Considering his diet, lifestyle, and the fact that he refuses to change for anything, I'm betting that in two years he will have lost a foot or a leg and be dead within three.

Definatly give the first hour a listen to.

The highlight is Artie having to take a leak but not being able to make it to the bathroom in time so he goes in a trash can in the studio. But since he's so fat, he ends up missing and pissing on the wall.

Then he makes one of the twins come in a clean it up and she freaks out.

Ugh. Artie used to make me laugh my rear end off but now he just sounds like every other star with talent who's content to throw it all away no matter how many chances they're given. I really don't expect to be too upset when he dies.

In the case of last week, AGT taped late the night before so he would not have gotten to jack off to baby sitter porn, " give it to Beth really good", and then sleep for 9 hours before coming into do a show for 3 hours.

In Howard's defense, he's pretty clear on the fact that he doesn't give it to her all that well ... but on the other hand, he then usually asserts that she likes it that way because she's "not into foreplay".

Today's show is great so far. Opened with pants-making GBS threads stories from Ronnie and Leiberman and now Will the Farter blasting off in his mom's face. His mom owns.

Oh wow, I wonder if it has anything to do with treating the twins like poo poo. He's gotten downright nasty over the last few weeks. I noticed that there were 9 minutes missing from one of the recent podcasts (I think part 3 of Friday's show), wonder if that's when it went down. At any rate it's a shame, I've listened to every N&A since they began :smith:

Earlier, someone said Artie tried pissing in a trash can but hit the wall instead, and made one of the twins clean it up. That might have done the trick. :shrug:

I think about this alot. You'd be hard pressed to find a more compelling, fantastic, and depressing story than Artie Lange's entire show business career. From filling up orange juice trucks on the docks to Mad TV to punching cops on coke to making ridiculous amounts of cash being the fat neighbor on a sitcom nobody watched to working with his lifelong idol on the biggest radio show ever to making his own film to N&A and now who knows what the hell, all the while being insanely self destructive at every single turn.

I get so bummed out whenever I listen to an old stern show and they bring up or talk to Dana. Dude never seemed happier.

Most of them on his level are dead, like Chris Farley, and by all accounts it's a miracle Artie isn't dead too.

In my head I gave the N&A show two years before it crashed and burned but I wasn't even close.

Yeah, it's insanely reactionary and self-destructive but that's not at all surprising coming from Artie "You have to fire me? Fire me" Lange.

This just kinda reaffirms why we will never ever see Artie on the HSS ever again.

I guess this is pretty horrible to say, but if he does die soon, I hope it's before Stern's contract is up. I'd be beyond curious to hear Howard's lengthy uncensored honest take on everything that he held back since the suicide attempt.

Howard probably still wouldn't talk about it, Artie is just a no go subject with him, and I think mainly because "Howard didn't see it" and always trusted him.

I wonder if there would be such a thing. Since Artie left - even when he was doing well - he has almost never been mentioned on the show. It's like he never existed. Part of me feels that Howard (or staff) feel guilt for enabling him toward his downward spiral. It'd be impossible to do an Artie memorial without touching on how the show helped push him to the edge.

I think they're keeping their mouths shut for the bad press. With Howard getting a TV gig, this isn't the time to bring up the addict that they helped enable for years on end, right up until he attempted suicide. It's just something that can't be spun into anything constructive.

That said, this whole year for Stern has been poo poo: Robin's dealing with health issues, Artie is relapsing again, and Howard is pretty much getting a TV career. A wild ride, to say the least.

As mentally crazy as Howard is it wouldn't surprise me if he somehow feels like he's to blame for Artie's suicide attempt.

I kind of feel like Howard thinks its for the baby gorillas own good to be essentially shut out from the Howard Stern Show in hopes it doesn't drag him back to where he was that night with the knife set.

My theory kind of goes the other way - Howard demands complete loyalty and devotion from the people he surrounds himself with, and if he doesn't feel like he is getting it, he cuts that person completely out of his life, almost like they never existed. Ie, Artie "betrayed" him, and thus is no more.

TMZ has a story about the Artie Lange suspension.

Artie Lange Suspended by DirecTV for Pissing Incident.

http://www.tmz.com/2012/07/30/artie-lange-suspended-direct-tv-nick-and-artie-show-pissing/

Does anyone else think this shows how little he cares about his current gig? Artie would sleep, call in sick, and show up hosed up for the Stern show (which is maybe worse), but he would never piss in the studio. If Richard or Sal pissed in the studio he would be the first to call them gross, disgusting, and not funny.

If it wasn't a bit and he asked the twins to clean it up that is worse then having Baba Booey clean up his Hi-C. I believed Artie when he said he didn't notice it, but now I wonder.

I still love the guy, but for someone that claimed to be a germ phob on the Stern show it seems like odd behavior.

Hope he's clean and good.
