Newsday interviewed a bunch of reporters over the weekend about how hard it is to cover a recession, and their various coping mechanisms for getting through the difficult period. Obviously there’s only one we (you) care about. Apparently he was short on time, otherwise you know he would’ve gotten down to the nitty gritty re: BoFlex routines, Myoplex shakes, Champion sweatshirts without sleeves, and getting bombed at Elaine’s after a hard day at the office. As an aside, is “colleagues” a loose term that includes the Dealbreaker community? If not, I give you permission, nay, strong encouragement, to get angry.
Charles Gasparino is a former amateur boxer-turned-reporter for publications including Newsweek, The Wall Street Journal and Newsday. But those days in the ring probably are serving him best now as he works the longest, hardest and most downbeat story of his career for CNBC as its on-air editor.
“I work out every day for an hour and 15 minutes,” he says, and by “work out,” “Gaspo” – as he’s known to colleagues – does wind sprints by the East River near his home in Stuyvesant Town and a fast set of 36 pull-ups and sit-ups. “You just crank ‘em out,” he says. The nighttime decompression routine, however, is different: “I do occasionally include an alcoholic beverage,” he says.
“There’s a reason I make a good martini now.”
Gaspo does squats at the Blue Oyster.
I dont mind Charles – its Donny Douchebag that and the everlying Jim Lamer who make my stomach revolt.
Apparently John Stewart and Fox News exposed Kramer telling one thing to his TV audience and another to an insider (caught on tape).
CNBC should put these two clowns together on a financial comedy hour,before its own reputation keeps going down the toilet.
Watching Kramer is like watching 1 hour of a Crazy Eddie commercial (Coulter).
Being a former boxer would help explain some of the dumb shit that comes out of his mouth.
He left out the part about his steam room routine with the towel boy at Equinox.
No mention of the camelbak filled with equal parts of creatine and vodka? Or the fact that he’s sponsored by Boar’s Head when competing in triathlons?
Newsday: get on your shit.
Give me back that fillet-o-fish!
