Perhaps more accurately, Leo Laporte’s editors and technical directors regret him mentioning dick pics.
During one of his regularly scheduled copyright infringement sessions, he made a crass joke relating to sending sexually explicit text messages to others using new features of iOS 10’s iMessage.
The editors poorly removed the mention by blurring his mouth and silencing the audio, but left in Megan Morrone’s juvenile laugh.
Thanks to a tip from a reader for sending in the clip for this video.
Loud and proud..That’s the way..*LoL* Fitting..a Dick for a Dick..

Nice post.
I really like TD. I just wish it would post more often. Is there any way to update the site more frequently?

Leo is apparently proud of his dick pics and give zero fucks about it. Sadly, it appears his advertisers also don’t care. Has there been any repercussions to date from this? I’m still waiting for advertisers/sponsors to drop out and TWiT to continue it’s downward spiral loosing more “talent” but the TWiT ship is still sailing. WTF?

Have you not been watching for years its been sinking for a while even the Titanic took a good long time to sink. The most clear evidence of the sinking of TWIT is this new studio move which is much like being on the Titanic and then getting in a life raft and still pretending your on a luxury cruise liner when your more screwed then not.

Financial update on the new TWiT studio. 22:30mins, episode 1295 of The Tech Guy! podcast. Leo claims to be sinking $500,000 in to the new studio.

As soon as Leo starts complaining about how much things costs, he’s basically bragging . A clue that the numbers he’s mentioning are way exaggerated.
Also, the fact that he’s complaining about costs, clearly says enough about his skills as a businessman. He should be proud that he’s able to invest (the right term) this much.
He’s having such a hard time not to sound extremely stupid and inconsiderate.

I don’t know any adult men within 20 years his age who talk about dick pics and stuff like that as much as Leo.

And I don’t know any one that talks about sending them to everyone in their family.
He is truly unique!

If Leo could manage it he would transmit them to the world…
…he’s gotten close, but no cigar. Only managed it to a few million or so but mostly via Totaldrama’s work to highlight it.

Megan is a real feminist. She is a coward if she didn’t say anything.
Another woman saying it’s ok for an employer to make comments about dick pics. But she is the first one to stand up for woman and woman’s rights and anti discrimination. She is FULL OF SHIT. Men can not speak this way in front of employees.
I don’t want my sons and daughters to have bosses who talk about dick pics and sex in front them. Megan is saying it’s ok.
Thanks Megan and fuck you.

In the past I have defend Megan in the TD comments.
I can’t believe she allows this. She should tell him not do that on air, live.

She’s still not aware that she’s being associated with this kind of behavior. Allowing this to keep happening makes her partly responsible also.
Fry» Quote comment
She just fuels his sick mind by laughing and not calling him out. I don’t know how she can live with herself.
TheTruth» Quote comment
Meghan letting Leo do this sends a clear message to everyone (20,000 men woman and children) who sees it that this behavior is ok. And many men watching will think that if this was ok, maybe they can make a joke about women on their knees in their workplace.

Meghan is a fraud, she is always talking about equality and social justice and what everyone else does wrong but when it comes to real life, she could care less. And do not tell me she said something privately to him. This is a public fuck you to woman by Leo.

Seems to me that the remaining twit employees are the ones that have real obligations and need a jobs bad enough to put up with and enable this abhorrent/abusive behavior from the chief twit. I don’t watch twit anymore ever since JCD left, he was the only one calling out LL’s b.s. All he seems to do is regurgitate other people’s hard work. What a blowhard!
P.S. Has anyone seen any proof of the so called new studio being built? Where are all the webcams showing all the progress of the new studio being built. Oh wait it’s probably LLs garage with a green screen lol. The aforementioned $500k could be to upgrade his tub?
Just my opinion.
TYFYC

In my opinion this is the problem at its core. Nobody’s left to step up to L&L behavior and brainfarts. This duo is probably also the reason why talented people aren’t up for a job at TWiT anymore (or willing to show up in person at a TWiT show)
Such a shame

I really hope this comes to pass as the fall term begins. It is what I have genuinely thought and said would happen now since I first heard of the move a year ago. Whatever takes place, it shall be very interesting.
TYFYC and passion Mark. Keep pushing.

