I watched some of that, but I don’t understand what you are talking about.
Do you have a direct link to the moment the call-out happened?
TWiT (This Week in Tech) is a show that’s broadcast live at the link above every Sunday afternoon, and is made available later in the week as a downloadable podcast. A big part of the show is the IRC chatroom, where viewers can comment on and contribute to the show while it’s in progress.
Before today’s show started, Leo (the host) and his guests were chatting about Ernest Borgnine’s death. He mentioned that there was no good website to check for the breaking news about celebrity deaths, so someone in the chatroom posted a link to this thread. Leo pulled it up and read the first few lines of Baker’s OP explaining the game and its rules. (He also quoted the “fighting ignorance” motto, which got some laughs.)
As mentioned, it happened during the pre-show, when they’re setting up mics, prepping the guests, etc., so won’t be found in the downloadable podcast, but a few weeks ago they demoed a feature they’re working on to allow hotlinking to any moment in any of their shows. If they allow hotlinking to the pre-show content, I’ll post one to this thread’s appearance once they make it available (it happened three or four minutes before I posted my comment, so should be easy to track down once that feature is available).
Cool!
Thanks.
Here’s the clip.
That is awesome!!
“This is a very sick pastime… but interesting.”
He understands us!
Six people got points for Borgnine, and one of them was a virgin!
Congratulations Zagalejo!
The SMDb is something else, right? 
(Any way we can thank this guy for the shout out? Anybody who tries to find out the correct pronunciation of “Cthulhu” has GOT to be One of Us.)
Oh Christ, now we’re going to have riff-raff showing up. :rolleyes:
They’ll probably want avatars too.
Wait Wait Wait, Leo Laporte cited THIS thread?
Holy crap.
someone just crossed my beams.
So gotta check that out when I get the time.
Got to meet Laporte and Norton in 2004. Laporte actually mentioned me* on an episode of The Screen Savers.
- He made the comment that someone handed him a can of peaches. He asked half jokingly, if he could get some Georgia Peaches when he made the tour stop in Atlanta. I brought him a can. It turns out, the peaches where actually shipped from CA to begin with.
I can.
I have Meeko registered over there in the IRC chat. I can relay it back to them.
And yet that OTHER 95 year old with one leg is STILL HERE. :smack:
We Must Kill Them Now.
While There Is Still Time!
We could make him an honorary SDMB (or SMDb, if he prefers) member, thus ensuring he’ll never be a pick for our sick pastime.
No.
He is mine!
I’m also going to tweet him.
Invite him to play next year.
