Yeah, and and had a layover and we went and picked them up yeah and went to a restaurant we hung out with them not even and the funny thing and the funny thing is during covid we had no toilet paper in new jersey but in wyoming they still had toilet paper so they shipped us like like a six pack or eight no it was bigger than that it was like a 24 pack crazy wait so the paper what happened you know what good friends do so what happened you walk in the wipe so you guys walked into the door of our house they had sent a gift Oh, we had a present.

We flew into JFK, and then we're up here at your place. And then you came to New Jersey, and then we went out to the Hamptons. Yeah, for a great party in the Hamptons. Yeah, which was super fun. I know. I had to take my cowboy boots off to go to New York. Well, yeah. Yeah, right. Yeah. They're proud of that. Yeah. So they're swinging around the world, and their journey continues. After our stop, they're going to go see several other friends. That's right. Yeah. Yeah. Down to Delaware and down to Virginia. Yeah. Just super cool. However, four days ago, we all went to the Hamptons. Yeah.
Oh, yeah. Long Island. Right. And went to a big party. Great weekend. Yeah. With a whole bunch of people. Met new people. 11 people. We had stayed in the house. Yeah. And Airbnb. And then went to this big party. We got some new friends. Yeah. Yeah. It was fantastic. And then we're back here. And that's the, I think, what's the really cool thing is that wherever you live, it doesn't matter, but lifestyle people kind of trust each other.
the trust is amazing and it's like an instant connection you know regardless of where you live yeah you know there's this comfort i think we discussed earlier that um we meet lifestyle people and there is that level of trust that we say come to australia come and visit us. In fact, come and stay with us. Right. And we've even said to a lot of lifestyle people, hey, if we're not home, you can have the keys to our house. Right. I don't know if I would do that outside the lifestyle, but definitely within the lifestyle, there's that level of trust there. And we were supposed to go when COVID hit.
We were supposed to go. But we're going now. We discussed it, babe.
discussed it babe we know we postponed it and we're gonna do it with a bunch of people we're doing the week sundays we're sailing around yeah we're gonna yeah because you guys can sail yeah so we're gonna get it like a nice 55 foot boat i hope so and sail the island yeah that'd be great yeah but where i was going with that basically is in normal life you meet new people and you don't have that instant connection or that comfort level and i think like for me you know jr is in a band this is the example okay jr is in a band and we go and there's all these vanilla girls that are you know ooo oohing, oohing over him.
Why not? Right? Oh, stop. Oh, stop. But you know what? I don't trust them. You know, it's like, I'm not going to share my man with a vanilla girl, as opposed to when I'm in a lifestyle situation. I so want to share him, I so trust. Well, it's not just you want to share. You want to see the person that you love be happy. Right. Oh, and we talk about that all the time. Yeah, yeah, that's the compersion thing. That's compersion. Yeah. That's compersion. Well, I'm with the love of my life here. And I would go home with her after every play date or every meeting we have, we'd go home together.
And there's a trust there. There's a lot of factors. Like when you're a lifestyle person, number one, you have a high emotional intelligence. You like yourself. You understand yourself. And it's easier to share. Yeah. you know you like yourself you understand yourself and it's easier to share yeah you know absolutely oh wait so here here i'm just going to interrupt for a minute so when we told sophie and andy that we were going to do the podcast she said are we going to do it naked and jr said no no no. That would be too distractive. But here we go. I was suggesting lingerie.
No, she just got naked. We're in the studio. And he's not going to be able to talk anymore. And Andy's getting naked as well. Oh, my God. We may have to get naked. I don't know. I'm not sure what the story is. Here, I'll go topless.
