So much truth in your comment. Addicts and ex-addicts have lied so much their whole lives nothing they say is fully true. It's like when pro wrestlers tell "true stories".
@@Thomas-fk3cw It depends on the person man... Just like some addicts steal and rob when they run out of money and dope. It just depends on the person not everyone is like that. I don't steal stuff when I run out of money or my DOC and I don't lie anymore than the average person. I may even lie less because I just don't have time to try and remember the lies... I know id just forget and look stupid a week later anyway so there isn't much of a point unless its something that could get me in legal trouble or is rather embarrassing in which case its probably personal and nobodies business anyhow.
lmfaoo yea right bro. the guy is always fucked up. he always says he's clean and it's been the same bullshit for his whole career and life. he's a pig.
I feel the same way. I feel like hes a compulsive liar even though what he says sounds really honest but horrific and paints him in a bad light... I can't put my finger on it.
Having used before and been around many people who’ve been in recovery many have mental health problems as well as jitters after quitting its part of anxiety from not having the drugs. Often times ppl will assume you’re high when you’re not and vice versa I feel like arties pretty honest about his issues lol not to say he doesn’t lie but a lot of times the effects from drugs unfortunately last for years! I have adhd and no longer use anything but when I was I was very calm actually and so ppl assumed I was sober lol kind of confusing but yeah. It’s sad! I wish him the best.
Must be nice wearing rose colored glasses (happy). Comedians, historically, are broken tragic figures. Have you followed Mr. Lange's life? It's well documented.
Quite honestly, I think he looks alright here. He sounds motivated to stay clean, and I really hope he can stick with it. The man is a gift to the world of comedy, and he is truly great at what he does. Never pretentious, no ego, and always quick with a hard-hitting joke. Best of luck, Artie.
By the time you had posted this he had already relapsed, bad too apparently. Hasnt put out a podcast or had appearances in over a yr, rly hope he gets it together or is at least safe rn...
@@RandyNachoManSandwich Cocaine's a true hoe. We should be more informed before trying shxt, but cocaine is pretty self-explanatory. It's not a rich man drug just because of its price, but because of the relation between quality - high - price. You pay what? 15$ for ~30min of feeling good? That drug's purely designed to create addiction and fill the wallets of fuckers who don't dare to even step in the places where it's produced.
I bet you he still uses... people dont just stay clean ... he needs to be on either long term methadone or suboxone prescription ..there's no way to just stay clean these days as there's no purpose in life or social life withiut drugs and alcohol
@Alaska Music The fact that ya'll are even having this conversation is cracking me up. Yes the random comedian, cocaine addict is that one they choose to clone over... Y'know... Anyone else.
He's looked healthier on some of his early stern years for sure. He was jogging on the tredmill fast, and he was playing basketball one on one vs a pro female player, and pretty much would have beat her if they counted the 3 point shots as 3's. Artie is actually a great athlete, which many people would have ever guessed. He looked much much healthier here, as opposed to how he looked previously though. That mugshot when he got arrested was brutal, it looked like he was going to die that day, that's how bad he looked, so this is an incredible transformation. I hope he's still clean these days, but there's very little public information about him anymore.
That's good to hear. I've been there and back with drugs; almost 15 years ago now. Ironically, I used to listen to Artie on the radio (Howard Stern) in high school while getting high and never knew he was too. His stories were hilarious though! Obviously I was sad to hear he got so messed up. I'm glad he's still clean.
@☬⚔☥☠✞♋✞☠☥⚔☬ Good work! I had the same problem but I did them separately. After 14yrs, sometimes I still wake up from dreams about mountains of drugs, but after a while the cravings get _so much easier_ to deal with. Life is just better without all the hell and bullshit that you put up with just to chase a mediocre high. It sounds cliché I know, but it's true. Keep doing what you're doing. 👍🏻
Don't feel sorry for Artie. He doesn't want that from us. He wants everyone to be happy. Find something to be happy about for Artie. Be happy for his path to sobriety. I know it's hard, I LOVE Artie.
