Hey there, pineapple people. And welcome to the swing nation podcast. We are your host, Northern guy and Southern girl. And today we are talking about naughty New Orleans. We are. We just got back. We did. We are still recovering. We are. I do not think I am caught up on sleep yet. Yeah, not quite. I could sleep for about a week, I think. And then maybe I have a chance of recovery. Well, and what's crazy is we leave for Hedo. Next Friday, so it's Wednesday. Yeah, so about a week from when you hear this. So we really don't have a lot of time. And I haven't even unzipped my suitcase. I just put all my dirty laundry in the laundry today. I need to do that. So we got to get our shit together. But here we are. But here we are. Yes, it's podcast time. All right. So Naughty New Orleans is a Wednesday? Is that when it officially starts? Yeah, it's Wednesday through Sunday. It's like a swinger convention slash hotel takeover slash networking event for us. You know, to most people, you probably wouldn't even notice it. But in the crowd, while you're partying, you're partying with some of the like most well-known swinger people, maybe not even publicly well-known, but privately well-known. You're talking about club owners and website owners and brands and sponsors there. So for us, from a business standpoint, it's very beneficial just from that aspect. Yeah, I would say Naughty New Orleans is probably the closest thing the lifestyle has to like a national convention. Yeah. You know, maybe there's one I don't know about, but I doubt it. But it is not only the largest swimmer party each year, But it is the closest thing that I would say to a national convention. So like Lacey's saying, club owners from across the country come to this event. People that run all the different hotel takeovers come to the event. Usually there's representatives from some of the big websites like Cassidy and SDC and some of those. Modern lifestyle that we use. Right. They come to the event. And so just from a business aspect, Bob does, he's the owner of Naughty, Bob and Tess. They do a very good job of including everybody. Because let's be honest, most businesses, especially lifestyle businesses, can be kind of cutthroat. You know, everybody wants to be the best at whatever they do. But you kind of get that. But Bob does a really good job of bringing together all these owners instead of kind of dividing them. He really, it's important for him to work together. Like he says, have a bigger pie instead of... A bigger piece. A bigger piece. So for us, it's, you know, it's, it's kind of wonderful. We really enjoy going and fostering those relationships that we make every year on top of the amazing party that it is. Right. Yeah. So the, the general layout of Naughty New Orleans is it is a hotel takeover and they actually take over three hotels. Yeah. The main hotel of which is the Astor, which is right on Bourbon Street. Yeah. It's kind of on the corner of Bourbon and Canal. Yeah. And it's, It kind of changes every year. I feel like they're trying to find the best layout. And I do feel like this year, they kind of nailed it, in my opinion. I felt like pretty much everything was at the Aster, minus the Dungeon was at the Nobsy. And I think they had, like, to me, the Nobsy seemed kind of more like Kinksters, where the Aster seemed more like Swinger. So I felt like that. Not that these, Not that those two parts need to be divided. They don't. In a perfect world, we could all be together and all marry. But the problem is he's just ran out of square footage. They don't make a hotel big enough. Yeah. So I think like last time they were hosting parties at Nopsy. So you kind of had to decide if you wanted to go to the Nopsy or the Astor. And this year just all the parties were at the Astor. And I just felt like it was easier from like a person that was there's perspective. Now we did. host one pool party at the Nazi, because they just have a better pool set up. But for the most part, everything was at the Aster. So if you're thinking about going in 2026 or whatever year, the way it works is when you book Naughty, they fill up the Aster crown first, and then they move into these second and third hotels. So if you know you want to go, I highly recommend booking sooner rather than later, because that way you have have a hotel at the Astro Crown. And just like a little, we're kind of off topic here, but not a little like insider point of view, you can do a payment plan with Naughty, which is awesome. So you split it in half and I don't have it right in front of me, but from years past, it's between seven and $800. So that's divided into two payments. So when you book it, you pay the first half. The second half, you don't pay until around May of, so for 2026, you would make a payment now if you booked it now. And then the rest of the convention price you would book in May 2026. The hotel, they just store your information, your card information. And then you get charged for your hotel room in June of 2026. And Naughty does a really good job of sending emails saying, hey, next week is the hotel charge date. Keep an eye out. So you have plenty of notice. So it's not like you're coming out of your pocket all of this money at once. They do a really good job of breaking it up. more affordable if that's something that concerns you. Right. Okay. So they take over the three hotels. And then in addition to that, they do parties on Bourbon Street. Yes. And the parties are closed door parties. So they basically take over bars. And what they do is, you know, all the vanillas are usually the bars are opening earlier than they normally would. And what they do is they put security out front and you have to have a naughty New Orleans lanyard to get into the bar. So all the bars are kind of swing or takeovers. And there's usually two or three going at a time. Yeah, which is cool because like if you go in one and maybe it's not your vibe, you can go to the next. And they're typically just a few doors down from each other. I mean, Bourbon Street's not that long anyway. I mean, it's a couple blocks, but usually you can just walk a couple, you know, a block and it's right there. So. Right. And then like Lacey said, and additionally during the day that they have the Bourbon Street parties, they usually have pool parties going on. And even to that, they usually have classes and panels and even some of the paid classes like, you know, how to give a good blowjob or sensual touch or, you know, there's some pay classes that you can take as well. So it's really whatever you want to do. Like if you are new and maybe you would like to learn, I mean, just some examples of classes like Women in the Lifestyle Ask Us Anything, a panel. There's panels on how to give blowjob. There's panels about communication. There's squirting. Squirting. There's Robert with Shameless Care teaches several. Usually STI or STD. Yeah, just like anything you, like any question you have in the lifestyle, there's