Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's Mojo in the morning.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
Uh Lydia wants to start off talking about the pot
luck that we had in the office yesterday, our Thanksgiving
pot luck, which I'm surprised that she's the one talking
about it because I didn't even see her at the
pot luck.

Speaker 1 (00:14):
Did you go home early yesterday or what was the story, Lidia?

Speaker 3 (00:17):
Now, I just ate inside of my studio and said, why, well,
it was so fun.

Speaker 1 (00:21):
It was actually really fun.

Speaker 4 (00:22):
Because yesterday when we had our pot luck, I thought
it was a thing where you could not eat if
you didn't participate by bringing something, and I forgot and
didn't bring anything. So instead I just sat in my
studio and ate my lunch that had wait.

Speaker 1 (00:36):
So you didn't even eat any of the food from
the well.

Speaker 4 (00:38):
I did eat a couple of cookies because I had
Anna going some and bring me some cookies studio, and.

Speaker 1 (00:45):
So you had Anna steal cookies off, which I didn't
know I was doing the dessert table the desert. We
had a whole room for dessert.

Speaker 3 (00:53):
She just said, hey, can you grab me a cookie?
I'm like, of course, now I find out I'm stealing.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
Well, wait, so.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
You you had this belief and It's funny because of
Josh Innis next door from one oh six seven. He
said the same thing to me when I said, hey, Josh,
grab a plate and sit down, and he goes, no,
I didn't bring anything, so I can't eat. What you
think that if you don't bring food you can't eat?
Is that you thought that? Is that a rule? Do
they have that as a rule?

Speaker 4 (01:16):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:17):
They did so.

Speaker 4 (01:17):
On the sign up sheet it basically said if you
are participating, here's the list to bring something, which made
me think, if this is a sign up sheet and
I'm not signing my name onto this, then I cannot
participate per the rules.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
But he didn't say that you couldn't eat. No, but
if you're participating, could have been just if you're going
to bring something. I was Kevin was he didn't bring
anything and he was eating like a mania.

Speaker 5 (01:38):
No shame in my game. I'm pulling up. You supposed
to be a family, right.

Speaker 6 (01:44):
Wait, But I have to tell a story about keV.
Because keV sat right across from me Andana. You were
sitting right next to me and Mot of the four
of us were sitting right there.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
keV has a.

Speaker 3 (01:52):
Plate, you had fruit on there.

Speaker 6 (01:53):
You had like a whole bunch of stuff, and you
were like every and I said, oh, my gosh, you're eating.
I thought you didn't eat at Potlux. And you said
to me, well, this is all store bought. And you
had a piece of salmon on your plate. And then
someone said, oh, the salmon is homemade.

Speaker 3 (02:07):
Yeah, so your face.

Speaker 5 (02:09):
I did not expect that to be the reality when
I came, because I told you I don't even have Pollux.
So I left Whork, came back and wanted to enjoy
the experience of everybody and the thanks given chair. So
I went into the room and I saw fruit, and
I'm like, all right, bet let me just grab a
couple of grapes, you know what I'm saying, some pineapples,
just to look like I'm doing something.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
Then I saw a cookie, grabbed a cookie.

Speaker 5 (02:27):
Then Mojo came in and I saw this file a
laid out looking like it came straight from Sam's Club.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
It did not look.

Speaker 5 (02:34):
Like what do you mean a full you know what
I'm saying, Like the salmon I saw that it was
it looked to me, Wait, Lydia was not a fan
of that. Lydia, what did you think of that?

Speaker 2 (02:47):
Also?

Speaker 4 (02:48):
I saw guys like putting their forks in it, like
Brandon the building manager just kept putting his fork in it. No,
you're lying, I'm telling you. You could see fork marks
in the side.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
Saying so Lydia explained this. Explain the the what he
calls it. Explained that it was a fish.

Speaker 4 (03:03):
It was a long fish. It was a salmon laid
out on a silver platter with fake garnish around it.
No ice, it looked like it, you know, had just
been sitting there for a couple hours. And then I say,
branded the building manager sticking his fork into it, scraping it,
and you could just see that.

Speaker 1 (03:19):
Somebody explain this to me.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
Explain a potluck that has literally a fish sitting right
on the table, Like, I mean, I thought it was perfect,
you like, of all things that you're not I'm not
eating anything here.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
It's going to give me a stomach ache. I ate fish.

Speaker 5 (03:34):
It looked like it looked like it came with a receipt, Like.

Speaker 3 (03:39):
Why would you want to eat that?

Speaker 1 (03:41):
I'm I thought it was catered.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
Cav of anything that you could eat at that pot luck.
You could eat so much stuff that would not give
you any kind of bubble guts or food poisoning. You
ate a fish. Literally, the fish eyes were looking at you.
I'm a fish guy, bro. I like salmon.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
I'm telling you.

