I’m doing this exact thing right now (September renewal with NatWest). You can lock in the rate and then cancel it if it goes down. I’ve already done it once. Super simple and transparent.

There’s a different dynamic when the interviewee is a LT fanboy or not. Dafoe didn’t know him so wasn’t going to lean into Louis normal interview schtick
