All right, let's get into 0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:00.120 the episode. 0:01:00.640 --> 0:01:02.760 Hello, Hello, how are you good? 0:01:02.800 --> 0:01:03.200 How are you? 0:01:03.520 --> 0:01:06.360 I am a gecko on the computer and your name 0:01:06.560 --> 0:01:14.040 is Megan. Correct correct it sounded it sounded weird, Megan? 0:01:14.080 --> 0:01:15.600 What's up? How's life? 0:01:16.720 --> 0:01:18.360 I sounded weird. A you sounded weird. 0:01:18.680 --> 0:01:22.480 I sounded weird. But you sound a little weird too, Hugh. 0:01:22.600 --> 0:01:26.440 The human voice is strange. It's no one's fault. What's up, Megan, 0:01:26.440 --> 0:01:27.200 How's life. 0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:32.200 Not too bad? Just got home from work so it 0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:38.160 was a very long day. But yeah, I've been listening 0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:40.720 to your show a lot recently and I decided I 0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:42.679 would call in to end my night. 0:01:45.040 --> 0:01:48.280 Well, Meghan, uh, it says here that you wanted to 0:01:48.320 --> 0:01:52.360 talk about a you wanted to talk about playing competitive 0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:57.680 nude volleyball around the country, and that HBO is doing 0:01:57.680 --> 0:02:03.560 a documentary about your nude volleyball group. MM. 0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:11.440 Yeah, so I got introduced to it in twenty eighteen. 0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:15.120 You know, I grew up playing volleyball and a friend 0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:18.720 of mine, you know, mentioned that they go to it 0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:21.639 and the volleyball, you know, is really really good, and 0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:24.639 I was like, you know what, why not? So I went? 0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:29.040 And you know how they work is I call it 0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:34.040 a circuit. There are tournaments that the first tournament is 0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:36.679 in March, that's what opens this season, and then the 0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:41.280 last tournament is in September, and there's about one a 0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:45.800 month and they're at all you know, different nudest resorts. 0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:51.840 So there's two in Florida, three in Pennsylvania, one in Virginia, 0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:57.840 and so on. And basically, you know, it seems super 0:02:57.919 --> 0:03:00.200 strange when you first hear it. So for me, it 0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:04.440 was a lot of just pure curiosity of what is this. 0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:09.880 But yeah, I mean our biggest tournament, which is the 0:03:09.880 --> 0:03:12.760 one that HBO is at this year, is the one 0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:17.400 that closes this season in Pennsylvania, and there's about I 0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:20.800 would say between six hundred and seven hundred people that 0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:25.880 actually compete, and total, there's probably about a thousand people 0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:33.560 that go. You know, it's very serious quote unquote ball 0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:37.920 in that we have you know, separate divisions between Novice B, 0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:41.960 Double B A, and Double A, which is collegiate meaning 0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:47.080 that either they played professionally or you know, in college. 0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:51.760 So I mean, for example, in two thousand and nine, 0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:58.640 ESPN sent a team Olympians to the tournament and basically 0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:01.760 they were doing a story about out body image and 0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:05.240 how you can be an Olympic athlete and still have 0:04:06.040 --> 0:04:11.080 you know, body issues, and our best team beat them. 0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:15.680 But yeah, it's a pretty incredible group. Again, we all 0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:20.520 travel from various places to these we all stay on 0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:24.440 quote unquote campus, so you either tent or you have 0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:28.960 an RV. Sometimes there's places to rent on the property. 