Comic Book Guy isn't the right fit.

He's got an outgoing personality. He's seems likable and socially well adjusted. He just really likes the sound of his own voice... a lot...

He's really hard to listen to on The Incomparable Podcast. He frequently shows up as a guest when they talk about comic book movies and always has the most baffling and inane opinions.

My sig is 1 pixel too big.

He live streamed an Apple event from his laptop, and Apple stopped talking to him afterwards.

That should date it for you. This was before Apple did their own streams... so 10 years ago? Fifteen?
Oh wow. That was like forever ago.

Exactly! And the fact that he stammers way more often than not makes it all the more irritating when he veers off onto one of his interminable "metaphors".

No, someone from pornhub

EDIT: I thought the question was about Leo. Ha.

Andy seems like a really nice guy.

Sometimes I wonder if he ever steps out of the tech bubble and gets some real-world interaction, though. I wonder about that with a lot of the hosts, actually. His opinions definitely go into bizarre territory every now and then.

The first TWiT from the new studio is this Sunday.

I'm mildly curious as to how big the downgrade is.

Here's a video of them moving from the old studio to the new one across town.

Edit: Holy crap. Their new studio is literally right down the street from where I work. I'm might stop by and pay a visit during my lunch break.

From the video it sounds like the bricks are moving over to the new studio. I'm going to try to smuggle out Starman's brick.

When Leo hit the button and the lights came on, I got depressed for the whole crew.

The place looks...not like crap, but...kinda like crap.

It was only a matter of time before I took a peek.



That's a sad, sad set.

Tom Merritt. Sarah Lane. Iyaz Akhtar. Becky Worley. Dr. Kiki. Shwood. JuRY. Snubs. OMGChad.

Just a few random names. No idea why they came to mind.

The set is fine, if not ugly.

Isn't the entire panel TWiT people, though, not the usual array of industry people?

I didn't say it was a bad set, I said it's sad.

Half of it is undecorated drywall painted white. An undressed set is an unhappy set.

Alex Lindsey is technically not TWiT, and he doesn't work next door like he used to, but it's still pretty low-hanging fruit for the only non-TWiT guest.

You know, not only is that all TWiT people, I just realized that's all the TWiT people. It's the entire on-air roster.

Leo's iPad on iOS Today.



I'd dismiss this as another "oh Leo" moment, but this actually requires work to make happen. Take it from someone who knows.

What the hell is wrong with that guy? Can't they afford an extra iPad and keep it clean for the shows?

I never even get to that question because the internet, get this, saves porn for me.

I wouldn't put it past Leo to have some really sick stuff on his computers. I'm just waiting for the eventual bestiality TWiT slip.

I wouldn't be surprised. Also, Leo sadly doesn't have the name in tech that he used to.
