artie wants a fight

what happened today jeff

long story: http://www.marksfriggin.com/news.htm#thu

short story: howard wanted to talk about the artie / sal & richard drama but sal & richard refused to come in the studio. later in the show, artie got high off subutex. towards the end of the show, sal & richard finally came in and acted like morons. artie began berating them and threatening to beat sal up. he got really mad at sal and started throwing things (CDs?) at sal, so sal and richard left. artie was really strange and started talking about how much his life sucks and he's not right for the show and howard should fire him. eventually, sal came in an apologized and howard tried to end it, but it lingered. howard told everyone that they weren't allowed to talk about it, especially on the wrap up show.

don rickles

'i dont know what youre talking about, these cars are fully loaded!' 'fully loaded with dead hookers!'

great movie

NOTE TO SELF: LEARN TO FIGHT

"You've got a personality like a dead moth. Why don't you get yourself a horse and move to the mountains and don't bother anybody."

Dirty Work is the best comedy most hated by critics. I don't think I've seen a review that's higher than 1 star for this thing, yet every 2 minutes my ribs are surely tickled!

for some reason i never put it together that that was artie till just now. dirty work was one of those movies that was SO hyped by my friends that i ended up hating it when i finally saw it, but its pretty classic in retrospect.

Christ almighty:

Artie Lange walks off the Howard Stern Show

By Adam Abramson

Howard Stern Show fixture Artie Lange walked out of the studio after an argument and subsequent outburst at his personal assistant on the air.

Lange, who became a part of the show's daily routine in October of 2001, was spotted disputing with his assistant in the hallways off the air. When it was brought up to Stern, he asked the assistant Teddy to come into the studio and discuss the situation on the air.

Lange began to express his disdain for his assistant of nearly two years because of recent money issues. Teddy retorted by implying there's more to the job than meets the eye.

The two are slated to travel to Amsterdam this evening and the squabble began over setting up Lange's travel accommodations. However, the in-studio dispute quickly escalated into a discussion about how much Lange finances Teddy, who is affectionately called "Teddy Microphone" around the studio.

As the argument continued, Lange became enraged and physically lashed out at Teddy, but the physical confrontation was apparently defused by other members in the studio.

When Lange returned, he said Teddy would be "dead" had he reached him and he would be in jail.

Stern then expressed his feelings on the situation, saying he cannot condone Lange's actions. The comedian, who has had a similar outburst on the air in the past, said he cannot guarantee he can refrain from acting out in the future. Upon hearing that, Stern said he cannot have Lange around with the potential of such actions looming.

Artie then offered his resignation; Stern accepted, but told Lange to leave and cool off. Just before Lange left he told Stern: "I'm not a good person ... I gotta leave ... I love you"

Teddy returned to the studio several minutes later and said there was overreacting from everyone, but did not downplay the seriousness of the situation.

Show producer Gary Dell'Abate came in to analyze the situation, but he and Stern admitted they "did not know what to make of it all."

Stern does not host a live show on Fridays and the crew is on vacation next week.

Yeah, wtf no reply. Lame.

damn. hope he chills out.

*replay

this probably means all subsequent replays will be edited which is FUCKED.

Maybe not. They didn't do it with Artie v. Sal, although that was admitted much more deserved / funnier.
