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.
