  • Leo Laporte is the best

  • Go Leo Go!

  • ismikearringtonadick * com

  • When is Arrington going to jail?

  • @Most24Dope sure, Leo is a "great person", a man of Integrity, that's why he was caught cheating on his wife with his CEO Lisa.... interesting.

  • Love it! 

  • guess leo didnt get enough weed that morning

  • Mike was being an arrogant prick to Leo, Leo is a legend!

  • Can't blame Leo for his reaction here. He makes a living off of his opinions about products.

    Suggesting that he does not give an honest opinion about any of the electronic products he uses is suggesting that he is a fraud in his profession.

    That's a bold claim for anyone to make.

  • Leo Laparte you are my hero. Calling out Arrington like a boss!

  • Leo's a fucking boss.

  • Laporte was a twat in this case. He also bends over for his "sponsors" on his Internet programmes.

  • the anger from leo was kinda fake, you know acted out, a bit. but he was right to be offended.

  • Leo is the man!!! I LOVE TWIT!!

  • omg i wish zd tv was back or tech tv i want to watch some more leo takes me back.... love it...

  • Leo High-five i've known you a long time. way back when you were on tech tv. you're the best.

  • i have a friend who watches this shit.... its so lame. i feel bad for my friend who choses to shit through this miserable crap

  • Comment removed

  • They always said Leo was a little prickily. He is out of control

  • twit is sooooooooooooo boring!

  • Fuck it! We'll do it live!

  • GOOD FOR YOU LEO! Wish I had seen this earlier. Fuck Arrington is right, and that's using nice language.

  • I wouldn't blame Leo at all. You can tell his reaction is genuine. Arrington probably has Daddy issues.

  • I agree with Leo, Mike was questioning Leo's integrity as a reporter. As discussed in other TWiT episodes, these tech reporters take their integrity very highly.

    What I disagree with is throwing everyone off the air, the other attendees were put in an uncomfortable position as you can see from their expressions on the screens. I think Leo should of just have ended the call with Mike and continued with the others.

  • @awfycooper Well I think it was wise for him to take a breather so he didnt do the rest of the show angry

  • Way to go Leo, not only do you know your tech but you can take a strong stand for what you believe in.

  • leo did the right thing.

  • I am sorry , but Mike Arrington being a total dick doesn't explain the "gentle" liberal vision that Leo has been trying to paint of himself. I say, he is at least as big of a dick as Mike. If Leo was a good and SMART guy, he would have had a simple answer without going of the rail and becoming vulgar. Mike must have touch the Lea's liberal and not so gentle and "understanding nerve. He simply confirmed what I've long suspected.... not a nice guy at all.

  • @bodzio4062 haha what? he gets angry once, and now hes "not a nice guy at all?" are you implying that all nice people are immune to the emotion of anger? if so, you must have your head wedged so far up your ass that the methane from your colon is making you lightheaded and delusional.

  • @bodzio4062 What the fuck's wrong with a little fucking vulgarity? We're all adults here.

  • @bodzio4062 actually, this makes him look just like anyone, so he just gained some points IMHO.

  • I think the fact that Mike Arrington kept pushing the issue really pissed off Leo

  • Leo is a truly a man of integrity, heard him call out Jobs a number of times to for being a prick.

  • This why I love Leo Laparte! :)

  • if anything, this clip endears me more to Leo, not against. There's nothing wrong with telling someone to fuck off every once in a while... even if it has to be done live in front of thousands of streamers :)

  • Sounds like someone was pissed he didn't get a pre-pre.

  • Truly a new side to Leo Laporte, it's kind of hard to believe anyone would have that kinda grude with him in particular.

  • @andeer The kicker is Arrington is more than happy to give a more favourable view of something if he gets a free review unit, and whines when he doesn't. He's incredibly hypocritical and I don't understand why anybody gives him any kind of credibility as a "tech reporter".

  • @TalesOfWar Any Publicity is good publicity, right? At least no one calls him President of the Internet.

  • ABSOLUTELY ADORE LEO and love this clip. Shows that he is a real person and who the f is arrington anyway? I wasn't watching him the 90's on Screensavers, I know that for damb sure. :)

  • Seeing this side of Leo is awesome. He's such a badass, a term not normally associated with nerds.

  • lol my mind literally beeped out the fuk u statement leo doesnt say those words

  • Good man Leo! That's why he's President of the Internet. SCREW YOU ERRINGTON!!!

  • Leo made it clear it was a review unit right off the bat and was obviously interested in talking about the device. Arrington was out of line and came off like a total putz.

