Dan Patrick is talking about the Artie and Nick show this morning. It sounds like he was the driving force behind this. He reached out to Artie about the possibility of doing a show in the same style as his. Simulcast on DirectTV, Fox Sports and streaming online.
Yesterday Dans bosses, Nick and Artie were meeting in LA to discuss the show.

I wonder if Howard would allow Nick and Artie do a "Win Artie's Money" contest - give a contestant a year and answer which teams played in the world series, etc?

I'm sure a segment like that would come up as an idea for the show.

Edit: I said allow because Howard "invented" that game. Plus, Artie would probably want to ask Howard's permission first.

I really hope that Stern manages to keep his schadenfreude under wraps... if he starts treating Artie like he has Stuttering John, then that will be the final nail in the coffin for me listening to his show.

This.

But not just for him to be dirty, the thing that really killed me about the FOX Sports thing from last week was just how uuugghhhhh radio it was. Rapid topics changes every 10 minutes, commercials every what felt like 30 seconds, totally interrupting the flow. Satellite and podcasts are spoiling as poo poo since you can see a real conversation flow and evolve for long periods of time uninterrupted :(

Hopefully he sticks to the same Artie-related stance that he has all along which is to not talk about it at all, or only the absolute bare minimum that he has to and still appear (vaguely) human.

I just hope Artie is well enough to do it. He's been through a lot and I don't want to see him relapse again. Opiate addiction is hell, and having a year or two to recover (on top of everything else) just seems to be too fast.

I was in Boston on 9/11, so it didn't feel quite as immediate as being in Manhattan, but I lost several colleagues that day. Also, my best friend at the time had just finished working a contract gig in one of the towers... he had been working there every day, just two weeks prior.

The 9/11 show was great, but the really important show to me was 9/12. I set my alarm for 5:55 so I could hear it from the beginning. Hearing the Sam Kinison bark, followed by 'American Nightmare' kicking in, was so totally relieving. A shred of normalcy.

My wife and I moved out of NYC on Sept. 1, 2001 and arrived in Los Angeles on Sept 10th. Woke up to my first day as a Californian to watch that on TV, so it was the one day I hadn't heard Howard live in quite some time.

Not quite as good as a birth-Takei-Hitler-day, but we did happen to be in the same room at Burbank's Safari Inn as Patricia Arquette and Christian Slater run out of in True Romance. (after fleeing from a pre-Sopranos James Gandolfini)



The following day a flag store sprung up in an empty storefront across the way and had a line down the street of patriotic rubes buying chinese garbage for the next week and a half.

one millionth of one millionth of a second
I was there that day. :( After the first tower fell and we all ran for our lives, I went numb and tuned into Stern on my Walkman. Then the second tower fell. I was in the crowd walking over the Brooklyn Bridge when Cabbie called in saying that we looked like a bunch of refugees and it was the saddest thing he'd ever seen. About 20 feet from me a woman who also had headphones on just busted out crying. She blubbered so hard that she just collapsed. A group of total strangers picked her up and comforted her. I've always assumed she was listening to Stern too, and Cabbie's description of her situation was just the straw that broke the camel's back. (gently caress you, Cabbie, for doing that to her.)

I remember listening to Stern all the way home. Then after the show ended, they went into that goddamn lovely, depressing Staind song that was a hit at the time. I was too numb to be outraged, I guess, but when I think back to that I always find myself wondering what the hell they were thinking.

Living in New York from September 12 of '01, to the big blackout in August of '03, was a very strange thing. I've worked in war zones and felt less paranoid dread than I did in New York at that time.

It was very odd being in the city the next week while everyone tried to get back to their normal lives.
I was eating lunch outside at Bryant Park Grill one day with people from work. Some construction company working nearby did something that caused a LOUD crash and simultaneously about 50 people sitting outside dropped under the tables or ran for cover into the park.
The whole city was on edge for months.

Jesus, I cant believe I didnt mention this earlier, but we got talking about the 9/11 show and I totally forgot.

Artie was on Dan Patrick today. I didnt listen live because I listened to the 9/11 and 9/12 shows.
Here is the link to his podcast where you can listen to it.

http://www.danpatrick.com/2011/07/15/artie-lange-talks-about-returning-to-radio-to-do-sports/

Some highlights if you dont want to listen

-No deal in place for a new show yet.
-Dan gets a good dig on Robin telling Artie he (Artie) always had to correct her about sports.
-Artie misses the Stern show "More then anything in the world"
-Howard called Artie while he was in the psych ward and many times during his recovery

It burns me hearing Howard talk about Stuttering John the way he does. SJ got a (at the time) sweet deal and Howard turned into an ungrateful bitch who was mad one of the litter managed to stop sucking the golden Jew teat.

I thought Howard was pretty cool with it and he was just mad specifically at Jay Leno for hiring John behind his back without talking to him about it. Then got Mad at John after he said publicly not to drink Howard's koolaid about something. I don't even remember what it was about, but Howard got super mad about that and that's what caused John to be dead to him.

I know, that's my gripe. Does John belong to Howard? No, he's an employee and nothing more. Who gives a poo poo who gives a gently caress how people find their employment, Howard should know that best.

Yeah that was only a few years ago right? I think it was in an interview and Howard just went completely apeshit. Then a few months later Howard did a complete 180 and said something like "I never said I hated John, what are you talking about" to a caller.

Not exactly. There's blame on both sides. John was an integral part of the show, but he was getting paid like an intern. Howard didn't pay him, the station did and they paid him peanuts even though he was risking getting beat up doing interviews. He asked for ways to make more money, but Howard wanted nothing to do with it. Anything outside the show was met with disdain by Howard. John's album was actually pretty good, but he couldn't get any stations to play it because of his association with the show. (I'm not saying he'd be a successful rock star, but the without radio airplay, his album was dead in the water.) He probably played fast and loose with the truth when he did that "I'm a celebrity, get me out of here" show, but it was the smartest thing he ever did. That stupid reality show is how he got noticed. Howard wanted him to fail. Period. He wishes John would have ended up like Jackie. John tried to call the show a few times and Howard either hung up or didn't take the call.

John was passive-aggressive with doing work, etc., but I don't blame him. They paid him poo poo, so he put in poo poo effort (when it came to office tasks, etc.)

I call bullshit on Howard though.

Before the KoolAid remark, Howard said he was mad at Jay and not John but then John makes that comment and Howard explodes\

Howard was pissed at John too. For working for Jay, for leaving the show, and for getting a better deal. This was just an excuse, kind of in a way, for lashing out at John for leaving and Howard relished it.

Pretty sure Stuttering John was a horrible prick, he was awesome on the radio, but everything about him screams that he will gently caress you over and laugh at you any chance he gets. I could see why poo poo went down that way.

I think Artie is giving Stern an easy way out: he's admitting fault to a lot of stuff and basically saying that it's over but it would be great to go back. He's not burning any bridges, he's just moved on like he did with MadTV. It's the best of all worlds: Stern can drop the subject altogether, Artie can move on with his life in another direction, and both sides can meet if they want without any hard feelings in public. If anything, Artie is a classy guy underneath all of the racial humor and self-destruction.
