Welcome to the Swing Nation Podcast, a podcast by swingers for swingers, where we look to educate others and push back on the negative stigmas and misconceptions associated with our lifestyle. Come with us and share our pineapple journey as we travel the globe. Interview the experts, learn and grow together. Join the nation. Hey there, pineapple people. And welcome to the swing nation podcast. We are your hosts, Northern guy and Southern girl. And we are back with another full episode of the swing nation podcast. Uh, on this week's episode, we're here to recap the, uh, electric pleasures event. Yeah. So it was just this past weekend. So it's Wednesday. So we're recording this today before it comes out. So, This is like fresh. Like we just got home late, late Sunday night. So we were in Atlanta, Georgia. It was a really good time. Yeah. So this is our second. So if you're, you know, maybe this is the first episode you've listened to. If you're not following us, we launched a new hotel takeover brand that's called Electric Pleasures. And the idea of it is it's kind of meshing music festival, like EDM vibes with like lifestyle hotel takeovers. takeover sex-positive vibes. Yeah. So, you know, maybe saying a sex-positive music festival hotel takeover. With a playroom. With desire spaces. Oh, well, whatever you want to call it. Yeah, and like just, you know, before we really jump into it, just reading some of the reviews and stuff. Now, overwhelmingly, everybody loves it. You know, it's been very positive feedback. I think though some of the ones that maybe the feedback's not so great I think they're trying to put this into a box of a traditional hotel takeover okay where you know there's just like you know a dj at night there's you know during the day there's not a whole lot you know going you know you you make friends you go have lunch you go sat see if there's something I think people are trying to put it in that category and not realize that we're really leaning into the music festival So, like, for instance, we had DJs from, like, 2 till 2 in the morning. Yeah. So, like, for instance, right now, the day DJs are not getting a whole lot of people in there because people are not quite getting it. But we hope that, like, eventually people will really start to see that. Just like if you went to a traditional music festival, you go for the music festival. Yeah. Like, we got some feedback, like, people wanted, like, games and stuff like that. And I'm like, but you wouldn't want that at a traditional music festival. You wouldn't go to like EDC and be like, why didn't y'all have any meet and greet games? You know, it's a music festival. And we do try to sprinkle some opportunities to kind of help people mingle. But truly, it's kind of bridging that gap. And I think it's going to take people a few of these to kind of really get what we're trying to do. It's different. It's not supposed to be the same. It's not supposed to be just like every other hotel takeover. If it was, go to what, you know, there's. If that's what you like. And you know what? Honestly, I like that too. I like that too. And I think there's a space for traditional hotel takeover. And there's a space for somebody that maybe is really into EDM music or where it leans into that. So I want to point that out just from reading the reviews. Another thing, not to get too far sidetracked here, but another thing I will say is I don't think we really know exactly what it's supposed to be, right? Like this is kind of a new concept, right? So we have a vision and we're trying to execute it. I mean, are we going to do perfect every time? No, we're going to have to adjust a little, you know, like for instance, we knew this, uh, what month are we in? March. This March one was going to be a little different because there's no pool party. Cause it's, you know, it's March. It's not warm enough. We're in Atlanta. Um, it was all indoors, which was different than Gulf free. So we kind of knew some of our restrictions, like going into it. So we're trying to like adjust and make it work, but we're not always going to hit it perfectly. Agreed. All right. So let's get into let's get into the nitty gritty details and tell them everything that happened at Electric Pleasures Atlanta. So this was a Friday, Saturday party, but Dan wanted an entire work day for Wednesday and Thursday. So that meant late Tuesday night, you and I hit the road. Yeah, and so that's, you know, again, if you've been following us for a while, our takeover that we've been doing for the last four years have all been takeovers of existing swingers clubs or takeovers at Secrets or, you know, Bliss Cruises. Where they have everything pretty much done for us. Right, where everything is done. So the difference with Electric Pleasures is we're going into a vanilla hotel that is not meant for music festivals. It's not meant for lifestyle parties. There's no any infrastructure. You know, most of these ballrooms don't even have sound systems in them. So we're setting that completely up from scratch and trying to build the space. So it takes quite a bit of time. So it takes me about 12 hours. It took me 12 hours at this last event just to set up the main stage. And then, you know, like you said, we had decorations on top of that. We had the desire space. We had, you know, we had VIP spaces and couches. So, you know, it's a whole day just to do the music, sound and lights and then I wanted another day to kind of do the rest of it you know like fine-tune so that's why we left and we literally just got there around midnight we pulled up unloaded our personal belongings and went to bed so that was that was our Tuesday um Wednesday morning like like you said you got up about 10 and literally worked 12 hours in there and I always feel really bad because I can't help you at all like at all like most of the stuff is too heavy for me to even or you need a dolly and there's one dolly and it's you have to be the one I mean I guess I could assist you and like hand you something but it it's I feel like I would almost be in your way more than I would yeah and this is something you know we've talked about amongst our staff is like how do we make this process quicker and faster and how do you know how we get more efficient at it and like you said because this is a new event you know all this equipment is new you know I ordered it I kind of learned how to put it together and set it up. So I think it's going to take a while for me to pass. We also don't really have the budget to have like a roadie. Or hire like an electronic. I mean, there's just not a lot of profit here. We barely make profit now. We would make zero profit if we hire. We'd lose money, probably, yeah. If we hire. So you just kind of have to take your time and do it. So I actually, I had gotten my pellets the week before. And I was feeling kind of off. I don't know. We haven't determined what it was. I'm thinking it was more hormonal. I just felt very irritable. Nothing's changed with anything else in my body other than my hormones. And so I don't know if maybe they were just like kind of high. So I really just kind of like. Took a day off. Yeah, I just laid around and was lazy and napped and finished my book and just kind of just kind of enjoyed. with no responsibilities and it was lovely. Yeah. And I mean, I think that it's good to take those kind of breaks, you know, something maybe we don't talk about much, but me and you work seven days a week. And usually those are like 10 hour days, you know, like this, this content creation hotel or event planning and party, you know, not to mention, you know, several other side projects that we have going on right now. It takes a lot of a bit of time. And I think Like, sometimes you do need a disconnect in a day off. And it was lovely because I was in a hotel room, right? You know, so like, it wasn't like I was at home and I was like, oh, I should go do this. I should, you know, it was nice. I needed the day. I enjoyed it. But yeah, I mean, that was really like the bulk of our day Wednesday. There's not a whole lot to report other than you set up for 12 hours. And then we really couldn't do a whole lot going into Thursday because Taco Bell, of all places, had rented out. So the ballroom, there's like dividers. Right. So there's three sections. Yeah. And so the way they had set up the ballroom is they sectioned off where our main stage was going and they let us go in there and set up. But then the other two sections, they were having like a Taco Bell national conference or something. Something. There was people from all over wearing Taco Bell. I didn't know they had so much Taco Bell merch. They had lunchboxes. They had jackets. They had hats. They had t-shirts. They had pants. They were also all very lovely. They all spoke. They all were like, what are y'all doing over here? But their meeting wasn't over until four. And then it took them a little bit to get wrapped up. So we could, you know, Thursday is usually like our prep day. We could do stuff, but we really couldn't finish anything until they kind of got out of there. So we, you know, I was able to help you and all of our staff and everybody started coming in. So I was able to, you know, I tried to help. We built futons and put up backdrops. and stuff like that. So, I mean, I tried really hard to help, you know, as much as I could, but there wasn't a whole lot even Thursday for me to do. Now, I will say, though, you know, we like you said, Taco Bell left, you know, three, four o'clock or whatever, and then we got into the whole ballroom and finished setting it up. Best ballroom we've done yet. Yeah, it's really good. You know, shout out to, you know, Bobby and Jamie and, you know, Diana and Mandy and the entire staff. You know, like Lacey said, this is only our second event and our first time in this. And, you know, everything's a little different. Every setup's a little different, how much room you have, where you can put stuff. But I really thought the main ballroom and the desire space. So, like I said, it was three sections. So, we actually used two of the large sections where the main stage, where the dancing and stuff happened. And then the third section was the desire space, which is basically the playrooms, like what you would, a swinger would refer to. And that all turned out really well, I thought. It did. And the reviews, like on the production was, they were, They thought the sound, the lights, everything was very, very good. So we did get a few, like maybe the desire space could have been more. But honestly, we were really proud with what we were able to come up with because that's actually kind of hard to come up with mattresses and everything and like all the equipment that you need. So we were actually, on a personal level, pretty proud of what we were able to accomplish. And it'll get better and better every one we do. And especially, you know, as we make a little money we invest it back and buy more lights and more mattresses and more you know equipment so we can do this so it'll get better with time no i agree 100 yeah and i thought i thought they did a very very good job and i also like that the desire space had like a kind of a dungeon area so it was a mix of play space and like dungeon you know it was really the this is a space where you can go and explore your fantasies that's the kind of the idea of this brand that the idea of that space and and i felt like There was lots of things in there that would help you facilitate that. Yeah. No, I agree. So Thursday night, well, actually before