We got a new roomie. We met Kevin. Come on. Is that Kevin? That was his name. He's just going to fail to save the universe. Oh, so that was Steve. Stewart. Stewart. Sorry. We got it. I see, we just watched three names. We got it. We just watched more minions recently on this channel. So I said,

Starting point is 00:02:19 I got Kevin on the brain. But yeah, we met Stewart. It's a momentous occasion. Yeah, the Hofstadter isotope, the Dead Hooker juxtaposition, the work song nanocluster, the Terminator decoupling. And the cushions. saturation. Yeah, this was a fun block. We got some quirky situations. I guess Howard and Leslie are just, I guess that's done now maybe, I don't know. They reference it

Starting point is 00:02:43 in the following episode, but they have not referenced it since. I don't know what their deal is exactly. Can't tell, don't know. And yeah, roomy upstairs causing friction. Penny starting a business. Who knows which of these threads are going to come back around, but, you know, they got the stride. You know,

Starting point is 00:02:58 like the cast is casting and they're continuing to play well off each other some delightfully this was a good one for like Sheldonisms where he's not like overbearing I thought we got less overbearing Sheldons even despite his quirks It was more funny Sheldon overbearing Yeah yeah and we got a low key Wallowitz

Starting point is 00:03:19 We did We barely had to even consider locking him up this week Yeah I mean he was a little weird but you know He didn't get any jail time so Yeah and poor summer glow just showed to be a prop. Yeah. He made it...

Starting point is 00:03:33 Yeah. I mean, he made us uncomfortable, but, you know, she... I'm happy she was here. And, uh, yeah, good on her for showing up. And was this show on at the same time? Do we know? Uh, as, as the Sarah Connor... Chronic...

Starting point is 00:03:49 Oh, no. It's hard to type from... Craw. There we go. Sarah Connor Chronicles was 2008. So, yeah, dang. So they were doing like a real crosser. over crossy-poo.

Starting point is 00:04:02 Dang, they really wanted that cross-promo. Yeah, I mean. Yeah, did you have a favorite of the block? Ooh, that's a good question. I don't know. Oh, that's a good question. I don't know. I'm not sure.

Starting point is 00:04:21 Maybe the one with the barrettes. I'm not sure. The barrettes is pretty fun because we've got to have all of them at the same time. Yeah, that's true. It's working together. I really like the first episode. with Leslie and him getting a little, not taste of his own medicine,

Starting point is 00:04:35 but him being objectified for someone else's means. And hopefully, you know, that's the slow beginning of his arc. Oh, dang, smooth 80. George, Schmoot's a real guy. Okay. So, yeah, he must have really actually, really told them that joke as stipulated in the to end card. So that's fun.

Starting point is 00:04:55 But that was a funny conversation about, yeah, they're like weird arrangement of like, well, if you're not going to come to his wedding with me, you're not going to get to come to look at the Hadron Collider. So, yeah, it's good to see Howard. I mean, you know, not that, you know, you should use people. But Howard, you know, he's on a journey, I gather, and it's good to get him a taste of the medicine.

Starting point is 00:05:15 Maybe we want to take a train ride, you know? I'm never taking, like, a long train ride. Really? Oh, I took the train to San Diego. It's really fun. Yeah, I would love to. Yeah, see, that sounds like a great time. I would love to do that.

Starting point is 00:05:26 Yeah, a friend trip to San Diego, get a little with some drinks, some games going. good conversations absolutely i've never seen battle star i saw commercials for it all the time growing up but i never seen battle star so yeah same so yeah one of those nerdy properties i never really got the chance to get into like star trek for me and and battle star and stargate stargate stargate i think i saw an animated stargate but because there was one of those uh one of those spinoff shows but never the true proper stargate or the movie the movie is pretty sick really that was a movie where everyone's like john you love stargate And I was like, I didn't see Stargate. And then they did it.

