In this week’s episode, hosts Zack, Josie, Brad, and Brittany dive into one of the most universally frustrating parts of the lifestyle: communication… or the lack of it. From last-minute confirmations that never come to couples who keep others dangling “just in case,” the crew unpacks the subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways poor communication can waste time, strain friendships, and complicate connections.

They explore why it feels so disrespectful when couples make plans but go silent when it’s time to confirm, and how annoying it is when someone breaks a commitment and then disappears—only to ask you to suggest a new time and never respond. The hosts also share their collective experience with a notoriously flaky couple whose repeated excuses have become a running theme in their local community.

The conversation moves into whether people owe each other explanations when interest fades, or whether being honest only invites unnecessary drama. They also examine the sting of being ghosted by close friends, and the gray area where “ghosting” isn’t so clear—especially in a dynamic with multiple people, mismatched levels of interest, or partners who aren’t on the same page.

Ultimately, the group acknowledges what everyone secretly knows: the lifestyle is awkward, interest is complicated, and communication between couples is hard. But understanding how these behaviors affect others—and recognizing the subjectivity of what counts as ghosting—can make navigating it all just a little easier.

This week, the Two Plus Two Crew tackles a playful term with some serious depth — premature evacuation. No, not that kind — we’re talking about those moments when play ends earlier than planned and all the emotions that can come with it.

Zack, Josie, Brad, and Brittany open up about the messy, human side of swinging — from people-pleasing and communication breakdowns to triggers and shame. Josie shares a few personal experiences that highlight how past trauma can resurface in unexpected ways, and the group talks candidly about how to give ourselves and our partners grace when those moments happen.

They dig into the importance of being honest with ourselves, clear with our partners, and compassionate with our playmates — because no one can read our minds, no matter how in sync we think we are. The Crew also shares tips for better communication and staying connected even when things don’t go as planned.

Of course, there are still plenty of laughs — at each other’s expense and their own — as they explore how the lifestyle continues to challenge, teach, and strengthen their relationships.

This week, the Two Plus Two Crew gets real about one of the lifestyle’s biggest questions — can swinging actually make your relationship stronger?

Zack and Josie open up about what it was like being in the lifestyle during their previous marriages — how they got into it, where things went wrong, and what they’ve learned since. They share how, through their evolution in the lifestyle together, their marriage has grown through honesty, vulnerability, and countless deep conversations about what truly matters.

Brad and Brittany bring their own experiences to the table, sharing insecurities and insights that couples everywhere can relate to. Together, the crew explores how men and women often see the lifestyle through different lenses — and how those differences can either pull you apart or bring you closer.

From trust and transparency to authenticity and acceptance, they reveal how the lifestyle can strengthen your bond — if you’re willing to put in the work (and maybe bare a little more than just your bodies).

Because when you can show up fully as yourself — love yourself — and be loved for it, that’s when your relationship truly comes alive.

This week, the vampires turn down the lights and turn up the honesty. Zack and Josie welcome Stone and Selene, a couple who first stepped into the lifestyle so Selene could explore her attraction to women. What began as a soft spark of curiosity evolved into a full swap journey—complete with steamy firsts, emotional growth, and plenty of delicious self-discovery.

Stone opens up about his own inner work—navigating the envy and insecurity that came with watching Selene experience pleasure with another man. Their story isn’t about drama or broken trust; it’s about personal reflection, emotional courage, and a deeply supportive partnership. With Selene by his side, Stone learned how shifting beliefs can unlock new levels of connection and play.

From FF encounters to unforgettable threesomes (and that oh-so-important “who’s in the middle?” moment), this episode is a reminder that real growth can be just as sexy as the play itself.
