Is there a divorce saga or something like that online? Like a compilation of Howard talking about his marital troubles or whatever... Or was this the first that it came up on the show?

Nope. they pretty much dropped it after that first show. The "Howard is dating" era was a very hush hush one on the show. Even Ralph is very careful how he talks about that time.

For about a year before the divorce announcement, Howard would occasionally go off on incredibly bitter screaming rants about how men and women weren't meant to live together. In retrospect, it's obvious what was going on, but at the time I just thought he was trying to outdo his previous comments on the subject.

No clue if there's a compilation, though. :shrug:

Ok, so I finished Artie's book, it's a good one if not for all the gaps that get filled in that we previously never knew about. I have no idea how Artie is still alive. I am also in no way convinced that he's fully recovered.

There is one excerpt from the book that merits speculation. It's this one, particularly trying to figure out who the two people are that the general public would know.

quote:

In the end they lost, because with the help of the ninety-nine percent who were good to me, I made it. I’m back, I’m not going anywhere, and my hatred for that one percent runs deep— very, very deep. As a matter of fact, if it were legal I’d have them killed. Don’t worry, I’m not going back to the joint for one of those dirtbags, but if I were sure I could get away with it? Yeah, I’d make a phone call or two and rid the world of those scum-fucks forever. However, that is not the case. I know for sure there’s no way to get away with it, so this is the last I’ll speak of it because I’m not going to do anything to get in trouble— I’ve had my fill of it.

This is all I will say here: what they did was serious and devious. The kind of things that trigger the level of anger that gives you the chills— and they did them to me at my very lowest point. They know who they are. They range from being very wealthy and successful, to flat-out broke drifters, and at least two of them have names that you, the general public, would recognize. It sounds so childish, but one of my biggest incentives for staying clean and in showbiz now is to prove them wrong and stick it in their smug, giggling asses. To that one percent who screwed me over, when you get a chance, do the world and me a favor and go gently caress yourselves.

I was just thinking about how they've been censoring old shows, and I thought of another area that they are probably actively whitewashing: anti-Asian sentiment. In particular, the awful clips that Fred would play behind people who called in with Asian accents.

Fred used to play "Turkey in the Straw" behind black people (I loved it when Branford Marsalis called him out on that -- he really should have been a guest more often) and chickens clucking behind people with Spanish/Mexican accents.

Just because Artie wrote something in a book doesn't mean it's true. I think it would be very possible for somebody on the Stern show to be on his enemies list.

Partly because I don't know of any other famous people that might be involved with Artie's life. (I sure hope it's not Norm.)

I don't think its anyone on the show. He basically sucks Howard's dick throughout the book. I doubt it's Robin because he said she was the one who was in the hospital room visiting when he woke up after the surgery and he specifically mentions that these people did what they did at his darkest hour which was then. Fred isn't really in the public eye, and frankly, what could Fred have done to piss him off like that? Gary, maybe, but I lean towards doubting it based on various mentions of him throughout the book. No one else on the show is really known to the public.

As right as he was, Dr. Drew was also pressuring him to get onto Celebrity Rehab 3 or whatever number it was going to be so that Artie's serious problems could be put further on display for the public to gawk at. If I remember right this wasn't around Artie's "I did heroin to get through filming a movie, sorry ma, I'm better now" phase, it was around the "Quit robbin my money, Teddy!" phase.

It was exploitation of a guy who was in probably the darkest place he had ever been in life and somebody should beat Dr Drew up with a chair for saying "hey Artie, come film this TV show for VH1, I care about you and want you to get rehab which is why I'm offering to help as long as we can film you 24 hours a day". He's a loving scumbag.

All we know is... he's called The Stig.
I didn't realize how bad he was in Paris last year. Not only taking a swing at a cop and spending the night in jail, but he was also laying down in traffic at night trying to get hit by cars. :psyduck: Destroying a hotel room and his rage being so bad that his girlfriend has to hide in a different hotel. How the gently caress did he get her to agree to marry him.

I just finished it too, and yeah, I would definitely say he's not recovered, especially since he was nodding off on that one podcast as recently as July. It was interesting that in the suicide attempt chapter, he was still going with the "I stabbed myself to get high" story, yet at the end there's a chapter that says "I made that story up, I couldn't admit to myself that I wanted to die and it was a suicide attempt." yet two weeks ago when he was doing press for the book, he stuck with the "I thought losing blood would make me floaty and drinking bleach would get me drunk." Dude is definitely still tossing lies around.

Him snorting heroin for hours before the show in 2008 is really no surprise, but for whatever reason I was more disturbed with the late 2009 drug use, where he was too paranoid to buy heroin so he was just snorting painkillers and mixing medications (like over-the-counter sleep aides) and also drinking Smirnoff Ice out of cups during work.

They were broken up for a while I think. He doesn't get into how they got back together. My guess is he just threw a Mercedes or Cartier ring at her


quote:

Lots of Teddy parts. There are multiple passages where he says he's a good kid but then goes on for pages about how much of a fuckup he was at the same time.

The way I read it was that at the time he thought he was doing it to get high or just get to sleep, but after a while came to the realization that he was in fact, suicidal.

What makes me suspicious about his "honesty" was that every time he'd claim he's been sober since the suicide attempt he puts in parentheses "outside of a few minor screw-ups" but then only goes on to talk about one of them, the Paris incident.

More evidence towards Robin no longer being in the studio: I was listening to last week's shows and I noticed when they were playing the tapes of them asking people who was the most attractive, and Howard was complaining about the pictures they used, Howard said to Robin, "You should see these pictures, Robin. If you saw them, you'd know what I was talking about."

I'm almost 100% sure it was 2000's "Painting o' the Green", which is entirely coincidental with when Howard began dating Beth. The timing matches up with his post-separation trip to the Bahamas, into nailing Robin Givens and that red-headed model from Bordello of Blood, the painting bit, and then into when he began dating Beth.


He groped a chick who came in 2003 who claimed to have the best real breasts ever. Howard and crew hosed with her and were like "those are fake" so she said anyone could touch them to prove they were real. So Howard and literally everyone on staff (except KC, lol) came in and groped her. It was really funny, he even had dudes on the sales team come in and grab her tits. I think it ended up being like 20 guys by the end of the bit.
