Wow he looks bad.

Also, I want to ask Vos how much he actually likes the New York Dolls.

He probably bought that shirt at a Bloomingdales for $200

Where did you buy the shirt would absolutely be in my line of questioning.

Can you also ask him where he got the old man hat?

He's gonna live to be 100 just to fuck with everyone.

This is what they said about Farley and Patrice

and keith richards but he's still going

Keef eventually slowed down a bit. Artie hasn't stopped.

Keith was still on it at Artie's age.

True, but at least he was in shape and not 300 pounds.

Artie has one of the hardest working hearts in show business.

If you combine their ages, they almost made it to 100. They only missed it by 26 years.

He looks like he's about to split open and spill the parasites running his brain all over the desk.

I'm betting on cockroaches coming out. Parasites seem too.... clean....

Modern day George Burns.

Vos makes every room hes in look like a senior center game room

He's been on the brink of death for the past 15 years now and he just never dies. He's gonna outlive us all.

That's really bad.

Has he lost his teeth now too!? Now that he's at the point where he'd probably be better off dying, he seems to be going on forever.

Vos looks really sad for his friend...this is quite depressing.

It looked like concern. It's pretty obvious that Artie is a total liability. He can't get off drugs. Even Norm saw that and just gave up trying.

At some point you have to ask yourself, is it wrong to put this mentally unstable, drug addicted person on display for people to see?

Vos knows what's up. Artie is at the point where the drugs are doing him.

This still looks more comfortable than the thousands of fake laughs and group selfies that stemmed from Opie's Afternoon Attitude.

I love panicky Vos.

His character has so much depth, especially with the zooms

"This fffffuckers dying over hhhhere"

His fucking nose is collapsing

His right side nose has less collagen than sandy kane's tits.

I can't look or listen to him anymore it's so uncomfortable

Artie leaves room, Ant glances nervously and dives into Deep Discount live read.

Ant taking notes from the Fez playbook

Take the stick Big Cat!

................

"....uhhhh"

That's... that's all I had.

"...... SHUT THE FUCK UP SHELBY!"

wow thats bad what did ant got himself into

A (temporary) excellent source of any illegal substance you could ask for.

Artie did not turn to look at either vos or Ant, after he got caught. Fucking sad....

He didn't make eye contact when he and Ant were on Jim and Sam too.

Artie and Anthony are objectively unpleasant to look at.

Grandma and Tranpa.

I wish Grandma would put her teeth in when she's doing a show.

Count Tranthula and Edgar from MIB

$20 says Artie doesn't know he's on camera.

are was actually kind of tolerable looking for a while though.. Now it's just a fat junkie who looks to skip showers sometimes

Arties gestures and the way he's acting is straight up someone who's just done a rail and is trying desperately to grasp onto reality and have come across "normal". In other words - he's fawkin' zooted.

I don't believe it by the way he keeps checking his pocket to make sure his package is still there.

he keeps looking off camera like he's waiting for a shot to make his move, hit the john and do another line.

He literally jumped up and walked off set before the show had ended.. he did the sane at the joe matarese roast .. he left before the Q&A.. even though, clearly as a comic, he could see he was in the middle of a brilliant moment

Tss, this guy hasn't done anything sane SOCK CUCKA

It just looks like he's paranoid about his nose bleeding on live video. Not sure if he would be dumb enough to keep snorting into his nose when it looks like that. A junkie like him probably IVs.

Yeah drug addicts don't tend to be the most rational of fellows.

Not bleeding. If you do coke your nose will not stop running and if you don't wipe it there'll be white powder running down with it hence his extreme paranoia that they'll see it.

What is the ciggy in front of Ant all about? Tss, what is he a fag or sumfin?

It looks like one of Chip's fake cigarettes.

His face is opening up like a sarlacc pit monster.

This can't be real...snort.

My nose got sore watching how much Artie rubs his

Well......When you put it like that.

Artie was a good looking guy on early Stern

Dont do fawking heroin

Jesus Christ Artie. He actually looks human here.

He refuses to look at Ant or anybody in the eyes. This should not have a video element anymore

Like a doll's eyes.

