Are We Dropping the Ball on Appreciation in Relationships? | On the Contrary.

Season 2, Episode 11: "Are We Dropping the Ball on Appreciation in Relationships?"

The panel opened with a simple question: when was the last time you told someone you appreciate them? Somehow, it ended up somewhere nobody saw coming. 🗣️💔

Rah Ali, Kash the Sexologist, Luis, Rico, and Taz are back at the table. This episode, they're digging into something that sounds simple until you actually sit with it: do we actively show appreciation in our relationships, or do we just assume the other person already knows? Because assuming is never the same as showing—and the panel has very different opinions on what appreciation actually looks like in practice.

Taz kicks things off with an appreciation story that has the whole table losing it before the first commercial break. Rico wants to know the dollar amount, Luis says it was long overdue, and Kash is stuck between being scandalized and impressed! 😂

From there, the conversation dives into love languages, how people receive appreciation differently, and why what feels like "enough" to you might feel like absolute bare minimum to your partner.

And then Rico tells a story: his homies, a high-stakes rock-paper-scissors tournament, Trojan condoms, and a dinner tab that did not get settled the way anyone planned. The moral of the night? Always bring your own money. Period.

Show appreciation before someone else steps in and shows them how. We're not letting anybody off the hook. On the contrary
