(0:45) Welcome to The Swing Part, once again, with Rocky and Hazel. (0:50) I'm Rocky.(0:51) And I'm Hazel. (0:52) And we're so glad you're here. (0:54) Wow, it hasn't been a while.(0:56) It's been a minute. (0:58) So much to tell about our personal journey over the last, what is it now, 10 months? (1:06) No, it's been a year. (1:07) Has it been a year? (1:08) Well, ish, close.(1:11) If you remember, or if you listened to the last episode, (1:16) Hazel was getting ready to get a hip replacement, (1:19) which is something that happens to swinger women when they get a little older, (1:24) because they tend to overuse their hips. (1:27) Yes, yes, indeed. (1:28) Everybody's come to understand, I think, that this is a routine type of surgery.(1:37) Right, standard operative care. (1:39) And it was not a routine surgery in Hazel's case. (1:43) No, it was not.(1:45) Hazel came out of the surgery paralyzed below her knee. (1:51) Well, just right up above my knee. (1:53) Oh, right above the knee.(1:55) All the way down. (1:58) And it has not improved since then. (2:03) And she's had multiple surgeries to try to correct the nerve damage.(2:07) And so far, those surgeries have not been successful, (2:12) though we still hold out some hope, as the last surgery, (2:17) I guess, promised, might be too strong of a word, (2:21) but gave hope to that if there's going to be any improvement, (2:25) it was going to take 6 to 8 months before there would be... (2:28) 8 to 12. (2:29) Or 8 to 12 months, I'm sorry, before there would be any improvement. (2:32) So as you can imagine, that has put a little damper into the... (2:40) Lifestyle.(2:40) Into the lifestyle, into the lifestyle. (2:43) Well, also, I walk with a cane, so not feeling super sexy right now. (2:47) And I'll tell you what, folks, she's the sexiest woman I've ever seen with a cane.(2:51) Also a brace. (2:52) And a brace that she must wear on her foot to keep her foot from dragging. (3:00) There's a term that is used, it's called foot drop.(3:05) Drop foot. (3:06) Drop foot or whatever. (3:08) And personally, I can't... (3:10) I detest that term because... (3:12) We don't like it.(3:13) Well, if you have the condition, it's... (3:17) It makes the term sound like it's less than what it is. (3:21) Right. (3:21) Because it's... (3:22) You're paralyzed.(3:23) I mean, you're paralyzed and you can't feel anything. (3:28) You can't work your muscles. (3:32) Au contraire.(3:33) You can feel something, in my case. (3:36) In Hazel's case, she also developed what's called extreme neuropathy. (3:41) And if you don't know what that is, like I didn't know what it was before (3:45) it entered into our lives.(3:47) And it's a... (3:49) You want to describe the pain since it's yours? (3:51) Yeah, it's horrific. (3:53) It is something like hot lava is the best I can do to describe going down my leg. (4:04) Just hot lava going through my veins and then settling on top of my foot.(4:09) And then just like a whole lot of mini stabbing pains. (4:15) It doesn't sound bad, but it is the worst. (4:19) Thankfully, we have found some good doctors that found some medication (4:26) that alleviated that horrific pain.(4:30) There's still some there, but there was about a month and a half. (4:35) Three. (4:35) Actually, almost four months that I went with... (4:38) Was it that long? (4:39) Yes.(4:39) Hazel went with it being unrelieved. (4:43) It was 24 hours a day. (4:45) It was unbearable.(4:46) And we actually both slept on our recliner couches every single night during that time. (4:53) Well, and even more so. (4:55) I don't think we got back into our bed for the first seven months.(5:00) Yeah, it was a long time. (5:03) It was a very tough time. (5:06) Still a tough time.(5:08) As far as living, we're seeing a little light at the end of the tunnel (5:12) on how we are managing a daily life. (5:15) We're managing it. (5:16) Nothing's gotten better, but we're managing it.(5:18) Yeah, the pain. (5:18) Well, I mean, I'm talking about the shearing pain. (5:21) As long as I take my meds on time.(5:23) Yeah, as long as you take your meds. (5:24) If she forgets her meds, then the pain starts to come back. (5:27) It comes right back.(5:28) And the downside to the meds is just like anything else. (5:31) There's side effects that include making her conk out just randomly. (5:38) Just feeling like I'm in a fog all the time.(5:41) Forgetting words. (5:43) Well, she did that before. (5:45) But even more so.(5:46) Thank you very much. (5:48) It's been a rough road over the last year. (5:54) Many people don't know this.(5:56) We didn't talk about Hazel's occupation or day occupation on the podcast much, (6:01) but she was a top performing outside sales rep, as you can imagine. (6:06) Hazel's pretty outgoing and did really, really well. (6:09) That position required her to walk and carry stuff.(6:15) And drive for hours. (6:17) And drive for hours. (6:18) She was let go from that position.