Speaker 1 (00:01):
Well, I know we are a couple of weeks removed
from Halloween, but it was very different this year for me,
especially because my kids did not go trick or treating
the first time ever, and you know, they're sixteen and thirteen.
They just didn't feel like doing it, and I was like, okay,
(00:22):
you know, I'm not going to force you to go
trigger treating. Obviously, my son, who's thirteen, he was really
on the fence, and I think if he would have
had an opportunity to go, he would have been fine
with going, but he never really worked it out with
any buddies or anything like that. We don't live in
a walkable neighborhood, so we got to go somewhere if
we're going to trigger treat, And there was no plans made,
(00:44):
nothing was arranged, nothing like that. He didn't push the issue,
didn't force the issue, so we didn't force the issue.
So it was like, all right, I guess we're not
doing trigger treating. Very different.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
No costumes were bought either.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
No no costumes. I mean there was at one point
when uh, you know, it was being talked about that
they did go down and kind of peek in the
costume bin to see if something, you know, caught their fancy. Yeah,
we have so many costumes from over the years, you know,
and stuff like that, but nothing, nothing came of it.
So no trigger dreading this year. And so the true
(01:18):
disappointment in that is that I didn't get any Halloween
candy this year. You did, well? Yeah. I take the
dad tax every year, which is basically half half.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
That's why have.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
You well, how to taxes works? Guy? Went you hit
the lottery? How many the how much did they take?
Speaker 3 (01:36):
It's practically half? Yeah, I mean, but I'm not the government.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
I've heard I'm better than the government.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
That's probably true.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
I've heard about your dad tax for many years, but
I guess I never considered the percentage. But fifty percent
is wild, Like in my mind, I would say, like
max ten percent was the dad tax crazy?
Speaker 3 (01:57):
You're taking like half, dude.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
I'm making all the ones that I want, which is
kit Kats, peanut and M and M Snickers.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Yeah, are you kids left with any of your kids?
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Of course, I don't take all of them. So if
they have four Snickers, I'm gonna take two, you know.
But that's just stuff from one and then and then
you know, like there's two kids, so I can, I
can delly it out, you know, and divvy it up,
and so it's not that bad. And there's stuff that
(02:32):
I don't want. I'm good. I don't need Skittles, I
don't need sour Patch kids. You don't like the gummy Yeah,
I'm good with that kind of stuff. So all yours, man,
idea took so much though, Well, I deserve it.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
You deserve it.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
All my hard work. I let them. I let them
live under my.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Roof hard work. Okay, got it.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
They live the lap of luxury. Man, are you kidding me?
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Hard work with their costumes and stuff? Because I know
that wouldn't have been ever been your department, that was
your wife.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Yeah, I don't know. I don't I'm not talking about
actual Halloween hard work. I'm talking about life man. I grind.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
I don't see them waking up at three thirty every day.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Wow, they can't they go to school? Sorry, they can't school.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Yeah, you're you're defending the children.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
I have the children's back. You don't help yourself to,
you know, they they'll treat here in that.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
I don't normally like sweets.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
That's a big that's a bull face.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
I love butter fingers, and my son will get a
butter finger once in a while, and I'll have help
myself to one or two of those.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Oh there you go, maybe one or two snickers too.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
But this is again how all of a sudden things changing.
Uh so, yeah, I'll take take what I want, and
then you're left for the rest. And they don't need
all that candy.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
That's not good for that, that's not good for them.
Good for that.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
I'm looking.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Do you notice that they do?
Speaker 2 (03:49):
You are your kids like can't like candy fiends kind
of a thing?
Speaker 1 (03:51):
No, not at all.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
It's like I noticed my son ever year, to be honest,
like every Halloween he literally will like the can. You'll
be maybe in his room or on a desk or something,
and he'll take like a couple of piece is out,
and then I noticed he just forgets about it, doesn't
really care about it any.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
We have a candy drawer, and so of course it's split,
you know, one size Tailor's one size Jacks and I'm
kind of in the middle, and so does everything sort
of end up getting you know, mixed around in there.
And you know, if I feel a hankering for something,
and I'll just say, oh, that's over there, sure, and
(04:26):
so they just, you know, at first, they get kind
of pumped and they excited and they eat you know whatever,
the good ones like the Hunter Grand Bar or something
like that, and then and then by the time it
comes like now, they've sort of forgotten about it. Yeah,
so yeah, that does happen, and then it sits there
like all year around.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Yeah, read actually end up doing it. He would, he
would give it like two or three days and then
he'd kind of be over it.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Anything.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Wow, I don't have to take it away from him.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Yeah, what we end up doing a lot of times
is if we go to the movies or something like that,
we'll go, oh, go grab some candy out of the
candy drawer and we'll throw it in there and bring
it with us or something like that, or like road
trips or something like that.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
Yeah, as our sits there for a full year, and
then at Halloween we dump it out and then refill it.
