What does one say after listening to two old friends discuss a haphazard mix of topics with their rotating panel of guests? We'd say, "that was disappointing," but you might think differently. Each week, Art and Lex, friends from school and masters of nothing notable, sit down to talk with two guests about any and all topics — with jokes and ball-busting winning the day. Producer Dave keeps the proceedings on track...barely. We cannot promise you'll learn something worthwhile, but you will learn something new about us each week. And ain't learnin' about the human condition just the bee's knees? Check us out and you won't be disappointed. Well... Maybe just a little...
Listeners of That Was Disappointing... that love the show mention: joe, cool.
Yo mama so dumb she thinks That Was Disappointing is... something...
Episode 227 is Live.There are just some scenes in film/TV that perfectly adapt the events of a novel. This extends to pornography. More on that next week…TWD Fact of the Day: There is nothing redeemable about The Neverending Story II: The Next Chapter.
Episode 222 is Live.“Butterfly in the sky… my ass can get just as high…” How did we not discuss this during same episode about TV themes!?TWD Fact of the Day: Lex's kid (w/ his recorder) could create a better tune than The Shield theme.
Episode 220 is Live.The west coast is on fire and the east coast is a frozen tundra. George R. R. Martin is sporting a massive hard-on right now…TWD Fact of the Day: The Canary Islands are considered to have the “best” temperatures right now. Just sayin'.Hey, Ghost! Wanna see a F-Art movie? Check out “The Money Shot” on Amazon for only a buck!https://www.amazon.com/Money-Shot-Art-Hall/dp/B08DK1SMWV
Episode 218 is Live.“A bit of fury, Our Christmas Grandma can walk the truth.Absence of demons[Chorus] Oh down the ash of the seeker…”TWD Fact of the Day: The word “carol” is believed to have come from the French word “carole,” which means a dance accompanied by singing. In other news, France sucks.
Episode 217 is Live.Chaos 2: Electric BoogalooTWD Fact of the Day: You podcasters were so preoccupied with whether or not you could, you didn't stop to think if you should.
Episode 213 is Live.“Excuuuuuuuuuse me, princess!”Don't lie, you'd get your left nut for a Legend of Zelda TV show. We're talking that and other video games that have been adopted for film and small screen. I mean, it can't be worse than another retelling of The Office, right?TWD Fact of the Day: “E.T. - The Television Adaptation of The Video Game Adaptation of The Movie Adaptation” would be amazing.
Episode 212 is Live.http://thatwasdisappointing.comYou 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. WTWD 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.http://thatwasdisappointing.comWe'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.http://thatwasdisappointing.comAnd 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.https://suno.com/song/b9200707-9d1f-4797-8d59-f780c7203288https://suno.com/song/eb8d8e23-c8f2-4af8-881e-bc272ad0f08ehttps://suno.com/song/656b316e-a37c-484f-95cc-2526a484392dhttps://youtu.be/Pls4nirb10o?si=mhxMZ8T4miytu1Quhttps://youtu.be/77B3POYSjPY?si=LDCD-RC0Qa-PTjUwhttps://youtu.be/3SyzxwOjnUw?si=Wt_D0uL0lUTZSamz
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)The boys are hiding out in Bolivia, stick around for the classic episode TV.(original notes)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)The boys find trouble in Bolivia then stick around for the classic episode Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.(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. #achybreakyheartTWD 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.(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. #ladiesTWD 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.
Episode 207 is Live.We're talking Medieval Times tonight. It's just a happy-little-accident this episode premieres the day after the House of the Dragon premiere. We're not that forward thinking. And we'd rather talk about “dinner” and a show (featuring a bunch of Renn Faire rejects) anyway. TWD Fact of the Day: Believe it or not, Iron Maiden doesn't rock nearly as much as you remember.
Episode 206 is Live.We're talking Natural Disasters tonight. What's not disastrous? The fact the Lex is once again writing episode bios as we've told him he doesn't have to write as much. #douchenozzleTWD Fact of the Day: 200,000+ people didn't die on account of Hurricane Katrina.
Will Lex provide notes for this? We'll see...Nope.