(6:22) Some ways, understandably. (6:24) They held me open as long as they could. (6:25) The company has to move on at some point.(6:28) Going through those types of things have been rough on the SwingPod family. (6:34) Let's just say that. (6:34) Absolutely.(6:35) We haven't done nothing. (6:38) We have done it. (6:39) We have gotten the opportunity for Hazel to get together with the Irishman a couple times, (6:45) which has been good.(6:47) Different, but good. (6:49) Different, but good. (6:50) And we've also been able to get together with... (6:52) I don't even... (6:53) What do we call our unicorn? (6:55) I forget what... (6:58) She has a code name and I cannot forget.(7:01) I can't remember. (7:02) I think we're going to talk her into an interview the next time she's here. (7:06) So she can give herself... (7:08) She can give her own name.(7:09) She can give her own code name. (7:10) She's become a very good friend of ours. (7:12) And we chat with her often and see her more than we see the Irishman at this point.(7:18) Just because she's closer to us. (7:21) And I'll say this about the lifestyle community, folks. (7:23) Wonderful support.(7:25) They communicate with Hazel a lot. (7:28) Check in on her. (7:29) See how she's doing.(7:30) And if there's another... (7:33) I don't know if you want to call it a plug or just an observation that I've had with (7:37) the lifestyle is that under the right circumstances, (7:41) you can really make some good friends that are lifelong friends. (7:45) Even people who don't know us. (7:48) I mean, personally, they just know us as Rocky and Hazel.(7:52) We've received so many emails checking in on us and we apologize for not responding. (7:58) It's just been a very trying time, as you can imagine. (8:01) But we do so appreciate everyone just checking in on us.(8:05) Just made us feel great. (8:07) I'll say this lightly. (8:09) We're back.(8:10) So you should be able to listen to us more frequently now. (8:15) I think the worst, I'm going to knock on wood, has happened. (8:22) And we're looking forward onwards and upwards.(8:25) Yep. (8:25) We're going to keep marching. (8:26) What do we say now? (8:27) Bless and release.(8:28) Bless and release. (8:29) If you were to put an average on the average age of the Swinger community, (8:34) it's probably in the 40s and 50s there, which we are in. (8:39) I think mostly because that's when you learn more about yourself.(8:43) You learn more about your partner. (8:44) You're definitely more wise. (8:46) Yeah.(8:47) Yeah. (8:47) There's a wisdom component and an honesty component that you begin to have with your partner. (8:54) In our case, those honesty components failed with our previous partner.(8:59) That's put again lightly. (9:01) When Hazel and I got together, we started off with that complete honesty. (9:05) And it made us unbelievably close.(9:10) And I think the experience over the last year has even made us closer. (9:14) Oh my God, yes. (9:16) A lot of things have changed.(9:18) I think Hazel depends on me more for certain things. (9:21) I depend on her more for other things. (9:25) I feel incredibly blessed is a good word to be your partner.(9:32) Thank you. (9:34) So obviously, we still have our OnlyFans page, but we haven't done anything with it. (9:40) We have done nothing.(9:40) Since her surgery. (9:43) But if you want to go on there, feel free to check it out. (9:47) Check it out.(9:48) I don't even know if you can pay for a subscription anymore. (9:53) Hazel is without a job, so go ahead if you can. (9:57) Actually, that's not entirely true anymore, is it? (10:00) What's that? (10:00) I said you were without a job.(10:03) That is not entirely true. (10:04) That is not entirely true. (10:06) We have decided to start something up that we're both very excited about.(10:11) We are. (10:11) And I don't mind sharing it on here. (10:13) We're actually going to do another podcast.(10:16) And if you actually want to hear our real names, that podcast is going to be called (10:22) I forgot the name of it. (10:24) Hold on. (10:25) The Comeback Vacation Show.(10:27) So you want to go ahead and tell everybody about what our new venture is? (10:31) You want me to? (10:32) Yeah, we have decided to buy in on a franchise of a travel company. (10:40) It's Cruise Planners. (10:41) And we have a website that you can go out to if you want to do any travel.(10:46) And we're actually talking about doing one of those travel with me type things, but L.S. style. (10:55) Our goal in the next couple of years is to charter a boot. (10:59) A boot.(11:00) A boot. (11:01) I mean a boat. (11:01) As they would say in Canada, a boat.(11:03) A boat. (11:04) And there's other ones right now. (11:05) There's Bliss Cruises, the ones that we know of.(11:09) And they're fun and they're great. (11:11) We've been on a couple of those and they're awesome. (11:13) Absolutely love them.