That Was Disappointing...

Episode 212 is Live.

You can probably count the great book-to-film (and TV) adaptations on one hand. While we’ll humor you and discuss them ever so briefly this episode, our primary goal is to talk about the dreck this episode. A circle jerk this is not.

TWD Fact of the Day: The less said about The Garbage Pail Kids Movie the better.

Episode 211 is Live.

Did your favorite TV show have a horrible ending? Get in line.

The only shows with “good” endings are the ones that never end. Death, taxes and The Simpsons. Regardless, we’re talking the worst endings in boob tube history this week. Join us for our hot takes on shows that have been off the air for at least 5+ years. Priorities!

TWD Fact of the Day: Contrary to popular belief, the third season of Ted Lasso doesn’t have an alternate ending with Ted, Rebecca, and jar of peanut butter and a strap-on.

Episode 210 is Live.

We’re talking Internet Mysteries this week.

Mostly music with a little pornography thrown in. Heck, there’s even some crossover between the two. Would you expect anything less from this ragtag band of misfits? Unlike Raygun, we don’t disappoint.

TWD Fact of the Day: Art had the runs this entire episode. If that’s not an advertisement for Metamucil, we’re not sure what is.

Episode 209 is Live.

And we’re back!

Not since Che has there been a more infamous trip to Bolivia. What’d we miss while we were gone? Assassination attempts, a sitting president opting not to run for reelection, the first week of the Summer Olympics… *yawns*

Let’s talk about the shiznit that really matters (and will be replacing us all soon enough): AI.

Skynet doesn’t want this smoke.

TWD Fact of the Day: Did you know Art, Lex, Producer Kenny, Tim, and Frank (new guest alert!) all went to the same high school and graduated within a year of each other? No, we won’t be performing the Full Monty.

Classic Episode: The Olympics (Episode 58 - Released August 9th 2021)

The boys are safe in their last week in Bolivia, stick around for the classic episode The Olymipics.

And see you next week for first episode back!

(Original Show Notes)

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 disqualify him from competition. We’re just going to overlook the fact that his edibles go by the street name “Little Debbie.”

Our second topic is the most ridiculous events of the modern-day Olympiad. Did you know pistol dueling and live pigeon shooting used to be events? We’re guessing Kelly didn’t as she chose to focus on the present. Or maybe she just really hates water polo. *shrugs*

Our third topic is a serious one FOR ONCE. Specifically, the mental health of our athletes. Lex takes all of the trolls to task for poo-pooing the struggles of our superstar athletes. Now, if someone could just get him to stop Monday morning quarterbacking…

Our final topic is the sport you feel you’d excel in. Difficulty: you have to create it first. Kat served us up, but we kept our choices relatively mild. Well, with the exception of Producer Kenny, but seeing as he’s the one doing the scoring here, we won’t count his severed toe collection.

Classic Episode: Dungeons and Dragons (Episode 52 - Released June 28th 2021)

The boys are on the run again in Bolivia, stick around for classic episode Dungeons and Dragons.

(Original Show Notes)

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 die a virgin.

Our second topic is your favorite character you’ve played. No, Chris R. isn’t talking about LARPing… it’s somehow even more pathetic. So, apparently everyone doesn’t play a Conan or Dumbledore-clone? Who knew!? Oh duh… I forgot about Legolas.

Our third topic is how D&D has affected your outside life. In other news, people who play D&D actually have a life. Good news for our freshest (read: least pathetic) panelist, Jon, who’s new to the game. Or did things already suck for you to begin with?

Our fourth (not final!) is your best/worst item in D&D. Does a MOAB count or is that just wishful thinking? Tim says there’s more to it than just pointy objects you stab each other with. Pffft! Unless the jousting sticks from American Gladiators are DLC, I’m not interested.

