Leo Laporte Admits He Rode John C. Dvorak’s Coattails

This will be my final article and video. Others do still have access to post, even though they haven’t been, so I can’t say this is the site’s last post.

So long, and thanks for all the fish.

Thanks to a reader tip, we have the footage above from 2001.

Leo Laporte admitted then what we all still see is true today.

He is a washed-up DJ masquerading as a tech expert.

Additionally, he rode John C. Dvorak’s coattails into the position he finds himself in today, subsequently tossing John under the bus.

Mere Mention of Leo Laporte on a Podcast Evokes a Dick Joke

We joked a lot about Leo Laporte displaying his dick for all to see on The Tech Guy. These days, it’s mostly old news, especially since he’s moved on to displaying vaginas and sexually harassing his female co-host.

But, that doesn’t mean the event doesn’t live on in the collective consciousness of the internet. Indeed, when playing a Leo Laporte clip complimenting the Jupiter Broadcasting Network’s Linux Action Show, Leo says “I love those guys.”

Their immediate response: childish giggling and a compliment about his penis. The clip is above, but it’s available on the YouTube copy of Coder Radio #225.

It’s time to let it go, guys. Leo is more than a stubby phallus. He is a living, breathing dumpster fire of a man with many more flaws than his inability to separate work and personal life.
