Father Robert Ballecer does a great job on the TWiT TV Network making LEDs blink, making LEDs blink, making LEDs blink, and also making LEDs blink. Editor’s note: Jimmy Jam pointed out that FMCP also talks about drones incessantly and does native ads for Acer.

But, what some may not know is his storied history at the TWiT TV Network. Never fear; the creepy Jon Kalish, who may or may not be gay for Father Robert Ballecer — not that there’s anything wrong with that — is on the case. The very same Kalish who has a long history of slobbing TWiT’s knob (example 2010, example 2014, example 2016).

Father Robert Ballecer
Fr. Robert Ballecer

In his latest long, sloppy blowjob of an article (archive link), he chronicles the rise of the morbidly obese fake priest from a dumpster diving — that happened — computer builder to a TWiT TV Network personality that makes LEDs blink.

The article also makes the claim that Tom Merritt is to blame for the existence of FMCP on the TWiT TV Network.

And, last but not least, in the article’s introductory section, Jon Kalish quotes an accurate YouTube commenter stating:

“A priest is doing ads? This is the end times.”

Indeed.

  4. I linked to this story in the comments on the previous (Dvorak) article. I tried to send it through the Feedback/Tips link, but it doesn’t seem to be working properly (at least on Safari and Chrome for OSX).

  6. Padre is the only hope for content left on TWIT. Leo’s looking to pull back from hosting duties even more. Even considering Apple fanatic Megan Morrone to take over Windows Weekly. I guess that works if he actually wants to kill it off without being blamed for it. In the meantime it seems Padre’s absence has forced Leo to cover events nobody including him really cares about. Just like his coverage of the Microsoft Surface event in NY he did today. It’s pretty bad when you’ve got someone like Ed Bott telling Leo and Thurrott to shut up so he can hear what Panos Panay is saying. Anyway, yet another example of Leo’s double standard and declining network.

  8. OMFG – the WW that followed the surface announcement spoke volumes about the uselessness of TWiT.

    Leo’s view was “how dare the hated MSFT step into the space so obviously vacated by Tim’s Cook’s iPhone company.

    Paul T kept shaking his head saying, “I’m old school. That’s not a PC. A PC is for running Office.”

    MJ as pathetic as the rest couldn’t wrap hew tiny WordPad brain around the ‘Creatives’ name for the next release.

    All three stuck in the past. If TWiT is a lookback network, well, what’s the point?

    1. Wow, unbelievable. Now I’m going to have to catch that episode to see it for myself.

      I for one loved the Studio. It was also a big spotlight on the lack of innovation at Apple in recent years. They’ve managed to squander the enormous lead Jobs bequeathed them at his death.

      Meanwhile, MS has released a very interesting device for graphic design types (formerly Apple space), and the surface Pro and Book are good business productivity devices. When it comes time to replace my late 2010 iMac, I might be looking at a MS device.

  9. Never heard of this Kalish guy. No wonder he’s sucking up to TWIT. Another nobody to stuff into the gaping holes left by the real talent. That picture of him makes him look like a serial killer or child molester. Not saying he is but considering the shaky ethics and lack of moral judgement displayed by his affection for TWIT it does cast him in a bad light.

    AKA: the perfect replacement for Padre.

  11. The guy who did the Iyaz show with the priest, Bryan was fired along with his brother and there was another purging. No more Elgan or his wife on site, no more Jarvis. The jewish accountant girl is fired too, from the Artisanal picture.

    Hello is TD asleep?

        Yes, but she is still on twit website, looks like they cut a lot of staff and made full timers part time. Obamacare

        Really….really?…..You’re going to blame Leo’s bad business management on Obamacare? Really? You do realize that less than 50 employees are exempt. He’s never had more than 40 and most of those were no doubt “contractors” like Padre.

        No, Leo’s not failing because of social programs you hate. He’s failing because his wife is incompetent and he’s a douche.

        1. Leo has stated, in the very distant pass, that he was providing health coverage for his “staff”, my guess is that now Lisa is running the business, into the ground, TWiT is only providing the the very basic health coverage, and then to the full timers. I’d also hazard a guess , that Megan signed onto the SHiT wagon, in part, because health coverage was part of the deal.

          You have to cover everyone or no one with Obamacare. You can’t give management and owner’s insurance and not offer it to other full-time employees.