Starting point is 00:05:59 Somebody covered it here. And then I wound up seeing it the first time. Someone covered the movie on the channel? I think so. A little while ago. Maybe it was like Coy and Andrew or something like that. Okay. That makes sense.

Starting point is 00:06:08 But yeah, I wound up seeing it eventually. And it is a rad movie. So I would be curious to see the show, Stargate. And I think they're rebooting Stargate again, Roland Emmerich is. Hey, run it back. And yeah, we got Stewart. We spent some time in the comic book shop. That was fun.

Starting point is 00:06:22 You know, it's fun to see all the different comic covers and try to pick stuff out. Yeah. It is a funny thing to get this intro for this guy. I'm not super into, I'm not into science, but I don't know a lot about science, but I know a lot about comics. It was funny seeing this show's take on a comic book nerd, which it's episodes like this.

Starting point is 00:06:44 Roy is rolling in his grave now. He's fuming and I get it. And it's funny too because one of his favorite shops in the world is frequently referenced here. they have a house of secrets comic book shop you know a poster up in Sheldon's room

Starting point is 00:06:59 so they get they get checked and that's a real store so like props for at least you know planting that seed in people's minds but also yes not the not the most flat every comic book store

Starting point is 00:07:10 I've been into like yeah you see your quintessential nerds you also see Normies in the comic book store literally all the time because a lot of kinds of people read comics thank you yes

Starting point is 00:07:19 multiple times of people not just the guy who has the sweats tucked in have you tucked in your to your sweats every day every day i'm tucking in every day i'm tucking in that's what i'm talking about we're tuck it in baby oh man so i will say as far as that episode go that that stuff annoyed me a little bit but stewart himself was quite lovely yeah he was like a relatively normal guy and he was just kind of like uh more oblivious in an innocent way which i really dug I thought it was very endearing.

Starting point is 00:07:54 Yeah, I like that a lot. And, you know, he and Sheldon, they're having a big debate. You know, I was like Jason Todd is an interesting pool because I feel like Jason Todd is often, and I'm not the expert necessarily, but from my exposure, I feel like Jason Todd is like the least available and exists under the most specific circumstances to like definitively take over the mantle of Batman. When did Dick Grayson? Jason become.

Starting point is 00:08:22 Batman. Oh. I spelled that wrong. It's okay. It's harder to type at a weird angle when like people are watching. Okay. That same year. Dang.

Starting point is 00:08:31 So they were like talking about something that yeah, like was about to happen maybe. Was this like a, uh, uh, a couple of what happened a couple months later. Okay. Battle of the Cow. And because this takes this episode shot in April. This happened in June. Wow. And then obviously they taped it probably months before that.

Starting point is 00:08:46 So that's hilarious. Sure. This came, uh, came to be. And then Damien's the new Robin. Okay. Yeah, I remember those books. I wonder, because I don't know, like it seems like some of their just interactions with DC and stuff are, I don't know, like the whole Sarah Connor Chronicles thing and then this. I'm like, did you really, were you like trying to participate in pop culture, like as it was happening with like, yeah, shows and comics as they were dropping in real time.

Starting point is 00:09:13 Like, that's kind of crazy. Yeah. Yeah. Not raw bun. Rob bun. And that's the bakery he runs. Get you a fresh hot raw bun at the oven. Raw bun.

Starting point is 00:09:22 Yeah, this is the classic fiction associate. Cool. Very, very cool. Very cool. Dude, after the apparent death of Bruce Wayne, Bruce Wayne, way, Bruce Way. Bruce Whigdy Wayne. Dude, and then Joe Chill, they put him back. They put them back into the universe after crisis.

Starting point is 00:09:39 And then she didn't buy Spider-Man for him at all. She got Hell Blazer, which is like rad. Yeah. That's like a killer choice for your little nephew or whatever. Oh, yeah. That's definitely going to impact him in a great way. I hope you've seen the Constantine movie as well. Yeah, more comic book store, more Stewart.

