How was your Saturday? Oh my god, football is tomorrow. I can't fucking wait. I know we got this other Bills-Rams game, which was dope, But tomorrow, all-day football. Yay! Yay! What was that? I find it odd that Vice put Ari Spears on when he barely ever interacted with Ari. Brian counted.

And they put on the chick, too. The people they interviewed were odd. They did get Tim Sabian and Doug Goodstein. I'm going to play some of that, by the way. Because, just a certain part. Because I was very interested in the way they attacked Howard Stern during that. And watching that, it. And watching that. It was odd watching that.

You would think Artie Lang is dead. The way they approached it. Very odd. But. Yeah. That was your Saturday. Mad dubs. And crown victories. A lot of sticks and stones dubs And crown victories A lot of sticks and stones

Dubs I'm loving that sticks and stones by the way I'm loving It's so much fun To just beat on a nigga with callies And shit And it's like Now in that mode

The best way is to roll with your team But It's just full attack mode on that shit. It's so much fun. And like, a nigga's chasing you, but you got your riot shields on and you just hear him beating on you. But you got restock and your thermite finally comes up and you turn around and thermite his ass. Done that mad time. It happened to me a couple of times.

I'm a real king. Oh, yeah. Bucks versus the Cowboys. Can't wait for that game. But, yeah. Saturday. Chika-chika-woo-woo. but yeah Saturday all right the first video I'm watching right now is his own Benjamin thing only because I haven't seen it and I want to see him respond

Komi had dropped that video responding to him what was Komi had dropped that video responding to him what was Komi's thing um stuttering John is a liar Opie's a liar and mentally ill

Owen Benjamin is a genius and mentally ill I think this is him responding to that into the Gavin thing. I thought my Twitch was gone. It's still there. I didn't think my Twitch was there even. Hmm. I want to see what

Owen had to say in response. So hopefully it doesn't happen again. But if it does, if it does, just wait like three minutes and then click the link I sent you again. So I'm in a third world country.

That's to be expected. You're somewhere in the middle of nowhere, right? Yeah, I'm in America. I'm in Idaho. Are we live? We're live. We're live. Oh, sweet.

Awesome. Yeah. So I was just doing a little intro as to why we're talking to each other. I guess some of your fans last week told you I called you a pussy on my show last week. Yeah, yeah. I saw that. So I'm not really backing down from that just because of the whole reason. Damn, he's calling you a pussy.

A six foot eight pussy. Owen Benjamin really is six foot eight. But he used to fuck Christina Ricci. Those sweet tits that come on her big Klingon forehead. Ruining the prank

and all that. But we'll get to that. No, that's fine. I just want to talk about what you consider humor and all that stuff. I'm excited about today. Yeah, no, it should be good. I think that some forms of humor, like pranks, are inside jokes. Yeah, do you like that comedian Jussie Smollett?

Do you think he's a funny comedian? I knew you were going to go there. I heard you on some other shows this past past week. I think that I'm curious, though. Do you think that's good commitment to a bit? That that was there was like a malintent there. That was that's completely different. That wasn't like it's it's literally identical. It's so... No, it's not. Okay. Gavin didn't actually call the cops and file a police report.

It is different, stupid. Okay, so you have a guy... A guy that wants to start a race war, basically. You're applying intent. You're the one applying intent. I'm just breaking down the... No, that's what Jesse Smollett tried to do. So the joke was.

It wasn't a joke. And also, this was a prank. Are you going to let me talk or is this going to be the whole thing? No, no, no. Go ahead. Go ahead. Okay. So the left wing in America is really terrified.

Smash this pussy weirdo guy who show I'm watching and I don't know who you are fired of Mega people and mega people really terrified of the FBI. So what you saw with Jesse Smollett is He pretended I'm lagging or you like people and what you saw with Gavin McGinnis Is he pretended to be attacked by the FBI and you you're applying intent. OK, fine. Is a lot of my friends were really nervous. I know you're in Costa Rica, so you don't have to worry about the FBI there.

