Speaker 5 (00:51):
My grandma's church though, So this church is there's a
lot of old people at this church. Oh really, And
the lady I don't know what you call the litterages.
I think that's what her title is on the program
because they still print out programs every Sunday. But in
the program there is a section for announcements and how
the church is set up. It's like two podiums up there,
like on for lack of a better term, it's like
(01:12):
the altars in the back, so not the altar, but
it's like a stage before the altar, so the liturgists
on one side, the pastor on the other side, and
the liturgiest. You can just tell by how she given
announcements that her energy off like she kind of just
kind of going through the motions, it seemed like. And
it gets to a point in her announcements where she
starts to announce an event that's coming up, and the
(01:33):
event is like mental health awareness, and she says everything,
like she mentions the date, the special guess what it's for,
where it's going to be at the time, she mentions everything,
and the moment she gets done and starts to move
on to like all right, that's the conclusion type of thing.
The pastor like, well, wait a second, wait a second,
did you announce the mental health conference that we haven't.
(01:57):
She was like, yeah, were you not paying attention? This
is in front of the whole comgation. My cousin turned around,
she and a few in front.
Speaker 2 (02:05):

but she was like, I know he asked that she
could do it again. He's like, we cut it again
if need be for your particular ears.

She's talking back to the pastor on the mic. She
must be she must be like one of the elder
elder ladies in that church. She got she oh he oh.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
I think they both single, just like you know, going
beyond the pulpy. Maybe there's a romantic thing going on between.
I don't know what's going on, but he's just really
you know.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
The funny thing is when something like that does happen,
it makes you more go. I know exactly paying attention
for sure, I know every information and all information I
was an altar server as a as a young kid.
Believe it or not, I actually was an altar boy
through grade school. And I will never forget the Mass.
And I don't know if I've ever told the story
on the air, but the Mass that I was serving,
(03:10):
and Father rich Homa was the priest and it was me,
Tom Barrett, say rich Homah Homah. I know we all
his kids giggled when we heard his name, Father rich Holmah,
and it was me, Tom Barrett. And I think it
might have been John Sullivan that did it, because I
only remember is like I was the tall kid that
always carried the cross, and then they were the kids
(03:30):
that were the two that carried the candles. So we're
in mass and father called he waves me. I'm like
the lead guy and he waves me and he goes hey.
He goes go up to the choir director and tell
the choir director that after communion, just do some songs.
Just start playing some songs. And I'm like, is everything okay?
And he goes, I gotta go to the bathroom. He
(03:52):
had to go to the bathroom so bad. And this
is as the Eucharist is over with and he's cleaning
up everything and stuff. So I go up there, I
tell him they were playing in the songs. This is
I'm not I'm not saying a lie at all. Okay,
this is and I wouldn't lie about God. He leaves
his microphone on, going all mind to the bathroom, and
(04:13):
you could hear the entire bathroom incident taking place.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Let's put it this way. There were some there was
some beef.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Be there and and they're playing the music and they're
like trying to make it louder, but the mice going louder.
It was honestly one of those things where somebody caught that. Nowadays,
like if that was on TikTok, you would have you
would have like twenty eight billion you know in there
impressions on it. So so moments like this that happened
(04:42):
in church are one of those moments that makes.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
You go, thank you Jesus. You know, you know guy

Have you ever been at a church and saw something
kind of a wild like that a fight take place
between you know, two people, or you know, anything that

was out of the ordinary. Lydia you have had to
see this. You go to Mass or some kind of
a church thing at least three times a week.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
I've never seen like Calvie and people don't fight at church.
I mean in the parking lot, you'll see it, like
you'll see people hit each other's cars, cuss each other
out because someone parked on the grass and someone else
wanted a closer parking spot.

this church. But then I have had it where it's
a never ending stream of cars leaving there and if
you don't catch the right time driving down Maple Road,
you are there for it seems like the longest train
you've ever been in.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
A belus.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Some people will leave before the final blessed saying, which
is the most important part, because they want to make
it out of the parking lot.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Wait, they don't get called out for that.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Oh, the priests, some of them will. They'll stop them
at the door.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
My old church, my old Paris that that I went to,
which was our Lady of Refuge back in the day,
our Lady of Refuge, the priest would call it out.
There was like this Irish priest that used to call
out the people that would get up and leave right
after communion. What's up, Stephanie, how you doing?

Burmese people, right, and I'm a six foot tall black woman. Okay.

Korean grandmas were physically fighting. You know, when you get
two grandma in the kitchen that's Korean, it usually kind

Our principal and the priest we're going back and forth
in our heads. We're going back and forth to parents,
watching them say things to each other that we knew
something was going on. I don't think the children did.

the church that I had formerly went to, the priest
was doing a funeral and the family almost thought the
priest mid service because he went way off script. It
ended up becoming like a whole big mass where the
(10:08):
congregation basically turned on the priest and no one would
go until he was gone.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
It was a mass, so you know what, that makes
it fun. That's like one of those things you want
something like that happening right at a funeral. It's like,
here's a death, let's have some fun, come on, let's
I've seen fights at funerals before. Usually it's at the wakes,
though it never gets to the actual funeral mass or
anything like that.

Speaker 7 (10:35):
That was the second time during that particular funeral that
there was almost a fight. Like there was a person
that showed up that they did not want there. He
had to be escorted out, and then the dad of
the kid who had passed away had to be carried
out so he didn't kill the priest probably jeez.

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.