The man had to literally SNORT GLASS to say "Okay, I've had enough". Artie had so much emotional pain, and I still believe the Stern Show enabled the living hell out of him. What's worse is how he was treated by the Stern Show afterwards, they didn't even want to acknowledge him anymore.
Idk about funnier. I think that's nonsense. But I'm glad hes sober. Honestly the most I've ever laughed at arty was on Howard stern when he was falling asleep during the show lmao

6:42 - yeah, that cloudy, drowsy type dumb feeling goes away once you built even a small tolerance. Its the old mountain and valley analogy; when you start, you are at base level, no ups or downs. You take opiates, you go up right away, for a while. After tolerance builds, it sinks you into the valley, where you need a certain amount of the opiate just to get up to base level, but base level is not that great to someone with tolerance, because you wanna climb up high on the mountain, not sit down at boring old base level. So you rise up from the shitty withdrawl valley, up to base level where you are fine, then you climb on up the mountain, and repeat this every fucking day until you either OD, decide its time to stop, or blow your head off. This is a very vague concept to anyone who has not taken opiates, so this important message doesn't resonate as much as it should, then before you know it, they are popping a pill a friend gave them, and another one bites the dust.
Very good way to describe opiate addiction and the cycle. Ive been clean from heroin and all opiates for 8 years. Hearing stories like Artie's reminds me everyday why I prefer sobriety
The worst thing for me is that I’m not an addict, but I require them for pain relief for metastatic cancer. It’s in so many bones-most of my spine, my pelvis, hips, femurs, ribs, and humeruses...I hate needing them for it, but they don’t really take the pain away, just make it tolerable. And I have allergic reactions to it every other day or so, so I can’t win on this 🤨
Being addicted to opiates is the worst thing that can happen to someone’s life. You become a slave to the drug. You loose sense of life. People that love you, you disconnect from them. When you have the drug and know you won’t be sick you act normal. You can hide it and no one will know you use. But being alone with a problem like that isn’t healthy. I’m going on 9-10!years on opiates. I never thought I would fall to this. I can’t stop. I seek help but can stop. Anyone reading this don’t ever get hooked on opiates. I will destroy your life. It will turn you into the person you hate the most. You won’t recognize yourself. I have a job a wife, a loving family. I’m not rich but not poor. But living with this disease and not letting anyone know, is a slow death. Sad life. If you were to see me you would never think I’m a user. I hide it so well. But I’m so lonely. I really wish I could wake up one day and not be a slave to this lifestyle.
If Artie could find a way to ride the endless positive vibes people send his way, he’d be golden. He has enough good karma out there that he’s actually earned that love. He deserves a good run.
I feel you Arty....me and buddy about ruined our lives forever because of opiates. We were breaking into pharmacies at night...taking 60 - 70 pills a day...not a penny to our names. Luckily we were caught and dodged prison but did 10 years of probation. Becoming a felon saved my life as weird as it sounds.
Hardcore breaking into pharmacies. The risk is high but you could make some money or if you're an addict be happy as hell for a little bit. Then your tolerance would skyrocket. Especially if you got unlimited methadone or fentanyl.
Artie has energy I’ve never seen from him before, his sense of humor seems much more joyful now than being dark self-hatred based hope he sticks with his new life, wish him the best
@@VROOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM you fuckin moron he's on drug court parole. Meaning if he tests dirty he goes to jail. If you ever did drugs or seen him before you wouldn't say something so dumb
Artie! My man you made me laugh for years. You brought me out of lot of dark times. No mater how bad shit got I would turn on Stern and you made me forget about all that. Glad to see you healthy. Keep up the clean time
Love Artie. You can tell he’s doing better for sure and it makes me happy, but if you watch some of his hand movements he has very clear neurological damage from his years of using. Sad to see, but it makes me happy he’s a lot better nonetheless
I'm glad to see he's doing well now and I hope he has a long full life. I just hope he doesn't follow the same path my friend did, RIP. He was a coke addict for years (got clean, fell off the wagon, got clean, fell of the wagon - over and over). He finally got clean and really seemed to turn his life around for good - even did an "addict ministry" at the local jails. But, sadly the damage to his body was already done from years of addiction and he passed away at 39 while he was completely clean (heart issue). That's something I think addicts don't consider. Even if you get clean sometimes the damage you've done over the years still gets you. Just steer clear of that stuff!!!