Our final topic is… why? Yep, our resident smartass/ jerkoff, Lex, doesn’t know a f’n thing about D&D, so he needs to defer to the rest of the panel to understand the appeal. Producer Kenny, perhaps you can throw someone a lifeline in the future. kthnxbye

Classic Episode: TV (Episode 64 - Released September 20th 2021)

Has everyone already cut the cord? If not (Lex), you’re doing it wrong. If yes (Art), you’re still poor. If sexy (Producer Kenny), we’ll just call you “Skinemax.” If you’ve read all this, just know this is a re-airing of our TV episode. Don’t have a cow, man!

TWD Fact of the Day: Who shot J.R.? Certainly not these guerillas in Bolivia. Stormtroopers have better aim!

The boys are hiding out in Bolivia, stick around for the classic episode TV.

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 him now. Zing!

Our second topic is reminiscent of our show… it’s garbage. As in, what is your go to trash TV? Sean couldn’t live without the Travel Channel, given his penchant for paranormal programming. Guess that explains his affinity for being ghosted. Hiyo!

Our third topic is the decade of TV you feel was the best. Surprisingly, every panelist had a different decade. Lex’s was the 1840’s, but we still gave him an E for effort. Meanwhile, Producer Kenny chose the 1980’s due to his affinity for Mrs. Garrett. “Girls, girls, girls!”

Our final topic is the show that started great, only to end disastrously. So many choices, so little time. I mean, the industry is just one giant cesspool. Hell, the only show Ben likes is Let’s Make a Deal, and that’s because he was able to con a free trip to Aruba out of Wayne Brady.

Classic Episode: Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (Episode 128 - Released December 12th 2022)

It’s Lex’s wet dream, a re-airing of our initial discourse on the gentle art of folding laundry (w/ people still inside). Meanwhile in Bolivia, these survival skills are serving us well as we weather the current political climate.

TWD Fact of the Day: Chuck Norris has nightmares about Gordon Ryan.

(Original Show Notes)

Episode 128 of That Was Disappointing is Live.

It’s “BBJ” time, bitches!

Today’s Topic: Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

AKA: the bane of Art’s existence.

Join Art and Lex, and a bunch of people who have kicked the latter’s ass on the mat, as they discuss their addiction. Yes, it’s the art of folding laundry with people still inside. Hey, we have representation from blue belts, purple belts and brown belts on this episode. White belts were too scared to join… black belts had better things to do. #achybreakyheart

TWD Tip of the Week: Lex has yet to suffer a single defeat in the UFC.

Classic Episode: Heat (Episode 161 - Released July 31st 2023)

The boys are enjoying their vacation in Bolivia then stick around for the classic episode Heat.

Hot enuff for ya! Let us cool you off with a trip down memory lane. We’re (re)playing our infamous Heat episode during our sojourn to Bolivia. BTW, what great timing on our part, huh?

TWD Fact of the Day: How hot is it outside? Any resident prude Producer Kenny is wearing a thing.

(Original Show Notes)

Episode 161 of That Was Disappointing is Live.

Whiskey on the rocks… hold the whiskey.

Today’s Topic: Heat.

Yeah, it’s sweltering, but the surface of the sun is still hotter, ya babies.

Join Art and Lex, along with their frenemy Ben and the lovely Kat, as they chat about the sun and the havoc it’s currently unleashing on our pale blue dot. Oh, save it you climate cultists. Trying to blame humanity for the current crisis is like blaming the person who pulled the trigger when it’s actually the gun that fired the shot. Did that argument make sense? Ww always wanted to be in the Debate Club, if only for the groupies. #ladies

TWD Tip of the Week: The temperature drops 3.5 degrees for every 1,000 feet. At 6,000 feet, it is barely 70 degrees. You’ll be comfy at the top of Mount Everest. Dead… but comfy. ❤️

Episode 208 is Live.

Our Season 4 finale. This may or may not be our last episode.

We’re still undecided. After all, the pandemic has come to an end and life has seemingly returned to normal. On the other hand, the world is still stupid and needs a reckoning… and we’re just the buffoons to give ‘em hell.

TWD Fact of the Day: Bolivia is lovely this time of year.
