Summary

We're excited to present a collaborative episode with Mr. and Mrs. Jones of We Gotta Thing podcast! Mr. & Mrs. Jones are the hosts of the We Gotta Thing podcast. They are social swingers who place the highest importance on their primary relationship while seeking friendships and meaningful sexual experiences with others, together as a team. Their podcast chronicles their journey into and through this lifestyle over the last decade. Everything they share is based on the perspective of their own personal preferences and experiences in the lifestyle. They believe there are many valid ways to approach non-monogamy that differ from theirs—they respect that even while sticking to and talking about what works for and appeals to them.During this collaboration, we interview Mr. and Mrs. Jones about their experiences in the swinger community, and then they interview us about polyamory/non-monogamy, and to wrap up the episode, we have a discussion about new relationship energy (NRE).

0:19.2	polyamorous folks is going to be from March 3rd to
0:22.0	the 6th of 2026. So if you've been feeling like maybe your brain is on board with non-monogamy,
0:28.6	but your emotions are having a hard time catching up, or maybe you've been struggling to access
0:33.8	feelings of joy or safety or ease, Or maybe you're just feeling isolated in your

0:45.2	with other polyamorous people without having to explain yourself or your relationships.
0:50.8	If that sounds like you, please consider joining us. We handle all of the details so that
0:56.7	you can be totally present. So your accommodations are covered. You don't have to clean or cook.
1:02.9	All of your meals and snacks and drinks are taken care of. We really want people to feel as
