Episode 091 of That Was Disappointing is Live. “Human sacrifice! Dogs and cats living together! Art having a kid. Mass hysteria!” Today’s Theme: Fatherhood. Specifically, the trials and tribulations our friend has to look forward to. What do you mean babies can’t just use the litter box? While he doesn’t have the same smarts or sex appeal as Danny Tanner (R.I.P. Bob Saget), Art decided to give thi...

Episode 090 of That Was Disappointing is Live. Getting back to themed episodes. It’s like we have a plan or some shit. Today’s Theme: Space. Yeah, we’re double dipping with this topic but a) new format ya mooks b) there’s a lot of shit currently going on above the Karman line and c) Twi’lek sex. That last point might not be covered but it’s still perfectly valid. The good news: Friend-of-the-show...

Episode 089 of That Was Disappointing is Live. We didn’t give up on our new format after one week. Huzzah! Today’s Theme: Errr… I guess the topic is Ben? We’re still feeling out this new format too, ya jerks. Double the laughs in half the time. That’s what we’re telling ourselves at least. Hell, this episode is worth it alone for the perplexed looks we receive from one of our (least) favorite retu...

Episode 088 of That Was Disappointing is Live. “Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes, Turn and face the strange…” R.I.P. David Bowie (AKA: Thin White Duke). This episode isn’t about you (and you’ve been dead for 5+ years) but you’re forever in our hearts. Today’s Theme: Out with the old, in with the new. We’re revamping things for the apocalypse. Huzzah! There’s lots of things happening with the podcast. Art’s hav...

Episode 087 of That Was Disappointing is Live. If the choice were listening to this podcast or getting eaten by a grizzly… well, take all the time you need. Today’s Theme: Camping. You know, the thing we’ll all be doing more of (w/ our caravans) after the bombs start to fall in… 3… 2… Our first topic is a special from one of our dim-witted hosts: Why? Lex has never been camping, so he doesn’t allu...

Episode 086 of That Was Disappointing is Live. As Winston Churchill once said, “Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” Pffft! What does that jerkoff know? Today’s Theme: Topic Grab Bag. Totally taking a trip down memory lane with this one. Definitely NOT doing this because something went awry with the scheduling. No sirree, Bob! Our first topic is a meditation on the delic...

Episode 085 of That Was Disappointing is Live. Or when the Love Boat meets the iceberg. Today’s Theme: Love is in the air, fools. Or maybe that’s nuclear fallout. Anything is bound to happen in this day and age… Happy Valentine’s Day lovers/haters! Regardless of your relationship status, Hallmark is still gonna make some serious bank today. Which just goes to show you, creating a holiday from scra...

Episode 084 of That Was Disappointing is Live. We’re the Madden Curse of podcasts. Today’s Theme: Super Bowl. We recorded this episode prior to the Championship games, so you can probably guess how well our predictions turned out… Our first topic is the ultimate Super Bowl commercial. Difficulty: you have to create it. Listen as Art musters all of the creative talent in his pores only to muster on...

Episode 083 of That Was Disappointing is Live. We’re the Curling of podcasts. We still haven’t made it to the podium yet. :-( Today’s Theme: Winter Olympics. How many gold medals do you think Michael Phelps will win this go round? Our first topic is whether there should even be an Olympics this year. Lex thinks the pandemic, charges of ethnic cleansing against the host country, etc., could put a d...

Episode 082 of That Was Disappointing is Live. We’re the Hechinger of podcasts. Google it! Today’s Theme: Home Improvements. What was Wilson doing behind that fence all the time? And was there a glory hole… ? Our first topic is the home improvement that you completely ducked up. *quack* Art’s gotta face the fact that he’s more Red Green than Bob Vila. That’s a shoutout for our Canadien listeners....

Episode 081 of That Was Disappointing is Live. We’re all still white belts at this thing we call “life.” *gongs* Today’s Theme: Martial Arts. Something we’re all experts at. Hell, I’ve seen Kung Fu Panda at least 3x. Our first topic is the martial art you’d want to master. Believe it or not, Lex did not select “BBJ,” proving once more he’s an embarrassment both on-and-off the podcast. Producer Ken...

Episode 080 of That Was Disappointing is Live. Sit, Ubu, Sit. No, don’t shit on the floor! Today’s Theme: Pets. Our cuddly (unless they’re amphibians or arachnids) critters that get oodles of pampering. Talk about the high life! Our first topic is how many pets are too many. Lex has rescued more than his fair share of kittie cats, but he’s happy to say his house hasn’t appeared in a commercial (w/...

Episode 079 of That Was Disappointing is Live. Oh, the halcyon days of yore when masturbation was of utmost importance… why hasn’t anything changed!? Today’s Theme: Follies of Youth. Did you know at least one member of our staff (name rhymes with Bart Small) has outstanding warrants in at least 4 states? Our first topic is the dumbest thing you did/biggest lesson you learned in your early life. Th...

