Speaker 1 (00:01):
Well, look at here.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
You are listening to someone who is bold, authentic, diverse, unpredictable. Baby,
I am unapologetically Ramond, and you have entered my zone,
the QB zone.

Speaker 1 (00:13):
Baby. Hello, somebody rock ja.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
Well well, well look I see we're on down to
the QB zone one more time. Listen, why have your
attention for a few minutes. I have noticed that this
season I've talked about a lot of serious topics. I'm heavy,
but differently a lot of serious topics dealing with mental
health and aspects of life and matters of the heart

(01:15):
and just different things like that. Well, today I'm gonna play,
have a little fun and talk about something that's a
little more I mean for me personally. It's entertaining because
I've seen a wide array of people in my life
have this component within their love life, right, And I've

(01:35):
seen a wide variety of ways that this has has occurred,
some very interesting details, some very interesting outcomes. And so
the topic today is basically about having a mistress or
a mister. Some people just simply call it a side piece,

(02:00):
and so I just thought it would be fun to
touch on a topic that, like I said, highly entertains
me and I have dealt with indirectly many times. I've
lived vicariously through family and friends and others who have

(02:20):
had a love life that consists of their main and
a side piece. So I definitely want to talk about
the unspoken perks of having a side piece. You know,
in a world where traditional relationship dynamics are evolving, the
concept of having a side piece is gaining more visibility
among millennials. While societal noise may frown upon such arrangements,

(02:45):
there are hidden advantages to having a side piece.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
That often go unrecognized.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
So I want to dive into the unspoken perks that
come with embracing a non traditional approach to relationships. And
let's see how many perks I have. Feeling, man, let's
see what I listed for y'all. I have to drift six,
just six. I probably should have came umber one more
cause I say seven is the number of completion and

(03:10):
five is my favorite number. So whatever, we'll just go
ahead and stick with six. So the first one is
novelty and excitement. Picture this, Okay, you're ready to picture this.
The rush of excitement that comes with the forbidden Having
a side piece introduces an element of novelty, and three

(03:31):
into an otherwise routine existence. The clandestine meetings, secret messages,
and stolen moments create an adrenaline pumping experience that can
reignite passion and add a sense of adventure to your life.
The second one is escape from monotony. Life can sometimes

(03:56):
feel like a never ending loop of responsibility and obligations.
In such moments, a side piece can offer a refreshing
escape from the mundane. Spending time with someone who is
not intertwined in your daily routine can provide a breath
of fresh air, allowing you to disconnect from stressors and

(04:19):
enjoy moments of pure and uncomplicated joy. The third option
personal growth. Engaging with a mission with a side piece, sorry,
can offer valuable insights into your own desires, boundaries, and
emotional needs. By navigating a relationship that exists outside society norms,

(04:44):
you may find yourself exploring aspects of your personality that
are previously uncharted. This self discovery journey can lead to
personal growth and the deeper understanding of your own identity.
Four enhance communication skills. Maintaining a relationship with a side

(05:07):
piece requires open communication, honesty, and transparency. By honing these
skills in on traditional on non traditional setting, you may
find that your ability to articulate your feelings and needs
improves significantly. These enhanced communication skills can positively impact all

(05:29):
areas of your life, including your professional relationships and friendships.
Number five Less pressure, more freedom Listen. Unlike regular relationships
or the traditional relationships that often come with societal expectations

(05:49):
and long term commitments, having a side piece allows for
a more laid back and flexible dynamic. There is less
pressure to conform to preconceived notions of what a relationship
should be, providing both parties with the freedom to define
their own terms and boundaries. Number six or the last

(06:16):
perk that I have for you, guys, A different perspective.
That's it, a different perspective, listen. Interacting with a side
piece can offer a fresh perspective on life, relationships and
personal values. Their unique experiences, outlooks, and opinions can challenge
your preconceptions and broaden your horizons. Embracing diverse viewpoints can

(06:41):
lead to personal growth and a more inclusive mindset. Embracing
the idea of having a side piece may not align
with traditional relationship norms, but it can offer a range
of benefits that are often overlooked, from adding excitement to

(07:03):
your life and fostering personal growth, to enhancing communication skills
and providing a fresh perspective. The advantages of having a
side piece can go beyond the surface level stigma associated
with such arrangements. So next time you find yourself intrigued

(07:26):
by a notion, by the notion of a side piece,
by the notion of having a side piece, remember that
there may be more to gain than meets the eye.
In a world where individuality and non conforming are celebrated,
exploring unconventional relationship dynamics could be the key to unlocking

(07:49):
hidden gems, hidden joys, and personal revelations. After all, life
is too short to lend yourself to one version of happiness.
Why not embrace the unexpected and discover a new dimension
of fulfillment. Now, let me just say this, Let me
just go ahead and put this out there, this whole

(08:11):
thing about having a side piece. A mister and a mistress, Right,
I'm talking about dating when you are in monogamous relationships
boyfriend girlfriend, girlfriend, girlfriend, boyfriend, boyfriend, whatever your cup of teas, right,
I'm talking about when we are in these monogamous dating relationships,

(08:34):
I in no way, shape or form am talking about
when you are in marriage. That's a whole different thing.
When you're married one wrong, just we, no side piece,
just we, no side nothing. Now, if you and your
significant other, you and your spouse engage engaging in side activities,

(08:57):
and you decide that that's something that y'all are going
to bring into your marriage, that's totally different.

Speaker 1 (09:01):
But to be out here having.

Speaker 2 (09:02):
These side pieces in the and live with a whole
different life in private while you're married, absolutely not. Once again,
if Ridges's boyfriend, girl friend Ridges, you know, in a
monogamous dating relationship, totally different. That is what this article
is about. Not stepping out your marriage. We're talking about
regular dating relationships. Okay, So I don't want nobody to,

(09:27):
you know, the church people or certain people get up
in arms like you approving people cheating. No, I'm not
approving nobody steps outside their relationship, outside their marriage. Now,
if you haven't gotten married, if you ain't putting no
ring on it, and you still want to explore some things,
by all means.

Speaker 1 (09:42):
I think you should.

Speaker 2 (09:43):
But once you get to the point where you want
to take that next step, all that side. Stuff should
be going down the toilet, flush it.

Speaker 1 (09:51):
Get rid of it.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
And let's be clear, you shouldn't be waiting until after
you say I do. Because to sit here and think that, oh,
because you said I doing that, you're going to change
your ways overnight, that's a lie from the pit of hell.
I think that when you get to the point when
you feel like taking it to the next level, which
is proposing, then that's when you should get all of

(10:15):
this size stuff audio system. You should not even propose
until you have an audio system. I feel like you shouldn't.
But until you get to the point that you know
this is the way you want to take the relationship,
by all means, try different flavors until you see the
one that you you preferred, the one you want to
go with. Okay, so listen, of course, of course, of

(10:36):
course you know I'm gonna leave with the quote. So
I came across a quote by someone named Billy Cox,
and it says life will only change when you become
more committed to your dreams than you are to your
comfort zone.

Ruthie's Table 4

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.
