G+_Stephen Styffe Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I'm not usually the one to post here about how I didn't enjoy this week's TWiT, but I have to say that I did not enjoy this week's TWiT. I'm with Matt Lyons on this. I know I'm going to get a ton of heat from people, but I'm willing to speak my mind and not let mono-culture shut out my opinion. I don't like trashing other people, but I don't feel that Jolie or John are adding anything of value to the conversation that both Leo and Dwight were trying to produce. I was 25 minutes into the episode and I finally had to stop watching it because it was unbearable. Again, I don't believe in trashing other people, particularly just because of their opinions, but Jolie and John have this vibe that tells me that they don't like technology at all. (If you don't like technology, don't cover it. It's as simple as that.) I've learned now not to watch any show with John or Jolie on it, because no real conversation will happen. They dominate the show with their completely one-sided opinions that lack balance or objectivity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_David Pick Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I've followed Leo and John for 10 years now. I'm surprised how many people wish John not be on the show. Everyone is entitled to their opinion Steven and I won't give you any heat about it. I just would ask whoever schedules the guest, to not schedule John and Jolie together. Leo may like a challenge, but their maybe to much friction with the show with them together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Brian Gilbert (Ned Jaco Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I haven't heard this episode yet, but I've always enjoyed listening to Jolie & John. It's an entertaining show. I guess it's a bit of something for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Jon Carney Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Honestly, I enjoyed this episode more than the previous 2. There was a lively discussion, and I laughed on more than one occasion. While the discussions on the past couple of shows were good, I can't say I laughed at all. A discussion of the week's tech news is all well and good, but I also enjoy some entertainment. That being said...I do appreciate that John didn't mention "code babes" on this episode. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Bryan-Mitchell Young Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I like Jolie even if I think some of her paranoia is unwarannted. At least she will engage instead of just saying something is "bogus" or a "scam" and denying constantly spouting conspiracies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_John Boileau Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Steven, get a life, this was great entertainment, with a little bit of tech, it was GREAT, it does not have to be boring tech all the time. Loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Stephen Styffe Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 John Boileau You're watching TWiT for entertainment?! TWiT stands for This Week in Tech, not This Week in Entertainment. Go elsewhere for better entertainment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Jon Carney Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 +Steven Styffe, yes I am. I find the interaction between the hosts entertaining. When there's no chemistry, it's dull. It's like listening to the PBS News Hour (which I listen to and love, but it ain't what I'd call fun). TNT and BOL were great shows because of the chemistry between the hosts. I don't enjoy TNT as much as I used to because of the format change (no slight on Mike whose a great reporter). It's now the PBS News Hour of tech. Full of great information, but kinda dull.

G+_Stephen Styffe Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 Jon Carney What I mean by entertainment is that I'm wondering if people watch TWiT solely for entertainment. I watch it to listen to a panel discussion on the week's tech news, not on everyone's conspiracy theories. I want tech news, not drama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_David Pick Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Steven Styffe I hear you Steven. Over the years I've followed the show, I'd say its both entertainment and tech news. But it does get frustrating when the entertainment overwhelms the tech discussion. Guess we'll see how much better this coming week is com paired to last week.