0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:34.040 But at night, it basically is the music festival. There 0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:37.560 are definitely a lot of drugs done, and then we 0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:39.480 play volleyball nude all that. 0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:41.720 You know. 0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:45.520 I got to imagine the best part of traveling around 0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:53.320 the world to nudest resorts playing nude volleyball is what 0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:56.160 you don't have to check a bag because you don't 0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:57.080 need any clothes. 0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:03.200 Yeah, the packing is really easy. I mean basically, all 0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:06.119 my stuff that I pack is for you know, stuff 0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:09.400 that we wear at night, like you know whatever. Like 0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:13.880 we'll have scenes at night and you know, whether it's 0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:18.000 like glow or four animal and I always have all 0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:21.720 the glitter. But yeah, so we have DJs who are 0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:24.720 just part of the group and bring all of their 0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:30.920 equipment and it's you know, basically an ed M festival 0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:36.920 at night. And they've actually started a nudist music festival 0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:39.640 that's coming up in a couple of weeks and there'll 0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:42.160 probably be about four hundred people there. This is their 0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:43.160 third year of doing it. 0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:45.159 I have a lot I got a lot of questions. 0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:48.360 Were you a nudist before you started doing this stuff 0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:51.120 or was like being a newdist something that was interesting 0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:53.520 to you. 0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:57.840 No, not even close. In fact, prior I would say, 0:05:57.960 --> 0:06:02.440 up until you know, I was twenty eight, twenty nine. 0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:05.720 I mean I was terrified of being nude. I mean 0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:07.720 I used to think that I had a boob phobia. 0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:11.119 My ex, who I was with for nearly twelve years 0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:14.960 starting at eighteen to twenty nine, he I don't think 0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:18.160 he could pick my boobs out of a lineup, truthfully, 0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:24.640 because I was so incredibly modest. But you know, it's 0:06:25.120 --> 0:06:27.560 it was just one of those things that you know, 0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:33.040 I figured why not, And it's not some resorts. It's 0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:36.560 not mandatory nude for everybody, meaning that like you can 0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:40.560 wear cover up, et cetera. It's only mandatory nude when 0:06:40.600 --> 0:06:46.159 you play. But yeah, I think you quickly. I know 0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:50.000 it sounds like crazy and shocking to a lot of 0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:52.479 people when they first hear about it, but you would 0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:55.160 be amazed at how quickly it loses its shock factor. 0:06:56.680 --> 0:07:00.240 You just don't think about it. And you know, I 0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:03.800 think that one of the things that makes this, you know, 0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:09.039 group of people so special is that when you don't 0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:12.160 have clothes on, you don't portray any like you know, 0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:17.600 first impression, so you know, based on what you how 0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:20.640 you dress like you kind of you know, portray a 0:07:20.840 --> 0:07:27.600 certain you know, what's the word I'm looking for, you know, characteristic, 0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:30.840 whatever the word. And you know, I think that again 0:07:31.000 --> 0:07:36.480 because nobody, you know, you're everybody's so vulnerable, and you know, 0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:39.680 it just allows you to and I know it sounds 0:07:39.760 --> 0:07:44.040 cheesy like connect with people on a whole different level. 