probably a class for it. Jealousy, whatever you can think of. And the bulk of them are free. So, I mean, but there are some that are taught by like real professionals that do have somewhat of a cost, but I would say most of them are free. And so it's really whatever you want to make of Noddy. really a bourbon street party kind of couple you could do the panels and classes or maybe if you like a little bit of both you can do that or if you're a partier you can you can definitely find a party yeah and then in addition to that they do some like uh almost like meet and greets um you know so there's like the 40 and up crowd they also did some locations this year like swingers in the south swingers in the north so i saw one swingers in gulf coast area so they have that uh speed day They had a naughty Simon Says class that they did. So all kinds of just kind of mixers, which those are good if you're somebody that's not good at like approaching people or meeting people, you know, going to something like speed dating or naked speed dating or Simon Says or some of these other like different meet and greet opportunities, I think would be good. Yeah, for sure. Okay, so that's the gist of Naughty in New Orleans. It's honestly one of our favorite events. I think I forget. each year. So like we go to Naughty, I'm like, oh my gosh, this is amazing. Best thing ever. And then we kind of party all year and I kind of forget. And then we go back to Naughty and I'm like, oh my God, yes, this is amazing. I definitely think that if you are a lifestyle person, I think there are like, you need to go to Naughty, you need to go to Hedo, you need to go on a bliss cruise, you need to go to secrets. Like obviously you can't do those all at one time. So like maybe that's like a five year goal, do one each year or something like that. Those are like the mecca of swinging. Like you kind of need to experience all those in some way. Yeah. Definitely a lofty goal at least. Yeah. Okay. So we left off. We had just decided to come in on Tuesday. Now as we're pulling into New Orleans and getting ready to get to the hotel, you are already stressing out. Well, to me, the getting out of the vehicle on Bourbon Street or Canal and Bourbon and then On the flip side, loading up to leave. Those are the two most stressful situations for me. Because there's a lot of moving parts. One, there's a lot of traffic. So we have to get your big ass truck up there and not block anybody. So that's stressful. We also have a lot of stuff. This year, we kind of went overboard and hosted three parties, as well as having a table set up at Naughty. So we had a lot of stuff. We had a cart. of like a hotel cart like a pink cart that you pull like a beach cart like a beach cart and then we had a dolly that can lay flat all of that was full of stuff not to mention i was still pulling my suitcase i think so just to me that is the hardest part about naughty is getting pulling up getting our stuff off the off the truck on the cart and getting to our room because not to mention there are so many people walking and not all of them are like the best citizens, you know, like a lot of them are homeless or begging for money or I don't know. It just so like I have my crossbody purse and then I have like my big purse that carries like all my overflow that I use like when I travel and so you wouldn't want to leave stuff on. Yeah. So I'm like carrying both my purses as we're like unload. I don't know. It's just it's pretty stressful. So like as we started pulling into New Orleans, I've started like, OK, Lacey, we can do this. We can get through this. It's going to be OK. It's okay. It's temporary. I was trying to build my stamina, build my energy. It's going to be okay. Now, if you are flying there and Ubering and you have two suitcases, this is a non-issue. But if you are a driver and you overpack, this is an issue. Yeah. If you have a three-quarter ton truck, you almost couldn't fit another box in if you needed to. Yeah. Okay. But it actually went pretty smooth this year. It did. Normally, I make notes each night. We did a video this time, and it's us drunk in the hotel room. Talking about what happened that day. And it's quite hilarious. But one of the, we just listened to it right before. I was like, nobody cried. Nobody cussed. We did it together. So yeah, it was actually not bad at all. A little stressful, but it went smoother than I thought it would. All right. So then we take our beach cart and our dolly cart up to our room. But then the way it works is you have to wait for the concierge to bring your actual luggage to the room. So when he showed up to her room, I was actually in the bathroom using the bathroom. And you're like, Dan, he's here. He's here. I need money for a tip. No, I didn't think about a tip. So, you know, he helps me unload all this stuff. And you'd normally handle that kind of thing. So it's not really my typical. But I'm in the bathroom. He's in the bathroom. So the guy helps me take everything off. He said, do you have anything else for me? and just looked straight at me and I was like, oh, he needs a tip. So I'm like, and the guy's standing right outside the bathroom. So like I run into the bathroom, but I'm like, I need cash. Well, you only had a 20. So I gave the guy the 20 and he was like, okay, thanks. And I'm just like, I was like, I guess I've never had anybody just blatantly ask for a tip. Like, is that normal? No, no, I should tip. I just didn't, it wasn't on my mind. I was like some, I was just, Anxious about getting all this stuff in. So anyway, then I saw him in the hallway later. He like really smiled at me and I was like, dude, I gave you that because you basically like scared me into giving you $20. Okay, so we got all... But I'm normally a really good tipper. He just, I don't know, I just kind of threw me back because he was like, basically like, okay, give me my tip now. Well, the funny thing about tipping is since Naughty in New Orleans, there's been a lot of like TikTok videos. and stuff. And people that are local to New Orleans took videos of us in the parade and different things. And some of the comments on the TikToks are, I love it when they're here. Swingers are the best tippers. Oh, I always tip really well. Like, don't give me the check because I will way over tip. But I don't know. It just kind of freaked me out. I guess we're just really friendly. I guess. Maybe. But it is funny to me that the locals in New Orleans know that when the swingers come that they're the best tippers. That's good. I like that. Yeah. I do too. So, he left and we unpacked our room, kind of got situated. We tend to do that when we travel for anything over like two days because if not, we're just, I mean, there's going to be shit everywhere regardless, but I feel like if we don't sort of unpack and get organized, it just is way worse. So, Hedo, Bliss Cruise, you know, anywhere where we're going to be somewhere for more than like a night or two, we try