EVERYONE slows down for a car crash

Holy shit, that is bad. I know Artie is a raging junkie, but I thought he would be sober at least to start the new show.

Relying on junkies has never been a good strategy by my estimation

Ok, Peggy.

I hear tell they are unreliable?

I worked with a junkie for about 6 months. Every time he got "clean" it lasted about a day as far as I could tell. Then he'd start using again in a controlled way, and he'd actually be really good to work with when he was slightly fucked up. Except he'd inevitably start using more and more and more until he was a total fucking mess after about 2 weeks. I'm sure this isn't exactly a revelation, just thought I'd share.

You must have the greatest employer ever to take that shit?

Yeah he was insanely patient. It was a construction job, and the guy was a licensed electrician, so somewhat valuable on the crew. Too much of a shitshow to get union jobs, so the boss kept him around for permits.

Boss knew he was a shit show, but for some reason respected the fact that as long as he could keep the ratio of heroin in his system just right, he was actually more efficient than baseline. It's just that he could never walk that line for very long.

The boss was/ is a really good dude. Felt a certain responsibility for the well being of all his employees. Knew the guy was better off working even if he couldnt stay off the junk. Didn't want to see him get worse.

I fully expect the guy to od someday, but so far he's still alive. There have been a few really close calls. I don't work with them anymore but I keep in touch.

And it's good that working with electricity isnt very dangerous

I always knew it was gonna be a long day when I'd pick him up in the early morning, and he'd go from extremely hyperactive to nodding off drooling in the passenger seat.

It always seemed like the more fucked up he was, the more work he pretended to do. He'd never get anything done, so it was like he knew he was too messy to play with electricity. He'd just zip around looking busy, and disappear for 45 minute stretches.

Be a real man and fucking shoot heroin Artie

What will Antwan say when this experiment fails All the money sunk into bringing Artie in .. Who will Antwan blame ?

Blacks ? , The Libs , Muslims ? , Bobo ??

You know that it's always The Blacks

They probably sold artie the drugs

Big A is clearly being set up to take the fall.

He's gonna be dead soon

To next week? 50/50.

Makes me think of a story from the original SNL when John Belushi was so fucked up before a show that a doctor gave him a 50/50 chance of surviving and Lorne Michaels said "I'll take those odds!" and put him on.

I can hear Jimmy now:

"You know man, drug addiction is tough for anyone, but it was especially tough for Artie..."

I'm sooo fuckin lucky I got sober when I did dude, cause I would just be a mess

Heroins a real motherfucked man

TBF, he only needs to make it to the point where Ant gets a 1 or 2 day a week deal from Sirius.

Great compilation. I applaud your autism (but not too loudly because I don't want you to start spazzing out on me).

He looks great...

I didn't really get why you posted this, but on another note I noticed that Artie touches his nose quite a lot in this video. What strange behaviour.

thats what you do when you snort cocain a lot

You answered your own question

THATS THE BIIIIIIT

Artie is 11 years younger than Vos.

oh shit he really is

Wow, I assumed he was Anthony's age.

Vos is only 4 years older than Anthony.

Vos is older than Ant? Wow.

Sad to see Artie like this, but Ant with the jitters is hilarious.

Vos, next time, try doing your cool, subtle signaling to the person whose nose is what you're signaling about.

Why signal to Ant? You need verification of your perception of reality that you're actually seeing a nose bleed like it's a ghost or alien spacecraft?

Will Artie make it?

Well, of course not. Everybody but Ant and Keef knows that.

Artie will be gone from the show by March...
I garumtee it

March? If he makes it to Christmas I'll be stunned

Tss Artie...wat is he abuncha paintings or sumthin?

This show fucking blows, its just fucking referential material for fucking hours. Nothing that happened recently and just barks back to decades in the past. For fucks sake if I hear Ant say "Its a very difficult situation" one more time I'll lose it. It wasn't even funny the first time. It wouldn't even be that fucking bad if he did it like once a week or once a fucking month but EVERY GODDAMN TIME HE IS HOSTING HE MUST FUCKING DO THIS.