And like you said, my daughter's excited about it for
three four days and then it kind of just sits
there for a year.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Where does she keep it? Because because I got to
imagine the booze.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Yeah, rules there are.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
Well, so it used to be like it would just
stay in her trick or treat bag, and then the
trick or treat bag would kind of live in the
bottom shelf of the pantry and and she would like
take out of there whatever. Right, But then I have
a very crafty sister in law, very Martha Stewart esque,
who's always making baskets.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
With twinkle lights on them and such, and so.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
Yeah, it always makes you feel bad about myself, like
I'm not as creative as you.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
I'm not as sweet and cute and homey as you.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
Like, I know, I just got you a gift card
and it looks like you spent like the creative.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
One year in our little basket was like one of
those old school glass like candy jar looking things, and
she had shoved it with all kinds of stuff to
make hot cocoa, like a hot cocoa kid. And she
even put little cotton balls in there to make them
look like snowballs, and like, well, no, the marshmallows were
(06:21):
in packets, but like loose around there to make it
look like there was snow.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
Yeah, and again the fairy lights and the whole thing.
So that has turned like three years ago, that turned
into the candy jar, and that is where all the
Halloween candy will go, and it sits on our kitchen counter.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Oh yeah, I know, pretty wild. Yeah, there are no rules.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
You said, the rules bro for the boat.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Okay, I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
I thought you were talking about children because you think
candy and children, but you're right. No, the rules are
for my husband. So Halloween night and she, my daughter,
will sort in piles. You got to always sword into
piles to see how many of each you get total totally,
and then whatever candy she doesn't like that goes to
(07:12):
the booze bowl. My husband and she will have a
separate dish of his own. He is not allowed in
her candy dish she once it goes into the booze bowl.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
That's the booze candy disagreements.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
In the beginning, things were disappearing from her candy dish
and she was not appreciating that. So now he has
to stick to his candy dish, which will be things
like the rollers, the milk duds, the plain Hershey bars
that the almond joys uh that lives in his ball.
(07:48):
Yeah yeah, but like but just like you guys said,
like a couple of days after Halloween, the fund's over
and then that thing just sits there all.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
So then why can he enjoys some if nobody's eat
why let it go? Bag?
Speaker 3 (08:01):
He probably could.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
I think he's just traumatized from the year he got caught,
and he's scary he's.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Gonna get caught because you know, I may dip in there.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Really let him know about Dad tax because then he
can do whatever you want. It's like the government. So yeah,
so this year no Halloween candy, which is devastating, you know,
I mean, that's terrible. So I'm at the grocery store
this past weekend and I'm cruising around and I get
to the table where they have like marked down clearance items,
(08:34):
and they'll do this every once in a while, you know,
and I don't know exactly, you know, what's going on
with that table, but this one was pretty wild because
on this table, and it's a pretty big table, was
tons and tons and tons of Halloween stuff. So they
had like some old decorations and things like that that
didn't sell and things like that, but then there was
(08:57):
bags and bags and bags, you know, the big bag
of Halloween candy, and it was all marked fifty percent off,
and I'm like, wowf and I'm looking at it and
I go, well, wait a second. Here, that bag right
there has all the good stuff. It's got Snickers, it's
got kick Cats, it's got all the stuff that I want.
(09:18):
It did have some milky Ways in there, which I
don't want. The thorn no, thank you them. And I'm
just staring at it, and I go, well, what's what's
to say. I can't I can't just buy this bag
of candy. It's fifty percent off. And then there you go,
there's my Halloween candy hall for the year. And I went,
you know what, I want to do this. I got
(09:38):
to live my best life here. And so I took
a bag, put it up, and I got home, dumped
that thing into the candy drawer, and now I'm I'm
set for the year. Yeah, it's great.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Wow for that candy. Oh look, how Mad, I.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Beg your pardon?
