He’s appeared on the show a bunch of times since the Car People incident but we’re told the Mackster is done on Fast Money, info seemingly corroborated* by he fact that his picture and bio have been wiped from the FM page (they were apparently still up two days ago). Nod if you understand what I’m saying and then do us a favor.
*Update: Confirmed by CNBC’s Brian Steel, who told DB, “We wish Jeff well and thank him for all his quality contributions.”


And travel to a world in which JM wasn’t just replaced with a one of his former co-workers and we got to pick anyone we wanted to take his seat. Fantasy Fast Money team edition. We say: Stephen Baldwin, who could use the money.

    Hi, Mark Haines here – Who is Jeff Macke?

  2. Posted by guest | June 15, 2009 at 2:51 PM

    Being a Car People is the new killin’ it. I dismissed all others years ago.

  3. Posted by guest | June 15, 2009 at 2:52 PM

    Macke was too wacky.

  4. Posted by Investorcluzo | June 15, 2009 at 2:53 PM

    speaking of people who have gone MIA, seems to me the “contributors” are contributing for other blogs. when will their names be taken off this site? just askin’…

  5. Posted by guest | June 15, 2009 at 2:54 PM

    Is/was EP Macke?

  6. Posted by guest | June 15, 2009 at 2:55 PM

    who would win in a fight? Macke v. Whitney?

  7. Posted by guest | June 15, 2009 at 2:58 PM

    cluzo@4- you’re like 2 weeks behind the curve. it was evident to anyone who read the first post that “marla” was ep by the painful attempts a humor, conspiracy theories, and 989,388-word posts. And then there was the night she was DJing the music that made the ears of anyone who heard it bleed.

    Are Car People like Mud People?

  9. Posted by guest | June 15, 2009 at 3:05 PM

    @6- whitney, hands down.

  10. Posted by guest | June 15, 2009 at 3:06 PM

    6 Normally I’d try to be funny and post that Whitney would kick his ass, but not against Macke. He was the inspiration for Col. Kurtz’s character in Apocalypse Now.

    @4 cluzo, its your ex girlfriend here, after the first time we had sex i was so disgusted with myself that i went over to TGFD’s place and let him live out his sick fantasies on me..

  13. Posted by Investorcluzo | June 15, 2009 at 3:08 PM

    @7 – yes, we are all aware of who the “intern” is, however, the fact remains that she and mr. richards are listed as “contributors” on the db homepage…

    @7 & Cluz-
    Apparently i’ve missed a lot during the past few weeks :-(
    I’m starting a new club, creatively named: “Save Jeff Macke: Jesus Of The Car People”.. it’ll add nicely to my “Save Ralph Cioffi: Jesus of the ABS and the CDO” club.
    Where’s Hatchetman been lately?

    Viva Le Macke!

  15. Posted by guest | June 15, 2009 at 3:10 PM

    @13- from what I’ve heard (from DB), EP will contribute on a sporadic basis when her particular voice is necessary. Don’t know what you’re talking about with Richards.

    i’m thinking Macke’s kind of like the Juggernaut… but i’d still take Whitney. I know it might not seem so obvious on TV but she’s about 6’8″, 275lbs (mostly muscle)… one tough lady. I’m thinking KO.

    @4
    Where is William Richards? I thought he was studying for the CFA and returned.
    We all know where EP is and what identity she is now assuming. But I’m afraid she might show up as Muffie once in a blue moon.
    DB doesn’t do a good job updating their roster. They need to train an intern to do it.

  30. Posted by guest | June 15, 2009 at 3:23 PM

    @27- Richards was here as of last Friday. EP is presumably still on the roster for when she shows up as Muffie, one of her ten personalities.

    @7 yeah, that “DJ” set was brutal. but the conspiracy theorists seemed to eat it up.

    @11 – I thought we went over this last week. you were supposed to get over me already. as for tgfd, don’t you remember I was there with the camcorder you bought me for my bday. have you been drinking? seriously, you need to get better material…

    Did Melissa Lee ever get a “cute” new nickname when Dylan Ratigan aka The Commissioner left? Whenever she filled in before, she was The Emissary.
    …I wish Becky “The Contessa” Quick was on FM more, sporting her boots.
    @6 – Macke would win, he’d fishhook/eyegouge the hell out of her.

    Ken Lewis?

  50. Posted by guest | June 15, 2009 at 3:44 PM

    Will Macke be playing himself in the Wall Street sequel? Or will the ventriloquist from Heroes be doing it?

  51. Posted by guest | June 15, 2009 at 3:45 PM

    The Bale “behind the scenes on FM” footage would be great.

    Cluzo’s Ex@#11…
    As TGFD recalls, that “sick fantasy” is something that belongs to you and is what brought you over to my place that night.
    You clearly became distressful when TGFD turned you away, so now you’re trying to slander my good name by making up shit and posting it on DB.
    Many chicks have fantasies about TGFD. Too bad yours didn’t work out, so your frustration is understandable.

    @infinite guest- ummm, I was simply making the logical next step of the joke, that the idea of Tong (of Ping v. Tong) on TV would also have you in stitches…
