The Hudson Reporter has published Part 1 of a two part profile on Artie Lange. The article covers his upcoming book, his family and introduction to Stern.

Artie talking about Too Fat to Fish, 

“It’s not an autobiography in the sense that it is not anything linear,” said Lange recently. “It’s going to have about 17 to 20 short stories that are real stories. It’s just about different things that happened to me at different times in my life, starting from the time that I was born, to the last chapter, which is going to be about the [recent] trip that I took to Afghanistan.”

On yesterday’s show Artie mentioned that he wanted to plan a bachelor party at his Jersey house for Howard. Howard wanted something mellow and poker.

Question

If you were Artie, what would you plan for the party?

“You know what to do”.

Hulk Hogan came on the show this morning giving the lowdown on everything in the Hulkamania universe. He plugged an upcoming Celebritiy Championship Wrestling show and his new energy granules. Artie asked if Hulk had any on him right now. I think Artie should starting taking those during the show to cut back on his show napping.

Its Wednesday!   ….. right.

Just a follow up -

I previously mentioned Chris for helping my company out with Internet. If anybody is looking for Data and Voice Services, I highly recommend One Communications, (http://www.onecommunications.com)  - Ask for Chris Slonieski.

Oh joy, we start the show off with Eric the no talent Midget.

Hey Artie fans!

Good news - I had mentioned previously that my new job had some internet problems - this was mainly due to too many people on one line. TO MY SURPRISE, an SGB reader and Howard Stern fan contacted me and turns out he was from my company’s internet provider. Within a couple days we had a technician down there installing another T1 line (which was already on order).

Today was my first day back in the office since it has been installed and it works great! So I should have no problem listening to the show at work - besides having to work and all.

Thank you to Chris S. for helping us out!! {awaiting confirmation on plugging his company’s  website}

SBG Brief:

» Someone call Mike Walker, Robin And Jim Florentine have broken up!

» Artie debates whether or not he should make fun of Sarah Silverman and Jimmy Kimmel’s breakup at the Bob Saget Roast.

» Orlando Jones spoke to Howard 100 News about sharing a room with Artie during the Mad TV days and recalled an incident where he woke up to the smell of shit  coming from Artie’s bed and then when housekeeping knocked on the door, Orlando jumped out the window to avoid that situation. This story is upcoming in Artie’s upcoming book.

HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE!

Thank god this has finally come to an end. It took so fucking long that I almost didn’t care how it ended as long as it did end! Whether you are a democrat or a republican you gotta thank the Republicans for coming through on this one

“Federal regulators formally approved the merger of the nation’s only two satellite radio operators Friday, ending a 16-month-long drama closely watched by Washington and Wall Street.

The Federal Communications Commission voted 3-2 to approve the buyout, with the tiebreaker coming Friday night from Republican commissioner Deborah Taylor Tate.”