Thursday, Juan Deepa, who's one of our DJs, and Ali, and then Max, who is another DJ. And then what, is it Frack? His girlfriend. Girlfriend, I don't know. Yeah. I think it's. Or wife. I'm not sure if they're married or not. No, they're not married. Okay. Anyway, they had invited us to go. They're foodies. You know, they, like, no matter where they go they're going to find good food which Dan and I are not really this evil we want good food but we're not really going to go out of our way to like find it we're just going to order something and hope for the best but anyway because they've taken us to a few really cool places so far so they were on Wednesday night they were like hey do y'all want to go to this southern restaurant like southern food restaurant in Atlanta that's like Michelin rated or all these things what do they call it like soul food is that the is that the correct term for that no I think it was just southern cuisine anyway they're like do you want to go and we were you know we were like yeah you know that'd be nice to kind of get away we hadn't left the hotel in days so we were like sure well the problem was i didn't really have any clothes like i had leggings and like two-piece bodysuits or like you know a bodysuit or a two-piece you had brought all rave clothes yeah and then like leggings to wear home and then i brought like a pair of shorts in case it was hot so i didn't really i didn't really prepare for going to anyway so shout out to Stacey and Sean, they actually went to Walmart and to pick up like, you know, they needed drinks and stuff. And I was like, can you find me a black sundress? So they actually brought me two back. So I was able to find something to wear. And we ended up going to this restaurant. And I think it's like Maine and Time, Time and Maine, something like that. Anyway, it was in Atlanta. It was so good. It was outside of Atlanta. It was probably like in Roswell or somewhere like that. It was so good. It was really good. I had fried chicken and macaroni and cheese and it was, I mean, amazing. They had this like fancy cornbread with this like honey butter. The butter. They had, we had like pulled pork quesadillas and the pork was like. Melt in your mouth. You had the pork chop. Yeah. It was like a full rack pork chop thing. And like they had cooked it on like a wood fired grill, like in the backyard or something. Amazing. And then like the desserts, we ordered every dessert on the menu. This is part of why I like eating with Juan Deepa and Allie and all them. They just ordered everything. They were like, give me one of every dessert. Give me one of every appetizer. It was kind of like a share. It was sort of like family style almost. We had like three appetizers, like four desserts. It was a lot of fun to share and get to try everything. It was one of my favorite meals. Of course, I'm born and raised in the South. I love Southern food. You're not the biggest fan, but that's saying something. Well, listen, I'm not a big fan of Southern food, and that was good. Yeah, but it was funny. But what was funny is I had on this, like, sweet little sundress. Allie had her titties out. Frack had, like, a two-piece, like, set, so her belly showing. These people in there did not know what hit them when we came walking in. You know, like, we were obviously respectful, but we're still having, like, regular swinger, normal conversations, you know? And this, like, sweet lady next to us was turning, They probably thought, who the fuck are we sitting next to? She was hot. She was a very good looking lady. Very, very attractive for an 80 year old lady. She looked maybe 60. I wanted to invite her back to our party. And then like at one point, Allie walked out of the bathroom because her tits are like up and out. And this guy goes, well, hello there or something like that. So we, you know, needless to say, they didn't sit anybody by us once. No, that room we were in emptied out pretty. We did close the restaurant. I don't think it was us but they didn't they didn't put anybody near us on purpose I don't think so anyway after that it was Diana who works for us birthday yes and we didn't know that when well I knew it was her birthday I didn't realize that they were we didn't put two and two together we didn't put two and two together they were going to do like a birthday dinner for her and so when Allie and them invited us to dinner we said yes not knowing so we felt really bad and I actually sent Diana a message I was like hey I we had I had no idea. And now we're like, I've got a dress. We're going, you know, and she was like, it's not a big deal. But they were going to like bar hop after. So I was like, okay, we'll just come and meet up with y'all after. Yeah, we'll hang out after. She was like, perfect. So they, we, they picked this bar that was like literally 400 feet from where we were, which was perfect. And we got there and it was not the vibe. It was not the vibe. Yeah. It was like a, um, looked like it was a converted gas station. Yeah. Like an old fashioned gas, which was really cool. Yeah, it looked cool. And like all the doors and windows were open, though. And it was kind of chilly that night. Like it was probably, you know, upper 50s, maybe low 60s. Everybody there seemed a little snooty. All right. And nobody had brought jackets or coats or. And so and then they were playing like there was some like guy playing a guitar or singing country music or something. It could be fun, but it wasn't that great. Yeah. And we were also there for like we were in rave like mode, not really like sit back and listen to a guitar by a fireplace. Yeah. And it was like cold outside. And then inside was a little, not really much places to sit. I don't know. It wasn't like a dance and have fun kind of. No, we wanted to dance and have fun. So Dan was like, hey, let's just go back to the hotel room or hotel. And hang out in the. We have. We have a whole DJ equipment. We have lights. We have we have a club back at the hotel we can use. Why? What are we doing here? Yeah. So we did. We went back. Yeah. And we just did like the JBL speech. speakers, not a whole lot of, you know, because we didn't want to disrupt anybody that kept it quiet. Yeah. But the fire alarm did keep going off. Well, no. So we get the music going and everybody's dancing and it was fun and we were having a good time. The girls were making TikToks and stuff with the, you know, the stage and the lights. Um, and I got the bright idea to hit the fog machine so that, you know, you could see the lights and the lasers because the girls were making videos. What I didn't realize is, um, for the we had scheduled for the fire department to turn the fire alarm in the ballroom off and then we're gonna have people like on they call fire watch during the actual event well we did not schedule that for Thursday yeah so when I hit the fire or the when I hit the the fog machine and this is we're probably pushing midnight at this point in time so when I hit that it set the alarm off in the hotel yeah and the fire department actually came they had to come yeah yeah it's a requirement um which was a little funny But the fire alarms went off all weekend. So can we talk? Wow. But they so I know you said you had they kept going off. Well, I think and I don't if you are somebody that works for the fire department, you're probably gonna hear what I say and make. No, that's not exactly correct. But it's something about when you put them in that standby mode. They just don't every certain. No, it's every certain hours. They like it like resets or something. And that's why if you notice when it did beep, it beep like three times and then go back off. It didn't like. go off continuously. And it wasn't calling. And the fire department, they knew that it was off and they knew that we were monitoring it. So I don't know why. It was just more annoying than anything. Yeah. So like every, I don't, it wasn't very often, but every three, four or five hours, whatever it was, it would like reset. Yeah. Okay. So yeah, we hung out in the ballroom for a little while, not long. And we very quickly decided we needed to orgy. Yeah. You were turned up. A little. go. But then when I got to the room, I was like, oh, I could really. Because, you know, think about it. We ate all that food. I was like, oh, I could really go to bed. But then I knew that there was a good chance we wouldn't get to play much throughout the weekend. So I kind of was like, okay, let's rally. I need to rally because if I don't, this might be my only opportunity. So I sort of kind of gave myself like a little pep talk. Let's do this, Lacey. Yeah. So we ended up going in Southern Swap. I don't know. Tiffany Bell. Yes. is her new name on the internet. But Southern Swap's room. And she had two beds. And there was quite a few couples. I did think, I think I wrote down everybody's name, but I'm not going to. I try not, if you notice lately, I try not to list everybody like we used to. Well, because then if you forget somebody or then, you know, we have certain couples that don't necessarily want. Yeah. So we just, there was, let's see, one, two, three, four couples in a single. Well, I think one of the couples were together. I don't know if they were together or not. The girl, Danny ended up breaking a girl. There was, yeah, so two single guys, a single girl. Okay, she's single. Okay, I just accounted her as a group. Well, I think she was with a single male. Yeah, they're not together. Okay, gotcha, gotcha. But yeah, I don't remember who all you fuck, but I fucked like, I think I fucked like three or four guys. And counting you would be the fourth. And then kind of, which was hot, you know, it was a great time. After that, I kind of took a step back. Again, because I was, you know, I was kind of tired, still pretty full. Also, I didn't want to completely break my pussy. We had went to, we didn't podcast about it, but we went to a content house a few weeks ago. And I fucked eight guys. Yeah, in a week or a day, actually. And I had a pretty gnarly UTI, as I should. I deserved it. You earned that, yeah. So I was really just trying to not... Preserve the pussy this time. Yeah, you know, because I didn't know where the weekend... I hoped, you know, it'd go to more, but I just genuinely didn't know, and I didn't want to go too, too hard too soon. Gotcha, yeah. But I mean, I did... I did fuck my fair share of few. I had sex with the majority, not all, but the majority of the girls in there, and there was... And then you want to talk about breaking the pussy? Yeah, so, you know, and I don't even know what name, She goes by, but the single female that was there, apparently. Well, hold on. First of all, can I say something? Yeah. She had came up to me on the dance floor before we went to war gene. Before the fire line. And was like, hey, I know we don't know each other super well, but I am super into dance. So if the opportunity would come up, I would like to play with him if he's interested. And so when we were in the room, and I'd seen that you had played with quite a few girls, I was like, hey, just say. Our friends. You know, our friends that you had played with before. I knew you had never engaged with her. I kind of was like, hey, she mentioned this to me. She's really into you if that's something that you want to do. Yes. And obviously it was. It was towards the end when we were finishing up. You had mentioned that to me somewhere during the play session. And so I was kind of getting near the end. And I'm like, well, let me ask her if she wants