0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:46.400 And you don't have your phones with you. You're not 0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:49.040 allowed to have your phones out of things. 0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:51.040 Right right right that. You know what that's an overlooked 0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:55.240 aspect of the newdest community is that everyone is a 0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:57.320 little bit more present because they're not on their phones. 0:07:57.880 --> 0:07:59.000 You never even thought about that. 0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:04.120 And I wouldn't call I'm not a true nudist. You know, 0:08:04.200 --> 0:08:07.400 there's a big true nudist can kind of be a 0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:12.640 little uppity and think that they're better than others, so 0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:16.400 to speak. And you know, so I'm not a true nudist. 0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:19.400 It's more so about this community. And I mean they're 0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:24.040 all my closest friends just coming and hanging out together. 0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:27.320 And again, I feel like there's no it's a lot 0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:30.240 harder to judge somebody when they don't have clothes on. 0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:33.360 That makes sense. 0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:36.480 This is a very interesting thing because you went from 0:08:37.679 --> 0:08:41.720 I mean, I'm curious what within you inspired you to 0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:43.920 make such a hard left turn, because you're telling me 0:08:43.960 --> 0:08:49.280 that you were so uh modest with your body that 0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:53.720 even like your your boyfriend like was barely seeing you 0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:57.160 naked all the way, your husband barely seeing you naked 0:08:57.200 --> 0:09:01.760 all the way, to you know, having a whole audience 0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:05.520 of people seeing a naked mm hmm. 0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:09.040 Well, you're also not alone in those environments. It's not 0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:12.240 like you're the only person standing there naked by yourself. 0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:15.280 But I will say so, like I can tell you 0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:18.240 when I was in seventh grade, it was the summer 0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:21.880 going into my eighth My family was down in Destin, Florida, 0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:24.880 and my stepsister and I met these two boys. Of course, 0:09:24.920 --> 0:09:28.400 I liked the asshole, and we were playing the stupid 0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:31.520 game to diddle, and at one point we agreed to 0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:35.400 flash them, and so you know, like we're super nervous, 0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:38.040 but whatever, So we flashed them and the guy that 0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:41.640 I liked, his first reaction was you have those kind 0:09:41.640 --> 0:09:43.719 of nipples? And I was like, holy shit, what kind 0:09:43.720 --> 0:09:46.559 of nipples do I have? And it's crazy to think 0:09:46.600 --> 0:09:54.440 that that small little, you know, moment just escalated into literally, 0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:57.360 I mean, me not wanting to be naked in front 0:09:57.400 --> 0:10:01.480 of myself. And when I separated my ex, I think 0:10:01.559 --> 0:10:04.720 I've just kind of had this. You know what if 0:10:04.760 --> 0:10:08.679 I don't like myself, nobody's gonna like myself. And you know, 0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:14.599 once you kind of just say fuck it, then you 0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:18.440 you know, you get positive reinforcement and you know, you 0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:21.320 just realize again and there are no two bodies alike, 0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:25.960 no two bodies. I joke that, you know, a woman's 0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:28.400 vagina is like a snowflake. There are no two alike, 0:10:29.040 --> 0:10:33.360 so you know, and it's just how you feel about yourself. 