Early on in my relationship, I spent Easter with my deeply religious in-laws. Lunchtime came, and my innocent secular ass asked, "What's up with the poodle cake?" Dear reader, the cake was supposed to look like a lamb. So, from now on we have "poodle cake" every Easter, and I'll never hear the end of it.

I'm surprised Adam didn't explicitly mention the Scapegoat - another biblical reference - when he got so very close to it right there at the end talking about the sacrificial lamb.

Semi-retirement Ragusea has some of the most refreshing content I've seen in months

Big shout out to Jesus for taking one for the team!

Adam needs a fireplace so he can go "oh hey. Didnt see you there"

Ragusea starting with a Bible verse was unexpected

Speaking as someone who was brought up on a farm with a lot of sheep, I was told from early in my life that "The good Lord in his wisdom and mercy giveth us lambs half of which are female and half of which are male, but the males have no commercial value." The females do have commercial value as they can produce more lambs next year and can produce milk and cheese too. To feed the males is costly, not to mention that rams (tups) get very aggressive as they mature into adolescence - as I can vouch for. Therefore, it makes perfect economic sense to "re-cycle" the young males in Spring when there is a glut of them. Sorry about this, but it is a reality of farming that has been known about for millenia.

Why does mother nature make it that the cuter it is, the more delicious it tastes?

New Adam variant unlocked: Pastor Ragusea

8:34 when you said "The main reason I'm going to roast some lamb on Sunday is..." my brain followed it up with Chaim Topol belting out "TRADITIOOOOOOOON!" which felt fitting, given the topic.

Just an aside. Farmer's daughter. Remembering the ritual of docking lamb's tails (for their health). Which also meant the ritual campfire cooked lamb's tails. Putting aside the area the tail is located next too (I mean we eat chicken eggs soooo...) - lamb's tails = delicious.

I swear Adam is the master of sneaky sponsor transitions.

SCREW THE LAMBS, ADAM WHERE DID YOU GET THAT COMFY LOOKING CHAIR

The videos are only getting more wonderful since semi-retirement, Adam! Love everything you do!

My family is Christian and Greek, but for some reason we’ve always done ham for Easter! Which is a bummer because lamb is my favorite meat. (We also do Greek Easter separately from Easter)

nothing like starting the video with adam ragusea reading a bible verse with his dawgs im the frame

Adam, you never fail to surprise me with the sponsor and often leave me disappointed with myself for not seeing it coming.

I'm tellin ya. The retirement was a ruse! 😂

As a Christian, I just wanted to thank you, Adam, for the care, respect, and overall accuracy of this video!!
