An Acquired Taste Podcast

Need a lighthearted episode to get you through your holiday stress? This is the episode for you!

Hey, Young Ones! Do you feel like the grown-ups around you just don't understand your language? Don't worry. Your internet aunt and uncle are going through the Youth of Today Lexicon and teaching each other the most important phrases that Gen Z is using. Then, Bebe and Dennis each come up with their own slang phrases that English is sorely lacking. Plus, a new game you can play over the holidays or with your coworkers as a team building exercise!

Instead of our regular loosey-goosey bonus, we're sharing a brand new episode of Kathleen's new podcast "Kathleen Can Do It" with her DIY partner in crime, Kathleen Martin. (Yes, they are both named Kathleen.) The Kathleens are breaking down how to give your bathroom a refresh without any major renovations. It is possible to feel like you have a new room without lifting a single hammer or paintbrush, we promise!

This week, Dennis and Beebs discuss huge lessons they both learned about themselves over Thanksgiving, they read two incredible emails from you, and Bebe's eye are blasted wide open when Dennis explains how he wakes up in the morning. (Does your brain work like Dennis' or are you just as floored as Bethany was?)

Plus, Dennis and Listener Tonia have a theory as to why Bethany's AI portraits turned out SO. SO. AWFUL.

We’ve all been ghosted in relationships, but have you ever been breadcrumbed? (Or, if you’re like Kathleen and Bethany, are you breadcrumbing by accident?) Kathleen gives the definition of the term and why we should be on the lookout for it in our relationships! Then, Bethany is going through some more spooky rituals and games that may or may not result in a woman inside a mirror pressing her hands against the glass and staring you down. DON’T BREAK EYE CONTACT OR YOU’LL HAVE TO MOVE. Plus, Kathleen is not interested in Bethany’s weird gift suggestions.

Happy Engagement Season! Kathleen’s coming in with hard facts about lab-grown diamonds. Are they better for the environment? Are diamonds made in a lab REAL diamonds? And can Bethany get a diamond grown in the shape of her face? Then, Bethany is going through some spooky rituals and games that you can play alone, with friends & family, and even THE OTHER SIDE (bwahahaha). Get ready to evacuate your apartment building! Plus, what’s the real difference between a psychopath, a sociopath, and a cat?

Are you still stuffed with turkey? Well, grab some more food because Kathleen just learned about an awesome idea for the upcoming winter months. Then, a bunch of you let us know the pettiest things you’ve ever done and we bask in the glory of your misdeeds. Kathleen's Mom makes a special guest appearance as well and we learn something very disturbing about her underwear.

The holidays are officially happening, but don’t panic!

It’s almost here: that Thursday in November where we gather together, give thanks, and dodge invasive questions about our love life and rude insinuations about our political beliefs. To help cope, Kathleen has some comebacks you can have in your back pocket when Aunt Helen has tee many martoonies. Then, Bethany is fascinated by people predicting the end of the world, and there’s something kind of comforting about knowing it’s been going on since the year 66. She runs down some of the best doomsday predictions. Plus, Kathleen has sort of already committed a Thanksgiving faux-pas and her mom is probably going to be mad….
