window is up. And.
But I always say, but don't watch your head.
Watch your head as you come. No, there are certain people
don't need to watch their head, no.
No, I always say it just, you know, for illegal, you know.
Well, Mick has to watch his head.
He was told that on his way ontothe aeroplane the other day.
Yeah, 'cause we went up to Darwin for a wedding.

married and it was a proper Territory wedding.
Oh, my gosh. So 3° here.
Yeah. It was 32° in Darwin.
(03:54):
Wow. Covered in mosquito bice.
It's like I've just gone full summer mode for one weekend.

And their wedding was outdoors. It was in the Botanic Gardens
under this huge tree. And then we moved to the
reception to the beach front where the sunsets over the beach

head on the way back on the plane because they said to him,
watch your head. So much to be thankful for.
Anyway, that's the end of the segment.
(05:02):
If this were radio, sorry, we wouldn't have talked.
We've got off the radio, you'd be beating about the head with a
bit of paper. Say shut up, there are other
people. I'd be just glancing at you and
then glancing at the phone linesgoing.
There's five people sitting there.
Supposed to be answering those wait.
Waiting to do some some messages.
Oh my God, I took the funniest photo this morning.
(05:23):
All right, I'll go with that. My thankful Thursday this
morning is I thought of a funny photo that I could do, but I
needed someone to take it for me.
OK, my 19 year old was in the house, but you know, in his
cave. What Who's your 19 year old
with? What do you mean you mean?
Jordan's 19. He turns 20 at the end of this
year. Get stuck.
He said that at the dinner tablelast night and we all just like,
(05:46):
had to take a moment. Jordan turns 20I.
Would have taken a moment like taking myself off into the room
and just cried into a pillow fora little while.
That's ridiculous, isn't that? Crazy.
Ravi's got an older son from obviously some clandestine
relationship. Alejandro, we don't talk about
him much, but every now and then.
(06:06):
Bruno we. Don't talk, We don't talk about
Alejandro is my version of that.I've still never seen that
movie. Oh, it's.
Beautiful Kanto, Yeah. Yeah, it's.
Beautiful. But I know the whole we don't
talk about Bruno so I never do. Just just in case I read a.
Funny thing where this teacher so you're you know, you're Sansa
teacher so she might identify with this.
Some kid came to school and theysaid something about what
(06:29):
happened on the weekend or something.
And this little kid, little kindy kid just said we don't
talk about Bruno. And the teacher took it to the
principal and said there's something going on in.
This House. The whole staffer thought it
hilarious. The Princess.
Now pause. Sorry, I'm gonna.
Check something because we having tech issues.
(06:49):
I hadn't record on that, Yeah. Yeah, and we're back.
I just glanced across, so we just had to pause there because
I looked across at my Rd. Caster Pro 2 and yeah, the red
light that says we're recording was not on so luckily.
Because I would think a green light would mean you're
recording free. I get confused by it all the
(07:11):
time. Yeah.
So I look across at that now andit is recording, but the light
is red, Yes. So to me that looks like all
right and now hit record. It's like but.
I've already hit record, that's why it's red.
It's like the airline things where it's like, are you
carrying any of this stuff? And no, I'm not.
It's green, is it? Yes, I am.
That's how they get, Yeah. It's like that's how they get,
(07:32):
yeah. Green for go, I suppose, but the
opposite. I know, I know.
Oh. My brain.
But I am thankful that my so thethe camera that's recording,
which is also hooked up with themicrophones, which usually
fails, and then I have to go to the backup of the road caster.
No, the road caster wasn't going, but the camera was.
(07:56):
Oh, thank goodness for redundancies.
God van what redundancies? I don't know.
Is that not the? I don't know.
No, that's not the word, is it? Maybe.
Now what's it called? I've got a, I've got a.
Thank goodness for backups. Redundancies is not the right
word. That applies to you and I.
(08:16):
That's no, it's just straight. Up pretty redundant.
Dropped also this morning. Yeah, I had to go down and and
knock on his door and he's generally an early riser.
I thought he'd be on his Xbox orsomething.
No, he's still a teenager for the moment.
Uh huh. And and I went into his room and
he was all curled up in his blankets and he was.
(08:36):
So what are you? What?
What life? Leave me alone.
Just those noises to start the day.
Yeah. Tiana used to do this thing.
She did it for years, and she doesn't do it anymore.

I'm still wearing them. You know, I'll kick my shoes
off. And oh, here we go.
I'll take. It to wearing my.
What is with those? These are my work boots.
They have had a hard life. Yeah, steel cap they've got.
Here because there's a giant hole in the.
Toe, yeah, but the steel's stillintact.
Rusty, Rusty. I've got I've got rusty boots,
(09:46):

That's true. I believe you're in a glass
house and you are chucking aboutsome stones right now.

the bottom of them? And then so I then had to and
it's perfect because every time I sit down on the couch, what
happens every time I sit down onthe couch?
You fart. No, Julie, would you like to try
(10:31):
again? You turn the telly on God.
I barely even get that far. I know, I know, there it is.
You put a cushion on your lap. It's called a cuddle pillow, and
we're back in episode 2. It's a cuddle pillow.
You notice I got rid of that after that after you publicly
(10:54):
shamed me for cuddling a pillow.That's just my comfort pillow.
But sure, if you want me to be uncomfortable, that's fine.
Cut. You're still not there yet.
Open a box of fruit trucks. Sake.
I don't know what else. What else do you do on the
couch? It's not what I do on the couch.
I just sit on the couch. What happens within half a
(11:15):
second? Couch breaks.
Good feedback. It's nothing worse than when you
sit on a chair and it breaks. I know, Wouldn't that happen to
you? Yeah, all the time.
I was once named the most destructive arse in the IT
industry. Every chair I sat on ended up on
the rubbish sheet. It's.
(11:39):
Funny that you specify that it'sin the IT industry that.
Was the industry I was working in it?
The time, yeah, If you've been in any other industry, you you
also would have been the most destructive arse in that
industry. Gorgeous side the world, right
it. Seems like something a porn star
would have on there. That was amazing.
(11:59):
Well I don't know how it works when you are OK.
Let's just leave that alone. God, you're so frustrating
sometimes. Frustrating.