Starting point is 00:09:56 Yes, I want both of those things. And I think it'd be good for us. I do too. Okay. And hopefully, I don't know if we're ever going to see that lady upstairs again, but, you know, she's, uh, she wasn't too nice about our boys. She wasn't nice. He didn't treat us well.

Starting point is 00:10:12 She didn't care about us. No, but, you know, the penny was there. Penny stood up for our dudes. Penny fought for us. Yeah. That's why we stand Penny. Only one lady is allowed to. mildly exploit these men and their, you know, obliviousness to normal social norms.

Starting point is 00:10:28 Damn straight. Penny is the one. Yeah. And I'm happy that. Penny is Jetley the one. Penny is Jetley's the one. Dude, that's a good movie. I need to watch it.

Starting point is 00:10:40 Dude, I don't know if it's actually good, but we did love it back in the day. Is it? No, that's not it. One more. One more. One more. Come on. You're so money, baby.

Starting point is 00:10:50 You're so money. Oh, there we go. There you go. There you go. That's a big bang for you. Okay. So we got some questions. Looks like some thickies here.

Starting point is 00:10:58 I'm not super thick. We got like five questions. So, all right, without further ado, let's jump into it. All right. One, Stephanie Horton. Stephanie. Gotta love the celebrity crush trope. If either of you were to coach the guys on how to approach Summerglow on the train,

Starting point is 00:11:16 what would you encourage one of them to say and do? Do you think Leonard had a chance? And have you ever had an IRL opportunity to meet and possibly put a move on a celebrity crush? I would suggest the pickup line. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Oh, it's cooking. Okay, so you want to use a pickup line. What about, how about this?

Starting point is 00:11:44 Did it, if I told you that I was, uh, let, was, uh, let, would let you and hold on and what do you got? Hope you say it just like that too I'm like I don't know what I would tell these guys

Starting point is 00:12:00 I'm trying to come with a joke She would She would find that really endearing That's like oh he's trying So tongue tied Yeah I would say Okay so we're gonna encourage Each one of them to say and do

Starting point is 00:12:14 First off do I think Leonard had a chance It was right there You know she seemed at least open I think at that point She was probably so over it That maybe no But who knows They would have

Starting point is 00:12:26 I think this is I think they might have had a nice chat I believe I think they might have had a nice chat I would say Hey babe If I told you That I see you in my future

Starting point is 00:12:38 Would you judgment day me Or something Nah see I think The key is If I was to really suggest something I would say that like Well yeah Terminator of course She's probably getting recognized all over for that.

Starting point is 00:12:51 Look up her IMDB page and then find some smaller, more, you know, arts, artful role that she's probably not used to being asked about. And then, you know, the problem is then, you know, if you don't have that much experience with it, that's a slippery slope. But I feel like going for the Terminator angle is what everyone's going to do. Of course. You know, I don't know. I might even suggest just paying a normal compliment and not even calling attention to her fame. I feel like that's kind of a nicer way to do that, even though, I mean, you're striking up a cold conversation.

Starting point is 00:13:23 So people kind of assume, but. Something I've learned is that people, you know, sure, well, people obviously address the Terminator thing, sure, but I feel like compliments typically hit when they're either A specific or B about somebody's accomplishments or skills. And if you can find a way to do combine those two things, I feel like that would be a very, you know, easy, natural way to do. approach somebody, but also if you were just to treat her like a person, ask her questions, build off of the experience of, you know, having the fact that she's a regular person and you're

Starting point is 00:14:00 just like, oh, how did that make you feel? What was that experience like? Oh, I had an experience like that. And then you're talking, you know, listen to what she's saying, reference it back. That's just how you build any sort of connection, really. Pick her brain about her actual lived experience. Exactly. What brings you to the train today?

Starting point is 00:14:18 Your biggest thing is going to be taking her off that pedestal and just treating her like a person. Yeah. And then then your money, baby. So money. Vegas, baby. So money to change. I feel like Leonard was, he'd been charging that up for two hours. It just came with a lot of energy, especially after what she dealt with with Howard.