to. Yeah, because everybody else is pretty much like wrapping up at this point. And so it turns out she had not had much sex. Yeah. And so me and her were engaging. Actually, I saw that she was bleeding. I was like, hey. And it wasn't like a bright red. It was almost like a watered down. And it was not a lot. It was just a little. Yeah. And I was like, oh my gosh. And she felt, you could tell she felt bad and embarrassed. But honestly, it happens really often. Especially if you've not used to being with someone bigger or not had a lot of sex. It's not uncommon for that to happen. Right. We just, you know, I think the Tuesday talks is, was about having sex on your period. Yeah. So it is funny that we get to this. And again, this is why we always use protection because you never know when this kind of thing happens. And because it did happen. And like you said, she didn't have much sex and she probably, I mean, I was not the first guy she had had sex with this night. So it's probably, you know, a little more than she was used to. And so that happened. But I was wearing protection. It was like no big deal. You know, I went and took the condom off and she cleaned up and I was apologetic. She was apologetic. But it was okay. I think it's worth mentioning because I think we should normalize that like it's not always perfect you know shit happens sometimes just being aware of that especially like if people are you know if somebody's not used to certain sizes and then you have sex with a new partner something like bleeding can happen you know I mean so you know especially if you're having a lot more sex than usual or you know so that kind of stuff does happen it's not the first time that's happened during sex and you know during an orgy it probably won't be the last time but it It wasn't a big deal. Yeah, I agree. Okay. And after that, we literally just went to bed. That was it. We wrapped it up. I put my robe on while you were still fucking. I was like, okay, I'm done. All right, Dan. Time for bed. Yeah. All right. We still got a little bit of time. You want to take a break now? Let's take a little break. Okay. Hear from the partners and sponsors of the Swing Nation podcast. And then when we get back, we'll get into the actual party. Yeah. The Friday and Saturday. Okay. All right. We'll be right back, guys. Lacey, one thing I don't leave home without when going to a swinger event is my ED medication. That is correct. Performance anxiety is 100% a real thing. Having sex in an orgy room with 100 people in there is way different than having sex at home in your bedroom. It is. So I like to have what we call a little insurance policy. and have some of that ED medication in my pocket. Shameless Care is who I use for that. And they actually just came out with a new product called the Shameless Duo. Yeah. Which is a combination medicine that has Viagra and Cialis in it. So that one, you can be ready whenever. But also it's got that dose that you can take when you're, you know, as you're getting ready to go to the playroom and you need that to kick in. Yeah. So I love it. I mean, I used it at Hedo for the first time and that combination. You've kind of pretty much switched to that. That's basically what I use all the time now. Yeah. So if you're looking for ED medication, if you're new to the lifestyle and you're going to an event, you might want to get some and have it just handy in case you need it. Yeah. And the really cool thing about Shameless Care is they don't set you up on a reoccurring plan. So you're not going to get all of this ED medication that you have in your nightstand built up. When it's time that you need more, you'll get an email from them and they'll ask you, hey, are you ready for another round? and you can respond back. Yes, please refill it or no, I'm good right now. Thank you. So it's really cool because you don't end up with all these extra pills and spend a bunch of money that you're not, you know, you don't need to spend. Yeah. And my favorite part is you don't actually have to go into an office and talk to your family doctor or a military doctor. You can do it all right online from the privacy of your home. You just go to the website, you fill out some forms, the doctor reviews it, approves you, disapproves you, and you move on from there. get some medication you can go to the swing nation dot info click on the little recommended apps and products scroll down to the shameless care icon click on that and that's going to take you over there there's some discount codes there for you so you can get a discount off your first order but i highly recommend if you're going to some events or parties go get you some lifestyle insurance all right guys check it out dan so when we're doing the podcast a lot of times we'll tell the listeners, we are filming our content for OnlyFans, right? So how do they find that content if they want to see the videos that go along with the stories? Yeah, so that's a great question. So you are correct. We do film for OnlyFans. When we're going to clubs and events, we talk about sometimes, oh, we did OnlyFans with so-and-so. So if they're interested in that, they can go to theswingnation.info and they'll see right there. there on the front page, a link to your OnlyFans. We are running promos. We are. And it could be anywhere from 50% to 80% off right now. Yeah. So I think right now it's 80% off. Wow. So you'd have to, you know, go grab that right away. But if you like watching orgies, if you like watching threesomes, if they want to see you take DVP, they want to see how big of a dirty slut you actually are. They can see all that right on your OnlyFans page. We kind of call it, It's like another tier of education No, I was about to say that because I think like if you go to some of these major porn sites and you type in like swinging, you're going to find some things and it's usually not very good. Let's be real. We actually will get and we try to get as many orgies on camera as we can because a lot of people that are joining the lifestyle, they want to see us do a full swap with a couple or they want to see us engage in an orgy. And these are the same people that we will have orgies with at the swinger club with obviously without the cameras we just kind of recreate it um you know at opportunities that we can film so if you're thinking about joining the lifestyle and you're like man i need to know i need to see like how they're navigating this our only fans can be kind of educational if you ask me i agree so go over to the swing nation dot info click that blue and white button and uh go sign up today yeah check it out we appreciate you guys lacy people are always asking How do we get to a party or an event that you guys are hosting?

Yes. Which I always appreciate when people come out on Thursday night. It's really our best opportunity to enjoy the party. And, you know, it's secrets. People, man, people are coming in on Tuesdays and Wednesdays now. At Gulf Breeze Electric Pleasures, I think we had 70 couples come in on Thursday. Atlanta, it was a little bit less. But I think, I mean, there's still probably 30, 40, Couples there on Thursday night. So it's good to see everybody on. It was definitely good to see all of those people in that room that night. Yeah. So I had a great time. Yeah. All right. So that brings us to Friday. Yeah. Party day. Party day. Right. So this is the first day of the main event. So we kind of slept in. The party didn't technically start till two. You kind of got up, got in your shower and headed out. I went ahead and got ready. My goal was to be ready. 12, 1 o'clock, because I wanted to be able to go into the ballroom with it completely set up and ready to go and be able to make TikToks and videos before. I didn't know if a lot of people would, like, show up right when the doors open. I had no idea. So I wanted to be able to film some content for everybody, but with still being respectful of everyone else. Right. So, yeah, that's what I did. I got ready. So the way Electric Pleasures works is there's no, like, traditional, swinger themes we try to give people directions like we give you colors and stuff like that to kind of give you like guidance on what to wear but really truly you can just wear whatever the hell you want you know and that's kind of how the rave culture is and so we're just trying to you know lean into that as much as we can yeah and it's fun you know sometimes uh friend groups will do like matching costumes and stuff like that like you said we do do colors so there's certain colors on friday and saturday and we try to base that off like the colors of the location slash the event, right? Like for Gulf Breeze, we try to do like oceans in the sky. Atlanta was a little different. I don't know where we came up. So it was like blue and white and then like magenta and orange. Yeah, like the Phoenix was on the poster. So they're supposed to be like Phoenix-y colors. Oh, okay. I didn't know that. Yeah. So anyway, that's where the colors came from. So because there's like not a pool party or anything like that, you almost need like two outfits. I mean, you could, depends on when you start your day. You could really wear one, but I kind of, I've noticed that I noticed it in Gulf Breeze and it seems like it's starting to become a thing and I guess this is probably something that's a little different than a typical rave where you would probably just wear one outfit all day it seems to me that during the day portion people are wearing so like this is like the 12 to 6 7 8 o'clock at night portion people are wearing typical rave clothes and this is what you did but I saw several of the other girls do the same thing where they wear typical rave type clothes. And then at the night portion, they were wearing like lingerie in that same color theme. Yeah. I mean, that's just what I did because I didn't really want to buy like two actual outfits. And in traditional swinger parties, usually at some point you switch into lingerie anyway. So that's kind of why I did it. I don't know if that's the right way or the wrong way, but it seems to work for me. So that's what we're going. My only issue is I can't really make much content when I'm in my outfit. In the lingerie. Yeah. So I have to be kind of careful. But anyway, so my day outfit was, you know, like this bell sleeve type outfit with these. Very cute. Yeah. With these like little bottoms. Also too big for you. Yeah. I've recently lost like 15 pounds. And I ordered this probably like in January, maybe early February. So it was definitely a little big. I kind of had to like tuck, but I wasn't going to. like buy something else. I was just going to make it work. So, but yeah, I mean, so I went, you were getting everything started. I made videos in TikToks. Actually, Tiffany Bell and Wicked Queen came down and made some with me. Yeah, the pictures of you guys are pretty cute. Yeah. We just figured, you know, let's just go ahead and like knock some of this stuff out so we could have some fun. And so that's pretty much like what the bulk of my mid, Like after lunch, you know, before like three, four o'clock kind of looked like, Daphne and Mike had to work. So they couldn't come over until like once their work was finished. So they came over and they actually had adjoining rooms with us. So they, you know, they came and got checked in. So I hung back out in the room for a little bit while she got ready or, you know, and I'd go out and come back in and stuff like that. And you were just running around because you have to change. So the DJs change every hour