Kurt Metzger is brutal

“Jimmy Dore is an interesting voice, and he brings a mix of good guests, humor and cynicism into his show to give another view of what’s going on in the world. Since he’s a comedian, don’t expect a stoic, humorless show. He does however try to maintain an appropriate level of seriousness during topics that require it.
Which brings us to Kurt Metzger. He is there to inject humor into the show, but Metzger has no on/off button. He cannot shut up no matter what subject is being discussed, and what’s worse, he cannot read the room. He is always trying for the hit “one-liner”. He’s the annoying class clown who is in constant “seeking approval” mode. Dore has a high tolerance for Metzger, but if you watch the show on YouTube, you can see that even Dore gets weary of the interruptions.
What’s worse than Metzger missing a line? When he lands one. That just fuels him to keep going. There are times when Dore is presenting a story, and Metzger will interrupt him after every sentence to give his “commentary”, usually followed by a forced Metzger laugh.
This show was very good before Metzger was brought in. I wish they would work on his on air behavior. If he’s not capable of controlling himself, pull him off the air, and pay him to write jokes for the show.
When Metzger is subdued (or bonus! not in studio), the show works. When he’s not subdued (which is almost all the time), it’s almost impossible to get through. I find myself turning the show off long before it’s over because Metzger is so annoying and distracting. Metzger is like a hyperactive, yappy dog who ate a few adderalls and cannot stop barking.”

“Thanks, Jimmy, for all the laughs. I really enjoy your podast, especially your take on politics. If you can't laugh at what is going on in our country, you'd have to cry. The whole gang--Stef, Frank Conniff, Robert Yasumura, Mike MacRae, Paul Gilmartin--is very funny and really...”Read full review »
