Disaster Hour

Coconuts have a shockingly high street value.

In this one, Ian and Liv talk about an island off the coast of India where the inhabitants have remain completely uncontacted by the rest of the world, and have defended their island with primitive violence for the last 200 years. Despite local laws prohibiting island interaction, people (yes, plural) have tempted their fate on North Sentinel Island.

Also, Ian comes up with a new podcast idea. Liv redefines dating.

Season 10 is here!

In this one, Ian and Liv talk about a cosmic anomaly where the Sun launched a solar storm of magnetism and plasma that blasted the Earth in 1859. The result? Wild auroras and electrical malfunction across the planet. Was it the end of times, or just regular times? Spoiler: it was both and neither.

Also, Liv wishes the Earth would lose power. Ian quotes Charlie the Unicorn.

Remember what Uncle Stockton taught us: safety is just pure waste.

Get ready to look back at THREE YEARS of Disaster Hour! This episode has games, nostalgia, more Bob content, and an endless supply of clips from the last 99 episodes from Ian and Liv!

Don't forget to thank a horse!

Season 9 was atypical for Ian and Liv in so many ways, so here's the content that didn't make the final cut for all of the season 9 episodes! Enjoy almost a half hour of nonsense, camaraderie, verbal hostility, and straight up miscommunication on the set of Disaster Hour!

Bacon can kill you in vast number of ways.

In this one, Ian and Liv revisit the first episode of Disaster Hour: THE one and only Lucy Walker Steamboat, and, of course, her devastating explosion on the Ohio River. Steam engine technology was unregulated, the engineers had no formal training, and alcohol was in the air. Surely, nothing can wrong, right? Well, it can, and don't call me "Shirley."

Also, Ian holds a grudge against a former coworker. Liv reminisces on growing up with an Italian mother.

Water cleanliness and proper sanitation are non-negotiables.

In this one, Ian and Liv take it back to the 1800s, where a public water pump was a vessel of disease for the working class folks of London. Cholera, typhoid fever, dysentery, and a myriad of other bacterial diseases were spreading like wild fire, and it wouldn't be a true 1800's nightmare without the Men in Charge of All the Things (London Chapter) denying the claims of the scientists.

Also, Liv starts a new band. Ian begins panicking over moving in two weeks.

Three balloons walk into a bar.

In this one, Ian is joined by Pete and Carolyn to talk about the balloon massacre, the disastrous 1997 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade which resulted in millions of dollars of damage, injuries, and pop culture references that would span decades. How did such a joyous event become so chaotic, dangerous, and memorable?

Also, Carolyn is worried about the children. Pete wishes he were a victim. Ian doesn't understand the concept of capitalism.

You can't skip a step, that's cheating.

In the finale of Ian & Liv's trilogy on the alien cult known as The Order of the Solar Temple, the ill-fated demise of the cult's members is explored. What happens to the cult's leader, Joseph DiMambro? Does anybody escape the cult before death becomes imminent? When do the aliens FINALLY land on Earth? All will be revealed in the next 56 minutes!

Also, Ian celebrates his 34th birthday. Liv decides to become a strict rule-follower.

Manifestos are written in a forest of red flags.

In Part 2 of The Order of the Solar Temple, Ian and Liv dig further into the ongoing disaster of the alien-cult's adventure of madness. The leader, Joseph DiMambro, is becoming sicker, his delusions are becoming stronger, members are becoming skeptical, and then there's a gun raid on Solar Temple property. So, this all begs the question: how did we get here?

Also, Liv confesses her love for Journey. Ian creates a new version of Monopoly.

Most miracles involve strobe lights.

In this one, Ian and Liv talk about a religious alien cult from the 80s & 90s, The Order of the Solar Temple. Led by a con artist/master manipulator, this cult tragically ends in a tragic murder-suicide. But what happened between the cults foundation in 1984 and the inevitable tragedy ten years later? A lot of things, most of which was complete and total bull shit.

Also, has a lightsaber. Liv calls out a disgruntled fan.
