JUICY did you call in howard stern today?!
As Artie got angrier and angrier about the situation, explaining that he felt Howard exploited situations like this to make better radio, which he thought was his true motivation for bring a girl like Jen on the show. Howard assured him that was not why he did it, he was just trying to help a “bro,” which Artie thought sounded gay. Howard defended his use of the word “bro” saying that it was what he called his very good friends, but Artie didn’t think they were so close and were really just co-workers, which Howard noted wasn’t the case because he didn’t call Sal “bro.” Again, Howard said it wasn’t his intention to embarrass him and was sorry if he did. Artie said he wasn’t buying Howard’s claim that they were good friends, because they hadn’t even had any real, serious conversations off the air, which Howard called bullshit, pointing out that they had had several deep conversations. Not to be deterred, Artie says, “Yeah right, I let slip that I had a problem with heroin and the next day you’re playing my voicemail and song parodies making fun of me.”
Artie continued to complain that Howard always reveals things on the air that he doesn’t want discussed on the air – as an example Artie said he never wanted his “Vegas hooker” story revealed. However, Howard recalled that Artie gave his permission to tell that story, to which Artie replied, “yeah, after you gave me no other choice.” Artie also said Howard revealed something he had told him in confidence about Dana, which Howard admitted might be true. Yet again, Howard said he was trying to make great radio by helping a friend meet a girl, who had expressed what he believed to be a genuine interest in him, because he has always enjoyed meeting girls through the show. He went on to say that he had no idea that Artie would be insulted by the segment, and apologized for offending him...and then thanked him for being such a great employee. Artie won’t give up though, saying that Howard’s first motive was to make great radio with getting him laid being further down on his list, and felt that great radio was “let’s get the fat guy laid.” Howard replied to that by swearing on a stack of bibles and his daughters’ lives that that was not the case, and Artie noted how much a stack of bibles meant to him, but did acknowledge that his daughters meant something.
all that drama because of bro's