Starting point is 00:14:37 So I don't know if that would have been the best approach. But if he was just like put the pressure off of himself and just be like, hey, no matter what happens, I'll be okay. And yeah, just be honest. and earnest kind of how he was, but not with as much, like, anxious energy. Yeah, I think you would have been chill. Absolutely. Have you ever had an IRL opportunity to meet and possibly put a move on a celebrity cry? I feel like that's a tricky one, man.

Starting point is 00:14:59 Putting a move on and sort of like not at the forefront of my mind in that situation because I'm like, what are the odds? They're so astronomically small that this is going to make an impression of any kind. It's funny. I've never put a move on a celebrity, so to speak, but I was at the Comic-Con, like in 2019. and I was like a Comic-Con party and I saw a girl who I thought was kind of attractive

Starting point is 00:15:22 when she saw me and then we locked eyes and walked towards each other and we're like talking and flirting and stuff and then we parted ways and all my friends were looking at me like jaw drops and I was like do you know who that was?

Starting point is 00:15:34 And I was like no that's like oh this voice actress from this one child and I was like oh that's cool and then the next day I had to interview her oh wow did you know that was going to happen?

Starting point is 00:15:46 I didn't I knew I had to do an interview for that show but when I met her I didn't realize she was one of the actresses on that show sure so yeah I feel like in those situations I almost my instinct is to sort of be like I just need to be as normal it's hard because then you're like too focused on being normal but you're like I'm sure my mind goes to I'm sure this person is used to people treating them differently so like I kind of just want to be chill and like use that as like and not use it but like I feel like if any Anything were to happen, you kind of just got to be chill about it. Yeah. And be a person about it as best that you can. That's all you really can be. So, you know, but yeah, if I ever get to put the moves on a celebrity, you all will be the first to know. Yeah, do this move. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:16:32 Put them on her. Put them on her. Always physical moves. Never, I don't have lines. I just got the physical moves. Yeah. Physical moves. Physical moves.

Starting point is 00:16:40 Physical moves. Physical moves. Yeah, you like that. Yeah. I got a VHS tape to teach you. Darren's dance grooves It's John's physical moves John's physical moves

Starting point is 00:16:49 John's physical moves Okay Let's go of the next question Shia Silberstein Hey John and Aaron Hey you Have you ever encountered a celebrity

Starting point is 00:17:01 On public transportation And what do we think Of the introduction of Stuart And how his dynamic Among the group As the comic book owner And about his dynamic Among the group

Starting point is 00:17:11 On public transportation Oh golly That's a good question. Crap. That's a really good question. I've encountered celebrities, you know, in like just normal-ish places. Oh. I saw Ron Jeremy on an airplane.

Starting point is 00:17:33 Oh, really? And at the airport, yeah. I didn't talk to them, but I saw the girl who plays Topanga and the guy who plays Corey's brother because there's, oh, fuck, what's their names? Damn, I'm going to have to search the archives. It's Will something. Boy. I'm going to have to search the archives.

Starting point is 00:17:52 I might have been on like a subway train in some point or, or I don't know. Okay. On a plane is probably the most likely place. On a plane to Ohio, all of all places. I saw Daniel Fisher and Will Frit. How do you say that last name? Friedel, Fridal? I don't know.

Starting point is 00:18:09 Will Friedel. That plays Eric Matthews. Yeah, he does. They do a Boy Meets World podcast. and they were traveling together, and I saw them on a plane, and I was like, oh, my God, it's that. And I got, like, I rarely get stars struck, but I grew up on that show. So I was like, oh, my God, but I didn't actually speak to them.

Starting point is 00:18:22 But we were on the same plane, and that was very cool. Yeah, I'm trying to think if there's anybody else. I mean, we went to Mexico once, and there were, like, other influencers around, but not, like, that level of celebrities necessarily. Yeah. Yeah, if anybody comes else to mine, we'll let you know, but it's Ron Jeremy for me. Hey, from great polls. Yeah, or, I mean, I've seen.

