I’m starting to think that a bunch of producers at FBN, having given up on legit business programming entirely, are trying to have some fun at the expense of their viewers. You know, fucking with them for a laugh and whatnot. That’s the only explanation I can come up with for why they felt the need to do yet another segment on how being a dick at work will, they claim, help you be more successful, proffering tips such as, “try doing little things, like interrupting someone while they’re talking. Especially during a big meeting.”

Wow, what timing! You know, if you want to be come a piranha, PERHAPS you might wish to try this when your industry is not going through recession (hint: this book is approximately 4 years behind schedule). Because that good will you’ve been heaping up will serve you well when people go cannibalistic.
But I guess it does make sense — if the guy is aiming to be a jerk, he doesn’t want to publish it when it will help anyone else.
That chick is totally hot.
Very hot. FBN is turning out some smokin’ hot chicks… I mean quality programming.
That guy is a *huge* pussy. I bet his jerk persona is a little like the snotty maitre d’ in Ferris Beuhler’s Day Off.
BTW, his other book, “House of Lies” is pretty funny.
I bet when he started acting like a “jerk” people around him just thought he was being a “queen”
Anna only dates real jerks. None of this pretend jerk crap!
Why do the honeys think they’re taken seriously? They need to start going topless to keep viewers. Seriously.
Wait a minute back it up a second, most people on the street would be considered asshole if they worked in any other business.
A more poignant question is how do you separate your own priorities from the that of your boss when your advancement becomes dependent upon pleasing the powers that be, which it always is. Then how do you avoid being bent over and having your shit pushed in, if anyone has an answer I’m all ears, it’d be useful to know.
Besides, that he’s entirely right, all winners are assholes, though all assholes aren’t winners.
Absolutely adorable.
“So why did you write this book?”
Brilliant. You get an A+ in journalism class. Don’t be late for the prom, sweetie.
As for you pigs – take a cold shower, she’s barely 16!
Am I the only one who heard a crash in the background early in the segment? Is my connection fucked up? Are the fellas loading kilos of cocaine too loudly on the docks of Red Hook? Is schizophrenia pumping through my veins after filling too many MS tables today? What the motherfuck…
I don’t care what anyone says about Chuck G. There’s never a “bump” in the background when the mouthpiece of god is on the telly. This is not acceptable.
Did Bess get dumped on by FBN? Most likely lol.
1st those Fast Track segments don’t air on FBN on weekdays and don’t you know already that if you want serious news 24/7 then go watch Bloomberg.
2nd, Keep being giddy over those old viewer data. Fox News only had around 10,000 viewers it’s 1st year and it was a news channel not the more difficult to lure business viewers.
3rd, FBN is only on basic cable in NYC, you need to upgrade to the digital package to get it everywhere else and it’s only available in 30+ million homes.
Let’s seewho has the last laugh in 2-4 years.
@3:36 good one, fox business exec.
“Let’s seewho has the last laugh in 2-4 years.” i’m already laughing at that.
I’m not Fox hahahaha. I just didn’t want to waste my time registering here. Well if you’re around ICN or TVN, I’m Lurker.
