Update: After leaving him several threatening-ish sounding voicemails, we finally got in touch with Mr. Gasparino, who shed some light. Regarding the first message, he doesn’t remember what it was about. The second two were apparently left after he’d been lied to about Lehman Brothers COO Joseph Gregory and CFO Erin Callan getting fired, and needed to “put the pedal to the metal.” Though other journalists might’ve vehemently denied having left such messages, for fear of being called out for juicing, No Sleeves stood his ground.
“I’m unfazed [by the fact that someone put the voicemails on YouTube],” NS told Dealbreaker. “You should’ve seen and heard me ten years ago. I’m mellow now.” Gasparino did add, however, that whoever decided to upload and make public his cell phone number (which we removed from our clip), should sleep with one eye open, because his “buddies at the FBI are going to find out who you are.”
Update 2: Let it be known that Gasparino was the one to break the Gregory/Callan Story.
Update 3: Since we had him on the phone again, we asked No Sleeves why he chose not to curse in any of his messages. They were great, obviously, but a few well-timed ‘mother-fucker’s could’ve really added something special, not to mention probably have gotten the recipients to call back. According to Sans Sleeves, “I didn’t curse because I was on vacation in San Diego and calling from my hotel room, and my wife was within earshot.”

And the FBI is going to do what now????
their buds w/ AT&T will help them out… all one happy family under the new “security” monitoring we got goin’ on in the house…
wtf?
bahahahah
Why can’t no sleeves find Dick Fuld?
Was that Mikey?
Bess, I think that might be your greatest post ever! Please don’t ever leave us!
Pulling out the “buddies at the FBI” threat is for 4th rate muckrakers,Charlie.You’ll turn into a parody of Steve Dunleavey before you know it.
Buddies at the fbi? Yea you are pissed, but Fbi isn’t gonna happen. Change your number and move on
I wonder what Gasparino and Alec Baldwin’s voice messages to each other sound like.
superb!
Bess, old news. We called Charlie early this morning.
Go ahead and put these voicemails up with Pat O’Brien/Alec Baldwin Hall of Fame level.
I imagine the same type of tone is delivered to Mrs. Gasparino moments before dinner time.
CG – “I better get some of that broccolli rabe NOW, NOW means NOW woman.”
This is the shit that makes me book my travel through Sherman!!! Fuck yeah!
@1…agreed, not sure where the underlying crime is – or at least a federal crime.
Bess, WHO/WHAT IS NS???
And greatest voicemail of all time is a bit of a stretch. Go listen to Pat O’Brien talk about coke and hookers on his voicemails.
Full Disclosure: Charlie is short sleeves
all charlie, all the time -the new ibank blog model.
anyone covering their shorts this afternoon?
oh, that’s right.
-retail
pimpin’. got mad respeck for Charlie now.
best ever? come on. this guy can’t hold a candle to bill o’reily…
Best of financial journalists
You people are disgusting.
Capitalism as we know it is disintegrating before our very eyes and you’re obsessing over some voice messages.
(btw, that was fucking awesome).
Ha, FBI right. New York is a one party consent state. Hopefully you are a better reporter than you are a lawyer.

I want to be in vacation
@ 17 thank you made me lol cuz it is so true…..
Sounds like Bess after a date, “you better call me…”
like you’d know, 26.
Love him or hate him, you gotta admit he can sound the shit. Probably told his wife to take a smoke break in between fuck-sessions while he made a call.
My wish is to see him punch Dennis Kneale in the face. Now THAT is YouTube worthy.

i’m surprised he didn’t threaten to bust knee-caps.
Yeah, let me see. Im losing my job, Im about to be worthless, but let me call Charlie Gasparino back ASAP.
Guy really thinks he is a credible journalist, hysterical

@ 30/31
The bar isn’t set very high, my friend (I’d name names but the list is long and not always particularly distinguished)
Am I a complete novice if I don’t know the term, “juicing?”
Thinking the same thing #33
are you people joking? “juicing” refers to using steroids

you guys are pumped over a voicemail of him saying “Right Now!” very angrily? man you guys are desperate.
@26 – Kudos my friend.
I’m not certain, but I’m pretty sure you can hear him biting off a hunk of provolone in the middle of that message.
Guest 15, did you notice how NS was red while the rest of the text was black? That means you can click on it to find out what NS means. Welcome to the internet.
Cheers!
this is so fantastic, it deserves a reprint today. cg even alluded to it this morn when he was doing his schtick!
@40– what’d he say?!
gasparino your an asshole . If you called me with that type of message, I would tell you to go f— yourself. I would then call the local police and hve your ass locked up for being an ahole’
Did you see Ritholtz and Gasparino go toe-to-toe on CNBC ?
BR hates CG , and vice versa

Gasparino was using crazy wingnut talking points that Ritholtz had already debunked elsewhere. Gaspar is a wingnut, besides a big good for nothing (except spread false rumors) jerk. The SEC should be on this guy’s tail.
More importantly, who vacations in San Diego? Too many illegals down there for my taste.
