G+_Troy Luchterhand Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 So I've been noticing this more and more over quite a few episodes of All About Android, and it has gotten to the point where I have to say something. Why in the world is Ron Richards?? becoming more and more hyper critical of basically everything Florence Ion?? says and does? I mean it has gotten to the point in this last episode of All About Android, where he basically interrupted her in the middle of her speaking just to criticize something she said. If you want to constantly correct her for whatever reason you feel the need to; at least wait until she finishes speaking. It very unprofessional, and I feel bad for Florence Ion??. Ron Richards??, show her the same respect you show Jason Howell??. You don't interup him constantly to criticize something he said. You're not perfect yourself. Just a heads up. It's getting pretty sickening. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Marlon Thompson Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 While I think Flo can hold her own, I`m with Troy a bit though knowing Ron, it may just be a dynamic that we are seeing and not meant to be disrespectful or anything. I remember when Tom and Iyaz were on TNT people would mistake their purposeful pro and con banter as Iyaz disrespecting Tom and they had to clarify many times that there wasn't any animosity. But in the famous words of Donald R. you don`t know what you don`t know, maybe Ron will read this and do a self check if it is called for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_joseph Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 You know he is doing it in a joking way right? It's part of the banter. I think it's entertainment not unprofessional.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Jeff Faulkner Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I hope you are right Marlon Thompson??, but I've been noticing it myself. He never "bantered" with Gina or Eileen that way. But he does interact with Myriam Joire similarly. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Alan M Carlino Jr Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Have you ever watched Flo speaking? She interrupts everyone. Watch episode 252. She interrupts Ron A almost every time he speaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Troy Luchterhand Posted February 19, 2016 Author Share Posted February 19, 2016 joseph limandri sorry, it's unprofessional and doesn't happen to Jason or the other guests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Troy Luchterhand Posted February 19, 2016 Author Share Posted February 19, 2016 Alan M Carlino Jr? interrupting is one thing. Consistently interrupting with the intent to criticize is quite another, it's it is happening more frequently. ?For some reason, Ron is zeroing in on particular things she says, just to point out something he sees as incorrect.

G+_Troy Luchterhand Posted February 19, 2016 Author Share Posted February 19, 2016 Marlon Thompson yes, that's what I am hoping for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_joseph Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Troy Luchterhand Yes because Ron Richards finds humor in some of what flo says. Like the millennial stuff..she also gives it back to him sometimes on how serious he takes the app arena. It's playful I don't see it as mean.

G+_Ron Richards Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Thanks Troy Luchterhand for sharing your thoughts and pointing this out. As Jason Howell and I have said from AAA day one, we do the show for you the audience, and we thrive on your feedback - so I appreciate you taking the time to share your observations. I'd hate to think that you're watching or listening to our show and walking away feeling sickened, so obviously, that's not ideal. That said, I can assure you that, as a few folks have observed in the comments, that I have nothing but respect and admiration for Florence Ion - she knows her stuff and has been great to have on the show since she came on as a co-host. So that, absolutely is the most important thing to get across. I am quite fond of Flo and would never want to act towards her unprofessionally or inappropriately. As many of you who watch the show, it's apparent that we have a very laid back environment, and the jokes come fast and aplenty. For long time viewers, you may remember the first year of the show where I'm pretty sure there was a Jason/Thumb Ring joke just about every week. I love Jason like a brother (and I hope he knows that), and those jokes were done with the utmost respect and fun. Now I'm not sure of what the specific moments you're referring to (and perhaps, as someone mentioned, the Skype connection played into it as that can be challenging to interact with people because they can't always see us etc.) or what I was "criticizing", but I can 100% assure you that there is no ill will there at at all. Most of the time when we're having "real talk" about phones or carriers or what not, the conversation can be great but also can get a bit heated. If she's talking about the Kardashians, well, I'm not going to bite my tongue there (mainly cause she's so much better than that.). But, you have a valid point about interrupting and that's something that we all need to be wary of on the show (again, relating back to using Skype etc.). The nature of the show is limited time to talk amongst 3 to 4 people about a topic and sometimes it can be a race to get your comment in. But interrupting isn't cool and that's absolutely valid for all of us on the show to keep in mind and I'll do my best moving forward to remember that. Thanks again for your initial comment Troy Luchterhand and to everyone else in the comments who weighed in, in either direction. Hope you keep enjoying the show!