to organize the room. Like you said, it still explodes, but at least it's not the entire suitcase exploding at once. Yeah. And then after that, we loaded up and went and set up our table. So a lot of the party, kind of like the hub of everything at Naughty is on the second floor of the Astro Crown. Which is all the like convention rooms. Yeah. So that's where you're going to have your classes most of the time. That's where the ballrooms are. There's a lot of bars there so you can get your drinks. And then lining the walls is going to be the tables for different things, different podcasts, different clubs, hotel, takeover groups, you name it. They're all up there. And they had the body painters were up there. There was a couple of different vendors, one that was selling earrings. There's some people that were selling like T-shirts and things like that. Eye Candy was there with their stuff and the Eye Candy energy drinks. Hot Wife Porn Documentary? I guess that's the way you describe it. Anyway, that's kind of where everything is. So we set up our table. And so last year, we've had a table there pretty much. This is our fourth year going. We've had a table every year. But for some reason, last year, our table looked like shit. I was like. I think we were just coming back from something and then going. So we just there wasn't much time to think about it. Yeah. And so after we left last year, we have a contact. that helps us with backdrops and banners and stuff. I text him and I was like, we have to be better next year. And so I was very proud of our setup. We had a backdrop and our table. And because there is so many people at Naughty, you have to come with a lot of giveaways. And they are vultures. Like every time you leave your table, you come back and there is literally nothing left. We probably came with $250 worth of blow pops. And every time we came back to our table, they were completely gone. Yeah, we had to like pace it. You couldn't put it all out at once. No. You have to like slow feed them. You have to put stuff out for people to take. You don't have to, but that's kind of what everybody did. So we decided to do stickers this year because one, they're cheaper than your average thing. And two, everybody uses them. Like a lot of people put them on their coolers, their cups, stuff like that. And so we just went in with a lot of our like merch designs and just made a sticker version of that. And then we did like a cartoon of me and you, which nobody. No, they did. That was the last one they picked, though. That was the last. It was always the one that didn't run out. Which is funny. But our friends typically like them. But I get if you don't know the person, why would you want? A sticker of somebody else's face. Yeah, I get it. But they were cute because they were in our Mardi Gras outfits from last year. So I thought they were cute. But yeah, so we just, we basically ran out of almost all of our stickers. And we had hundreds of each. Yeah. Which is crazy. We had 500 shot glasses. I think we ended up with some left just because we ran out of time setting up. But we could have easily given all of those away. But yeah. And it's funny because Hot Georgia Couple was there and she was like, oh my God, every time I fill up my snack, like she had some candies up. I was like, oh yeah, they take it every single thing. Yeah, we've gotten better over the years. We've learned. Yes, we've learned. Kind of what it takes to keep that table going. Yeah. But it did good. The table looked good, like you said. Yeah, it looked really good. We were kind of in the corner this year, which is kind of a good thing and a bad thing. Last year, I felt like a lot of people sat on our table, like leaned on it, set their drinks on it. So that was the issue. I feel like maybe didn't get quite seen as much this year because it was a little bit in the corner. But it was great. Agreed. Okay. So we got the table set up. And then what happened? After that, Dan and I went to eat at the Bourbon House, which is actually in the Astor. Because we typically don't have a lot of time to eat while we're at Naughty. We do a lot of DoorDash and stuff. So we knew this might be like our only opportunity to have like New Orleans type food. So we did that. Which is funny. In our notes, our video notes, I said, we did what your normal couple did. And we sat there and played on our phones across from each other. Yeah, I think I was supposed to get TikTok. But it was good. We had been in the car for like seven hours that day together. So we were just kind of like a little bit like over it. But still love each other. Of course. That's a good, the restaurant that's, so this is the restaurant that's attached to the Astor. And just so you know, if you end up going to Naughty in New Orleans, that actually is a pretty good restaurant. Like the food there is always, Yeah, it's very good. And it's super convenient. I love their crab calls, but they give me indigestion, even though I take indigestion medicine. Yeah. So, well, this is all of New Orleans. All the food is kind of Cajun spice. Yeah, which I love. They put Cajun spice on their French fries. They put it on all their food. Like just about everything that you order and eat in New Orleans has that Cajun spice on it. I love that. But I've learned to pace myself with the Cajun stuff because like in the past years, I've eaten a ton of it at the beginning. and then kind of felt sick for the bulk of it. So I've tried to, you know, not do too much. Yeah. Because I think I ordered like a filet steak and I think it had Cajun season on it. And I was like, oh, they put it on everything. They do. Yeah. So after dinner, we went back to our room and we had decided to go to Colette. So Colette New Orleans works very closely with Naughty. Again, Bob and Tess with Naughty do a really good job of including local clubs, other groups. I mean, they're just really good at it. So they hosted like a pre-Naughty party. And on the way there, we got ready. And I just, you know, we kind of went, we just wore something kind of basic. It wasn't, there was no theme really. It was just kind of whatever. On the way there, I was kind of nervous because we didn't know anybody that was going. I mean, we assumed there would probably be somebody there we knew, but I just, I don't know. I just kind of felt like we were going to a club without our friends, which is unusual for us. We kind of roll kind of deep now. But we got there and we knew like everybody. We knew a bunch of people. A lot of people. We knew the DJ. Justin Time was DJing, which we met him. Splash. He was at Naughty last year, too. But we really got to know them at Splash. We just had a lot. I mean, like the Secrets people was there. The whole Secrets crew was there. A lot of our friends that we didn't know were coming in on Tuesday were there. It was a good mix of a lot of different people. And it was fun. We got to catch up. We did more talking, less dancing, more getting