That Was Disappointing...

Episode 066 of That Was Disappointing is Live. What if… we named our podcast That Was NOT Disappointing? Today’s Theme: Marvel Comics. You know, the studio (w/ an assist from Disney) behind the comic book films that people actually like. Our first topic is the obscure character you’d like to see get their own intellectual property. Art tried to cheat (surprise!) and name someone who was featured o...

Episode 065 of That Was Disappointing is Live. Do you know what Friends is without the laugh track? This podcast! No, that’s not a compliment!!! Today’s Theme: The 1990’s Part Deux Electric Boogaloo Our first topic is the best/worst year of the decade. 1993 is right up there (as far as the shits go) for Lex. Who knew kids could be so cruel? Well, Producer Kenny did, but he was also one of the punk...

Episode 064 of That Was Disappointing is Live. We put the “boobs” in boob tube. Today’s Theme: TV. Otherwise known as ye olde idiot box. I mean, we turned out fine, right? *sobs* Our first topic is the popular show you felt was just the absolute shits. Reality TV, come on down! Speaking of which, we’re kind of surprised Art’s choice wasn’t Maury, given the amount of paternity suits he had against...

Episode 063 of That Was Disappointing is Live. Why is no one interested in this f-ing topic!? Today’s Theme: Guilty Pleasures. We all have them, but only one panelist wants to talk about them. Go figure! Our first topic is the disgustingly delicious thing you eat after a shit-filled day. What do Lex and Andrew Zimmern both have in common? They’ve both ate insects. That’s not what the former has af...

Episode 062 of That Was Disappointing is Live. We’re the Thursday Night Football of podcasts. Today’s Theme: The NFL. Go Dallas Renegades! Our first topic goes straight for the jugular: what team will win it all this year? Art doesn’t know anything about American Fussball, but that hasn’t stopped him from talking out of his arse before. See Episodes #1-#61 of your most (un)favorite broadcast. Our...

Episode 061 of That Was Disappointing is Live. Yer a tosser, Harry! Today’s Theme: Harry Potter. We’re the Crucio of podcasts. Our first topic is what the Mirror of Erised would show you. Betcha can’t guess what Lex voted for. It starts with a B and ends with a J, but doesn’t end with a Happy Ending. *rimshot* Low-hanging fruit, ladies and gentleman. We’ll forever grasp for it. ❤️ Our second topic...

Episode 060 of That Was Disappointing is Live. The episode that will live in infamy… Today’s Theme: Nothing. Seriously, we f-ed up and didn’t book any guests. Seriously, that’s the show tonight. Art, Lex and Producer Kenny throw shade at each other, give a special shout-out to their sole listener in Turkmenistan and even play a game of Kiss ‘Em, F*ck ‘Em, Throw ‘Em Off a Cliff, where their only ch...

Episode 059 of That Was Disappointing is Live. Like that scene in Total Recall, only with even more boobs. Today’s Theme: Sci-Fi. We talk about things other than Star Wars and Star Trek. Honest! Our first topic is the sci-fi franchise you’d reboot. Lex already had a perfect response in Dune, but Denis Villeneuve beat him to the punch. Lame! Going for a Hail Mary pass with Battlefield Earth probabl...

Episode 058 of That Was Disappointing is Live. What do you mean the closing ceremony was last night? Today’s Theme: The Olympics. Team USA had the highest medal count for the 2020 Olympics held in 2021, because that’s the batshit insanity we’re dealing with. Our first topic is non-enhancing drugs: why are athletes being dinged for this? Art loves his edibles and he wants to know why that would dis...

Episode 057 of That Was Disappointing is Live. This shit is wack, yo! Today’s Theme: Crazy Stories. A lot of near death experiences. Maybe next time? Learn about hilarious things such as the time that Lex’s neighbor thought he murdered his wife and called the police on him. *canned laughter* Or Art’s near-miss with a subway train and subsequent run from the po-po. He even MacGyvered up a smokescre...

Episode 056 of That Was Disappointing is Live. “Early to rise, early to bed, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and dead.” — James Thurber Today’s Theme: Sleep. When all the physical/mental pain goes away and is replaced with night terrors. ❤️ Our first topic is the weird shit that’s happened when you didn’t get enough sleep. Art wanted us to know it was lack of beauty rest and not hallucinogenics that...

Episode 055 of That Was Disappointing is Live. Let’s get all Julia Child up in this beotch. Today’s Theme: Cooking. Add bologna, American cheese, repeat. Our first topic is your go-to dish when you’re hoping to make a little whoopee. As in Wham. Bam. Thank Ya Ma’am (or Sir)! Lex is relatively new to the culinary arts, but he’s a modern day Adonis in the kitchen. As a matter of fact, he’s only burn...