(11:14) We've got a couple of cruise lines that we're already talking to. (11:19) We haven't spilled the beans on exactly what we want with them yet. (11:24) We just said we want to charter the boat.(11:25) Yep. (11:26) And they said, yeah, we can absolutely charter a boat. (11:30) Our, I guess, dream scenario would be to have a spring and a fall type of... (11:37) Am I interrupting you? (11:39) No.(11:41) I keep getting your messages. (11:43) The more things change, the more things stay the same. (11:46) It's not even from the Irishman.(11:49) It's just emails. (11:49) It's a no phone rule. (11:51) I need my phone to talk about stuff.(11:54) Yeah, well, I was talking about chartering a boat. (11:58) Right. (11:58) So our dream scenario is to some point get to where we're doing a spring and a fall type of... (12:04) Lifestyle cruise.(12:04) Lifestyle cruise. (12:05) So if you want to cruise with us and actually party with us, (12:09) that's something that we are thinking about doing. (12:11) I think that would be a blast.(12:13) And I think our listeners would love it. (12:15) I 100% know our listeners would love it. (12:18) In the meantime, it doesn't mean that you can't sign up and travel (12:22) with us and through us and utilize us.(12:24) I think it's pretty well known on this podcast how passionate of a person Hazel is. (12:29) And she's going to be very passionate about this new venture. (12:33) Would it be fair to say that we primarily focus on cruises? (12:37) Or how would you describe it to somebody? (12:39) That's our niche is cruises.(12:42) But we also will do land travel, air, you name it, excursions, anything and everything. (12:49) If you're leaving your house to go somewhere, give us a call. (12:52) Give us a call or there's a link on our website that you can send us a message.(12:57) We also have a Facebook page called Cruise Planners Comeback Vacations. (13:03) If you look for that, please join that group. (13:05) It'd be a good way to support Hazel and her comeback.(13:09) And that's the reason why we named it Comeback. (13:11) The name of the company in full is Comeback Cruises and Vacations. (13:16) No, it's Comeback Cruises and Travel.(13:18) Oh, sorry. (13:21) Shows you what I know about it. (13:23) We derived the name to kind of coincide with Hazel's comeback.(13:27) Again, I just look at you every single day and watch what you've seen, (13:31) what you've been through, see what you still go through. (13:34) Hazel is just not a person that you can keep down. (13:38) She gets knocked down, she gets right back up.(13:41) I think there's a song like that. (13:44) I think there is too. (13:45) I get knocked down and I get up again.(13:47) Well, you do. (13:48) Just like I said, I can't be more proud to be your husband and partner. (13:52) I just can't say enough about you.(13:53) Oh, that's nice. (13:54) And I was thinking dirty things in my head. (13:56) Yeah, what were you thinking? (13:57) I was thinking you can't keep a good woman down unless you flip her around and take her from behind.(14:03) Which is... (14:05) My favorite. (14:07) You know, even having sex has been a bit of a challenge. (14:13) And I brought out the fucking machine several times to... (14:17) It comes in handy.(14:18) It kind of mitigate any kind of potential damage I might do. (14:22) So Hazel's been very, very, let's call it receptive to getting pounded by the fucking machine. (14:28) Yeah, I do like that.(14:30) And I like that it has different size attachments. (14:34) You know, sometimes I don't want the big guy. (14:36) Sometimes I want the little guy.(14:37) Sometimes I want the medium guy. (14:39) The thick guy. (14:40) Well, the thick guy, I have a really hard time with that one.(14:43) That has been kind of funny because we've actually attempted to use the Irishman's (14:49) clone a willy attachment. (14:52) It's like putting a square pig in a round hole. (14:54) It just won't go in.(14:55) It's like, how does he do it? (14:57) I think because, you know, a real man is moldable, you know. (15:03) Until you get him like super, super hard, you know, he can still be... (15:07) He's malleable. (15:08) Yeah, I don't have my... (15:10) Boing.(15:11) Yeah, the only thing I have now is... (15:13) That's the only thing I have right now. (15:14) I gotta reprogram the machine to... (15:16) Yeah, it's been so long. (15:17) To put all of our effects back in.(15:20) We've tried it several times too. (15:22) And it's almost like... (15:23) It just won't. (15:24) Even with a lot of lube.(15:25) It's just so funny because I'll get Hazel a few drinks and she'll be like, (15:31) yeah, let's try it again. (15:33) All right, we'll try her again. (15:36) And I mean, it goes in there and it doesn't make it... (15:40) It doesn't make it about a half an inch.(15:42) And she's like, oh no, no, no, no. (15:45) Can't do it. (15:46) Can't do it.