in today's show. Look, failure is something that happens. Success
is something that happens. But here's the thing. There's a
(01:30):
path that can take you to both. And people are like,
what do you mean can take you to both? Look,
if you quit, you fail, you don't succeed. But if
you never quit, you stay on the path to the success.
You never quit. If you don't quit, if you don't
(01:52):
give up on yourself, you will get to where you're going.
You know, I've quit many times on myself. Many times. Hey,
every one of my divorces, going through family problems, having
fucking financial difficulties. There's many times where I just fucking
fell on my ass and fucking quit. But something in me,
(02:15):
you know, in those moments of desperation, in those moments
of fucking like you know, of clouds and fucking you know, confusion,
I really fucking thought about it. I contemplated everything going
on in my life and why I keep failing, you know,
But for some odd reason, I just would get back
(02:38):
up and say, fuck it, I'm not quitting, and I'd
start again. I'd start over and over again. You know,
it took me a long time to get to my
life now. There's a lot of ups and downs, there's
a lot of trials and tribulations. But I've been through it,
you know. You know that I've had a lot of scares,
(02:59):
I've had a lot of fall and I've hit rock
bottom more than a few times, because you know, that's
what life does to people when you let it, when
you start letting the negativity crush you, when you start
letting the world really like hit you, you know, and you
don't fight back, it will fucking crush you. And it
(03:22):
did to me, all right. But I just would hold
on to a little bit of.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Hope, a little bit of like, I can do this,
I can get through this, a little fucking like I'd
have a little ray of sunshine coming through those fucking dark, stormy,
fucking clouds of what I called my life.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
And I just kept moving forward. I never really quit.
I had moments in times that I did quit, but
I would turn around and stop. I would fucking you know,
just reach my hand out and hoping and praying that
someone would save me, help me, take care of all
my issues, take care of my problems and fix those situations,
(04:03):
you know, And that only person that was there to
do that for me was me. You know, I've had
plenty of help. I've had, you know, numerous people backing
me up, believing in me, But I also had the
biggest person holding me down was me letting myself quit,
letting myself give up. But it was also me helping
me to fucking not quit, to survive, to push through,
(04:26):
to persevere, to deal with these trials and tribulations that
life gave me, you know. And like I said, I
I've you know, divorce, lost my kids, got my kids, jobs, stress, money,
no car, walking in the rain to work, fucking taking
public transportation, having to get up at fucking three o'clock
(04:49):
in the morning to get ready for a six o'clock day.
Because I got to figure out how to get to work,
I got to figure out how to get home. I
got to figure out how to wash my clothes. I
got to figure out how to fucking eat. I gotta
figure out how to pay the bills that I need
to pay. I got to figure out how to take
care of my family at a distance. I've been through
all those things, and it fucking sucks, and it's so
(05:11):
much on you, all right, because I've definitely had that,
and it just fucking you know, I think on it
and it's like, God fucking damn. But at the same time,
I see where I stand and I realize, God fucking damn,
I'm this fucking far. I push it this fucking hard.
I've gotten to this distance because I never really quit.
(05:35):
I constantly push forward. I constantly fucking moved the needle,
believing in myself, understanding that shit happens, but at the
same fucking time, dealing with it as it happens. You know,
it takes a certain amount of trusting yourself, and when
that trust is not there, it fucking sucks. You don't
(05:55):
know what to do. You're confused, you're lost, You're fucking
fill alone. The world is crushing in on you. The
pressure is there. But the thing is is you have
a little spark, You have a little bit of success,
and you got to hold onto that success because that success,
that little spark, that little thing that happened, is that
one step forward, that one step forward took you to
where you need to go. It's getting you where you
(06:18):
need to go. That's why you can't quit on yourself.
That's why you got to understand shit happens, and it's
not just to you, it's everybody. You know. I use
my examples all the time because I'm trying to prove
the fucking point that everything happens to everybody. You're not alone.
You're not the only fucking person out here struggling. You're
not the only person out here fucking worried about everything.
(06:40):
You're not alone. And because you're not alone, you need
to know that if someone else can get through it,
you can too. It is not a hopeless dead end road.
