Rob is a self important jerk and he needs to get over TACO. Is this seriously his career high water mark, an acronym? It drives me nuts how much he interrupts generally, and patronizes her, in particular. This is lazy, insecure behavior which does not make him look smarter. And we get it, he’s not very smart.

My favorite podcast on money and markets. Katie Martin is a gem; she’s funny and smart, but lacks the arrogance and condescension of the hosts of other financial podcasts. Listen and learn.