(15:47) It's too much. (15:48) And to think the actual one has fucked you in the ass. (15:53) I know.(15:55) I think it's because it's got that rod in the middle of it. (15:59) Not the actual one, but... (16:00) The attachment. (16:01) The attachment has the rod in the middle.(16:03) And I think that just makes it so hard that it's not malleable. (16:07) It just won't bend. (16:09) This is you using big words.(16:11) I know it is. (16:12) That was my word of the day. (16:13) Malleable.(16:14) Yes, I've used it three times now. (16:15) Is it malleable or malleable? (16:16) Malleable, whatever. (16:17) I don't know.(16:18) I don't know which one. (16:19) I think it's malleable. (16:19) Well, it was adjacent to the other one, so... (16:22) We got it.(16:23) We got it. (16:23) You're gonna let me tell that story. (16:24) Yes, go ahead.(16:25) All right, so... (16:29) I'm still mad at you and the Irishman for making fun of me. (16:33) I'm sorry, but it's pretty tough not to on that one. (16:37) You got to admit.(16:37) Yes. (16:38) So when I first met Hazel, which has been, what? (16:43) Way, way, way back. (16:44) More than 10 years.(16:45) More than 10. (16:45) 10 years. (16:46) Almost 15.(16:48) I heard her say a word and it made me just (16:54) give one of those confused dog looks the first time I heard it. (16:58) Then I heard her do it a second time in context (17:03) and I realized the word she was using was totally being mispronounced. (17:10) And that word was adjacent.(17:14) And she only did it when she read, though, (17:18) because I seem to recall you used... (17:22) It's not that you never used the word correctly, but you just read it wrong. (17:26) Well, I think I read it like Ebonics, you know, adjacent or adjacent. (17:33) And the way she pronounced it was adjacent.(17:35) Over the years... (17:37) You never said anything to me? (17:38) I never said a word. (17:39) And every now and then she would say it and I would just kind of sit up, (17:45) not look at her, not say a word because now I'm in trouble because now it's been years. (17:52) I never said a word.(17:53) And I never said a word about it. (17:55) Finally, after we were both... (17:59) This was just last year that you finally said something. (18:03) Well, and then we were both sufficiently inebriated.(18:05) Yes. (18:06) This was just a few months ago. (18:09) This was fairly recent.(18:12) So it was this summer. (18:14) Was it this summer? (18:15) Yeah, it was this summer, for sure. (18:16) Oh, wow.(18:17) It seems like so long ago. (18:21) So I finally said, I said, I have something that I have to tell you. (18:27) I know.(18:28) I was thinking so many different things. (18:30) I'm like, oh, my God. (18:32) And then I had her read a passage because that's what it was.(18:35) She was reading something and she said the word adjacent and I was inebriated. (18:40) It was usually if I was looking at a house or something. (18:43) Yeah, that's it.(18:44) And I just started laughing and she's like, what's so funny? (18:47) And I said, nothing. (18:49) And she's like, why are you laughing? (18:52) And I finally just had to... (18:54) Well, you said, what did you say? (18:56) Say that again. (18:56) I said, can you read that last line again? (18:59) And she said, adjacent.(19:03) And I just started laughing. (19:04) I wasn't getting it because you kept saying, what is that word? (19:09) And I'm like, adjacent. (19:10) And I made her do it about three or four more times.(19:12) Yeah, I mean, that's the word. (19:13) I finally said, baby, I love you more than life itself. (19:18) I'm pretty sure you didn't say that.(19:21) I'm pretty sure you made fun of me. (19:23) You're my everything. (19:25) You're my moon and my stars.(19:27) Right, yeah, no, that was not said. (19:29) But that is not how you pronounce that word. (19:32) She's like, what do you mean? (19:33) How do you say it? (19:35) And I said, it's adjacent.(19:37) And then it clicked. (19:38) And I'm like, oh my God, it is. (19:40) Well, she sat there for, let's call it about 10 seconds, maybe 15.(19:48) Well, I think you kept asking me, are you saying that right? (19:50) And I'm like, yeah, adjacent. (19:52) Like, are you sure? (19:53) I'm like, yes, adjacent. (19:55) That's the way you're supposed to say it.(19:58) When she finally said adjacent, or when I finally said adjacent, (20:01) it felt like there's like a flood of all of the times that she said that word that came in her past. (20:10) And it's like, you gotta be effing kidding me. (20:13) And knowing the word adjacent.(20:16) Like, I'm not stupid. (20:17) I mean, I'm a pretty well-read person. (20:20) Yeah, you're always reading books.(20:22) I mean, you're always reading books. (20:24) And I've just always pronounced it like that. (20:27) And nobody has ever said anything.(20:28) I have straight A's in English. (20:31) Never. (20:32) I'm sure I had to have said it at some point.