to know or catching up with lots of old friends that we didn't expect to see, which was really nice. It was very, very hot in there. Yeah, Humpte's Quickies was there? Yes, they were. I'm trying to think. Rhonda? Yeah. If you remember Rhonda from Hedo? Yeah. Well, she's been going for a couple of years now. Britt and Cass were there, which he is big sexy. And they had actually won, she had won Miss No Swimsuit for Naughty last year. If you've been around the podcast for any time, we went to Miss No Swimsuit contest at Hedo. Right, so just to clarify, so they do a Miss No Swimsuit competition every year at Naughty New Orleans. And so if you win that, then you get to go to Hedo to compete for the, I guess, the national Miss No Swimsuit. And a lot of clubs like Trapeze sent somebody. Corral. The Corral. I know Vibes sent someone. I'm trying to think. It's probably a little different every year. Yeah. Everybody, like a lot of these big groups that you know and hear have all sent a representative. So Britt had entered the competition last year at Naughty and won and went to the Miss No Swimsuit contest, which is in Hedo. And she actually won the whole thing. And we've been friends with them since the podcast. So it was nice to see them and catch up. So it was nice to catch up with them. Again, all the secrets. Dirty Danny from Secrets was there. Everybody saw the picture of me and her. If you saw her Instagram, she is like four foot nothing. And I am like five foot six, seven. And then add my heels. So I'm probably like five nine. And me standing next to her, I look like Jolly Green Giant. Yes, we looked really cute. The second pictures you took, I look like an Amazon woman and she looks like a Polly Pocket. Which second pictures are you talking about? The red and white. The eye candy pictures? Where you're in front of the eye candy energy picture? I don't think it looks fine. Anyway, she is the cutest thing ever. And Dan posted that picture and all of our friends, everybody was like, who is this girl? Who is this girl? So I gave her a hard time all week. And I was like, I posted that picture with you. And everybody was like, who the fuck is Lacey? It's all about you. But she is precious and sweet as can be. I mean, they're adorable. They're really a nice couple. Yeah, so nice. It's nice to spend. We don't get to spend much time with. They're always at secrets. Yeah. And it's kind of we say hi to them in passing. They're very busy. We're very busy. So we got a little bit more time. Yeah. Not as much time as I wanted, but. In our notes, Dan was totally hitting on her. And I'm talking about this in my drunken notes. And anyway, it was just cute hearing Dan talk about her and how hot she was and how much. No, you were like, like Dan was all into this girl. He just wanted to fuck her. And he got her, her husband's phone number because he wants to fuck her. Well, that's true. Well, I mean, it's not, it's not not true. I kind of want to fuck her too. So it's, I mean, I was, I'm not mad about it. She's fucking, they're very cute couple. Anyway, shooting our shot here. They probably don't listen to podcasts, but that's fine. I don't think they do. Anyway, so back to Colette. So at some point, we decided to do a lap upstairs. So the way Colette New Orleans is set up, downstairs is the club, and upstairs is the playrooms and stuff. And it was very busy. There was a lot of fucking, I would say, a generation or two ahead of us. I don't want to say old people, because we could be old to a 20-year-old, so age is relative. But they were definitely an older, crowd than we are. But they were getting it on. They were fucking. And there was this one guy when we got off the elevator who had the biggest older gentleman dick I've ever seen. You were obsessed with his dick. Yeah. We walked past them twice and every time Lacey's like, oh my god, did you see his dick? He had a giant dick. He did. He was not a big fella. And it was massive. But lots of people were fucking. I would have been open to playing up there. So I was feeling good. I just didn't feel like any of our people were up there playing. And there was no beds. There was no beds. So you would have had to get close to somebody. You would have had to like, not push your way in, but kind of, you would have had to get to next to somebody you didn't know. Yeah. But it also brought back some memories. So one, it may be the second club we ever went to together was Colette New Orleans. We didn't know anybody. Do you remember? And we actually fucked in the theater. And I tried to get you to fuck me on the round bed with the windows and you were like. Right. Because I think that was the one bed that time that we were there that was open. Yeah. So it's like a fishbowl room with a round bed in the middle of it. And you were like, no. And I was like, really? I was kind of surprised now the Dan we all know and love now would be all in there. But that just kind of shows how much. I think that was pre-Viagra Dan. It was. It was, but that just kind of shows that we've grown and evolved throughout the years. You don't immediately start off with going into that bedroom. So, but we ended up, I don't know, staying for probably another 30 minutes, an hour or so after that, just hanging out. And then we did eventually head out. Yeah. I felt really good. I mean, like I had taken a Shivers gummy, which they are a sponsor of this podcast. I actually genuinely have completely, switch to them. I don't use any others. So that's not a shameless plug. That is 100% the truth. Um. Dswingnation.info to get yours. But I had taken a shower. And I think I had, like, two drinks. Maybe a drink and a half. And I was just, like, perfect. Wasn't too drunk. Wasn't, you know, anything. I just felt really good. So I would have been, like, totally down to fuck. I just think it was more of, like, get to know everybody. This is a long week. Let's kind of pace ourself situation. Yeah. Yeah. No, I agree. Well, and I think because it was just so busy. Yeah. It would have been hard. You would have had to make. It would have been an awkward situation. Yeah. There was no place to even sit. Right. Yeah. To like have sex. So we ended up going back to our room and. We did have sex. We had sex. Yes. Me and you. Mm hmm. And we drunk made. Our video. Our review. Or. Recap. Recap. So that was really Tuesday. I mean, it was pretty simple. Nothing too wild and crazy. Just pretty simple. Yep. All right. I think now is the perfect time. Take a little break and hear from the partners and sponsors of the Swing Nation podcast. And then when we get back, we'll kick it off with the start of Naughty in New Orleans on Wednesday. Yep. All right. We'll be right back, guys. Yeah. is a safe swinger. One that has done all the work before they even get to the club, before they get to the party, and they know that they are STI negative. They've got it all figured out before they walk in. So that way, when it's time to play, they don't even have