0:10:34.200 --> 0:10:39.839 Do you like, are you You're not at a thing 0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:44.120 where you're like you do you compare yourself to other people? 0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:48.320 Like seeing all these other people naked at all? 0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:51.080 I mean, of course you do. And you know I 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:55.160 will say, like, I'm relatively fit, and you know, I 0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:59.760 so for me, I think I don't feel I can't 0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:03.559 for somebody who you know, maybe doesn't feel. 0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:05.559 As positive about their body. 0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:09.960 But again, you know, women especially they're constantly encouraging each other, 0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:14.360 and you know it just you realize that so much 0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:22.640 is in your head and you know it. It's just yeah, 0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:27.240 I mean, you know, you put out a vulnerability that 0:11:27.280 --> 0:11:29.120 makes you feel really comfortable at the end of the 0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:32.600 day when everyone else is so vulnerable and we you know, 0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:37.000 in turn know each other so weirdly well because again 0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:40.560 I think it strips you of, you know, any kind 0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:44.679 of boundaries also in terms of you know, what is 0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:48.079 taboo or you know, when you all see each other 0:11:48.160 --> 0:11:55.760 naked again, it just kind of takes away any you know, shyness. 0:11:56.360 --> 0:11:59.160 So sometimes we know too much of each other's business. 0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:03.120 We got to get this part out of the way. 0:12:04.679 --> 0:12:12.880 Is there a sexually charged energy to the nudist resorts 0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:16.040 or to the nude volleyball. 0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:21.360 So again, that's a big misconception that like, basically nudists 0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:25.719 are swingers, when in fact, swingers are not at all 0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:29.920 naked people generally in the terms of like, I mean, 0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:33.160 they're very different. But I will say so with nudists, 0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:36.720 one of the big things is separating sex from nudity. 0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:39.599 So for example, you're not allowed to wear bathing suits 0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:43.560 because they think that sexualizes you. And it's funny. My 0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:46.439 boyfriend and I were recently in Florida, with his family 0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:48.800 and I was wearing a bathing suit and he was 0:12:48.880 --> 0:12:51.839 looking at me like, you know, oh my goodness. I 0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:53.520 was like, what are you doing? You see me naked 0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:55.640 all the time. Why are you looking at me like that? 0:12:55.679 --> 0:12:57.400 And he's like, I don't know, you just look hot. 0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:03.160 But yeah, I mean you know it's there. If you 0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:06.560 are walking around with a heart on, you're out immediately. Period. 0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:09.080 I mean, that's just weird really. 0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:12.320 But I would say somebody, if somebody is in the 0:13:12.400 --> 0:13:14.360 nudist So if somebody is a part of the newdist 0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:17.760 colony or they're watching the news, I assume, okay, I 0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:20.520 just real quick the audience that these things is naked too, right, 0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:22.319 because it's on a not all of them, but I 0:13:22.320 --> 0:13:23.080 assume a lot of them are. 0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:26.240 It's not mandatory nude, but yeah, as a whole, I 0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:30.400 mean people are in some shape or form, you know, nude. 0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:34.240 