Speaker 5 (04:04):
Am I wrong in not in assuming that it didn't
look like it was prepared.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
And somebody fell when someone said that.

Speaker 5 (04:13):
Everything I got either was store bought, like wherever you
got the green beans and all that, And then I
dealt with the fruit.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
I didn't do anything that came from somebody's little pot
and pant. And so when Carrie was like, oh my god,
how do you enjoy the salmon, I'm like, the salmon
is good.

Speaker 5 (04:26):
She's like, Kim's husband made it.

Speaker 3 (04:30):
I stopped chowing.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
I said he caught it at in bell I.

Speaker 3 (04:38):
You know what I was the most surprised about is
that you did not touch the mac and cheese. For
as much as this man has talked a.

Speaker 1 (04:45):
I didn't like the way you look.

Speaker 3 (04:46):
I'm not gonna lie.

Speaker 6 (04:47):
Was the best white people made that mac jewish that
was from Steve's delly.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
It looked liquidy, Kevin.

Speaker 3 (04:57):
The desserts were also store bought, so why don't you eat?

Speaker 1 (05:00):
I had the cookies, I had Anna's muffins.

Speaker 3 (05:03):
No one else did wish I didn't buy the homes.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
That's what I had.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
Biscuis so I want to go back to the whole thing.
Because of Lydia hiding in her her studio. If those
don't know, we have like separate studios. We're in a
big studio. You might have seen pictures of us taken in.
Lydia's got her own. It's like four or five studios
away from us, but it's halfway to the potluck. She
stayed inside there eating her own lunch. Here's what you

(05:31):
could have done, Lydia, whatever your lunch was, you could
have brought your lunch out there as your participation, and
then you could have had every everybody. What was your
lunch yesterday that you brought from home?

Speaker 3 (05:41):
It was rice with sauce that my mom made the
night before.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
You could have had rice with Nobody would have eaten it.

Speaker 3 (05:47):
You should have come out.

Speaker 6 (05:47):
The refrigerator in the kitchen is so packed with leftovers
from that potluck right now.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
They would have loved it to have you come out.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
Yeah, this girl, by the way, has got to have
a steel stomach.

Speaker 1 (05:59):
I don't know, got it.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
She's something she might eat those she went to she
went to Michigan State, so she's up in East Lands
and probably eating all kinds.

Speaker 7 (06:08):
Everything off the streets. But I fasted yesterday, so I
couldn't eat anything in the pot. Look, I'm crazy, so
I didn't. So I just I sat in the studio
and I just.

Speaker 3 (06:18):
Hid in there because I couldn't see the food.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
What was the whole point of a fast yesterday compared
to a fast today?

Speaker 7 (06:23):
Because I'm doing a seventy two hour fast and it
ends today at like six.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
So wait, so oh so your fast ends today?

Speaker 7 (06:28):
Okay, Now, I guess that's why I'm so excited. I'm
gonna take all the food home and eat it today.

Speaker 1 (06:33):
You look hungry too. I brought I brought a plate
in the studio. You can just see her.

Speaker 6 (06:39):
Can I tell you why I'm so disappointed? I brought
three bottles of wine. Yeah, I had a glass. I
was the only one that had.

Speaker 3 (06:48):
Wine, was drinking wine today.

Speaker 6 (06:50):
So she was drinking wine this morning at five am.
I was the only one at that pop look that
had a glass of wine.

Speaker 2 (06:59):
It didn't seem like a rinking kind of affair. I
don't be I know, I know. And then but I
here's my problem. I live an hour from the radio station.
You do want not want me having a drink doing
this thing. I actually thought that it was a good gathering.
I thought it was really enjoyable. But it is interesting
to watch your coworkers in how they eat and stuff.
And I will say this now, I know I brand

(07:20):
in the building managers in the bathroom all the time.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
That's some bitch.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
He literally had like three plates of stuff for a
little guy, and he puts everything in his body like
he eats. He'll eat the from the It's great. Seriously,
it's craziness. And uh and he just you know, and
then the whole time he's like sitting there, he's like, yeah,
you know, I don't understand. Sometimes when my stomach hurts me,
I'm like, I understand. I'm looking at it right now.

(07:46):
My friend Jim, what's up. What's going on, buddy?

Speaker 8 (07:53):
Not much.

Speaker 2 (07:55):
We're doing fantastic. You wanted to comment on Lydia.

Speaker 8 (07:58):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, he was the one that put it together, right.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
Well, No, this one is the different one.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
The one that she put together is what we're doing
giving thanks to our listeners next week. This one was
put together by Nick, who is the administrative assistant for Colleen,
our big boss.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
Gotcha. Well, I just feel like Lydia does so much problem.