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Do what you work for that candy? Mad? Big Halloween candy.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
First of all. First of all, again, I work every day,
so I'm able to do the work, and then I'm
able to afford the luxuries of Halloween candy. And so
I don't understand what you mean. I didn't do the work.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
I feel like you just those bags of candy are
strictly for trick or treating. I feel like it's really
weird to buy those on a normal Saturday morning in November.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
I don't I don't get trick or treaters at my house,
and my kids are not too old to trigger treat.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Well, your trick or treat candy is done.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
So I can't have candy anymore. I don't think that
makes no sense. That makes sense.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Grocery store by Snickers, But I did well, But I did.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
I kind of get what Emily's saying, And this makes
no sense at all. But so you say you get
no trick or treaters if you were to have bought
that bag before Halloween under the guise of maybe one
tricker expensive, right, But that would feel better than you
kind of pooh poohing the whole holiday, not participating, and
(10:59):
then jumping on the sale afterwards like a come up.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
I don't understand why it is these rules are in
place that I am not allowed to buy fifty percent off.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
I mean, your land, whatever you want, it's just does
it hit the same Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
So I have to walk around with a bag, walk
up to a door, ring the doorbell, say cherry Jay,
get the candy, and then maybe say thank you and
walk away. Otherwise it doesn't count.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Or you have to put a bowl of candy, buy
your front door and pretend that you're on the ready
to open.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Sentes twice as much. Yes, yes, yes, but why would
I do that? That's so stupid.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Ye.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Again, we don't go We don't make society's rules. These
are just the rules.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
I'm I'm fighting against society's rules because that's stupid. Yeah,
that doesn't make any sense that I would pay twice
as much for a product that I'm never going to
use and then when it comes up on this great sale.
So let me ask you this, what's up? So this
happens everywhere where after Christmas December twenty sixth. You go
(12:02):
to a target, you go to a home goods, you
go to anything like that, wrapping paper, labels, All that
stuff is marked so far down? Do I not? Am
I not allowed to buy it?
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Didn't you participate in Christmas?
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Of course they did give me a break? Well then, yes,
I participated in Halloween. I had a little something called
brew ball my Halloween party, thank you very much.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
Where you were working to keep the roof over your
children's head grinding.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
I saw how many drinks you were doing.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
I was busy. I was working hard, working hard. So
is that out a lot?
Speaker 3 (12:37):
That's different?
Speaker 1 (12:38):
That's your Oh what? That's you what?
Speaker 3 (12:39):
That's not something you ingest first of all. Second of all,
it's something that you prepare for for next year.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
You're not buying this candy in preparation for Halloween twenty
twenty six.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
If you If there's a leftover one, I'll save it.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Okay, Oh I don't want that.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
It's kind of that weird whitish brown. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Why is this just a grade? Still?
Speaker 1 (13:01):
They don't go bad?
Speaker 3 (13:03):
No shame taking stuff off that table.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
No, not at all. Now I'm feeling like I should
be feeling a certain way because of you two weirdos.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
It it's for your kids either, it's for your you.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Then have they can help themselves every once in a while.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Once in a while. You mean the stickers with a
bat on it.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
I don't think that's weird at all. The only sad
part is I didn't get the variety you know that
I want. There was only like, what three or four
different varieties in that bag, So I may go back
and get another bag. So that because I didn't get
any recess peanut butter cups, that's devastating.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Buy them at the store.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Yeah, I did. That's exactly what I'm Why would I
do that if I can get a fifty percent You're
making no sense.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
You're making no sense, weird man.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Don't care. I stand by my move, and I'm gonna
be candy left and right. Pal, Thanks you very much.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Enjoy a little goblet. Oh I will okay,
Well, I know we are a couple of weeks removed
from Halloween, but it was very different this year for me,
especially because my kids did not go trick or treating
the first time ever, and you know, they're sixteen and thirteen.

So that has turned like three years ago, that turned
into the candy jar, and that is where all the
Halloween candy will go, and it sits on our kitchen counter.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Oh yeah, I know, pretty wild. Yeah, there are no rules.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
You said, the rules bro for the boat.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Okay, I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
I thought you were talking about children because you think
candy and children, but you're right. No, the rules are
for my husband. So Halloween night and she, my daughter,
will sort in piles. You got to always sword into
piles to see how many of each you get total totally,
and then whatever candy she doesn't like that goes to
(07:12):
the booze bowl. My husband and she will have a
separate dish of his own. He is not allowed in
her candy dish she once it goes into the booze bowl.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
That's the booze candy disagreements.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
In the beginning, things were disappearing from her candy dish
and she was not appreciating that. So now he has
to stick to his candy dish, which will be things
like the rollers, the milk duds, the plain Hershey bars
that the almond joys uh that lives in his ball.
(07:48):
Yeah yeah, but like but just like you guys said,
like a couple of days after Halloween, the fund's over
and then that thing just sits there all.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
So then why can he enjoys some if nobody's eat
why let it go? Bag?
Speaker 3 (08:01):
He probably could.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
I think he's just traumatized from the year he got caught,
and he's scary he's.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Gonna get caught because you know, I may dip in there.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Really let him know about Dad tax because then he
can do whatever you want. It's like the government. So yeah,
so this year no Halloween candy, which is devastating, you know,
I mean, that's terrible. So I'm at the grocery store
this past weekend and I'm cruising around and I get
to the table where they have like marked down clearance items,
(08:34):
and they'll do this every once in a while, you know,
and I don't know exactly, you know, what's going on
with that table, but this one was pretty wild because
on this table, and it's a pretty big table, was
tons and tons and tons of Halloween stuff. So they
had like some old decorations and things like that that
didn't sell and things like that, but then there was
(08:57):
bags and bags and bags, you know, the big bag
of Halloween candy, and it was all marked fifty percent off,
and I'm like, wowf and I'm looking at it and
I go, well, wait a second. Here, that bag right
there has all the good stuff. It's got Snickers, it's
got kick Cats, it's got all the stuff that I want.
