First let me say thank you for interjecting a Con-Bob statement. I was beginning to worry the thread was becoming too overwhelmingly positive.
But I think you are confusing rude with inexperienced. Neither Bob nor myself have much radio experience and I even caught myself cutting off a couple of guests in our early interviews. Though I've been called a lot of things in my day, rude really isn't one of them. I was just too focused on getting everything in and the quickly evaporating time constraints. It's really easy to do.
When I noticed our failings I brought it up to Bob and he immediately agreed we needed to work on it together, and we've been trying to do better since.
If you hear us do ANYTHING on-air that you think could use improvement, please don't hold your counsel. We need your insight to improve...and at least speaking for myself, I love constructive criticism, as long as it is constructive and some good comes out of it.
My Mother always used to say, "If only god the gift would give us, to see ourselves as others see us."
It's not an easy thing to do! Keep the comments coming.
Oh and "Don't cut off your guests". Got it...check.

Also, I had to chuckle when I read Bob was waiting for the Senior drawing. I find it hard to believe he stands around waiting for the $1000 drawing. (I am sure he got paid more than that for mentioning M in his article.)

Suggesting to someone that he pay $300 to Bob for scouting machines? Is this guy for real? That's nuts! He is lucky the guy didn't get up and punch him in the face for that obnoxious comment! (If he did, maybe someone would have paid him $300 for the punch ;-) )
