Episode 121 of That Was Disappointing is Live. We put the garb(age) into vint(age). Today’s Topic: Collectibles. Nipple tassels count, right? Join Art, Lex and their friend Michael, as they chat about the Crown Jewels of their individual collections and the agony of realizing it’s no longer in mint packaging. Survey says we all collected something or another (even boogers) as children, and odds are we through something away that was valuable… dummy. #backtothecoalmines TWD Tip of the Week:...

Episode 120 of That Was Disappointing is Live. You’re gonna need a cold shower after this one… Today’s Topic: Personal hygiene. Why you’re coming to us for advice is anyones guess. Join Art, Lex, and their friend Ken, as they chat about their freshness or lack thereof. And hey, we cover fisting and hemorrhoids too. We’re a jack of all trades when it comes to advice. You should definitely jump off that bridge, BTW. #peerpressure TWD Tip of the Week: Last week’s suggestion was prophetic, so...

Episode 119 of That Was Disappointing is Live. And now for something completely different… Today’s Topic: Hodgepodge Part XXVI (or thereabouts). From nuclear war to vacation plans, we’ve got you covered. You think we’re joking!? Join Art and Lex as they meet for their first-ever daytime convo. The former had (bull)shit to do, so our recording schedule was a little wonky (and sober) this week. Being a teetotaler sucks. At least we’re high on life. But not glue. 😞 #pickedthewrongweek TWD Tip...

Episode 118 of That Was Disappointing is Live. Our viewership is harder to find than one of those 12-foot skeletons from Home Depot.  Today’s Topic: Fall. The one time of the year that wearing a hoodie is apropos… weirdo.  Join Art, Lex, and their guests ex-producer Kenny (!), Ryan and Kelly, as they talk about the season that’s not too hot or too cold but somewhere in between. Here’s hoping you enjoy all two weeks of it before it turns into the dead of winter. It feels like the mild seasons...

Episode 117 of That Was Disappointing is Live. Answer: What is this podcast? Today’s Topic: Weird Human Behaviors. (aka Joe Has OCD) HA! See what we did there? R.I.P. Alex Trebek. Join Art, Lex, and their guests Ben and Kat, as they chat about some of the oddball things related to the human experience. For example, why did Lex’s laptop decide to crap out, making this a total shitfest of a recording session? Isn’t Kat too glamorous for this show? Why do we keep Ben around? And Art… never...

War
Episode 116 of That Was Disappointing is Live. We missed a golden opportunity to use Ride of the Valkyries as our intro music… Today’s Topic: War. Shouldn’t all our tax dollars go into cloning Chuck Norris for this endeavor? Join Art and Lex (no guests this time as they’re all flower children) as they debate war… good thing neither of them has access to nuclear weapons. Hey, cooler heads will prevail in the world and we’ll all join hands and sing “Kumbaya,” right? For the record, we’re being...

Episode 115 of That Was Disappointing is Live. Tell us more about this belly button lint collection… Today’s Topic: Leisure. As if you needed another reason to sit on your ass, ya oaf. Join Art, Lex, and their guests Ashley (the former’s despondent wife) and Kat, as they chat about their favorite hobbies, least favorite hobbies and everything in between. Like, did you know geocaching is a thing? I mean, you’re likely to get eaten by a bear but you do you, boo. To be fair, with the current...

Episode 114 of That Was Disappointing is Live. Alice Cooper sang, “School’s been blown to pieces.” We’re not gonna touch that one with a ten-foot pole.  Today’s Topic: Back to school. Hey, are Trapper Keepers still a thing? Join Art, Lex, and their guests Ashley (the former’s despairing wife) and Ben (the latter’s frenemy) as they discuss the drizzling sh!ts that’s the academic calendar. Was everyone Pizza Day on Friday? Did any one else’s cafeteria serve Fiestata? Why did I write this in...

Episode 113 of That Was Disappointing is Live. The meaning of life is not to die at your desk, right? Right!? Today’s Topic: Bad jobs. Surprisingly, fluffer didn’t make the list. Join Art, Lex, and their guests Kelly (yay!) and Ben (boo!), as they discuss some of the worse positions they’ve ever held. Remember when you thought nothing could be worse than school? LOL But hey, you’ve still got your youth (or not) and vigor (flaccid eggplant), so that’s something. How long is a socially...

Episode 112 of That Was Disappointing is Live. The Mothman predicted this podcast… Today’s Topic: Cryptids. Like Fox Mulder, we want to believe. Like Dana Scully, we’re skeptical and also hotties! Join Art, Lex, and their guest Miranda as they discuss the creatures that may or may not exist on the fringes of society. Hey, remember a hundred (or so) episodes ago when we watched a porno featuring Bigfoot. We’re not saying that special moment wasn’t the inspiration for this episode… but we’re...

Episode 111 of That Was Disappointing is Live. Who ordered a sausage fest with a side of sexiness? Today’s Topic: Celebrity Sex Tapes. Rule 34. ‘Nuff said. Join Art and Lex as they welcome two guests this week (Al and Ben) for this very special episode. We’re bringing sexy back. Dad bods are in fashion, right? Hell, since we recorded this episode, Tommy Lee (not Jones) is in the news again for another picture of his wang. #topical TWD Tip of the Week: Milk, Milk, Lemonade, Around the...