America, I have to worry about the CIA. Sorry, the CIA is entrenched in here, so I have to worry about them. Cool. Anyway, so a lot of people are really worried that they were going to be arrested, you know, and Gavin McGinnis was pretending to be arrested. And I can ascribe that it was for Mellon because I texted him, you okay? Because I happen to like Gavin. I've always liked

Gavin, even when his last prank, when he shoved a dildo in his ass to on the left. I mean, we can discuss that as well, like where the humor is there but um i was like you okay man and he goes it's a prank don't tell i go well a lot of my friends are reporting like it's real and they're real like nervous like there's a lot of people i knew that were like we got to help gavin the fbi is overreaching blah blah blah and i'm like when are you going to come clean and he said never and just to let you know that if you never come clean on a prank, it's not a prank, it's a scam. And so he texted me, never. And then I go, so you're just going to tell your audience

that you got arrested by the FBI? Obviously, never. You'd come back and just do a show on Monday. What are you talking about? The FBI, and he goes, I never told them that. And so I said, true. And then I'm like, and it started weighing on me because more and more people were reporting on it and acting crazy.

And a lot of people that were in the Proud Boys, because a few of the Proud Boys are currently in federal custody. And so they weren't enjoying the prank too much especially once it was obvious he wasn't going to come clean i was on the show gavin has nothing to do with the proud boys anymore and how many fucking flies are going to fly in front of your camera benjamin i used to tour with the impractical jokers professional comedian for 20 years i know you said i'm not a comedian because I live in the middle of nowhere, but that's not true. It's I'm really good at franking and punking.

And the key is to reveal it. Like when I was on episode three of the celebrity and then that's the reveal. Sorry to cut you off. Yeah, it's on Netflix. And so the key is one don't. Punk your own audience. He does it all the time. Which Gavin was doing.

I don't, so maybe that's the relationship they have, but he was punking a lot of people that I knew that were very nervous. And then when he told me he was never coming clean, I thought that I should, you know, punk is punk, prank is prank. And so if it was really just a prank and not a scheme, why did they get so mad? Like, why did people like you that I had no problem with call me a pussy and say I'm not a comedian? And all these people are spiraling. Now, not just wait.

If it was actually a joke, if it was actually a joke and not something more nefarious, why wouldn't Gavin have just been like, because Gavin said, oh, you spilled the beans. We're done. Bear in mind mind at that point I had never said his name. Owen you're not a comedian you do a musical act. You play the piano

and some other faggot shit trying to tell jokes. That redhead dude does it way better I don't know his name but you know what I'm talking about the redhead British dude he does it way better. I don't know his name. But you know what I'm talking about. The redhead British dude. He does it way better than you.

And you're a weirdo. Who talks about the Anunnaki or whatever. And everything is a conspiracy. And you live in a shed in Idaho. And you got some white people to give you money to do it. No, but it. What the fuck fuck is Stina Ricci now? It was obvious. Well, it was obvious to my audience,

but it wasn't something the media could run with. No, but it was obvious to Gavin's audience as well, which then, you know, like all the chatter, it then spreads out to everywhere else. Okay, like, for example, I know you're in Costa Rica, but today Steve Bannon reported that 35 of Trump aid, Trump's people have just been raided. Are those pranks?

Like, how do we know if that's a prank or not? Okay, this is what I... Gavin went to France on vacation. You're filibustering, dude. There's so many points that, like, you mentioned that I... I'm filibustering. Okay, go ahead. Yeah, yeah. Go ahead.

I think that it's... We're focusing on like the people who got fooled most people didn't get fooled most people were like this is fake and then there was an internal debate with the audience so when you know gavin it's pretty uh apparent that it was fake and then um the steve bannon thing pretty apparent that it's not fake for instance it's this is not a boy who cried wolf type of scenario. Real quick, I know that I get it, but what you're saying isn't true. I'm going to read you a Josh Denny tweet.

He said, just got off the phone with our people. It's not a bit. Gavin was against going to January 6th. He was against Charlottesville and told the Proud Boys they were out of the club if they went, but he's rotting in jail because he dared to question authority. The ginger fag Josh Denny. We aren't canceling any. Working on censored TV to get him out.

