    A Embarrassing Quiz for Bethany & Could We Survive "The Outwaters?"

    A Embarrassing Quiz for Bethany & Could We Survive "The Outwaters?"

    It's been a pretty chill week literally until the day of this recording, when a biiiiiig conversation happened. How do you handle mental health issues with love and understanding? Then, Dennis simply mortifies Bethany by quizzing her on Urban Dictionary phrases she's never heard before. (She gets him back by quizzing him on her own area of expertise: The Renaissance Festival.) Finally, Bebe and Dennis recently saw the horror movie "The Outwaters" and talk through how they'd survive this bug-nuts situation together with only their wits (and the 3 knives Dennis apparently has strapped to his legs).

    Did Bethany Dream the Best Disaster Movie Ever? + Real Love: Expectations Vs. Reality

    Did Bethany Dream the Best Disaster Movie Ever? + Real Love: Expectations Vs. Reality

    Bethany had a dream. That dream was a fully-formed trailer for a disaster movie. That movie was called "HOOVER DAM." It is the best movie never made starring only Oscar winners.
    Plus, when you were younger, how did you picture Love? Was it huge and exciting and overwhelming? Is that how it turned out? Dennis and Bebe guess how each other's younger selves envisioned love compared to how it looks now. Spoiler alert: there's a LOT of flowing scarves and warrior women.

    Could We Be Gen Z Whisperers?

    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!

Obsessed.

They are relatable, real, inspirational and just generally pleasing to listen to. If you are looking for a pod cast about life and real things with two awesome people this is the one. I absolutely love them both. Just listen and you’ll understand why they’re a 5 star rating.

Awesome Podcast!

Love being able to continue to follow Bethany through all of her different phases. I’ve become a big fan of Dennis as well and am so glad they started this endeavor just as AT is beginning it’s last season.

Laugh and learn

I’ve started listening to early Acquired Taste right around when Bethany and Dennis met, and now I have a well-established parasocial relationship with the both of them!
You can laugh or commiserate with B&D while they figure out how to grow together. Once their tv show is picked up we’ll be able to say we were fans WHEN