to like skip a beat. They're just like, here are our results. You can look at them on my phone, or you can look them up for yourself. We were tested. Everything came back negative. We're good to go. That's my favorite type of swinger. What about you, Dan? I'm kind of one of those guys, if you want to fuck like a porn star, you probably should get tested like a porn star. If we've learned anything over the last four years of doing this podcast, it's not all tests are the same. The tests you're getting at your doctor might not be all the tests that you need if you're going to be actively participating in this lifestyle. Yeah, if you go to your doctor and say, I need a full panel STD, STI test, that's whatever they think a full panel is. There's not like a rule book that says you should check for these 10 things or 12 things. Heck, we've been to some doctors and they have no idea what even should be tested for and what shouldn't. So your best bet is to use I know my status because they know we're swingers. They know what we're up to. They've been testing porn stars for years. So they know how to get you tested and ready to go and have lots of fun. Yeah, they really are the gold standard in STI testing. for the adult industry. And swingers, we're fucking a lot like porn stars. So those are probably the same tests that you need to be getting. So head on over to I Know My Status. Get signed up. If you're in the Florida or Vegas or Orlando area, there's an office. You can go in and get tested and you can get your results back as soon as the same day. If not, they have draw labs located across the country where you can go and you can get tested. And same, they'll mail your results. your labs into the lab, and you'll get your results back, I think, as soon as a day or two, depending on how long the mail takes. Yeah, it's pretty quick. It's worth notating if you go to your family doctor and they're testing for basically everything, but maybe they're missing a mouse swap or an engine test, some of the newer things that maybe our family doctors are not testing for. Yeah, testing for. You can go to I Know My Saddest and just purchase those tests. You don't have to go and spend a lot of money. pay for the whole thing. You don't have to do that. You can just go and be tested for the things that you need. Right. Yeah. And you could even, you know, if you want to, you could call them and say, hey, these are the tests I get from my local doctor. What am I missing? Yeah. And I'm sure they would have a conversation with you about what they think you should be getting tested for. And then you can order just those tests and go get those done. We had a friend not long ago that somebody that they were engaging with wanted her to be tested for M. Gen. She had, they just go to their local doctor. They know they're swingers. It's not a big deal. And so they went to a facility in their town and just were tested for that one test and of course it came back negative no issues and they were good to play right so go check out iknowmystatus.com go get tested like a porn star today so that we can play safe at our next event yeah all right guys hello y'all i'm super excited to announce that swing it is back partnering with the swing nation podcast it is one of my favorite lifestyle brands they make these amazing swimsuits that They come in one size.

We use and really like all of our sponsors. We've done a very good job of staying loyal to that. Yes. So, yeah. So Wednesday was the official start of Naughty. And it kind of started slow for us because, like I said earlier in the podcast, we were hosting three parties. But those three parties were all Friday and Saturday. So Wednesday and Thursday were kind of like our fun days. Yeah, the bulk of the stuff that we had committed to. Even in addition, we had our three parties. But we had an industry meeting. We had another meeting with industry people. There was like three or four other things that we had committed to doing. All of them were on Friday and Saturday. Yeah, so we kind of knew, like unintentionally, we kind of took Thursday and Friday kind of easy, but also had tried to have a lot of fun as much as we could on those days. But we still were stopping to talk to people. We were still making sure our table and everything was stocked and ready. So we still did a lot. It just, we weren't required to be necessarily anywhere, which was nice. Yeah. Agreed. So I woke up pretty early on Wednesday. I don't know why I was just wide awake. I tried to go back to sleep. You're excited. You're ready to go. I guess. I don't know. Tried to go back to sleep, but I really couldn't. You ended up waking up a couple hours after me. Um, but then people, everybody was starting to arrive, you know, so like, are everybody's texting us or they're getting in. And so about the time I wanted to start getting up and getting ready, you ended up having like a work phone call that you were on for like an hour. And then it started storming, which I don't remember it ever really raining much at Naughty. And it rained every single day. This year. This year. And not just like a little sprinkle, like it downpoured. It was quick. I mean, it was, you know, 30 minutes or so, and then it was gone. But it definitely rained. So I could hear it thundering and lightning outside. So I was like, I'm just going to slowly get ready because I'm not going out there in the rain. And the first like party wasn't until three. So we weren't in any kind of major hurry. Right. So the benefit of us getting there a day early is we were already there. Our table was already set up. We didn't have to worry about checking in and getting our bags to the room. So that's what everybody else in that first, you know, they're getting to the hotel, they're getting checked in, they're getting their room. So we had to kind of had that time to do whatever. Yeah. Yeah. And so we just slept, laid there, you know, just did nothing really. I caught up with work. Yeah. So we eventually got ready and then we headed out. So the first party on Wednesday that we always go to every year is the Drinkery, which is a bar on Bourbon Street. And it is hosted by the Accidental Swingers podcast, which is another great podcast. They are now in a poly relationship with another couple. But they always host that day one party. And I think it's just a good party for them to have. It's always packed. It's always a good time. And kind of like our friend group, everybody knows that's where everybody is. It's like where we meet up. Yeah. And so we got ready and we grabbed a slice of pizza and a daiquiri before we headed over there. And then, yeah, we stayed there until probably 536. It was packed. It was a lot of fun. I got a little tipsy. Not too bad, but we just don't drink much. So a drink or two just is all I need to really feel good. Yeah, our Bourbon Street hack in the past has always been to go to those daiquiri places. So they have those slushy drinks. And we just get