Ginger homo. Will fucking be there. Hashtag free Gavin. So that was a... I'm just getting this video out of the way, by the way, only because I personally... Do you think Gavin told him to tweet that? Well, Gavin didn't freak out on Josh Denny like he freaked out on me. If I was Gavin McGinnis right now, I would be way more angry at Josh Denny,

who tried to capitalize on it for money with Gavin because they're touring together, than I would me. I just felt bad. I'm not the type of guy that goes along with stuff like that. I mean, you could have just ignored it. First of all, let me. No, I couldn't. Because one of my best friends was reporting on it.

Vox Dei. I know. Vox Dei. I know. So he's reporting on it. And so I. Should I not tell my friend? Should I not tell my friend?

You could tell your friend, hey, this is bullshit. Maybe you want to take that down. But you went on a stream and told everyone. By the way, back to the text. Yeah, because a lot of my listeners were former Proud Boys that were very nervous. Okay. That they were going to be rounded up by the FBI and pranked into the federal custody. Because see, right now Gavin is a free man.

And some of his followers are literally in prison. And so we have some crossover audience. You know, we're both funny guys. I don't find you particularly funny, Owen Benjamin. And, a lot of those people were worried that they were going to be arrested.

You know what? I mean, does anyone consider Owen Benjamin funny? they should still be worried because of what's happening. Like, Gavin's thing doesn't change the reality of everything

that's happening. Like, even before he became crazy conspiracy dude, he was just doo-doo and say shit. He's not a funny guy, though. Gavin made light of it. You're 6'8". You can't be funny.

Huh? No, well, light of what? I've never been arrested by the government what the actual persecution is coming from corporations it's coming from terms and conditions it's coming from youtube twitter yeah man that's a whole nother subject which we can get to later on corporations man a prank which you didn't find uh was tasteful and that's a whole nother conversation as well but for instance you've known gavin probably longer than i have in a more intimate level than i do he's just a guy who hired

me um we've met in person twice or something um you should i've hung out with him three times in person in my own life you beat you still beat me but the the right but but but don't imply that me and him are super tight because we're no but friendly but it there's nuance in texts that you don't you don't really like grasp if unless you're like talking to someone on the phone or face to face when he says never uh that he could be sarcastic and then you just went with christine so he's now became your meme. So he's pranking. Yeah, so he's pranking the prank. Dude, there was a whole other setup to the joke that would have pretty much revealed without him saying, hey, guys, I was joking.

You've been punked. There was a whole setup that people would have been like, okay, I get it. And by the way, like Gavin, maybe one of his faults, I would admit, is he shoots himself in the foot. This definitely was not to sell tickets. This was not to get subscribers who would subscribe to a network that without like the main attraction. No one's subscribing to this network because of my

show, which again, that was another weird thing. Like I said what my opinion was last week. And then you like it's interesting to me that you wanted to come on to talk to me considering I'm really a nobody. You have a. Now, this is the funniest part, bro. I people recommended I talk to you because you're into homesteading and they liked you. So what we have a lot in common. We actually have a lot in common. Like I've actually wanted to get you on this podcast long ago, and then I

kind of was... I wouldn't say pissed off, because it's not like it ruined my day. I'm sure Gavin is really pissed off. If I took that Gavin McGinnis offer, I could be talking to Owen Benjamin. A fly literally landed on his forehead.

Look at his forehead. A fly landed there. Yes, as of the running shot of lawsuit, I was offered to be on censored.tv. I love censored.tv, but, um, personally, couldn't take it.

Not for any reason. Um, doesn't work for me, the way I do shit. But a fly landed on that nigga's forehead. When I put it. Look, look, look. There's a fly. There's so many fucking flies.

Land on your forehead. But I was kind of like. Why would you have him be pissed off? Like, okay. Because there was a whole bit left. Like, they were going to do a whole week of shows that would have been him calling from prison, and clearly that would have been a joke. And then that would have said, hey, guys, I'm joking, but without saying I'm joking. Right, but here's the thing.