So look, obviously if somebody were like jacking off or something, 0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:37.679 that would be inappropriate. But like if just if they 0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:39.880 have a heart on, they're they're out. 0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:43.760 Oh They're they're out one hundred percent, like without any 0:13:44.520 --> 0:13:47.520 evans or butts. And you know, again that's a big thing, 0:13:47.600 --> 0:13:52.040 is safety. I mean, I have never experienced any issues 0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:56.160 with somebody making me feel uncomfortable. But again the reality 0:13:56.200 --> 0:13:58.720 is that everyone's new. So the assumption is that you 0:13:58.840 --> 0:14:01.800 have to be hyper aware of that versus you know, 0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:04.960 if you're at in any other scenario where there's creepers, 0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:10.640 it's just not as hyper aware. And so, you know, again, 0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:14.679 it's just a I mean, there's no tolerance for it. 0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:18.800 But in terms of like, you know, I mean, yes, 0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:24.760 people are we're all you know, adults, Well, I don't 0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:27.680 know people in our prime will say, and so yeah, 0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:31.040 of course sex and hooking up and you know, all 0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:34.840 of that is very prevalent, but it's not any more 0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:38.480 prevalent per se than it would be in another situation. 0:14:41.560 --> 0:14:46.200 But yeah, I mean it's you know again, I think 0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:50.520 that people are you know, you know, a lot more 0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:53.600 about sex, maybe because people are a lot more open 0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:56.640 and willing to share and we're all in sense, so 0:14:56.680 --> 0:14:57.520 you know, what's going on? 0:14:58.200 --> 0:15:00.200 Is that a thing? Just at the volleyball tournament, are 0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:03.080 like at all the nudist colonies, if you get a boner, 0:15:03.120 --> 0:15:03.520 you're out. 0:15:05.560 --> 0:15:08.840 Oh, I mean the volleyball tournaments they're a little bit 0:15:08.880 --> 0:15:11.480 more relaxed on the rules, But when it's not a 0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:18.320 volleyball tournament, they are psycho stritched interest and you know, 0:15:19.280 --> 0:15:23.080 so I would not go to a newdist resort just 0:15:23.120 --> 0:15:25.200 to go per se like I go because of the 0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:29.840 volleyball tournaments and so yeah, and it's not I know 0:15:30.160 --> 0:15:35.680 again like nudy and swingers kind of get you know, 0:15:35.840 --> 0:15:39.080 luve together. But it couldn't be further from the truth. 0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:41.880 And a lot of these places are family friendly, which 0:15:41.920 --> 0:15:46.359 I will say family friendly is outside of my comfort zone, 0:15:47.120 --> 0:15:49.200 you know that I don't like. 0:15:50.440 --> 0:15:53.000 Yeah, that would be that sounds like it would be 0:15:53.040 --> 0:15:55.320 out of the government comfort zone as well. 0:15:56.720 --> 0:16:02.120 For families to see each other nude. Yeah, I mean, 0:16:02.200 --> 0:16:04.680 but why out of the why would the gum or 0:16:04.720 --> 0:16:07.120 why would it be out of the government's comfort gun. 0:16:07.560 --> 0:16:14.080 I look, I'm open. I'm open to the the openness 0:16:14.120 --> 0:16:18.560 of d I am open to the idea of desexualizing nudity, 0:16:19.160 --> 0:16:23.920 but I keep the no. 0:16:23.920 --> 0:16:27.760 I completely agree it weirds me out. But again that's 0:16:27.880 --> 0:16:31.880 my comfort zone not there. So you know, I respect that. 0:16:31.960 --> 0:16:34.680 But do I what if I have a family, Am 0:16:34.720 --> 0:16:38.360 I gonna like, you know, raise my kids like that? No, 0:16:39.160 --> 0:16:42.120 But it's not per se about like separating sex from 0:16:42.200 --> 0:16:45.240 nudity in terms of like my friends in our volleyball tournament, 0:16:45.280 --> 0:16:48.360 it's just again a you know, it's a byproduct of 0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:51.800 you know, just our situation, Like we just happened to 0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:54.120 be nude, and I think that's a huge part of what, 0:16:54.920 --> 0:16:59.160 you know, has made us such a great and close group. 0:16:59.280 --> 0:16:59.480 Great. 