Man I haven't heard Artie this clear since before he started the Stern show. I hope he stays clean. I was truly expecting to hear that he overdosed and died this past year. Stay strong Artie.
@@mythicalashley9542 because speaking with your hands is a mannerism that many many people have, it’s so funny hearing people hearing dilettante’s talk about drug users 🤦♂️😆
I was addicted to oxy for a time, at the end I was taking 3 40mg oxy’s (snorted) as a regular dose, which I needed at least twice a day to maintain, 3 doses a day were more norm so if I couldn’t get oxy and perc’s were all that was available I would have to take 24 to equal the same dose, each one contained 350mg acetaminophen and 5mg oxy, 48-72 tabs would have been the daily dose. The body builds tolerance to these drugs leading to nothing good, oxy was only supposed to be given to terminal patients and those in severe pain, not handed out like aspirin.
The center of the most recognisable part of a human. Ik I'm explaining something that needs no explanation, but I'm this far so I'm just posting it anyway
During this clip, I kept wondering if Artie was having any psychological trigger cravings from discussing his drug use. I know first hand that addicts can can have trigger cravings from discussing drugs and how they used them. I hope that his willpower to not use will get stronger over time.
@@pumaqueen6 Actually, we don't get into details. The reason we don't is to not cause someone to be triggered. We all have different things that can cause us to use again. This could be a specific detail, smells, sounds, places or stress. Not everyone has the same triggers. Someone going into a detailed drug story can cause someone else to have what is called "phantom tastes" and/or "phantom smells" which is when someone can hear, see or smell something that causes their brain to remember what a substance tasted like or to remember what they physically felt after using. Those phantom tastes and smells decrease over time with some people. It takes a hell of a lot of strength to get up everyday and go about life and facing people, places and things that will trigger them, us. But that's what has to happen to overcome addiction. Hope this explains some things🙂
I LOVE YOU ARTIEEEEEE!!! Stay sober. Stay home or wherever you are and enjoy your money my man. You have worked hard enough already. Enjoy the rest of your life sober and healthy without the pressure of the show business career.
I hope he's able to do that. I have a feeling he's on suboxone or methadone. It would be very very difficult for him not to have any kind of opiates. He was using daily since he was a teen, and very very high amounts once he got rich, and did that until his 50's. It's very very hard to just stop all medications, and all use at that point, and stay that way indefinitely. He did amazing though regardless, and looks great in this interview, so I hope he is off everything. Not saying there's anything wrong with suboxone or methadone, especially if they're not affecting your life negatively at all, so it's still pretty much clean, but you're still on something though. Suboxone and methadone are incredibly powerful opiates, which is necessary if you'r trying to come off things like heroin and fentanyl.
Artie looks great and full of life and seems happier and hes funnier too. Happy for him. And before you get confused, Joe Used Legion of skanks' place in NY while he was there for the fights
i was in the hospital twice where i could have serious pain dope pretty much when I wanted it. It was a real nice feeling for sure. But after a few days, when the pain was manageable without it, I stopped asking for it. Yes it was a nice high, but it also pretty much knocked me out. Didn't like sleeping 20 hours a day.
I’m convinced Artie is the toughest SOB on the planet. With all he’s been through would have easily killed a weaker human being. God loves you Artie!! Stay well my friend! You’re still here for a reason!
Honestly his nose looks a lot better now than what I've seen in pictures and no not the swollen one. It looks strange now but not as deformed like Arie grew into it.
I really hope and pray that Artie is clean and healthy. He has the ability to change so many lives with his story. We love you Art... Hope to hear from you soon
He doesn’t look much like he used to. I’m not sure how that is a bad thing at all. He looks and sounds awesome. Hope he just keeps following this path.