Why isn't his audience more mad at me? Why are they so mad at him if I ruined a harmless joke? Why are so many of them saying, you piece of shit, Gavin, now no one's going to believe anyone who's arrested by the FBI, boy who cried wolf, all this stuff. Because they have an intimate relationship with him. When you watch someone show every single, like I'm sure your audience does with you.

When you watch someone show every day, you feel like you're friends with them, so you're worried. And the reason why Gavin continually does these kinds of pranks to his audience is because he really likes to fuck with them. It's his style. Like when he made out with Milo.

Everyone in this audience thinks it was a joke because dummy Tim Pool covered it. This dummy though is a real thing. No, no, I'm drunk already. Although, if I was Gavin, I would take it as a compliment. On censored TV,

you did that little bit and it got kind of mainstream coverage just from Tim Pool and Owens bitching about it? And why are you not responding to Kumeyaay yet? Consider that gay or is that more humor? Since you're mentally ill, which you are.

I put his tongue in a gay man's mouth. I think that was funny because... You said that my take was gayer than Milo, which is crazy. Both can be true. Both can be true. It's funny and it's gay. Milo, which is crazy. Both can be true. You said that on your stream. Both can be true. It's funny and it's gay. Milo's literally gay.

He's a gay man. He claims to not be anymore, but that's a whole other subject. He's pranking. That's a prank. But you stood by Gavin during those jokes, and now you're using that. Right, because it didn't. Yes. Yes, I am.

Because Gavin has went on recently and gaslit me. You might know that ever since the spilling of the beans, Gavin went on his stream and said that I was crazy and insane because I ate a pot brownie and he stood by me when I was anti-Semitic and all this nonsense. So he's not really handling it like somebody whose joke has been revealed. He's handling it like someone that a lot of people are mad at because, okay, let's say a girl pretended to be raped. And I't know if you've ever had been swatted i've been swatted i've had authorities

come to my house and it's not fun it's very traumatic and so let's say a girl and his co his half asian co-host a girl and her half asian co-host set up a whole gag where she was violently raped and then from the the hospital for the next two weeks they were going to call in and be like my vagina is sore or whatever blood all over me but he didn't do that come you know in a bag

he just stood up and his dream ended and then someone's like dude she wasn't really raped you know and then the fake rape victim is going to be like, Oh, Owen's crazy. Owen went insane. He's not a real comedian. He's a pussy. He's the gay one, right? You guys sound nuts. And me and you, I was presented with your stream a while ago because one of my listeners was like, you and this dude have a lot in common. You like homesteading. You

both don't like spells, all that the shit and then that same guy is like sorry for trying to link you two up he just called you a pussy and said you're not a comedian and all this shit i'm like okay well hopefully we can talk this out because the world doesn't need fake rivalries for money i mean i know you're on censored tv and you have a financial obligation to defend gavin no but that's not true i I could disagree with him I actually I didn't mean like I disagree with him on many political things but But I can tell you since I was offered a show uncensored They do pay a lot more than Kunia a lot more but um, I

Guess it wasn't right fit for me. But I think if I was like, that joke was bullshit, not funny, I don't think he would fire me. Do you think the fake FBI funny, the fake FBI raid for, and then going to France is good comedy? Joe, put it this way. Do you not see how someone might not find that good comedy? Yes. Yes, but that's kind of like anything like uh i i know it's not the same

because they're on completely different levels but literally andy kaufman's whole career was pranking his own audience or just the general population and then in red he was arrested was that a prank when when andy kaufman was arrested gavin wasn't arrested oh you're talking about Andy Kaufman Yeah Okay yeah Andy Kaufman I never thought he was that funny I thought he was a weird guy He was funnier than you And he didn't end up In a thing in Idaho