0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:02.800 There's probably like four hundred of us that are you know, well, 0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:07.120 I would say two hundreds that are regulars at every tournament. 0:17:07.280 --> 0:17:11.800 But it's, you know, it's just a means of like 0:17:11.880 --> 0:17:16.400 hanging out with your friends, but on a totally different, crazier, 0:17:16.480 --> 0:17:17.520 more vulnerable level. 0:17:18.119 --> 0:17:18.440 I keep. 0:17:18.560 --> 0:17:21.800 I mean again, we party really hard, we play hard, 0:17:21.840 --> 0:17:23.359 but we're probably party harder. 0:17:25.040 --> 0:17:27.840 I mean, yeah, it sounds like, no, it's I'm so 0:17:27.880 --> 0:17:30.920 supri I'm just I guess I'm like, I'm sorry, I 0:17:30.920 --> 0:17:33.080 won't let the boner thing go. But it just seems like, 0:17:33.480 --> 0:17:37.760 I maybe this is where the misconceptions lie. But I 0:17:37.880 --> 0:17:41.159 assume actually, Okay, the more I'm thinking about it, I 0:17:41.200 --> 0:17:43.440 was gonna say, at first, I assumed that people would 0:17:43.440 --> 0:17:46.160 be walking around these places with boners all the time, 0:17:46.200 --> 0:17:51.320 hopefully not the family ones, but I assume people working 0:17:51.320 --> 0:17:52.680 on with boners with that, but also I'm like, I'm 0:17:52.720 --> 0:17:54.920 kind of putting myself there, right, I'm like, I'm naked, 0:17:54.960 --> 0:17:57.000 all these other people are naked. It does it? Actually? 0:17:57.960 --> 0:18:00.000 When I think about it, and I had to go 0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:02.639 to a nudist colony, i'd see what's going on over there. 0:18:03.080 --> 0:18:08.320 It kind of actually sounds like a pretty not sexually 0:18:08.480 --> 0:18:11.160 charged place when I think about it, When I really 0:18:11.200 --> 0:18:12.960 put myself out there, it seems like kind of a 0:18:15.200 --> 0:18:19.200 a very normal vibe, except everyone's naked, although I will 0:18:19.200 --> 0:18:24.359 say at night maybe a different story. 0:18:26.400 --> 0:18:28.760 Yeah, And again I think it's you know, like you 0:18:28.800 --> 0:18:32.240 were talking about going to Electric Chorus and like the 0:18:32.320 --> 0:18:35.840 music festival or like ban Aru, it would be similar 0:18:36.640 --> 0:18:39.919 issue to that, except for during the day you have 0:18:40.280 --> 0:18:44.040 you're playing various tournaments and each day is different whether 0:18:44.080 --> 0:18:49.080 you play sand grass or hardcourt. But and then at night, 0:18:49.240 --> 0:18:52.639 like everybody's partying, but you just don't have clothes on 0:18:52.800 --> 0:18:57.280 and we're not all dark nuds, so you can't don't 0:18:57.480 --> 0:19:01.280 like I'm sure like envisioning you looking out and everybody's 0:19:01.400 --> 0:19:05.000 dark nude, like that's just that's not really. 0:19:05.720 --> 0:19:07.600 Yeah, how this. 0:19:07.680 --> 0:19:12.000 Create like people a lot of well, like you know, 0:19:12.240 --> 0:19:18.040 I wear like not pasmin as, strongs, like a lot 0:19:18.080 --> 0:19:22.960 of people wear strongs that cover up some and you know, 0:19:23.040 --> 0:19:27.359 for some reason, onesies are huge at night. But you 0:19:27.400 --> 0:19:31.239 know it's again, I think it's a the fact that 0:19:31.280 --> 0:19:33.639 you're all nude and you're so comfortable being nude and 0:19:33.680 --> 0:19:37.959 you don't think about it. It just creates a bond 0:19:38.200 --> 0:19:40.959 and you know, connection with the other people that you 0:19:41.000 --> 0:19:42.359 don't find outside of that. 0:19:42.640 --> 0:19:46.640 Now, Megan and the other part, tell me, tell what's 0:19:47.320 --> 0:19:50.000 I mean you say you play hard, you party harder. 0:19:50.040 --> 0:19:52.000 What's what? What kind of crazy things are going on 0:19:52.040 --> 0:19:53.600 at these parties that I want to kind of get 0:19:53.600 --> 0:19:54.040 into that? 0:19:55.960 --> 0:19:59.520 So we have so we have well now four main 0:19:59.640 --> 0:20:03.600 dejas and again, I mean I can send you videos 0:20:03.600 --> 0:20:07.639 and pictures. I mean it's quite a production that you know, 0:20:07.720 --> 0:20:10.560 we put together. It's not like you know, somebody doing 0:20:10.560 --> 0:20:16.640 a playlist, and you know, there's definitely a lot of mushrooms, 0:20:16.680 --> 0:20:19.320 a lot of acids, a lot of molly, there's a 0:20:19.320 --> 0:20:26.160 lot of drug sets happened, and you know it's that's crazy. 0:20:26.480 --> 0:20:30.800 I mean, you know, it's just people having a really 0:20:31.440 --> 0:20:33.040 good time, a lot of dancing. 0:20:35.160 --> 0:20:38.760 Like I've been reading the chat I'm sorry for reading 0:20:38.800 --> 0:20:41.840 the chat, but somebody in the chat asked. If somebody 0:20:41.880 --> 0:20:44.720 the chat asked if dogs are allowed at the newdest Colonies, 0:20:44.760 --> 0:20:47.280 I'll answer this one. They are, but they have to 0:20:47.320 --> 0:20:50.800 wear clothes. 