(01:34):
in today's show. You know, I constantly talk about putting
yourself first, putting yourself above everybody. You know, it's always
frowned upon. You know, everyone thinks bad about it, or
even to ourselves. You know, we never want to put
ourselves first. That's one of the main things in this
conversation is we don't want to put ourselves first. We

(01:57):
don't want to put ourselves up before our kids. We
don't want to put ourselves before our wife, we don't
want to put ourselves before our family. But here's the
fucking truth, and this is the hard reality of the truth.
If you do not put yourself first, you cannot take
care of yourself. And if you can't take care of yourself,
how you expect to take care of anybody else? You

(02:17):
know that it's just what it is in a family unit.
You being able to manage your feelings, your emotions, your
physical well being, all right, if being able to take
care of oneself helps you take care of everybody else.
I'm not saying you need to spend all the money
on you. I'm not saying that you need to You know,

(02:39):
I only do what I want to fucking do. Is
like no, you prioritize the things that will help you
in your life. Support those who you support, all right,
whether it's working out, whether it's training, whether it's mental work,
all right, mental well being. You always have to put
yourself before everybody, because the better you take care of yourself,

(03:04):
the better you will take care of everybody else. It
goes downhill when you're at the top of the hill.
Everyone else that you're supporting, guess what. You're supporting them,
you're helping them, you're leaving them. You are taking the
charge by fucking paving the path. And the easier that
path is for you, the easier that path will be

(03:25):
for everybody else that's in your circle, that's in your pyramid,
everyone that's under your wing, everyone that's under you will
have a better, more successful life because you take care
of your self. Like I said, I'm not talking about
being selfish with everything, but I'm saying being fucking selfish
with your time and understanding what's important to you and

(03:48):
what's gonna take to take care of those important things.
You know, we all want to live a long, successful life,
but you can't live a long successful life if you're
not taking care of yourself. Fucking eating garbage, if you're
just fucking being sedentary, if you're just fucking ignoring all
your fucking health concerns, ignoring your fucking aches and pains,

(04:11):
and just completely beating yourself down and fucking running yourself ragged,
never fucking sleeping, never fucking you know, taking care of
these issues. It's I've always had that attitude growing up,
where it's like, I'll sleep when I die, I'll get
enough rest when I'm in the fucking ground. And that's
the kind of mindset that fucks you, fucks your life,

(04:33):
and fucks everyone else in your life, because guess what,
no one wants to see you in the ground. No
one wants to see you dead. Everybody that loves you
and cares for you wants to see you succeed in life.
And how do you succeed in that life by living
a long, lovely life. And the way you do that

(04:54):
is taking care of yourself, putting yourself first, putting yourself
in the position that you can take care everybody. You know,
it's there's always that expression, I would die for my family. Well,
guess the fuck what I would live for my family.
I would do positive things for my family. I will
add to my life for my family. You know, it's

(05:18):
always easy to think in that negative mindset, But it's
getting ourselves out of that negative mindset to change your perspective,
to change your view, to change the outlook of what
things was and what they will be. All right, It's
just understanding that, you know, like I said, we all
sacrifice a lot of things in our life to take

(05:41):
care of those that we love. God knows I have,
you know what I'm saying. I've put myself through a
lot of fucking shit just to survive, just to take
care of just to make sure that my family goes
without and I hurt myself for it, all right, I
fucking didn't sleep, I didn't fucking eat my mental fucking

(06:03):
well being with shit, all right. I was always in
this negative mindset if I just gotta work, I just
gotta work. I just gotta do these things. And guess
what I say, negative mindset is because I took away
my time from my family. You know what I'm saying,
my younger my older kids. You know, I wasn't there
as much as I'd like to be because I just
had this mindset of I need to provide, I need

(06:25):
to work, and so I missed out. And for my
kids that are younger, guess what I don't do that.
I don't sacrifice my fucking time. I don't sacrifice my happiness.
I don't sacrifice these things that I can share with them,
these moments in life that I'll never get fucking back.
Because there's a lot of us out there who sacrifice

(06:46):
that time, give up that fucking time because we need
to make it mends meet. I understand it, I get it,
but you know, at a certain point in life, it's
like I did all this work for nothing because I
have nothing but the fucking work I did. You know,
I used to have that fucking lifestyle of like, you know,
I see my fucking coworkers more than I see my family.