(20:35) Not one person. (20:36) And not only did you do that that time, but then when the Irishman came to visit, (20:43) you and him teamed up on me. (20:46) I mean, in more ways than one, but especially in that.(20:49) And he just thought that was just hilarious. (20:53) Yeah, I think he thought the really funny part was the fact that I just didn't... (20:57) Tell me. (20:58) I wouldn't disclose it for years.(21:01) I kept it. (21:01) I kept it a... (21:04) I mean, as closely of a guarded secret as anything I ever have. (21:10) Unbelievable.(21:11) Just unbelievable. (21:14) And I'll still catch myself saying it that way again. (21:17) I'll be like, dang it.(21:18) That's not the way you say that. (21:20) I'll look around and see if you were around. (21:22) And in your defense, I've never heard another word that you've mispronounced.(21:26) Are you sure? (21:27) Or are you going to wait another 10 years and tell me? (21:29) I'm putting my right hand up to God and saying that there is no word that I know of (21:36) that you mispronounce on a regular basis. (21:40) Okay. (21:40) Other than adjacent.(21:43) Adjacent. (21:44) So now I just say it just to be funny. (21:46) Yeah.(21:47) Yeah, the Irishman thought it was... (21:49) Yeah, he got a real kick out of it. (21:51) Pretty funny. (21:53) Anyway, what's next on your list? (21:55) There was quite a few emails that we could read, but just about all of them are like, (22:00) where the hell are you? (22:00) Yeah, basically.(22:01) Like, we're really concerned. (22:03) We had one, he emails pretty regularly, but he's like, hey, guys, you know, I'm really (22:08) getting worried over here. (22:09) What's going on? (22:11) So sorry to keep you in the dark for so long, but I wasn't ready to talk about what had (22:17) been going on and now I am.(22:21) So onwards and upwards. (22:22) And I just want to also add that I am incredibly proud of you for wanting to get back and start (22:30) talking on the podcast about how our journey is, how it was drastically altered and where (22:38) we go from here. (22:39) Because we don't even really know yet.(22:41) Yeah, we don't. (22:41) I mean, I'm not to that point of feeling sexy again. (22:47) You know, lots of changes have happened.(22:49) So I'll get there. (22:51) Well, and I think what we're going to attempt to do with the podcast is try to get some (22:56) more people on it. (22:57) Yeah.(22:58) Start doing some interviews, things like that, that can maybe fill in a little bit for our (23:04) escapades, for lack of a better term. (23:07) Right. (23:07) And in the meantime, we're also, like I said, we've got some friends that are going to come (23:12) over.(23:13) When's the Irishman coming over? (23:15) In like two weeks. (23:16) We'll tie him down. (23:19) Ooh, can we? (23:21) Let me rephrase that.(23:23) We are going to probably get him to talk on the podcast a little bit. (23:29) Yeah, that'd be great. (23:30) Because he's been doing a lot.(23:31) Yeah, yeah. (23:32) I mean, he definitely has a lucrative sex life right now. (23:37) Yeah.(23:37) And he's always willing to share some stories. (23:39) So it'll be interesting to hear from him. (23:41) It's been a while because he has a, what we call a blue fish.(23:45) He's a single guy. (23:46) Single guy in the lifestyle. (23:48) We could talk about our anniversary this year.(23:52) What is our anniversary? (23:54) I mean, I know. (23:55) Our wedding anniversary. (23:56) I know.(23:57) It was in July. (23:58) Yes. (24:00) What did we do? (24:00) And what did we do? (24:01) I can't remember.(24:02) What did we do? (24:02) We went to this really cool place. (24:04) Oh, yeah. (24:05) Just real close to Chattanooga.(24:08) We did. (24:08) That was actually kind of the reintroduction, I guess. (24:12) Into the lifestyle, yeah.(24:14) Into the lifestyle. (24:15) That was a huge event for us. (24:18) It was called Red Room Cabins.(24:20) Right. (24:21) We rented a cabin. (24:22) It was a two-bedroom.(24:23) And it was the coolest thing. (24:25) It had BDSM set up. (24:28) You know, it had the St. Anthony's Cross.(24:32) It had- (24:33) St. Andrews. (24:33) Okay. (24:34) That was adjacent to- (24:36) The St. Andrew's Cross.(24:38) To the massage table. (24:39) It had all kinds of whips and stuff, which we brought our own. (24:42) It was adjacent to the milking table.(24:44) There was a milking table. (24:46) Which we didn't use. (24:47) We did not use that.(24:48) There was a few things that we didn't use. (24:50) In your defense, you would have had to crouch down. (24:52) Yeah, there was no crouching in my future.(24:56) Yeah, I can't get down on my knees or anything. (24:59) Sex swing. (25:01) Just, there was, I don't even know.(25:03) It had a back porch that had a fireplace and a hot tub and an outdoor shower. (25:07) It was just a really cool place. (25:10) These people have three or four of these cabins all real close to each other.