Artie lange checks into rehab

Often described as the Howard stern shows funny man, Artie Lange has reportedly checked himself into rehab. The news aired after canceling the Comedy Central Bob Saget roast, and canceling other appearances scheduled for later this week. One of the appearances was for bob Levey’s comedy club in Levittown PA this weekend.

Artie has suffered from heroin addiction in the past and never really dealt with it properly. During the shooting of Beer League, Artie stopped doing heroin cold turkey, and started taking subutex to deal with the addictive cravings. This got Artie off heroin, bit never went through any proper treatment to deal with the addiction.

Upon the return from his Afganistan USO show, he brought up the fact he had been talking to Dana hes ex-girlfriend, but that she wouldn’t think about getting back together with him until he properly dealt with the addiction.

Artie also mentioned another girl in his life lately. And along the same lines he mentioned that Gary had given him some good advice while in Afganistan.
I think Artie finally realized that if he wants a somewhat regular life he needs to treat the addiction before going forward.

Hopefully artie is able to complete the steps necessary to deal with his problem, and get his life in order.

And everyone knows its going to be superb radio when they get back from break.

The howard stern show – Game show

Some more great content on the Howard Stern Show this week. The game shows from the past. These shows bring back some memories, and some are new for me. Today though listening to the Fred Dial-A-Date show was great to listen to, except for the fact the audio was terrible. I’m really surprised ths segment wasn’t cleaned up before airing. They have done such an excellent job of getting this old material, putting it all together, and we have this great bit, but the audio is plain crap. One second your turning up the volume because you can’t hear what the caller is saying, then Howard comes on and and you have to turn the volume back down. Very annoying! I’m sure Richard and Sal could have done a better job cleaning up the audio on this one.

The History of Howard Stern

Well, its a repeat week

I really don’t like repeats, but I do think if anything is worthy of a repeat, it has to be the History Of Howard Stern. I think these specials are produced very well, and are very interesting to listen to. They really pulled a lot of material out of the closet and were able to contact an amazing amount of people to interview. I think thats one of the best parts. They were actually able to interview people that Howard referenced in the past, or were with him when it happened. Listening to the show from day to day, its hard to tell whats truth and whats fluff, but having some people actually back up the stories is great, and puts things into perspective. The music is so fitting also, it really makes the whole production fit together. So I guess I’m kinda glad they are doing this material again, because I missed a lot of it last time.

The Nerve of Bob Levy

Wow, the nerve of Bob Levy on the Miserable Men Show. On one of Howards shows he has the balls to say “Fuck Gary”, and then to not even give proper apology about it the next day. They give the guy so much. Like Howard was saying, free plugs, shows, roasts, and more, and he gets pissed off. Damn. I had to agree with Howard today, just like a kid that gets everything they want, and when they don’t get something they throw a fit. He could have at least given a decent apology. If it weren’t for Artie, I think they would have taken him and his plugs off for a week. Better watch your P’s and Q’s Bob! You know those plugs everyday bring in some CASH.