Artie's utter and complete honesty has always endeared me to him. Greatest storyteller ever. I think he looks fantastic now and I'm so happy to see him healthy and lucid. I love this guy.
405 ZXZ I think it’s just a guest set because the description of the podcast mentions it was recorded in an nyc studios. I imagine it was the best way to interview Artie at the time
I know someone that was working the ER in St. Louis when Artie came in for the “glass snorting”. Nobody in the ER knew who he was but word spread fast about “the guy who snorted crushed glass” rather quickly. She told me about it saying “he’s a comedian or something?” I instantly knew who it was with hearing his name because radio stations had been announcing his show cancellation.
The only thing that I recognize is his voice. He does not look like Artie.
💪
he looks like that guy who crashes whalers
It's crazy. I almost thought this was an impersonator or something.
Arti Lang is dead
I've been seeing all these videos with "Artie Lang" in the title. I figured they were just talking about him I had no clue that was him
"This is what 30 years of drug use looks like."
Artie, I hope you stay clean. Your nose aside, you actually look healthier. Stay well.
He is great has no problem answering any questions.
He's probley on methadone, you scratch your hands like that
It's a miracle that he is alive. He is a very likeable guy.
Was a likable guy
Like most drug addicts, everything Artie says sounds like half-truths.
So much truth in your comment. Addicts and ex-addicts have lied so much their whole lives nothing they say is fully true. It's like when pro wrestlers tell "true stories".

Never noticed before, he has hands like a woman.. he's such a mutant
@John Reb defensive
Artie looks like a heavy set Burt Reynolds in Boogie Nights.

DR_DINGLENUT get the fuck outta here. Fuckin insult to Burt.

Fat Jack Horner lol
He's turning into Kenny Rogers.
Lol gotta know when to fold em

Hi I am Kenny Rogers and this is Jackass. th-cam.com/video/VV6In1K8zKk/w-d-xo.html

@@CHOSEN5679 ... know when not to snort em🎶
Artie is my favorite, I'm so glad we still have him in this planet!! You rock Artie!!
Hoping Artie is doing well and you really never know what someones going through love and respect to you all
Doesn’t even sound like joes laugh
are you hiring?
I noticed this is the other clips too, maybe the different mics???
Central Intelligence Agency I have information regarding the disappearance of Joseph James Rogan
Joe “Clone” Rogan
Epstein killed himself.... we good?
With his noise like that, he kinda looks like Teddy Atlas
Fix your typo, homo sapiens
@@thetrueking6137 he's a good looking man ..... kind *¿\
Noise?
Fucking grammar nazis bro. Get over it
@@mr.b3168 "Tally Ho!"
If Artie could find a way to ride the endless positive vibes people send his way, he’d be golden. He has enough good karma out there that he’s actually earned that love. He deserves a good run.
Damn.I hope you stay clean man.
✌🏼
I feel you Arty....me and buddy about ruined our lives forever because of opiates. We were breaking into pharmacies at night...taking 60 - 70 pills a day...not a penny to our names. Luckily we were caught and dodged prison but did 10 years of probation. Becoming a felon saved my life as weird as it sounds.
Same. I kicked but my two closest friends died before they were able to get clean. So glad you made it out.
Hardcore breaking into pharmacies. The risk is high but you could make some money or if you're an addict be happy as hell for a little bit. Then your tolerance would skyrocket. Especially if you got unlimited methadone or fentanyl.
Proud of you bro
Hell no ten years of probation is crazy I could barely do my three.
Artie thinks his dope stories make him cool,want people to feel sorry for him,I think he's a famous functioning looser dope addict.
Artie has energy I’ve never seen from him before, his sense of humor seems much more joyful now than being dark self-hatred based
hope he sticks with his new life, wish him the best
Brain force plus++
@@VROOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM you fuckin moron he's on drug court parole. Meaning if he tests dirty he goes to jail. If you ever did drugs or seen him before you wouldn't say something so dumb
Were you a fan of him on the Stern show?he was the funniest ever...back then!
not slurring as much, and a fresh new haircut.
