I listen to Dave Ramsey pretty regularly and I'm here to tell you: the rant that you're about to listen to is the best. thing. I. have. ever. heard. in. my. whole. life.

A nice lady e-mails Dave to ask whether it's OK to let her husband co-sign on a car loan for his parents. Dave explains why that's a bad idea and then goes. . . completely nuts.

Click here to listen to the call in its entirety -- and forward to anyone you know who might ever considering co-signing for anything ever for anyone.