like a big one, like a 32-ounce slushy. And then me and you just share it and we carry that around. Because sometimes at these parties, when they're packed the way they are, it can take you 30 minutes to get to the bar, get a drink, and then get back to your friends. So I just, you know, you can walk right into one of those daiquiri. places get a drink in two minutes and then go. So that's been our hack. Now there was a couple bars this time that wouldn't let you bring outside. I actually ended up throwing almost a whole daiquiri away one time. I think it was for the beach party because they wouldn't let me bring our drink in. They've never done that before. Usually the bars will let you bring drinks from other bars into them. So maybe try it but be careful because some of the bars won't let you in with it. Yeah. But I felt there were so many people. at that party. Like, I felt very overstimulated. There was really no place to stand that you weren't in the way. Like, I kind of felt like I kept, like, moving around. But it was a really good opportunity to meet and talk to a lot of listeners. They all came and said hello. And I really enjoyed that. But definitely overstimulated, for sure. And not just me. A lot of people were like, oh, my God, this is so packed. Like, if you've never, and there were several people that had never been to and this was their first, like, kind of dose of it. And you're in this extremely packed bar with music that is super loud and you can't move. It sounds terrible, but it's actually pretty fucking fun. But you just kind of have to, like, understand that not all the parties are like that. Some are. And this is, I think because this is, like, the first party, it definitely is fuller than your typical one. Yeah. Well, see, I don't, I don't really, it's interesting. I don't, I don't, You get overstimulated like that way easier than I do. I don't usually mind being in crowds like that. I don't either. It's like when I have people on all four sides of me and then like people talking to me and then somebody else waiting and not I'm not bitching about that. I absolutely do not mind that. It was just because there was just a lot going on. So I just felt like a little bit all over the place if that makes sense. No. Like at one point I finally like back my back up to the bar and I felt a little bit more in control of like my surroundings does that make sense no I agree yeah I get I get what you're saying I actually went and sat down there was a couch opened up and yeah if I have a bad back so sometimes if I stand too much yeah it can be a little hard on my back so my back was hurting me a little bit and I was like probably from the unloading and unloading the day before so I went and I sat and I talked to somebody for a while I thought it was great yeah it was good people look in like upstairs there's like balconies where you can throw and stuff. So people were coming in and out. And it probably was partially our fault because we were like in the walkway kind of. But there was just nowhere to go. So. But it was fun. So eventually we decided to leave because there's a couple of stores in New Orleans that I love to go to. And I knew if I didn't hit those Wednesday and Thursday, I wouldn't get to go. I only got to go to one. Spoiler, I didn't get to go to the other ones that I wanted to. So we kind of knew it was starting to be time to wrap up, maybe get dinner. So we decided, hey, let's go to one of these stores. And the store is called Gimmie, G-I-M-M-I-E. So if you're ever in New Orleans and you like all things girly, you need to go there. It's a little overpriced, but it's fun. It's a good time. Well, it's kind of almost 90 vibes too, a little bit. Totally, 90s, Y2K, millennial. It's so fun. It's such a good time. I never spend like a lot. I always just buy like one or two things. But the owner, is super precious and it's just a really fun a lot of the girls get gifts for their young daughters because it's just fun there's lip glosses and lipsticks and sunglasses and hair clips and all the things that you could think of and she's a big supporter of naughty so we want to support her so nothing i wanted to buy no no so dan just kind of walked around while we were doing all this so we shopped there for a little while and then we went to the hard and had dinner, which was nice. There was four or five couples. One couple that we know from Hedo, they don't really have a name on the podcast. They said that they don't normally get talked about on the podcast. Yeah, I think it's their screen name is like J&M or something. Oh, okay. That's okay. I think, yeah. So they went and had dinner with us and then two other couples. And there was some discussion on if Dan had had sex with the J&M couple. I need to go back and listen to that podcast episode. Yeah. So they went to Hedo with us. Twice. They've been at Hedo twice with us. But the first time they went to Hedo with us, that was their first lifestyle experience ever. I don't think I did anything with them that time. The second time, they ended up in the playroom with us, in the orgy bed, under the stars in Hedo. And I know we had at least oral sex. Yeah. I thought we had penetrative sex. She said we didn't. We have a lot of sex. It's really hard to remember. And I can't keep up with who all Dan puts his dick in. I just can't. Well, the funny thing is I've always said, like, I'm terrible at remembering people's names. I'm usually pretty good at remembering faces. And so it happens when we meet people and it's like, oh, nice to meet you. And they're like, oh, I met you at Secrets last year or something like that. And so I said, oh, well, you know, my rule is I will remember you if we have sex. Then I will remember you. And so when she's like, no, we didn't have sex. And I thought we did. I was like, what? Shit. Does that violate my rule? Then I'm like, no, it doesn't violate my rule because I thought we had. So I didn't forget her. I just thought we had more sex than we did. Yeah. So if we had oral sex, we somewhat had sex. So while we're eating, Dan texts me and says, are we fucking after this? Yeah, because everybody in the group, I think we had, I don't know, maybe it was probably me, but somebody had said, Like, are we doing an orgy after this? And I was like, I am down for an afternoon orgy. It's not afternoon. We left there at 730 at night. It's not an afternoon orgy. Either way, though, the complaint is always that we wait till 3 a.m. to fuck. Yeah. So I was like, yeah, let's, you know, when there's couples there that we. Listen, if that was the if that was the end of our night or like maybe, but like we then had to go and get ready for the night portion. It did. We stayed at dinner longer than I thought. Yeah. But yeah. So and then no Dan had texted me that, but nobody really was like, we're going to fuck after. I did not get that to you privately. There was a Snapchat group and people in there were saying, are we going to go fuck after