He's yelling because that's been his schtick from the beginning. Don used to be the "angry one" while Mike generally followed his lead. The problem is Don did it when, you know, he meant it. Right away Mike figured his show needed that "edginess" to survive but it always seemed contrived. No doubt he is truly a bombastic asshole to his crew off-air, but the on-air stuff is just, at least mostly, faux anger, to be used at the slightest opportunity. I mean he blows up at callers in a second. "I talk, you talk, OK?" Then he proceeds to talk over the caller for 30 seconds about something the caller wasn't talking about then hangs up on him.
And his yelling is annoying. BethANNN!! Jesus.
On a better note, for those that can't wait till Monday morning when (hopefully) you can listen to Don on a stream, he's messing with audio-Twittering now. Little chunks but nice to hear his voice.
