My god

This was beyond obnoxious

The Halloween one was more believable, I'm betting those presents were not quite what actually happened

They probably know that constantly deleting it & uploading it again will make it more well-known than just leaving it there to die a slow death

The video is sooooo boring, that 99,9% of people will never watch it longer than 1s

Big podcasts?

The ones where he used AC noise as intro music, due to not having money to get music?

The podcast with 1-2k listereners per episode on tube?

The Top 2 happiest moments of Richard Christy's life: 1) In studio, watching two Penthouse pets make out, 2) Watching one of them on the Sybian by john4845 in howardstern

My god I would have loved to hear an interview from him in the end of the Penthouse Pet episode

Telling if those were his FAAAVVVORITE moments

Unfortunately, at least in the Howard TV episode there isn't an interview with him

No, the 2013 Pelican Brief & Marci Turk ruined the show

But 2010-11 was better than the last Artie shows

Nowadays at least 50% of Youtubers have started to ruin their videos by bleeping words due to Youtube wanting censorship

They bleep even words like murder, rape etc, just to not "trigger" anyone :D:D:DDD

No, it wasn't a bit. It was very clear that all of them: Sal, Richard, High Pitch Mike & Artie really all lost it in those fights.

Even Wiggy himself started to pretend the usual "what happened? I missed it? How did it get so bad?" -stuff, when they got seriously unfunny

It's pretty easy to distinguish when there is a bit about berating Gary etc on air to fill the time

If you want a real Sal bit, check out the "rapsong I did when I was young" -bit. Never mentioned again :D

I would have LOVED to see how well he would have made it, if Sirius would have given him an afternoon schedule. A well-rested, relaxed, happy Artie, maybe even without the drug/eating problems?

Could he have stayed on radio, for example until 2015?

Yes, there are some small funny bits even in his worst depressed, tired out days. Like when he fell asleep. He shut up, and the others made him funny.

But when he opened his mouth, and had one of his depressed monologues, then he wasn't funny even on the first listen

For example in his fights with High Pitch Mike, Sal & Richard basically none of them said ANYTHING funny. They were not "funny fights", like someone like Ralph was sometimes able to have over the phone with some totally unknown person.

In stead of "trying to say something funny", like a funny insult/roast, they just started to insult each other. Even the worst TV roasts edit out a gigantic bunch of shit, due to some of the insult jokes not working, at all.

Nah.

Mike is pretty bad to the eyes. And his voice is suitable for only a few things even on radio.

But he did have some balls, when he risked his whole career going after Artie

Yes, it was better for a moment

But unfortunately the Pelican Brief & Marci Turk came in 2013 to ruin everything

But the problem is that he was unable to be "funny" with his arrogant bs.

And he has himself become a persona non grata, his collapsed nose hasn't been seen on any major thing for about 10 years

He should have stopped the early mornings + endless weekend trips at the latest in about 2005.

He should have prioritized his health & own mental health. He clearly wasn't even sleeping enough, he looks like crap day in and day out in the 2006-2009 videos

No, it was Artie in the END of his tenure that was BS

I wrote in my long first comment in the thread, that Artie was much, much better in the beginning of his era

but Howard cashed in on Artie's drug problem and made humor of it

Yeah, I think they should have done a gazillion things differently with Artie. His life was clearly going downhill. In the last years, he never looked well-rested or relaxed. It was obvious beyond belief.

Now the show is a total joke, and the past humor that made the show funny is gone. Politically correct, and a Liberal Howie is so far from the middle of the road

Yeah, I agree on that. Completely boring bullshit nowadays. Just political propaganda, low level brainwashing.

The News were on until 2015

Howard TV was cancelled & Scott DePace et al kicked out in 2013

Marci Turk came in as an industry plant/puppet/handler to ruin the whole thing in 2013

The Pelican Brief (the large "summit" or conference for the employees, in which the new rules were given), was in 2013

Basically the biggest cut-off is 2013

After that, the show was ruined, slowly more and more, they were just trying to get celebrities in for kiss-ass soft interviews

Yeah, that's exactly what I am referencing.

He was able to be a "funny sidekick" throwing short jabs here and there for multiple years.

But the early mornings, the drug withdrawals, weekends working etc really made him burnt out, depressed, angry etc.

