im back, its a very long artie love hate story , when artie first came to the show i loved his humor,and finally got to see him 2 years later at the stress factory, drinking jack daniels, and rude and crude , and i was dissappointed , i guess i thought he was this happy go lucky guy, and he looked like a sad sack clown, well i gave him the benefit of the doubt and continued to support him, but as i listened i got more and more turned off to him, so he called me cunt and i got to roast him, it was a blast, i know im not a comedian, just a fan of the show and it was just fun being included, more time passes and when i find artie was on herione, i felt terrible and wrote him a note, i said to myself, i a fan of the show and he needs our support, well after many moments and words, i know im just a fan and like to chime in because of my passion of the show,this is where i am now, with arties rants everyday, the radio that made me laugh every second, makes me sad, because of the way artie treats all. , so that was my reason for yesterdays call.what you dont know about me is that i live a very simple quiet life and grew up listening to the radio in my grandmothers kithcen john b gambling at seven , so i loved listening to the radio, just the radio and me, i have a good life and a wonderful family, im not a hanger- oner, im a fan of the show, i dont think i am anybody special because i call in, but i admit i love to call howard, its an honor, privelage and a pleasure, so this is me, love me or hate me , i respect you..take care mariann
