My current wacky theory:

I think I've settled on "Howard is a cuckold, and that's okay with him". Even before his second wife, Howard used to talk about how he'd love to take some hot stripper out with him and have all the other guys looking at her wanting to have sex with her. He's still talked about loving it when other guys are hot for his wife. He loves to tell stories about how masseurs/masseuses can't help themselves and practically molest Beth when they get the chance. The story about John Stamos and Rebecca Romjin has changed almost every time it's been told, and it's gotten close to admitting to wife-swapping a couple of times. Howard is obsessed with "beer can cocks"; he's always asking the guests about that kind of thing. I bet Howard really likes to have Beth go out and have sex with other guys, and then tell him about it.

The "fight" they had was just a bit for the air; Howard was trying to create drama and act like he doesn't want Beth sleeping around on him. (Not that there's anything wrong with that; couples can have all kinds of "weird" setups and be perfectly happy with them. I'm just annoyed that he seems to be trying to pretend it's something else.)

If he had just given her a baby she wouldn't be spending 12 hours a day working on ridiculous projects like "Mom Caves" in the first place. He also could have probably stopped her at one cat.

Open relationships are pretty hard to manage. There no way in Hell Stern could participate in one as he's not mature enough.

He's such a germophobe too. He won't shake hands with anyone, you think he's going want to touch his wife after she's been with another guy?

Howard's problem is admitting things to himself and thinking that if he ignores an issue long enough, it will go away.

"Is Artie a junkie? Oh I don't know, he says he isn't that's good enough for me! The rest of you should lay off him. "

"Some fan said my show sucks. I don't know, Tim Sabian, Mutt and Bobo think it's good so I guess the fans are just stupid."

"My wife spends 14 hours a day with a guy that she thinks is hot. She says I don't have anything to worry about so I won't."

If she had a Baby we would just add "Baby Caves" to the list of projects. Also a book on how to raise your kid which she writes as the Nanny tends to the child 18 hours a day.

What if Howard doesn't actually have sex with her? Maybe he just has her tell him dirty stories. Or maybe this is why he keeps his condoms locked up.

Yeah but he has a girlfriend and she's married, they could never gently caress.

Okay, just listened to this again with a fresh perspective, Howard sounded legitimately pissed off and Beth was on a guilty defensive. Howard uses his show as a weapon, and he used it against beth... which is pretty telling.

loving him or not, Beth cares about this guy or the "Mom Cave" project more than she does about Howard.

She starts by basically asking Howard not to make this into anything because then it would cause tension with the guy.

Also Beth isn't the type of person who hears the word NO often she her defense is to revert to a child and grumble until she gets her way.

It's very telling when KOAB goes on the offense against Beth and Howard is literally dead silent. Howard wanted KOAB to attack her because he, an extremely passive aggressive person, won't (can't) do it himself. Howard only spoke out against KOAB's attack, and very timidly and insincerely, after Beth had already hung up and others in the studio, namely Gary, were complaining about it.

Beth got accused of taking a picture that was "too intimate" and she gets stampy, deletes the photo and refuses to call back in. Wouldnt a rational response be for her to say "What? Its just a picture...I'm not cheating, you're being stupid!"

I was married for two years and my wife did this. She never, ever could just concede that she was solidly in the wrong, ever. Even if she did apologize for something it was a yell of "OK FINE I'M SORRY *sobs running away*"

If they divorce I will go right back out that same day and buy a whole new radio. Its about the only thing that could bring me back into an Artie-less show.

Dad's got his man cave, the kids have their playroom — even the dog has a kennel! But what about Mom? It's time she had a space of her own, and don't even think about the kitchen! She wants a mom cave. We'll design and build the ultimate space for Mom, a place where she can kick back and relax with her friends or family and do what she likes to do best. Mom Caves is hosted by designer Matt Muenster and Beth Stern, who has firsthand knowledge in this area as the proud owner of two mom caves: one in New York and a two-story version in her new home in the Hamptons. Both of Beth's mom caves are dressing rooms where she chills out with friends and gets ready for big nights out, and they're off-limits to her shock jock husband, Howard. Mom Caves will incorporate great cutting-edge design with the fun and glamour of Beth's world as we celebrate the women in our lives.

Beth isn't a mother. Any of us is closer to Howard's kids at this point.

I'm no feminist but this screams stereotype. First off, it's a MOM cave. Not a "She Cave" or "Woman Cave". Like if your a woman and are not a Mom, you're worthless and don't count.

Beth's cave is nothing but a room to play dress up and drink white wine before going out. Let's not mention that some women actually like to read, write, watch movies/sports, play Xbox, meditate, cook and a million other things.

She doesn't own poo poo and if Howard's money paid for every single "cave" she owns. She might as well hang up a "NO BOYZ ALLOWED" sign because this sounds like something out a 13 year old girl's dream.

No hyperbole here but that makes her sound like a legit crazy person. That behavior would be acceptable from a 4 year old girl, but a 30something year old adult??? What the hell. Up until this point I was one of the very few Beth neutral people in these threads but god drat.

Hahha, are they really playing her off as a "mom" because of her cats? This is crazy. I thought she would just be like a fashion/eye candy thing, not a, "surprise I'm an expert in this topic now" type.

First a book about training dogs, now a show about raising kids. After the divorce I expect her to write a book on Marriage.

I still like Beth, she seems like a nice, but simple person and she is smoking hot. Anyone that relates to animals that much is usually emotionally damaged to humans anyway and she probably suffers from princess syndrome, meaning she never had to correct her ways because she is so dang pretty and lives with a king in a castle and spends all day putting on dresses and playing with things. Can't fault her for not growing up.

I still haven't gotten to this damnable (actually interesting sounding) Beth segment, I'm still plodding through the first 90 minutes of Wednesday's show. Some thoughts:

Howard and Robin watch an amazingly ridiculous amount of TV. Robin's seen every series that's ever been on TV in the last 10 years. Howard can't figure out the deeply complex situation on The Zombie Show. Do they turn into zombies when they have a birthday? Or is it invite only? Or is it when they get bitten by a zombie like every loving zombie show ever in the history of zombies? Who knows!!

Yeah, that's true. I don't disbelieve she's seen the shows she says she watches, I'm just amazed that these two do nothing more exciting with their lives than what the average Joe does - I guess Howard did say he has the same life as ETM aside from having fancier sushi for dinner.
