1
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 1: Hey, this is Annie and Smith. I'm open to stuff.

2
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: I never told you, production I heard you, and today

3
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,479
Speaker 1: we are bringing back a classic happy hour that we

4
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: did on Easter because despite the fact that I completely

5
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 1: forgot it, this is Easter weekend, as.

6
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 2: It comes out, this was early.

7
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:41,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, well I feel like it was late. So that's interesting. Yeah,

8
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 1: it lands all over the place. I do have. I

9
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 1: don't really do anything special for Easter anymore, but I

10
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: make like a spring meal. I make a bright spring meal.

11
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 2: You don't do the hunt anymore when your mom gives

12
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 2: you all the.

13
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: Money, Yes, I don't. And so that's you know. Not

14
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: only is this time, but one of the reasons I

15
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 1: wanted to bring this up is as discussed in this episode.

16
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: I loved that. Yeah, I was jealous. But it's funny

17
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 1: to me how many people tease me about that to

18
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 1: this day, Like I still get messages about not just

19
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: like the money aspect that I got money from Easter

20
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: ec hunting, but just that I did it so long

21
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,759
Speaker 1: into adulthood, Like I've already gotten like four or five

22
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: messages teasing me.

23
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 2: About was jealous.

24
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: It was so fun everybody was jealous. Yeah, I'm not

25
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 1: mad about it. It's just kind of funny that I

26
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: somehow have cemented that in people's minds, where every year

27
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: this time rolls around and I get these messages, just

28
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 1: you know, fun teasing amongst friends.

29
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 2: Your mom was truly a great Easter bunny. She was

30
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 2: she really it is.

31
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: Yes, she really put a lot of time into it,

32
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: a lot of effort, and it was fun. I have

33
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: a lot of fond memories of it, and I definitely

34
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: I need to contact her. I need to talk to

35
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: her because I miss her. I was thinking about this.

36
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, that was so sweet. Yeah. So listeners,

52
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: Nice nice I've got a bit of a hot toddy situation.

53
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: I had a bit of a late night that I'll

54
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: talk about a future episode. And so last night it

55
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: slept really hard, and you know that feeling when you

56
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: sleep really hard and you actually wake up kind of

57
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: like disoriented. Yeah, yeah, so I'm kind of like my

58
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: throat was a little I think I was breathing very deeply. Ah,

59
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: but it was a very nice sleep, but I was

60
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: just kind of this morning a little whoa. But Okay,

61
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: as we're recording this, it is tax Day.

62
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 2: It is tax Day, it is tax stay.

63
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: But it's also coming up on Easter. So I mean,

64
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: Samantha and I have made it clear we're not very

65
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: religious currently, but I did grow up in a religious household,

66
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: so I just kind of wanted to talk about some

67
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: of the things that I my family used to do

68
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 1: for Easter. I did try to look into usually when

69
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: we do these holiday based episodes, I can find several

70
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 1: articles about women who are like, why are you making

71
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: me get make an Easter basket? So I did look

72
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 1: into that. But Samantha, did you have any do you

73
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: have any foods that you associate with Easter or any

74
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: memories that you have?

75
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 3: So one thing specific that I would always get growing up.

76
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 3: I was an odd child that did not love chocolate chocolate.

77
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 3: So the one thing I did like, though, was white

78
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 3: chocolate oddly enough, which is super sweet in comparison to

79
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 3: but my so my growing up, I always got white

80
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 3: chocolate Easter bunnies. My mother made sure to have that.

81
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 3: My dad loves dying eggs, so we would do that

82
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,119
Speaker 3: even when fighting, so we would have tons of boiled eggs.

83
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 3: We would have tons of boiled eggs. We're not actually

84
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 3: doing that this year. I was told by my family

85
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 3: that they weren't do that because there's no children. But

86
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 3: I'm also wonder roof is the egg crices, which would

87
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,479
Speaker 3: make me laugh hysterically. If you know my family, you

88
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 3: know the you know like that. But I don't think

89
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 3: that's it, But I mean maybe I could be, it

90
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 3: could be. But all of that to say is that's

91
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 3: the biggest memory. Also that I would always get a

92
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:32,679
Speaker 3: book and it was usually the old school Nancy Drew.

93
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 2: Or Hardy Boy books that I would get at Easter.

94
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 3: I don't know why I remember that, but I remember

95
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 3: eating bits and I would save it for like months

96
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,359
Speaker 3: of my white chocolate Easter Bunny while reading my new book.

97
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:43,799
Speaker 2: So that's something I do remember.

98
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 3: What about you?

99
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 1: That's nice? Food wise? We had We always had ham.

100
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is an Easter favorite.

101
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,559
Speaker 1: Deviled eggs, which I know you don't like, but whold

102
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: host of the show Caroline loves them.

103
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 3: Right, favorite she has and she is so Southern and

104
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 3: loves it so much. She has a specialized egg egg dish. Yes, yes,

105
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 3: and my mother did too. My mother has several, the

106
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 3: fancy version and then the tupperware version so you can

107
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 3: travel with it.

108
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, my mom did have that too. I forgot about that.

