Become a Useful Idiot for extended interviews and bonus content at http://usefulidiots.substack.com
Emmy-winning writer and comedian Kurt Metzger, who wrote for Who is America? and Inside Amy Schumer, stops by to talk comedy with the Useful Idiots.
We figured since August is wrapped, it’s probably time we all had a Summer Friday. So instead of talking death in Ukraine and poverty in the US, Kurt shares stories of running from Chinese cops, illegal standup comedy in Shanghai, joining (and then ditching) the Jehovah’s Witnesses, and, most importantly, how he’d look with Katie’s hair.
When the Useful Idiots decide to go silly, we’re no-nonsense about it. So we also enroll in the new college major Lesbian Dance Theory, chat about stoned (and dry-diapered) President Brandon in a fighter jet, and announce a watch party for the new off-the-wall Hunter Biden movie (watch the trailer with us in the four food groups).
And subscribe for the full episode, including the extended interview with Kurt Metzger on call-out culture, Youtube suppression, and whatever the hell is going on with that “robot with salmon eyes” Mark Zuckerberg.
It’s all this, and more, on this week’s episode of Useful Idiots. Check it out.

Kurt needs to admit that he was fantasizing obsessively about sniffing Katie’s hair all day. Own up to damn reality and extremely significant issues!!! <lol
Biden was saying that you would need fighter jets to take on the us government, he meant what he said. I’d still say that’s a bad argument to those who support 2A as a counter measure to the government because of how successful our fancy military was in Vietnam or the Middle East, but Biden didn’t misspeak.
The US has always wanted control of Russia, not always, but for a hundred years at least.
Of course it's turning into a right wing Provid segment.
It's called Weibo…..China Twitter.
Jack Ma got persecuted for a while not because he made himself a kungfu master.
It's because he challenged and insult the China govt base on his outrageous greed. Ant Financial.
How can someone who talks for a living mumble and interrupt himself as much as Kurt does? How does anyone ever understand him? Unwatchable.
Photoshop of Kurt with Katie's hair… WHERE?!?
Kurt's audio feel so full while Katie's & Aaron's both sound like laptop mics. F'n amateurs.
@37min — The "crosstalk" style of comedy in Chinese culture is called "xiang-sheng". It tends to rely heavily on puns, which have to be explained to be understood due to the huge number of homophones in the language. As Kurt mentions, Abbot & Costello is a good comparison.
So why doesnt Russia destroy the electric grid and fuel supply? Are they afraid Europe will send troops that they are already doing? Or is Russia afraid of the missiles and hence the Russian air power is useless?
I don't think that was a stoned moment. He absolutely meant to say F-15. There is a certain subset of gun enthusiasts who believe they need guns in case they will have to rise up and overthrow the government. Biden was pointing out that the government is much better equipped than your average shitkicker with a semi-automatic. Doesn't matter how much tactical gear and AR-15s the local militia chapter have when the US military could just drop a drone missile on their compound.
Great hair Katie! 😍
you shouldn't let Kurt talk about China cos he is coming across like the rest of the moronic china haters on YT just saying shit about China without real insights or knowledge. He does come across a lot more intelligent when he is on Jimmy Dore cos I think Jimmy doesn't let Kurt talk to much or too long on certain topics.
Hey Kurt, just so you know that there are such a thing as "Premium Brands" of exceptional quality in China if you are willing to pay for it or able to afford it.
Is that the moron from the Jimmy Dore show ?
That looks like a great film: "My Son Hunter"
It's too bad Jordan Peterson has insulted so many people that nobody wants to give him a hug! Maybe he should be nicer!
Lesbian Dance theory is only 2- 6 credits. It's not a major. It's a filler class. BOEBERT would know that if she even went to college. 🙄 We need to support those who want or need to go back to College to finish as well for FREE! Especially those with jobs they are completely unqualified for!(BOEBERT!)
Love Kurt! I lived in NJ and remember Bob Grant! Also Don Imus loved him 😊
You just need to pay the cops to get away! Same in Russia! It's corrupt Capitalism.
If Kurt was there in 2016, things have changed a lot since he was there. It's a lot worse now. If you want up-to-date info on the situation in China, check out "The China Show" here on YT.

kurt is the best
Anybody that thinks Jordan Peterson is a Nazi is a full stop moron
These same people down play and ignore the myriad atrocities of lenin , Trotsky,Stalin etc
He(Rubio) was able to pay off because just like Churchill , he has lots of owners
Some people seem obsessed in their vengeful pursuit of Hunter Biden. But I say the guy deserves to catch a break. For a start his tormenters make no allowance for his youth (he’s only just turned 50) or the fact that that we’ve all had youthful indiscretions. I mean who among hasn’t been filmed naked with small children, fallen asleep with a crack pipe in our mouth, wrecked our Porsche while driving DUI, impregnated a pole dancer, shagged an under-age Ukrainian prostitute around the same time we were shagging our dead brother’s wife, left a crack pipe in a rental car, had child porn on our laptops, blown through millions of dollars or had a dishonourable discharge from the naval reserve?
No he definitely meant f-15s
They don't need AR-15s bc they already have those in spades
I love KURT!