  • @AnyaEightySeven He reacted like a child telling everyone to go home. If he were a bigger man he would have laughed at Mike and said "cmon you know hoe this works, we send em back". But he didn't. Which is suspicious

  • @lflarry1 @audiowiz is just a troll like Mike Arrington (AKA Mike Airfag) is ;D

  • Leo is awesome, never heard him cuss before but he knows when to do it that guy was a jerk.

  • @audiowiz I think you're wrong. Arrington crossed the line to question leo's integrity. Also it's not the first time that Arrington tried to stab leo either. he just got sick and tired of his bullshit..and I, don't blame him.

  • @lflarry1 I don't know any history between these 2 gentlement, but if one person can't question possible incentives of a reviewer, that's just too much to ask.

  • @audiowiz This was an ongoing issue with Arrington. He would constantly call in to question Leo's ethics as a reviewer for receiving an item without cost. This is a direct shot at Leo that had happened many times before. This time however was different. Leo was unwilling to except Arrington's constant critisizm on his ethical standards. Yes it was probably a bit uncalled for and should have been handled a little differently and Leo was responsible and did actually do a public apology.

  • @audiowiz called out? It's a review unit he had to send back in 7 days. How would that influence him?

  • @AnyaEightySeven Is that assertion established in the video? If Leo wasn't such a baby he could've simply responded that the phone wasn't a gift, was to be sent back within 7 days, but he didn't. He flipped out like an 11 year old in response to a legitimate question.

  • @audiowiz He stated that at 25-35 seconds in the video. "I'm really pissed off that you would imply that this "free" pre that I send back in 7 days would in any way pre-dispose me. Either way it's understood that's typically how product reviewing works, you send the products back afterwward, and Mike Arrington obviously knows that.

  • Mike Arrington is hilarious

  • Leo had every right in the world to get angry!! Mike Arrington went for leo's integrity which is going for the jugular. Leo reputation is his one of his most important assets. Who the hell did this guy thinks he is to question that the way he did?. Awful person and a real jerk

  • hahahhahahahaha i love this

  • Thumbs up for creating the word "trollish"! x)

  • Review units given by companies to reviewers are supposed to be *samples* for reviewers to take for a "test drive". No reviewer should pay for it, Mike. That's the common courtesy.

  • sounds to me like michael is jealous. michael, leo laporte is the best. I've been listening to him is the screen saver days.

  • The fact that Leo still remains somewhat calm should say something.

  • trollissimo in spanish.... a-hole in English...

    Leo is the best at what he does... like getting a one week review phone would "buy" him

  • Leo, You Rock!

    he is probably just jealous because you got a unit and he didnt!

    oh, and you have Fans and He does not ^_^

  • I wasn't aware Leo was capable of of dropping the F bomb. But he's right, Arrington was being a cock.

  • classic

  • You rock, Leo!

  • "Da most trollish person"

    Well said Leo, well said

  • awesome....love when people say what they think.

  • LOL.....Leo is a BAD ASS......told that douche to FUCK OFF

  • Leo was good on TechTv, I like Patrick Norton more though.

  • I love leo :)

  • I love Leo, and yes Mike Arrington is a giant douche. But he's right. The Pre is not a good product.

  • I've got to commend Leo. The guy has build a career on his personal honesty and integrity. For that sad, mongler Arrington to insinuate anything to the contrary is totally silly. It was jarring to hear Leo drop an f-bomb, but it was certainly justified. One day Arrington will wake up in a cold sweat, and the crushing realization that his diaphanous troll facade is laughable to everyone but him will trigger either a Zen enlightenment, or a suicidal depression, either way, the universe wins.

  • If you have listened to Leo for more than 10 minutes you know that this is a guy with integrity. Give me a break..... he probably gets 50 reviews units a week if various gadgets... like he really needs one more and it will "buy" his review.

  • i like how at 0:37 the fat guy in the upper monitor is chuckling.

  • Well said Leo! 

  • @sparced leo is actually very interesting to listen too...after all it is a tech show

  • Uncle Leo!

  • Leo, I may be a straight man, but I totally have have a man crush on you.

  • Mike Arrington really stepped over the line with that one.

  • That was awesome

  • I have never heard him mad at anyone.

  • Hey, it's Mike Huffington!

  • YOU ROCK LEO!!

  • Mike Arrington-Trollface activate

  • Fuck it, FUCK IT, WE'LL DO IT LIVE, FUCK IT

  • @dm1133 LOL...you forgot......Fuckin thing sucks

  • @MisterSteemy True, how could I forget that classy line.

