An Acquired Taste Podcast

NSFW!!!! This is, perhaps, the dirtiest episode we've ever done

Don't listen around children, or your boss, or your Grandma. Unless she's one of those fun kind of Grandmas who like filthy jokes, curse words, and a good time. Then, you should for sure, listen with her.

It's time again to check in, baby! Bethany and Dennis have a new segment that made them laugh harder than they've laughed in a long time. After going over how they did this week, they debut:  Little Bethany's Recipes! Bethany shares actual recipes she used to make as a small child. (Take your Lactaid because DAIRY.) Then, they discuss something they think is actually pretty common that people don't seem to talk a lot about: if you're a woman in a relationship, do you ever feel like your partner's mom??

Kathleen's teeth are so shiny! She’s the brand new owner of some sparkly Invisalign and has the emoji smile to prove it. Luckily, her retainer is small so it won’t take up too much space in her theoretical vacation bags. And according to her topic, one woman traveled for 3 weeks with only a messenger bag and you can, too! Kathleen shares this woman’s secrets. And Bethany has noticed herself using pretty negative self-talk, so she’s taking the advice of a pair of siblings who know how to gain confidence by changing the way we speak.

What We Talked About:

13:33 - Sound and feel more confident by changing your language.
41:45 -  How to be a succinct vacation packer.

In the 1930s, a luxurious passenger shipwrecked at Asbury Park. Only 6 lifeboats were deployed, the captain died the night before, and a suspicious fire ended up spreading throughout the entire ship. Was it a horrible accident, or the work of one man and a government cover-up? Bethany covers the crazy story of the S. S. Morro Castle. Then, we’re not beating around the bush! English isn’t the only language that has bizarre idioms that don’t always make sense, and Kathleen is sharing some of the strangest from countries near and far. Plus, Kathleen has discovered a new way you can shade your friends using technology. (Her mom’s doing it already!)

We have a special Halloween bonus episode of scary stories submitted by listeners! What's in the corner of your bedroom? NOTHING GOOD. What's that shuffling noise? NOTHING GOOD. What happens when you insult Grandma? NOTHING GOOD.
Happy Thin Veil Day, Y'all! 

An Acquired Taste has a new bonus podcast! The Check-In is where Bethany and Dennis discuss their relationship, how they manage dating AND working together, and just generally make fun of each other in public. The Check-In comes out twice a month, right here on your Acquired Taste feed! Email us: [email protected]!

Dennis and Bethany had their very first houseguests, and Bebe has a strange reason for thinking they were subpar hosts. 

Then, Bethany asks Dennis to decide how he would handle different horror movie scenarios and whether or not he would be the "final girl." (Could YOU survive "The Shining"? How about "Misery"? Or "Grave Encounters" and a shifting building layout?

Finally, Bebe found a super interesting article about the 7 "creepy" questions you should ask a partner to see if their dark side is normal or kiiiiiiiind of a problem. How would you respond to these questions?

Kathleen’s feeling insecure about her white eyeshadow so she goes off on the 50 states. (Just wait. It’ll make sense.)
