Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's six point fifty. Robert Fernaro will be here in
about fifteen minutes. You know him from Sopranos. Yes, he
has a cookbook out. He's in the green room. We'll
bring him in here around seven oh five. So, yeah,
I mentioned the green room, maybe the red room, maybe
the what are we going to die our rooms? Because
Easter's coming in? That's right, trying to dye some eggs.
But you really can't use real eggs right, Well, you could,

(00:22):
but it's expensive.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
They're very expensive, a little hard to come by. Sometimes
I'm seeing them in the stores. I think prices are
coming down just a little little bit. But if you
don't want to dye Easter eggs, and you check out Instagram, TikTok,
moms are coming up with different ways ways to work
around it. They are dying potatoes onions. And then there's

(00:46):
one lady who's with Christopher Easter eggs, yeah, who's had
a lot of success with marshmallows. She got the big
fluffy marshmallows and she's dying those.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
It's not the same.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
That's a horrible idea.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
I'm sorry it is.

Speaker 3 (01:02):
My kids are not gonna want to die the marshmallows.
They're to eat the marshmallows right right, too much sugar.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
I mean, I get it, you got to save some money.
But anyway, I so onions though, onions potatoes.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
That's like, I don't know, do we just like skip
it past, go to the next I know, the marshmallows, Kristin,
I know you don't want your kids to eat them,
but they actually looked the nicest, like out of these choices,
at least the marshmallows held the dye and looked pretty.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
You know, it makes the most sense, right because normally
you put them on display. I don't need a you know,
a pink onion, you know, on my kitchen table.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
I don't know, it's ye.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
You could dye peeps. Well they already come colored.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
Well they're already in the marshmallow. They're already there.

Speaker 3 (01:46):
There you go there, sugar.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
Do peeps make it into your house?

Speaker 3 (01:50):
No? No, no, we don't do peeps.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
No.

Speaker 3 (01:53):
I just you know, when I give my kids sugar,
it's I lose. It's not fun anymore.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
And you know how people are really split on peeps.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
Or hate, and people say the right thing to do
is making it a stale Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
The men.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
You eat them, that's when they're at their best.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
I don't know. It just feels like there's a tradition
to them for me, not that I eat them, but
like I'll get them just because they're there for Easter, right,
and then they don't get eaten.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
Well, give us your thoughts on text, and you could
text us four fourth three six three. But yeah, anything
other than eggs, dyeing a potato or an onion, I
don't get it, but maybe you do.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
Or the marshmallow