109
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: Those were the two go tos, and then usually like

110
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 1: peas or asparagus. I've said it before. I was never

111
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 1: a big candy person, so I'd usually get the candy

112
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: and trade it for something. But my mom would make

113
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: she'd make these cupcakes that had like the green coconut

114
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: grass on top and then like the pastel m and

115
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: ms as eggs, and I loved those for some reason.

116
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 2: Probably could memory. I just saw edible grass yesterday and

117
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 2: I was like, what is what is this?

118
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 1: Why?

119
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 2: Why is this? Why is this a thing?

120
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,039
Speaker 3: Because you know, you have the Easter basket and that

121
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 3: has the grass and all that, and that's exactly what

122
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 3: it looks like.

123
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 2: But apparently it's edible.

124
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 3: I guess maybe you put it on like food stuff

125
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 3: as well, like if you do a specialized cake that

126
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 3: you want to be over the top because it's not

127
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 3: the coconut thing I've seen for years that that is

128
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 3: gin eggs Boomer tradition, but like the edible grass is

129
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 3: new to me, so I'm very I'm like, do they

130
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 3: put this in the basket and tell you to eat

131
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 3: that too?

132
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: I have questions.

133
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 3: I have questions, but I will also want to add

134
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 3: my mother used to make like the fancy fancy baskets

135
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 3: for people to have, like care package baskets, so I

136
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 3: have baskets were very pretty.

137
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: The baskets can be very pretty. My family only did

138
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: that once and then we found them before we were

139
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: supposed to find them, and they got mad and so

140
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: they never did it again, which is fair. I don't understood.

141
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 2: Take it back. That's what they say about Santa Claus too.

142
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 1: Which, by the way, I never believed in the Easter Bunny.

143
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: I believed in Santa Claus for an embarrassing amount of time,

144
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: but I've never worked. But anyway, I was a very

145
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: competitive egg hunter. That was my favorite thing, and to

146
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: the point they put in rules specifically for me where

147
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: I couldn't I had to they everyone else got a

148
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: head start.

149
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, did you have to sit back?

150
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 2: Like five minutes?

151
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: We had like gold eggs and I was only allowed

152
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: to find one. It was so frustrating, that's me. There's

153
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: a picture where I'm like glaring. I obviously can see it,

154
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 1: and I can't get it. I was so mad. But

155
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: that was my favorite part of Easter. I loved it.

156
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 1: But I can only imagine, like how much work that

157
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: was for my mom to put all the stuff in

158
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 1: there and then hind the eggs and put that together

159
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: for us. Something else I found out is a Southern

160
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: tradition which completely makes sense to me when I read

161
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: about it. Is the whole Easter dress thing.

162
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 2: I was always Southern. Yeah, I could see that.

163
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, my family, my grandmother sometimes would take me out

164
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: to get an Easter dress. I hated it because I

165
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: was so insecure with my body. But I did like

166
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 1: the getting of the dress. But you know, as an adult,

167
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: I definitely don't do it. I haven't. She was like

168
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: the person that did that for me, no one else.

169
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: But I learned it was a Southern thing, like women

170
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: in the Easter the past dress.

171
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 3: The families have to match. Like for my sister specifically,

172
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 3: she did that. My parents did too. Don't get me wrong,

173
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 3: because it was Easter Sunday. You go to service, you

174
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 3: have that dress. Everything is in pastels. I remember all

175
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 3: of my past not all of them.

176
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:41,199
Speaker 2: But some of the pastel dresses.

177
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 3: But like, yeah, having that perfect picture on Easter Sunday

178
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 3: with your basket.

179
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, I have one. If we still, if we

180
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 1: still posted on social media, I have a picture of

181
00:09:54,080 --> 00:10:00,559
Speaker 1: my family that is exactly that. All the kids look

182
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 1: semi miserable and I'm looking at the eggs. I'm already

183
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: like where are they? But I did enjoy it, you know.

184
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:12,839
Speaker 1: The sad thing is like during the pandemic, my mom,

185
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 1: that was one of the things we tried to do is.

186
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: We tried to get together for Easter because I love

187
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 1: she would still put on the Easter egg hunts for me.

188
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 3: The amount of money you met, you you got all

189
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,839
Speaker 3: those Easter egg hunts. I was like, okay, first of all,

190
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 3: we only got candy, but we got more real eggs

191
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 3: than anything else.

192
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: We'd rake it in man. But that's why the golden

193
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: egg was so it had twenty bucks in it. Yeah. Also,

194
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:41,079
Speaker 1: I remembered that was one of the final death knells

195
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: of me and my ex boyfriend, as we were dying

196
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: Easter eggs together with my mom and my mom was like,

197
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: don't you have a crush on this other guy? And

198
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: I was like, mom, and he left her business on

199
00:10:53,440 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: star did he left? He was my ride and he left? Okay, Oh,

200
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 1: he doesn't care.

201
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 2: That relationship was over. V left one of your mom.

202
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 1: It was quite the thing. These days, I don't go

203
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: home for Easter anymore, but I do make Usually it's

204
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:16,719
Speaker 1: more of a Spring thing than an Easter thing. But

205
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,959
Speaker 1: I make like a spring pasta or something like, something

206
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: very bright. So that's what I'm planning on doing this year.

207
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 1: But I do have a lot of fund memories with it,
