Episode 043: Nostalgia

Episode 043 of That Was Disappointing is Live. We’re now less than 600 shows away from catching up with The Simpsons. Huzzah! Today’s Theme: Nostalgia. Like sands through the hourglass, so are the dregs of our lives...Our first topic is what food stuffs we’re nostalgic for. Kate, it’s probably best not to ask the crew this question when we’re operating on an empty stomach, just an FYI. Did someone mention Hostess Fruit Pies? For the live of God, please tell me someone mentioned Hostess Fruit Pies!?Our second topic is related to anemoia. That is, nostalgia for a time you’ve never known. Apparently, Art is sick of us teasing him about his film topics, so he’s making us pull out a f*cking Webster’s, just to figure out what he’s even asking about. Producer Kenny, don’t make us jettison you as well...Our third topic is something you loved in your youth... only to realize it sucks now. We all look back on the way things used to be with rose-tinted glasses, be it prior relationships or memories from our youth. For example, Lex’s love of Picture Pages, Fat Albert and The Cosby Show, have definitely taken a wrong turn. Jinkees!Our final topic is your go-to nostalgia that raises your spirits. So, Todd saw the name of our podcast, correct? Ain’t nothing out there that can rescue us from the doldrums of this dreary existence. That us, nothing other than Hostess Fruit Pies. Seriously though, does anyone know if those massive/delicious f*ckers are still around?
