This week I talk to Jimmy Dore, a very funny, political comedian and radio personality. We have a smart, funny discussion about his recent book,"Your Country is Just Not That Into You."  We discuss our politcal system, and how the media, government, and banks have been slowly ruining the American economy. We also get into his start in Comedy, what makes for good and bad comedy and comedy clubs and alot more. Jimmy is so great in this interview because he shows how he uses his comedy to really make some killer, smart points about everything under the sun.

Each week Emmy & Peabody award winning comedian Paul Mecurio interviews a wide range of A-list guests from entertainment, media, sports, music, politics and science including, Paul McCartney, Stephen Colbert, Bryan Cranston, Judd Apatow, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Adam Carolla, Jay Leno, Sugar Ray Leonard, Kristen Chenoweth, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Bob Costas and more. A compelling interviewer, Paul uncovers hilarious anecdotes and surprising insights about his guests and how they became so successful in ways never heard before. Paul got in to comedy in a unique way (after working on Wall St. as a lawyer and investment banker) so he's interested in how people started, how they got to where they are and their process.