or two? Yeah. So at this event, it was about every hour the DJs will switch out. And so because it's all my equipment and slash I change out their name on the LED wall and stuff like that, I just want to kind of be there for that. Now these DJs are experienced DJs and they could probably do it themselves. Maybe not so much. I don't think they don't know the login to my computer to change the logo out and stuff like that. switch the music over themselves uh so i just try to be there when they when they do that and make sure they got everything they need if they need water you know like just looking out for them stage manager kind of stuff no i love that which i'm told i'm not supposed to do but again we can't hire somebody to do that so it's why are you not supposed to do it i don't know there should be somebody else well i guess i'm the host right so like yeah unfortunately there's we don't have the budget do it do it all right yeah so yeah definitely they do that now another thing i want to mention so like you said people started checking in probably around like one o'clock The music started at two. And then at five o'clock, we actually had a candy making. I wouldn't say class. I think we called it a candy making meet and greet. So if you don't know, candy in like rave culture is like these bracelets and you exchange them. Right. And so there's like a little handshake thing you do. This was a peace, love, unity or something. And there's a little, you know, little handsome goals you do. But you make these, they're almost like friendship bracelets. Yeah. And then you make them and share them. with each other. And they have, you can have cute sayings. You can lean more into rave. You can lean more into swinger. I mean, it's just really. Some of them said like dirty things on them. Like I love DP. Some of them just were said things like, you know, free love or, you know, I don't, you know, whatever. So there was, there was a lot. Some of them just said electric pleasures on them, which I like, you know, again, our vision of this event was mixing these two cultures, right? Like this festival culture and this, this lifestyle culture. And I think with things like candy, you saw it. I mean, I saw it several times where people would walk up to each other and hug and exchange bracelets. And I think it could be the reason for exchanging bracelets could be anything. It could be, I like your outfit. It could be, oh, I really enjoy dancing with you or I really like your vibe. And it's just kind of a way to connect with people. So I liked having that time for people where they could go and make those bracelets so that then they could go and exchange them later. Yeah, no, I agree. So yeah, so after, you know, probably, you know, about that time is when Daphne and Maya came out. And that, I think, you know, because it was Friday, and a lot of people did not come in till Friday, I feel like everything didn't really get started until about this time, because people had to get checked in and get to their room and get unloaded and all the things before they really moved into the party. Yeah, Fridays are hard, especially for hotel takeovers because a lot of people, that was their travel day, right? So, you know, some of these people got up at 5 o'clock in the morning and you know the airports were a mess and some people were, you know, waiting in lines and, you know, in the airport for 8, 9, 10 hours and they're getting in there and they're tired. So, it is a hard thing. I would suggest if you're going to come to an Electric Pleasures event, try it if you can, if you have the ability to do so, try to come in on a Thursday. That way you can get like the full Friday and Saturday experience because I think both days were, were nice. And, you know, if you could do that, that'd be great. But I also get that Fridays are hard for, you know, if you have kids and jobs and not a lot of time off that, you know, coming to a day early is hard. So a Friday was a little different. Now, what I will say that was different from this event to Gulf Breeze is because it was all inside of a hotel and not like in a courtyard like we were in Gulf Breeze. It seemed to separate us. Yeah, there was a couple of walls in between like the lobby area and the actual ballroom. So, like, there was a lot of people, like, were they candy-making and all that. There was a lot of people out mingling and talking, but, like, the DJ couldn't see them. So, like, they could hear the music and vibe with the music, but the DJ was just then kind of, you know. Yeah, there were several times where, like, I'd walk through the lobby and there's, I don't know, 50 to 100 people out there, and then you walk into the ballroom and there's, like, two people in there. Yeah, so I kept trying to go into the ballroom and, like, just start dancing by myself. to kind of encourage people where I think what I loved about Gulf Breeze is you walk out your door and you can see everything. Right. You know, so it was, you know, you could very much like meet and mingle and hang out. And you could the DJs could see everybody. Right. So the worst thing is DJs playing to an empty room. Right. And you feel like you're maybe you're doing something wrong or you're like, do people not like my music? And in this situation, what the DJ didn't know is there's 50 people around the corner vibing there. You know, they were in there dancing and making candy bracelets and having a They just couldn't see. But the DJ didn't know that they were there, right? Or couldn't see that they were there. So that part was different and difficult. And maybe like in hindsight, should we brought tables and did the candy inside? There was some talk about doing that, bringing the candy making into the main ballroom. So like we're learning, you know, we'll adjust. But you also didn't want to, you know, I don't know how many people were being there dancing. So you don't want to be in their way, you know? So like that was a hard, I guess, judgment call. And again, that's one of the areas I think we could adjust. Yeah. Yeah. And also then there's lighting. issue, you know, if the lights are low down in there and then you're trying to make bracelets and you can't see. I mean, so there's advantages and disadvantages no matter which way you do it. Right. Now, I will say from discussion, you know, between us and our partners and stuff, I think the outdoor indoor space type hotels where you have an outdoor area that you can use and then, you know, and then going into a ballroom at night for the night party. I think that's more ideal. Agree. for this type of event. I think it gives you more of that. I felt more festivally at Gulf Breeze. For sure. Than I did at Atlanta. Even though I thought the ballroom Atlanta, the main stage, the club nights. The hotel was better. It was better, yeah. But I really enjoyed that outdoor space. And it's hard with weather. You know, this time of year, you know, we could have been outdoors in Atlanta and everybody had been freezing and it had been terrible. So, I mean, I think, you know, we're going to have to take the location of where we're at the time of year and try to make a judgment call. as to what the best place to be is. But I think going forward, we are going to target warm climates in outdoor spaces as much as possible. Yeah. So just back to the party, it was a great night. Dan, you DJed. You did amazing. Wandipa DJ. I'm trying to think. We had a new DJ. What was his name? Uma. Yeah. Yeah. And he's from Denver. He's a bass house DJ. You know, if you don't know, Denver is like the capital of bass music. Max is from there. So he DJed. at Gulf Breeze. And he apparently went back and told all his DJ friends about how awesome this party was. And so the Denver DJ scene is definitely interested in electric pleasures. I love that. And Uma loved it. I mean, he was having a ball all weekend. And he's like, I'm going to go tell all my friends and everybody needs to come to this party. And you guys are awesome. And the people, these are not lifestyle people. These are DJs. These are festival type, you know, people. You know, he's a pretty, you know, he's got a significant following. and he's a real mainstream kind of DJ in the base, in the Denver kind of scene. So it's nice to have people like that that come from the outside and come from the music festival world and really connect with our party and connect with the people and kind of see that this is different and there's a different energy about this and it's new and it's exciting and I want to be a part of it. I felt that from everybody that had not experienced this type of event before and was there this weekend. Yeah. And shout out to Sophie, Justin, Tom, Filthy Frequency. They all did so good. I was very proud of everybody. I'm not like a super music person, and I very much enjoyed all of it. So that's saying something. That's part of what I love about this event. Lifestyle parties, swinger parties, are very much about the swinging first. And the party and the music is second. You know what I mean? And we've always tried to put on the best party and play the best music that we can but that's how swinger parties are right it's it's more about the connection and the sex and the the playroom right you know it's swinger first and kind of party second where this party is more music first and it takes some i think it takes some of the pressure off uh for the connection i think it maybe makes some of the connecting more seem less forced and more natural yeah i i really like it i really like it i do too yeah i mean it was a great night. I ended up, Daphne and Mike went to bed like about midnight because he was one of the ones that had gotten up at the crackdown. I stayed out till like 1.15 or so. And then once I knew there was like no way we were playing, I was like, okay, I'm going to bed. Yeah. And so I went to the room and you stayed, you had to stay out until like three because you had to shut the music down. So I ended up staying up. I don't know why. I just felt like I needed you to be in the room with me for me to settle in. But I ended up waiting on you. While you were out. Finishing everything up. Yeah. Another thing I loved about this party. And I love about our business partners. I guess I'll say. Is that the music was supposed to shut off at 2 o'clock. And 2 o'clock hit. And there's still 50, 60 people. And we didn't talk about much of the night party. But it filled in. I mean. The club party at night was high energy. I mean. The dance floor was packed. You know. When I started. I started DJing. It was a little spotty and then people really filled in. And then, you know, we did a backstage pass this time. And a lot of the people came up on stage and were dancing with me. And I actually got emotional a couple of times, you know, DJing. I mean, like, you know, we've had a few moments where like, like, wow, this is, we created this, like this, you know, look at this, you know what I mean? I had a couple of those moments DJing this weekend. And so the energy on the dance floor Friday night was amazing. And so anyway, two o'clock rolls around and the last DJ finishes up and DJ, Sunshine comes up to me shout out to him he's a DJ out of Kansas a house DJ and he goes hey would it be all right if I DJ and we keep the party going a little longer he's like these people look like they still wanted to dance yeah and so about Bobby our business partner you know was there and I'm like Bobby what do you think about just keeping the music going for a little while longer and he looked at me he's like I