TheDonofthsht76 - “I do drug so moch” lol stfu
Artie! My man you made me laugh for years. You brought me out of lot of dark times. No mater how bad shit got I would turn on Stern and you made me forget about all that. Glad to see you healthy. Keep up the clean time
Love Artie. You can tell he’s doing better for sure and it makes me happy, but if you watch some of his hand movements he has very clear neurological damage from his years of using. Sad to see, but it makes me happy he’s a lot better nonetheless
What type of movements? Jerky?
Hardly? How so'/
Arty actually looks good and so much more healthy here.
Adderall
diseased up mind. lying left and right, mos def not living clean
@@MrFuckhed looking for that 💰
Cocaine
Definitely doesn’t look great
When Artie asks “you wanna hear stories ?” you cancel all plans, grab a six pack and listen.
A six pack of water these days
Most his stories are b.s.
they're all bullshit dude
Who cares if his stories are not always true ? He's a great story teller and he's funny as hell.
You moron...you can’t tell they’re all lies?!? SMH
You look great Artie. You have an army of fans. I love the rare times Stern replays include you, they were my favorite years.
Artie is such a sweet guy when he’s sober like this. I love seeing him like this man
It's so good to see Artie again, always loved his comedy and talks
Artie looks like a Vincent d'Onofrio movie character now...
Poo bear from Salton Sea
Omg he does! Lol
He looks like he’s wearing an Edgar Mask.
I'm glad to see he's doing well now and I hope he has a long full life. I just hope he doesn't follow the same path my friend did, RIP. He was a coke addict for years (got clean, fell off the wagon, got clean, fell of the wagon - over and over). He finally got clean and really seemed to turn his life around for good - even did an "addict ministry" at the local jails. But, sadly the damage to his body was already done from years of addiction and he passed away at 39 while he was completely clean (heart issue). That's something I think addicts don't consider. Even if you get clean sometimes the damage you've done over the years still gets you. Just steer clear of that stuff!!!
I love Artie so much! Wherever he is these days, I hope he's as clear, sober, and happy as he was during this interview.
He’s a loser
Man I haven't heard Artie this clear since before he started the Stern show. I hope he stays clean. I was truly expecting to hear that he overdosed and died this past year. Stay strong Artie.
I’m tripping this doesn’t look like Artie at all. However I am so glad he’s on the right track. Looking and sounding healthy. Keep it up dude!
You can hear it though
The fidgeting with the hands is definitely a sign of recovery. Hope Artie is doing well. Addiction is rough.
You’re so stupid.
@@ghytgb why is he stupid
Yes, people in recovery typically speak a mile a minute, twitch, and pick at their face. Totally normal.
@@mythicalashley9542 because speaking with your hands is a mannerism that many many people have, it’s so funny hearing people hearing dilettante’s talk about drug users 🤦♂️😆
I have always loved Artie. I am in recovery from an opiod addiction and I understand the pull.
Massive respect to him for getting clean. He's a good guy.
Absolutely!!
This is the most lucid I’ve seen Artie in... 20 years? I’ve missed this guy
never in a million years would i have thought that was artie. literally looks like a completely different person.
It was digitally remastered?
Poor Artie. He turned into Chris Farley’s character from Dirty Work.
you just broke my brain...i thank you
🤣🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏👏👏
Brilliant
Artie was in that movie too
God damn
I was a huge fan of the old Artie, but I love this one even more.
GaunletofDestruction hes always lies about everything.
I was addicted to oxy for a time, at the end I was taking 3 40mg oxy’s (snorted) as a regular dose, which I needed at least twice a day to maintain, 3 doses a day were more norm so if I couldn’t get oxy and perc’s were all that was available I would have to take 24 to equal the same dose, each one contained 350mg acetaminophen and 5mg oxy, 48-72 tabs would have been the daily dose. The body builds tolerance to these drugs leading to nothing good, oxy was only supposed to be given to terminal patients and those in severe pain, not handed out like aspirin.
