  Speaker 3: Are you sitting on anything, Samantha.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: I am all my bubble water strawberry watermelon, A.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Nice nice I've got a bit of a hot toddy situation.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: I had a bit of a late night that I'll
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: talk about a future episode. And so last night I
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: slept really hard, and you know that feeling when you
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: sleep for the hard and you actually wake up kind
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: of like disoriented. Yeah, yeah, so I'm kind of like
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: my throat was a little I think I was breathing
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: very deeply. Ah, but it was a very nice sleep,
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: but I was just kind of this morning a little whoa.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: But Okay, as we're recording this, it is tax day.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: It is tax Day.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: It is tax Day, but it's also coming up on Easter.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: So I mean, Samantha and I have made it clear
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: we're not very religious currently, but I did grow up
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: in a religious household, so I just kind of wanted
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: to talk about some of the things that I my
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: family used to do for Easter. I did try to
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: look into Usually when we do these holiday based episodes,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: I can find several articles about women who are like,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: why are you making me get making Easter basket? So
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: I did look into that. But Samantha, did you have
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: any do you have any like foods that you were
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: so stay with Easter, or any memories that you have?
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: So one thing specific that I would always get growing up.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: I was an odd child that did not love chocolate chocolate.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: So the one thing I did like though, was white
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: chocolate oddly enough, which is super sweet in comparison to
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: but my so my growing up, I always got white
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: chocolate Easter bunnies. My mother made sure to have that.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: My dad loves dying eggs, so we would do that
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: even when fighting, so we would have tons of boiled eggs.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: We would have tons of boiled eggs. We're not actually
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: doing that this year. I was told by my family
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: that they weren't do that because there's no children. But
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: I'm also wondering if it is the egg crisis, which
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: would make me laugh hysterically if you know my family,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: you know the you know like that. But I don't
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: think that's it. But I mean maybe I could be,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: It could be. But all of that to say is
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: that's the biggest memory. Also that I would always get
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: a book, and it was usually the old school Nancy
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Drew or Hardy.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: Boy books that I would get at Easter.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: I don't know why. I remember that. I remember eating
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: bits and I would save it for like months of
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: my white chocolate Easter Bunny while reading my new book.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: So that's something I do remember. What about you?
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: That's nice? Food wise? We had We always had ham.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that is an Easter favorite.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Deviled eggs, which I know you don't like, but hold
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: host of the show Caroline loves them, right.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Favorite she has. She is so Southern and loves it
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: so much. She has a specialized egg shelled egg dish. Yes, yes,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: and my mother did too. My mother has several the
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: fancy version and then the tupperware version so you can
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: travel with it.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, my mom did have that too. I forgot about that.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Those were the two go tos, and then usually like
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: peas or asparagus. I've said it before. I was never
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: a big candy person, so I'd usually get the candy
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: and trade it for something. But my mom would make uh,
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: she'd make these cupcakes that had like the green coconut
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: grass on tap and then the pastel M and ms
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: as eggs, and I loved though for some reason.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Probably could be memory. I just saw edible grass yesterday
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: and I was like, what is what is this?
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: Why?
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Why is this?
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: Why is this?
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Why is this a thing? Because you know, you have
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: the Easter basket and that has the grass and all that,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: and that's exactly what it looks like. But apparently it's edible.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: I guess maybe you put it on like food stuff
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: as well, like if you do a specialized cake that
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: you want to be over the top because it's not
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: the coconut thing. I've seen for years that that is
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: gin eggs Boomer tradition, but like the edible grass is
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: new to me, so I'm very like, I'm like, do
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: they put this in the basket and tell you to
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: eat that too?
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: I'm I have questions I have questions.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: But I will also want to add my mother used
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: to make like the fancy, fancy baskets for people to have,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: like care package baskets, so I have baskets were very pretty.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: The baskets can be very pretty. My family only did
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: that once and then we found them before we were
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: supposed to find them, and they got mad, and so
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: they never did it again, which is fair. I don't understood,
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: and take it back.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: That's what they say about Santa Claus too, which.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: By the way, I never believed in the Easter Bunny.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: I believed in Santa Claus were an embarrassing amount of time,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: but I never lived in. But anyway, I was a
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: very competitive egg hunter. That was my favorite thing, and
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: to the point they put in rules specifically for me
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: where I couldn't I had to they everyone else got
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: a head start.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: I was gonna say, did you have to sit back?
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Like five minutes?
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: We had like gold eggs and I was only allowed
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: to find one. It was so frustrating. That's me. There's
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: a picture where I'm like glaring. I obviously can see
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: it and I can't get it. I was so mad.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: But that was my favorite part of Easter.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: I loved it, but I can only imagine, like how
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: much work that was for my mom to put all
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: all the stuff in there and then hide the eggs
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: and put that together for us. Something else I found
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: out is a Southern tradition which completely makes sense to
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: me when I read about it. Is the whole Easter
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: dress thing.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: I was always Southern. Yeah, I could see that.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, my family, my grandmother sometimes would take me out
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: to get an Easter dress. I hated it because I
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: was so insecure with my body. But I did like
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: the getting of the dress.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: But you know, as an adult, I definitely don't do it.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: I haven't.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: She was like the person that did that for me,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: no one else. But I learned it was a Southern thing.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Like women in the Easter the pastor dress.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: The families have to match. Like for my sister specifically,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: she did that. My parents did too. Don't get me wrong,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: because it was Easter Sunday. You go to service, you
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: have that dress. Everything is in pastels. I remember all
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: of my past not all of them, but some of
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: the pastel dresses. But like, yeah, having that perfect picture
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: on Easter with your basket.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, I have one. Still if we still posted
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: on social media. I have a picture of my family.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: That is exactly that.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: All the kids look semi miserable, and I'm looking at
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: the eggs. I'm already like where are they? But I
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: did enjoy it, you know. The sad thing is like
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: during the pandemic, my mom, that was one of the
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: things we tried to do is we tried to get
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: together for Easter because I love she would still put
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: on the Easter egg hunts for me.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: The amount of money you met, you you got all
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: those Easter egg hunts. I was like, okay, first of all,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: we only got candy, but we got more real eggs
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: than anything else.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: We'd rake it in man. But that's why the golden
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: egg was so it had twenty bucks in it.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Also, I remembered that was one of the final death
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: knells of me and my ex boyfriend, as we were
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: dying Easter eggs together with my mom, and my mom
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: was like, don't you have a crush on this other guy?
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: And I was like, mom and he left business star
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: she did. He left. He was my ride and he left.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Okay, didn't care that relationship was over one of your mom.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: It was quite the thing.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: These days, I don't go home for Easter anymore, but
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: I do make Usually it's more of a spring thing
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: than an Easter thing, but I make like a spring
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: pasta or something like, something very bright. So that's what
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: I'm planning on doing this year. But I do have
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: a lot of fun memories with it, especially the Easter
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: a hunting that was my favorite. So I would be
