That Was Disappointing...

Episode 171 of That Was Disappointing is Live.

It worked so “well” last week, let’s keep this stream of thought experiment going.

Today’s Topic: Headlines for the week ending 10/08/2023.

We recorded early, hence why we didn’t touch on that whole Armageddon in the Middle East thing. *coughs*

Join Art and Lex, as they (once again) go against their mission plan and stay topical, and thus, political. Hey, unlike MSNBC or Fox News, at least you’re getting an unbiased opinion from Art and Lex… thru hate both political parties equally. Almost as much as they hate the Kelce-Swift saga. Can we just get to the part where he cheats on her and she puts out a diss record? #prettyplease

TWD Tip of the Week: Death, taxes and this podcast.

Episode 170 of That Was Disappointing is Live.

“And now for something completely different…”

Today’s Topic: Beach Towels.

Please bear with us.

Join Art and Lex, as they go *completely* off-topic, talking about the government shutdown (or was it), U.S. Senator deaths/term limits, 2Pac, etc. Yep, we’re rebranding again. Or are we? Depends on the amount of downloads we get for this. Or if we actually come up with a suitable topic in the future. Or if we can get one of our usual cast of characters to join us in the future. We’re not biased though, a new toy is fun too. We don’t bite. #much

TWD Tip of the Week: Orioles Magic, baby! No, it’s not a tip. Still, eat it Yankees/Red Sox fans.

Episode 169 of That Was Disappointing is Live. Oops…

Today’s Topic: Procrastination.

Yeah, that’s the ticket. 

Join Art and Lex, as they talk about their little fu— err, “miscommunication.” Hey, you’re still getting an episode this week, so what are you complaining about? It’s even bite-sized, so you’ll be able to listen to the whole thing on your morning commute. #eatitHowardStern

TWD Tip of the Week: At least one listener has fantasized about having a threesome with us. And if the you haven’t thought about it before… well, you have now.

Episode 168 of That Was Disappointing is Live.

“Ziggy Zaggy, Ziggy Zaggy, Oi Oi Oi!”

Today’s Topic: Happy Hour/Oktoberfest/etcetera.

Look, we’re just looking for an excuse to drink. 

Join Art and Lex, along with a motley crew of their friends/ex-producers, as they down a few and wax nostalgic about their youth. How Chris has managed to stay the same (not sure that’s a compliment) but Father Time has ravaged the rest of us. Between thinning hair, expanding waistlines, “BBJ,” divorce, etc., someone/thing didn’t hold up its end of the bargain. However, at least one thing remains true… our love of booze. #andTheMoneyShot

TWD Tip of the Week: A century before Americans drank during “happy hour,” the French had “the green hour.” Some jokes just write themselves.

Episode 167 of That Was Disappointing is Live.

“All hope abandon ye who enter here.”

Today’s Topic: Rule 34.

Bet you never wanted to know that about Ralphie (from A Christmas Story), huh?

Join Art and Lex, along with their friend Miranda, as they chat about One of the official rules of the internet…if it exists, there is porn of it. Calvin and Hobbes? Yep! Woody Woodpecker? You betcha! Wayne’s World? Schwing! Rugrats? Go directly to Jail. Do not pass GO, do not collect $200! #confusedboner

TWD Tip of the Week: Godzilla is THICC!

Episode 166 of That Was Disappointing is Live.

“We’re all mad here.”

Today’s Topic: Mental health.

Because in a year where we’ve lost Bob Barker and Jimmy Buffett, we could all use a pick-me-up.

Join Art and Lex, along with a few of their certifiable friends (*coughs*), as they chat about the steps you can take to keep yourself sane in this Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad World. A little short on jokes this week, but we make up for it with a whole lot of love. Think of it like those stupid f’n Care Bears radiating light from their belly badges… with a side of that hottie Dr. John Delony thrown in. #studmuffin

TWD Tip of the Week: It’s said 1 in 5 American adults experience a mental health condition in a given year, which means 4 of 5 American adults are full of sh*t.

If you or someone you know is suffering mental health issues or in crisis call 911 or 988 for help. You can also check findhelp.org and mentalhealthfirstaid.org for guidance.

Episode 165 of That Was Disappointing is Live.

It’s not me, it’s you.

Today’s Topic: Divorce.

Tammy Wynette sucks. 

Join Art and Lex, along with their friends ex-producer Kenny and (other) Ken, as they approach this sensitive topic from multiple perspectives. There’s two divorcées (one newly single, one since remarried), a child of divorce and… Art? Please don’t hate him because he’s perfect.  Lex’s “BBJ” instructor once told him that “60% of marriages end in divorce… in the other 40% everyone’s miserable.” #micdrop

TWD Tip of the Week: Look at it this way (if you’re newly single), at least you now have a shot with the likes of Britney Spears, Ariana Grande, Sofia Vergara, etc.

Episode 164 of That Was Disappointing is Live.

Maybe Lex should just get a bullseye on his back?

Today’s Topic: Tattoos Part 2: Electric Boogaloo.

“Regrets, I’ve had a few…”

Join Art and Lex, along with a bunch of the latter’s friends from “BBJ” as they talk about their second favorite hobby… getting inked. However, the topic does veer off course and they do talk about Jiu Jitsu moves you can use in the bedroom. That’s the award winning commentary you can expect from your favorite podcast. Hey, you throw enough shit against the wall, some of it’s gonna stick eventually. Hell, if a room full of monkeys can type out the works of Shakespeare (given an infinite amount of time), who says we won’t provide next week’s winning Powerball numbers. #stonks

TWD Tip of the Week: You can tattoo your eyeballs. Still awaiting confirmation about Uranus.

Episode 163 of That Was Disappointing is Live.

Our spirit animal is the 1989 Fleer Bill Ripken baseball card.

Today’s Topic: Trading cards.

Why did kids stick these in their spokes anyway?

Join Art and Lex, along with their frenemy Ben, as they chat about cards relating to “sports ball,” Garbage Pail Kids and everything in between. Hell, if this podcast ever hits it big, maybe we’ll release our own set. We could even put pictures of our peens on short prints. They’d have to be reverse holos though, if only to draw attention from, err… what we’re packing. #sosmall

TWD Tip of the Week: None of your cards are worth anything, loser.

Episode 162 of That Was Disappointing is Live.

Death, taxes and… heating pads?

Today’s Topic: Aches and pains.

Finally you’ll have something to talk about at your next AARP meeting!

Join Art and Lex, along with the lovely Kelly (all for you, Ghost) and newcomer (and Dr.) James, as they chat about Dr. Sarno, their favorite pains (?) and other benefits of getting older. Like the Early Bird special at Sizzler… if there are still Sizzler locations. Hell, half the stores from our youth no longer exist. They’ve all been replaced by Spirit Halloween stores. Speaking of, do you know what Art’s going to dress as this year? A streaker! #isitcoldout

TWD Tip of the Week: Everything else may be breaking down, but Uranus is still a spectacular sight.