This is so sad. I'm a huge fan of Artie. Live well brother.
It's crazy how just changing someone's nose can make someone look like a completely different person.
The center of the most recognisable part of a human. Ik I'm explaining something that needs no explanation, but I'm this far so I'm just posting it anyway
He lost some weight too
That's why nose surgeries are the most popular and common when it comes to cosmetic surgery.
My thoughts exactly
Makes me sort of want a nose job
It's crazy he literally looks like a different person. I didn't know it was him
That voice is unmistakable though
That can't be artie
he somehow looks healthier even with the depressed accordion nose
I love Artie! I hope he stays on the right path.
It's not just the nose, his cheeks are different. Idk man. Something isn't adding up.
I agree. His stories seem fake like he cant tell the truth about his addiction. All these stories are all marketing fluff.
a slow-moving trainwreck...
@@timgreenglass that was hit by another train and then ran into an eyeball of coke.
I was thinking the same , joe seems like he doesnt believe the glass story being the cause
"But I do it anyway...." THE most honest statement of an addict. Keep fighting Artie.
That's will power
During this clip, I kept wondering if Artie was having any psychological trigger cravings from discussing his drug use. I know first hand that addicts can can have trigger cravings from discussing drugs and how they used them. I hope that his willpower to not use will get stronger over time.
I guarantee just cause I did
He didn't get punched. He was doing drugs up his nose. He's in denial.
100%. Every single moment can be a struggle between choosing to use or not. It doesn't end unless a) lots of time or b) replace stimulus
If you go to meetings than you're talking about that every day
@@pumaqueen6 Actually, we don't get into details. The reason we don't is to not cause someone to be triggered. We all have different things that can cause us to use again. This could be a specific detail, smells, sounds, places or stress. Not everyone has the same triggers. Someone going into a detailed drug story can cause someone else to have what is called "phantom tastes" and/or "phantom smells" which is when someone can hear, see or smell something that causes their brain to remember what a substance tasted like or to remember what they physically felt after using. Those phantom tastes and smells decrease over time with some people. It takes a hell of a lot of strength to get up everyday and go about life and facing people, places and things that will trigger them, us. But that's what has to happen to overcome addiction. Hope this explains some things🙂
I LOVE YOU ARTIEEEEEE!!! Stay sober. Stay home or wherever you are and enjoy your money my man. You have worked hard enough already. Enjoy the rest of your life sober and healthy without the pressure of the show business career.
You probably voted for biden if you support this retarded idiot
I hope he's able to do that. I have a feeling he's on suboxone or methadone. It would be very very difficult for him not to have any kind of opiates. He was using daily since he was a teen, and very very high amounts once he got rich, and did that until his 50's. It's very very hard to just stop all medications, and all use at that point, and stay that way indefinitely. He did amazing though regardless, and looks great in this interview, so I hope he is off everything. Not saying there's anything wrong with suboxone or methadone, especially if they're not affecting your life negatively at all, so it's still pretty much clean, but you're still on something though. Suboxone and methadone are incredibly powerful opiates, which is necessary if you'r trying to come off things like heroin and fentanyl.
I’ve always liked the way Arire moves his hands when he talks. Fascinating to me.
Creeps me out
The Golden Era was when Artie Lange was on Howard Stern.
When he was on Stern during the 2005 era about a year before HS went to sat 📡 radio.
artie and his intern 'teddy' ..and hi-pitch mike
Grand Lake Paranormal Society Wrong. When he was on MAD TV
@@augmentedkeys5971 I'm saying it was for Howard himself...not Artie.
Wow didn't recognize him til you said that holy shit he's been through it
Artie looks great and full of life and seems happier and hes funnier too. Happy for him.
And before you get confused, Joe Used Legion of skanks' place in NY while he was there for the fights
Thank you. I was literally scrolling for the explanation to this set.
