There’s not much to say here. Leo Laporte reiterated that nothing of value was in the past week’s coverage, nor was there any interesting content in the week ahead. It’s rare that we agree with #Soup.
Leo seemed visibly angry when the editors included the clip of him being mercilessly trolled on his nationally syndicated radio show. Someone may be about to become an offsite editor.
This clip came to us courtesy of an anonymous contributor again. Thank you for your courage.
Agreed, stopped listening a month ago, tried to listen to one macbreak weekly since then, but soup was too much to bear. Narsacitic clunt. His sex antics with his CEO wife is also nauseating. Hey Leo (we know you read these) your network is all but done.

Talking about the CeHO, I watched The New Screen Savers for the first time on Saturday and it was painful to watch and more painful to see the gold digging monster lurking around Frederick Van Johnson. It was rather grotesque, expected the poor guy to be mounted by her there and then.

TNSS has been on for over a year and a quarter now. It was that (last weekend) bad from the first episode. It NEVER got better. Leo isn’t concerned with improving. He is concerned with progress but only if it is of no inconvenience to him or his pocketbook.
Leo’s idea of progress is changing his twitter icon to whatever-the-fuck run- of- the -mill fad is grasping at the collective hearts and minds of the tech horny and this, missus and gents, is unfortunately a dumpster fire situation. I don’t know what the answer is. Frankly, I’ve stopped looking for it. I have lost faith in humanity and my brethren. It can be restored but it will take GENUINE SINCERITY.
HEY LAPORKE, FUCK YOU, how do you like that?

Looks like slurpy soupmeister is off the rails hahaha, serves him right for being such a narcissistic, shallow and superficial person. What piece of work this dude is, so hard to watch, every conversation he makes it about himself, too much to bear. Good luck in your new studio, no one will watch by then.
ITM and TYFYC!

I’m proud to say I haven’t watched regularly for a couple years. I do tune in for a brief glimpse of TNSS when I’m working on weekends (usually only watch a few minutes to realize that, despite owning a complete studio, Leo’s gang of incompetent fools still don’t know how to broadcast a live show without 20 minute breaks between segments).

“Breaks” which should be a real break but it’s just Leo talking . I turn on the new screen savers every week for about 1 minute to see if I can catch a glimpse of what used to be but nah

Actually, there shouldn’t be any ‘breaks’ visible to the viewer. They should be broadcasting 5-10 minute pre-recorded segments, as I have suggested via the chat but was summarily told off by the TWiT sheep finding excuses for Leo’s incompetence. They actually suggest that the old TechTV had the benefit of commercials for the breaks between segments…..don’t recall 20 minute commercial breaks on that old TV network.

You are correct. Everything about his network just stinks. It’s depressing because I used to love it so much…like around 2008 and listened all the way through about 2012-2013

they used to have the lame twit bits crap constantly playing a loop of clips from the weeks shows but they barely updated it and was lame as fuck.

Yes, TNSS is not even comparable to the original. Why? Because the original had actual real producers and people who knew how to do such a show. AND THAT WAS NOT LEO. Leo is a low-end video podcaster not a broadcaster who can do a TV show like that. He is an incompetent bonehead who needs a lot more professional support than he gets from his staff of minimum wage lackeys.
The original show was daily and rocked compared to Leo’s vapid version.
The entire Twit network is amateur hour.

Yawsa. I remember one time slash and I were on tour opening up for Aerosmith and Steven Tyler came in and said… back, back.. dude looks like a lady..
Well that is ironic, because, Mrs. Laporte looks like Steven Tyler.
Anyway I digress.
My good friend Paul Simon said he went out to dinner with Mr. Laporte, and he was trying to prove himself the whole time.

I heard you killed it when you played shows with AC/DC but I heard that the GNR summer tour sucks, at least the stop in Kansas City. Too bad you boys can’t play nice enough to rockk your jukebox one last time for the fans that will still pay to come out and see you. You have a KICK-ASS catalog of songs and it really is a shame.
I saw you and Metallica in ’91 or ’92, first concert I ever attended. I won a bet against my father for those tix. He took me and hated it. I couldn’t get enough.
Anyway, I digress, I AM sorry that you suck now. You are a disappointment, kinda like Leo.

The entire TWiT Network (Tech Guy included) provides nothing of value whatsoever. Biggest time waster ever. Old lonely people who what something on “in the background” to keep them company are far better off listening to the many other podcasts that inform, entertain and enrich their lives. TWiT doesn’t none of that. It never has and never will.

Leo is a piece of shit. He told the story of how he and his horse of a wife paid $800 to get high once.
Then there was Alex Wilhelm who told us he buys his pot through an app, gets it delivered to his house and half and hour later he’s sleeping like a baby.
Then Mike Elgan told us about how being a digital nomad, I mean digital hobo, is the best way to live.
Problem is none of these people are interesting, yet they insist on telling us about their lives. Fuck you Leo, can’t wait for you to get your Tesla and land it in a ditch because you put it on autopilot to dig your lunch out of a mason jar.

Leo, why don’t you start finding answers to questions rather than blurting out dumb questions that the panel and the ENTIRE audience already knows but for some got forsaking reason, because you live on mars the entire rest of your life when you are not on camera?
Apparently you don’t have access to this new network we here on earth call “the internet”.
What kind of `journalist` are you? A very bad one.
You know no facts, you are un-prepared, you derail the show more than anyone.
Watching or listening to your content is a complete waste of time. One does not come away with any value. Just time lost.
Do you not have any pride in what you do? Do you not feel any responsibility what so ever to do your job well? All of us here on earth, we like to do our jobs well. You do not get a free pass. Anyone could do what you do. Sit there in front of the camera, blurting out dumb questions, and reading other people’s articles.
To sum it up: You suck.
Your’s Truly,

Oh P.S.
I hear Howard Stern the other day, If you don’t know who he is: He’s the most successful radio broadcaster in history. And one thing about HS is he always wants to serve the audience, that is his key to success.
Anyways, he said anyone who considered themselves a professional should NEVER, EVER, eat on microphone. It’s the most disrespectful thing you can do.
So, hey, if you don’t respect us, why should we have any respect for you? Feel free to leave me the answer to why your disgruntled audience should respect you when you disrespect our time, and our ears?

Leo is not happy, the ratings are dropping on stitcher and iTunes, and on YouTube TWiT is starting to have trouble crossing the 4K view threshold.
I can barely hate watch. Even the hosts are bored to death.
No one goes on twit anymore. Recode and the verge and everyone else has their own show and since Leo won’t do their shows they no longer do Leos. Hosts cancel all the time and guests do too. The audience is next in line to not care.
Lisa you have a plan? Any deals with cable channels?

Leo is a douchebag and everyone who knows him, hates him. He said so himself when he lamented having no friends.
He’s a psycho and a pathological liar according to his ex-wife.

He’s a pundit btw. Not a journalist. This is exactly what pundits do.