For sure weird But like I grew up fascinated And then try to set up Kaufmanteria You fucking weirdo Right Grew up fascinating stick and then try to set up Kaufman Terrier I Grew I was born in 86. So it's not like I grew up with Andy Kaufman But growing up with a lot of copycats like Eric Andre and Tim Heidecker and all these people You want to go to the source and i i went to the source which was andy kaufman and i was fascinated by by his humor

because he was pretty much pranking like the network executives and the audience and the network and the and the the you know the sitcoms he was in and all that so i thought that that was funny now if you were did he ever pretend to be arrested by the fbi or was it more white it's we're talking about like uh like no we're not talking about two different things you know i'm saying about a comedian i'm an expert at comedy dude just understand this i know all about andy kaufman lenny bruise pranking all of it i've been a cast member of these shows what you're describing is not what gavin did none of those people pretended to be arrested they weren't arrested and they told people that they weren't coming clean as the world got really worried about the political climate

would do silly things like put a mole on the wrong side of their mouth no what's that no am i breaking up that's what andy kaufman did he would pretend he was on the moon or something he wouldn't pretend to be raped he wouldn't pretend to be in prison Gavin didn't pretend to be raped like being swatted is very similar to being raped and if you haven't had it happen you have no idea what you're talking about

if someone kicks in your door and shoots your fucking dog it sucks alright being like thrown on the ground and having your fucking dog, it sucks. Right. I think... I think... Isn't it good to still argue about this? ...comes close to that level of insanity. I'm just saying, as an example,

he's someone who pranked the audience and he never let them in on the joke. By talking weird. Yeah, like Zach Galifianakis. He'd be like, or Mitch Hedberg. Trust me, I know the whole genre i'm okay i get it what gavin did which we didn't see the punch line because it was kind of cut short halfway through is in that in that week before he revealed it do you think there's a chance that anyone would i don't know shoot a cop or something no feel super

scared no really i think you're not maybe it's because you're not in america we're right now No. No. I think... Dude, I go to America every month. I'm not like... Now, I was going with a weird argument that goes against his shit where you say shit and someone else might do something because of the shit you say. Although, if one of your bear fags did something because you said some weirdo's shit, you'd be like, well, yeah, I just said it.

I mean, so what is he complaining about? Does this have hemorrhoids? Money? Huh? You fly to America once a month from Costa Rica? Well, I was during March through July. I was kind of going every month and a half or so, but now I can't. So Censored TV is hooking you up then? Censored TV is not.

I do my show on Gumroad during the week, and I guest host on InfoWars. So they also will pay for things in order for me to do that. I'm behind a paywall everywhere, so I need to go in front of as many audiences as possible. But that's not what we're talking about. No, by the way, Censored TV doesn't hook me up. They didn't do this to get subscribers. They didn't do this to sell tickets. Maybe Josh Denny did, if you want to talk to him. But Gavin didn't say, hey, Josh, we need to sell more tickets. You got to go do this to get subscribers they didn't do this to sell tickets maybe josh denny did you if you want to talk to him but gavin didn't say hey josh we need to sell more tickets you got to go do this

it was a prank on his audience and also a prank on the media that he hates and then like the right-wing media that all looks retarded now well gateway pundit never looked not retarded gateway pundit has always looked retarded if people pay attention to Gavin, which a lot of people do on this network, they understand, okay, this is clearly a joke. It's not even like a completely well-executed joke. But then some other people got fooled, and then eventually they'll realize, oh, it's not. You can completely differentiate that between Steve Bannon getting arrested or Alex Jones getting

sued no no wait so now I'm Benjamin is defending right-wing media yeah and you know what he raised money for every show he's raising money for them so far almost $20,000. Give it to me now. How am I not being honest? I will smash it. Because if a comedian has had his audience arrested because of the cowboys, it is joking. Give me it now. Say I'm pretty fly for a white guy. It is a long way.

For him to make light out of the bench busting down his door in his studio in private property in america that is not comparable to andy kaufman or eric andre or zach now who just has a weird they talk weird they pretend to have a limp or they're like stuttering he literally has listeners who are in federal no she doesn't want the phone so she could order something. The reason why I don't give stupid the phone to order something when I order, because I want to be able to order for an hour. So I'm trying to sneak off.