Episode 110 of That Was Disappointing is Live. We’re the black fly in Alanis Morissette’s Chardonnay. Better than a death row pardon two minutes too late… Today’s Topic: Alcohol and Hangovers. Hey, drink enough and I promise you we’ll both start to look good. ❤️ Join Art and Lex and guest Kevin as they chat about booze and it’s aftermath. The former we can’t get enough of, the latter makes us hate our existence… until we decide to imbibe again. It’s a very abusive relationship. Just like...

Episode 109 of That Was Disappointing is Live. Yeah, 6-hour car rides are the pits, but you could spend that time binging our show. Try not to laugh so hard you run off the road! Today’s Topic: Vacations. “I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere. Not like here. Here everything is soft and smooth.” We’re so sorry… Join Art and Lex and new guests Anastasia and Michael as they chat about vacay. You know, the thing we save up hundreds (if not thousands)...

Episode 108 of That Was Disappointing is Live. We’ve got more staying power than Pan Am. Today’s Topic: Air Travel. The TSA agents have given us more action than we’ve seen in a long, long time.  Join Art and Lex and new guest Miranda as they chat about everyone’s least favorite part of vacation. I mean, unless you prefer endless layovers and paying hundreds (if not thousands) of dinero for a bag of peanuts, thimble full of cola and zero leg space. Speaking of Miranda, it’s Art’s worst...

Episode 107 of That Was Disappointing is Live. Hey, did you know it only took the deadliest pandemic in a century to bring us into your homes? Today’s Topic: COVID-19. This thing has more staying power than Justin Timberlake! Join Art and Lex as they chat about the longest two weeks to flatten the curve ever. Oh, those blissful days of yore when everyone gave each other a six-foot berth. How we romanticize that time… because we’re anti-social, get it? #wockawocka TWD Tip of the Week: The...

Episode 106 of That Was Disappointing is Live. Let’s be honest, we’re ALL on the naughty list. Today’s Topic: Holidays. If Thanksgiving is late this year, we riot! Join Art, Lex, and Ben (Happy Hanukkah!) as they chat about their favorite holidays, their sexiest Halloween costumes and the best place to hide an Easter egg that doesn’t involve your ass. #goodtimes TWD Tip of the Week: Only 167 shopping days until Christmas. That’d be accurate information if you downloaded this episode (and...

Episode 105 of That Was Disappointing is Live. New season, same b.s. You know you love us. Today’s Topic: Producers. We’ve got a new one (Hi Dan!)… until we don’t (Bye Dan?)… it’s awkward. Join Art, Lex, and a cavalcade (back-to-back weeks, baby!) of guests as they chat with our brand new (and now dearly departed) Producer. What is it that drives him over the edge? Art’s luscious locks? Lex’s innate sexiness? Or perhaps he’s just a quitter? If there’s one silver lining, we’re now only one...

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...

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...

Episode 091 of That Was Disappointing is Live. “Human sacrifice! Dogs and cats living together! Art having a kid. Mass hysteria!” Today’s Theme: Fatherhood. Specifically, the trials and tribulations our friend has to look forward to. What do you mean babies can’t just use the litter box? While he doesn’t have the same smarts or sex appeal as Danny Tanner (R.I.P. Bob Saget), Art decided to give this whole parenting thing a try. Wait — between Lex and Producer Kenny, who’s the Uncle Jesse of...

Episode 090 of That Was Disappointing is Live. Getting back to themed episodes. It’s like we have a plan or some shit. Today’s Theme: Space. Yeah, we’re double dipping with this topic but a) new format ya mooks b) there’s a lot of shit currently going on above the Karman line and c) Twi’lek sex. That last point might not be covered but it’s still perfectly valid. The good news: Friend-of-the-show Kelly joins us to talk about some of the big things happening in E.T.’s backyard. The even...

Episode 089 of That Was Disappointing is Live. We didn’t give up on our new format after one week. Huzzah! Today’s Theme: Errr… I guess the topic is Ben? We’re still feeling out this new format too, ya jerks. Double the laughs in half the time. That’s what we’re telling ourselves at least. Hell, this episode is worth it alone for the perplexed looks we receive from one of our (least) favorite returning panelists, the always lovely, Ben. Don’t worry, we actually have a topic prepared for...

Episode 088 of That Was Disappointing is Live. “Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes, Turn and face the strange…” R.I.P. David Bowie (AKA: Thin White Duke). This episode isn’t about you (and you’ve been dead for 5+ years) but you’re forever in our hearts. Today’s Theme: Out with the old, in with the new. We’re revamping things for the apocalypse. Huzzah! There’s lots of things happening with the podcast. Art’s having a baby. Lex is running off to train “BBJ” with the Garcia’s in Brazil (doesn’t he mean...

Episode 087 of That Was Disappointing is Live. If the choice were listening to this podcast or getting eaten by a grizzly… well, take all the time you need. Today’s Theme: Camping. You know, the thing we’ll all be doing more of (w/ our caravans) after the bombs start to fall in… 3… 2… Our first topic is a special from one of our dim-witted hosts: Why? Lex has never been camping, so he doesn’t allure the rest of us weirdos have about it. Of course, he’s also led a sheltered life, so he...

Episode 086 of That Was Disappointing is Live. As Winston Churchill once said, “Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” Pffft! What does that jerkoff know? Today’s Theme: Topic Grab Bag. Totally taking a trip down memory lane with this one. Definitely NOT doing this because something went awry with the scheduling. No sirree, Bob! Our first topic is a meditation on the delicate art of ball/bush shaving. Yeah, it hurts but it’s not the 70’s anymore… hippie. Art went...
