Is he the fat guy with the bloated triple neck that's swallowing his head who wears black framed glasses who I initially was like "Hey, Artie shaved. And looks horrible" when I saw him on the show the one time I watched it? Also, gently caress Nick. He's a douchebag and him getting fired makes me laugh more than anything he's ever written or said.

How long before Artie flips out on the twins and gets fired/sued?

AxeManiac posted:I think Bocchetti is some kind of Skrull super soldier amalgamation of every whack packer on the stern show. He kind of sounds like Ed Torian too. Here's a quick criticism of Nick and Artie's radio chops: they never explain what happens in this clip to their audience. As far as radio listeners are concerned, Nick and Artie just crack up out of nowhere. Nick eventually says something about a dart gun but if you can't see the visual you have no idea what is so funny. That should be Radio 101.

The Artie Bocchetti chemistry is comedy gold. Reminds me of Ricky and Karl. Bill Burr should be the new Co-host. Elphiem fucked around with this message at 20:57 on Jan 12, 2013 |

Dredging up the Lena Dunham chat from two pages back; I found this on Imgur. "I just want to give credit to Lena Dunham for bringing a new body type to TV. You are amazing and inspiring. Thank you."  Apparently average to pudgy is a new body type. Who knew?

So was Beth up for a role on Girls before Howard called Grimace there a little fat pig or something? That rambling backpedaling mea culpa this morning was bizarre.

Remember when he called Gabourey Sidibe "the size of the earth" (or something close)? A whole bunch of people got enraged, and Howard had to angrily scream that what he really meant was that she was unhealthy and she wasn't going to be able to get any more acting work because she was so big. He didn't call her "fat" to be mean; it was because he cared about her.

I just find it funny how every time you turn on the TV you hear "KIDS THESE DAYS ARE TOO FAT EVERYONE IS GOING TO DIE WARGHLE" but then everyone keeps talking about how "beautiful" that Gabourey girl is (she isnt'). Also, I think I remember one of the women on "The View" ranting against Howard, even though she almost died from being so heavy, and is now much much thinner. I think it was Star Jones. haljordan fucked around with this message at 21:45 on Jan 14, 2013 |

Also after everyone claiming Sidibe would be a star after Precious when Howard said she'll be lucky to be working it turns out that, shocker, nobody wants to watch a 400lb woman act unless she's playing a bit part(which is exactly what she's done in the 3 movies she's been in since Precious came out in 2009).

I mean, Howard basically said "You have to be thin to be a movie star" which is so goddamn obvious if you watch any movie for more than three minutes. People acted like he revealed some ridiculous Hollywood secret.

He probably learned some Hamptons friend of a friend is involved with the show. Either that or Beth really likes the show and she got super mad at him. The fact that a fat woman will occasionally get naked on a TV show is a dumb thing to complain about though.

I've been listening to this show for the last 15 years or so, and even I can't tell whether Robin is serious about her British accent. Does she really think she can fool anybody with that? It was haaarrible. If she had actually started talking like that through every show, I would have had to give up the show permanently.

If I may, as I believe that I am the lone female in the thread... Lena Dunham's main problem is the way she dresses. She wears things that a very thin person should be wearing - if she dressed in a way that took focus off her less toned parts like every other human being she'd be good to go. I honestly believe if she wasn't trying so hard to be a hipster, we wouldn't be having this conversation. (Nude photo aside) I just watched season one of Girls OnDemand and I swear to God while I was watching it I kept thinking this would be a Howard show. I found it hard to sit through - it definitely had its moments, but I had to keep reminding myself we were supposed to think Lena Dunham's character was a spoiled brat.

The Artie Lange saga continues to be one of the most prolific demonstrations of falling upwards in entertainment history. He gets let go from one of the most popular radio shows in history after an extremely public bout with heroin addiction, attempts suicide (or "tries to get high" with a butcher knife if you buy his story), gets offered to co-host a show with Nick out of the blue and Nick is the one who ends up gone!?

First few hours are already up on http://www.artielangeshow.com as well. It's funny how Artie cites Nick's wish to be more political as one of the reasons for being let go when Nick was the one seemingly steering the show at management's behest. Show is rough but at least on par with the last few months of N&A. Nothing spectacular so far though, lots of hamming it up and laughing too hard at things. Also they just deleted the entire N&A podcast archive? Harsh.

Bigfoot attacked some cops with a sword because he told a social services person he was going to burn his house down. He was found incompetent to stand trial and is being held on 50k dollar bail at a mental institution until he's sentenced or whatever. Lieberman says we might never see him again

Howard joked that they should pay his bail and keep him in the studio permanently and my heart jumped a little. How does bail for something like that work, anyway? You pay his bail and he's fine to be released as a mentally incompetent danger? Isn't that irresponsible?

I think Lena Dunham is more attractive than any porn star they've ever had in the studio.  Howard's drumming was hilarious, but why is Wipe Out always held up as some achievement? It's just constant 16th notes with accents here and there...
