It's actually pretty awsome to watch.

I listen (not much to see) to SA after the sip so I can get a more natural pacing at 1.25 speed. I have listened to a dozen or so clanks, though I don't know the origin of that saying. He's a smug person too. Smart folk tend to condescend.
The shared attribute is that both present a genuine character to their audience. I'm confident that SA and Styx would both be the people they are public facing. I appreciate those that just say what's on their mind; etiquette be damned.
Just yesterday I had figured out the chaos of people, signs, and doors to get into the Keller auditorium and advised inquisitive people of what the system was, only to learn I was completely wrong as I arrived at the door. Smugness is likely to lead more astray than any other personality type.
Generally though, confidence arises from being generally correct. False confidence; don't know what to do about that.
Have you listened to any Peter Z. lectures? They're all approximately the same content, but fascinating to see predictions made pre-pandemic and pre-Russian invasion prove accurate within the years predicted.