don't see any reason why not to why would we want to stop this yeah and so Sunshine jumped back on the that you know he wasn't paid for that that was you know he just he wanted to be a part of that and so he jumped back on the decks and he kept it going until about almost 3 a.m. before and then people you know there was maybe a the crowd of like 50 that was there you know they ended up mostly going to bed and there was a couple people left but uh then we shut it down but i like that you know like you to be fair you don't see that that's something you don't see at lifestyle parties like we've been to several swinger parties like 11 o'clock people still 50 75 people still on the dance floor at 2 o'clock in the morning is not something you see very often. And again, it's because I think that play is priority, right? So everybody leaves and they go to go fuck. And that's fine. But there was definitely a group, more of a group here that was there for the music and the dance floor and the energy. And so we kept it going. Yeah, I love that. And yeah, so after we shut it down and we picked up the trash a little bit and cleaned up and then I went and jumped in bed with you. Yeah. So we went to sleep. We woke up Saturday. So Saturday, they had some really cool activity, especially for, I mean, they were open to anybody. So I know I, there was two classes. One was a twerk class and then one was a lap dance class. I did not go to the twerk class because it was at 10 a.m. So in case you missed that with her Southern accent, she said twerk. Twerk. Say it again quick. Twerk. Twerk class. Twerk class. So there was a twerking class at 10 a.m. and then there was a lap dance class at 1 o'clock. Which 10 a.m. is entirely too early for me. Right. So you missed the twerking class. somebody recorded a video and sent it to us because they were trying to show us how many people were in there it was completely full and i i was low-key kind of sad i didn't make it because it was actually looked really fun but i got up and got ready and went to the lap dance class which it was at one and there were several guys in the class with us i can't speak to the twerking class but i know for sure the lap dance i think there was a few guys i think i remember seeing a few guys in the twerking classes as well yeah yeah so um Literally, they had came up with a little, you know, routine. Right. So this is Allie and Frack. Yeah. And this is Joe, Juan Deepa's wife. And then Max's girlfriend. Who are professional pole dancers. They're professional pole dancers. And some of the best I've ever seen in person. And so they teach these classes at their home gym. Yeah. So we brought this to Electric Pleasures. Yeah. And I really like these classes. And so when we were talking about the Electric Pleasures brand, you know, classes is something that comes up. This is something that is typical at lifestyle hotel takeovers that during the day to give people something to do that there's classes. For me, it was a really nice opportunity to meet people like with the lights on, you know, just hanging in like a low pressure environment that maybe like in a club when I'm dancing with all my friends, I might not have had the opportunity to. Right. So at swinger lifestyle parties, you'll see things like speed dating. You'll see things like consent classes. You'll see things like Classes on Lifestyle 101 or Dealing with Jealousy or maybe some more medical STI type classes. A critique I have of that is often when I have either taught, we've taught a few of these, when we've taught these classes or we've seen those classes, they don't get heavy participation. People want to party. If you give your average swinger an opportunity. If you go spend $500 to $1,000 to go to a party for the weekend, And the last thing you maybe want to do when you're drunk and hungover the next morning is go to a STD class. Not saying that that information isn't important, that people should learn about it and know about it. I just think in this environment, that's not what people are looking for. That's like a hard choice to make. Maybe if you're new and you're a little intimidated by the party and putting yourself in all these classes to kind of learn, I think that's a great place. We've taught them and been a part of so many. We just don't find there's a lot of participation. Yeah. And I get why. You know what I mean? Because they're not super exciting. You know what I mean? And when you pay money to go somewhere and you want to have fun, some of those classes aren't the most fun. Yeah. So I love this idea and I was super excited. I love, I am not like one that learns choreography or am athletic at all. But you're just so good. I actually really had a lot of fun. Like, and I even like, you know, it went at the end, we got, they were allowed us to record ourselves. doing it. So like recorded it. And then you were allowed to bring your like partner. So you came and sat in a chair and I did a handstand and like flipped onto my lap. Yeah. So it was a lot of fun. I actually like, honestly, like I was like, I could do this for exercise. Like I need to find one of these classes at home and start taking these because I felt like I worked my body, but then it was still something that was like fun and enjoyable. Yeah. No, the girls did amazing. Good participation. Yes. Um, I love the idea of this interactive, Fun. You know, we did yoga and I think we did a hand job class at Gulf Breeze, which I think had pretty good participation. And then this one had excellent, you know, I think yoga in the morning is, you know, sexy yoga, maybe topless yoga, things like that. It might be something we do in the future. And, you know, these lap dance classes, these twerking classes, you know, these girls are, they're going to maybe have way more better ideas than me. So I'm sure they'll come up with more, you know, they teach these classes all the time. So, um, If that's something that's exciting, and I also like, this is all included. This is part of your, and to be fair, and this is another goal with Electric Pleasures, and I don't mean to sound salesy here, but is to keep the cost down, right? So you can get a ticket for Friday and Saturday night. Include your room. It's BYOB, and you can be all in after taxes and sales tax and everything, and it's, the cheapest class, I think, was just under $500 for this. And so if you've been in this space and you've gone to events and stuff like that, you're not going to find something much cheaper than that. And I don't think you'll find anything. I would, you know, if somebody knows of a party with higher production, with more interactive, with more that's giving more to the community for cheaper than that, please send me a link to their tickets because I want to talk to the event owner and see how they're doing it. Right. Because me and you know, we're, we're running on almost a zero profit budget. to put these events on. But that's because we're trying to put so much into them. And we're doing that with the hopes that someday, you know, this grows and it is more profitable for us. But it really is all about the best experience for the community. And I swear to you, that's what we're trying to do here. We're working hard every day to do that. Yeah. Okay, let's jump back in. Okay. So after the lap dance class, you and I had lunch together, just, you know, sitting out, which actually, like, this hotel had, like, a pretty nice, like, dining, it was like where they have their breakfast, you know. So most everybody had, if they ordered like DoorDash or anything, we all had our meals kind of together, which I genuinely enjoyed. Yeah, very community feeling, yeah. Very much enjoyed that. So after we had our lunch, we went back to the room and that's when I started getting into like my rave outfit for the day. And me and Daphne actually decided to fully match because I had bought an outfit and she actually had already had it. And so, So when she was trying to come up with something, I was like, let's just match. She was like, well, I didn't want to copy you. I was like, girl, let's just match. So we decided to match. But as I'm getting ready, we realized that she has a pretty severe migraine. So at this point, I don't even know if she's going to get out. But, you know, like I brought her, I brought her some leftover of my lunch. And then Mike went and got her some soup at the Olive Garden next door. And we got her some Gatorade. So between all of it, she really started to perk up. So about the time I'm finishing up getting ready, she is, she's just now starting. Okay. So you and I went upstairs and went to the room crawl, which was, okay. So I want to talk about a few things. The, a couple of the surveys said, why was the room crawl only on the second floor? Why nobody went to the, because it's, that was the party floor. So we sent out a list of rooms that were. Well, that's not exactly true. So this is a little confusing. And it was a little confusing to me. Well, I know that this hotel, they called the third floor and the second floor, the party floor. But my understanding is they put all of the room called participants on the second floor. So now if you're on the third floor and you just decided to open your door, that's lovely. And you wanted and you had some drinks and you wanted to share. That was awesome. But that was not officially part of it. Yeah. And I think, you know, I will take a little criticism on this. Again, this is our first time using this hotel and trying to figure out exactly how to do this room crawl. I think we could have done a better job of explaining the difference between the second and third floor and why they were party floors. Maybe we could have tried to put rooms on both so that the crowd went to both. Yeah, because it was pretty congested when you got off the elevator. The idea of the second and third floor being the party floors is this hotel is actually almost split into two hotels, right? So the second and third floor that were the party floors were in the main building closest to the main stage. Right. So in those rooms were a little bit more expensive and you're kind of paying for the location that you're co-located with the party. Gotcha. And then also the floors that you're on are where the room crawl and the party, you know, that part of it's going to be right. So you're paying for the kind of like at Gulf Breeze. The interior rooms were a little more expensive than the exterior rooms because you're you're paying for the view you're paying to be part of the party those rooms are a little more expensive when we buy them from the hotel right so that that cost was factored into that similar for this that main hotel the rooms are a little more expensive i don't know if they're a little more nicer i don't know what the difference was but and you're co-located in the main you didn't have to go down that hallway and way down and around the corner yeah but my understanding is they put all the room crawl participants together right so there was some talk about if we had got enough people to volunteer We also did not have many volunteers. And that's really what happened. I actually had to call in favors. We had like three rooms. And we tried like so if you win, we have like an anonymous vote amongst not really you and I. It's more of like because we have. We have people that go around. We have people that vote and they they choose a winner. And so and if you win, you get a free room. So there is incentive to want to do it, you know. But the problem is, is we have to. like kind of convince