That Was Disappointing...

Episode 101 of That Was Disappointing is Live.

With the sexiness of Casper the Friendly Ghost and the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man combined… ladies…

Today’s Topic: Ghost hunting.

Some people call it b.s. Others call it absolute horseshiat. What!? They’re different levels of bull-hockey!

What goes bump in the night? It’s probably just the house settling, ya moron. However, the individuals currently keeping the lights on at the Travel Channel would have you believe it’s ghosts, demons, Bigfoot or worse yet… your mother-in-law. Dun dun DUN!

Join Art and Lex as they try to debunk this pseudoscience and maybe even learn a moral along the way. Like, for instance, the fact that “BBJ” would be useless against the paranormal. Proton-packs-4-life!

TWD Tip of the Week: It’s plausible to make a bong out of a skull. We’re pretty sure you’ll be damned, but hey, you’re already listening to this podcast. ❤️

Episode 100 of That Was Disappointing is Live.

Apropos we’re talking about 1’s and 0’s as everyone of us will be a robot’s fluffer soon enough.

Today’s Theme: Automation.

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 every benefit automation provides us, there’s the searing image of the T-800 standing atop a mountain of human skulls. Then again, considering recent events, perhaps they’d be doing us a favor. 

Join Art, Lex and their special guest, Kelly, as they try to make sense of the future of tech. Hell, they may even play a game of F-ck, Marry, Kill along the way. You poor saps really thought we were joking, didn’t you?

TWD Tip of the Week: WD-40? Astroglide? Same difference!

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 the pieces of this podcast. It’s still pretty f-ing funny though.

Well, we were all prepared to revisit the topic of wrestling. It would’ve been Lex’s time to shine as Art knows nothing that’s sport ball-related… even when it’s fake! But alas, we’ve lost Producer Kenny. If it’s any consolation, we heard he’ll be sharing the same padded room with Producer Dave at Bellevue.

Seriously though, we wish nothing but the best for any of our former producers, guests, etc., that we’ve managed to ostracize. We appreciate all that you’ve done for us… especially the fact that we won’t have to pay you royalties later on. Cha-ching!

TWD Tip of the Week: We’ve all heard the cliche “it’s not you, it’s me,” right? Can we apply that to producers as well? *sobs*

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 is readily available on a streaming service. Tiger King 2 notwithstanding.

Join your cohosts as they discuss/squabble over what’s worth watching either now or on the horizon. There plenty of stuff like the reboot with that guy and the spin-off starring the lady with glasses from that film. This is going to be a short episode, isn’t it?

TWD Tip of the Week: The Simpson ran out of ideas 20 seasons ago. We’re not going anywhere!

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.

Speaking of which, has anyone seen The Money Shot (besides us) yet?

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 and how much of a wiener Will Smith is. We were always Team Carlton anyway.

Oh, and speaking of bad movies (and shot podcasts), please check out our sister podcast Subversive Cinema. You might learn a thing or two about Art and his obsession that led him to the west coast. Be forewarned though, his guests are nowhere as cool as the guests we have on here. <3

TWD Tip of the Week: Only one year separated Shrek from The Adventures of Pluto Nash for Eddie Murphy. “You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and there you have the Facts of Life! The Facts of Life…”

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 Wars, like moths to an open flame, the first week of May. Hell, that and the Justin Timberlake-meme pretty much make up the entire month. See, we saved you 31 days of scrolling through your Facebook feed.

Come join your hosts with the most/least and their friend Ryan as they talk about your favorite topic and detail their plans for storming Skywalker Ranch. Even if we weren’t joking, you’d have to figure a stormtrooper would have a better chance of hitting a bullseye.

TWD Tip of the Week: If you need something to stream between now and the Obi-Wan Kenobi premiere, we’re here. *crickets*

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 pop music? Why does every generation hate the beats of the one that comes thereafter? Would we see Ludwig van Beethoven twerk if we were alive today? I’m not saying we cover all of this topics in 30 minutes, but you can guaran-damn-tee our conversation is just as inane. ❤️

TWD Tip of the Week: Boy George was once a teenage heartthrob. There’s hope for you all!

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!

Webster’s defines ‘coitus’ as the “physical union of male and female genitalia accompanied by rhythmic movements.” #poundtown 

We’re joined by our old friend Kelly to talk about this very topic… and maybe air a few (too many) intimate secrets. Don’t you already have enough blackmail on us already?

If you think about it, we’re all here because someone(s) did the naughty. Wouldn’t you hope it was as sexually liberating as possible? Although we’d probably draw the line at stepbros (and poo). We do have standards, after all.

TWD Tip of the Week: Droppin' Loads : The Legend of Nick Manning (Kindle edition) is currently $5.99 on Amazon. *sploosh*

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 just so happens that everyone on this podcast (including returning guest Ryan) were a part of the choir crew in high school. Although some were more influential than others. Hint: Art and Lex were more the Billy Baldwin’s of the group.

How do these social circles form? Were their orgies among the upper tier? Why did Hansel’s Messiah always have to close out the f’n holiday show. All of these questions are answered (or not) and chances are good you’ll be disappointed. We aim to serve.

TWD Tip of the Week: The Mormon Tabernacle Choir are the OG’s of cliques.

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 hospital having another kid, he tirelessly picked up their slack and helped to bring more quality entertainment to you, our adoring listeners.
