Episode Summary – QUICKIE: Having The Talk
Starting the journey into ethical non-monogamy isn't about parties or dating apps—it begins with a single conversation: how do you even bring this up with your partner? In this Lifestyle 101 Wednesday QUICKIE, Adam & Pris get raw, funny, and brutally honest about what that first talk looked like for them (spoiler: it wasn't perfect) and what they've learned along the way.
They share:
-
Timing matters – don't drop the "lifestyle bomb" in the middle of a fight or after a few too many drinks.
-
The preamble is everything – set the stage gently, ask if your partner is in a good headspace, and be ready for big feelings.
-
Insecurities are normal – both men and women may wonder, "Am I not enough?" and that's okay.
-
Reassurance isn't optional – words of affirmation, consistent support, and clear communication keep your foundation solid.
-
Rules and boundaries – from safe words to texting check-ins, clear agreements protect both your relationship and your fun.
-
Consent is sexy – not just with play partners, but between you and your spouse, every step of the way.
Adam & Pris keep it 100% real about jealousy, insecurities, ultimatums, and the mistakes they made as newbies—and they drop practical advice for how couples can avoid the crash-and-burn moments while setting themselves up for success.
At the end of the day, "having the talk" isn't a one-time thing. It's a conversation that will keep evolving with your relationship, and the key is staying honest, open, and connected.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
