« And we hosted swing parties, » he continued. « This was in the tabloids. And my favorite part of that happening was we got a lot of texts from other friends of ours saying, ‘How could you not have invited me to the swinger party?’

« They were teasing, of course, cause they know us and they know we’re not hosting swinger parties, » Shepard clarified.
