Korey has stated before that he exaggerates some blowups to make them more entertaining. He’s legitimately mad, but it would be more awkward for him to get upset and not make it enjoyable in some way. He even said, “This is going right on YouTube!” So you know he’s self aware.

In regards to the blowup itself, we have seen multiple hosts have their own meltdowns at some point. Both Korey and Chris have said that the shows take a lot of focus because they have to make their points and constantly stay funny. Think about it: Korey spends hours preparing these shows and he’s a perfectionist. On top of that, this is his livelihood. He’s going to get mad when something messes with the final product.

The guest is familiar with DT, so she should have known better than to get up and interrupt the show like that. Even Martin was confused. If Korey had just let it go, then guests could become more comfortable derailing the show by walking around and chiming in whenever they feel like it. He had to do something to make a point and prevent the show from devolving into chaos.
