So, I guess ONLY YOU can judge who gets a disease and who doesn't........... Man, I hope you don't get a nosebleed sitting so high on that ivory tower.
In case you didn't know it, Artie is a F*ck Up. Which is actually a part of his charm.
But, imho, when you make a good living being a comedian, land a gig on the Stern show, and get to talk about the bets you made for a living, that sounds pretty sweet to me.
Then, you get whacked out, take a 13-inch knife, and try to kill yourself by stabbing yourself to death, only to have YOUR MOM find you, a bloody mess on the floor, and get the boot from Stern.
Well, I think you could say he's a FUp.........
Now, you can call it a problem, or even a disease. But in terms of diseases, booze or drugs would seem to be a good choice. You know, as opposed to say, cancer. And for a disease, they are one of the few you actually get to pick up on the way home after work, or just want to Party like an Artie on the weekend. But, like all diseases, there is a price to pay at the end. Some sink to their bottom, others sink to around six feet below the surface.
But, if you don't know how to control yourself, whacked or sober, you deserve whatever you get.
Maybe you need a timeout, Junior. Try to quit acting like a Little B*tch, okay, and talk betting on sports. And if Artie Fs up, and gets called on it, try and remember what you're trying to defend.
