(01:38):
let's get into today's show. You know, there's a lot
of things in this world that men and even women
we have to hold near and dear to ourselves. We're
not hot, we're not trained. We're not you know, given
access to like things that we should have. And when
I mean things that we should have, I'm talking about

(01:59):
mental you know, mental stability. All right, It's something that's
not taught. You know what I'm saying. We're not taught
how to control our feelings. We're not taught what feelings are.
We're not taught that it's okay to have feelings. It's
this taboo thing that a lot of us keep to ourselves.
You know what I'm saying. A lot of us grow
up in loving families, and a lot of us don't.
And a lot of us grow up in families where

(02:20):
we don't discuss our feelings. We don't discuss our emotions,
we don't discuss our thoughts, we don't discuss how we
get anxiety or feel you know what I'm saying, because
some of us get over stimulated and don't know what
overstimulation means. All right. I don't know how many times
I've grown up where I'm like, I'm frustrated, I'm upset

(02:41):
in this mind mode of like, get the fuck out
of my fucking face, I hate everybody, I don't want
to fucking talk to nobody. Is someone's about to catch
these fucking hands, all right? And that's overstimulation because guess what,
you were just involved in something that pushed you over
the edge, and you don't know how to cap it.
You don't know how to control it. You don't even

(03:01):
know what it is. You just have this deep guttural
feeling that something is happening. I'm not happy, I feel weird,
and I don't know what to do, so I lash out.
You know, That's something that I've definitely dealt with my
entire life and didn't even realize what it was or
even understand that it was a thing, or understand that

(03:24):
I have power over it. You know, we have power
over our feelings, We have power over emotions, We have
power over how we feel at all times. But the
thing is is if we don't know what that is,
how can you control it? How you can't even name it?
How do you know what to do with it? You

(03:45):
know what I'm saying. These are terms and emotions and
feelings that are not given, talking, spoken, or shared with
someone growing up. You know, and look, there are people
who have used and abuse terms. But also to these
terms that we need to learn, these terms that we
need to share, these terms that we need to pass
on to our fucking kids. We need to show them

(04:08):
how we can control them and use them to our
advantage and use them to our understanding. You know, like
I said, I would be fucking in this weird funk
sometimes through the whole day and just not know what
it is, say me nasty fucking things, fucking just be
absolutely a fucking dick and rude and upset and fucking

(04:31):
like people have what's wrong with you? Nothing's fucking wrong
with me? I'm oh, fucking kay, don't fucking worry about
what the fuck is going on with me. That's how
I would feel, That's how I would communicate, you know
what I'm saying, I would just attack, not knowing that, hey,
take a breather. The situation that you're going through. Are
these words that were said to you. They don't mean

(04:53):
a goddamn fucking thing. They're not directed to you, or
even too. If you misunderstood somebody and and all of
a sudden, that fucking anxious feeling starts coming up like
you're gonna vomit. You know what I'm saying that that's
a signal that your body's let you know that, hey,
deal with this this emotion, this feeling, this this thing
that's gonna regurgitate out of your fucking mouth because you

(05:16):
are upset. And the reason you're upset is because you
let that person say that, or you didn't communicate to
that person, so it's your fault. And then you're feeling
disappointed in yourself or you don't understand that you're having
these mixed emotions that you feel disappointment even though you
like subconsciously think that you disappointed somebody or that you

(05:37):
subconsciously fucked up, and now you have to fucking admit
to it. But the thing is, as soon as you
can acknowledge that, accept that, and and process that, you
can move on with your fucking day and let it
roll off your shoulder, think about it, breathe about it.
Because a lot of the things that a lot of
techniques that I fucking use is as soon as I

(05:58):
start getting this this eruption that's getting ready to come
up I'm talking about, I can feel the built up.
I can feel the anxiety, I can feel the tension,
I can feel the emotion. You know what I'm saying
and what I mean, I feel. I can physically feel it.
It's like this tailing sensation. It starts in my fucking
gut and then it slowly builds up to my fucking head.

(06:19):
And as it builds up to my fucking head, it's
like this fucking meter that hits and all of a sudden,
I'm upset, all of a sudden, I'm fucking I'm angry.
All of a sudden, I don't know how to fucking
act because I'm in this blind rage of emotion, but
because I understand it, because now I know what triggers it.

(06:39):
Now that I know that, like, hey, this is hitting me,
and because it's hitting me, and now that it's building up,
I know how to fucking stop it. I know how
to put a fucking endto it. I don't let it
get to the point where I'm fucking just this mean, nasty,
fucking person in the fucking world. I can fucking be like,
all right, let me take a breather, let me really
fucking think about this, let me really dice what the

(07:00):
fuck's going on. Let me take this anxiety and fucking
deal with it right here and then, Because when I
do that, I don't get to the fucking anger part.
I get to the fucking like, okay, whatever part. I
get to the I'm over it part. I get to
the relief part. I get to the pressure is gone part,
and that feeling, that emotion, that that physical attribute that

(07:22):
it has over me is gone. All right. I just
needed to breathe, I needed to think. I needed to
fucking clear my fucking head, meditate in a fucking way.
If he'd say, all right, because that's what it is.
You know, when my son gets upset, when my kids
get upset, you know, I try to help them, like,
you know, you get mad at the situation. Why are

