Artie is out again
It’s becoming a regular thing and every one on the show has their concerns about it. Artie called in and told Jason this morning he wouldn’t be coming in.
Poor George. He thinks it may be because of him and the whole PSA with the Human Rights Campaign. Gary said 3 out of the 4 first day appearances by George Takei is met with Artie Lange not being here. George explained how there has been a difficult communication between the Lange camp and the HRC concerning the script for the PSA. George also brought up that much like the Crumbs cupcake money might, the HRC might not take Artie’s tainted money if he loses his bet with the F word.
Robin said she had an issue with Artie this weekend when they had plans to go to the Rolling Stones show and he called up on the day and said he had a family function.
Howard who usually gives Artie the benefit of the doubt expressed his concern as well thinking something is going on. I’m not sure he was thinking drugs but definitely that something could be wrong.
Sit Down
Howard said he hasn’t sit down and talked to Artie about it yet. He said he doesn’t like to lay down the law with people he works with. He said it’s only a 4 day work week and should be here.

Further the downward spiral.

And he is taking his poor Liver and Heart with him.

he’s doping again. look at that interview, particularly the pre-part

What does he care anyway he’s already said he could retire. If Howard rides him and or sirius cans him. I would bet he could careless. As far as he’s concerned he’s “had a good run” and he’s already a cry baby poor me fuck.
If he wants to leave go already. Don’t piss on the best thing that has even happend to him in his entire life. The sad fact of all of this is if he blows this gig now it doesn’t matter. What a dick…He really needs a punch in the face. He’s been coddled way to long. How people like this slide through life and get rewarded I’ll never understand.

its called a loser mentality.

He really has pissed on it for too long. You could tell Howard was getting aggravated too. First time or two, it was Artie being Artie, and that’s how he is, that’s his part of the show etc etc. Now he’s blatantly disrespecting the show and everyone on it, and their contributions to it. Artie makes it about Artie. Selfish.

And I bet the HRC doesn’t take his money. I’m pretty pissed at Artie right now.
He didn’t go to the Stones concert with Robin and Jim(pretty sure Robin said her and Jim, I could be wrong) because he would have felt like the 3rd wheel. He’s too depressed to go anywhere with a couple. WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Welcome to the real world Artie.
Let’s just hope he isn’t at home overdosing.

could Artie throw in the towel already?
he fucking skips days when he only has a 4 day work-week. he sleeps through the show half of the time, and he’s too busy piling shit into his mouth the talk the other half.
i think its hilarious all of the jerkoffs in the audience love this guy as much as they do when he spits in their faces every chance he gets.
if you can’t show the show enough respect to fucking show up on 4 days a week on some kind of a consistent basis, quit and go eat yourself to death.
fuckyoufatartie

Yeah he asked Jason to come by his place and pick something up, Gary said I guess that he figured that was his call in. As far as the Stones show “I can’t go because of a family function” may have been the most pathetic exscuse ever.
March 31st, 2008 at 11:31 am
Howards Arties punk bitch. And if he doesn’t like it fuck him.
March 31st, 2008 at 11:32 am
Wait, fuck who? lol
March 31st, 2008 at 11:41 am
As of today i’m instituting a four day 10 hour work week and taking Monday off whenever I feel like it.
March 31st, 2008 at 12:03 pm
I have 100 on now, did Howard have Jason in the studio to say like, what was the scene at Artie’s when you went there. Did you enter into a smoke filled room, Artie nearly passed out, with some random strung out chic there haha.
Does anyone know if Jason was on the wrap up show talking about it?
March 31st, 2008 at 12:08 pm
If he’s out again tomorrow, Howard should call him and say Don’t bother bro lol
March 31st, 2008 at 12:21 pm
Fat fucking pig loser. Die already! The rest of us work for a living you pig. I used to like this gavone too.
March 31st, 2008 at 12:27 pm

March 31st, 2008 at 1:01 pm
Missing in action? LMAO so you call sleeping all day with the shades drawn action? How about missing integrity, missing appreciation, or missing a sense of reality.
March 31st, 2008 at 1:03 pm

This is what addicts do:sabotage their lives.He got himself into damned if you do/don’t because if he quits or gets shit canned he’ll overdose or if Howie lets it slide then its ok to to continue using risking an OD
March 31st, 2008 at 1:11 pm
And the fuckin well will dry up too…. no more plugs, everyone will think he’s an asshole anyway and won’t go see him. How many times can we hear the same act.
March 31st, 2008 at 6:42 pm
Allison, you said it honey. I ain’t gonna wait around for someone to fuck me over.Love to see him turn it around-even a little-but there’s a few funny guys that could fill that seat AND stay awake.
March 31st, 2008 at 7:27 pm
There’s guys that would jumo over each other for the chance Artie has.