Fucking hell someone should compile a audiotrack of every intense Ant has ever uttered that phrase and just keep calling the studio with it pressed up against the phone until he fucking gets the message that no one cares about the sopranos anymore.

It's blows big fat lines.

At least he seems to have forgotten about the Aussie " OI NOI " I used to cringe whenever I heard it, 'cos you know theres 20 more coming in the next 3 minutes....

Personally, I loved that. It was fucking stupid but I laughed everytime. Especially when they were talking about Leonard https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TdtFycZlNg

Sounds like they need someone to steer the tit

all three shows made me laugh. nice try with the hate though. how could you possibly like stern or o& a and not think this shit was funny. i guess you missed when they talked about two broke girls because you probably think that dreck is funny. by the way, i'm sorry that show got cancelled, i'm sure you were devastated

Compoundshills are in full force today.

maybe because it's a good show. enjoy it while it lasts. again, if you didn't find it funny wtf are you doing on this subreddit. you're just being a tool who probably didn't even watch the shows.

You are the only retard that thinks like this. Look at the rest of the thread and notice how you are the only one with this terrible opinion. Hang yourself while you still can dummy.

who gives a fuck what the herd thinks? keep going along with the opie crowd. ant's a funny motherfucker and so is artie. i'm curious what you think is funny since you're obviously a comedic genius. by the way, i've never subscribed to compound media until artie joined and i only got a 1 month subscription because god knows how long artie has left

No one cares about your stupid blog. Make it snappy with the chair and noose.

that's some high level humor. now go back to covino and rich

hes doing an impression of some shit head that was doing an impression of another shit head. the worst part is its his most recent impression.

No, he will not.

No.

Dead man walking

Vos is great in this,.

Artie is actually dead and Anthony is talented at ventriloquism. Remember, his dad called him a fag for playing with puppets

Otto faked his death

Weekend at Ant's

Haha I saw the immediately. Bravo sir

(Parliment inhale) Jee-zus Christ.

tarrytown. i should kill myself for knowing this.

Tareytons? "I'd rather fight than switch" was their ad campaign. Guys and gals with black eyes. It was a different time.

He's not even fucking 50 yet and he looks like utter dogshit.

Your taking the wrong side guy

Anthony is 56.

Beginning to think Artie was hired to make Ant look youthful by comparison for all the young girls.

Artie will be off the show in a month

I actually enjoyed the show and didn't even notice this. I also was on coke.

You do coke and watch compound? You must be a real addict

Nah. Did a line and had it on in background. I didn't plan my day to specifically buy cocaine to watch the Artie and Anthony show. ....fine I'm an addict.

You do coke while watching compound? You must be a real addict

Artie should stop snorting and shoot it which is much more hygienic if you do it right. Be a pro.

I'm beginning to think this Artie character does his fair share of drugs.

That is slightly part of his normal mannerisms

It seems obvious toward the end of the clip that the blow was wearing off and he stepped off to do another rail in the bathroom. I didn't see the show, but I'd guess this was about a 30-45 minute period from beginning (when he was shot out of a cannon) to end (when he walked off).

He looks like death warmed over but without the warmth. Christ, even his clothes are in tatters, I mean I'm a world-class slob but even I'd have tossed that jacket thing years ago. He's on video, you'd think he'd pop a sudafed or something to dry out that pathetic runny nose instead of dabbing at it every two seconds. He won't last a month.

I think the jacket is to hide his sweat soaked shirt

That thing is literally falling apart, it's something you'd wear while changing the oil in your car or cleaning out the basement.

The Sudafed would've potentiated the opiates to where he'd be nodding out on cam.

I don't think his nose was ever bleeding from what I can see. Vos is just "wtf is going on with his nose" in the most obvious way.

I'm thinking it might be time to pack it in.

God bless Rich Vos and his ability to show up for any gig.

What's the actual mechanism that causes heroin to make you look 25 years older than you are, fat, grey haired and shitty?

It's poison

Honestly, I don't think he looks THAT bad. He's 50. If he never did heroin I don't think he'd look much better. Look at Ant ffs. He looks more like a lifetime drug addict than Artie.

people keep sayinghe jsut did a bunch of coke but im a former opiate addict and when im on a bunch of opiates i itch at my nose constantly. so my guess is hes back on dope. shocking revelation huh?