Shawn Hass same! I really wondering why the different studio.
i was in the hospital twice where i could have serious pain dope pretty much when I wanted it. It was a real nice feeling for sure. But after a few days, when the pain was manageable without it, I stopped asking for it. Yes it was a nice high, but it also pretty much knocked me out. Didn't like sleeping 20 hours a day.
link to full video?
Artie’s nose looks like it has a cleft lip.
Indiana Pwns hahahahahahaha god damn I laughed a real healthy out loud laugh 😂
He actually doesn't look bad. Looks like he's clean
He is
At this point he might as well just do heroin until he dies
@@ryanjones9498 why, when he's already gotten clean? Dont be THAT guy
he looks horrific
@@ianahola2854 he looks good, nose looks awful
He left his nose as is… as a reminder to himself and a warning to others. Respect to Artie.
God I love Artie. I hope he's doing well.
Looks like a totally different person know that he's clean
He resembles Tom Friendly from Lost now.
Having my doubts this sobriety will last, hope the best for him regardless
Kinda got a Teddy Atlas vibe going on
He look good (even with the collapse nose).
He’s a really nice guy, and he’s insanely good at talking. It’s heartbreaking what happened to him and I hope he stays sober as long as he lives.
I’m convinced Artie is the toughest SOB on the planet. With all he’s been through would have easily killed a weaker human being. God loves you Artie!! Stay well my friend! You’re still here for a reason!
Honestly his nose looks a lot better now than what I've seen in pictures and no not the swollen one. It looks strange now but not as deformed like Arie grew into it.
He just looks different
" To snort the pills, you gotta crush them up" -Artie Lange
MrCAK1994 😂😂😂😂
Ha, like ima snort a whole uncrushed pill up my nose. Thanks Artie
The Artie years were simply the best!!!
I really hope and pray that Artie is clean and healthy. He has the ability to change so many lives with his story.
We love you Art... Hope to hear from you soon
His nose looks like Chris Farley's nose at the end of Dirty Work
lol
Those damn Saigon whores!
Shut your cake hole Yoko!
burnoutberry wow 😂😂😂
Dammit, I was gonna type the same thing!
Art looks amazing, even with the jacked up beak.
He doesn’t look much like he used to. I’m not sure how that is a bad thing at all. He looks and sounds awesome. Hope he just keeps following this path.
I love Artie and it is so great to see him energetic and sober
Michael Jackson called ...….. he thinks Artie's nose looks weird.
Lol now that’s good!!
Joe and Vincent D’Onofrio get on well
M D thought this too
Damn
That is golden
Probably won’t happen but Joe should totally do a Vincent D’Onofrio podcast. Such a great actor
Salton Sea
Artie looks great, he was chronically obese his whole adult life. Now he looks in shape and healthy. Good for him.
Artie's utter and complete honesty has always endeared me to him. Greatest storyteller ever. I think he looks fantastic now and I'm so happy to see him healthy and lucid. I love this guy.
“You know that situation got solved the way it had to get solved”
Joe: What does that mean?
Artie: “He’s fine I’m fine everybody’s fine”
I wonder what the real story is...you know that somebody isn't "fine," lol.
Yeah that kid is long gone.
Whacked
Nah sounds like he got bitched
Sounds like Artie let it go in favor of getting high tbh.
Dont like the new set. Doesn't have the laid back vibe.
405 ZXZ I think it’s just a guest set because the description of the podcast mentions it was recorded in an nyc studios. I imagine it was the best way to interview Artie at the time
They’re literally in New York lmao
They're in NY
Joe was in NY for the UFC.
Hes going serious
I know someone that was working the ER in St. Louis when Artie came in for the “glass snorting”. Nobody in the ER knew who he was but word spread fast about “the guy who snorted crushed glass” rather quickly. She told me about it saying “he’s a comedian or something?” I instantly knew who it was with hearing his name because radio stations had been announcing his show cancellation.
Something about his stories doesn't add up. He's intentionally leaving out information.
No shit man it’s Artie .. lying is his thing