(25:17) Well, they were just opening up the third. (25:19) They were just opening up the, was it the third one? (25:22) The third one. (25:22) And that one was kind of more for like honeymooners or, you know.(25:26) Until you went to the dungeon. (25:28) Well, it had a dungeon. (25:30) Yeah, but it just had one bedroom.(25:32) It had one of those deep soaker tubs. (25:34) And it was a hidden wall, remember? (25:37) Yeah, it was in the kitchen. (25:38) So, you open up the hidden door and went down into the dungeon.(25:42) Right. (25:42) And they had it all BDSM type of set up. (25:47) Just really, really cool place.(25:49) So, if you get a chance to check that out, that's in Tennessee. (25:53) And they're called Red Room Cabins. (25:55) Yeah, Red Room Cabins dot com.(25:57) Dot com. (25:57) There you go. (25:58) Go out to their website, check it out.(26:00) I found it on TikTok and just reserved it for our anniversary. (26:06) Invited the Irishman and our little girlfriend. (26:09) And we had a nice weekend.(26:12) Speaking of little girlfriend, the gal that runs that place. (26:15) Yeah, she's a cutie, isn't she? (26:17) She's married. (26:18) I don't care.(26:19) And her dad is her construction guy. (26:23) He's the one that puts it all together. (26:26) She tells him her vision and he puts it together.(26:29) I don't think my daughter's going to come to me anytime soon. (26:32) No, not in a million years would she come. (26:37) No, but that's pretty cool.(26:38) It is very cool. (26:39) And we really enjoyed the cabins. (26:41) We want to go back and try.(26:43) They have one, a treehouse one, which we didn't go with this time because there's a lot of steps. (26:48) And I wasn't doing stairs at the time. (26:51) Well, you're really still not.(26:52) And I barely make it up the stairs now with your help. (26:56) But that's how we've been trying to, for lack of a better term, reintegrate ourselves. (27:01) Because, I mean, we're still... (27:03) It's a huge part of our life.(27:04) We're still relatively... (27:05) Yeah, it is a huge part of our life and we enjoy it. (27:07) Yeah, it has been obliterated, devastated for a while. (27:13) We're looking forward to trying to reclaim what we can.(27:17) Right. (27:18) So... (27:18) Little by little. (27:19) And, you know, maybe getting some guests on here might help that reclamation.(27:26) Good work. (27:27) Look at you. (27:28) Big words.(27:28) Look at me. (27:29) Look at me go. (27:30) Anyway, so thank you again for sending emails, checking in on us.(27:35) And I hope this explains to you where we've been. (27:38) We really haven't been anywhere. (27:40) I have to keep my leg and foot elevated for most of the day.(27:45) And there's not a whole lot of living going on right now, but we're trying. (27:48) Yep, we are trying. (27:50) Alcohol does a little bit, some wonders.(27:52) Alcohol helps so much. (27:53) We've actually found something at the vape shop that helps a little bit called Silly Dots. (27:59) Silly Dots.(28:00) Those are fun. (28:01) Yeah, those are fun. (28:03) And we... (28:04) What does it say on there? (28:05) Take one to just zone.(28:09) Take two to... (28:12) Do you have it on your phone? (28:13) I can find it real quick. (28:14) But the third one basically says take three if you want to meet God. (28:18) We don't want to meet God just yet, so... (28:20) No.(28:21) And just one just is enough for us. (28:24) And we found these chocolate bars. (28:29) Oh, I like those too.(28:30) And it was funny... (28:31) Infused with mushrooms. (28:32) We were at the vape shop and they're tiny little squares. (28:36) And we're asking the clerk, okay, you know, we're new at this stuff.(28:41) Tell us... (28:41) Let's tell the audience why we found this stuff. (28:44) Because even though I'm on all this medication, it doesn't take the pain completely away. (28:50) And this is the only thing that we have found (28:54) that completely takes the pain away.(28:57) Even if it's just for a couple hours. (28:59) Yeah, I mean, it's only for a couple hours and then it comes back. (29:01) But... (29:02) We're trying to get... (29:03) We're at this store looking like idiots because we don't know what we're doing or saying.(29:07) Feel like we're going to get arrested at any moment, but... (29:09) And we pick up this chocolate... (29:11) We get this chocolate bar and we're asking the clerk, okay, you know, what do you recommend? (29:16) How do you do it? (29:17) And she looks at us and without skipping a beat, she says, don't take three. (29:24) That's scary. (29:25) And we're like, okay, well, what the fuck does that mean? (29:29) So what we've done a couple of times that we took one little piece of that chocolate bar, (29:33) then took a silly dot and we were able to have several hours of good, clean, all-American fun.