but what we'll see, we'll make app we'll figure out
how to make a happ to that. Yeah okay, okay,
So you know we have old, old, old letters too
that we like to read. Because we held onto them. Yes,
all right, so this is from Crystal. This is from

(04:30):
July twenty twenty four. So something we talked about back then,
she said, about rude things. I guess we were talking
about things that we find rude. Yes, rude to Okay,
go ahead, she said, I was surprised that some of
your answers it is. It is totally rude to talk
on speaker in public. Why do I have to hear
your business? And I don't go into people's homes empty handed. However,

(04:52):
I so agree with Robin about cashiers and clerks saying
nothing when you step up to the counter. That's rude.
I always greet that and sometimes get no response. Agreed
that strong perfume on public transit is rude. It gives
me a headache. I love you both. Okay, okay, let's
start for the beginning. We got a few things to
talk about, yes, okay, So what was the first one?

(05:13):
The speaker phone? Speakerphone? Okay, So for years.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
My phone I couldn't hear anyone unless it was on speaker.
Oh really, yeah, that was like even five in my house.
Like if I'm not if I have no one around me,
I cannot hear it because my phone was broke.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
Okay, so suck it right, it is what it is. Sorry, Okay,
I'm sorry. I you know, I am like the rude police.
Sometimes I find certain things to be rude. But that
is the one thing that I do all the time.
I I don't like. Yes, if it's rude, I'm sorry.

(05:49):
It's just what's the difference between if Giselle and I
were in public having a conversation versus like me having
a conversation on the phone. Yes, speaker, it's like the
same thing. So it's totally the same thing. So pretend
that I'm on speaker. I mean, I'm having a conversation
with that person standing right next to me right right now.
I was in an airport from my early flight not

(06:10):
too long ago, and there was four people, two couples,
and they were talking.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
This is like five o'clock in the morning, guys, and
the lady is so loud and she's laughing like I
promise you I want to get up and smack her.
Like I just was like, lady, it's too loud for
all this shit. So I get that it's time and place.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
Yeahh no, right, I get it. So okay, if I'm
on if I'm on speaker, it's not the volumes not
all the way up now, it's your turned down. Yeah,
it's more just for like me to hear. So I
do try to at least keep my volume down. But
I don't want the little radio waves. I don't want
the phone next to my ear.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
You know, because they're saying, oh oh, speaking of that,
we off digress are They're saying they're saying that athletes
now don't use the earbuds, they use the the cord,
the cords, okay, because they have learned that it's too
hard for your brain.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
Yeah yeah, I mean for me, it's like these this
technology is still so new that like I don't know
that I trust it. I don't know that I trust
these wireless headsets, the phones, all of that. Like, so
I just I don't I don't want it next to
my my brain, not all the time. No, yeah, no, yeah,
So that's why I use airbuds. Do you have the

(07:30):
wire I don't use. I don't. That's the thing. I
don't like anything on my ears nothing. I don't like.
What if you're on a plane, I that is like
the probably the only time that I do use them,
but I use them. I only use it on the plane.
Yeah yeah, yeah, that would be the only time. But
like even when I work out, but when I walk,

(07:51):
I just put it on my I have like a
arm yeah, like an arm band that I put my
phone on and if i'm and I put my music
up high. Yeah. Right. So, like I'm in the gym
yesterday with my armband on with my music playing. But
I'm not being rude because they're playing music like throughout
the gym, So I'm not like, Okay, that's a little route.

(08:12):
It's not what was anybody around? You know. It's not
super loud. It's it's just loud enough that like I
can hear it, okay, cook, but I can't drown out
the music that's already playing in the gym. Gym? Are
you in lifetime? Okay? So they're playing is it loud?
Is that their music loud? It's not super loud, but
it's still loud enough that my little music on my
armband is not going to bother you.

Speaker 1 (08:34):
It's gonna bother her what's her name again, Crystal Crystal.
And I'm gonna wear whatever perfume I want to wear.
And I'm gonna spray as many sprays as I want to.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
Okay. See, so I had to tell one the other day.
He had this new cologne on that I hadn't really
smelled him where, and he wore it like two days
in a row, and we took this is the day
we drove to Virginia. So we're in the car driving
like two and a half hours each way. Yeah, and
I was like, okay, it was driving me crazy. He
was giving me a headache. I didn't like the scent,

(09:05):
and I was like, if I say something, he's going
to be like offended, you know, you like, be like
careful how you pick. But finally I couldn't take anymore.
So we got home. I was like, can I tell
you something? You don't get offended?