That's not too bad bad and that's what i love about the lifestyle you're not naked yeah well i can be yeah yeah i can't even then he has to stop you don't have to be ken and barbie am i a lucky man right you don't have to be ken and barbie and that's the big movie that's on at the moment oh but you have to learn to love yourself yeah and and be confident because we're all individual we're all different shapes and sizes and and i know when i started out in the lifestyle i was very self-conscious yeah right and now no that's not you now oh my god you're the you're the ornery one you get it started i'm not i'm no barbie but oh no she's pretty close to barbie i'm a brunette yeah so we were at this this lifestyle party in the hamptons naked too yeah yeah right okay so we're all making now we're at this lifestyle party just now in the hamptons right exactly and they have what's called a shadow box right so it's the thing well because you know this is how sophie and andy are so the party's like just getting started and no one's really playing yet so sophie and andy uh grab our single girlfriend l and they go into the shadow box right to get things started yeah yeah and so andy's standing there in the shadow box and sophie's giving him a blowjob and then the next thing you know our single girl l is giving and could you can't see their faces it's a shadow box but it's just the image right which is very sexy you know and it was like you guys are fun and you know brave like somebody has to go on the dance floor first yeah to get it started it was a good dance and then it was a good dance and then the next thing you know, you've got Andy, fucking Elle, and Sophie is, like, in there, too.
Yeah, well, she needed support, so I said, here, lean on my shoulders. Oh, yeah, okay, right. So I had to help out a friend. Exactly. It was a nice threesome moment. I have the best wife and the best friends. And so that really, for some reason, did not get the party started. There was not. Yeah, it was interesting. Yeah, it was okay. But anyway. Yeah, in any case, I think one of the really cool conversations that we had, we were talking about a lifestyle club in Australia that you went to. And you went there early and you met this other couple. Tell us the story about them waving. Okay.
And then the car drive. It was our first visit to this club. And we walked in and it was pretty dark. And as we walked in, in we could just see down the back there's this couple sitting down waving like crazy at us i couldn't see who they were i don't my eyesight in the distance is not good i said to sophie i said there's a couple over there waving at us i said who are they she goes i don't know i said well let's go and just drop our drinks off at the bar we'll get a drink we'll go over and chat to them. So we put our drinks down. They're still waving. They're still waving.
So we wander over, and I still didn't know who they were. We greeted. We started chatting. I said, hey, guys. I said, look, got to be honest, where do we know each other from? Yeah, do we know you? Do we know you?
And they said, no, we don't know you, but you're the first two they they just like the look of us exactly they were like oh yeah you guys are hot and so they just wanted to get to know us and we started chatting and they're a lovely couple and we got on really well so we had a few drinks chatted for a while and we sort of hit them up or they hit us up I can't remember and we decided that we might we should go have a play but I said look we're not far from our place right 20 minutes away half an hour away I said we'll go back to our place we'll jump in the hot tub and have a bit of fun and if it's still good we have a play now now they're going to ride in the car with you now yes in the two-door car right with the tiny back seat oh a coupe yeah yeah hey the bmw little tiny thing yeah so they had no transport i said well we can all fit in our car let's go so off we go not very well they jump in the back and it's a little tiny seat so they're crammed in there we're in the front i'm driving and we're driving to our place and on the way to our place we go through a bit of a what we call a bush what we call the bush and it's like it so the bush is dark forest it's a forest it's dark there's no lights and it's only goes for about 15 20 minutes and as we're driving along this road i'm thinking to myself about these two in the back who we hardly know we've only met them for an hour they're sitting in the back with people that don't really know either thinking hey we could be out here with two mass murderers or and we could they're not dead or we could get laid let's just see how this goes so is it dead or laid good choices i guess i'm not sure okay all right fine what are the things we do for sakes right wait and it worked out it did we had a fun night yes we had a fun yeah you're still here we're still here they're still here exactly and funny enough we're now friends on facebook oh they still comment on things and yeah yeah it's fun yes we want to talk about something that came up on our car ride back from the hamptons to here in new jersey you were talking about finding your voice yeah oh yeah we thought that was very very interesting and maybe good for the audience to hear about.
Helpful. Women who are not really hearing or feeling. Well, how to say no? Expressing themselves. Expressing themselves. Right, yeah. To say what you want. Yeah. So one of our first playdates with this really lovely couple. So you're new in the lifestyle. New in the lifestyle, yeah. It was one of our first playdates, and they were really nice people. But I didn't know how to say what I wanted or what I liked or what I didn't like.