(29:40) Yes, but what did we do one night with the chocolate bars? (29:43) We watched the new movie. (29:46) Oh, Deadpool and Wolverine. (29:49) And we were almost like we were sunk into the couch.(29:54) We were so relaxed and all we took was one of those chocolate squares. (29:59) Right. (29:59) And we laughed our asses off.(30:03) We're lightweights too. (30:04) We are lightweights. (30:05) It doesn't take much.(30:05) Yeah, and these silly dots. (30:06) It says one tab for... (30:08) We should call them, see if they'll sponsor the show. (30:10) I know.(30:10) One tab for flow and vibe and two tabs for euphoria and introspection. (30:16) And that even says it's ideal. (30:19) We'll go back.(30:20) One tab for flow and vibe. (30:22) And I mean, the descriptions they have are kind of funny. (30:25) Enhance your everyday rhythm and vibes.(30:28) Perfect for turning into your creative side. (30:31) I would dispute that. (30:32) I don't think anything about that makes you creative.(30:34) I wasn't very creative, no. (30:37) Two tabs for euphoria and introspection. (30:40) Ideal for a deep, blissful exploration of self.(30:44) Fostering profound moments of reflection. (30:48) That kind of felt like with one tab. (30:50) With one.(30:51) I was reflecting on my life choices. (30:54) And then three tabs for altered perception. (30:57) Altered perception.(30:59) Transform your reality by opening new dimensions of perception (31:04) and exploring the depths of your mind. (31:07) Yeah, I don't want to see what my brain would conjure up if I took three. (31:12) Yeah, $15.95 USD.(31:15) Which isn't bad. (31:16) No, it wasn't too bad at all. (31:17) For a good flow and vibe.(31:18) I mean, you and I can take one tab and cut it in half (31:21) and each take half and we'd be good to go. (31:23) Yep, we're good. (31:24) You know, we do that with one of those little pieces of chocolate.(31:27) And we haven't been someone that's really into that type of thing. (31:31) We've done our alcohol and stuff like that. (31:34) But this stuff, pretty good.(31:36) Yeah, highly recommend it. (31:39) And like I said. (31:39) I like how you said highly.(31:41) Highly. (31:43) It's the only thing that we have found that takes all of the pain away. (31:47) Because as you can imagine, with being paralyzed, (31:51) my hip has not completely healed.(31:54) And it's been, it'll be a year. (31:56) So there's still pain with that. (31:58) So this stuff takes all that pain away.(32:01) Gives me a little confidence to... (32:03) You're afraid you're going to break me. (32:04) Yeah, I get a little afraid I'm going to break it. (32:07) I'm made out of Teflon now.(32:08) You can't break me. (32:09) No, but I worry. (32:14) Well, that's awfully sweet of you.(32:16) You don't worry whenever you're flowing and vibing though. (32:19) No, no. (32:19) When I'm flowing and vibing, I worry a lot less.(32:22) And that's the times we brought out the fucking machine too. (32:25) So it's like, hey, let's plug this thing in. (32:27) Okay.(32:30) And I've always been a yes girl anyway, when it comes to stuff. (32:33) She is too. (32:34) Yep.(32:35) You're like, well, let's do this. (32:37) Okay. (32:38) I'll give it a try.(32:39) I'll try anything once. (32:40) One of the reasons why I love you so much. (32:42) Twice if I like it.(32:44) What else you want to talk about? (32:46) I think that's probably good enough for a first one back, don't you? (32:49) Yeah, I think so. (32:50) We're very happy to be back. (32:52) And I hope that y'all are happy to have us back.(32:55) And if you can, send her some more of those emails. (32:58) Again, it wasn't that we were... (33:00) Ignoring you. (33:01) Attempting to ignore everybody.(33:02) But just understand that it was a pretty rough go for a while. (33:06) It still is. (33:07) One thing about this podcast that we've always done is we kind of have (33:12) really borne our souls on the podcast.(33:15) We're very open about our life and we will continue to do so. (33:20) It's funny because we've met couples after they've listened to our podcast. (33:25) And they always say, we feel like we know you.(33:28) And you kind of do. (33:30) Because we just kind of spill everything. (33:33) Good, bad, ugly.(33:34) I mean, we've talked about how fun the lifestyle has been. (33:38) We've talked about some of the challenges that we've had in it. (33:42) Hiccups.(33:43) And if you're in the lifestyle, you're going to have those things. (33:47) And Hazel said this many, many times. (33:50) It's still a relationship.(33:51) But when you navigate it properly, I believe that it creates (33:56) a very powerful bond between people. (33:59) Because you know somebody so much better. (34:01) To the soul level.(34:04) You know what turns them on. (34:07) You know what turns them off. (34:08) But you particularly know what turns them on.