please check it out. Let's get in today's show. I
want to talk about reacting. A lot of us react harshly.
And what I mean when I'm saying reacting, it's it's
(01:42):
having a conversation and not hearing what's being said, or
you know, like you're you're, you're at an event, you're, you're,
you're doing something and you just hear something that you
don't fucking like, you don't want to fucking hear, and
you just pop off at the mouth. All right. A
lot of us overreact. A lot of us fucking jump
to conclusions. A lot of us fucking don't hear what
(02:03):
the actually what things are actually being said. We just
fucking we're selectively picking what we want to hear so
we can react the way we're gonna react. I used
to do it all the fucking time, all right, I
would get mad, I would get upset, I'd start fucking yelling,
I would be all over the fucking place when shit
didn't go my fucking way. But a lot of times
I just wasn't paying attention to what was being said.
(02:25):
It was a miss miscommunication. A lot of us have that,
A lot of us do that. But if you take
a fucking second, take a fucking breather, you know what
I'm saying, walk away, think about it, cool the fuck down,
come back to the conversation, and all of a sudden,
it's a different fucking thing. You know what I'm saying.
I've been in tons of fucking fights. I've been in
(02:46):
tons of fucking like arguments where you know nothing is
going to work the way I want it to work,
And just because they won't hear what I have to
fucking say, guess what, my time and my f and
my fucking my mental health is not fucking up for
debate for anybody else. So guess what. Sometimes it's easier
(03:08):
to agree and then fucking walk away. It's easier to
be like, you know, I'm not part of this conversation.
I'm fucking leaving. I'm not here to deal with this
I'm not here to fucking be fucking a somebody's punching bag.
I'm not fucking you know what I'm saying. I'm quick
to react and fucking quick to respond, but a lot
of times I find that puts me in a fucking
position where I'm just digging a fucking hole and putting
(03:30):
myself more into whatever the fucking situation is. A lot
of us do that, all right. A lot of us
fucking don't understand why we do that. It's because certain
people get under our fucking skin. Certain people fucking really
know how to fucking push our buttons. But guess the
fuck what, It's up to you to not deal with that.
It's up to you to not react like that. It's
(03:51):
up to you to not feed it, all right. That's
the main thing here, is not feeding that. You know,
people are fucking stupid, People are fucking dumb, But at
the same fucking time, if you let them drag you down,
you're just as dumb because it is what it is,
all right. I can't deal with that shit no more.
(04:13):
I've learned to fucking be like whatever, fuck it, I'm done,
dead pan, fucking face. I'm not dealing with this this
is out of my fucking hands. I'm sorry I can't
help you. I refuse to communicate, I refuse to talk,
I refuse to be ghastly. I refuse to fucking deal
with it. I'm happier letting you think you're right. I'm
(04:36):
happier with you fucking understanding that, oh, you won this
fucking fight. I'm not dealing with that. If I can
actually have a conversation with somebody and I overreact and
they can point it out to me, I've learned to
listen for those cues. I've learned to understand that. I've
learned to you know what I said my piece. Let
them say their peace, and then I'll fucking then we
(04:56):
can have a conversation. Because I don't know how many
times I've tried to overtalk somebody. I don't how many
time somebody trying to overtalk me, and that goes fucking nowhere.
It leads to a dead fucking end that never fucking ends.
I would rather be fucking I'm done and walk the
fuck away. If someone doesn't want to hear my side,
(05:17):
if someone doesn't want to pay attention, if someone doesn't
fucking give a fuck about what I have to fucking say,
and it's only about them. Yeah, you're right, and then
I'm done. I'm no longer involved, I'm no longer fucking
you know, paying the fuck attention. I no longer care
what you have to say, and also to pretty much
at that point when that kind of shit happens, where
(05:38):
somebody's like really not fucking paying attention to me or
really fucking trying to work shit out with me, end
of conversation, end of this relationship. This is the last
time we'll probably ever fucking talk because I don't do drama.
I don't deal with bullshit. I do not accept this
into my life, and it's easier to just let them
(06:01):
think they won and then walk the fuck away, not
deal with it ever the fuck again. You hear what
I'm fucking saying. Sometimes the loss is a win. Sometimes
when that happens, you cut off the dead weight. Sometimes
when that happens, you walk away feeling better because, guess
(06:24):
the fuck what, You're not stupid, You understand, you're you're
a fucking person who actually fucking is involved in the world.
Because some people are just wrapped up in their own
fucking shit and will never get over that, and that's
real fucking talk, right fucking there. I fucking can't stress
(06:44):
that enough. All right, people really need to understand that
fucking shit, get it. I'd rather not deal with that.
I'd rather fucking just be at my own fucking peace
and let them live in their happy, own fucking world.
And sometimes you have to do that in your life.
(07:05):
We have loved ones that are like that, We have
family members that are like that, we have friends that
are like that, and then we have people that are
like that that we never talk to again. You see
what I'm saying. And don't get me started on coworkers
that are like that, because guess what we are co workers,
we're not even acquaintances, we're not even friends. Just because
I see you every fucking day of my life doesn't
(07:27):
mean I fucking know you or care about you. You
know what I'm saying. Some people feel they're entitled to
your fucking time. Well, guess the fuck what. Nobody is
entitled to your fucking time. No one's entitled to your
fucking anything in your life. You see what I'm saying.
You give what you're willing to give, and I give
very little to those that I give no fucks about
(07:48):
or those who do not give a fuck about me.
If you don't care about my feelings, you don't care
about my emotions, you don't care about my well being,
why the fuck should I even give a fuck about you,
or your opinion or your fucking thoughts on anything. Think
about that fucking shit. It's easier to live a life
(08:09):
of peace and give a fuck about anybody's fucking bullshit. Okay,
oh yeah, yeah, you're you're right, and then walk the
fuck away. I agree, walk the fuck away knowing that
I will not deal with this ever the fuck again,
because people are fucking dumb and it just is what
(08:30):
it fucking is. I say it all the fucking time.
You know what I'm saying. Like I said, I've definitely overreacted.
I've definitely fucking blown up. I've definitely been that person.
But it took me a long time to grow out
of it. It took me a long time to not
be like that. It took me a long time to
fucking be an adult. And now how I know. I
can control my piece, I can control my environment, I
(08:52):
can control who the fuck I am, I can control
what I deal with. It's changed my fucking life. I'll
take a deep breath, look someone in the eye, and
then walk the fuck away, because guess the fuck what.
I don't do bullshit, I don't do drama. I just
you know, i'd live my life a certain fucking way,
(09:13):
and a lot of times, you know, it's just letting
people know that they have the power to fucking not
have to deal with this person or people or situations
or things. We always have the ability to just walk away,
whether it's at a loss, whether it's at a win,
whether it's fucking like you know what, I'm drained, I'm done,
(09:34):
don't give a fuck. I don't owe you no fucking time,
I don't owe you my presence, and then fucking go.
I do it. I say it, and fucking I agree
with it all the fucking time. You see what I'm
fucking saying. You see what I'm fucking saying. That's just
what it is. That's just what it is. Please understand
(09:57):
that you can do that with your fucking life. Fuck
everybody else, fuck their bullshit, and live your life. Don't react,
think about what the fuck's going on, whether it's worth
your time or not. Because if it's worth your time,
hey make your argument but if it's not worth your time,
you know, Okay, move the fuck on. That's just all
(10:18):
I'm fucking saying. So guess the fuck what is that

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.
