Jan 21's Bloody Pit Of Horror MLK Artie Lang Show Official Listening Viewing Thread

[mpa]

Nepotism boy was much better as a host than as a guest. It was also good to get Arthur talking about movies and what not, just like the test show where they did an hour on Casey Anthony. The co-host needs to be Robin Quivers but without being such a cunt all the time: feed some stories, ask questions to get a story out of the host, flavor the topic with some commentary, etc. Nepotism boy was good at asking artie's opinions every segment. He should certainly be brought back again to see if it works.

Yeah, I'd give that guy another go. I didn't like him at first, but he did help move it towards the entertainment stuff that Artie's really funny with.
Mannix is OK, but doesn't shut his yap enough. Not sure that he totally understands the role.
The churchie I can take or leave. It goes along fine with him until his creepy/dorky private life comes into it.

I know they kinda need a straight guy just asking Artie questions, but I can't help wondering what it would be like with Norton or Quinn.

Gwar was a pleasant surprise. I remember getting their first LP (Hell-O) when it came out and getting a kick out of their silly schtick. It was a low budget recording and they said they'd recorded it over the phone.
Oderus is OK on twitter too.
Glad to see they're still going, but didn't one of them commit suicide a few years back?

I think Artie has had good chemistry with the different people rotating in and maybe it'd be good if they kept it that way. Having someone to bounce sports and entertainment off of helps Artie. They do seem to book the same guests pretty often though, which is kind of a pothole, however I don't mind it when it's comedians. He's said it a bunch of times but I think it's really cool to have the show be a comic hang where people just show up. I know a lot of people get sick of Brian Jones but having him just drop by and hang out for a while is cool to me. Same with Levy and Norton and Quinn and people like that.

Yeah, I don't like it when "outsiders" take shots at Mike. I don't like it when Artie does it either, but it's especially distasteful when it comes from someone like him.

They should keep rotating guest hosts. I'm actually liking not minding the Extra dude from Wednesday night because there's some more entertainment talk, and I think Artie excels at that.

I'm resigned to the fact that whoever they settle on won't be good; I just hope he/she won't be that bad, that they'll know their place, and not get too comfortable/arrogant in the gig.

I noticed that about that faggot taking a shot at bochetti as well, realy made me feel angry. I dont think he meant it in a joking manner either, I think his pampered silver spoon brought up ass thinks he's above Mike and that hes some kind of big shot. You can tell by the smug look on his face. I dont think hes gonna be around permanently at all since he was sort of acting like Nick. Artie started telling a drug story (which I admit can get old) and he goes "ugh another DRUG STORY!" and I could tell artie didnt care for it. But yeah he and that other Ben lyons douche need to keep their mouths shut when it comes to bochetti, mikes more entertaining than either of them.
