Jeff Macke: “Either I’ve Gotten Off The Bus in Crazytown…”

By SteveK 

Every couple weeks there’s another entertaining on-air CNBC anchor argument, but last night on CNBC Reports was an especially weird one.

Dennis Kneale hosted, but it was Fast Money contributor Jeff Macke who was angry about…something:

Macke: “I’m going to talk to you like a child. Nod if you’re with me.”

Kneale: Nod if you’re with me…I have no idea what you’re saying.

Macke: I’m saying that you’re talking to people who seem crazy, and either I’m a tremendous relief to you, or this is a really elaborate joke on me, but I’m thinking you’re smart enough to get this joke, at this point, 34 minutes into the show when you’ve started talking to auto people, that you’ve gone crazy. Nod.

We’re not nodding. Here’s the clip of the whole exchange:
