This was Opie's show right after Artie's second book came out, so ~2014. His Artie Quiter podcast was pretty new at the time and he commonly went on there and gave his opinions about what was happening with the show (specifically going after Turk). This was before the possession arrest and the nose cave-in.

I've been in an Artie rabbit hole lately and have been trying to unravel all the bullshit that went on, but there's just so much of it.

What does heroin cost anyway? Artie has said he was earning 900k a year on the Stern show, but with all his clubs and private shows he was making closer to 4 million a year at his best. Even after taxes that still leaves him with a lot, but it sounds like he's pretty much broke.

In a interview last fall with Dan Falato he said he had to buy the mortgage on Artie's house since he didn't have enough until the payment for his book deal came in. And so far he's never paid Dan back yet and they barely speak to one another anymore.

Artie was a drug addict and a degenerate gambler who probably spent his money the second he earned it. He'd do gigs at casinos and leave his whole fee at the tables. I'm guessing he didn't save very much and I think he sold that shore house at a pretty bad loss.

edit: Pretty ironic that Artie owes a guy named Dan money now lol

I'm not shocked that he is broke. Heroin is very expensive as are lawyers and fines for when you get caught. He also supports his mom and supported a number of assistants over the years. He owned a couple of homes, some nice cars, liked crazy nights and food, gambled like a fiend... It definitely didn't seem like he was saving for the future during those lucrative years.

While J.D. Harmeyer eats from the McDonald's dollar menu, chubby Stern show sidekick Artie Lange was spending THIRTY GRAANNDDD a night on black tar heroin.

Artie was probably paying around $7-$10 per bag. He lived in an area that had one of the worst heroin problems on the entire East Coast. I don't know if he ever talked about how many bags he was going through in a weekend at the peak of his addiction, but I bet it was over 100.

The magic number I heard from people I know who were Heroin addicts is "$100 a day heroin habit." Which was usually enough to stave off withdrawal and get high when they wanted to. Not sure how Artie economics works, but probably not any cheaper than that.

Artie obviously earned a high enough income to not have to resort to mugging little old ladies to feed his habit, but when you factor in all the other poo poo he blew his money on, I can see him having to make some major lifestyle changes soon. Especially since he seems to be trying to stay off the road (a smart move on his part).

He at least apparently managed to avoid any major IRS issues, which is a miracle.

How does the cost of cocaine compare to that? Assuming it's celebrity grade quality.

Heroin is way cheaper

You'll probably pay anywhere from $80 to $100 for a gram of coke (even for the lovely stuff, which it usually is)

I've lost count of how many times Artie has been arrested, but a source claimed at one arrest in 2017 he had 81 baggies of heroin in his car, so much that he could have been charged with dealing. He was also driving a Range Rover which isn't cheap. Of course he got a slap on the wrist because he's a semi-famous white dude.

That's why it's so glaringly hypocritical when Artie pretends like he cares how Howard or anyone else treats people. Artie is a lying creepy scumbag junkie who takes advantage of everyone and verbally/emotionally abuses women but he cares who Howard hires to run the office? Even when Artie did that interview with Opie in 2014 he hadn't worked on the show for five years. Move on, man.

Let's not forget that Artie likely spend twice or three times as much on hookers as he did drugs. His medical bills have to be pretty bad too.

Didn't Artie tell some obviously fake story about a cop who pulled him over, found drugs and then robbed another dealer and gave his poo poo to Artie or some other ludicrous nonsense?

Also, heroin dealers aren't well know for being good , fair business people. If you've got a millionaire junky on the hook who will spend 100 dollars for 20 dollars worth of heroin, they'll charge 100. God knows how many people were in between Artie and the heroin. He could have 3 people all skimming off him at anytime.

Some guy named Vinny Beedle was on the cumtown podcast awhile back, and said he used to charge up and coming comics to open for Artie, and that he kept the money and paid Artie in heroin.

I assume he was paying a premium for anonymity. Not that drug use is rare in the comic world, but he was trying to live a double life with H100 News, TMZ, and his fanbase stalking him.

I find it interesting that Artie never liked weed but was really into everything else. It seemed like the thing he liked most about heroin was putting on Neil Young records or watching sports and just zoning out alone. I'll admit I have never tried heroin and I'm sure it's 100x more euphoric than good weed, but zoning out on the couch is pretty much what I use weed for.

Using heroin sounds like it would be the most insanely awesome experience that anyone could ever have, which is why I'm absolutely terrified of it & all opiates in general. I zoned out on weed toast & watched a Family Guy marathon this past Friday, and that's good enough for me.

That said, if I were like 80 years old and/or 100% sure that I was going to die within the year, I would definitely do heroin/oxy/whatever because gently caress it, you know?

Agreed. My fiance had a tooth extraction followed by "dry socket" which is basically an exposed tooth nerve last year. The pain was so severe that we had to go to the ER twice for morphine injections, and in between that she was on every insanely powerful painkiller you could get. Seeing her zonked out on that poo poo didn't look fun, it actually looked kind of terrifying. When she was feeling "good" she was basically comatose.

I've never gotten any euphoria, or any experience approaching enjoyable, on opiates. I've been on morphine and various prescriptions after surgery or other issues and all it did was make me woozy and want to lie down. It didn't even do much for the pain, so I'm kind of screwed when I have health problems and wind up stuck with OTC pills like ibuprofen. My mother has the same physiology where opiates have little effect so I guess it runs in the family.

I tried to give it a ten-minute chance. The first time I looked at the timer was 2 1/2 minutes in. The second was about 5 1/2 minutes in. The third was like 50 seconds after that and I honestly thought it had been at least a couple of minutes. drat.

Also, Artie just sounds so wrong.

I'm almost 7 years sober now from alcohol. I used to drink almost a entire fifth of whiskey every night until I blacked out. I'd be on my couch listening to music or watching TV, and it felt like bliss. I would totally check out from the world. When Artie would describe heroin it sounded like a similar experience.

Now I'll smoke weed occasionally, but I don't get much from it. It's like it slows me down and makes me a little relaxed, but I don't get any euphoria from it.

Everyone has different body chemistry. I used to love smoking weed, but now it often just makes me really uncomfortable and gives paranoia so bad, that one time I thought I experiencing schizophrenia. It was probably just my roommate watching Sopranos in the other room, but at the time I couldn't rationalize it and ran out of the house and drove into night in search of safety. Fortunately I was just fine and never had an experience that bad again, but I did eventually slow down my habit.

Shuli recently did a comedy "show" in a literal parking lot in Tampa. One of the posters from the Stern subreddit showed up to do a trip report and take pictures. He was perfectly nice about it, didn't just yell gently caress SHULI over and over again. Maybe all of ten people showed up. So of course, on Shuli's next podcast he poo poo talks the guy and calls him a "fat loser who can't get laid."

I wouldn't go see Shuli if he was doing a show in my kitchen, so he was probably setting himself up for failure here. I thought he had given up comedy and moved out of NYC to get a regular job?

He's apparently still paying his dues. His wife must earn a good living because I've seen screenshots of ticket sales for some of his indoor shows and it's 20 people max. No way he's living just off a cut of that.

I just found it funny that he alienated the one guy who actually showed up and was like "I've always supported Shuli!"