people. And it's, you know, and even like secrets that we've been doing for a while, we've got people that, you know, will do it every time. We've got some that just don't want to do it at all. They'd rather participate and kind of, you know, room crawl. So we tried to get as many as we could, but it was to the point where I had to like call in like a venture couple and be like, I help a girl out. I need you on this floor. I need you to open your door and help me. So, I mean, and shout out to the ones that did that. Yeah. And so I will say, you know, if you're listening and you went to Electric Pleasures, either Gulf Breeze, because we didn't have a lot of participation there either, or Atlanta, everybody loves the room crawl. So for us to continue that, we need more people to volunteer to host the room. And it is a great way to meet people. You know, if you are a content creator or if you have a podcast or if you have, if you're on TikTok and you want to self-advertise yourself, that's a great way to, you know, if you're sell merch or, you know, any of those type of things, you know, we encourage you to put that information out there. And so you're going to meet and interact with a lot of people. And so it's a good opportunity for that kind of stuff. But please participate in that. And so that, again, you know, because we only had, I think, like four rooms or five, I can't remember. I think maybe after you pulled in favors, we got up to like five rooms. We put them all on the same floor so that it wasn't too spread out. In hindsight, maybe we should have spread them out. That way, if more people had wanted to just open their door on the third floor, they could have been part of it you know so i'll take some criticism for that we you know we're still figuring this out we could have been a little better organized on that yeah but no but so i want to like specifically talk everybody that did do a room crawl y'all killed it uh the guy who dressed up as santa him and his wife they are actually the ones that won which was i think because it was like so out of left field it probably stood out you know he was taking pictures on santa's lap and they had like a balloon orange and then you know avenger couple and i think uh actually joined in. They did Pineapple Moonshine, which was strong as hell. There was a couple other people that had like the blue lights. There was lights on every wall in their room. Yeah. Like everybody really did a good job. And I will say that you don't have to spend a ton of money to do it. It can be as simple or as elaborate. You don't have to give out shots even if you want to give out just stickers or candy or, you know, like there's no to participate in the room crawl. You just have to open your door, really. There's no mandatory having to give things away. The typical is you hand out shots and maybe a little something, but you don't have to do that. Yeah. But yeah, shout out to all y'all. So we went up, did our lap, and then came back down. I think that was actually the time you needed to switch music or something. I think I had to get ready to go DJ. If I remember, I had to go shower, right? No, this was 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Oh, okay. Never mind. Yeah, sure. So you, I think we had to go switch the DJ or do something, and I went to check on Daphne. She was about ready about this time. So I waited on her. We did our TikToks and all because we had done, even though she was sick, I made her do a couple of transitions. So if you go and look on. She's laying in the bed with no makeup on. I'm like, just sit here. She's still cussing you about that. I know. She's like, you're not my friend. You made me on the internet with no makeup. I'm like, you look beautiful. I should. So we did those, finished those up. And then shortly after that, that's kind of when we headed to the party, which is I think because so many people are not quite used to the festival thing and it because it's not like a secret that it's outdoors and there wasn't a pull open people didn't quite know what to do you know during the day so I think we were definitely not alone with getting out about that time that seemed about the average time people were getting out yeah and then we really just kind of went in from there to our night portion of just you know dancing So I think one night you DJed at 8 and one night you DJed at 9. Yeah, it was 8 Friday, 9 Saturday. And so what you and I did is that hour before you went on, we kind of took that as like our rest break. Yeah, I wanted to shower. You know, I've been running around and sweaty. You had like your staff shirt on all day. So that gave you an opportunity to shower, change. We had dinner. You know, I think Friday night I'll change into my lingerie during that time. later because I really liked my outfit during the day Saturday. So that was kind of how we kind of, you know, if you go to a traditional hotel takeover or like a secrets or something when there's a pool, there's a definite like division of time where you have that opportunity to go and rest and change. And this doesn't quite have that. So you almost have to make your own. Yeah, there's been some talk about should we program in a break an hour kind of like secrets? Should we go to a little six, seven? do like a two hour break and then come back like is that something we should program in to the schedule tell us what do y'all think so i'm curious what people think about that because i do think like at secrets it works but then but you're also transitioning from the pool to the club right so you you need to go shower you need to yeah well our next one that's in june in chattanooga is very much right centric we're going to have a stage and a dj out by the pool so like maybe that's a good opportunity to test that and see how that goes yeah run the dj by the pool to like seven and then take a two hour break. Or maybe like just put a playlist on. So there's music, you know, like for people that are like lingering, but maybe not like a full on DJ out there. I will say, you know, we've been, I won't say which ones, but we have been to other hotel takeovers in like four o'clock in the afternoon by the pool. They just shut the music off. Yeah. And then you don't get music again till nine o'clock at night. And I don't like that. Like I hate killing the vibe like that. Cause then somebody has to like bring out their, usually somebody will bring out a Bluetooth speaker and the party will keep going. But, uh, I would love to keep I want to keep the vibes going all weekend long. I don't really want there to be any hard stops, but you are right. We could throw a playlist on and kind of maybe, you know, turn the music down a little bit and kind of encourage people to transition. Yeah, but without ending the part. Right, yeah. So you DJ'd. Well, first of all, all the DJ's again killed it. You DJ'd at some point. You, baby, you did so good. Yeah, it was filthy frequency to me to I think Uma to Joe to Max, I think was the lineup. And Sophie and Justin and all of them were earlier in the day. Sunshine was in there in the evening. Oh, Sunshine was in there after me, I think. Yeah, I think it was Sunshine, Joe, and then Sunshine, Juan Deepa, and then Max. Yeah. So you did so good. Everybody was like, oh my God, Dan is so good. You were very complimented. I was very proud of you. I will say at one point, Daphne and I decided we were getting drunk. You and Daphne. So if you were at Electric Pleasures this weekend, you got to see Lucy, which is my drunk wife. That's your drunk name. I think it was just like we and you know, when I say get drunk, I had like two shots. Like I wasn't like I have video. So here's all right. So something we haven't mentioned yet. One, the pole dancers. So Ali and Frack pole dance. Friday and Saturday night crushed it. Yeah. Second is we brought in go-go dancers locally from Atlanta. They were adorable and also crushed it. Yeah. Professional. Right. And so on Friday night they had on these hat things that were like visors that they could see through. Yeah. Somehow you Daphne and Tennessee girl Nicole got similar visors like bingo the clear plastic visors. I think they Where did they come from? I think they came from Diana. But we all had one. Why did they have? Why would? I don't know. But we were auditioning for the role of go-go dancers. Right. So because these hats were similar to the ones that the go-go dancers were, once you girls put these hats on, you thought you had to be go-go dancers. Yeah, except for we have no skill. So we were doing the running man. You were trying to do the moves they were doing or similar moves to that or your own. of those movies. It was an interpretation of those movies. We did The Running Man, where you start up the lawnmower, the sprinkler. There's quite a few videos, and it is hilarious of us. You were doing it on the stage. You were doing it in front of the stage. You were doing it in front of the go-go dancers at one point in time, which they probably hated you. They probably thought you were making fun of them. No, not at all. No, they were wonderful. What you were really doing is aspiring to Yeah, I wanted to be them when I grew up. And at one point, we ended up in the boys' bathroom. You did. Why? I don't really know. Yeah. I don't know how we got there. I remember being in the girl. I mean, not that I don't remember. I just, I do remember, but I just don't remember the reason. Was it out of toilet paper or? I kind of feel like maybe there wasn't napkins for my hands. I was trying to wash my hands and I saw somebody took us into the boys'. I don't know. You were on a, journey. It was fun. I had a great time. I mean, I wasn't like so hammered I couldn't consent. I was just feeling very loosey-goosey. You know, like I felt very like, like I just wanted to laugh. Very similar to like if I had taken a gummy or something, you know, just like happy. That's what I actually asked you. I said, did you take a gummy? Like what is going on? I was just very happy. You're like, no, just Fireball. Just Fireball. I'm just happy to be here. And I was making out with boys for bringing me Fireball. We were sending out texts, who has the Fireball? SLS couple or they're the VIP couple. We called him everything. He always has Fireball. And so I was like, I went up to him. I was like, do you have any Fireball? And his face like melted. He was like, no, I don't. I drank it all. So Avenger couple had some. So he came down and me and Daphne were making out with him. Bob from Naughty in New Orleans was there. Yeah, I'm a little worried what he thinks of us. What you said to him? No. I think me and Daphne were play fighting in the hallway though. Like. One thing that didn't get mentioned is Bob and his wife Friday night came out in Mexican garb. They were dressed up in some kind of. He told me the back story. Like there were costumes and because a lot of the Mexican people didn't have a lot of money to make costumes. They would like rip like fabric and make these costumes. out of these ripped pieces of fabric. So that was the origin story behind it. I don't know what they were called. Well, and the funny thing is this was, I mean, it's a full head to toe. His face was covered. He had like this beard looking thing. So like in the costume, you could not tell who they were. No, but I wanted to record him. Precious Lacey goes up to him while he's dancing on the dance floor. He's dancing right in front of the LED wall. There's no one around him. Nobody behind him. And she goes up to him and she goes, excuse