phone. Well, I can't because you go it
actually. Can somebody bring me my phone?
I left it the kitchen. Why would I say that?
Because you've left your phone in the kitchen.
Why wouldn't I just get up and go and get it myself?
Because you're too lazy. Everyone else has figured this
out by now. Every everyone except you.
(12:43):
It's literally written on the bottom of my socks.
Well, I can't see the bottom of your socks.
I'm not going to show you you'regoing to figure it out for
yourself. Dude's just a dude that works.
For a foot mass. The dude in the car yard has
just got walking past. He thinks there's like a full
argument happening in here. Well, all right.

head on the way back on the plane because they said to him,
watch your head. So much to be thankful for.
Anyway, that's the end of the segment.
(05:02):
If this were radio, sorry, we wouldn't have talked.
We've got off the radio, you'd be beating about the head with a
bit of paper. Say shut up, there are other
people. I'd be just glancing at you and
then glancing at the phone linesgoing.
There's five people sitting there.
Supposed to be answering those wait.
Waiting to do some some messages.
Oh my God, I took the funniest photo this morning.
(05:23):
All right, I'll go with that. My thankful Thursday this
morning is I thought of a funny photo that I could do, but I
needed someone to take it for me.
OK, my 19 year old was in the house, but you know, in his
cave. What Who's your 19 year old
with? What do you mean you mean?
Jordan's 19. He turns 20 at the end of this
year. Get stuck.
He said that at the dinner tablelast night and we all just like,
(05:46):
had to take a moment. Jordan turns 20I.
Would have taken a moment like taking myself off into the room
and just cried into a pillow fora little while.
That's ridiculous, isn't that? Crazy.
Ravi's got an older son from obviously some clandestine
relationship. Alejandro, we don't talk about
him much, but every now and then.
(06:06):
Bruno we. Don't talk, We don't talk about
Alejandro is my version of that.I've still never seen that
movie. Oh, it's.
Beautiful Kanto, Yeah. Yeah, it's.
Beautiful. But I know the whole we don't
talk about Bruno so I never do. Just just in case I read a.
Funny thing where this teacher so you're you know, you're Sansa
teacher so she might identify with this.
Some kid came to school and theysaid something about what
(06:29):
happened on the weekend or something.
And this little kid, little kindy kid just said we don't
talk about Bruno. And the teacher took it to the
principal and said there's something going on in.
This House. The whole staffer thought it
hilarious. The Princess.
Now pause. Sorry, I'm gonna.
Check something because we having tech issues.
(06:49):
I hadn't record on that, Yeah. Yeah, and we're back.
I just glanced across, so we just had to pause there because
I looked across at my Rd. Caster Pro 2 and yeah, the red
light that says we're recording was not on so luckily.
Because I would think a green light would mean you're
recording free. I get confused by it all the
(07:11):
time. Yeah.
So I look across at that now andit is recording, but the light
is red, Yes. So to me that looks like all
right and now hit record. It's like but.
I've already hit record, that's why it's red.
It's like the airline things where it's like, are you
carrying any of this stuff? And no, I'm not.
It's green, is it? Yes, I am.
That's how they get, Yeah. It's like that's how they get,
(07:32):
yeah. Green for go, I suppose, but the
opposite. I know, I know.
Oh. My brain.
But I am thankful that my so thethe camera that's recording,
which is also hooked up with themicrophones, which usually
fails, and then I have to go to the backup of the road caster.
No, the road caster wasn't going, but the camera was.
(07:56):
Oh, thank goodness for redundancies.
God van what redundancies? I don't know.
Is that not the? I don't know.
No, that's not the word, is it? Maybe.
Now what's it called? I've got a, I've got a.
Thank goodness for backups. Redundancies is not the right
word. That applies to you and I.
(08:16):
That's no, it's just straight. Up pretty redundant.

knock on his door and he's generally an early riser.
I thought he'd be on his Xbox orsomething.

Uh huh. And and I went into his room and
he was all curled up in his blankets and he was.
(08:36):
So what are you? What?

But sure, if you want me to be uncomfortable, that's fine.
Cut. You're still not there yet.
Open a box of fruit trucks. Sake.
I don't know what else. What else do you do on the
couch? It's not what I do on the couch.
I just sit on the couch. What happens within half a
(11:15):
second? Couch breaks.
Good feedback. It's nothing worse than when you
sit on a chair and it breaks. I know, Wouldn't that happen to
you? Yeah, all the time.
I was once named the most destructive arse in the IT
industry. Every chair I sat on ended up on
the rubbish sheet. It's.

Funny that you specify that it'sin the IT industry that.
Was the industry I was working in it?
The time, yeah, If you've been in any other industry, you you
also would have been the most destructive arse in that
industry. Gorgeous side the world, right

out by now. Every everyone except you.

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.
