And Howard just keep making excuses for how his behavior is. "Someone told me about changing medication...". Give me a fucking break. Howard had to know.

Self preservation

@@easterdmI honestly don't think he did at the time. Artie masked his heroin use with drinking. I'd say most addicts can tell he was using.

@@sambino2726Yeah, you're probably right.

At this point, Artie didnt owe the show anything. His weight and addictions were used for entertainment. I'd lie to all these scumbags too if I was him. It was funny that he did it for years and fans are still butthurt over it and comment about it 15 years after the show ended.

No chance anymore, he doesn't have the money or the fame and is even less attractive now than he was in 2005.

@@JD-Mediaouch😂 love Artie

She’s a 6 either way

Didnt she leave him? How is that ride or die

@@JD-Media Artie is still rich, he had Siruix FM stocks, had 2 mansions, still get royalties from TV appearances

That’s hilarious to think about. Artie with the preppy clothes and a bored look.

Artie sober with Dana and thin is an alternative universe I would like to see

Heroin beat out Dana

I kinda think Artie should've settled down with Dana.. guy hits 40 should settled down or something

@@srobliski you can drug test me right now! A classic attempt to make the accusers feel like the guilty ones… That, and “check my pockets” id say allll the time, mostly when I didn’t have it bc I wanted them to look at see they were wrong and manipulate more and more to make family and friends feel bad for caring

This part sounds like dui bodycam and suspect has 4x limit bac

@nimo517. Opiate addict here. 15 years. Never heroin. All in pull form. Crazily, I’ve been on Paxil for 3 years now. Coincides with being clean. Paxil hasn’t made me crazy. It has calmed me down a lot and has contributed to staying clean. There are things I hate about it, but overall it’s a positive

@@vincedidiana5781 see this is the type of information that doesn’t get spread around! I just hit 4 years and I’ve never hated opiates more since all the fentanyl… …my buddy, also a 15 year addict, has stopped a few times since he was 20yo, but never truly wanted to be done… 3 months ago he quit, and made it a big production. “No suboxone!” He said, “I don’t want to just become addicted to another drug.” And he texted me for a week complaining about the withdrawals, and I happily listened, knowing how mentally hard it is to do…. “Why start subs now?! I’m almost off everything, so why get on Suboxone?!” Last night, “Hey man. Don’t respond. I’m looking at 10-30 years. Keep in touch with my mom.” I assume someone is dead, like manslaughter or god knows… now I’m fucking anxious about it, and threatening my sobriety by getting an itch

Artie sleeping on the show was fucking hilarious.

@@DABA2024 ya that was comedy genius…. You’re being sarcastic right? Haha

@@DABA2024 and woah!’ DABA!!!! What’s up?

You're underrating how hard it is to be interesting on the radio for 4+ hours a day, starting first thing in the morning

@@quiksix25true. But he was great at it. His drug and alcohol addiction was the only thing that stopped him from his success on the show.

Non alcoholics could go years without drinking. I don’t know anyone who couldn’t go 3 months without drinking I smoke weed but could go years without it. Seek help. How could anyone go 3 months without alcohol ? You have a serious problem

I wish I could. I have a problem.

It's easy when you're not an addict to something or have a will of steel like Howard

@@easterdmseek treatment. Plenty of help out in the world nowadays. Rehab was actually a great experience for me.

True. But while we are alive we mine as well strive to enjoy it. Being addicted to drugs and alcohol is a really terrible way to live. It’s like living in hell and your mind is imprisoned.

i prefer not to look at his inverted nose