The path of success is there. You just can't see
the fucking end yet. You know what the goal is.
You see what you don't see what's there, but you
(07:02):
know it's there, and I'm trusting you to tell you
it's there. What you want in your life, the goals
that you want to reach, are reachable. But the thing
is is you can't fucking understand or predict the path,
the road, the way you go. You just got to
trust in the process. You make a mistake, you can
make the wrong turn, as the fuck what you love
(07:23):
back around, you get back on the path, you keep
pushing forward. That is just it. You know, all roads
will lead to your goal, but the thing is that
sometimes it's a longer way than the other. You know,
some people get their faster, some people get their slower,
but guess the fuck what, they still get there. It
took me a long time to get to where I
(07:44):
wanted to be for my goal, to reach my finish line.
And the way I reached it is I just kept moving.
I just kept trusting myself. I just kept trusting what
I thought. I kept trusting in me that I can
do this, that I can be successful. And yes I
had my hiccups. Yes I've had my stumbles and falls,
but I dusted myself back off and got back up,
(08:07):
and just understand, I fucked up. Understand I accept this
fuck up. But I don't let this happen again. You know,
I always recognize every time that I've made these mistakes,
and I recognize them after the fact. Understand that you
can't fucking recognize the shit that you're not supposed to
do until after you fucking do it. Not an excuse,
(08:28):
but it's a lesson and you have to learn that lesson.
As in, hey, I didn't like this, I don't want
this to happen again, recognize it a little faster next time,
because that's the fucking truth right there. That is the
goddamn fucking truth right there. You can correct what you
fucked up, and you can recognize it next time, because
(08:50):
that's part of the path, that's part of the journey,
it's part of the success. You know what I'm saying.
You got to get there in your own fucking way.
I have had to learn every lesson the hard way.
You know, I'm thick headed, I'm fucking stubborn, I'm stupid,
I fucking you know, I'm that guy's guy. But I've
grown from every one of those lessons and learn to
(09:12):
fucking understand how I want to be, how I want
to talk, how I want to communicate, and how i
want others to be around me, what I'm willing to
accept and what I'm willing to deal with, and what
I'm willing to forgive. And because I've done that, because
I've had that, because I've been there, guess the fuck
what has helped me on my path to guide myself
in the direction I want to be in. Success is
(09:35):
about never quitting on yourself. Success is about never quitting
on your ideas. Success is about never quitting on your goals.
Goals change, success ideas change. You know, where you want
to be changes, But the end result, the goal is
the goal, whether whether what you want it to be
(09:58):
or not. You know, I'm saying, success is understanding that
you'll get there in your own fucking time. There's no
fucking rush. The faster you rush it, the more shit
will get crazy. But the thing is, take it one
step at a time, one day at a time, you know,
one moment at a time, break it down into smaller pieces,
work on it, and all that good shit be. Cause,
(10:21):
like I said, it took me a long time to
get to where I want to be. It took me
a long time to get my life how I wanted
it to be. You know, I've gone through all kinds
of crazy things in my life. But at the same
fucking time, you know, I fucking made it. I feel
I made it in my life. You know what I'm saying,
(10:41):
I've reached the goal that I wanted to reach, and
everything's extra now because I'm happy. My family's happy, my
wife's happy, I got two fucking dogs. I enjoy my
fucking life and it's it's a pleasure to wake up
every day. You know what I'm saying. That's my fucking goal,
that's my fucking happiness, that's my marker of success for me,
you know, and I want you guys to know that
(11:02):
shit too. I'm playing everyone's levels different, everyone's things are different.
But at the same fucking time, if I gave up
on myself, I'd still be exactly where I was then.
I never quit and I never will quit because I
feel that I can get more, I can do more,
I can be more, and I enjoy the adventures that
(11:25):
I'm on now. So I'm trying to tell you guys
the exact saying fucking thing. Understand. Never quit. You might
want to, you might even quit, but dust yourself off,
keep fucking moving and successes around the corner. I guess
(11:47):
the fuck what is your mother's fucking dad. You want
to watch my shit YouTube? You want us to a spreak,

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.