  • 1-PS3

    2-PS3

    3-PS3 

  • Leo has always given his honest opinion. Mike Arrington deserved no less than to be told off and put in his place.

  • Screw you guys, I'm going home xD

  • Leo provides A great service with TWIT and he;and we know that his absolute impartiality and credibility are what keep it going.This out -of -character response was done for all who want A trustworthy source-Way to Leo !

  • Problem, Leo?

  • @1:26 Mild mannered Leo Laporte becomes.... SUPER DAWKINS!

  • This is why Leo is so great. He a *real* person... probably the nicest most interesting guy you could know in a 1,000+ mi. raidus at any given moment, but he'll call a spade a spade and will drop an F-bomb if it's warranted. So many people today are precisely the opposite... all F-bombs and no personality or class.

  • Ah, the infamous "screw you" episode. First time I'm seeing it. Everybody knows it takes a lot to piss Leo off. Moral: Never piss Leo off!

  • I'm with Leo all the way! I've never heard of Mike Arriington, and after this I never want to hear about him again.

  • What in the hell would possess even Mike Arrogantington to make such insinuations to someone as genuinely nice and has as much credibility as Leo Laporte? I'm with Leo. Fuck you, Mike Arrogantington!

  • Damn I love this video, twit at it's best!!

  • I would not trade Leo Laporte for 10 Mike Arrington's!

  • But Cuba!

  • LEO HELL YES WAY TO CALL OUT MIKE DOUCHE ARIONGTON

  • I had a Palm Pre and loved it. 

  • We all have a bad day! Sometimes it is hard to suffer fools!!! No matter how nice we are generally!

  • Leo probably had a pretty good reason for getting upset with this Mike guy!

    

  • way to go Mr.President!!! I cut Arrington from my twitter cause of some douchbag Canadian comments he made...BRAVO....

  • Come on any one who listens to Leo knows that the guy is honest as it comes even at the risk of pissing off sponsors...I think he is right I have heard Mike on other shows he is just an angry man who needs to get off the computer and try and get laid!

  • hahaha That was Awesome, fuck those guys :P

  • ... And they bill you one pre for dropping it on the table... XD

  • uhoh...hit a nerve....just proves your human, Leo!

  • Leo Wins.

  • Leo is the President of the internet for a reason.

  • @VTVStudios yeah, he and his monopoly on podcasts [cit. Paul Thurrott]

    he's great!

  • "FUCK YOU GUYS" epic

  • Leo even sounds nice when he is saying "fuck you guys"

  • no way!!! umah guhh leo is the man now i liked the guy b4 i love him now !!! way to go from Canada ...still cant believe what i just saw lmao

  • Leo Laporte is a badass. I loved the Screen Savers, too bad Tech TV sold out.

  • Leo Laporte is the boss.

  • nice one leo, don't take any BS

  • LOL! Leo just owned Arrington... Seriously though... He has a review product for 7 days... Fuck, that wouldnt make me biased to it, id be like. "Oh hey, i have this for 7 days, lets see if it sucks or not" Just wow.. Arr needs to go change his fucking tampon...

  • AHAHHA leo cries like a bitch he shoulda rolled with it, any broadcasting dj knows that, u dont just explode at ppl, and cry like 5 year old, so unprofessional

  • @Taud So, now we know that Mike Arrington's YouTube name is Taud.

  • I support ya Leo!

  • Kind of reminds me of the one video of Jeremy Glick vs. Bill O' Reilly. I'll leave it to you for you to decide which one is which in a side by side comparison.

  • @JoshKeatonFan

    What does two bloggers arguing about nerd ethics have to do with the 9/11 truthers?

  • @JohnnyRimShot I didn't even mention 9/11. What are you talking about? I'm talking about the video on YouTube of Bill O' Reilly arguing with Jeremy Glick.

    Search YouTube for Jeremy Glick and you see what I mean.

  • I'M INFURIATING

  • Leo 10 - 0 Arrington

  • Comment removed

  • I support Leo here. Mike made an insulting assumption, Leo answered.

  • wow I can't believe Leo just said fuck.. also, Mike Arrington is a cockbag

  • @CapumOfOuttaSpace It still shocks me to hear him swear.

  • @CapumOfOuttaSpace if you listen to the live stream he does al da time

    

  • @CapumOfOuttaSpace never heard leo cuss before. then again on regular tv he couldn't (Call For Help on ZDTV/TechTV) though that mike guy was being an asshole in his tone/attitide when asking/talking to Leo, but then again based solely on this clip it did seem like Leo overreacted as well, but that's going only by this clip and not by the history between those two people.

