This episode dives into a chaotic mix of topics, kicking off with an absurd discussion about government spending on transgender mice before spiraling into an existential rant about sleep routines. The struggle of putting in a mouthguard, earplugs, and taking melatonin like a nightly pre-flight checklist is real, and the resentment toward winter laziness is reaching peak levels.
Travel plans are a big theme, with talk of Amsterdam and Ireland outfit planning. The dilemma of picking the right aesthetic—whether it's brat summer green or something grungy for Amsterdam—sparks debate. There’s also a revelation about the Netherlands and Dutch culture that, frankly, still doesn’t make sense.
Political chaos enters the mix with a breakdown of recent headlines, including a theory that there’s a reason certain politicians act the way they do (cough Putin’s leverage cough). A wild detour into the topic of the Epstein flight logs and why certain names keep appearing leads to some theories that are both hilarious and deeply disturbing.
There’s a rant about how Americans are perceived in Europe, with complaints about restaurant etiquette, slow service, and the European aversion to smiling. Apparently, asking for the check too soon is considered rude, but no one wants to acknowledge that sitting in a restaurant for three hours might not be for everyone. The general feeling is that some of these cultural differences are fair, but some are just unnecessary.
A spicy travel story unfolds involving a random European encounter that may or may not have been flirting. The confusion of reading signals abroad is real, but the experience of being semi-hard in a Barcelona cooking class is apparently universal. There's also an official manifestation of meeting hot Irish rugby brothers, because why not dream big?
Discussions about American history take a dark turn, with some brutal truths about how things really went down. The way Thanksgiving is framed in schools doesn’t quite hold up, and there’s a moment of horror at realizing how bad things actually were. The idea that early settlers ate each other when times got tough is casually thrown in, as well as the absurdity of how tobacco basically built an empire.
The episode ends with more travel struggles, including an encounter with a less-than-friendly European shopkeeper who was not amused by a lost tourist wandering in with Google Maps open. The realization that Europeans aren’t necessarily rude, but just different, is setting in, even if some customs still make no sense.

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.
