This is The Breadfruit Juice Show and we're a weekly, Caribbean-flavored morning talk show. We like to have fun and keep it light, and you can find us discussing anything from why there are so many holidays on the calendar (National Donut Day, anyone?) to Alien Hand Syndrome. That's a real thing, I…

Caribbean customer service is a nightmare. You think you’ve had awful reps? How about that bartender who couldn’t care less about getting your drink right? Or that lady behind the counter at the food spot who’s pissed at YOU because you’re just trying to get some food? We’ll share a few experiences and even show you what it’s like on the other side of the phone. Get ready to dial ‘0’ for a live rep. We just hope you don’t regret it. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/breadfruitjuice/support

Whip out your cape and cowl because on today's episode, we're ranking our top (5) MCU movies. We discuss terrible excuses for films that should be ashamed of themselves on Shame Bench.

Why were we obsessed with R-rated movies? Today, we discuss our first forays into grown-up movie territory and share some stories about our first experiences. Whether we were exposed to restricted movies due to questionable parenting skills, or whether we were just kids behaving badly after Bible camp and capitalizing on opportunities, we delve into the psychology of why we were so obsessed with guns, violence, explosions and boobs. What were some of your first R-rated experiences? Share with us in the comment section or on Twitter @breadfruitshow and @breadfruitace. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/breadfruitjuice/support

People all around the world have asked this question for ages: are we alone out here? Could there be life on other planets, or even worlds similar enough to ours to make it a possibility?

On today’s episode, we speculate about the possibility of life on other worlds, and share stories of other’s experience with the otherworldly. The truth is out there … somewhere. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/breadfruitjuice/support
Why do people love their pets so much? On today’s episode, we talk cultural differences between Caribbean and American pet owners, how having a pet can be just like having a kid, and play a game of dog trivia.

Saturday morning cartoons were the best! Who among us doesn’t get a serious case of nostalgia overload when we remember eating breakfast and watching the new episode of EXO Squad, Savage Dragon or Skeleton Warriors? These are the shows that helped defined many of our childhoods, and even when they disappeared due to FCC regulations, we still remember them warmly. Today we discuss why we think some of the newer cartoon shows are (to put it bluntly) kinda trash, and what we loved about our old-school cartoons.

The World Cup is over and France came out on top in a stunning 4-2 victory over Croatia, winning a jaw-dropping $38M in cash prizes and the World Cup trophy, estimated to be worth about $20M. Croatia didn’t do too shabby either, walking away with a respectable $28M in cash. That got me to thinking, what would happen if every team who played (even the ones who didn’t win) walked away with a trophy and equal prize money? In this episode, we discuss what we think of participation trophies. We also ask the question, “What would life be like if everyone won a prize just for showing up?” CONTACT: Twitter: @breadfruitshow & @breadfruitace Anchor: https://anchor.fm/breadfruitjuice Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/breadfruit-juice Email: breadfruitjuice@gmail.com SOURCES: https://writetheworld.com/groups/1/shared/61012/version/118148 https://www.theodysseyonline.com/5-reasons-participation-trophies-shouldnt-be https://simplegrenadiancooking.wordpress.com/2016/10/24/grenadian-pelau/ htt --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/breadfruitjuice/support