Episode 054 of That Was Disappointing is Live. Like the Macarena only with even more unattractive men. Today’s Theme: Short-term fads. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurby! Our first topic is the fad you saw right through. As in, you knew it was a steaming pile from the start. Art knew the McRib was pure malarkey from the get-go. His argument? Why else would it go into long periods of hibernation. Sound logi...

Episode 053 of That Was Disappointing is Live. It’s the Nation’s (belated) birthday and our first anniversary. Mazel tov! Today’s Theme: America, F*ck yeah! Our first topic is what else is as American as apple pie. Frivolous lawsuits anyone? Lex feels like the eponymous fruit has had its 15 minutes of fame and it’s time to give something else a chance… like coffee enemas. I mean, does it really ma...

Episode 052 of That Was Disappointing is Live. Roll (69) for Initiative. Today’s Theme: D&D. That stands for Dragons & Dungeons, ya goofballs. Our first topic is your most fun/wasted day in D&D. It’s adorable that Art thinks any session of D&D wouldn’t be defined as “wasted” by the general public. He needs a real hobby, like stamp collecting. Hell, at least you’d be less likely to...

Episode 051 of That Was Disappointing is Live. r/AMA for Dummies Today’s Theme: Shit We’re Nerdy About. Preferably, ones that won’t wind us on the wrong end of a restraining order. *record scratch* Our first topic is BJJ. Lex considers himself a prodigy (he’s not) and he has the rolling record to prove it (seriously, he probably has 1 “win” for every 9 taps), so he wants everyone to know about his...

Episode 050 of That Was Disappointing is Live. “You hate us! You really hate us!” Today’s Theme: It’s our Golden Anniversary, mofos. Hopefully, we’ll be around for at least 5 more (episodes). Join Art and Lex (not Producer Kenny as his beauty rest was more important) as they wax poetic on some of their more intriguing clips from the prior 49 episodes. More Bigfoot facials and rimjobs... terrific.....

Episode 049 of That Was Disappointing is Live. It’s Still Real to Us Dammit! Today’s Theme: Pro Wrestling. As in the Fake Wrestling. Try not to say that to any “sports entertainers” though as you’re likely to have your head shoved up your ass. Our first topic is blood in wrestling. For the most part it’s a relic of the past, but Lex isn’t having it. He feels it’s a necessary evil that draws you in...

Episode 048 of That Was Disappointing is Live. Your anal plug is in another castle. Today’s Theme: Video games. Fuck Billy Mitchell right in his ear. Our first topic is the video game that defined the space for you. As in, showed you that they’re a valid art form. Roger Ebert always poo-pooed this idea, but we have Art’s solemn vow that he won’t piss on his grave... at least until the statute of l...

Episode 047 of That Was Disappointing is Live.  Even ghosts don’t want this smoke. Today’s Theme: The Paranormal. It’s like if Zak Bagans’ The Haunted Museum and This American Life had a baby. Our first topic is the creepiest story you’ve ever heard from someone. Not everyone has their own tale to tell, but everyone has at least heard a “true” story that happened to a family member/friend. Lo...

Episode 046 of That Was Disappointing is Live. The podcast that makes Manos: The Hands of Fate look like Citizen Kane. Today’s Theme: Bad Movies. Surely Bill Cosby never did anything worse than Leonard Part Six... Our first topic is bad movies with no redeeming qualities. This is a brave topic for Art to explore. considering the drubbing The Money Shot got at the box office. We’re kidding! It’s no...

Episode 045 of That Was Disappointing is Live. “In the year 2525, if man is still alive...” LOL Today’s Theme: The Future. *scans horizon* Still looks like a dumpster fire to me. Our first topic is the innovation you’re afraid you won’t live long enough to see. Anyone ever read the theory about the Star Trek transporter secretly being a suicide device? Lex has... and he doesn’t care. Beam him up,...

Join Art, Lex, and Kenny as they tango with their...

Episode 043 of That Was Disappointing is Live. We’re now less than 600 shows away from catching up with The Simpsons. Huzzah! Today’s Theme: Nostalgia. Like sands through the hourglass, so are the dregs of our lives... Our first topic is what food stuffs we’re nostalgic for. Kate, it’s probably best not to ask the crew this question when we’re operating on an empty stomach, just an FYI. Did someon...

Episode 042 of That Was Disappointing is Live. We’re a bigger disaster than Crash. Today’s Theme: The Oscars. Better get ready to play us off... Our first topic is whether award shows are even necessary. Art’s Hollywood dream must be fading as he’s sick of the drama. Pun intended. At the very least they’re not handing out participation trophies... yet. Our second topic is if we’d be tempted to “se...
