There's no way germ freak Howard doesn't have that place like steam cleaned twice a week, I'm sure it's fine.

And no, you certainly can't be sure that Beth is going crazy cat lady as a replacement for not having children but it sure looks like a textbook case. People use pets as human substitutes all the time. Widowers might adopt something to keep them company, a couple that's miscarried might adopt as a baby substitute (especially a puppy or kitten, something they can rear). Beth diving headfirst into fostering cats as a replacement for coming to terms with children not being a part of her life isn't a stretch at all. It doesn't mean that's necessarily the case but it does make sense. Usually people that are that mothering are well, mothers, unless they're in a circumstance that doesn't allow them to do so. I mean that's what this is, too, it's not just a simple adoption or two because she loves cats this is full on hardcore fostering. That woman has a lot of love and attention to give and she needed someone or something to direct all that towards.

I know it's popular to hate Beth but is it really hoarding if you've got actual mansions? I mean they could have an actual zoo and still have room for the bowling alley and swimming pools at their homes, so is it really that big of a deal?

Agreed, "hoarding" is when you have insufficient space and/or money to properly care for the animals.

If I had multiple mansions, I'd have 1 dog and 2-4 cats at each place, along with a staff to care for them.

Also, the Beth and her highschool principal story. She is a loon.

No, she isn't a loon, she is just completely oblivious to the utterly charmed life that she has led. Stern makes the same point whenever he brings up that story.

Hell, Howard has tried to explain his fascination with that story to her, and she totally doesn't get it.

Or the beanie he wears at the beach because he's insecure about his hair.

Lifts are funny because they serve exactly one purpose. Heels exist for more than making a woman taller.

I'd laugh at someone wearing lifts just like I would someone stuffing a sock in their pants. Men's vanity is funny. Ronnie dying his beard is another example.

Yes but they accomplish a variety of things that make women look more attractive beyond "make them tall". They make their legs look nicer, they make their rear end look nicer, they compliment an outfit. Like those are all reasons I like a girl wearing heels, I actually hate the fact they make them taller because I like short, fun-sized girls.

That's all beside the point. He looks retarded wearing them like that. If he had on pants you'd be less likely to notice but they stick out so bad because he has on shorts and they're obviously cheap lifts. It looks like he took 2 pairs of shoes, cut a pair in half with a table saw and glued them to the bottom of the other pair. Also he's wearing summer clothes at the beach and can't be without a hat because he can't come to grips with his hair or lack thereof.

Argue whatever, he looks hilariously insecure in that picture and that's funny to me. It speaks to why he did all that wacky bullshit when he was with her like wearing the wigs and putting on makeup because he was so insecure about his ability to keep her as a girlfriend he basically did whatever she wanted. Howard was dead on about all that stuff. Look, if you want to throw on a hat and lifts to try and win a girl over then whatever but by the time you've been dating for awhile you should be able to drop the bullshit and let her accept you for what you are in reality and he couldn't stomach doing that.

You're dead on about the lifts: they seriously look glued on from other pairs of shoes. You can even see the loving seam where someone glued them onto normal shoes. Also, how tall are they? I want to say maybe five inches, but I'm trying to see them in comparison with the heels but with the angle it makes it slightly difficult.

I'd guess closer to 3 inches. It's far too much, even for lifts. Most well done lifts you see (like what Tom Cruise has been spotted in) are about half that, usually just an extra inch or so. You usually don't see sneaker lifts, they're usually put on boots or wing tips where you've got a pant leg obscuring it better and because those shoes naturally have a little lift in the design anyway so squeezing in a bit more is easier to do.

I watch a lot of Japanese variety TV and you can spot the sneaker lifts there as sneakers are more fashionable there and worn more often on TV even by entertainers but that's like a nation of people with insecurities about their height so that's a whole other thing.

Every time Benjy makes the tongue-click noise in that video, I want to throttle him. Even Wikipedia thinks he's being a douche:

The ǃKung, also spelled ǃXun, are a San people living in the Kalahari Desert in Namibia, Botswana and in Angola.[1] They speak the !Kung language, noted for its extensive use of click consonants. The "!K" in the name "ǃKung" is a click that sounds something like a cork pulled from a bottle. However, the click is generally ignored in English, where the name is pronounced "Kung".
