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 a guest or two about any and all topics — with jokes and ball-busting winning the day. 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...

    Titanic

    Titanic

    Episode 157 of That Was Disappointing is Live.
    You didn’t really think we’d end the show without playing the song, did you?
    Today’s Topic: Titanic.
    Spoiler alert: it sinks.
    Join Art and Lex, along with their friend Kelly and frenemy Ben, as they chat about ill-fated submersibles, Rose’s boobs and Rose being a boob. “It’s been 84 years” since this ship first captured the public eye, and if recent events are any indication, its legend will never die… unlike Jack. #BillyZane4life
    TWD Tip of the Week: 30 minutes without your cohost (and more importantly your soundboard) is weird…

    LA

    LA

    Episode 158 of That Was Disappointing is Live.
    Come for the earthquakes, stay for the wildfires.
    Today’s Topic: LA.
    No, not Louisiana, ya goof.
    Join Art and Lex, along with their friends Ashley (the former’s long-suffering wife), the always lovely Kelly, and Ben & Al (2 frenemies for the price of 1), as they chat all things about the City of Angels. Heck, 5 of the 6 people on tonight’s episode live there or spend most of their time there. Lex is the only lame-o. Shocking, we know. Should he bring his killer “BBJ” skills to the west coast or is there already enough beefcakes in the Beverly Hills zip code? Well, one less now. #RIPDylanMcKay
    TWD Tip of the Week: LeBron sucks!

    McDonald's

    McDonald's

    Episode 159 of That Was Disappointing is Live.
    Ba Da Ba Ba Bah… your arteries are clogging!
    Today’s Topic: McDonald’s.
    Suck it, BK!
    Join Art and Lex, along with their friend Kat and frenemy Ben, as they chat all things Mickey D’s. Unlike the McRib, we’re here every week. Unfortunately, we have the same quality control as the ice cream machine. We can surprise you though…. just like the Grimace Shake. Speaking of, did you know there’s a TikTok Challenge associated with it now. You should totally download this episode (and all of our others) just to get in on the ground floor of the next big trend. #prettyplease
    TWD Tip of the Week: McDonald’s makes over $75 million each day. Nearly as much as Yo Mama!

    Brainstorming

    Brainstorming

    Episode 160 of That Was Disappointing is Live.
    Perhaps we should’ve held a telethon instead.
    Today’s Topic: Brainstorming
    The future of That Was Disappointing that is. No, we won’t do the Full Monty… yet.
    Join Art and Lex as they chat about ideas they have for the That Was Disappointing brand. Can we even call this a brand? You think we’d at least need an official lunchbox or something. I mean, the goal is to eventually have a licensed sex toy like anal beads, but there’s nothing wrong with starting small. If our underwear has taught us anything, it’s that good things come in small packages. #growersnotshowers
    TWD Tip of the Week: Our show will continue to be a good substitute for Metamucil for the foreseeable future.

    Heat

    Heat

    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. #ladies
    TWD 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. ❤️

    Aches and Pains

    Aches and Pains

    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.

What was the question again?

Ironically, a fun way to spend an hour in a non-disappointing manner! Been listening since the beginning, they found their stride in creating content that is entertaining and thought provoking, all the while trying to trample each other on a weekly basis. Some of the episodes are wild and leave you wanting more. Unpredictable and delightful!

Great topics, better guests, lighthearted conversations. Just listen.

A nice break from reality and a time to unwind with some drinks, knowledge guests, intriguing topics, and casual roastings. Give a listen, it won’t disappoint. Many topics to choose from!

Great podcast

Different concept for a podcast, but was funny to listen to. Joe and Art were two of my high school buddies. I see this podcast developing a larger audience.