(07:07):
I spend more time at work than I do at home.
You know. We used to always joke at work saying that,
you know, this is my home and I visit my
house for work. You know what I'm saying. These are
real fucking terms that people fucking say, you know what
I'm saying, because we we are those people that get
out there and fucking work. You know, I went through
a lot of fucking life events that fucking you know,

(07:28):
I damn near died from, and it really opened up
my fucking eyes and like, let me see, Oh fuck,
I was in the wrong fucking mindset, the wrong fucking lifestyle,
because you know, I only have memories of work. I
don't have full memories of being there for my kids.
You know. I've had things where I was there, and
I've you know, shared those moments, but there's a lot

(07:48):
of times that I'm like, oh, I really wasn't there
for that, you know. And it took me a long
time to realize that I'm not putting myself first. I'm
not putting my happiness first. I'm not putting myself into
position to really win in life. You know, I had
a misconception of this is what I needed to do,
this is how I need to provide, and you know,
everything else falls to the wayside. But that's not how

(08:12):
life is. Life should never be like that. You know,
you end up being very poor in life when you
think like that. You know, and a lot of us
don't know better, you know what I'm saying, We don't
have no guidance in understanding that. You know, a lot
of us fucking you know, blue collar, fucking you know,
hard workers, laborers out there. You know, we struggle because

(08:35):
we that's the only thing we know how. You know,
it took quite a bit for me to get out
of that fucking shit. And then once I realized it,
once I seen it, once I had that epiphany in
life where I'm like, oh, I really need to take
care of myself to be there. I really need to
manage myself so I can have the things that I

(08:56):
really truly want out of life. And once I started
putting myself first, all of a sudden, my life completely
fucking changed. All Right, I'm happy. I'm fucking doing the
things I want, spending the time the way I want it.
I'm fucking you know.

Speaker 1 (09:12):
The hobbies, the the the ability to enjoy the fucking moment,
you know, instead of fucking worrying about like I just
need to go to work, I just need to show up.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
I just need to put all this fucking effort in.
You know, I really fucking drowned myself growing up because
I just thought I needed to be a certain fucking way.
But that's the misconception that I had. That's the the
harsh reality for a lot of us out there. You know,
we do not ever put ourselves first. We never put

(09:45):
ourselves at at what is needed in this fucking world.
You know what I'm saying, A lot of a lot
of men out there, a lot of women out there,
guess what, I need to work to put a roof
over our head, food in our belly, food in the fridge,
clothes on our back. And we struggle with that, and
then we're exhausted, we're tired, we're depressed, we're upset. You

(10:10):
know what I'm saying. Our fucking our health falls onto
the wayside because we can't afford or want to go
to the doctors, go to the hospitals, because guess the
fuck what that costs money. You know what costs more money,
you not being around you, not taking care of your responsibilities,
and you not helping in the life that you need.

(10:33):
You know what I'm saying. Like I said, there's a
lot of back and forth, there's a lot of open
conversation that people can have with this, with this thought process.
But here's the thing. I find that I myself when
I'm taking care of my health, when I'm eating right,
when I'm exercising, when I'm really locked in doing the

(10:54):
things that i want to do for myself and for
the for the well being of others. Because if I
can take care of myself, that means I have more
time or effort, more energy to put in to the
things that I want to fucking do and share with
my family, my wife, my kids, my dogs, my friends.

(11:14):
You know what I'm saying. Because when I'm high on life,
everyone else gets to be high on life. But when
you're miserable, when you're depressed, when you're upset, when you're moody,
when you don't feel fucking good, who the fuck wants
to be around you? Who the fuck wants to deal
with that? Nobody? And the reason they don't want to
deal with is because they don't want to set you

(11:35):
off because you're upset, because you're in your head. You're
in your mind, you are just thinking about what you
have to do and not doing the things that you
should be doing by putting yourself fucking first. Like I said,
there's a lot of open conversation on a lot of
debate in just that fact. And I understand a lot
of us certain situations that we can't fucking change. Well,

(11:56):
guess the fuck what that is the lie. You can
change the situation, you can flip that situation, you know
what I'm saying. We just feel tied down, we feel
staked to the ground, because this is as far as
I can go, This is as much as I can
fucking do. But that's the lie we tell ourselves. We

(12:19):
don't have time, we don't have the ability to change.
We don't we can't fucking pull ourselves out of the
fucking mud, and we just stay there and fester and
just do what we can to make it check by check,
day by day, week by week, year by year, because
that's exactly what we fucking do. But here's the thing

(12:42):
that's not the fucking truth. Because as soon as you
start taking care of yourself. You figure out how to
pull yourself out of the mud. You figure out how
to pull yourself out of those situations. You change the
way you think about all this stuff, and all of
a sudden, you're on your feet. All of a sudden,
you're walking, all of a sudden, you're running. All of

(13:05):
a sudden, you are where you want to be in life.
That's the fucking truth. I did it. You can do it.
It's easy to say, it's hard to fucking do. But
guess the fuck what this the angry motherfucking dad. Thank
you guys for watching. I appreciate it. If you want
to watch my shit YouTube, you want to listen to it.

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.
