You can tell who has no friends in real life. Friends debate things intensely all the time, especially sports. Close friends will beat each other up in a pickup basketball game but be best friends after.
If anything, this shows Rojo looks at Gault like a brother, and that's endearing.
Stop the cancel culture and grow some thicker skin people.
This is rich coming from a guy who deletes any thread criticizing JD Vance and even bans posters for it.

But i'm stunned many of you are thinking I'm in any way minimizing domestic violence. I'm doing the opposite.
No, you were doing exactly what was alleged, you were minimizing it. Minimizing something is when you compare something trivial, with something much more serious. Like a teenager saying their parents making them wash the dishes is worse than slavery, or when anyone compares pretty much anything to the Holocaust, or when a grown ass man compares how an employee feels when his prick boss acts like a prick towards him, to how a woman feels when her husband beats the living sh*t out of her.
You literally have no f'ing clue what you are talking about as shown by the fact that you doubled down on your idiotic statement.
The problem with the modern world is in the day and age of iphones, people can almost never have a bad moment that is forgotten about. You lose your temper and if someone catches it on video, it stays forever (thankfully I deleted it). Back in the day, if you had a disagreement, it wasn't a big deal as people moved on like Jonathan and I are doing. Their minds glossed over exactly what happened. Nowadays, you get a video replay
Bro you're the one filming it. How are you going to blame "the modern world" when you are the prime example of a random 21st century douche bag who feels so self important that he decides to film a podcast. You and your website represent the modern world far better than any zoomer.
Correct. I've always said I treat Jonathan like a younger version of Weldon. I love both of them.
For the record, I apologized to Jon on the phone. He was on speakerphone with my wife (who is Jon's #1 fan).
But i'm stunned many of you are thinking I'm in any way minimizing domestic violence. I'm doing the opposite. If you understood my analogy, you'd realize I was saying I was in the wrong and Jonathan didn't deserve my tirade and I'm stunned he apologized to me.
Yes, I'll still argue he shouldn't have gone out of his way to interrupt me while I was talking and correct me about the name I got wrong (as I realized it and was about to correct myself) but I shouldn't have freaked out on air when he did.

A relative says to kids all the time, "This is the real world - not heaven. Life isn't perfect."
Having a bad moment isn't the end of the world.

Actually, earth is heaven, unless you foolishly are waiting for an afterlife....
...but I digress, my point was that rojo still 'doesn't get it', doesn't see his own stupid childish behaviour, so he blames 'cancel culture' of course. The guy that 'canceled' the Youtube, really..you can't make this crap up.
My question, who has the time to tune in to their stupid unprofessional podcasts when there is so much great material on Youtube that would keeping you watching for a 100 yrs...seriously, tell me why, is it the comedy of the level of stupidity?

There’s actually not that much great material on YouTube.
Haven't seen the incident in question, but Gault is too good for this place either way. This site is useful for the forum, not so much the news. JG would get a readership more commensurate with his talents writing for Athletics Weekly or a broadsheet. I think his career would have benefitted from leaving this place after a year or two for greener pastures anyway, and this incident hopefully will push him in that direction.
I would hate working for Rojo, knowing my talent was far above his. JG clearly doesn't see it that way, but he should move on.

Here's a response that can be cut-and-pasted the next time this occurs:
I've already apologized to Jon in private and wanted to use this opportunity to publicly apologize to the listeners of the LRC Podcast, as well as thanking them for holding me accountable for my actions. I will do my best to avoid such outbursts in the future.

Much better than Rojo’s insane rant where he kind of says sorry but then proceeds to actually blame:
honestly, they might have a close enough relationship that they talk to each other like that in private. and i think that's fine. we are like that with people we are closest to. it just doesn't look good to do it while on the clock.
Alternatively, adults are especially kind to the people we are closest to and have learned to moderate our immediate reactions.
yikes. maybe they should just post it if people are gonna think it's anything like that. He just quickly and sharply snapped that it was unprofessional to interrupt him. happened twice in something like a 5 or 10 minute span.
It was a bad moment, I hope it's all smoothed over for everyone in time. You and Jonathan's passion for athletics is a pleasure to listen to. Now Weldon otoh...
