Kicked Under The Table

In this episode of Mojo in the Morning, host Mojo (Clifford Taylor IV) shares a humorous yet revealing personal story about being kicked under the table by his wife, Chelsea, during a dinner outing. The incident occurred when he asked probing questions about a friend’s past relationships—something that was clearly off-limits. What started as a lighthearted anecdote quickly evolved into a broader conversation about unspoken signals couples use to shut down sensitive topics in public. Listeners chimed in with their own intimate, often physical, ways of signaling their partners to stop talking—ranging from foot kicks and pinches to stern looks, eyebrow raises, and coded words like 'W' or using first names. The discussion highlighted how couples develop private, nonverbal communication systems to manage emotional landmines during social outings. The episode also touched on the emotional intelligence required in relationships, with a nod to the 60% of couples who reportedly argue on the way home, underscoring the importance of pre-dinner agreements and emotional awareness. The segment ended with a promotional plug for Mojo’s new podcast, The Clifford Show, emphasizing raw, unfiltered conversations with athletes and creators.
