I had a voice on Sunday. Every Sunday before this last time we went I had no voice. I was hoarse all of Sunday. And everyone was like, are you okay? Like, just can't talk. Secrets takes it out of you. You're like dehydrated. It takes me like a good solid week or so to find out. Yeah. We're not as young as we used to be. We don't bounce back like that. It'll take it out of you. But yeah, that pretty much sums up Secrets. That's pretty much the gist of everything. And we are so excited to come back.
We have eight days. Eight, nine days. It's coming up fast. Next Thursday. We will be there. I'm so excited. And then we are going to be doing a podcast with the motherfucking Lees. We are going to be rooming with them. We talked to them and they're coming down with us. And they'll finally be on the podcast, just them. So you'll get to know them a little bit more.