Episode 078 of That Was Disappointing is Live. 2022 has got to be better, right? Right!? Today’s Theme: Year in Review. From the storming of the Capitol to Tiger King 2, we’re now dealing with back-to-back years that have been the shits. Join Art, Lex, and Producer Kenny as they chat about the “best” of 2021. How they were able to stay (somewhat) sober for the entire episode is anyone’s guess. Tru...

Episode 077 of That Was Disappointing is Live. Shitter was full, ya filthy animals. Yippie-Ki-Yay, Movie House! Today’s Theme: It’s our Awkward Office Holiday Party. Come for the hot chocolate, stay for the heavy petting. It’s that time of the year again, boys and girls. When St. Nick sticks his merry old fat-ass down the chimney and gifts the lot of us a bevy of sweet swag like new socks and unst...

Episode 076 of That Was Disappointing is Live. “Who's the leader of the club That's made for you and me E-A-T M-Y A-S-S-H-O-L-E” Today’s Theme: Disney. In other news, Art will be looking for a new job by the end of this episode. Our first topic is a fight, believe it or not, between Lex (w/ his “BBJ” skills) and any Disney character of your choosing. I mean, if we’re going live action too, there’s...

Episode 075 of That Was Disappointing is Live. The North Remembers… just how much this series blew. Today’s Theme: Game of Thrones. We’re nothing if not timely. The sinking of the Lusitania is on our docket for next week. Put up your dukes! Seriously, this is a hot button issue for some of our hosts/panelists (Lex, show us on a doll where D & D touched you), but it does teach the rest of us a...

Episode 074 of That Was Disappointing is Live. We’re so homely, even serial killers aren’t interested in us. Today’s Theme: True Crime. The opposite of petty larceny. But let’s be honest, we stole your heart from Episode 001. Our first topic is the serial killers that terrified you the most. Yeah, they’re all skeevy POS, but some have modus operandi that would make even us potential victims. Well,...

Episode 073 of That Was Disappointing is Live. The green bean casserole of podcasts. No, that’s not a compliment. Today’s Theme: Thanksgiving. Not gonna mean a lot to our foreign listeners, but it’s another excuse for us Americans to gorge our fat asses. U-S-A! U-S-A! There’s a lot we have to be thankful for this year. COVID, insurrections, genital warts — wait, this year sucked! Fortunately, we s...

Episode 072 of That Was Disappointing is Live. This episode is the shits. Seriously! Today’s Theme: Toys. If we were talking about sex toys, it would somehow be less offensive to the ears than this travesty. So, gonna keep it real with y’all. This show is called That was Disappointing, but it’s usually pretty damn good. Subscribers are going up and we have a CRAZY amount of downloads (hello India!...

Episode 071 of That Was Disappointing is Live. Finally something we’re experts in. No, not masturbating. We’re saving that episode for after the holiday season. Today’s Theme: Podcasting. Ooo… how meta! Our first topic is if the popularity of podcasts is sustainable. Hey, we’re still going strong more than a year out, right? Right!? Still, perhaps Lex is right when he says we’ll fade into obscurit...

Episode 070 of That Was Disappointing is Live. In the words of our prophet: “Me mind on fire Me soul on fire, feeling hot, hot, hot Party people All around me feeling hot, hot, hot What to do on a night like this Music sweet, I can't resist We need a party song A fundamental jam So we go rum-bum-bum-bum Yeah, we rum-bum-bum-bum Feeling hot, hot, hot Feeling hot, hot, hot, oh, Lord” ~ Buster Poinde...

Episode 069 of That Was Disappointing is Live. Such a sexy number for such a spooooooky episode. Today’s Theme: Halloween. What’s scarier than a ghost? Your Mom. Bonus points awarded if she’s already dead. Our first topic is your favorite costume from year’s past. Lex was going to do something with Alec Baldwin this year, so we’ve immediately enrolled him in sensitivity training. Meanwhile, Produc...

Episode 068 of That Was Disappointing is Live. That’s one spicy meatball, Chef Boyardee. Today’s Theme: Flashback Time! Breathing fire from our mouth and expelling it from our ass. Yep, we mailed it in and decided to share a Facebook Live episode recorded earlier this year, where our (prior) producer supplied us with hot sauce to douse wings in. The results were… disappointing, but we’ve decided t...

Episode 067 of That Was Disappointing is Live. To boldly go to infinity and beyond. Wait — what? Today’s Theme: Star Trek. Picard is better than Kirk. Don’t @ us. Our first topic is the Prime Directive: Necessary or Horseshit? Lex has had it up to here with the hypocrisy of Starfleet Command. Not to mention the douchebaggery of the jerk in My Octopus Teacher. How does it tie in? Do you care? Pleas...
