Episode 047: Paranormal

Episode 047 of That Was Disappointing is Live. Even ghosts don’t want this smoke. Today’s Theme: The Paranormal. It’s like if Zak Bagans’ The Haunted Museum and This American Life had a baby.Our first topic is the creepiest story you’ve ever heard from someone. Not everyone has their own tale to tell, but everyone has at least heard a “true” story that happened to a family member/friend. Look, Lex needs an excuse to keep his nightlight, so let’s just humor him.Our second topic is afterlife communication. Kat wants to know if it’s possible or if Miss Cleo was less than reputable. R.I.P. *coughs* Meanwhile, Producer Kenny is all about Ouija board communication. His new friends tell him to burn things, but he’s sure it’s all in good fun.Our third topic is a bit of a mindtrip: Why is something so prevalent not proven? Art and his co-host battle it out because the latter wants to believe and the former is just a douche. Betcha can’t guess who’s responsible for writing these episode summaries, huh?Our final topic is a rehash of the first, only substituting UFO’s for ghosts. Blah blah blah Chris blah blah blah Uranus blah blah blah anal probe. No need for us to grab the low-lying fruit. Let’s just pretend we said something ultra-witty and we can all go on with our day.
