Artie Lange quitting the Stern show after a fistfight?

[Trancendental]

Haven't listened to Stern since he left free radio, but this was kinda shocking:

It starts with Lange in relative good spirits ... griping about his assistant, Teddy, who has failed him in several minor ways, such as leaving photocopies of his passport in the garbage and referring to Bloomingdale's as "Bloomies," as well as in some major infractions, such as continually borrowing money. Lange, however, with the aid of some expert prodding from Stern, unravels into a howling, homophobic lunatic until Robin is screaming, “There were seven people who couldn’t hold Artie back!”
In the interim, assistant Teddy is screamed at, fired, and has stuff thrown at him.

Artie is the new Naomi Campbell...waiting for him to spit on airport security.

Artie is completely in the right and Howard basically and implicitly flamebaited Artie.

He still went to Amsterdam so i doubt he is gone.... he is just trying to blame other ppl for his enormous problems. Was funny and awkward.
