#HowardStern #SternShow #ArtieLange
After the whole Artie vs The Hack Pack Saga. Artie talked about how the show and the desire for airtime can turn people into their worst versions of themselves and basically predicted what an asshole Jason Kaplin would turn into. Sal accuses Howard for enabling Artie to fight with staff and over his weight and Drug isses.

Dude Artie lying at the beginning with that escalator story was so ridiculous. Clearly no one believed him but just played along.

[@joeymims5852]

I thought I had heard or watched every Artie episode, but this was new to me. This was seriously upsetting to listen to. He obviously had just shot up, or sniffed his H since he claims he never shot, which i find hard to believe. But either way, thats clearly what his " losing time, and feeling out of it on the escalator was all about. He had just gotten high, and i found it really hard to listen to everyone joking about it. Either a room full of morons, or a room full of people thinking hes making us money lets laugh and pretend hes not high as a kite. Howard couldnt have been that stupid!!! Really sad imo, and as a former H addict it hits home!

[@DABA2024]

There's a reason Howard edited Artie out of all the classic clips and pretends like he never existed: he feels guilty and knows he used this guy.

[@TheWeightsOver]

​@@DABA2024exactly. It pisses me off there's nothing Artie related ever on the stupid app. Especially because Artie made the show SO much better than it ever was or will be. All because he knows he enabled Artie for profit.

[@TheDreamer1980]

​@@joeymims5852he, wasn't a shooter far as I know, and knowing artie I question just how much heroin he actually did while around the time of the stern show anyway , I think he snorted it occasionally at the most.... Did pills and coke more than heroin

[@joeymims5852]

@@TheDreamer1980 I know he says he never shot it, Im just saying as a former addict, I was scared of needles as most people are. Its very easy to say, and have people believe just because it takes it to another level of humility if you admit to shooting it. But as every H addict knows eventually sniffing it isnt enough and eventually you shoot. So I find him hard to believe that he didnt get to shooting, but who knows. But youre thoughts on how long he was on H, or opiates I believe is way off. You can pretty much clearly know if hes on coke or H by his weight. All his funniest imo years were Heroin. When he was gettingg close to 300 pounds and falling askleep at work. Those were heroin years. Tow3ards the end, and I only think it was the last year he was on the show, is when i believe he got back into. He became unfunny, lost a ton of weight, and got mean a lot of the time, and wouldnt shut up alot of time as well. When he said he was losing all the weight by jet skiing LOL.

Eh that’s one critique of Howard I disagree with. Enabling would mean assisting the addict with their habit. By giving them money or drugs or a place to stay while they’re using etc. Nobody forced Artie to use drugs and then tell the tales on the air. Nobody forced him to be open about his struggles. Sure maybe it could have been insisted since Howard loved talking about personal problems on air but overall nobody enabled him or encouraged him to do anything but get help and get better.

It's so dumb too because even they know they're lying and trying to cover up for him just to keep on Artie's good side and cover for the fact Howard is letting a drug addict continue to use on his how. Just shameful stuff.

[@NothingToPointOut24]

You have to care about a person to enable them. And in hindsight, none of em ever truly cared about Artie IMO. They just all knew he was great material for the show. What they are doing here is towing the "company" line with him. Artie didnt care if some backroom nobody like Jason or Sal brought up his addiction. He would've cared if any of the top guys did though which is why the Gary fights were always the most real. Once Gary started going into Artie's addictions, things turned real sour with their relationship. But Artie would've either fell in a much bigger depression or left the show altogether if it was someone whose opinion he cared about. And if you get rid of Artie at the height of his addiction, the show loses as many viewers in 2007 or 2008 as they did when he finally left at the end of 09. That would've looked a lot worse for Stern a year or two into his Sirius run

As a former addict, I can almost guarantee you he had just shot up, or snorted, since he "claims" he never shot it. He was feeling the rush on the escalator which was why he almost passed out, no other option or story!

They should have given him a random drug test, and if/when he failed,force him to go to the company paid for rehab.

[@artfuldodger0870]

this is good shit

[@chrisfox2211]

Sal’s an idiot, but he was 💯 right this time

[@SEMINOLEsq.]

Anybody know the date of this?

[@fringestream990]

Artie says Barry Bonds hit 740 home run, that was like may 11 2007

53:16 Sal accidentally spoke the truth about the boss.. tried to walk it back but he was too correct to do so

[@chrismcdevitt7814]

My mother called me crying about what was said on the wrap up show. Then go to rehab and get off drugs.

[@4D4plus4is4D8]

Howard always said "Artie, you don't have to lie to me." But I wonder how they'd have reacted if Artie came into the studio and said "I'm off the wagon and I just snorted some heroin so I could get through the morning."

[@GeoffreyBronson]

That's ridiculous, upper management would have fired him.

[@OHGEEH]

Gary was one of the biggest snakes when it came to Artie in my opinion. Idk why anyone thinks he was a good friend in any way. He would totally pile on knowing the dude was a struggling junkie.

[@jeffreygerard8953]

Artie took some below the belt shots at Gary and nobody except you blames Gary for sticking it to Artie any time he could.

People who take you to task for your addictions are better friends than those who do not.

Gary and Howard were in full out denial..but even if they gave Artie a year off from the show for rehab, Artie would’ve never changed. He would’ve just left the show and went back in the road. Nothing would’ve changed. Artie didn’t finally get clean over a decade after this clip.

[@ralphgoodwin7768]

This got cut off way too fast. It sounded like there was more to come

[@brianl490]

Narrator: He was, IN FACT, on drugs

[@AndyVegasX]

What year was this?

[@1995abv]

Nodding out 😂😂😂😂

[@WillyTheComposerOfficial]

Just like Jason, I’m caught in Artie’s WEB OF LIES

[@lord_straxus]

Gary makes the WUS unlistenable. He can't STFU for more than 5 seconds.

[@bastardjokemen8518]

“W-what do you do for a living, sir?”

[@cameronvandegrift]

So f-ing annoying

[@devadasn]

I hate when he’s trying to make a point his follow up is ALWAYS “no seriously!”

[@patrickl4669]

His constant mothering of Jason is so cringey

[@jasonlysne5725]

If you really want to torture yourself, listen to Gary's audiobook

[@DanWilan]

2:50 Artie such a hypocrite complainin about Richard's sanitation issues and was callin for human resources and stuff and at the same time he does this.. you could surely see he was jealous of Richard's comedy

[@josephgillespie7298]

Peak show…just listening to him eat is the greatest.

[@braxterfittings3976]

Didn’t he eventually say in one of his books he went to the lobby to cop?

[@canag0d]

That first story of Artie being late during a break and it’s because he was light headed and almost passed out? That is pure BS. When Artie (like most people) tell the truth they are a lot more to the point. When you’re lying you add in so many little extra details that really aren’t relevant to the story. Also… The reason why Artie had to go get his own lunch is because he can smoke on the way.

[@TDOLLA]

holy shit… as a former heroin addict let me tell you there is an amount you can do just to maintain and seem normal but if you do a bit too much you end up like Artie here coming back spinning some bullshit story about not feeling good or feeling out of it because you accidentally got too loaded.

[@BrownEyez411]

DAMN YOU TO HELLLL ARTIE!!!! hi Fred

[@manifestgtr]

Meanwhile, they were all right…and it was probably worse than they thought. I do understand where Artie’s coming from, though. Having unqualified colleagues discussing your substance abuse problem in a serious, public way has gotta be brutal, both personally and professionally.

[@josephguzman2113]

Was Howard enabling Artie? Vote below ⬇️
