welcome to the program. How are you. I'm doing okay?
How about you doing all right? Man? What's going on
with this this woman? Megan? We got to know how
you met, about any dates you've been on, and then

(00:42):
you know, why do you think you're being ghosted?

Speaker 2 (00:44):
Honestly, I really don't know.

Speaker 3 (00:46):
Man. You know, I've been listening for a long time
and I never thought i'd be I'd be, you know,
waiting on the phone until now right.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
Well, they never do, do they. I Mean, you never
think it's going to happen to you until it does.
But you go on this day with this woman who
I mean, how did you meet? Give me all the background?
How you mad about any dates you've been on? Like
I gotta know everything?

Speaker 3 (01:08):
Well, you know, we met on Riya.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
I went out.

Speaker 3 (01:12):
I took her to a Michelin restaurant. We had a
really nice dinner. We also had some very nice you
know cocktails. I mean, she seemed like she was enjoying everything.
She was enjoying herself. I thought she was very impressed.
And honestly, I have no idea why she's ghosting me.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
Now you're fancy, look at you, Raya. I can't even
get on Raya Michelin Star. And then and then I
can't get into a Michelin Star restaurant either, Like, no
part of this date could I be? Could I pull off?
But you, Charlie, you did, You did all of this,
and yet the date happened, and you've reached out since
the date, I assume, And she hasn't responded to you
in any way.

Speaker 3 (01:49):
Hasn't responded, just hasn't responded to any of my texts
and just completely ghosted me. And I mean I thought
we both had had a fabulous time.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
I mean, I mean, nobody owes you anything but a
Michelin restaurant. I mean that's a little spendy, you know,
like I would think, I don't know, I would think
that maybe she'd call you back, at least text you again,
give you another shot. I mean, people have done much
less and gotten much more. But all right, let's call
this woman, Meghan. We're gonna play song comeback. We'll call her,
you'll be on the phone. We'll ask these questions on
your behalf. Of the hope, as always, is that we

(02:20):
can straighten this out and set you guys up on
another day that we paid for. Sound good, Hey, Charlie,
I was called Meghan. You guys met on Riah, which
is a very fancy, very exclusive dating app, and you
went out. You took it to a fancy restaurant, a
Michelin starred restaurant, which is a big deal, and you
felt like the date was very successful and you put

(02:41):
your best foot forward. But you have not heard from
her since the date, and you want to know why.
All right, let's call her now, good luck. Hello, Hi
is just Meghan. Yes, Hi Megan, good morning. My name
is Fred. I'm calling from the Fred's Show, the Morning

(03:03):
radio show, and I have to tell you that we
are on the radio right now, and I would need
your permission to continue with the call. Can we chat
for a little bit on the show. You can hang
up anytime?

Speaker 4 (03:12):
Oh okay, yeah sure, Well.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
Thank you very much. We're calling on behalf of a
guy named Charlie who reached out to us says that
he met you on Riah and you guys went on
a date recently. Do you remember him?

Speaker 5 (03:22):
Yeah, yeah, we did meet on Riah and he took
me out on a nice, fancy date. It was like
two very expensive places that we went to, one for
cocktails and one for dinner. And I was expecting that
for him to take me to these very.

Speaker 4 (03:40):
Expensive places on the first date. But I did appreciate it,
and I was.

Speaker 5 (03:45):
Also surprised how he seemed to be pretty down to
earth for someone who clearly has money. But then when
we finished dinner, everything changed and took a very negative turn.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
Wow, by the way, thanks for doing my job for
me though, Like I didn't have to ask any questions. Okay,
she's like me, she's just an overshare. Yeah, no, I
like it, Like, thanks for sharing. So but what of
course I have to ask, like, what what was the
negative turn?

Speaker 5 (04:12):
Like?

Speaker 1 (04:13):
What happened.

Speaker 4 (04:14):
Okay, so after he paid the bill, which you know,
I appreciated him paying for us, but when we were
getting ready to leave and to end the date, he
he offered to pay me to go home with him.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
Wait, okay, uh, but this wasn't that kind of This
wasn't that kind of arrangement like this. This was a
romantic date, right, like where everyone was going on their
own will, like nobody was being compensated, right.

Speaker 5 (04:52):
Yeah, it was supposed to be just, you know, a
normal romantic date where.

Speaker 4 (04:57):
We would see if we were interested in and see
each other more in the future. But yeah, at the end,
it just got so.

Speaker 5 (05:07):
Weird when she literally offered to pay me one thousand
dollars with him.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
Oh girl, Oh that's the whole different kind of arrangement,
different website. Bro Let me let me bring Charlie in.
I'm very confused. I forgot to mention that Charlie is here.
I'm very forgetful. I'm sorry about that. Charlie. You left
out the part where you you tried to exchange money
for adult interaction when this was a platonic well not platonic,

(05:37):
but this was a willing romantic date. This wasn't that
kind of thing?

Speaker 4 (05:42):
Well, I mean I.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
Really didn't see anything wrong. I thought she would have
taken it as a compliment. Obviously, I'm very interested.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
But can't you be interested without paying her? Like can't
you like, don't you want to be interested without paying her?
Like don't you would't you rather that she, I don't know,
willingly agree to something like that, or maybe you just
go on another date or another date and see what
happens organically, Like I don't think you can't buy everything
and everybody.