I'm trying to sneak an order that I want so I can get it in a reasonable time. And now what dummy's going to do is come back in a half hour and be like half hour later when i don't care it doesn't matter oh enough of the owen benjamin thing by the way i was doing the brendan shop thing last i had to check out this Artie Lang doc. Oh! They should have called this a shitting on Howard Stern doc. By the way,

how could they not get Artie Lang to do this? He's alive. Which I said to myself watching this, they're talking as if he's dead which is odd but um

old Tinky and Kyle they can fuck you I'm bumming off yeah I'm bumming off Des um but they kinda did Howard Stern dirty in this documentary. Why is it a doc?

How could you not get Artie Lang now? Like, he's still alive. Like, one would think you could get him. At least... Make an appearance. Des stay in your room. at least make it apparent Des stay in your room go milk Des she's cranky

oh when isn't she Des is yelling at me for wrenching Andy with no donation. But, yeah, I want to check out a little bit of this. Then we're going to get into the Brendan Shaw thing. But, um... I kind of didn't like the angle they took on this. It's going to be one of those things where I shouldn't say this out loud.

I purchased urine. You're kidding. Artie continues his downward spiral live on air. It just always left a black eye on the show and it was just always a nuisance. For some time, his erratic behavior has been fueled by something new. It started with opiates. Like I told you, it happened quick. I tried doing a sneak order, but she ordered what she

wanted. She hates it when I order food without her. The only reason why I do it is I'm ordering food. Do you want anything? Well, yeah. An hour later, I'll get the fucking phone back.

I mean, I order, I want it. It takes some time to deliver it. I like my beer like I like my violence domestic I never did domestic violence I played titties and beer by frank zappa frank zappa stinks just how to eat grass started with pills and eventually his pill intake was so much that his regular drug dealer said, why don't you do heroin? It's actually better for your liver. Let your freak flag fly. Who did they hire to be the Artie Ling actor, by the way?

Who are you on right now, Art? I'm taking, well, I'm taking this anti-anxiety, anti-depressant. He was all messed up one day. He's only on one, you're on two. No, isn't he on two it's one bill no and the glada bill oh it was a thursday you know morning by the way tim sabian what frames are those those are the ones costanza ended up buying or trading that dude with so many lady frames.

Gloria Vanderbilt Collection. The Dog Bitter Lane. Tim Sabian, what glasses are you wearing? I'll never forget his downfall. He was hired by, what was it? Westwood One and he brought in Opie. That was the death knell in his career, bro. As long as I live. Yeah, you can't handle those road gigs.

No, I don't. Listen, I'm burnt out from them. It's it, you know. Yeah. It's enough for me. You want to get yourself to look like you're ready to look better. I don't want to be found dead in a hotel room. You want to be found dead at home.

Yeah, that would be nicer. Right. And Artie was just whacked out. You going to make it through the next year? I'll be okay. We'll see. I'll be okay, man. I don't know. And Artie was just whacked out. You going to make it through the next year? I'll be okay. We'll see. I'll be okay, man. I don't know.

I don't want you worrying about me. Oh, it's too late. It was just a mess. Are you resigning? Let me ask you a question. Have I resigned? So, Mark, let's say I'm fast-forwarding a year, okay? I got to get my daughter.

I mean, really. You got to ask your daughter. You're not going to be able to do it. This is killing you. I always think the blue pill. Howard and I would talk during the breaks, and it finally came to the decision that maybe we should send him home. So I got him in the...

Why are you wearing those glasses, Sabian? ...the hole, and I said, Artie... ...and the vest, and... Apparently Tim Sabian has given up on me taking seriously anywhere you know maybe it's time for you to to go home you know and he's no no i want to finish the show i want to finish the show in a year arty won't physically be able to sign his name or a piece of paper we asked him to take a break and i said already maybe we just put things on hold for a bit uh and hopefully you get some help and he went home

Artie agrees to go to rehab but his friends at the Stern show are left with an uneasy feeling I felt very concerned and afraid because I didn't know if I'd ever see him again you can't force somebody to take treatment you can only leverage them and if you were also causing the addict to... If I say it's Pinsky, I call him Dr. Drew-Jewski, though. ...lose his or her job, well, that might get their attention. That might be the one thing that gets them into treatment. It also might be the thing that sends them to the streets and death. So it's not a clear thing.

