Season 8 was a wild ride! Just like a rollercoaster, only with more delays and angst. In our Season 8 recap, Ian and Liv are joined by the ever-loved Bob and Kylie for an absolutely thrilling trip down memory lane, while they discuss the last twelve episodes of Disaster Hour. Sit back, relax, take your prescribed antidepressants, and pretend the world isn't on fire for 61 minutes. Also, Ian wants to want to be nice. Kylie is an unexpected winner. Bob reminisces about a country bar. Liv's sub-par...

Chicago really is the perfect cup of tea. In this one, Ian and Liv venture back to the 90s for a week-long heatwave that caught Chicago by surprise. The city's resources were overwhelmed, residents were dying from the suffocating heat, there were no vacancies at the morgue, the mayor was MIA, and the response from city hall was lackluster at best. Also, Ian enjoys hiking just around the riverbend. Liv really feels like she's fitting in.

Calling off work could save your life. In this one, Ian and Liv talk about the Edmund Fitzgerald, a freighter ship on the Great Lakes that sank in 1975. There was a storm, there was tragedy, there was a possibility of aliens! And even though Leo never stared in a movie about it, the disaster left an impressive mark on pop-culture. Also, Liv dances her heart out to Gordon Lightfoot. Ian focuses on murders. Dakota is intimidated by the camera. Otto is napping silently in the living room.

The 1800s were lawless and godless. In this one, Ian and Liv revisit one of their original episodes, involving a bridge collapse in the 1870s, lying, bribery, and good ol' fashioned investigative journalism! Also, Liv flies on planes just to watch The Lego Movie. Ian reintroduces the term "evil-disposed persons." Double also, this is our last remastered episode for a while, so complaints are no longer being heard by the committee at this time.

We're live again! Summer is coming to an end, so Ian & Liv wanted to have one more live show to make the most of the warm weather. Get ready for another live compilation of ridiculous death stories. Also, Ian & Liv use the live episode as a fundraise for Ian's friend, Molly. It was an amazing success!

Mob mentality usually is not the best policy. In this one, Liv's sister Alexa revisits the studio to talk about Ten Cent Beer Night, a promotional MLB game in 1974 where beers were sold for just ten cents a piece. Unfortunately, there was minimal-to-no regulation on how much beer wasdistributed, and the spectators quickly turned Cleveland Stadium in a gladiator arena. Violence, drugs, alcohol, and more violence were the dominating forces of nature that night. Also, Ian has a pocket dimension whe...

Porters are the deadliest of beers. In this one, Ian, Libby, and Bob talk about the London Beer Flood, a disaster in which several massive vats of beer exploded in 1814, releasing a tsunami of beer into the streets of London. A neighborhood was left in shambles, the innocent were killed, and the survivors' behavior was a bit unconventional. Also, Libby wishes she had swam in urine. Bob learns the difference between east and west. Ian defends the morally corrupt.

It's time to address the disgruntled. In this one, Ian and Liv read hate comments from AngryFans, because going out of your way to spread hate is easier than moving on with your life and being happy. But at least it gives Liv and Ian content to ridicule for a half hour! Also, Ian is very smart. Liv is a joy at dinner parties.

Y'all know Liv's collarbone story, right? In this one, Ian and Liv talk about a bunch of waterslide accidents, and a few rollercoaster disasters. From falling off a waterslide, to being impaled by an oncoming rollercoaster, this episode highlights the joys and tragedies of summer vacation! Also, Ian brings Buzz Lightyear onto the Podcast. Liv has a visceral response to the stories.

Generally speaking, following a blueprint is a great idea. In this one, Ian and Liv talk about an 8-story building that collapsed in Bangladesh in 2013. However, during the building's construction, several distinct deviations from the original blue prints were made, which not only compromised the building's integrity, but would cost the lives of more than a thousand innocent people. Also, Liv returns with the maturity of a 9-year-old. Ian hates a popular shopping chain.

Emus and Bloomin' Onions, what more could you want? In this one, Katie fills in for Liv while she's on vacation for a riveting discussion about a war against emus. In 1932, farmers in western Australia were not only plagued with drought and poverty, but also an untimely and massive emu migration. The solution to this problem was, in a word, unique. Also, Katie confuses emus and alpacas. Ian tries out a new accent.

Be careful near bulges, everyone. Season 8 is here! In this one, Ian and Liv talk about the infamous eruption of Mt. St. Helens in 1980. There was lava, lightning, earthquakes, and mudslides (no, not the kind with alcohol). Oh, and there was also a massive bulge. Also, Ian chooses jail time. Liv is obsessed with Katie.