Speaker 1 (09:17):
But you're so nice around because I would have been like, uh,
that shit stink.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
Though. I'm like this new cologne that you're wearing, it's
a little strong for me. It's giving me a headache,
and I don't really like the scent. I'm like, I'm
like what is it? Like where did this come from?
Because I've never really felt that way about his sense before,
And like I could tell instantly he was like, oh,
It's like he was, like, didn't even want me to
tell me where it was from. Yeah, and now I

(09:44):
know why. This is Like Louis Vauton cologne costs like
four hundred dollars and I'm over here telling him.

Speaker 1 (09:51):
That it stinks like that it's which one because I
have like three of theirs that I love.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
Corey has one that one BA that I like. But
this scent, whatever it is, it's something in it that
just like you don't like it. It's too much for me.
So I don't know. I think sometimes when people when
you think they're wearing too much perfume, it's not that
it's like not agreeing, it's just that it's not agreeing
with you, you know, because I've never had that complaint

(10:18):
with him before on anything else. It was just whatever
that scent was, it was too strong. Has he wanted again? No, Oh,
so that's I say. He said, Now you got me.
Now I can't wear my Colonne anymore. I said, well,
maybe try like just use it a little bit, like
or mix it, tell them to mix it or something else. Yeah, yeah,
I'm good. I like I like mixing. Yeah. See, I'm

(10:40):
and I'm not like I rarely wear perfumes because they
give me headaches. Oh yeah, it's like all myself, like
it's just too much. So yeah, and then going to
people's houses empty handed. I'm sorry. Yeah, I guess I'm rude.

Speaker 1 (10:52):
Well it depends if are you there every week and
then you don't get no gift. If it's your first time,
you should good. But if it doesn't happen, oh well right, yeah.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
I feel like if they're inviting you over for a
dinner party just for you, or for like a small
dinner party, yind but if it's like a big party, yeah,
like I'm not looking. I don't want all I don't
want every person that.

Speaker 1 (11:16):
Walk out to keep bringing me something, right, and I
don't if you're coming to my house for the first time,
I'm not expecting you to bring anything at all.

Speaker 2 (11:25):
No, I got it covered, right, I'm not expecting anything.
And then most of the time when people bring stuff
to like your home for like a house party or dinner,
they're recycling something out of their own house.

Speaker 1 (11:35):
Oh I love doing that shit, right, Yes, I'd be like,
let me go into my liqua closet and see what
I have.

Speaker 2 (11:41):
Exactly, So I'm like, no, like I don't know. I
don't I think I don't think that's rude at all.
I think that's I think it's courteous and thoughtful if
someone does bring something, But I don't think the people
who don't bring something are rude. Totally, yeah, totally, all right,
do we cover all of hers? Yeah? Pre okay, all right,
you got one more? I do, okay. So this is

(12:03):
from Lilyhi Lily again. This is from this is older.
This is from August of twenty twenty four. She said, Hey, ladies,
love y'all and listening to the pod every week. Robin,
I was excited to hear you might be on the
next season of The Traders, whatever project you were working on.
You know, I'll be watching, just like I did when
you were on Ultimate Girls Trip, which is ou Now.

(12:23):
Like I said, I love y'all, but I cannot co
sign what y'all have been saying about j Lo lately.
I was shocked to hear you sighed so hard with
Affleck when he was half of that marriage. I have
noticed that y'all have sometimes been hard on women in
the past or believed slash restated comments about them, like
the claim that jay Loo orders at restaurants by telling

(12:45):
her assistant what she wants and the assistant orders, like,
there's no way that's real. People what okay? People are
out here in these streets saying crazy things about you
both too sometimes, So I was surprised to hear women
like you with personal experience insists with celebrity status and
public divorces only comment on the woman in a celebrity
divorce scenario in saying how miserable a man looks in pictures,

(13:09):
et cetera. He does he did right now, you'ven real happy, right,
without wondering what he did to let the relationship end
up in a divorce too. I'm not against talking about Bennifer,
but I just would like to hear more about both parties. Okay, okay,
love y'all come to Boston, Lily.

