Wide-ranging discussions among members of the editorial board here at TotalDrama have left us bewildered at the blatant hypocrisy that Leo Laporte has employed to explain away to himself and others the “family-friendly” nature of his network.
We’re hoping that the commenters can help us come to grips with these two diametrically-opposing viewpoints shared in the video linked above.
So which is it? Is TWiT indeed a “family-friendly” environment that is safe for kids, or is it a neverending fuckfest filled with f-bombs and other profanity that would make even a digital Jesuit in a religious clownsuit blush?
Any man that helps out his mom with her tech problems is ok in my book. You are a good son Leo

The last three weeks he has had a personal call before TWiT. All with camera on and all show him to be a great guy to fool moron fans. Anyone who thinks he is a good son probably believes he looooooooooves Jennifer, his ex-wife whom he is trying to rip off in divorce.
He believes in saying he is family friendly but also curses like a sailor when he feels like. Nothing he says is anything other than lies.

I saw that, it made me wish I had talked more to my mom, but with a wife and 2 daughters, I’m damn near deaf. They never stop talking.

Your all super jelly of Leo success and wholesome family life and the likes, you wish you had what Leo had. He has a beautiful girlfriend, a successful sexy daughter, smart son and Megan is just great, super great, shes so great, she really knocks it out of the park.

What’s with all the Leo sock accounts defending the imperial tech pundit and obvious hypocrite?

This is speculation, but I wonder if the all these pro-Leo posters are actually just the work of Jeff Needles when he isn’t busy cruising Grindr or helping Lisa turn on her Retina iMac.
Well played, Dizzy Ditz, but I knew you were trolling when you referred to Lisa as beautiful. I wish she would grow out her 80s bangs long enough to mask her entire gruesome, witch-like face.

Best to defer from personal attacks; however she’s got this facial expression that always seems as though she’s in the middle of Kegel Exercises / lucky Leo
Muddy» Quote comment
Seriously, she looks like Skeletor. Maybe I wouldn’t go so far as to call her ugly, but…
Yes I would.

Lets get this straight … Leo’s network is not “family friendly ” hardly , at best, it’s Leo friendly and a joke. Leo doesn’t know what a family is, just breeding and wearing a ring doesn’t make Leo a “family man”. A wild guess here, but after the Laura Burstein affair Jennifer booted Leo out of her bed and that’s when the sliver of darkness entered the TWiT royal kingdom. Why else would Lisa follow Laura??? Leo’s pillow talk revealed the dalliance and Lisa had to keep all orifices on high alert for a future Leo/Laura hook up. To quote Jeri Hall “My mother said it was simple to keep a man, you must be a maid in the living room, a cook in the kitchen and a whore in the bedroom. I said I’d hire the other two and take care of the bedroom bit” Leo found his Jeri Hall.

If you want to protest TWIT’s hypocrisy, do the following: Any product advertised on the network should be purchased using another podcast’s promo code. Odds are, if it’s advertised on TWIT, it’s also on many other podcasts. Find one you want to support and use their promo code. Writing the sponsors will have zero effect.

Additionally I believe deleting feeds from podcatchers etc may impact, as advertisers use downloads as a metric. I had about 75% of the network programs feeding to 2 phones and a tablet. Have trimmed that considerably

True. I like using gfq or andrew or 5by5 or DanSentMe or our new totaldrama code

The question is irrelevant. TWIT is a do as I say not as I do environment. Leo’s even said as much on multiple occasions. The real problem is knowing what the rules are since you can get banned from chat for a simple transgression of agreeing with a host.

Once again, you’re reaching desperately for criticism — anything to try to convince the tiny number of losers who visit this pointless site to hate leo because (let’s be honest) Leo isn’t giving you attention.
Triangulation is an official show with sponsors, subscribers and a prime-time audience.
The New Year’s Eve special was paid for by Leo’s TWiT with no advertising support as a gift to the community. His hilarious F-bombs at the end took place at 2:30am, or something like that.
If you want to be idiotically “consistent,” why don’t you, you know, achieve something and build something like Leo has, instead of being a pathetic ankle-biter, living your worthless life as a parasite and based entirely on the life of someone you hate.
Loser.

“Family-friendliness” is a crutch of the feeble-hearted reality deniers.

Wow! What a concept! You don't like a podcast, you just stop watching or listening and go one one of the ten million podcasters you do like.
That doesn't make sense. It makes more sense to devote your life to lying, trolling, stalking and harassing the podcaster you don't like.
