Howard later called himself the most disturbed but said Artie was in the worst position.
- Artie said he is still going to the therapist. Although he said that since the Dr. is older that, he might not be relating to the guy, expressing some doubt in the sessions. Artie said that the problem is that once he doesn’t feel right about someone he begins to bullshit them.

- On Bubba’s show, Artie said that writing the book was a big step in having closure with his father. He also said that anyone who recommends that he still needs therapy, they are call pussies.

Too Fat To Fish Reviewed
Monday, November 17th, 2008The Houston Press posted a book review of Too Fat To Fish on its blog:
“A natural-born storyteller, Lange has entertained audiences with tales of his growing up in blue-collar New Jersey, stint as a longshoreman, the tragic story of his father, and — most frequently — his bouts with depression, substance abuse (booze, pills, coke, heroin), and, uh, a penchant for hookers.”
“Surprisingly, even though Stern listeners (the prime target audience for the book) are already familiar with many of these tales, Lange infuses enough additional details to make them interesting again. Prosewise, he does have a particular style for setting a scene. “
