The old dude is a carry over from the old ZDNETTV and "tech tv" cable show days who hit it off in the podcast scene due to name recognition amoung other things. he's always come off as a really nice guy and it's nice to hear him curse for a change😀


the other dude is, from what a hear, one of many assholes that run what is in many circles considered a rather elitist tech blog
 
Oh wow, Leo is always the calmest guy ever, I've never seen him get even mildly irritated by anyone. Wow! I :heart: Leo, this won't affect my opinion of him. Arrington is a fucking cock smoker anyway, always has been.

Arrington runs Tech Crunch and is regarded in some circles as a "technoratti" elistist fuckwit.
 
zdtv's The Screen savers was my favorite program to watch, Leo Laporte and Kate Botello. Too bad cnet or whoever ruined it.

Yeah, I've never seen him be anything other than calm and nice before. Its good to know he's capable of getting angry and screaming.
 
he lost it on the tech guy a show or two ago when he went on a rant against godaddy for exploiting women or some namby pamby i'm a feminist man nonsense. his general line of reasoning was about as sound as those who blame video games or rock music for violent children or whatever..patronizing nonsense😛 whenever he gets political it goes down hill fast.
 
but it is true that he has always held the line that he generally buys stuff for reviews. he says this a lot on his show so i can see how he would get pissed about it.

still, its a bit funny to see him curse like that. he generally comes off as the nice uncle guy. sometimes a bit excessively so when he gets a bit bleeding hearty on the air.

he's been doing some crazy airtime, he's on the air hours a day or something, he was bound to crack sooner or later.

He was trolling though. Leo's reaction was totally called for.

Yea someone who has been on TV and is a geek celebrity shouldn't lose it over something like that. I still like Leo though.
 
Wow... I used to watch a lot of the twit live stuff and I have never seen Leo get that angry. I never watch that show live(or listen recorded) anyway... It's full of fucking idiots.

I am surprised.