me, would it be okay if I record you? And Bob was, he told me later, he's like, she was so cute. Like, good on her for coming and asking. I'm not going to, like, record you. Even though you couldn't see him, I wasn't going to record him without his consent. Yeah. So. He appreciated that. So. Yeah. That was funny. Yeah. And you girls running around all night. I don't know. There's lots of tape and it's, it's pretty hilarious. Yeah. It's. So, I mean, and at some point you, I think you thought I was drunker than I was because you said that, because me and her, to me and her and Mike went to the room to change. Okay, yeah. So the story on that is usually when Lacey starts getting tipsy, she starts doing cartwheels or gymnastics. And that is usually a sign that Lacey is on her way to going to bed. Yeah. And you were not doing your traditional gymnastics. There was no cartwheels. No, I was just happy. There was no tumbles. But when I saw you doing the go-go dancing routine, I thought this is just a different version of that. Yeah. Right. And so I said to a few of the husbands, I said, set your watch one hour from now. Lacey is going to be in the bed and you're like that. That's going to be it for her. No. Spoiler. I was up till three. And it was about 45 minutes later. You and Daphne came up and you said, hey, we're going to go back to the room and change or do something. Right. I think we knew we were getting ready to play. Right. So at this point, think about it, though. I get what you're saying, but I hadn't had any fireball or anything else drinking. Probably like an hour or two, you know, an hour and a half. Christian, two hours. So I had started to sober up. Had you kept drinking, I probably would have been correct. So you pulled back on the reins and stopped yourself. There was no more fireball. We drank it all. Because there was like little shots. So I said to the guys, she's going to bed. Like she's not going to end up in the playroom. You're like, we're not going to the playroom tonight. Lacey's going to be in bed. So I went and changed, me and Daphne and Mike. We went and then we came back and we were ready. And so like at some point you had come to the room because I can remember So there's also a radio that I decided to, like a walkie-talkie, and I sung strawberry wine. Right. So this is the radio that we use for communication between our team, between security and the front desk. I told everybody that you were not circumcised. Our operations manager. Lacey got on said radio and was singing songs and was talking about my penis. And it's not professional. People are, there's probably other podcasters who are critiquing this behavior. Well, I was a good time. So whatever. Podcasters are going to critique me no matter if I do everything perfect or if I fuck up. So, you know, I had fun and I didn't hurt anybody. So we're all as well. Yeah. Okay. So at some point, I remember you. Right. So people had got me and said, no, Lacey wants to go to the playroom. Lacey wants to play. Okay. So in earlier in the night, I was sitting up on the stage and talking to Bobby, which is our partner, one of our partners in Electric Pleasures. and we were looking out at the stage and so again like we talked about before right the the main ballroom was three sections two sections were the the main stage and then one section was the playroom and i don't know if i think he has said to me wouldn't it be cool if we could open up that wall and the playroom just be part of the the party right it just be there just be in immersed basically in the party yeah i was like that would be cool yeah and at this time when he said this i i i was still have the mind that you're probably going to bed So then when you're like Playroom, and everybody's like Playroom, and we're getting a group together to the Playroom, and I got you off the radio singing Strawberry Wine, I actually got on the radio and I messaged, I said, Bobby, get your radio on. He's like, yeah. I said, we're headed to the Playroom if you want to open the wall. It was actually really cool. So like as we're walking in there, like pushing the wall back, and so now we can completely see the DJ, we can see the dance floor, and there was still a There's a lot of party happening. Is this midnight? Probably pushing 1 a.m. about the time this happens. Yeah. So it was super cool. So what I didn't realize. So I messaged Bobby on the radio and I said, Bobby, open the wall. He's like, all right, give me five minutes, right? What I didn't realize, what I don't know, I didn't know about walls and ballrooms is you need a key to unlock the wall. How do you get the key? The maintenance guy who runs this hotel stays there. Yeah. He stays actually in the hotel next door in a And so Bobby in no more than 10-15 minutes managed to wake up because it's 1 o'clock in the morning. I had no idea. The maintenance manager. Oh, now I feel bad. A very nice Hispanic man. Oh, he's very nice. Just amazing. Yeah. He wakes him up, gets him to the main ballroom, gets the wall unlocked. Did we tip him? Yes, we tipped him. Thank God. Gets the wall unlocked. And as our group is walking into the ballroom, they're pushing the wall. Yeah. Like it was perfect timing. Perfect timing. Yeah. So we immediately just kind of like went into play. And honestly, I don't know how people were invited. I don't know who told people to come. I don't know any of that. I just know that we got in there. Like some of our friends had left and went to play. But some of them ended up in there. So shout out to the ones that ended up in the playroom. The, you know, the hardcore. Yeah. The loyal. Not anybody else. I don't blame them. I would have went and fucked in private. Yeah, me too. Probably two hours before that. Yeah. So, but it was really, it was a lot of fun. We orgied. Just like a few honorable mentions. One was I was fucking someone. I'll just say someone. And there was this lady. Yes. Fangirl. She was fangirling. She had a fan, like a, like a electric fan, electric fan. And as I was on my back and the I was on top of me. Fucking not missionary, but not not missionary. He had you folded up like a pretzel. Yeah. And as she's fucking, or as he's fucking me, she is fanning our bodies to cool us off. Yeah. And she's like encouraging. She's like, is that all you got? Is that all you got? To the guy. To the guy. Fuck her harder. Fuck her. And me and him are like, what the fuck? Is this real life? You kept laughing. You were stopping laughing. Because there was like, when else would this ever happen? You know? And the lady was as sweet as she could possibly be. Yeah. Beautiful. I think. They were not disrespectful. They actually came up to me and said, how do I get in on this? And I said, well, what you need to do is if you want to play with somebody, you need to ask that person. I said, give everybody some space. But if there's somebody that looks like they are available and you want to play with them, approach them. So the single male, he was like, okay. And he went and he approached two or three girls. I think they all said no thank you. Me, me and one of them. But when they said no thank you, he was polite. He backed up. He was a very good looking guy. It was just that nobody knew him. He was just sort of standing. Hanging out. It gave off. Lurking a little bit. It gave off a weird vibe. He could have been a very wonderful guy. Had that man climbed in the bed with you with a fan, you probably would have felt uncomfortable. I think that's a little bit of gender privilege or whatever you want to call that. Yeah, for sure. Another time that I can think of something funny. At one point, I'm sitting on your face sucking two dicks. I remember this and you like start tapping me and apparently I'd put all my weight down on your face. Yeah. So somebody with riding me that I'm a very big fan of riding me and you jumped on my face which I love that. I love eating your pussy or anybody's pussy and getting fucked at the same time. That's a very pleasurable experience for me. And then while you were doing that two of the other guys came up and stood up. So you're sitting on my face. I'm you know somebody else is riding my dick. And these two guys stand up on either side of me and you. And you're giving a double-handed blowjob. Slash handjob. Well, I think you forgot I was underneath you. I did. And you went from weight on your knees. Like hovering. To your entire weight on my face. And listen, I have said in the past several times, like some women are very cautious to put weight onto your face. Yeah. Like, no, sit on my face. I was probably dead weight. You were dead weight. And it was like, it wasn't so much, it was more like you were squishing my lips into my teeth and that was painful and my nose was like sideways. And so it wasn't, it wasn't even like you were sitting on my mouth. You were like crushing my face. Yeah. Yeah. Sorry about that. So I had to like tap and like, yeah, because I might've died. Yeah. Had you. Thank God. I mean, it was, what a good way, what a good way to go. I literally could have suffocated. Yeah. Yeah. So another thing I can mention is at one point I was fucking or finishing up or something. And I looked up and there was a double blow job of a guy and a girl giving a guy a blow job. So I love that that happened and happened and they felt safe because by play, especially with males, you know, can be intimidating. So I'm very happy. In public spaces. Yes. In public spaces. A lot of areas you'll see. they have dedicated spaces for that. And we've had some conversations on whether that is inclusive or exclusive when you do that. You know, I have mixed feelings still. We don't have the answer. You know, I've talked to people that say that they like that there's a safe space where they can feel safe to do that. And I've talked to other people that say by identifying that space, it is. Yeah. It's almost like you're saying they can't play. So there was a little of pride internally for that. And I will say on that note, I actually had a conversation with somebody. about that on whether same-sex sex, and I think they didn't say, but I'm assuming they were talking about male-male, would be allowed in that space, and I said, I will fight somebody if they say that it cannot happen in that space, right? Yeah, we were having an open, that was our work, we have a work chat, and that was one of the questions somebody had asked, and we were like, we dare someone to say something, because we will be the first, you know, to stand up and fight for those people. So I also just wanted to give a shout out. I'm not going to name your names because I don't think that's necessary. But you know who you are. The ones that engaged in that. Thank you for showing people that it's okay and being brave. So that was I think worth mentioning. I agree. Anything else from the orgy that you. The only other thing I would mention is that once we open the doors. That playroom that play space was the busiest it had been all weekend. I think just having it open we did get some surveys saying that it should have been open the whole time I don't I don't necessarily agree with that I do think that maybe like nine or ten o'clock maybe it should have opened I do think that if we use that hotel in the future in that it's like the truth is we probably will never have another setup just like that but if we if we go back there I definitely think that's something that we yeah I think I can't remember the time but I think the play space was open like 10 p.m. to like 3 a.m. yeah so I could see maybe like when it 12, 