(07:44):
you in that situation because you let you get yourself
get into whatever, that argument or that social fucking setting
that upsets you because something is happening you don't fucking
like it. Guess what, you don't have to deal with it.
You don't have to put up with it, or guess what.
You can speak on it. You can say something on it,
and you can communicate in a way where people fucking

(08:04):
understand your fucking point. Not everyone will get your fucking point,
but at the same fucking time, it's about one's self.
It's about one's emotion, your emotion, your feelings, how you
were doing, and your happiness. You know what I'm saying.
I constantly say you need to fucking you know, protect
your happiness, protect your sanity, protect your emotions, but you

(08:25):
need to protect it from the world. And once you
understand your feelings and your emotions and how to process
them and how to really fucking like absorb them and
fucking you know, just like the triggers that can fucking
happen that can spark it. You know what I'm saying.
Overstimulation is something that I didn't know that was a
thing until recently. You know what I'm saying, I didn't

(08:46):
know that. Oh that's what's happening to me. I'm around
too many people. There's too many things going on. There's
too much sound, there's too much light, there's too many
things irritating me for me to have a clear thought.
Because I can't have that clear thought, because I can't
have that clear moment, it starts building up, it starts

(09:08):
afrupting that that physical feeling that I have starts getting
to that fucking red line. I'm like, oh, okay, it's happened.
Let me walk outside, let me take a breather, let
me remove myself so I don't have this thing happened
to me. You know what I'm saying, Anxiety is a
real thing. Emotions are a real thing. Over stimulation is

(09:30):
a real thing, and it's something in most men's world
we don't fucking talk about. We don't speak about, we
don't fucking acknowledge. But once I started doing those things,
acknowledging them, realizing them, it's given me a lot more
control in my life. I don't have these these moments

(09:51):
where I'm just blindly upset or not enjoying my fucking day,
or enjoying my fucking time because I'm dwelling on some
bullshit that fucking happened that makes me upset. That's the
whole thing. That is absolutely the whole thing. It's understanding that,
you know what I'm saying. I value my fucking peace.

(10:13):
I valuable my If I value my fucking time. If
I go somewhere do something, it's because I want to.
And if I'm going where, going somewhere doing something and
all of a sudden I get upset, or all of
a sudden, I get overstimulated, or all of a sudden,
you know, I'm in a situation I don't like. I
can choose this day, I can choose to go, but
I always do what's best for me and what I
want to happen for the fucking day, you know, saying

(10:35):
sometimes you got to deal with shit. Sometimes you don't
have to deal with shit. But the main thing is
is choose the path that's going to help you. Because
once you can help yourself and once you can realize
what the fuck is going on, you can always keep
yourself into the situation that you fucking like. That's just
what it is, that that's It's something I had to

(10:57):
learn in my older fucking age, and something I always
like to teach. Is something I always like to talk about,
something that I always like to pass the fuck on
because it is that important, you know what I'm saying.
Men's mental health is always thrown or tossed around as
like some bullshit, or it's like it doesn't does, Men
don't need that. Men don't have that, And I guess

(11:17):
the fuck what, we do need it. We do have it,
and we also need to utilize it. It's so fucking important,
you know, Like we want to live a long, happy,
fucking life, and understanding and controlling and knowing all aspects
of your own fucking body and your own fucking mind

(11:39):
will help you enjoy those long lives. You know what
I'm saying. I never let anybody put my mental health
or my mental state into any kind of fucking question,
because those are the kind of people that don't give
a fuck about you. Those are the kind of people
who don't care about you. Those are the kind of
people who don't fucking, you know, help anybody. They're fucking negative,

(11:59):
They're a fuck a menace to society. They're the kind
of fucking people that treat people bad. That's just what
it is. Those are kind of people who don't need
in your life. And when they're not the kind of
people you need in your life, you don't need to
accept them, you don't need to talk to them, you
don't need to communicate with them. Guess what, you don't
need them in your fucking life. Those are the kind
of people you cut the fuck out. That's just what

(12:20):
it is. That's absolutely what it is. You know what
I'm saying. My circle is tight. But the reason is
is because guess what, I choose who's in it. I
choose who I share with, and I choose who I
open up to. It's something that we all have to do.
We don't have to be friends. We can always be acquaintances.
But at the same fucking time, if you're gonna make
me upset, you're gonna push my fucking buttons, or you're

(12:40):
not gonna acknowledge how my life is, then I don't
need to be around you because I don't deal with bullshit,
I don't deal with drama. I only take care of
my fucking self and I take care of those who
take care of me. That's a good fucking way to
live your fucking life in a way to really fucking
understand it. I'm just fucking saying. You know what I'm saying.

(13:00):
So understand your body, Understand who you fuck you are,
Understand what makes you fucking happy. But also to understand
that you need to protect your mental well being. You
need to detect your emotions. You need to protect your feelings,
and the way you protect them is by knowing what
they are, what the fuck's going on, how to acknowledge it,

(13:21):
and how to work with it. Make it to your advantage.
So guess the fuck what this danger motherfucking dad. You
want to watch my shit YouTube? You want us to
speak your sound claus ditchor Spotify, Google Play, Apple Podcasts,

can easily fucking find it, rate, review, like, subscribe, all

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.