this? And so that's why I texted you. No, they weren't saying that. I said it. Somebody said it. I think you wanted to fuck and you created this in your mind. Either way. So anyway, there may or may not have been an orgy that we did not go to. Right. And we went to the room, and I think we didn't have a whole lot of time to rest, but I think we did for just a little bit. Yeah. But maybe 30, 45 minutes. And then as we're starting to get ready, some of our friends, Farmer and Kay, they've changed their names. They changed their names. Yeah. I think we've always kind of called them Farmer and Kay. I think that's why they're changing their names. It's a different name on the list. They go like on their socials and stuff. But them and then one of the couples that they're really good friends with that we had met before but never really like hung out, hung out. They don't really have a name. He's very quiet and has a giant dick. And she's quiet and is just like a ball of fun. And has a great ass. Has a great ass. So we don't really have a name for them. Giant dick and great ass couple. But anyway, they showed up and I'm like barely, We were in the bed. I was naked in the bed. I was up. I had my house cut. I think I had taken a shower and had started on my hair. And they are 100% ready. And I was like, oh, shit. Maybe we should be. It was early, though. I don't think it was 9 o'clock yet. Yeah. So we hurried up and finished getting ready. So this night, when I was planning our outfits for this event, I didn't think about which night was which. And we were clowns. And I had decided to wear just pasties, which I had never done, ever. And I guess in my mind, that would have been like Thursday or Friday. It wasn't the very first night. So I was a little anxious going into it because I knew that I was going to go topless. So I was just a little nervous. And because we were clowns, we had a bunch of shit on our faces. We had these little triangles above our eyes. Mine were like rhinestones. Yours were tattoos. Yours were like stick-on. Mine were like temporary tattoos. Yeah. And then we painted our nose. Also didn't take into account that it's so fucking humid and naughty in New Orleans. And most of the makeup that I wear is like creams and glowy. I couldn't never get my foundation and stuff to like sit. I ended up going to like the Walgreens and buying some matte foundation and like a good like heavy-duty setting powder to finally get my makeup to set but this night I ended up being very very overstimulated because like I had red makeup on my nose so every time I touched my nose I had red then my I had the rhinestones on my face which I had used eyelash glue to help set them But it didn't work. It's just because I think everything is so humid. And I had setting spray. I had all the things. But it was so humid, it just never would set. So I felt all night, like, my face was funky. And, like, I felt like I was, like, touching it. I just, I don't know how to explain it. I loved my outfit. I ended up, like, not giving two shits about my nipples or my titties being out. Because I was so... Worry about your face. Yeah. that like this red nose was going to be like across my face. My stickers kept coming off. I just felt very, very overstimulated all night. And in our notes, I said, you said that I kept going back and forth to different rooms. Do you want to elaborate on that at all? No, that's what I, so what I felt happened is we would be like, so to, to, I guess, explain a little bit, there's two ballrooms at, uh, at Naughty. So, So on that main convention floor, there's one ballroom that they call the EDM room, which is, you know, it's got lasers and they generally play that EDM type of music. And then there's another ballroom. And that's kind of a, I guess you'd call it the top 40 room where they play more like hip hop. And sometimes they have a live band in there too. Right. And the popular. So the thing, you know, you go into one room and you kind of like, oh, yeah, I'm not feeling this music or, you know, oh, my friends aren't here. So let's go to the other room. like we kept ping-ponging. And even like sometimes we'd find our friends and like, okay, our friends are in the EDM room and we'd start dancing with our friends. And then you'd be like, I need to go to the bathroom or I need to go get a drink. Well, I was, again, my face was bothering me. I think the first time we were trying to figure out where we wanted to hang out, like not just us, everybody. Because I feel like sometimes our friends were in one room and sometimes our friends were in the other. It ended up we all kind of stayed in the EDM room as we kind of worked it out throughout the week. But definitely that first night, I definitely felt like I felt like I was all over the place. And I felt like if I was in one room, I might have been missing something in the other. So I wanted to be in the other. So I just I personally felt like I was hopping around and didn't settle in. Right. And then at one point, I think we went because your your makeup was bothering you. We went back up to the room and then like to go back up to the room. And this was a thing all weekend. It was like it took you forever to get on the elevator. Yeah. The elevators were. Yeah, at one point, one of my stickers came off and then I was just like, I was like, okay, let's just go to the room. Let's reset. Let's take this shit off. I wiped my nose and then let's come back down. And I felt like once we did that, I was much, much better. Like I wiped the shit off my nose, took my, you know, eye things off. I felt a hundred percent better. I took like my suspenders off because I had suspenders. I had a bow tie. I had a bow on my head. It was just, it was a So once I kind of took it down, I felt a whole, whole lot better. Right. And I feel like we kind of settled in a little bit more. Right. And then I don't know if we just lost everybody towards the end of the night. I don't know. I don't think anybody played the first night. A lot of people had traveled and flown in, so they were tired. But I mean, some people may have. A lot of people were sharing rooms and stuff, so they may have done that. But to my knowledge, I don't think a lot of people went to the playroom. They may have. I don't know. But we ended up going back to the room. And I felt like I let you down a little. Because I felt like you wanted to play. And I was just a little squirrely on that and not super into it. And so I kind of felt a little pressure, probably from myself, maybe not intentionally from you, but I did. Yeah. And I think, you know, we've talked about this since then, because you've kind of been in this. I feel like it goes all the way back to really since your dad has passed you've kind of been in this where it's hard for you just to let go and have fun and you you're I think you're overthinking things you seem to be nervous about things and and a lot of times at the end of night you're just like I just want