The face he makes at one minute in is the same face I'd make when trying to keep myself from vomiting on opiates.

Well, there's nothing stopping him from doing both. And he is known for doing both, so I think it might be both.

Gotta give it to Vos though. He's being genuinely tactful and appears to be concerned for a mate. God bless that Jew.

As a big Stern fan this fucking depresses me. I admit it, he's annoying now. There's nothing charming about him anymore. He's not loveable, he's a loser. He's one of the quickest guys to ever do radio and now it's become a chore to listen to him talk. I never thought I'd say this but, you suck Artie.

Artie fucking blew it. He had the easiest gig on earth. Show up in the morning, goof around for a few hours, collect a huge paycheck, get easy publicity for stand-up gigs. Everyone bags on Martling for fucking it all up but at least Jackie had real reasons (stupid as they may have been). Artie is just a degenerate who made the mistake of thinking his dopey drug stories and smacked-out lifestyle made for "good comedy". It didn't and now he's trawling rock bottom, doing blow during Anthony Cumia's little-known podcast show and dying on air for the amusement of the hundred remaining people who care.

This is seriously sad. Also it's priced like netflix

Possibly a non-sequitor, but would constantly touching your nose be a by-product of snorting industrial amounts of heroin?

Snort one line of coke and your nose runs like a mf'er. Could be either but if he snorted heroin he wouldn't be wiping his nose THAT much and he'd be wearing sunglasses.

Ant looks more desperate than artie

Artie is so back on the coke and looks like he has that heroin clammy complexion too

Well that was hard to watch.

This is just sad, he's gonna be dead before 2018.

I like to think that Ant watched this video and was like "oh, oh no."

No way Artie makes it now. His best shot was to stop when he had that close call in the hospital a few months ago. He is just maintaining on coke only now so he will coast along until he has mixes it that one fateful night with a ton of heroin.

Tranpa might want to shut the cameras down now that we've reached Artie's biodegradable phase. Give the guy a break. He wasn't even in good enough shape to sit in the chair today.

Given the fact that he can't make it through a two hour show without starting to fiend, I'd say there's a solid chance his "heroin" is at least mixed with fentanyl, or fent entirely. I can't imagine what his tolerance must be like at this point, especially since he doesn't seem to be on the needle yet.

Holy shit that gave me anxiety

It's like watching 40 year old Brett Favre throw to 40 year old Jerry Rice.

Is anyone gonna have links to the full shows??

Cumia in short time is going to find out why DiPaolo and McDonald distanced themselves..

jesus...he's going to die during the show

That was downright painful to see. I was worried about my own health watching it. Bless Vos' little heart and doll hands.

This video is simultaneously the most disturbing & entertaining thing I've seen in awhile. These edited clips should be its own show on Adult Swim, I'd watch it even though I refuse to watch the actual Artie & Anthony show, too sad. I can't believe how visibley fucked up Artie is.

Kind of makes me think about the time Giraldo was on O&A fucked up, and Patrice realized it and started speaking to him with genuine concern out of friendship, but not condescending to him it all. Patrice knew how to handle these awkward moments so well.

This is the worst Tim and Eric sketch ever.

I Love Arthur lots . But when he laughs nowadays he is IDENTICAL to a 65year old Henry Hill .

Artie wipes boogers and blood onto the tissue then uses the tissue for his eyes. Wtf

I do a decent amount of coke and never do the whole 'wipe under the nose' thing. Always thought it was movie BS

This is brilliant also btw

This explains that slapdick logo and intro. Why spend a fortune on it when it's going to be obsolete in the near future.

He'll probably die of an overdose on October 11th.

Wow, the video has "mysteriously" disappeared, anyone have a link?

He probably bought that shirt at a Bloomingdales for $200

March? If he makes it to Christmas I'll be stunned

So his theory is to fill the dinghy with cement.

"Fuck it. Fuck em all."

*tony montana voice with scarface reference *

That's... that's all I had.
