I love how Benjy tries and how everyone tries to stop him. He's a good fit on the show, he bounces between annoying and funny, and funny because he is annoying for me. I love when they try to talk to him and he just does his horrible thing and it never works out, but it is usually entertaining in short bursts.

I used to like Benjy, but then it turned into a thing where he would say something they didn't expect or didn't approve of, and they would just say "Benjy vortex" over and over again. Another good reason to stick Doug Goodstein in a trash can and send him up and down the elevator.

One of my favorite things about the Stern show is just despising a random staffer or hanger-on despite the fact that they probably get three minutes of airtime per year. I hate Ross Zapin personally.

I despise Benjy. Everything about him is schtick and some due in part to cover up embarrassing physical attributes that he can't come to terms with like being fat, bald and short. He really so desperately wants to be that subversive guy like Andy Kaufman but he'll never achieve it.

Those lifts are hilarious. They're like a good three to four inches tall, and he makes no attempt to color them in or anything.

I believe most are supposed to be black as they best blend in. 2-3 inches of sheer white would draw a lot of attention. For instance, if you look at his left foot(camera left) and don't focus directly in on the lift itself, the lift plays itself off as a shadow. In that shot it would almost look like he's leaning back on his heel, hence the shadow being created under the show when in reality they're hilarious lifts.

Holy poo poo, I had no idea he did that. How do they not rag on his rear end constantly?

I'd rather be a small and sad short man than a goober in Herman Munster boots trying to gain a pathetic 2 inches that even a child would notice the true source of in person.

I remember as a kid I would sign up for all sorts of stupid catalogs, one of them was an entire catalog about shoes with lifts in them for me. The whole idea was hilarious to me, so I saved up and ordered a pair (I'm 6 foot and was never short) and it was like wearing special ed shoes, they are stupid and awkward and look dumb.

He should just buy a pair of black boots and put lifts in those. He looks like he's the smuggest mentally retarded person out there.

Good for her. John treated her like a slave/maid, not a wife. The stories about how he used to sit on his rear end and pick up a cellphone to call her from inside the house to come bring him more beer is disgusting.

Maybe it's just me, but Artie is annoying lately on NWA. Nick has no ability to keep him in check the way Howard did, so he purposely derails the show all the time now.

The show is still good overall but it fell off a bit. The interviews have always been painful, though.

Aside from the theory that he's once again dancing with sweet Lady H, I'm sure he gets bored doing a sports show and is resentful about the constant stream of stupid notes from DirecTV and tries to derail the show as much as possible.

Given how terrible the interviews usually are, I like that Artie derails all the time, even when it is really awkward. The bitter defeat in Nick's voice when he tries to force the discussion to sports is my favorite part of the show. I just wish they were even more clear that the bosses are constantly ordering more sports less Artie.

Completely agree with this. Half my enjoyment of N&A is Artie being awkward and weird and spiteful of the bosses orders.

Yeah, I'm fine with Artie hijacking and/or derailing things. Nick tries to treat it like legitimate sports talk, and Artie needs to be there to remind him that it's not. The woman who called up the other day to talk about hockey and Artie shut it down mere seconds later was hilarious.

I think he said on air that he was 340 or 350. The rehab people encouraged him to get addicted to something that wasn't drugs.

At some of his worst points on the show he was around 300 on the scales. You can really see the difference, that's a lot of extra weight even for a fat guy.

Artie looks loving terrible. When he first joined the show he wasn't skinny, but he looked good and he has a very handsome face when he's not strung out or bloated.

Opiates usually have appetite suppressing side effects not to mention potential nausea issues for beginner or light users but eventually all of that passes for heavy users and they go back to being their normal selves with regards to food. It's not that it makes you gain weight per se, it's just if you were already a fat gently caress who ate a lot it isn't going to stop you in the long run(see: Chris Farley, Jim Belushi).

There was probably a period where Artie lost some weight over the first 3-4 months or so but we never really got to see that and once he got seriously addicted he just basically slept and ate all day and that puts pounds on for anyone.