Speaker 1 (13:26):
Okay, So Jennifer recently, I wanted to talk about this
unreal on the other one but anyway says she's never
been she's never been loved, She's never been loved properly
right or yeah, like she says she's never been loved,
she ever been loved? Yeah right, and that she minds you.
She'd been married like four or five times. Engaged four,

(13:46):
five times, six times, eight times, something like that one
hundred times, and everybody like through shading criticism.

Speaker 2 (13:53):
Yes, however, I understand yeah, wait what Jaelo said. I
understand what Jelo said. Agree with it? Well, it doesn't
matter if I agree with it, But I do understand
what she was trying to say, because she went further
to say they weren't capable, right, Okay, she forgot the
concept of relationship. Yeah, she threw that out the window.

Speaker 1 (14:16):
And in a relationship, there's no like perfection there, there's
no You're never going to find a man that knows
how to satisfy you and or meets your needs right
all the time. Right, that's not it, and vice versa.
You ain't gonna meet his needs right all the time.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
That's called a relationship, always gonna be happy. Yes, But
I understood what she was saying. I understood, hones stood
from my life what she was saying. Really totally. Okay,
so she just but no, okay, okay, you have not
been married four or five times now, you have not
been engaged because I didn't let it get that far.

Speaker 1 (14:56):
But I've been in a but slow of relationship, right,
and I'm to blame as well, because what Jaelo forgot
to say is she's part of the.

Speaker 2 (15:03):
Problem, right, she didn't say that part.

Speaker 1 (15:05):
I'm gonna say, I Giselle am part of the problem
because I don't half the time care enough to figure
out how you want to be loved. And maybe the
guys don't do that either, But that requires work.

Speaker 2 (15:21):
And that is a relationship. It requires work, exactly so.
And then the ex the first ex husband, Oh, he mad,
he mad, mad, yeah, but hurt. Yeah, he went off,
he went off and pretty much I don't know, did
he call her a narcissist? And all he did, he
just he went in, I don't yeah, see I don't.
I don't. I don't agree with with not that I

(15:42):
don't agree with it, but she was putting it. She
was It almost felt like she was victimizing herself.

Speaker 1 (15:47):
She was, which is her typical j LO. And she shouldn't.
She should also have ownership for her side. Relationship is
two sides, right, And she did not. And but for
you to say that you haven't been in a reallyationship
in which the man is capable of loving you how
you want to be loved, I understand that. So Jaylo,

(16:07):
I had your back and then I left it back.

Speaker 2 (16:12):
Like eight seconds. But regarding like whatever we said about
her before, and I understand what you're saying, Lily, you know, right,
why do we just take the one side and go
at j Lo and not consider the because of her track? Said?
Because of her track? Because of her track record? Yeah,
come on now, And that's and that's because you know what, Honestly,
I was really excited when they got back together. I

(16:34):
know you were. I was not. Yeah, I was excited
when they got back together, and then it like happened again.
And I'm sure Ben is part of the problem, but
I just feel like her track record and his, I
guess isn't that great either, because you know, he's been
in a few relationships, but like her track record is
just it's glaring, you know wow. And then I don't know,

(16:55):
I kind of believe this stuff about how rude she
may be. I've heard it, because you know what, I believe.
I've heard it from people who are closer to the
source as well, like people who like really know, so
it's not just something that I read online. I believe
I've heard other people who may have really been around

(17:17):
her or no, people who have really been around her
or worked for her kind of. But the first husband was, like,
she cheated on me, Right, she's a narcissist. Yeah, Like
she doesn't, but she doesn't give them a long enough
time to figure out how to love her, how she
wants to be loved, you know, whatever that might mean.

(17:40):
And sometimes they might not navigate it.

Speaker 1 (17:42):
Like if you said one doesn't know how to love me,
I would understand that even though I've been together forever,
because a you grow, you change, you have different needs,
and again he might not have the capacity to give
you what you need.

Speaker 2 (17:56):
Yeah, but anyway, that's her story. We're sticking to it.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
That's our mailbox, all right, Okay bye By

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.