  • Mike Arrington is a jackass link bate author. And a troll, lol.

    TechCrunch would be nothing if it was for Laporte and other technology columnists of *reputation* who gave him a ton of good press and did nothing but wish him well way back in 2005.

  • BUT CUBA!

  • Leo goes gangsta! Whoever this Mike Arrington is, he clearly was trying to instigate something. He's a frustrated trouble maker.

  • i've been a fan of Leo and Twit for years and this is the 1st time I seen him get pissed by some troll...lol

  • That. Was awesome.

  • xD theyre talking about this right now on TWiT on net@nite

  • Hey, the captions don't say "but Cuba" anymore. :(

  • Mike put on his trollface right after that.

  • Is it bad that I listen to this each morning before my assertiveness class? Cause it has really helped.

  • Thing is Leo sounds so proper even when he's upset and if you're audio only it's very difficult to tell until you've been cut off. It isn't until you see his facial expressions on the stream that you can fully take in the level of annoyance he's experiencing.

  • I would have been alot more proud of him if he didn't use 'troll', but all the same...

  • TROLLED

  • I'm glad Leo called him out. He obviously hit a hard spot where Leo doesn't want people to think that he can be bought off, and that idea pissed him off. Plus this shows Leo's personal human side and we all get mad every once in a while. He is such a nice guy, this is the only clip I've seen out of thousands of hours where he looses it a little.

  • Leo is the Best!

  • called him a troll hhahahahahaha

  • Goddamnit, I admire Leo Laporte.

  • trollish, haha

  • >Implying I have a pre.

  • To hear those words coming out of Laporte's mouth of all people is a true testament to what a douche-nozzle Arrington is.

  • I AM INFURIATED.... ITS OVER 9000

  • You're a dick

  • LOL the captioning now says "squarely on soft money all off lucky"

  • What video is that @ 1:24 - 1:30?

  • Fuck Arrington and fuck techcrunch!

  • Amazing. love it love it love. get'em Leo!!!!!!

  • Mike Arrington is a fucking idiot.

  • ismikearringtonadick dot coooom

  • @noizeredution fck u u are a dumb ass who just says random shit to deal important hahaha Jk jk jk jk jk

  • @noizereduction Leo is important to me. I was already watching him when I got my first PC and he and his shows took me from novice to advanced in a more fun and entertaining way (and much quicker) than if I had to learn everything on my own. I am so glad he programs twit.tv much like the heyday of TechTV, I watch it more these days than I do regular TV.

  • @noizereduction Explain, please.

  • @noizereduction I disagree. I think it's important to have those who experienced old technologies come into newer technologies because back then technology wasn't as automatic. Leo does get caught up in remembering those days, but he is a fine tech analyst.

  • @noizereduction I agree he is hardly a tech "authority" as he fancies himself. Maybe to old ladies and newbs. But his age is irrelevant. It all comes down to how well you keep yourself informed. I know plenty of young "tech wizards" who also don't know their technology from their backsides. But back to Leo, he is sort of like the "Best Buy" of tech reviewers. Not a place someone with any real tech background would go to for information, but that the mainstream does.

  • @noizereduction You mean Kevin Rose, founder of Digg, the most popular social bookmarking site on the entire internet? Amber MacArthur, creator of commandN and a huge success on the internet. iJustine, Sarah Lane, Morgan Webb, Adam Sessler, Kevin Periera. The list can go on with Tom Merritt, Roger Chang, Oh Doctah, Mark Zuckerburg, and so on. Thank you for walking into an obvious ambush of your intelligence. I can name many more, but I think I made you look enough like an idiot for now.

  • @JoshKeatonFan Others might call it an Aggrigator which is what it is and it's not the top Fark is the top.

  • @fkylw Again, you just made yourself look like an idiot by completely forgetting about the Digg redesign. Digg is #1

  • @JoshKeatonFan Their "redesign" caused a mass exodus leading to the departure of one of their key founders. That's hardly a good website. You make yourself look like an idiot by not using appropriate words for items that have definitions and the lack of knowledge of any websites other than digg. You're just another digger and why the hell am I wasting my time on you? I'll have to justify this with an acid bath.

  • @fkylw The only people that don't like the redesign are the people of this world that think everything has to be the same. When you let the dust settle and everyone calms down, you realize that Digg has a much more appropriate design for what they offer. You are also wrong, I'm not just a Digg user but a del,icio.us user and foursquare user.

  • @JoshKeatonFan "social bookmarking site" It's called an aggregator. Also, last time I checked, Fark was the most popular digg followed closely and reddit right behind them.
