This sounds vaguely familiar to me, like something Gilbert would say. I'd love to hear it if someone can find it.

I'd say the weight gain was from booze but his face isn't bloated. He's definitely over eating.

How can you be that unhealthy and have diabetes? I have a step-sister with juvenile diabetes and she's constantly monitoring everything she eats and does. This fat load still chain smokes and eats like poo poo. I'm amazed he's not dead yet.

Jesus Christ, he's barely recognizable as human at this point. Like is he turning into a loving manatee. It's not like he was super gross when he was "normal" weight and just went 'ah gently caress it I look like a half-dried scab anyway might as well eat myself to death.' I just watched Elf again last night and he had a pretty cute face at one point. Or at least not something you'd see and start running in the opposite direction. Addiction (and being a self-indulgent whiny baby who never had to do anything for himself or be responsible for anything in his life) is a helluva thing.

The term "baby gorilla" is so apt for Artie, it goes beyond merely a funny joke - especially in the present.
He got a dream gig in radio, then grumbled here and there throughout Sirius about wanting a TV sitcom deal to make easy money with the least effort possible...as if it was such a challenge working four hours a day in a 16-hour work week. So, he does stand-up, mostly at casinos, and makes easy $100K paychecks and blows it all on opiates. He binges, tries to kill himself - which is no laughing matter - and basically has a nervous breakdown for nearly a year trying to get himself together.

I was actually really happy for Art for a while, because when he first appeared on Joe Matarese's podcast when he was released from the hospital, he sounded bright-eyed and bushy-tailed and just...happy. But then the drive to try and be the most sinful as possible by being a sloth-ridden gluttonous beast kicked in, he wrote his wah-wah-wah is me "Crash and Burn" book which revealed little if any truth (self-admitted near the end of it, btw, nice 'hook') before starting a horrible podcast where 80-90% of it is bringing in former Stern guests and staffers, yet, still wanting to talk poo poo about him like he gives a gently caress what his former staff thinks. And why would he? He's got "gently caress you" money for a reason.

So now here he is, disheveled and probably unwashed, slightly dazed and one step away from death's door looking and probably physically feeling like Grandma Caprio, a self-proclaimed loser who not only says it to be lovable and self-deprecating...he says it because in his heart of hearts it's the only honest thing about him.

Also I guarantee that if senior year of drug academy is heroin, which Artie is a proud graduate of, then his diploma is retroactively taking him held back to 11th grade cocaine classes. He knows if he gets on the horse again he truly will go for suicide attempt no3.

That's a saying in business, you know :rolleye:

She quite literally argues her job as a fulfiller of Jackie's junk orders is more stressful than Jackie's job as writer/comedian and Howard's job of radio host. It's amazing her ego let it go that far. Howard was absolutely right back then, if his ratings went in the dumpster then he followed, terrestrial radio was and still is absolutely cutthroat.

Been falling asleep for a month or so now with a Jackie playlist and Nancy features heavily. Howard busting her balls over being a trophy wife (like all the other wives) is great. It's also telling when you listen to that stuff that Alison rapidly fell into that category as well. She stopped working once Howard made it big and Howard often complained about how she would waste money on stupid things or was always asking him for renovations to the house and whatnot.

Originally yes but I even that got subcontracted out. By the end of it all I doubt Nancy did more than some marginal catalog updates.

Listening to the Jackie Spotlight it really was true what Jackie said in that when they started breaking her chops Jackie had to pile on too because if he resisted Howard would just ratchet up the intensity so Nancy had to listen to her husband make fun of her work and Jackie was forced to gang up on his wife to save her further humiliation. It's a testament to how brutal the show used to be.

None of the main crew get or keep their spouses without the show although obviously that's no longer exactly the case but Fred and Gary would be on the divorce train as well if they'd left the show around when Jackie did. Wasn't always talked about as much but Mary Booey didn't work either and did a lot of stereotypical housewife crap like hosting jewelry parties and whatnot.

I suppose if you look at it correctly it's why he beat up everyone but took it easy on Robin. He knew if he pushed and they pushed back (and they would lose) their lives would be destroyed without him so he could abuse them without fear of them really leaving whereas Robin gives no fucks and would do whatever she wanted. Robin would have lived the same life with or without the show, the only difference would be the quality. The rest of the crew live gifted lives with the show and would be worlds different without it.

Right, except Jackie was the only one insane enough to bail on the show. Fred and Gary knew what the smart play was.

A good example of this is the time when Howard was able to piss everyone off in one sentence. He trashed Artie, Fred and Gary, but when it came to Robin he decided not to say anything.

This was another classic bit. The whole idea was Gary's, and he went into the studio all smug with a list of 3 things he thought it'd be, and then Howard dropped the Gary cheats on his wife line and Gary went nuts.
