What does one say after listening to two old friends discuss a haphazard mix of topics with their rotating panel of guests? We'd say, "that was disappointing," but you might think differently. Each week, Art and Lex, friends from school and masters of nothing notable, sit down to talk with a guest or two about any and all topics — with jokes and ball-busting winning the day. We cannot promise you'll learn something worthwhile, but you will learn something new about us each week. And ain't learnin' about the human condition just the bee's knees? Check us out and you won't be disappointed. Well....

Episode 103: Fast Food 20.06.2022

Episode 103 of That Was Disappointing is Live. If Mac Tonight didn’t give you nightmares, we sure as hell will. Today’s Topic: Fast food. So, it cuts a year (or ten) off your life. BFD! Isn’t a double whopper in the present more important than your grandkid’s graduation anyway?  Americans might be fat, ugly and stupid, but at least we know how to eat, pal. Don’t you know obesity was once cons...

Episode 102: Survivalism 13.06.2022

Episode 102 of That Was Disappointing is Live. Our best advice for living off the grid? Lots of clean underwear. Either that or going commando. Today’s Topic: Survivalism. But let’s be honest.

Be honest, at least half of you can’t wait for the automated ass wipers to roll out to the market. The future is now… is what we’d say if we weren’t so sh!t scared of the inevitable robot uprising. Asimov’s Laws our ass! For ever...

Episode 099: More Changes, Wrestling, Depp v. Heard 23.05.2022

Episode 099 of That Was Disappointing is Live. Albert Einstein famously said, “the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” In other news, we lost another producer. Today’s Theme: Well, it was supposed to be wrestling. And to be fair, we do talk about wrestling… eventually. Think of this more as a stream of consciousness thing while we pick up...

Episode 098: TV Season 2: The Binge Continues 16.05.2022

Episode 098 of That Was Disappointing is Live. We jumped the shark 99 episodes ago… Today’s Theme: TV. Again. The boob tube. Lord knows, it’s filled with enough of them nowadays. Everyone’s cutting the cord nowadays, right? Right!? Okay, maybe it’s just us, but surely you can understand our motives. Everything’s a turd sandwich on the idiot box, made worse by the fact that anything worth watching...

Episode 097: Bad Movies Part 2: The Even Worse Sequel 09.05.2022

Episode 097 of That Was Disappointing is Live. We’re the nuking the fridge of podcasts. Huzzah! Today’s Theme: Bad movies. Again, but worse.

Emphasis on “bad” as one of your favorite co-hosts/frenemies forgot to check the spreadsheet and thought we were talking about film in general. But hey, at least we got to rehash the Oscars a...

Episode 096: Star Wars, Part 2 02.05.2022

Episode 096 of That Was Disappointing is Live. We got banned from Galaxy’s Edge after our last visit. If only Producer Kenny hadn’t exposed himself to Kylo Ren… Today’s Theme: Star Wars, Part 2. It’s May the 4th this week, baby! Time for some more bitching about the over saturation of the product. “Long ago…” blah blah blah. You all know the spiel. You can always rely on dorks flocking to Star War...

Episode 095: Pop Music 25.04.2022

Episode 095 of That Was Disappointing is Live. What’s a Lizzo!? Today’s Theme: Pop Music. Now we’re complaining about the same shit that our parents complained about in the 1980’s. Circle of life, baby! It’s strangely apropos that we’re following up the Sex episode with the Pop Music episode. After all, they both feature something strangely alien to us as we get older. #sadtrombone What defines po...

Episode 094: Sex 18.04.2022

Episode 094 of That Was Disappointing is Live. We’re the erectile dysfunction to your yeast infection. Today’s Theme: Sex. Ladies… and gents… seriously, we’re not choosy!

Episode 093: Choir 11.04.2022

Episode 093 of That Was Disappointing is Live. Richard Wagner wrote The Ring Cycle over the course of 26 years. Conversely, it took us only 26 minutes to destroy all music genres.  Today’s Theme: Choir… kinda. Honestly, this was more of an excuse to air grievances from high school, so some trickery was afoul. Everyone found their people in school… or they sat alone at lunch. *sad trombone* It...

Episode 092: A Chat with Alyson 04.04.2022

Episode 092 of That Was Disappointing is Live. Now for something completely different — and possibly better? Today’s Theme: Girl talk with Alyson and Art, AKA a chat with Joe's wife because Lex and Producer Kenny flaked out on this episode. That's right, boys and girls. Two thirds of the show decided they were "too tired" and punched out for the night. But fear not! Since Art wasn't at the hospita...
