Quoted from woz:

Kaneda's Master is a wise man and speaks many truths. Enjoyable in small doses.

Quoted from flynnibus:

Exactly... it's the 'train wreck effect' combined with people seeing it as entertainment.
The problem is people can't differentiate between entertainment and actual 'information' or credibility.
People are drawn to the 'shock factor' more than they are the idea of getting smarter about something.
so the guy who creates drama, is shocking, 'does the things others dont have the courage to do...', and is intentionally and obsessively provocative.. will garner attention and ears/eyes. Then people often fall into the trap of actually thinking everything these people say has equal credibility. They mix in something believable to get people on the hook, then mix in stuff that is completely opinion (informed or not) and conveniently blurr between fact and fiction. Those on the hook usually don't care to try to differentiate... and the spell is complete.
Then they just tune in again for their next dose of gratification and entertainment.
Mix in some positions that speak to hooking the audience as 'we are the same...' or 'we think the same things...' - and you build an association between the listener and the shockjock that is easily exploited to make people not just listen, but actually start to promote the POV you fed them.
None of this is new - it just takes certain skills to exploit properly. It's a formula as old as time.
The sad thing is when people listen to these POVs and take them as if they are somehow actually informed or educated opinions.

Quoted from iceman44:

Kman is so full of shit. You know it, he knows it and that is why people listen. It’s also why no one will ever take him seriously. Not that he cares.
He spends more time reading Pinside and preparing for his next “show” than anyone here including Odiner and his 44k posts
He does a really good job of repeating what he reads on Pinside. Seriously, he does an excellent job
He is a “hyper Pinside reader” and overall fanatic.
He would love to buy “Predator” just to stick it to Hilton he says.
Well he already did that with MG and got F Ed. I wouldn’t make that same mistake again K.
When you only have room for one pinball machine I’d keep the BM66
So keep trolling, I'll expand my podcast reviews.

Quoted from iceman44:

“Sound logic and reasoning”
That’s a joke
He talks out of both sides of his mouth depending on what the “hyper posters” on Pinside are saying
He’s got diarrhea of the mouth and constipation of the brain
He hammered Yeti and Primud because Yeti won’t be his friend now.
Keep trolling me. I’ll provide my own in depth podcast review

Quoted from RustyLizard:

OK defenders of K, explain the value of that episode.

Quoted from iceman44:

Ok just finished my workout on my bike listening to the Kman. So let's drop a couple of thoughts and comments.
1) . Just like anyone self absorbed they don't listen to what anyone else says. I wasn't blaming you Chris for taking down Heighway. We ALL knew what was going on. There were tons of NEGATIVE threads regarding Andrew for years. Andrew admitted it himself to me verbally in the conversation i had with him as he was looking for a lawyer in New York to sue you. . I told him it was a waste of $$$ that he didn't have. It was touch and go for a long time and its a shame they didn't make it despite a second effort by his successors.
2). The podcast is a summary of the dozens of NEGATIVE threads here on Pinside. It's nothing new, just a verbal flow of what is said here ad nauseum, in kind of a funny and stupid way? The other podcasts don't want to talk about the NEGATIVE because they want industry guys to come on their show.
3). JJP. Since 2011 there have been more NEGATIVE threads re Woz, Hobbit, DI and JJP than any other manufacturer, and deservedly so. K man does a good job of summarizing what is said here on a daily basis with Jack and crew. He's totally right on with the JJP analysis.
4). Insert F bombs all over the place. +1 for me
5). "I am the greatest marketing person in the world, if you don't believe me then google......"
6). "I am never going to quit this podcast because i don't want to leave you guys without the best podcast in the world and all those other ones......but but they are are great and i love all of them".....
7). Gotta say, I feel he takes his cue from the T man, a fellow New Yorker! So full of shit its coming oozing out of his ears!
Bottom line, people like to hear somebody RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE. That's his niche. Which is a good thing because again, its just a summary of all the NEGATIVE stuff on Pinside in a verbal diarrhea form.
He's insecure and cares what people say about him yet is oblivious to what he dishes out. I think i need to go on and straighten his ass out, "man to man".
Unfiltered, unedited and answering all of my questions. I'll be getting my MBrLE and MunstersLE soon, hopefully. We can do a little review of those games in between some heated discussion.

Quoted from ZEN:

Entertainment. Because neither of them are curing cancer or eradicating homelessness, I would take the time to listen to those two talk pinball. That's it! I could read the 9 paragraph post on his thoughts each time Kaneda puts out a show but to be honest I dont, but I would listen to two people interact about it. Like the rest of our society, why read the book when you can watch the movie?

Quoted from rgb635:

Simply put Kaneda throws rocks and hides his hands. He sh!ts on manufactures on one episode & then invites them on the next one. When they don't accept his invitation he then spins the incident as if they are refusing to address some exaggerated issue as if he's the spokesperson for pinball. If I were a manufacture I wouldn't entertain his rhetoric either because he's a narcissist with nothing to lose but listeners vs customers! And what was with the podcast ceasefire episode!?!? He put H2H logo up as click bait when most podcasters wont even mention his name. Even when "Special when lit" was nice enough to include him in their year-end episode he turned around and cried victim because they edited his segment at the request of H2H. This bothered him so bad that he then played the unedited version on his show like it was a CNN world premier. DUDE GET OVER YOURSELF. And please explain to me how he's a high end collector with one (1) freakin' pin...WTF.
