It’s been pretty clear for a while that Lay-oh doesn’t give a shit about any of his shows. Honestly, watch any episode of Triangulation. It’s the one show where he should care and should know something about the guest.
Every single episode is him sitting there with a laptop open to the guest’s Wikipedia page reading factoids aloud. If it’s a book author, he flips through the pages, looking at the pictures and commenting on them like a bored child with a wheezy fake laugh. It’s shameful.
The video above should come as no surprise, but it’s rare to hear truth from Leo Laporte’s mouth.
Is he phoning it in because TWiT’s success is on autopilot — robot downloaders from people who forgot to unsubscribe, gaining unrealistically high Podtrac numbers from people who never listen to the episodes — or is it because it’s the beginning of the end?
I’m a little verklempt; talk amongst yourselves.
