Hot Sluts Are The One Thing Fox Business Can Do Right And They Can’t Even Do That
And yet, despite the fact that the strippers they had on “Happy Hour” yesterday weren’t nearly as good looking as FB’s anchors, I still enjoyed the segment, for these reasons:
- “Sprites and vodkas”
- The strippers don’t get stools.
- Cody not letting the “sales are up 98 percent” comment fly.
- This exchange: "I understand your stock has a double d top...that was a joke." "Yeah...I got it."
- The blonde nodding her head pensively to Cody's insights.
- The absence of Rebecca, for contractual reasons (“The only hooch at the bar is me. It’s in my contract.”)








Comments
I used to work for "Deja Light", a "gentleman's club" in Houston while going to school. I was the "accountant". A greek guy owned it.
If you have ever worked in that sort of business you would know that there are drugs, prostitution, alcoholic excesses and rampant collaborative fraud re expenses.
Of course, that experience is why I fit in so well in finance/trading these days.

what do you have against Greek guys?

Hes not their ideal customer because there were no dudes there.
Seriously, FBN is the lowest common denominator right?? Who would watch this and think they have anything constructive to say about the markets??
Probably the same people who watch Cramer, the guy who loved BSC at 100

Wow, you can get strip clubs for 3-5x EBITDA? That's amazing, no wonder they're rolling up everything in sight.
They definitely need better-looking strippers though...

Finally, FBN does something that justifies its existence

Compare a chart of various energy commodities to RICK's daily bar chart and be amazed.

The strippers did not get stools but for some reason their ass is numb, wonder why?
Posted by: slimjim | January 11, 2008 11:06 AM
who the hell watches FBN? Other than DB just to make fun? This shit is ridiculous? Cody looks like he should be working on my transmission...was that a dip he had in?

What exactly is that at 3:38 in the video? Catepillars? Do some folks like to "sell shares" onto pre-pupa insects?

Memo to FBN:
Gomez. Byrnes. Thongs. Bar Dances.
Ratings.

@11:26. The first (and only) day I watched Happy Hour and FBN, I posted that they should offer wet T-shirt contest (since it was a bar). Roger or Ruppie never took me up on the idea.

Does Cody like girls? Have to wonder after seeing the end of the vid...
Posted by: Ben Dover | January 11, 2008 11:49 AM
I bet after the show, Cody was all like:
"Hey, you ladies wanna drop by for some sprites and vodkas? I'll toss in a couple HotPockets, we can play some Xbox..."

Seriously hurtin' chicks. B*tches, man... b*tches.
I'm embarrassed FOR fox biz.
Posted by: inIT4the$ | January 11, 2008 12:25 PM
love cramer but he is embarrassing w/erin burnett, esp since she is not remotely hot or funny or intelligent.
erin is so unsexy she couldn't even be a stripper.
Posted by: Anonymous | January 11, 2008 12:31 PM
nah, man, don't be hatin on the strippers!
they are just workin, tryin to get by, bein exploited by the man.
(and they don't even get stools)

Cody is a twink. Bro's before ho's- have fun at the end of the night with your bro riding you instead of some ho Cody.
Posted by: slimjim | January 11, 2008 12:58 PM

i assume the same thing

FOX had a chance to be competitive with CNBC which has become almost unwatchable...and then FBN is equally unwatchable...who produces and directs the crap...the camera work is terrible..glick is pretty until she starts screeching...the abrasive blonde and avuncular old boring dude in the a.m. suck...we have to keep switching to ESPN to avoid throwing coffee mugs at the tvs.

C'mon! PERFECT opportunity to respond "You know Cody, I prefer to think of our stock as 'topless'."
Brilliant!

The stripper in the red dress went to shake Cody's hand at the end and he totally dissed her! She's probably tar and feathering herself as I type "I got dissed by that sprite and vodka drinking bastard!! life just isn't worth it anymore!!"
Posted by: analyst | January 11, 2008 04:31 PM
She was already loaded...Cody keeps a nice big pitcher of sloe gin fizzes just off camera for the guests.

Anyone else notice how much of a bum Cody is? He closed his hedge fund just like Sykes and now look at this crap he does for Faux News. I knew that guy was a loser..