And it wasn't quite how I enjoyed it, and I got a little bit upset, and I also was a little bit lacking in confidence, and I didn't know how to say oh can you not do it that way this isn't quite comfortable and i actually went to the bathroom right and um because i didn't want to ruin it for anybody else right right yeah and i was actually in tears in the bathroom and andy was picking up the vibe he he was like are you okay and because i didn't want to ruin it for anyone i'm like yeah i'm okay yeah but i wasn't really right you know right i didn't know how to say it yeah but i've since learned to say ah that hurts this doesn't hurt i like this i don't like this i'm comfortable i'm not comfortable right yeah and it was a big learning curve that's a good message for the women out there you have to express yourself if you're not feeling comfortable or you're not getting what you want in a in a situation just say what's on your mind guys like myself for instance or andy it's okay we want to hear that we want because we want to plead you i agree we want to do what you want and what you like yeah most men in a lifestyle are there to help it's really important to be aware of how your partner is at each whenever you're playing or whenever you're out, be aware of where they're at.
But in the same token, though, yeah, at the same token, I mean, J.R. doesn't really watch me because typically we don't have to worry about it too much.
Yeah, because generally the men in the lifestyle are there really to be good to women the men really do want to please oh that's the majority yeah and so just a few words just a few movements yeah you know you can change it and i get i get that whole you don't want to ruin it for everybody else you know and so that's that's kind of like a taking it one for the team kind of concept yeah i i we don't take one for the team ever no no we haven't wow no we don't no no but i but we also have a very good understanding of what each other likes yeah and who is important yeah and and it wasn't that there was anything wrong with this couple right but i didn't know how to say what i liked and what i didn't like they were very experienced in the lifestyle they had been in the lifestyle a long time i guess we would consider ourselves as newbies yes at that point so we probably gave too much or you certainly gave too much yeah right right but whereas these days being more experienced you know what you want you know what you like yeah yeah so for example i like a little lube right and i've learned straight up to say hi yeah i'm the lube queen that's right don't even don't even bother going there without lube yeah right which is good that's why it's self-preservation and it's also like how to make it good for yourself.
You know, women are always looking to men to please them, but in reality, we have to know how to please ourselves as well. So it's that combination of using a man to please us, but we're pleasing ourselves as well. But if they're having a good time, we're having a good time. It works both ways. And I think men, I would think, would like to make the woman happy and please the woman because if the woman's happy, I know I'm going to be happy.
I was just going to say that most men in the lifestyle, if you've been in a while and you're really conscious of what women want, you can be like, okay, fine. You want lube? I'll give you lube. Yeah. Yes. And J.R., honestly, I mean, that's usually his whole motivation. When we're together sexually with other women, you know, it's not about him. It's about him making that woman happy. And if she's happy, he'll have a good time. Exactly. And that gives him the greatest joy.
You we've been in lifestyle for a while and we have regular partners so i kind of have a little little database in my head yeah this one likes it fast this one likes it slow this one doesn't do that this one does that i know what the women want i do that for them and you adjust i do yeah absolutely because it makes you happy to make them happy right and if i don't know i'll ask them if i forget wait who are you what do you want but i think for me it's um it's all about the women in the lifestyle it's all about the women if the woman's happy the man should have a good time. Yeah. It's a given.
Yeah. Yeah. That is true. I'm easily pleased. It's all about everyone having a good time and enjoying each other and respecting each other, and that's what it's all about. And I love it because, you know, if you follow the rule of no drama. Yeah. And everyone's smiling and happy, and don't bring your drama to the party. And you say what you feel. Yeah. And protect yourself. Right. When you say what you feel, then there's not going to be drama. Exactly. Yeah. You're honest and open. And you're up for a great night. Right. Yeah. Whether something happens, you might not even hook up. Right.
But you can still have an awesome time yeah because the people in the lifestyle are awesome so the only other conversation that we were going to talk about just real quickly so how do you deal with jealousy like so how did that process go for you okay let's have the answer of this first because... It was a process. It can be hard for one. Yeah. I think it has been a journey. Uh...
for you okay let's say for the answer this first because it was it can be half a woman yeah i think it has been a journey uh and at the very beginning i did have to deal in my own mind with jealousy issues my issue wasn't that andy was going to run off with someone else as a new partner but it was he was going to find other people more attractive than me okay oh they've got better boobs than me they're tinier than me they've got longer hair than me they've got better clothes than me whatever i had to learn to love myself yes yeah and i think that's yeah my my jealousy issue came down to lack of self-confidence yes We'll see you next time.