Just eight days into rehab after his forced hiatus, Artie checks himself out. His mom was living with him at the time, and she had arranged for an intervention with close friends who've been great supporters of Artie throughout his life, especially with his sobriety. I tried calling Artie just to check on him, and of course he doesn't answer the phone,

and his mom and his sister are in hysteria because of the situation. While his family and his sister are you know in hysteria because of the situation while his family and friends gather for an intervention artie has other plans this is the shots i don't get we're doing a piece in arty we need an actor kind of looks like him but we're gonna blur it you gotta sit in a bed and do this thing. Kinda ringing that car. But I wonder if the actor goes like Daniel Day-Lewis and like, you know how Artie Lang was.

You sit in bed, do this blurry scene. Like, there's a little too much production being put into this. Artie took a kitchen knife and just started sort of cutting. And he kept cutting himself. He wasn't plunging it in like a sword. He drank some bleach and started vomiting. When his mother makes her way into Artie's home, she's met with a gruesome scene. He was bleeding pretty profusely to the point that if he wasn't found, he would have lost enough blood to bleed out and die.

That was the biggest shock. When I heard that news, it was just... Good feet! Didn't even seem real. The fucking good feet! I felt really guilty with the whole thing because I was the one that maybe provoked it or pushed him over the edge i i didn't know i never dealt with this situation before and i didn't know how fragile he was i will never forget the feeling that shook me when i got the call what happened to he did to himself. It rocked me. It rocked me profoundly. I was so upset. I did a lot of self-examination. I said, did I feed into this? Was I responsible for this? Looking back at it, we didn't get the professional help that we should have. So shame on it's tough what do you do with arty he's a

grown man he he's making his own decisions i never saw him at work doing anything that was inappropriate or illegal i never even realized i'll tell you i'm very focused on the show i never realized how he was in that kind of trouble i never you know what i actually thought Artie was off drugs. He's never been one to hide. Well, no, he didn't try to kill himself that way. But I get Stern's response to it. What he's struggling with. He's been very public about it. And it's actually hard for him not to be public

because some of it has been... Because Artie was being a weirdo. Bigger than life. I don't know if the show was good for him or bad for him. I don't know. I can't make those decisions. You know, I have mixed feelings about somebody being made fun of for addiction. In some ways, that's a way of breaking through their denial. The issue for the addict is to the extent that they're exposed to shame.

And if they really are, if you sense that they're shat on my brother Howard Stern how just helped our lane career I'll never leave how do you hurt you know how it's sending so like we but no. Howard's gonna be so, you know, like a dick and shit. Like, we hate Howard now, but, we fired our lead. Would I have fired him? What do you think? I don't know how because I'm an aesthetic then-stern.

I'm trying to say this thing again. I just think this document is in a real way, this. I'm just trying to's shot on the stern. I'm trying to say this now. Battered and ashamed in some way, then it's important to back off. I'm not sure if anybody was paying attention to that. The thing that sucks is that we'd laugh at Artie because Artie's funny.

He didn't need the drugs to make him funny. As a comedian, you fantasize and idealize the notion of, if I'm messed up, I'm a little better. I'm wild and I'm crazy. I'm Lenny Bruce. I'm Richard Pryor. That's the way to greatness. But it isn't. It's a lie you tell yourself. You can't be great that

messed up you just can't it's swimming with cement boots on Artie miraculously survives his violent attempt at suicide Howard is reluctant to invite Artie back to the show concerned it could be detrimental to his recovery but in all seriousness when the reality of life and death hit me, that he plunged a knife into himself several times, I vowed right then and there, I am not going to go on these airwaves and do anything to upset him or to rock his world.