30? Yeah. No, I think because if people want it, I think you give people an opportunity to play with it close, right? So that if they're not comfortable with it being a big open room. But if you split it in half, if you said, okay, from 10 to 12, 30, it's closed. And from 12, 30 to three, it's open. Then, you know, especially put that on the schedule. I think people could then make a decision on what time they'd like to do it. Because I'm sure there's people that would not want that. And there were probably people that would. So I think giving both an opportunity could have been beneficial. For sure. But it was kind of, it was a win. We did it on a whim. And again, a thing that I like about our business partners is that they're flexible like that. And I think it ended up being a great thing. Yeah. So after we finished up, me and Mike and Daphne went back to the room and you had to stay and make sure everything was finished and cut off and all that. But me and Daphne stayed up and laughed and Mike was like, y'all, it's three o'clock in the morning. Like, y'all need to go to bed. But we laughed. And if you watch my Day in the Life vlogs, you can see some of it. But we had so much fun. Yeah. So again, the music was supposed to cut off at 2 a.m. Yeah. DJ Sunshine again at 2 a.m. was like, this party's not over. And I was like, all right. He's so cute. I got you, bro. Like, do your thing. So he hopped up there for a while. The party was still not over. Yeah. So then Justin, Justin Time, DJ Justin Time, was like, uh, I will DJ. Uh, and so then he hopped on there. I think the music went until about four o'clock in the morning. Yeah. If I remember to about four o'clock in the morning. Uh, and even then it was kind of like, okay, we, we have to get up in a couple hours. We've got to break all this down. Love you guys. But you know, yeah, go play music in your room quietly. Yeah. So after that, you came to the room and you and I went to sleep. No. So I walk in the room. This is, So I walk in the room and I'm fully expecting Lacey's going to be asleep. Daphne's going to be asleep. Like I'm thinking like I'm opening the door quietly trying not to wait. No. Daphne and I were in the bed together. You and Daphne are in the bed eating cheese. Dip. And chips. Chips and cheese. Dip. From lunch or dinner. And laughing hysterically. I don't even know. And I think you were actually on your phone. We were watching our TikTok. Replaying your TikTok slash your go-go dancer. auditions slash who knows whatever else was on your phones and just giggling like children yeah we were having fun uh which honestly i was surprised at because i thought you'd be sleeping but to warm my heart quite a bit um you know you've been on this emotional roller coaster lately uh you know again we talked about this a lot with you know your hormones and uh that like you said you even at the at this party, you were on that rollercoaster. We were a little worried going into it. A little bit. And so to see you all night long, really, but even here at 4.30 in the morning, it reminded me, you know, I can think of like, you know, we say like children, but I can remember like having sleepovers with your friends, you know, when you were middle school, high school age and staying up all night and laughing about stupid stuff and solving all the world's problems and connecting with people like that. And I think as part of what the magic of the lifestyle is, is we grow up and we forget to have fun like that. We forget to connect with other people besides our partner and even maybe even with our partner like that. You know, this whole idea of playing in the lifestyle, you know, some people don't like that term because, you know. But I think that that's part of what the magic is, right? Is it's letting go of all of the life's adult problems and just being there in an authentic moment with your friends and having silly goofy fun and maybe sexual fun you know pleasurable fun yeah uh and it's okay to do that and i think it's okay to do that yeah on it so it's good to see you guys doing that it was fun i enjoyed it and so after that we went to bed and then sunday we got up daphne and mike left and you had to go tear down so we ended you ended up working all day. Seven, eight hours on Sunday. We didn't even get home until about midnight on Sunday night. Or maybe 11. It was an hour difference. I think it was close to midnight when we got back. And yeah, we've just kind of been recouping the last couple of days. The trailer's still full. We haven't unpacked anything. We have secrets in a couple weeks. So we are just, you know. Unpack, reset, repack. Yeah. We have three weeks off, which is lovely. So I'm looking forward to that. Yeah. And that sums up Electric Pleasures. Yeah. Really great event. I think this is building. I think this brand is building. And we're learning. So many people came up to us over the weekend and was like, this is amazing. You know, Bob from Naughty in New Orleans was there. You know, he said a lot of positive things. I think everybody that was there felt it. I definitely felt it at Gulf Breeze when we did that event. And I think, you know, this one, it's continuing to grow. I'm really excited for Chattanooga. This is going to be a warm pool party outdoors with music. You know, we're hoping maybe to bring in some food trucks and stuff and really give it that festival vibe. And then we're going to move indoors into the club at night, you know, small spaces. And, you know, it's going to be it's going to be something. So if you haven't had the opportunity to attend an Electric Pleasures event, I really, you know, June Chattanooga, it's Pride Month. We're really leaning into celebrating Pride. We're leaning into the pride colors. I don't care who you are. I don't care if you're straight, bi, trans, if you're a swinger, not a swinger, you're a kink person. If you are looking for an event, just a vanilla person that you just want to come out and have fun with people. That's what this event's about. If you like music, if you like to dance, if you like pool parties, you're welcome here. You're safe here. Nobody's going to force you to do or pressure you to do anything that you don't want to do uh so go check it out and you can swingerside.net has the links to all the electric pleasures parties or you can go electric-pleasures.com i think if you just search electric pleasures parties google that or something you'll probably find us um that way yep uh but we'd love to see you uh other than that we got secrets in three weeks like you said it's a sold out event day passes are always available there are there's a recommended if you go to swingerside.net there's And then while we're on the topic of secrets, just if you want to go to a secret, like if you wanted to go to this one and didn't get a room, now is the time to start planning because we will release the next secrets at this current secrets. But only to the people that are there. But only to the people that are there. But if you are not there and you know, hey, I need to be in line whenever it becomes available to the open public, go ahead and get a diamond membership on swingersidey.net it opens up the week after yeah to them so so definitely now's the time to start because the problem is it's like literally right now we are getting several emails a day to be added to the wait list and we are it's been sold out for five months not exaggerating we've probably had over a hundred couples message us trying to get on the waiting list and so you know you want to go in sept it's in september If you know you want to go, go ahead and start kind of pre-planning. Figure out how you're going to pay for it. Obviously, we have down payments. I think you can put down like $100. It's not a whole lot. Go ahead and just start making plans. Sign up to be a Diamond member so you have one of the first few accesses to it if you're not at Secrets. We'll be excited to do it again in September. I don't know if you can pull up the flyer and give the exact details. It's something different we're doing at this Secrets that we haven't done in the past. So normally on Sundays at Secrets, you have to go get in line and book your room for the next Secrets, right? It's first come, first serve, whoever's in that line. This time, to help avoid the craziness of the line, what we're doing, it's a week or two before Secrets. I can give you the date. It's 4-1 through 4-12. So April 1st to April 12th, we're giving those people who have a room for this secrets, the opportunity to rebook that same room. You can't change rooms, but that same room for the next secrets. So that way you don't have to get up and get in line. If you already have the room, you can save it for the next secrets. Now, if you want to change anything or anything like that. You got to get back in line. You got to get back in line. But if you are comfortable with the room that you're in and you want to save it, all you have to do is email mandy at swingersidey.net. Again, we've sent out newsletters. We've put out the flyers. So definitely, I know a lot of people don't read all that stuff. So if you're going to Secrets and that's something that you're interested in, go and find that. Set a reminder on your phone or whatever because these are selling out quicker and quicker. Yeah, and that's part of the point. So if you have a room, you can save it. And we've got a little criticism about if that's fair or not. But from my perspective and Lacey's perspective, if you're going to come to Every Secrets and you're going to book ahead of time and you want to save your room and come back to the next Secrets, why would I not let you? you know, like I want to reward the people that are loyal to us and that to come to every party. Right. And I realized that might lead into a situation where you like have to like get grandfathered into a room. But I think that's a good problem to have. Like, you know, like I'm so thankful that so many of our friends come to every single one of these and get really invested in their rooms and attached to them. And that it's, you know, it means something to come back year after year after year and party with us in that room. So I want to give them their to the people that are loyal and come every time. And there's, don't trust me, if rooms will open up, there'll be rooms available for you. And, you know, just really any room works, right? You're not in your room very much anyway. So I think people put sometimes too much thought into the room stuff. But yeah, so the 1st through the 12th, if you have a room and you want to rebook it for the next Secrets, which is in September, I don't know if I know the exact dates. Yeah, I just had them. Hold on, I can tell you. For our next Secrets, we'd love to be able to, It's September 17th through the 19th. Right. And then that will go on sale to the people at Secrets on Sunday. It goes to sale to Diamond members the week after. And then if there are still rooms available, it'll go open to the public after that. Yeah. So Diamond member sale starts April 24th and public sale is May 1st. Okay. So just put those notes, put those down if you're thinking about that. Secrets has turned into a whole thing. Yeah. I'm very appreciative. We put a lot of work in the Secrets and We've been building that for years now. And so the fact that people love it so much, I appreciate it. I know the staff at Secrets loves our group and loves what we do and looks forward to having us there every time. Same. I love going. All right. Well, anything else for the Swing Nation listeners?