Episode 202 of That Was Disappointing is Live.G-Man > Titan CameramanToday's Topic: Skibidi Toilet.“Skibidi dom dom dom yes yes, Skibidi taupled dip dip!”Join Art, Lex and Producer Kenny, as they discuss the latest cultural phenomenon. Maybe you grew up watching He-Man, in which case you're as old as dirt. Regardless, this is what the youth of today is obsessed with. We'd say this is proof that Generation Alpha sucks, but it's not like we did a bang-up job rearing them. #getoffourlawnWatch the whole series (as of now) here.TWD Tip of the Week: Suggestions that this is all a fever dream of Mr. Hankey are unconfirmed.
Episode 201 of That Was Disappointing is Live.*flush*Today's Topic: welcome to Toilet Month.We're so sorry.Join Art, Lex and Producer Kenny, as they dedicate the month of May 2024 to toilets. Yep, we went there. Bottom of the barrel for sure, but you have to admit you're intrigued. What's going to be the topic every week? We don't flush and tell. Just know that water is in the horizon. As is death. And something else… #skibidiTWD Tip of the Week: If you still need tips after all of Art's “Toilet Facts,” we can't help you.
Episode 199 of That Was Disappointing is Live.Brickweed.Today's Topic: 4/20.It's already come and gone, but you were in a haze anyway.Join Art, Lex and Producer Kenny, along with a very special “mystery” guest, as they discuss ganja, roach, giggle smoke, etc. Are you down with it? If not, you're a square. Or a wimp (read: Lex). Heck, even Carl Sagan partook in the devil's lettuce and he was into space and sh!t. It's not like it's laced with anything… probably. #onlyliveonceTWD Tip of the Week: Eight-in-ten Americans live in a county with at least one cannabis dispensary. In other news, Wyoming sucks.
198... Joe is really enjoying not doing show notes anymore. That bum.
197... Does anyone read these notes?If so, email pixiestickwang@gmail.com for a special prize!
Welcome to episode 196.We felt we've been silly long enough, time to be mature journalists and bring you hard-hitting news covered with tact and compassion.TWD Tip of the Week: Diversify carefully and invest often and early. Your older self will thank you.
Episode 193 of That Was Disappointing is Live.“You and Me and the Bottle Makes 3 Tonight.”Today's Topic: St. Patrick's Day.Truthfully, just an excuse for all of us (sans the lady) to drink in excess. Holla!Join Art, Lex and Producer Kenny, along with their friends Malicious Miranda and Terrible Tim, as they awkwardly start off an episode (w/o Art), drink in excess and… something. It's hard to have perfect recall given the aforementioned booze, but rest assured, the soundboard eventually returned to save the day. Things just might be a little out of order this episode. And perhaps a tad unintelligible. So par for the course. #winningTWD Tip of the Week: .914% – was the highest ever recorded blood alcohol content. *salutes*
Episode 192 of That Was Disappointing is Live.Why do we celebrate the day or our problems started?Today's Topic: Birthdays.You're old… and fat… and ugly. Deal with it.Join Art, Lex and Producer Kenny, as they chat about the opposite of our Deathdays. I mean, do people even celebrate this b.s. anymore? Heck, we originally dedicated this episode as a celebration for Cosmic Kelly's “big” day and even she couldn't be bothered to join us. Let's face facts. If you're not turning 69, no one cares. #niceTWD Tip of the Week: “Happy Birthday to You” has yet to hit the public domain, unlike your mom. Hi-yo!
Episode 191 of That Was Disappointing is Live.We'd definitely love to talk to you about out your car's warranty.Today's Topic: Scams.Those Nigerian princes are such kind, gentlemen…Join Art, Lex and Producer Kenny, as they chat about the swindles they've perpetrated, the cons they've fallen for and how their pee-pees still only measure 3 inches combined. The biggest fraud ever though? The fact you're still supporting us after nearly 200 episodes. If we had hearts, I'm sure they'd be melting. Just don't talk to us about our actual download numbers. #yourmomhasdownedmoreloadsTWD Tip of the Week: Pump and Dump is a double entendre. Giggity.