He needs lots of tender, loving care. He needs the love of his family. He needs the love of his friends. He needs the love of his friends. And he needs to get better. You know, he was uncertain for 11 years, and that was his whole world. When he got let go, it had to just be another demon to him

that just probably haunted him. He's just a tortured, tortured soul. Gone from the Stern show, Artie moves back into his mother's basement, trying to piece his life back together once again. After a stint in a psychiatric institution, Artie returns to the world he knows best, drawing audiences through stand-up, TV roles, and podcasts. Direct TV cannot be a more awesome company to work for.

You see, I've led a full life. I've tried heroin, and on occasion I've run. Let me buy you a slice of pizza. Want to get a slice of pizza? I'll buy you a slice of pizza. Come on. I'll do that. Industry heavyweights take chances on him. Jed had, I'm going to say, a brilliant idea, which was instead of having Pete paired with someone who was kind of like Pete, why not pair Pete, my character Pete, with someone who was kind of like Pete why not pair Pete my character Pete with someone who's completely not at all like Pete My buddy is not that experience human education He was always saying stuff that was just better than what I wrote so like the debt I owe him but also just the humanity who's always encouraging me. It's not all it's cut out to be

It's not all a good shit. You think it is. It's not about being on stage all the time It's about the killing the time. It's about times like this You you know we tried to talk about what he's going through on the show so last season we did a whole episode and it was basically about pete i tried to appetite you had a gray or 10 years ago realizing how bad hardy's addiction is and the fact that you need that right hand ring surgery jesus now you got a lot of cow and gut that no matter how much he tries to help it doesn't work and it's really up to arty to find the strength to do it and arty was very brave about showing how painful his world can be by 2017 arty's drug abuse leads to a serious criminal record and physical decline you know every time arty goes sort of off the deep end, it's deeper and deeper each time.

And you just kind of, you're like waiting for something bad to happen. The only way that Mr. Lang is going to be able to succeed is if he's ultimately in an 18-month, two-year type program. I understand a drug court might be an option. In a 2018 court appearance, Artie is almost unrecognizable. The situation with his nose was really shocking. You're on one season. You didn't know Artie. The story was that he had broken a pill with a salt shaker,

and the salt shaker broke, and then he snorted not only the pill, but some broken glass. All of the damage is literally right there on his face. It just doesn't look the same. It breaks my heart. In Artie's darkest days... What they got out, not her vote. They got Orlando Jones, and Artie always said,

Orlando Jones, they got him. He has always turned to comedy. Artie was like, take it all. He's like, you can have the shame, you can have the pain, and the jokes. He was like, I'm here for the show. I never saw him blink or hesitate. Killing is a comic.

It takes away all the pain. You're so in the now. When you're doing drugs, you're in the now. But he can't live with everything that comes with that. It's like his undoing. Killing is a comic. Killing is bad. That statement, killing is a comic. You're doing the now. I'm Kevin's dad. Now I say,

the comics are comic. You're doing it now. You're gonna kill. That's why I hate stand-up comics. We're a group of nobody's laugh. Or some bullshit.

But we killed! You gotta be killed! A group of mostly white people just gonna laugh and work on our jobs. We killed. Ugh.

Did you? Anyway, that was boring. So there's a lot of thievery in... Nick Swartzen called Brendan Shaw a thief for Sutherland. Because he just steals stuff? I mean, I feel like he doesn't even have the mental capacity to do that.

No, he does, because he doesn't have the talent to be a stand-up, and he's selling out shows because he's Joe selling out shows because he's Joe Rogan's friend. Could you imagine sitting there for an hour? I mean not anymore. He's not friends anymore? No he's not selling out shows anymore I think everybody's kind of like okay we've seen enough and it's funny because he cancels shows because there's no tickets sold. Yeah they didn't do one AA show. They didn't do a video saying like, alright,

Thiefer Sutherland. No, he does. He doesn't have the talent to be a stand-up. He's like selling out shows. Could you imagine sitting there for an hour? He's not friends anymore?

Time was right, the night was long Remember Desiree, oh Desiree Somehow I knew I could only have you till the morning light If only for that single night The night was long, the time was right Do you remember Desiree? Oh, Desiree Do you remember Desiree?