Speaker 2 (08:20):
I feel like, let me tell you something, Lydia could
get away with anything. Seriously, she works her butt off here.
But that was why it was so surprising that she
was hiding in her studio and not wanting to actually
eat any stuff. I know, Yeah, it was crazy. I
will say this that there were some people that I'm

(08:41):
looking at him, going, I know those people didn't bring anything.
I know that there were some people that you know,
and I'm going, why is Lydia hiding?

Speaker 1 (08:49):
What's going on? Mary?

Speaker 8 (08:52):
Hey, how are you guys?

Speaker 1 (08:53):
Good morning? Good morning.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
We had our office pot luck yesterday. Do you guys
do this in your office?

Speaker 8 (08:59):
We do so. I work at the hospital and we
so all the units in the hospital, a lot of
them anyways, participate in potlucks around the holiday times. And
one of my good friends who worked for security at
the time, he is so funny. He he was friends
with all the nurses, you know, and so when everyone
was having a potluck, usually on the same day, he'd
go around to everybody's pot luck and eat something from

(09:22):
like everyone's pollock he'd get a plate from every unit.

Speaker 2 (09:25):
The security guard gets away with everything, Mary, nurse Nurse Mary.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
Has true our security? Who was watching the front door?
Who's Mary?

Speaker 2 (09:37):
Who does security in the hospital? When that guy's eating
at everybody's pod luck?

Speaker 8 (09:41):
Oh well, you know, they just call it and then
he's got to, you know, ditch his plate. But it's
okay because there's more plates to go around. Just hits
the next unit, you know, where he's at, and gets
another plate and keeps going.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
Mary, do you guys ever worry about food poisoning at
the hospital?

Speaker 1 (09:56):
Potlucks? Like, does that ever happen?

Speaker 8 (10:00):
Yeah? But you know, we're all starving half to death
most of the time. So we when people bring food
or snacks or a lot of nurses like go bring
their kids left over Halloween candy. We it'll be gone
in twenty minutes. I mean by the end of the day,
it's all gone. I mean we are like feral animals.

(10:21):
You put food in that great room and tell everybody,
and it is gone.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
I don't know if you listened to the show back
when COVID was going around, but during COVID, we used
to get restaurants to donate food to hospitals and we
every day we'd go to a different hospital bringing restaurant
food and the nurses and doctors loved it. Because you
guys had so many long hours of doing it, we
should still do that. It would be kind of a cool. Yeah, yeah, great, Yeah,

(10:46):
we call that we feed the family.

Speaker 8 (10:49):
Yeah, we do do. Like families like, you know, when
their kids are there for a little while, or they
just feel like bringing food. Occasionally families will bring cookies
or something like that, and it's always so much appreciate it,
you know. But yo, yeah, we love food because we're
always usually pretty hungry and we don't It would great.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
But the funny thing is Josh guy next door. I
was telling you about Josh eats any food that's brought
to the radio station, literally five or six helpings of it. Yesterday,
he wouldn't eat any of it because he was so
worried to getting called out for not bringing anything. And
I'm like, Josh, I have seen you go get at
least three or four plates of the food that's brought

(11:26):
in on a regular basis here. And he's like, why
do you got a food Shame me, you know, And
I'm like, I'm not food shaming you. I'm telling you
go Eatjo what's up?

Speaker 1 (11:35):
Justin? Hey, good morning, everybody? Good Morning's up?

Speaker 7 (11:40):
So it's to kel Dean and Lydia.

Speaker 1 (11:44):
That's why she didn't eat. What do you mean?

Speaker 3 (11:45):
What do you mean?

Speaker 8 (11:47):
It's just like kel Dean's like if you don't bring nothing,
you feel like not embarrassed, but like that like, oh
I shouldn't because I didn't bring anything.

Speaker 4 (11:57):
That's exactly how I thought it, really, Yeah, because I
didn't participate like I had said, I didn't bring anything,
so I thought maybe it's rude to eat someone else's
food and I don't have anything for them to eat.

Speaker 2 (12:07):
I can understand that. Yeah, you feel like you have
to bring something.

Speaker 3 (12:11):
Kevin, bring anything.

Speaker 1 (12:12):
No, I brought myself and I brought the prayer.

Speaker 2 (12:17):
That is the Kevin and everybody that was actually really nice.
You came in and were like you gotta say grace,
bro although I always feel the bad. I've gone to
like funerals before, and you know how they have a
luncheon right afterwards, and I'm just eating away and then
all of a sudden, the priest comes in and goes,
we're gonna say a prayer right here, comes Kevin, the
priest of the station,

Stuff You Should Know
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.
