howard stern is totally irrelavent.
it is interesting when wack-a-doos blow up on air though.
in a few years he’ll be on the home shopping network shlepping gold plated old time microphones.

[...] am not going to pretend for a second that I knew this would be the case after Artie’s on air resignation last week but, it did seem likely that he would be back. What people tend to forget is that [...]

Howard clearly pushed Artie’s buttons by taking up for Teddy. Howard never should of got in the middle, much less take Teddy’s side. Everyone can say what they went about Artie’s problems, but the be all end all is he’s great for the show and it’s amazing he hasn’t tried to beat someone elses ass as much as he gets f’d with. Howard certainly wasn’t his BRO there!!

This is exactly what Artie Lange has wanted. He clearly wanted to rid himself of the show. His actions point to this fact every day. If you really value and respect your job, do you sleep there? Do you cram 10,000 calories down your throat and crash in a sugar/fat meltdown leaving you worthless? Artie has been looking for an out for a long time. I think it may have been a little under a year ago after the “Bro” fight with Howard, where Artie was looking into leaving the show “for himself”, to get better. He said he was going to travel to Italy or something proposterous like that. He is clearly a fragile human being who needs to admit that he has a problem. He always says that he knows how messed up he is, but he hasn’t truly admitted his problem because he refuses to do anything about it. His problem may seem to big to him. After all, it does encompass a myriad of things. Alcohol, addiction, laziness, overeating, sex with hookers etc. I like the guy, but c’mon dude….Get real….you have such a good life there if you want it. Stop feeling sorry for yourself and take back your life.

I’ve been listening for about eight years. The past year or so, it’s gotten more and more painful to listen to Artie. Not simply because of the weight gain, wheezing, sleeping, drugs, alcohol, hookers, etc. — but because he’s just not funny anymore. And Artie doesn’t see that. He’s always been the “lovable screwup” but it’s gone too far. He keeps trotting out the same old stories, and if I have to hear him say one more time “I used to be an athlete, you know…” I will turn off the radio. It’s embarrassing and transparent and awkward.

I have really enjoyed listening to Artie on the show. I won’t say I love him, because I don’t know him, but I did start listening to Howard when he joined, and I can’t imagine what the show would be like without him and wish I didn’t have to. When he’s in good form, he’s the best. I think he’d be a great guy to sit in a bar with and have a laugh, but he is seriously damaged, and I don’t find it funny anymore. I have gotten so sick of hearing about his weight and his failed relationships and his problems, which all appear to be self-inflicted. He has all the resources in the world to be a better person, mentally and physically, job security, money, family, friends, yet he constantly rejects every opportunity to get better. People, fans and coworkers, need to say enough, including Howard. At this point, he’s not a good person, and no one should have to suffer his abuse. He’s just like any other abuser: he hurts the people who care about him, then feels guilty about it and puts himself down, then everyone feels bad for him and tries to make him feel better, and then he goes ahead and hurts them again. He’s so obviously on drugs: the sweating, calling in sick, the hair-trigger anger, and the people on the show refuse to acknowledge it. Having been with a substance abuser in the past, it is actually painful to listen to Artie’s downward spiral and his affect on all the people who continue to accept his abuse and make excuses for his inexcusable behavior. I felt so terrible when Teddy said Artie didn’t mean it and that it was his fault for bringing up a subject that would set Artie off. I know how hard it is to say, I can’t help you anymore and I need to take care of myself first, but that’s the only power you have left over the situation. As much as Gary and all the rest claim they’re not enablers and there’s nothing they can do, they are enablers, and there is something they can do: kick Artie off the show. I wish that wasn’t the answer, but it’s the only one available if Artie continues to refuse the help he so obviously needs.

I love Artie but he been corrupted by money and fame. He’s no longer the guy that worked on the docks. He doesn’t respect the show anymore just as he stated in an argument with Sal on “The Wrap-Up Show”. Sal said to Artie that if he were to be introduced on Letterman it would be Sal Governale from the Howard Stern show. Artie quickly responded with “Well, that’s not me!” I don’t think RESCUE ME will take care off him the the Stern show does. Artie get help! Please!

I just hope Artie doesn’t OD in Amststerdamn. I feel a sort of comroderie with Artie having my own struggle with drugs. What he did on the show was qualifying just how much he wants to run away and be left without rsponsibilities so he can get messed up on drugs yet again. I fear that he is following Jackie’s path to show-biz hell if he leaves the show. Good Luck Art…hope you come back to the show.