Speaker 3 (06:07):
Well, you know, I wanted to secure the deal, like this.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
Is in a real estate transaction, Like, I what is this?
You do? You back cat all the time? Yeah? Like
that's clearly worked before. I mean right, it sounds like
this is what this is, Like this is what he does.
But there's a time and a place for that, Like
there's an actual thing. I mean, like you could there
are places where you can From what I understand, there

(06:33):
are places you can go and you just do that
kind of exchange. That's not the average person, what you understand.

Speaker 3 (06:40):
I know what I want.

Speaker 1 (06:41):
Yeah, but don't you want her to want you to
for something other than money? Like that would be my problem?
With this. I don't care. You do whatever you want,
Like if you want to go pay people for whatever,
that's fine me, Like I I would not. I wouldn't
like that kind of exchange, Like I want people to
believe it or not. I want people to actually be
there because they like me, not because I can buy
him so or give them money. But it's kind of offensive, dude,

(07:02):
Like it's not a compliment. It's like it's like she's
for sale, right, and she's not, and most people aren't.

Speaker 5 (07:08):
Well, I was extremely insulted, Charlie. I was really insulted
because I am not a hor so I don't appreciate
being treated like one.

Speaker 3 (07:19):
Well, I apologize for that. I mean, there no shapeway
or form was I trying to do that. I was
just simply trying to express how interested I was in you.

Speaker 1 (07:28):
But can you not express your interest without money? Like,
can't you say I like you. I'd like to see
you again and see what happened. I mean, this is crazy.
You could have maybe gotten there for free.

Speaker 3 (07:38):
Right, I mean I guess, but in my mind, it
was an incentive to secure the deal, like I said earlier,
and show her that I was serious and really interested.

Speaker 4 (07:52):
About her.

Speaker 1 (07:53):
I was willing to do that.

Speaker 3 (07:54):
I mean, I don't see anything wrong with it if
you were.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
Willing to pay her for adult intimate interaction. No, I
think I really feel like that's not I mean, it
sounds like you're trying to secure a property or a
contract or a business deal or something like and this
is a human being, and this is like most people
don't respond to that.

Speaker 3 (08:14):
That's not what I'm used to.

Speaker 2 (08:16):
So, I mean, I thought that we were getting along,
and I thought for her would have been a compliment, like, oh, really, like,
this guy's that interested in me. I didn't think it
was going to be offensive or that she would take
it as a just kind of my way of showing
my appreciation and how interested I was in Eric.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
But Charlie, what you're saying to Megan is here's money.
Obviously you'll do what I want if I give you money.
And I don't think that's a compliment. I see. I
mean you're trying to say, because you would spend money,
that she should somehow be complimented. But what you're saying
is that she can be bought, and most people don't
want to feel that way.

Speaker 3 (08:53):
I think most people say that.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
But they feel differently. Well, it sounds like in your experience,
maybe you should have taken the money Megan and been
like thanks and left. I mean, you know, I'll think
about it.

Speaker 5 (09:03):
I mean I did not want his money with that
kind of intention and energy coming from him. Like, I'm
not looking for a sugar daddy. So obviously, like I said,
I'm not a and I'm also not looking for a
sugar daddy. If you thought that this is what this was,
because you know, it's really not. That's not why I

(09:24):
was on the rya app. I'm actually looking for a
real serious relationship.

Speaker 1 (09:29):
Well that's what I'm not this kind of nonsense. You've
got those sugar daddy websites, you've got seeking a range,
and there are places you can go for this, dude,
like if you just want an exchange of things. But
it sounds like this works for you. How much times
have you done this a lot?

Speaker 5 (09:46):
Does the price change per woman or is it you know,
always a.

Speaker 3 (09:50):
G Well no, I just I guess it depends on
how interested I am in them.

Speaker 1 (09:54):
Oh boy, yeah, I don't know. I don't blame you.
This is I don't think most people. Again, again, there
are people who are down for this, and they're advertising
their services places and right now, right right, exactly, all right,
I'll ask the question because I have to. I know
the answer. But Megan, would you like to go out
with Charlie again? He'll pay you a thousand dollars?

Speaker 5 (10:15):
No, I am definitely not going to go out with
him again after he treated me like this and is
just acting like nothing happened, like it's not a big
deal that he offered to pay me for sex.

Speaker 4 (10:27):
It's super disrespectful.

Speaker 3 (10:29):
So no, I'll go to five.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
If you want five thousand, you'll go to five thousand
in this economic right, So we're not learning anything.

Speaker 4 (10:39):
God, do you like?

Speaker 1 (10:41):
God, I'm listening like I'm listening. I've done a lot
worse for less. That's what I mean. That's what I mean.
Oh wow, all right, you're not we have y'all. That's
nasty dignity in this room. Okay, okay, not right, y'all.
But for ten call me the wedding coming up, so

(11:01):
you know, if the price goes up a little bit,
yeah you want John Roy? Yes, all right, Look it's
not going to work out. Charlie, Meghan, thank you for
your time. Good luck to you. Charlie, best of luck
out there, Manne, thank you,

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.