0:20:52.280 --> 0:20:55.320 It depends on the resort. They all have different rules 0:20:55.960 --> 0:20:59.040 about whether or not dogs are allowed. I mean, we've 0:20:59.040 --> 0:21:04.480 brought our dog to a tournament before, but really they're 0:21:04.560 --> 0:21:07.760 just a pain in the ass to deal with because 0:21:07.800 --> 0:21:13.920 you have to watch them. 0:21:14.240 --> 0:21:17.159 What's your like you put? Let's I it was I. 0:21:17.320 --> 0:21:19.320 First of all, thanks for calling in and talking about 0:21:19.320 --> 0:21:22.199 all this stuff. This is fascinating. I might try to 0:21:22.359 --> 0:21:25.439 I don't know where a Newdiest colony is, but I 0:21:25.440 --> 0:21:28.480 have always been fascinated by the idea. I definitely want 0:21:28.520 --> 0:21:30.120 to try going to one at some point. 0:21:30.240 --> 0:21:32.040 You want to go during a volleyball tournament. 0:21:32.400 --> 0:21:36.399 When you give any volleyball tournaments going on in California 0:21:36.480 --> 0:21:40.320 and Los Angeles. 0:21:39.440 --> 0:21:43.320 None that I go to. So the like I said, 0:21:43.359 --> 0:21:48.760 we had the music festival coming up July twenty third, 0:21:50.160 --> 0:21:53.919 and that's outside of Philly, and then the big the 0:21:53.960 --> 0:21:58.480 biggest tournament, which you know, I think for newcomers because 0:21:58.520 --> 0:22:00.720 you see all like the traditions and we have like 0:22:00.800 --> 0:22:03.360 this group called the Teaki's and there's you know, all 0:22:03.400 --> 0:22:07.360 these rituals and it's just it's super fun. But that's 0:22:07.400 --> 0:22:13.760 in September, the weekend before Labor Day or after Labor Day, 0:22:15.680 --> 0:22:19.199 and that's a resort called White Thorn. But I promise 0:22:19.280 --> 0:22:22.399 you if you went and you would never look back. 0:22:22.880 --> 0:22:23.280 What is it? 0:22:23.320 --> 0:22:28.120 Where the people that where is it? It's that White 0:22:28.200 --> 0:22:33.520 Thorn Lodge. Goodness, don't ask me where exactly? Vfi outside 0:22:33.560 --> 0:22:38.359 of Philly, Okay, I could see myself going there at 0:22:38.359 --> 0:22:44.600 some point. No, I mean, I'm it's you know, I do. 0:22:44.640 --> 0:22:46.600 You have to also think about the type of people 0:22:46.600 --> 0:22:49.040 who are willing to go to this also. 0:22:49.080 --> 0:22:51.000 I want to say something, really, I want to say something. 0:22:51.200 --> 0:22:53.000 I'm sorry, keep in with you. But somebody else in 0:22:53.040 --> 0:22:55.840 the chat brought up an interesting point. They said, what 0:22:55.960 --> 0:22:58.720 about female boners? They're getting away with it. 0:23:01.520 --> 0:23:07.359 I mean, I guess, so sorry, I guess. But just 0:23:07.400 --> 0:23:09.520 putting yourself in a situation if you were at a 0:23:09.600 --> 0:23:12.120 day party and somebody's walking around with a boner through 0:23:12.160 --> 0:23:13.720 their pants, that's weird. 0:23:14.960 --> 0:23:16.600 You know, I don't. It's just the thing I think 0:23:16.840 --> 0:23:18.960 I feel I would feel bad for them, because a 0:23:19.040 --> 0:23:22.800 bone like a boner. Again, like I said, if somebody 0:23:22.880 --> 0:23:24.959 was like standing in the middle of the nudist colony 0:23:25.040 --> 0:23:27.320 jacking off, it's like, yeah, that guy's you know, he's 0:23:27.320 --> 0:23:29.240 got to go. But if he's I mean a boner, 0:23:29.280 --> 0:23:31.719 it's like, I feel bad for that guy because if 0:23:31.760 --> 0:23:33.720 you have if you're wearing clothes and you have a boner, 0:23:33.800 --> 0:23:36.919 you can like tuck it up into your thing or 0:23:36.920 --> 0:23:38.680 put your hand in your pocket. But if you're naked, 0:23:38.720 --> 0:23:41.320 it's like, what are you going to do? You can't. 0:23:41.359 --> 0:23:44.720 Even if you're being a gentleman and you have a 0:23:44.760 --> 0:23:47.560 boner out in public, you can do. You have you 0:23:47.680 --> 0:23:51.679 have choices that you can make to conceal your boner. 0:23:52.280 --> 0:23:57.480 You can walk away, Yeah, I guess happen, you know. 0:23:57.600 --> 0:23:59.440 Put your boner in time out. 0:24:01.400 --> 0:24:04.280 Basically, I mean I've messed with my boyfriend before and 0:24:04.400 --> 0:24:06.639 kind of pot uncle may happened. Are people on the 0:24:06.680 --> 0:24:09.400 dance floor. But again, there's a difference between like blatantly 0:24:09.440 --> 0:24:11.080 walking around with a boner and. 0:24:11.480 --> 0:24:15.120 A minute hold on, hold on, So you've you've you've 0:24:15.160 --> 0:24:17.880 been with your boyfriend, so you've done this thing where 0:24:17.880 --> 0:24:19.440 you've been with yours around. 0:24:19.359 --> 0:24:22.920 Like you've messed around a little bit to give him shit. 0:24:23.119 --> 0:24:25.400 You give him a boner and then you run away 0:24:25.400 --> 0:24:27.920 and he has a boner, Get him out of here. 0:24:30.520 --> 0:24:36.600 That would be hilarious if I did that. But yeah, 0:24:36.720 --> 0:24:40.320 I mean, you know, it's there's just again, it's a 0:24:40.760 --> 0:24:46.639
