[The latest episode of This Week in Google was the best yet](https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-google/episodes/759)
.

I enjoy most, if not all, TWiT.tv’s shows, with TWiG being my penultimate. I think it might be the fact that I’m a Jeff Jarvis groupie. And Paris Martineau is fabulous and has the perfect amount of snark and sass mixed with so much intellect that it’s mind blowing.

## Leo On Vacation

This week, Leo Laporte, the chief TWiT himself was away. Paris and Jeff had [Ed Zitron](https://bsky.app/profile/zitron.bsky.social)
, who is a podcaster, but also a PR guy on the show. I was shocked when I heard that he was a PR person appearing on a TWiT network show. I always thought Leo shied away public relations people on the shows. Regardless, Ed’s no hold back, in-your-face views were amazing.

Paris did a great job keeping the show going. And Jeff was the amazing, grumpy-yet-still-happy, curmudgeon he aways is.

## So What Was Different?

I hate to say it, the thing that was different was that Leo wasn’t arguing through the whole episode. I have mad respect for Leo and what he’s created with his network, but lately, it’s just not been as great. I haven’t really been able to put my finger on why exactly. But the part that was missing this week was in fact… Leo.

I don’t want to be too hard on Leo. He’s amazingly knowledgeable and I do value his take on things, but this episode was just so great.

Am I off here? Please let me know. I will die on the hill saying that this was the best TWiG yet.
