Artie

Nearly everything Artie says on Stern each morning is funny and right on. This morning he was making cracks about this girl who came onto the show who had dated their guest, "Dead Air Dave." He was making fun of her and her new boyfriend, in typical Artie fashion, when she quips about her boyfriend, "Well, he used to bang Artie's sister."

Silence.

I groaned out loud in the car. Howard and Robin start laughing and asking questions. Robin says, "Artie is fuming."

The next 10 minutes or so feature the guy coming into the show, saying nice things about Artie's sister. Artie does not crack one joke, and is trying super hard to play cool, but is absolutely insane with anger.

Howard keeps pestering away asking questions and details. He looks over to Artie and says, "You look crazy, murderous. What's wrong we you? Why are you pissed at me? I'm just asking questions."

Artie is quiet, "I'm not mad."

Robin busts up laughing - "he's going to kill someone."

Of all the funny things Artie says, this morning was the funniest...he was absolutely livid...over something he obviously shouldn't be livid over - the fact that his sister is out in the world dating - the same world Artie mocks and crudely remarks about all the time....Man, it was so human, so funny, so touching. Yes, I said touching.

I'm buying Sirius.
