Be honest, you’d be better served lighting a barrel (okay, thimble) of your money on fire.  Join Art and Lex, along with their friends Ben and Michael, as they do their best to understand the stock market. Think of it like the infinite monkey theorem, which states that a monkey hitting random keys at a...

Episode 137 of That Was Disappointing is Live. “Qu'est-ce que c'est? Fa-fa-fa-fa, fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa” Today’s Topic: Serial Killers. We’re not saying ex-Producer Dave has any relation to Jack the Ripper, but we’re not not saying it either. Join Art and Lex, as they chat about our obsession with these undesirables. You know, the ones that would decorate the top of their Christmas tree with your skul...

Episode 133 of That Was Disappointing is Live. We like to talk about things that have multiple meanings since we can't decide on one. Case in point... Today’s Topic: Subs.

Join Art and Lex Ben (sitting in for Mr. BBJ himself), along with friends Miranda and Kelly, as they start talking about the vari...

Episode 132 of That Was Disappointing is Live. We kid because we love. But you can still suck our balls. Today’s Topic: Roasts. As in, talking smack about others out of “love.” We don’t really hate Ben. Or do we? Join Art and Lex, along with their friends Kat, Ken and Miranda, as they talk about some of their favorite zingers and point out their biggest flaws. Like Lex is just too good at “BBJ.” A...

Hey, we have representation from blue belts, purple belts and brown belts on...

Episode 127 of That Was Disappointing is Live. We’ve got something big and heavy for you to curl… Today’s Topic: Weight training. Because the biggest thing you lift everyday shouldn’t be your foot onto a scale. Join Art and Lex, as they chat squats, kettlebells and everything in-between.

Join Art, Lex, and their frenemy Ben as they talk their not so pearly whites and how they came to this sad state. Well, most of them at least. Artholomew is quick to point out his teeth are impeccable as he s...

Episode 122 of That Was Disappointing is Live. That’s an ugly mask, homie. Kudos! Wait — what do you mean you’re not wearing one? Today’s Topic: Halloween.

From nuclear war to vacation plans, we’ve got you covered. You think we’re joking!? Join Art and Lex as they meet for their first-ever daytime convo. The former had (bull)shit to do, so our recording schedule was a little wonky (and sober) this week. Bein...

Episode 118 of That Was Disappointing is Live. Our viewership is harder to find than one of those 12-foot skeletons from Home Depot.  Today’s Topic: Fall. The one time of the year that wearing a hoodie is apropos… weirdo.  Join Art, Lex, and their guests ex-producer Kenny (!), Ryan and Kelly, as they talk about the season that’s not too hot or too cold but somewhere in between. Here’s ho...