(34:10) Hazel's called me out, I don't even know how many times, (34:14) for a good-looking woman on television walking down the street. (34:19) Whatever. (34:20) She knows the type of woman that I like to look at.(34:25) There's a tiny percentage that's annoying about that. (34:28) That's nice. (34:30) But it's 99% that is the coolest thing on the face of the planet.(34:35) The only thing that ever annoys me about it is because (34:38) you do have a smart-aleck comment about every now and then. (34:41) Now do I really? (34:42) Every now and then. (34:42) That is so not my personality.(34:45) It's like, it's like, (34:46) Bob, she's got red hair. (34:49) I know you like that one. (34:50) But I'll get that every now and then.(34:51) And I can't, what am I supposed to say? (34:53) I can't, she knows me. (34:54) I can't argue with her. (34:55) I mean, it's like, son of a bitch.(34:57) You know, I can't even. (34:58) I can't point them out to you because I think they're hot. (35:01) I can't even say something like, oh, no, honey, I would never even think.(35:05) I mean, this is, if I would. (35:06) Yeah, she. (35:08) My bullshit meter would go off so fast.(35:10) Yeah, she, she 100% knows every single time. (35:14) And she now knows me so well that if there's a woman with red hair, she, (35:20) I don't like every single woman with red hair. (35:22) It's a certain type of red hair.(35:24) And a look, a certain look. (35:26) And like, she'll, she'll know. (35:28) She'll get 99 out of 100 now.(35:30) Yeah. (35:30) On what I like. (35:32) You got to live with that in a lifestyle.(35:35) But when you think about something like that, I mean, that's getting to know somebody. (35:39) Although, you point guys out to me all the time. (35:42) I'm like, eh, no, that's not mine.(35:44) I still get surprised on some of the ones that you are turned on by and the ones that you're not. (35:50) Sometimes it is about a look. (35:52) And sometimes it's about a personality, about how, how they hold themselves.(35:58) And, you know, I don't know. (36:01) I know whenever I see the first look of somebody, whether or not I'm attracted to them. (36:06) And I usually see her scrolling through TikTok or something.(36:09) And all of a sudden she stops and says, oh, (36:12) I know there's been a lot lately. (36:14) I'm like, dang, did I tap into something that I don't know about? (36:18) There's been some hot guys on my TikTok lately. (36:21) It does listen to you.(36:23) It does listen to you. (36:24) Well, it knows, I guess, how many times I play that same video over and over again. (36:28) They're like, oh, she likes that.(36:30) Okay, let's, let's bring another one up. (36:32) That's another thing we've been doing a little bit. (36:34) We've been watching a little bit more porn ever since that.(36:37) Which is fun for me. (36:38) I like that. (36:38) It was a little cringeworthy when I was on the phone with my brother, though, when he put it on.(36:42) Oops. (36:42) Yeah. (36:43) I was bored.(36:44) Sorry. (36:45) My brother's like, dude. (36:49) He knows we're in the lifestyle.(36:51) So he just takes it with a grain of salt. (36:53) And our disease has spread over to them a little bit. (36:57) Am I not supposed, you, you, you gave me the cut sign.(37:00) I'm not supposed to talk about that. (37:01) No, that's, that's their secret. (37:02) I'm not telling them their names or anything.(37:04) Oh, okay. (37:05) Well, he only tells you and sends you like hot pictures of women all the time. (37:10) Well, you know.(37:11) He doesn't, he doesn't like to talk to me about that stuff. (37:13) It makes him cringe. (37:15) It's his sister.(37:17) He's my brother. (37:18) I love making fun of it. (37:20) He's a person.(37:22) I mean, yes, he's my brother. (37:24) He's my, I'm very, very close to him, but it doesn't like gross me out or anything. (37:29) I talk to my sister-in-law all the time about their sex life, (37:32) which he would literally throw up if he knew that.(37:37) And now he does. (37:38) Now he does. (37:39) I don't think he listened to this.(37:41) No, he would never listen to this for fear that he would hear something about me that I did. (37:46) And he would. (37:46) Yeah, yeah, he would, yeah.(37:48) Definitely does not want to listen to this. (37:50) Right. (37:50) All right, sweetheart.(37:52) I think this is a good comeback for our podcast. (37:57) I think so too. (37:58) And as a reminder, if you want to venture over to ComebackVacations.com. (38:05) You can listen to the types of vacations or destinations that we're talking about.(38:10) Yep, that's on, that's going to be on the podcast, the Comeback Vacation Show. (38:13) Any support that you give would be certainly appreciated. (38:17) And head over to that podcast and listen to, (38:20) I don't even know what the fuck we're going to talk about.(38:22) I do. (38:23) I've got a list. (38:24) Okay, good.(38:26) All right, we'll see you next time. (38:28) Love you, sweetheart. (38:29) Love you too.(38:30) Bye.
