G+_Glenn Hoeppner Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I like John C and have always been a big fan of him. I don't always or even usually agree with his off the wall opinions but one sided conversations are boring and I appreciate his editorializing. While I don't think he should have been removed from the show for this, his emotional response is in poor taste. Hopefully they will make amends someday because TWiT will not be the same without him. Who's going to change all of Leo's gadgets to Chinese? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Glenn Hoeppner Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Sorry, one more comment here Leo and Dvorak breaking up is like Abbot and Costello or Laurel and Hardy breaking up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_ken partridge Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I stopped listening to the twit shows a while ago, was looking for tech but mostly get political ideals jammed down my throat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Tim Cheseborough Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 daniel ethan hopley I don't know either John or Leo, so I'm not basing anything on feeling. I was listening to TWiT since the very first podcast. I've watched the quality of the program drop throughout the years. I've experienced Leo's hotheadedness during interviews. TWiT simply became something that is neither informative nor entertaining for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Rob Chanock Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 The TWIT network was and still is very relevant. Shows such as Security Now and HTG's (among many others) are really informative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Tom Wisniewski Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Curious why many people that have stopped listening to the network are in a twit community commenting ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_amy green Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I still listen to some TWIT shows and avoid a twit that Dvorak is on but I also am avoiding ones where Leo is being Leo. He seems to becoming much meaner, much more a 1 percenter in many ways, looking down at people who can't afford things, really criticizing/insulting people who disagree with him and harping about things he believes in as the only way. Leo has joked about being the old man for many years. I think he is actually turning into the old man... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Joshua “Wizdum” Burgess Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Tim Cheseborough Because Leo Hasn't managed to ruin Security Now yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Glenn Hoeppner Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I've actually gotten scared a few times during Security Now Joshua Burgess. Every time (week) Steve brings up ad blocking it gets tense. And I thought Leo was going to fly off the handle when Steve was talking about how great Harry's was even when they weren't a sponsor of the show.

G+_Sean Clark Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Joshua Burgess?, because he doesn't understand it. Security Now works because Steve has time to explain the tech (on a tech network, oh my) while Leo plays crossy road. Leo only wakes up to do the ad reads. Maybe it's time he took a step back and became an off air CEO of the company, rather than trying to be the face of the network as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Michael Corr Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I was never a big fan of Jon but he is correct in saying all the twit shows now just rehash the same stuff. Even ByB has become a reading of the spec. sheet. They used to put the products thru their paces. Everytime I try to listen to twit lately i can barely make it thru half the show, its gone way downhill, maybe he will wake up and it will get back on track.

G+_Josh Frye Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Has anyone thought that even if they are the closest of friends that there will always be something they disagree about? And that unlike the way it is in the older tv networks where that all plays out behind the scenes. Podcasting/iptv is played out in front of us? Didn't Leo basically call someone a ass live on air when he felt they accused him of getting favors from Palm when he like the Pre? And not a couple of years later they guy was a guest on Twit? This is life ladies and gentlemen, we are just seeing it played out more publicly now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Scott Matics Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I am a big fan of both Leo and JCD. A Few months ago I lucked out and was in the studio to see TWiT when JCD and Patrick Norton were both there. I was honored to be in the same room with Leo and all of them. I will give Leo some slack on this - he is running a business and the pressures to keep it growing and running smoothly must be immense. JCD's and Leo's knowledge of the history of the Tech industry are unequaled and the fact that they often differ in opinions about many things makes any show they are on together more interesting. I hope, for the sake of the show, that they can put this disagreement aside and carry on. The best TWiT's are the ones that JCD is on. Regarding Security Now - there is simply no better tech show or podcast than that one in my opinion. I have learned so much from that show and have been a listener since the very first one.
