TWIT 509, was the worst tech show, I ever listened to

TWIT 509, was the worst tech show, I ever listened to. I have never had a negative comment about any of your shows. Until I wasted 2 hours of my life listening to air heads for guests. I apologize for being blunt, but you have always done better than that .

John B I agree, it wasn't exactly the greatest but I wouldn't say was the worst tech show I have ever heard either.

Once in a while you'll get a horror show where there was 99% banter and 1% content.

 

Don't underestimate the intelligence of John and Jolie (not sure why she keeps the persona). They were being deliberately playful. Leo knows this but he decided he doesn't mind losing one show to entertainment.

 

Certainly not the show to use if you want to introduce TWIT to new viewers.

 

P/S - Leo should consider producing the show idea from Jolie on TWIT network. She would be a good host (by herself). Call it the Jolie O'Delll show.

Agreed. The first 10 years of TWIT were great, but now we seem to be in a huge decline.

You get what you pay for.

my attention is worth more than this show, thats why I stopped 45 mins in. True statement.

Jolie and John work but with another guess that keeps the show on tech, last show was to much nonsense. No way is twit declining if anything quality across the board has come up, the new screen savers being the big play.

[G+_Dave Trautman]

Generally I don't mind the meandering opinion sharing guests. I also don't mind when they ignore Leo and debate a tangential subject.

 

But comparing this episode to the previous week shows you the range which the program offers.

 

I'm agreeing this particular one was both annoying and time-wasting. Jolie did mention how the tech news hasn't changed in all the time she was away. But that's about the only thing I could agree with.

 

I didn't watch LIVE as I usually try to. Glad I could zip forward over some of the most inane parts.

I've watched Twit for years and I am disappointed by the recent coverage which seems to be even more obsessed with Apple.

 

The Apple watch is interesting but it is nothing new over the Androidwear watches. Listening to twit you'd think that this was a completely new and revolutionary.

 

In response Gavin Gordon? I think that Dvorak's attitude is good as he isn't a cheerleader, instead I think it is good that he challenges the rest of the panel.

Jolie came on the show to advance her agenda, took a dump on the show, and didn't give a crap about anyone or anything. IMO she's an irritating airhead!

[G+_Dave Trautman]

Gareth Edwards, I think I wholeheartedly agree with you there has been far too much about the ?Watch on TWiT shows lately.

 

Then I got to thinking how this might be only because so many guests have them or are waiting to get them or have written stuff about them. I remember back when the MOTO came out and a number of others and even as far back as the Pebble but the discussions couldn't go very long because most of the other people on the shows didn't have one or weren't planning on getting one. I was already tired of hearing about ?Watch before the official release day.

 

I seem to recall hearing a lot about Google's plans for their glass or the "gear" announcements. But without people in the room to hold up their wrists there was not much to talk about. I also think the run-up to the release was the usual speculation and anticipation which Apple loves people to talk about.

 

Having said all that I still think we're way past the "sell by date" on this subject until after WWDC.?

Best show on TWIT in a long time. I am so tired of discussions about the latest phone or watch. A couple of years ago it was all about Google Glass. I am tired of everyone getting excited about minor upgrades to phones. There is little or no new information discussed on shows like TWIT. John and Jolie see through all the hype. They are entertaining. The TWIT audience just don't get it. Leo gets it and agrees. He just can't admit it because his network is based on hyping tech news. TWIG is his best show because they talk about a range of topics. Dvorak and Jolie are trying to move beyond mundane tech news.

Greg Lewis The show is not supposed to be about airheaded entertainment. The TWIT audience don't get it but you do?...Tell me what do drag queens and crabby old grouching have to do  with technology. Dvorak  , when ever he was a guest would actually make me feel uncomfortable watching the show, I felt like I was imposing on him, how dare Leo ask him to answer a relevant question about a subject that popped up that week. All  he ever did was snarl and grouch about everything as if we were watching him through his house curtain in his living room in his boxers. I don't like to make people feel uncomfortable. As for Jolie, I'm going to agree to disagree with you about her.  

 

I first listened to the episode, then after reading all these comments agreeing with me I watched the first 20 minutes on my roku because I never seen her before,  wouldn't recognize her if I ran her over (euphemism) ,and was curious what she was doing there in the first place. She offered nothing relevant to anything other than her own agenda. To me, and this is only my opinion I think she disrespected Leo to promote here own cause and wouldn't and don't give a crap about the audience. No offense meant Greg Lewis  your entitled to your own opinion like everyone else.

John B? as you said everyone is entitled to their opinion. I respect your comments and I appreciate your comment at the end. I was expecting a lot of flaming comments. Thank you for not ripping me.