I guess we hate hate current TWiT and Leo’s behavior, because we know how great it once was and could have be.
I still watch various TWiT shows frequently, simply because there are few substitutions and often they have fun moments.
But there’s not one show going by without you, as a viewer, being irritated, angry, bored or simply puzzled.
The TWiT Live Special shows always guarantee to give you all four emotions.
I strongly believe that at its core, TWiT is able to become great again. Of course that would take some serious consequences for quite a few people. But that’s another story.
This video clearly shows, once again, that Leo
– is out of touch with his audience
– has very little respect for his viewers, guests and employees
– surrounds himself with “yes” say-ers
– loves his image as “dirty old man (that has enough money to get away with it)”
– has no intention to step up his game
– still considers himself, his company and staff as something related to journalism
Fry» Quote comment
That’s certainly wishful thinking but nothing really suggests he has any intention of trying to bring the operation back to anything respectful. As his reputation spirals down into the toilet he is hoarding all he can before he files for bankruptcy. By the time he files Chapter 11 he will have figured out how to shield his assets (assuming there are any left) from his creditors. The radio show days are numbered in light of iHeartMedia’s impending bankruptcy. When that cash cow dries up he won’t be around much longer and CeHo will be packing up her demon child and moving on to the next schmuck whose business needs “saving”. Good riddance you inappropriate fat fuck.

Well put!!
Yup “ManTranny” aka CEHo will drop his fat wrinkly ass in a sec if LaFucks monies dries up
those two deserve each other
anyone hear if ManTranny is getting his/her Adam apple removed soon?
and maybe his/her nutsack lifted since he/she is getting older it will be hanging lower than his/her hemline
fuck U leo

In fact the plans to make TWiT the loss making failed business entity and the “Art Is Anal” or whoever the advertising sales company is named a separate financial entity is already done. He can blame the business failure on having to relocate from the current premises and never recovering from the cost of the relocation.
We all noticed that as the move really starts to progress Leo decides it’s time to take a mini-vacation and not be around. We can bet that if anything goes wrong he will look for a victim to shove out the nest and make an offsite producer and slim the costs down even further.

Following the drama about the new studio (weren’t they planning on being in there in July?) is more interesting than this.
TD has been riding the dick pic for far too long. There is better shit going on. Watching the Screen Savers turd circling the bowl is much more amusing. Ridiculing the guests is also more fun.

Did anyone else catch the Home Theater Geeks podcast with that ‘Film Composer’ guy being interviewed? How Scott managed to get through an hour or so trying desperately to get a story out of a guy who writes a few songs for his brother’s short YouTube videos is anyone’s guess. WELL DONE SCOTT!!

Home Theatre geeks cannot stand on its own… Its survival is only due to Scott’s awesome skills of brown nosing and stroking Soup’s ego.
WELL DONE SCOTT!!

If gossip in the twit shit house is to be believed Scott has been known to stroke something else for Leo too.

I tunned out of HTG long ago, after hearing the umpteenth explanation of dynamic range by Scott, the difference in t.v.’s blackness levels, I swear that’s all he ever talks about. And I have nothing against Scott, but damn he does brown nose the chief twit so much it’s blatant, LL just uses him to sub in for him when he takes his super expensive vacations, get a clue Scott! SMH
Just my opinion…
I.T.M. everybody!

Actually Scott was so shitty at being guest host, the radio execs told soup that he was too crappy, even for “TTG”!

A fine example of classless people complaining someone else is classless. I’m talking about the commenters here, not the post itself.
The post itself had the wrong focus. Yes, what Leo said on the live stream deserves a mention, but remember he’s a pundit, and that is not really that odd for a pundit. The remark actually has a point. The main story not properly written is that the editors ducked up the edit. That’s sloppy and not professional. Either leave in place, or properly remove it. Half assery is for amateurs, not professionals.

This post is another example of why I don’t like the guy/gal doing the posting now.
**First of all, the headline makes no sense. No one regrets anything in the video or post. Why would you have a title that has nothing to do with the article?
** Secondly, the post missed the sexual harassment issue which everyone mentioned in the comments.
**Lastly what is his point about the editors? They did a blur and dropped the audio as any editor would do after being told to leave the video in its entirty. What more could anyone do?
Old Jeff Jarvis» Quote comment
Just a guess, but perhaps TNJJ is referring to the clumsy edit where “dickpic” was removed from.the video because soup “regretted” saying it. Otherwise why would that comment be excised?

Where was the sexual harassment? Are men not supposed to mention dick pics in front of women? It’s pretty clear dick pics happen, and a comment was made to that point. Where was the sexual harassment?
