    Is this show originally broadcast live, if you watch the feed? If not when is it recorded.

    [Cranky Geeks streams live every Wednesday at 12:30pm Pacific. Downloads available in the evening. – ed.]

  2. OhForTheLoveOf says:

    Irina Slutsky

    Oh god… How unfortunate. Please let me be the last person to mention it, and remember that I made no off color jokes about it.

    (not that I didn’t think of some good ones)

  3. The Pirate says:

    I would drop the sky part.

  4. Mister Mustard says:

    That typewriter tat esta caliente! Qué chévere!

  5. OhForTheLoveOf says:

    #3 – Oh you met her too?

    (SORRY!!! But the door was wide open there!)

  6. The Pirate says:

    #5
    All good OFTLO, I’ll take the hits for her 🙂

  7. Irwin Skanky says:

    Was Ms. Slutsky on something? She seemed a bit out of it, if ya know what I mean. Heck, even John had to ask her if she fell asleep midway through the broadcast.

  8. hhopper says:

    Geez Irwin, if Irina married you she would be Irina Slutsky-Skanky.

  9. Sue Blowjobsky says:

    Maybe that was a long U in her name.

  10. I love big hooters says:

    I wonder if her nickname is SLUT?

  11. peter_m says:

    All silly jokes aside (which are really distasteful no mater what), Irina looked really out of it on the show. I can’t help my self but wonder if she is ok?

    All the immature comments about her are actually statements about the people who made them. Very revealing!

  12. hey guys! this is irina slutsky, i had been at a bunch of parties at web2.0 expo and stayed up all night like an idiot. this was the next day at 1pm — yep. not a good idea. you can see me in better for on episode 90. dvorak and i are good friends mostly cuz he’s smart and pretty wierd guy. thanks for watching 🙂

  13. oh and no, i dont drink and dont do drugs 🙂 not since 1994

  14. Brian says:

    @Everyone: I like Irina and it was at least interesting when she talked which is not something you can say about Sebastian. Plus she has big boobs and that goes a long way, go boobs!

    @Sebastian Rupley: Please shut up. I swear man you are a broken record. You bring up the same crap on EVERY show and just like this time it was not that relevant. I think your seat could be used by someone else who would at least bring something FRESH to the table. I’m pretty sure Dvorak can handle the show and 3 guests all by himself without a Co-Crank.

    @Dvorak: Why is Sebastian on the show every episode? Does he have some nasty pictures of you?

  15. Cranky Dad says:

    Irina Slutsky had nothing of value to add. She ruined this episode. If she’s ever on your show again I’ll stop watching.

    Read the comments on crankygeeks.com – many people feel the same way. Everyone hated her. No one likes her. A random crack addict pulled off the street would have made a better guest.

  16. Mister Mustard says:

    >>Irina Slutsky had nothing of value to add.

    NOT!!

  17. Cranky Dad says:

    >> NOT!!

    Seriously? Are you five years old? Is that the best counter arguement you can make?

  18. Mister Mustard says:

    No, Daddy, it’s not the best counter-argument I can make. However, it’s the most effort I’m willing to expend arguing with a know-nothing douche bag.

    I enjoyed Ms Slutsky’s appearance on the show, tired though she may have been. If you didn’t like it, OK, fine.

    As to your comment “Everyone hated her. No one likes her.”, are YOU a fucking five-year-old? “Waaaah! Waaaah! I don’t like her, Mommy! Nobody likes her! Make John C. Dvorak take her off! Waaaaah!”

    Jesus.

  19. Cranky Dad says:

    Alright Mr. Mustard (Weren’t you a colonel once? Were you demoted?), enlighten me. What did Miss Slutsky add to this episode? In your opinion, what was her best moment?

    Was it the time she asked if anyone had heard of iGoogle… even though the last five minutes of the show was about iGoogle? Was it the two minutes wasted discussing her tattoo?

    Tell me, what was it that made her appearance so great for you?

  20. Mister Mustard says:

    >>Tell me, what was it that made her
    >>appearance so great for you?

    Hey, I’m not an iTV critic, papi. I enjoyed it (I never said it was “so great”). You didn’t like it. OK, who gives a fuck? You don’t like it, don’t watch it. I’ve seen plenty of guys on that show who bore me to death. She didn’t.

  21. Sue Blowjobsky says:

    Next time we need to see some cleavage though, just a suggestion.

  22. Cranky Dad says:

    >> You didn’t like it. OK, who gives a fuck?

    Obviously you do, otherwise you wouldn’t be spending time posting comments.

  23. Mister Mustard says:

    >>Obviously you do

    No, I just like to beat down douche bags.

  24. Cranky Dad says:

    >> No, I just like to beat down douche bags.

    And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the type of high-class viewer who enjoyed Irina Slutsky.

    If you want viewers like that, then bring Irina back and see how difficult it is to keep sponsors. If you want to keep viewers who do visit your sponsors websites, purchase issues of PC Magazine or buy products from your sponsors… then you really shouldn’t ever have her back on.

    ‘Nuff Said.

  25. Mister Mustard says:

    Christ, papi, did she have an affair with your wife or something? What’s with all the hatred?

    As to the sponsors, they’d be well-advised to keep viewers like me. I’ve probably bought more stuff from the pool of products they peddle in the last six months than you have in your entire pathetic life.

    As to beating down douche bags, keep it up, pendejo. It’s only going to hurt worse.

  26. Cranky Dad says:

    >> As to beating down douche bags, keep it up, pendejo.

    When someone resorts to name calling and profanity, they have run out of valid arguements and have already lost.

    Mr. Mustard continues to dig himself deeper into a hole, proving that he has no class.

  27. DCC says:

    @MisterMustard — cool your spanish heals, man. You were so caught up on the offense, I would’ve actually liked to here what you had to say about Irina.

    @CrankyDay — I couldn’t agree with your intial comment more, but if you wanted to be the better man, just ignore people who intially have little to say but single-syllable comments.

    Less is more. It’s not a flame war here.

  28. Brian says:

    @Pedro: Why? I left a comment, isn’t that what I was supposed to do here. Why do I have to shut up?

    If you are going say something at least make a valid argument. My comment included why I wanted Sebastian to shut up. Yours was just a childish response with nothing else to add to the conversation. You couldn’t even bother to use my name instead of a comment #.

  29. FRAGaLOT says:

    I have to agree, Irina Slutsky was an idiot. She kept rubbing her face like she was wiping coke residue off her nose or something. She wasn’t paying attention to the topic. She brought up iGoggle when she didn’t know what’s what the topic was that John started with. She was incapable of finishing a thought.

    She looks like she’s been in rehab and it didn’t work. She looks older than she probably is, and is generally just fucked up.

    I’m sure she’s a nice person, and fun to hang out with and “party” (she seems like a strung out party girl) and she SEEMS to know her tech, but for this show she was out of place.

  30. jim h says:

    I thought her comments were very interesting, and she brings a different point of view to the show, which is sometimes in danger of becoming four successful button-down guys nodding in agreement.

    It doesn’t need to be a Sunday morning panel discussion after all.