Love myself. Yes. And I think that's, yeah, my jealousy issue came down to lack of self-confidence. Yes. I agree. Yeah. Because each of us are so special. I had to learn to love myself. Right. And sorry, but I do. And she really does. She really does. And she's gorgeous. Yeah, and she's got this amazing sexy tattoo that runs from the right side of her top right breast all the way down her side down to her hip and it's this beautiful and it has meaning what i guess tell us well some other people from wyoming that you've mentioned before, CMB. That's right.
We saw them walk into a pre-cruise party. Oh, you met them on the cruise as well? Yeah. On the Bliss Cruise, right. Yeah, yeah. On the Bliss Cruise. On the Bliss Cruise. And they walked in and we saw them both and we went, wow, they look amazing. We would really like to meet them. Now, that wasn't a mind thing. That was a visual thing. Yeah. And she had the same tat or similar. Yes. And we did get to meet them, and we worked out, wow, they're amazing people. Eight years later, we've just been to their house for a week. Oh, wait. So here's the deal.
So CMB have this pontoon boat party, and they're entertaining. Bites and boobs. Right. Yeah, right. And now it's time to leave. But Sophie hasn't had time yet, because he was host, to hook up. Oh, my God. And now it's time to leave. But Sophie hasn't had time yet, because he was host, to hook up. So Andy looks at C. Yes. Yes. And says, here's your chance, right? You've got 15 minutes. Yeah, yeah. No, you have to let Silby tell. Okay. So, okay. So we'd already discussed it. And because he'd been busy as host, we hadn't had a chance to hook up. And we were about to leave.
And this darling man beside me said, I've spoken with him. You've got half an hour. Off you go. Off you go. I think we call it a quickie. Yeah, it was a quickie. But we went, oh, dear. Because they had lots of family coming the next weekend, they had a lady who had come in to help. The housekeeper. The housekeeper. Yeah. To help fix the place up Because we trashed it And we said, where are we going to go?
And I said, well, let's go out in the fifth wheeler Yeah, so they have a camper Oh, it's enormous The fifth wheeler The fifth wheeler is enormous Right, that's a camper Hello, trailer trash No No, I love it It's perfect In the middle of it, I said, well, if it's rocking, don't come knocking Oh, my God. trash no no no no i love it it's it's like a perfect in the middle of it i said well if it's rockin don't come knockin if it's rockin don't come knockin and it was rockin yeah yeah that's super fun but yeah so she had the same tat and we've got some awesome photos lying together of the tats.
I know. Very similar. Very similar, but not. But the flowers are different. Oh, yeah. My flower is from my wedding bouquet when we first got married 33 years ago. Whoa. And then in 2007. Yes, it was. We renewed our vows. That's right. With Elvis in Vegas. Oh, yeah. Elvis in Vegas. I trivis in vegas and i got a new renewal ring it's got uh the curls on it and filigree type stuff and so this great tattoo guy in sydney he designed the whole tat around my ring oh fantastic yeah and you Yeah. And you were just in Vegas a few days ago. Oh, yeah. So it was a second renewal. Okay. No, no. Okay.
So go ahead. Andy, go ahead. I'll run with this. So we drove from Los Angeles across to Vegas, and we had two days in Vegas. It was 114 degrees. 17 degrees, right? This is the thing. Yeah. A couple of weeks ago.
A week ago yeah it was hot so we're on our way away i mean we're two nights in vegas on the way and so we're walking up the strip and we're running in and out of casinos trying to stay in the air conditioning and as we're going up towards the blinds yeah because you want to see the fountains i said to sophie i said hey 2007 we stayed here and we got a a car uh down to the white what was it called the um the chapel the white chapel yeah it was just the graceland oh yeah the grace on chapel graceland chapel and we renewed our vows with elvis and it was great with elvis with elvis so our kids were like, what the hell is going on?
