Easter Candy

About this episode

In these divisive times, the one thing we can all agree on is that once a year a giant anthropomorphic bunny comes into our homes and leaves us baskets full of candy. This week, as we await the arrival of the Easter Bunny, a guy whose deal we don't entirely get, we're talking all about that candy.