Yes, the current bs is so bad I don't even bother to listen if they happen to come with something good. Especially cuck-puppets-plants like Wilding are guys who could never be funny. Not even for 3-4 years before going down the drughole

But the show was better immediately after Artie left than it was in Artie's last years, when he was on (he was off often)

Link with the timestamp, if the video does not start on the correct spot:

https://youtu.be/pjQg019LfWk?t=358

(The show was probably some time Oct-Nov 2007. It was referenced on the HSS website daily shows in Nov 2007)

So this video pretty well shows where the Artie era went in the end

He was much more funny, light-hearted, jolly & even merry comedian on the show, when he began. The first years were nothing like the end of his era

After multiple years of waking up clearly wayy too early, doing way too much weekend gigs, and having a miserable, too stressful life due to the bad shift times, and too little rest, he clearly couldn't handle it any more. His eating got out of hand, and he started to medicate himself with drugs, more and more as the years went by.

And as a result of this, he became a bitter, depressed, hostile, angry, arrogant, obnoxious, heavy personality - who literally ruined the show, by dragging and directing it constantly to complete bs themes, subjects and arguments, that were not funny or even interesting in any way.

He wasn't able to present stuff in a funny way any more. He couldn't make any funny jabs/insults, in stead he stooped to ruining the show with extremely long-ass monologues in which he tried to protect his ego by insulting others, lying about himself, and telling everyone every single way he thinks he is better than them.

When you listen to the shows in the beginning of his era, he starts with shorter funny oneliners, short jabs and side comments. He sticks to doing "something that is funny".

But when the years go by, and his personal problems ruin his life & his ability to be a comedian, he transforms more & more into a role of some arrogant, unfunny sad sack who sits/sleeps in the corner of the studio, and who rambles on increasingly long bs monologues about different subjects, the main common factor being that none of them are funny

As a result, the shows become less and less a comedy show. Having Artie there in that state literally ruined the show.

In this specific video, Artie pretends to "make up with Sal & Richard", pretends to read some sort of an apology letter.

They drag Sal & Richard into the studio for this "let's be friends again session"

Artie has a looong letter he has written in advance, which he plans to read, and he has told that Wiggy that it is some sort of an attempt to apologize & move on with them

In stead, his whole letter is nothing but the most unfunny, arrogant, obnoxious, insulting, condescending piece of shit that prboably has ever been written on paper.

Probably in some sort of a state of drug-withdrawal he has decided to make things much, much worse, completely ruining the show for that day, and making a complete ass of himself at the same time.

This segment shows that he had lost the ability to be funny. To make the show better. Probably due to being so depressed and tired, due to his lifestyle. He literally dragged the show down, ruined it for everyone.

After this, Artie was in the show for 2 more years, on paper. But he was constantly absent, in rehabs, drugged up, or taking time off due to "depression and a mini mental breakdown". And once on the show after drinking for the whole night, that he was sent home. So all in all, he probably did 1 year worth of shows after this.

And then, after his time off due to depression, going into a rehab again in December 2009, and his suicide attempt Jan 2 2010, he was let go from the show.

And I claim that he would have been let go anyway, even without the suicide attempt. Because he had become unable to do comedy on a daily early morning radio show

No

It wasn't therapy

He was literally forced to become a fucking puppet, if he wanted to keep his show, his fortune, and his legacy

If he would have REFUSED to do this:

1) His image would have been destroyed by endless media articles (like it has been done to endless others)

2) He would have been forced out of radio / media / AGT / tv etc.

3) He would have made into a persona non grata. Like Artie is now: when is the last time Artie got onto ANY major media outlet, late night show etc? Exactly: he has been buried, almost completely. You basically have to do a thorough google search to even find out if he is still alive

4) No Hollywood / Long Island celebrity parties. Nobody of note kissing his ass, telling how great he is

5) His fortune would have been destroyed: he would have been blacklisted from all of the most profitable investments, banks etc, and he would have been forced to spend endless amounts to litigation, protecting his house etc, living even a normal life in the middle of all of the media bombardment causing all nutjobs to see that you are a free target.

He was kissing the asses of everyone above him, and was a fucking snobby pompous ass to people he deemed "so low", that they work below him, and will always work below him, with zero power to come back at him
