If You’re On The Phone With Charlie Gasparino And Hear Heavy Breathing, Grunting On The Other End, Don’t Worry, That’s Normal

By Bess Levin

He’s just in between sets.

Every morning, I jog to the park and do pull-ups and push-ups and wind sprints. It’s about an hour-and-a-half routine–six sets—and between sets I’m checking my email, making five-minute calls (I save the long interviews for when I get to the office), and looking at stories. You’d be surprised how much you can get done; by the time the workout’s done I have my day planned. My day on TV starts around 11 and I’m usually on air until about 7. I do “hits”–I’ll come on at least three times a day to do planned stories. If I’m doing a hit on Dobbs at 7:30, say, I’ll have an hour and a half of downtime because the day’s gone–the Wall Street guys hit the bars around 4:30 or 5–so I’ll usually hit the gym and do a 30-40 minute pure weights workout at Fox. In the gym I have my BlackBerry on constantly.

    Imagine the benefit to humanity if Chaz swapped his workout routine with Raj-Raj for the latter’s info network.

    Really, if there was ever a human being that deserved more than two God-given arms and hands it’s Charlie. 

    What he could do if he had another set of limbs with opposable thumbs would boggle the mind.

    If you’re on the phone with me and hear heavy breathing and grunting on the other end, don’t worry, I am just on the other line being “interviewed” by Becky Quick.

    If you’re on the phone with me and hear heavy breathing and grunting on the other end, don’t worry, I am just doing my part to help out a hotel maid in distress.

    “the Wall Street guys hit the bars around 4:30 or 5″

     I call bullshit. I have the same routine on my light days and I have never seen you and any of these places.

    Chaz is a fag, not that there is anything wrong with that of course.  Just an observation.

    Apparently in Charlie’s world it’s still 1985.

    Why is he such a fat, out of shape lump with this much working out?  What a ridiculous liar.

    Mr. Gasparino, if you get this message, your special-order micronized creatine suppositories are ready for pick-up.

    Let the record show Chaz only works out his glamour muscles.
