TACS 227

Artie Lange sits with Anthony to talk about growing up a Stern fan, the "radio war" between O&A and Stern, shitbag fans, over sharing during shows, and becoming successful against the odds. They commiserate about being PC, the assholes on-line, SiriusXM, Artie talks about joining Howard Stern's show, his shitty agents, tripping into stripper pussy, being a total fuck-up, and the effects of heroin. Artie then tells stories of arrests and police run-ins, leaving the Stern show, doing an incredible amount of drugs, losing friends because of drugs, real friends versus "show friends," and they talk about being motivated. The guys chat about acting their age, relationships, gambling, getting advice from professionals, the necessity of school, getting bitches, meeting parents, Beetlejuice, wacky radio contests, and Artie coming out to George Takei. They banter about an "old-timey hemorrhoid," Artie tells some stories about his childhood, his family, and his first stand-up show, they discuss comedy friends, comedy haters, Nick DiPaolo, Tough Crowd, Donald Trump, PC politics, changing comedy for different countries, Gilbert Gottfried, and getting approval from the mainstream. TACS comes to a close with the guys covering corporate life, feeling invincible, doing live reads, on-air bashing, the differences between podcasting and radio, rebelling against management, and sobriety.
