It’s sadly not uncommon to see Leo Laporte decimating the reputation (and allowing others to do so) of hosts over and over and over at TWiT.
In this installment, we present Leo Laporte insulting Mike Elgum for his ridiculous affinity for Google+. The Mike Elgum robot has the following properties:
- It can barely pronounce its own name.
- It’s unable to make it through promo reads.
- It does the worst “live coverage” we’ve ever seen.
- It says “taint” over and over on-air.
- It can’t even close a simple cardboard box.
- It thinks it’s a cord cutter even though it subscribes to cable (thanks to a commenter for pointing this one out).
Perhaps the most egregious example of how bad Mark Elgam is at his job is when he was fooled by an obvious hoax and Demetri Martin impersonator Megan Morrone laughed at him.
None of this stops Elgum from posting bukkake-ish photos to Google+ on what he calls his “blog” on a regular basis. That is the only thing that can raise Leo Laporte’s ire apparently, not the fact that Mark is really bad at his job.
Maybe you want to tell us what the insult was. People like me who love Leo don’t get it.

Leo doesn’t give a damn about his “fans”. But it’s okay, continue loving him and sucking that dick. Just keep in mind that Lisa will never let you get too close.

Like I said, making fun of Elgan/Elgum is like picking on a retard.
Please fire him and put his poor soul out of misery or, even better, shut down all of twat-network for good.

It’s definitely time to put Gum out of his misery. He should go back to fixing lawnmower motors. He’ll be much happier and he’ll have all the French fried potatoes he wants.

Speaking of worthless hosts, where the fuck did #soup find that filthy hillbilly, Jim Daryimple (or however you spell that stupid name) on today’s “Macbreak Weekly”? Looks like he hasn’t bathed in a year. Probably missing teeth, too.
Jesus Christ #soup had “sylvester the cat” on Sunday’s TWIT and now this user. How much lower can he go?

Hahaha Sylvester!
That Jim Dalrymple is some Apple tech pundit god, one of those select bloggers who have a direct line to Tim Cock. Why he looks like he belongs on Duck Dynasty I’m not sure, probably a druggie of some sort.

Just a head’s up: I’m gay and would totally “take one for the team” if anyone can help me with Mike’s Grindr/Scruff profile name.

Patrick just gives him a look like “I guess there’s no ‘off’ position on the douchebag switch”.

Patrick Norton will show up for any dog and pony show he can. It gets him on camera. It only shows he makes poor decisions about whom he associates himself with.
Harkonnen Mentat» Quote comment
He was a drunk for years. Of course his brain is devoid of clear thoughts.
oinkers» Quote comment
I like Norton. Over the years he’s clearly had the sense to know better than put his livelihood on the line with any kind of substantial working arrangement with Leo Laporte himself (DL.TV, Revision3, TekThing, This Week in Computer Hardware).

At the end of WW today, MJ announced breaking news to which LL without missing a beat asked if it was about the Pope? Then just proceeded to mock and crack wise comments in a disrespectful way. Wow man this guy will do anything for a cheap laugh. Hope someone caught that bit and posts it, unbelievable!

The fact that this lame post was made and they don’t put another one up shows why my peoples are conquering you. You are all lame. Leo and Lisa understand this and a trailblazing their cultures for my peoples to take over.