(09:18):
It did have some milky Ways in there, which I
don't want. The thorn no, thank you them. And I'm
just staring at it, and I go, well, what's what's
to say. I can't I can't just buy this bag
of candy. It's fifty percent off. And then there you go,
there's my Halloween candy hall for the year. And I went,
you know what, I want to do this. I got
(09:38):
to live my best life here. And so I took
a bag, put it up, and I got home, dumped
that thing into the candy drawer, and now I'm I'm
set for the year. Yeah, it's great.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Wow for that candy. Oh look, how Mad, I.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Beg your pardon?
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Do what you work for that candy? Mad? Big Halloween candy.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
First of all. First of all, again, I work every day,
so I'm able to do the work, and then I'm
able to afford the luxuries of Halloween candy. And so
I don't understand what you mean. I didn't do the work.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
I feel like you just those bags of candy are
strictly for trick or treating. I feel like it's really
weird to buy those on a normal Saturday morning in November.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
I don't I don't get trick or treaters at my house,
and my kids are not too old to trigger treat.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Well, your trick or treat candy is done.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
So I can't have candy anymore. I don't think that
makes no sense. That makes sense.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Grocery store by Snickers, But I did well, But I did.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
I kind of get what Emily's saying, And this makes
no sense at all. But so you say you get
no trick or treaters if you were to have bought
that bag before Halloween under the guise of maybe one
tricker expensive, right, But that would feel better than you
kind of pooh poohing the whole holiday, not participating, and
(10:59):
then jumping on the sale afterwards like a come up.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
I don't understand why it is these rules are in
place that I am not allowed to buy fifty percent off.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
I mean, your land, whatever you want, it's just does
it hit the same Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
So I have to walk around with a bag, walk
up to a door, ring the doorbell, say cherry Jay,
get the candy, and then maybe say thank you and
walk away. Otherwise it doesn't count.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Or you have to put a bowl of candy, buy
your front door and pretend that you're on the ready
to open.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Sentes twice as much. Yes, yes, yes, but why would
I do that? That's so stupid.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Ye.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Again, we don't go We don't make society's rules. These
are just the rules.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
I'm I'm fighting against society's rules because that's stupid. Yeah,
that doesn't make any sense that I would pay twice
as much for a product that I'm never going to
use and then when it comes up on this great sale.
So let me ask you this, what's up? So this
happens everywhere where after Christmas December twenty sixth. You go
(12:02):
to a target, you go to a home goods, you
go to anything like that, wrapping paper, labels, All that
stuff is marked so far down? Do I not? Am
I not allowed to buy it?
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Didn't you participate in Christmas?
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Of course they did give me a break? Well then, yes,
I participated in Halloween. I had a little something called
brew ball my Halloween party, thank you very much.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
Where you were working to keep the roof over your
children's head grinding.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
I saw how many drinks you were doing.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
I was busy. I was working hard, working hard. So
is that out a lot?
Speaker 3 (12:37):
That's different?
Speaker 1 (12:38):
That's your Oh what? That's you what?
Speaker 3 (12:39):
That's not something you ingest first of all. Second of all,
it's something that you prepare for for next year.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
You're not buying this candy in preparation for Halloween twenty
twenty six.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
If you If there's a leftover one, I'll save it.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Okay, Oh I don't want that.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
It's kind of that weird whitish brown. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Why is this just a grade? Still?
Speaker 1 (13:01):
They don't go bad?
Speaker 3 (13:03):
No shame taking stuff off that table.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
No, not at all. Now I'm feeling like I should
be feeling a certain way because of you two weirdos.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
It it's for your kids either, it's for your you.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Then have they can help themselves every once in a while.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Once in a while. You mean the stickers with a
bat on it.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
I don't think that's weird at all. The only sad
part is I didn't get the variety you know that
I want. There was only like, what three or four
different varieties in that bag, So I may go back
and get another bag. So that because I didn't get
any recess peanut butter cups, that's devastating.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Buy them at the store.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Yeah, I did. That's exactly what I'm Why would I
do that if I can get a fifty percent You're
making no sense.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
You're making no sense, weird man.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Don't care. I stand by my move, and I'm gonna
be candy left and right. Pal, Thanks you very much.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Enjoy a little goblet. Oh I will okay,

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.
