Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we are guys, last break of the day on
this Monday, A good start for the week. We had
a fun day today. Thank you guys for listening.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
We appreciate you. Had a question for Steve. Oh yeah, let.

Speaker 1 (00:13):
Me just talk to you, man about how much I
admire you. I admire your effort at everything that you do.
I mean, you got the career, you got everything. Why
are you still striving this hard at your age? I
know people your age is not doing what you're doing.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
I don't well, first of all, I appreciate that, Junior.
I don't really know another way to be. I was
thinking about this the other day. I just don't know.
I was talking to my wife the other day. She said,
you know what it is about you, Steve. You just
don't know how to go nowhere and sit down. I

(00:52):
just don't, man, I really really don't. I don't know
what I would do if I wasn't striving. I really
really don't know what I would do if I wasn't
striving and trying to accomplish. Because I have made that
such a way of life. It's habit for me, and

(01:17):
it's just a habit. I would recommend the habit to
people if you want to accomplish some things, whatever that is,
it's not to be me. That's not what I'm saying.
It's to accomplish whatever it is you want to do
at one point in time. I'm telling you right now,

(01:39):
in order to get to where you want to be,
you're gonna have to be relentless. You're going to have
to be relentless. You're going to have to be dogmatic.
You're going to have to be unstoppable, and you have
to be unbeatable. I know people who have set out

(02:02):
to defeat me. I know them. I know them personally.
I know people who have who have put together schemes
to defeat me. I know people who I've never had
a real conversation with go online and openly say they

(02:23):
gonna destroy me. I had a guy one night told
me and saying I'm going to destroy your whole comedy career.
He told it to me. I just looked at him.
But you know what he didn't understand. I'm unbeatable. You

(02:44):
cannot beat me because of two reasons. Number one, I
have God on my side and number two, I ain't
gonna quit. So now what you finna do? What you
finna do? To me, how you gonna beat me? When

(03:05):
number one, I have God on my side. God is
with me. If God is with you, who can be
against you? Now? You can say you against me if
you want to. But I must forewarn you when you
come over here to get me, I ain't by myself now.
I'm just gonna give you that warning. You come over
here to get me, I ain't by myself now, as

(03:29):
long as I keep that theory in mind. Now, every
now and then i'm human, I get out there, and
I get in the way of the God in me.
I will I take some matters into my own hands.
Sometimes I've done that before. It didn't really work out right.
But I've done that. But you can't beat me. My

(03:52):
head is blooded but unbowed. I will never ever quit.
Do you understand me? My head is bloodied, unbowed man
out of the night that covers me, black as the
pit from pole to pole. I thank whatever God may

(04:13):
be for my unconquerable soul. In the fail clutch of circumstance.
I have not winced nor cried aloud under the bludgeonings
of chance. My head is bloodied beyond but unbowed, beyond
this place of raft in tears looms, but the horror
of the shade. And yet the menace of the years

(04:36):
finds and shall find me unafraid. It matters not how
straight the gate, how charged with punishment the scroll. I
am the captain of my faith. I am the master
of my soul. I am the master of my faith.
I am the captain of my soul. Invictis, Lord, have mercy.

(05:03):
I can't tell you how many times that poem that
kept me, and that ain't even a scripture, but if
you understand, it got a lot of God in it. Yeah, Man,
I don't brouh. I don't know how to be no
other way. I just don't, Junior. I don't know what
I would do if I wasn't striving. I'm just cut

(05:28):
like that, and I thank God. But it's a practice.
You have to practice being this way. You're not born
this way. It's a choice you have to make. You know,
you're not born to be relentless. You are born to
make choices. Everybody gets to decide. Everybody you can decide

(05:53):
I'm gonna be a positive person, I'm be a negative person.
You can change your mind in the middle of your
life and go the other way. I know some people
man that used to be such positive people, and now
every time you hear them something negative coming out their mouth.
That's a decision they made. I make the decision to
be positive. I choose to be relentless. I choose to

(06:17):
be in pursuit of my vision and dream, and I
choose to keep God at the forefront of my life
because without God I would be nothing. And that is

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.