to go back to the room yeah I think that I'm just like kind of just over it by the time it's because I feel like we used to play like at midnight it was 12 o'clock on the dot we're going and I feel like as a group We're enjoying the dancing and the music more, including myself. Sometimes I don't want to leave. I'm having a blast. And if we don't get there until 10 or 1030, at 12, I'm not really ready. But then once you get into the one, two o'clock hours, at that point, I'm just like, I don't want to do all that. You know, I just, I'd rather just, you're going to fuck me good regardless. You know, like, and so let's just fuck me and put me to bed. So I've kind of been struggling. I don't know. We've talked about this multiple times on the podcast. I don't know if it's because we're just so much busier I don't know if it's life I don't know if it's hormones I don't know I don't know what it is but I just I'm not super eager to play if all the stars align and it feels right and it's not something I have to like overthink and push I'm happy to do it but I feel like a lot of times I put pressure on myself to go do that for you know to make you happy because I know that you enjoy swabbing to make the listeners happy I know they They want to hear fun, kinky stories. But in general, if I feel pressure to do something, I'm automatically going to shut down. And I kind of feel like that's what's happening. So that's what happens. And so I kind of felt like I let you down. And now, like hearing you talk about how you wanted to have sex orgy after dinner and how I kind of feel like you said, well, if you would have said it was a go, it would have happened. And that kind of makes me feel like I let you down there, too. So, I mean, this is pretty raw right now, what we're saying. I don't necessarily want to admit that this is how I feel, but this podcast is, you know, truly, it's authentic. And so, as of this night, you know, it's now the second night, first official night, but the second night, and we haven't fucked anybody, and I just kind of feel like I'm sucking at being a swinger. No. Well, and that's, so I, and like you said, I don't even know if we fully have processed all this shit. We haven't. This is us. This is like really genuine. This is really us talking about it. Right. And so I think from my perspective, you know me, like I'm always down the fuck. Like I'm, I'll have an orgy during the day at night. Like I'm, I'm just ready to go. And I don't, but I don't want you to not, if you don't want to do it, then I don't want to do it. I don't want you to feel uncomfortable. But you said if I would have done it, then it would have happened. So that means I let down you, friends. That is pressure right there. I know that you have very good intentions and you're not trying to put pressure on. You're like, if you want to do it, great. If you don't, you don't. But saying stuff like that does make me feel that way. Unintentionally. I don't know. And I'm not mad at you. I'm not upset at you at all. I love you more than anything. And we're taking steps. I'm on medicine that makes my libido up. So I have an appointment for that. I have an appointment to have my hormone check. So we're working towards all these things. But it also might not be any of that. You know, it might just be like a mental thing. I don't know. Or maybe we're just at a different season of life. I don't know what any of that looks like. But I think just saying it out loud and validating my feelings is enough, you know, a bit. Acknowledgement. Because I don't know, you could be perfect in that situation and be like, oh, it's okay. We don't have to. I'm still going to feel pressure. Right. Well, that's what I mean. Yeah, yeah. Well, and that's how I genuinely feel about it, that I never want to pressure you. And I know that you don't. Right. And I think you even said this night, let's just go to the playroom and fuck. And I just, I was just kind of done. I didn't even want to do that. Mm-hmm. Where on the bliss cruise, remember, we got in a fight over that. And this time, I just was like. Right. Well, when you, I said, let's just go to the playroom and fuck. and you said no and so I was like yeah from learning from the bliss crews I'm like okay I'm just gonna let that go and we'll just go back to the room and we'll so I I think I tried really hard this trip to try to not pressure yeah and you did good I think there's just pressure automatically built in we are swingers we're at a swinger party we host a podcast we have a lot of eyes on us people say we're fake swingers so people seeing a swing in public places is also kind of important to me because I don't want any So I think that you could do everything 100% perfect. And I'm still going to put pressure on myself to do it. So I was not, we didn't get in a fight or anything. There wasn't words exchanged. But listening to my, what I was saying, I was a little tipsy, but you can still hear me saying I let down and all of our friends down because I didn't go fuck. So obviously I'm feeling, that. Yeah. Yeah. So no, I, and I, and this is the, like the truth is we just don't, you know, if you look at us over the last eight years, we've fucked all the, we fuck all the time. Yeah. So there's something has changed here since really since your dad passed. Yeah. And so what is that? And then, so what does it look like going forward or how do we, you know, that's where we're at. And really things have changed since my parents moved into us because we like, we used to fuck on the couch. We would be naked. We'd fuck on the couch. the island in the middle of the, you know, like obviously when there's no kids home, let's put that out there. We would walk around naked and stuff. So I think a lot of our life has changed. Again, this is like a season of life. It's temporary. But yeah, I just think finding a new way through all this. Now, spoiler, we did end up fucking some throughout the week. Not a lot, but we did end up having some amazing sex. But this was kind of like our first night at Naughty. And this is how it ended. So. Womp. All right. So I think. We run out of time right there. Yeah. So you have to come back and hear. Hopefully part two. I don't know. Hopefully we can get through. We're only on Wednesday. So we just started. Yeah. But we'll have some more episodes to kind of tell you the rest of what happened. Yeah. At Naughty in New Orleans. So stay tuned for that. Yeah. I had a good time. I did too. You know, despite the, you know, we probably didn't play as much on this trip as we have in previous trips. Because we were so fucking busy. Because we were so fucking busy. And I think that speakeasy was a double-edged sword. Yeah. In some ways. But we'll tell you all about that. So stay tuned for future episodes. Yeah. Are there anything else for this one? Thanks for your listeners. No, that's it. All right. I think with that, in a world full of apples. Be the pineapple. Be the pineapple, guys. Bye. Bye.
