An Acquired Taste Podcast

Ok, Tastebuds, it’s time to learn how to protect yourself in case you wake up to a bright light shining through your window and tiny greys trying to paralyze your brain. (It probably won’t happen, but you never know!) Then, Kathleen is re-visiting a topic she covered earlier: revenge bedtime. You may be doing it without even realizing!  —— What We Talked About: 14:45 - Revenge Bedtime 40:09 - Alien Attacks ——— Check out our merch!:  https://store.dftba.com/collections/an-acquired-taste-podcast  ——— BETHANY’S SOURCES: BOOK: “How to Defend Yourself Against Alien Abduction,” Ann Druffel https://bookshop.org/books/how-to-defend-yourself-against-alien-abduction/9780609802632 KATHLEEN’S SOURCES: https://www.webmd.com/sleep-disorders/revenge-bedtime-procrastination https://www.verywellmind.com/what-is-revenge-bedtime-procrastination-5189591 https://www.npr.org/2022/06/14/1105122521/stop-revenge-bedtime-procrastination-get-better-sleep https://www.sleepfoundation.org/sleep-hygiene/revenge-bedtime-procrastination

Kathleen has a bone to pick with Bethany: Bebe’s wasting too much money on researching whether or not people have died in various houses! So naturally, the duo run three more death reports. Plus, lamenting empty coffee cups and an explosion of love for Patio Chips and bad bad pizza. ------ PATREON Dates in June: July 26th - Live Show @ 7:30 PM ET July 31st - Book Club @ 10:30 AM ET August 3rd - Study Buds @ 1 PM ET August 9th - Live Show @ 7:30 PM ET August 29th - Live Show @ 7:30 PM ET Sign up at www.patreon.com/acquiredtaste ——— Check out our merch!:  https://store.dftba.com/collections/an-acquired-taste-podcast  ——— Please support the companies that support us!  Penrose Hill - Sign up today and you’ll get your first 6 bottles for $39.95 plus free shipping!

STOP what you’re doing and back away from that vaginal steamer! Kathleen wants to keep your insides *and* your outsides (front to back) safe from the crazy wellness trends that most of us are guilty of buying into. *cough* Apple Cider Vinegar *cough*.

It's a family reunion because Bethany, Kathleen, and Dennis are in the same room for the first time since 2020! Somehow everyone ends up talking about the bad things they did as teens. Dennis thinks he's sandwiched between two goody two shoes. Bethany had a high-stakes run-in at Rick's Castle Foods. Kathleen reveals why she didn't get into Fordham. AND... Bethany is still mad about an apple she didn't get the chance to eat in 1997. ——— PATREON Dates in June: June 29th  - Live Show @ 7:30 PM ET July 6th - Study Buds @ 2:00 PM ET July 12th - Live Show @ 7:30 PM ET July 26th - Live Show @ 7:30 PM ET Sign up at www.patreon.com/acquiredtaste ——— Check out our merch!:  https://store.dftba.com/collections/an-acquired-taste-podcast  ——— Please support the companies that support us!  NextEvo Naturals - Stop wondering if CBD is right for you!

Get your powdered wigs on! It’s time to judge some people on the internet. Kathleen is bringing back a favorite and having Bethany (and special guest Dennis!) weigh in on Redditors who are wondering if they’re in the right or wrong. (Who knew driveways get could so heated??) Then, Bethany is telling her absolute favorite strange story about a mysterious European man who showed up in a Tokyo airport, claiming to be from a country that didn’t exist.

Welp, that cements it. The robots are rising sooner than we anticipated, thanks to some ill-advised scientists figuring out how to grow real human skin on a robot finger. Kathleen has that story - and why boy bands and frogs have more in common than you thought - on her weird science rundown! Bethany covers why streaming services like Netflix and HBO Max are canceling awesome shows after only a year or two, and she goes through some that should have been canceled waaaaaaay before they were.
