Teeg just got invited onto the Mossy Oak Fishing Pro Staff, and we open the show talking about where our clothes come from. Teeg wears almost exclusively clothes-that-were-given-to-him. Michelle made it through maternity on hand-me-overs from other moms. Ryan’s style is shorts, T-shirts & flip flops, and he kinda has to buy them.

It’s a shelter-in-place Easter, and we’re talking about how we’re planning our Easters at home.

Brother Ben lives in Stuart, Iowa – kinda in the middle of the state. He lives in a turn of the century church, and he describes it as, “the house in Fight Club.” It’s a project that never ends.

Ben and Teeg look similar, and Ben famously has a big bushy beard … which he just shaved. It’s weird in the livestream. Imagine if the guys from ZZ Top or Duck Dynasty shaved their beards. Teeg & Ben’s Dad couldn’t recognize him in a picture.

When Ben bought the church, it had been vacant for 10-12 years. Dead birds, waterfall inside the building when it rained, stuff like that. But the building had stood in the town for over 100 years so everyone in town has some kind of connection to it, and they felt like it was an important structure to save. Best finds: old church literature, old advertisements, little bells – and bats that lived in the walls.

There was a giant bell up in the bell tower, and the bell tower had gotten pretty rotten. He got help lifting it out of there with a telehandler and put it in his front yard – but he took out the clapper so that every kid walking by wouldn’t ring it and wake them up all the time.

Part of living in a church is that sometimes homeless people stop by looking for a place to stay.

Teeg,”So do you put ‘em up?”

Ben, “W’shure! There’s one that’s still living here!”

(No, not really, they gently send them on their way.)

Ryan loaded our envelopes with easter grass, which is basically like opening an envelope full of glitter. But Ryan was trying to make up for Teeg not getting Easter baskets after killing the Easter Bunny.

Bonus snack: Krabby Patty’s Gummy Burgers inside an Egg.

Real Snack #1 in the All-Egg Episode is the Reese’s Egg. Nothing fancy about it, it’s just an Easter Classic. This one is truly egg shaped, and not their flat egg. This is kind of a step up. Ryan has to pick Reese’s because it’s his favorite. More peanut butter than chocolate in this Reese’s treat. Michelle: “There’s so much more to it when it’s round.” Brother Ben: “It’s what you’d expect. I like it.”

We revisit the despicable Brach’s Easter Eggs from the week prior. They taste like sugar dipped in something made by Monsanto. Ryan tries to defend them, inexplicably.

This week’s a CVS-specialty, mask-on, Easter Aisle picks. Michelle has a newborn, so she hasn’t been out of the house, and she misses the Easter Candy Aisle. Teeg awaits the day that it all goes to 70% off.

Ben & Teeg lived across the street from Bernie’s Depot, which later became Scott’s Shoppe. Bernie was a crabby old man who was suspicious of all the kids. Scott was a real real nice guy, but he had a firm policy on can returns, which is how Ben & Teeg earned all their candy money.

Ben & Teeg would get the Garbage Pail Kids there, but the candy ranged from nickel candy up to the fancy stuff, like the giant gummy rat.

Ben & Teeg would ride up and down the alleys collecting cans on their bikes. Different times. Their co-conspirators were the Bradley kids next door. 9 kids. Greg was the naughty one, and he’d always have can getting schemes that were definitely stealing.

Candy #2 – the extremely popular, classic Cadbury Crème Egg. Started in the 1920’s. Somehow they made the shipment without being crushed. The very best thing you could get in your basket at Easter. The only sad thing is that they seem to have gotten smaller.

Brother Ben was always into cool stuff, like rebuilding VW Beetles and ripping around town in go-karts. One of his buddies had a long flowing mullet, and that poor kid’s hair got sucked right into the motor one day and a random stranger had to cut him free with a rusty old pocket knife.

Anyway, Ben got a fascination with the failures of the major auto manufacturers. He had a Chevy Vega that was really nice, but one of Chevy’s worst cars ever. He had a Ford Pinto, a Plymouth Horizon, which is like a Dodge Omni. They had a Ford Grenada, which is an old dog of a grandma car. They’re all disposable cars, but fun thing about it is that everybody has a story from when they once had one. Michelle shares hers – her first car, that she saved on its way to the junk yard, and slapped in a $35 Pamida car stereo.

Teeg’s favorite story is when Ben had to deal with the wastewater. The effluent. The outcome of “when we flush the toilet.” There are a lot of stories, this one is suitable for a show where we’re gonna eat chocolate.

“Just your run of the mill sink hole.” Rick fell here.

Candy #3 – Whopper’s Mini Robin Eggs. Lucky us! Nothing fancy, but it’s a “taste worth tweeting about.” We all love crunching them up. Ryan’s observation: every once in a while you get one that’s weirdly chewy and like, not ripe. Like a sunflower seed that a worm got into.