Starting point is 00:18:43 Angeline driving her own car, but that's kind of different. Oh, okay. She's around. She's around town. And, uh, yes, Stuart, uh, Doug, I dug, good first impression. He's like, of all the, like, guest characters and I don't know who else recurs necessarily, but, uh, the most normalist so far. He's my favorite so far.

Starting point is 00:19:00 Yeah. Cause I didn't really care for, um, what's his name? Oh. The guy with the Lisp. Yeah. Cripke. Yeah. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:19:07 Cripke was like, uh, you're doing too much. You're like, it's a little over the top. Yeah. And he's an asshole on top. Yeah, you're kind of a jerk. Yeah, but Stuart, his comic book world, love that. It seems like a good guy. He's a great artist.

Starting point is 00:19:21 He's just, I mean, he took her to an art show where he was put art into. I was like, I feel like out of all the people here, I would probably be friends with store. Yeah, and I mean, like, you know, again, talking about stereotypes of nerds and whatever else, I feel like Stewart, as he exists here, does a nice sort of job of, uh, uh, uh, Uh, yeah, just I don't know. Like, I like the prospect of what this avenue can open up because obviously the comic book element.

Starting point is 00:19:49 And yeah, because he is like, I think as depictions go, he's one of the better ones, at least on this first impression. Yeah. Because, you know, you have a lot of, you have sweat, Captain Sweatpants or whatever they called him, who is like your comic book guy, but it's because comic book guy already exists and because they're already doing a lot of stereotyping. I like that Stewart is not comic book guy. Exactly.

Starting point is 00:20:09 He is seemingly a regular-ish guy who has. strong opinions. Like the way he argues with Shelton, I'm like, I get it, but also do like totally different personalities. And I'm, yeah, I would be happy to see you again. And I would be even happier to do more comic book store centric stuff. Yeah. So.

Starting point is 00:20:26 No, I like that in the argument with Sheldon, Sheldon was trying to, you know, do his Sheldon thing, take it to the umth degree. Yeah. And he wasn't like playing Sheldon's game. Yeah. And I was like, okay. Yes. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:20:36 Like you stood your ground on the Sheldon thing, but you're like, it's not as so important to you to best. Sheldon in like a way that would I don't know just where you make you less likeable I don't know I feel bad for Penny though

Starting point is 00:20:52 Yeah she wanted to To spend a nice evening with that boy And she wanted She wanted to have coffee with that man Yeah she wanted to have not coffee with that boy Did you watch the show Luke Cage I've seen season one Okay so these do you understand the reference

Starting point is 00:21:06 The coffee reference Yeah I was like yeah let's get some coffee Come on get some coffee Oh That would have been great That's out Misty Night. This video is sponsored by PricePix.

Starting point is 00:22:02 Price Pix. America's number one sports picks app. Shout out Misty Freakin' Night. Okay. Well, let's go on to the next question from the one and only carebear. Let's do it. Hey, J&A. The train episode.

Starting point is 00:22:19 Though there are less than 10, 100,000 passengers each day on Amtrak, trains are highly popular globally. Daily tickets in the UK are 5 million. Wow. Yeah, daily tickets in the UK, 5 million. India, 20 million. Japan, 50 million put the U.S. to shame. Question. Like Sheldon, do you think we're missing out?

Starting point is 00:22:42 on more train fun here in the States. Have you had any memorable train journeys either here or abroad? I need to have an actual train journey. Like, you know, I've written. It's a great question. I've written on a subway and I've been to, you know, places where there are trains. And, you know, we have travel town here and various things that you can do in a stationary setting. But I don't think I've ever taken, like a train ride in terms of like, like you said earlier,

Starting point is 00:23:09 like going to San Francisco or San Diego or anything like that. I would love to though. Like I find the idea like I love, you know, a window seat and like watching the world whizz by and, you know, a plane is nice. But I feel like, you know, a train can be even cooler because, you know, there's, I imagine a train being slightly, maybe potentially a little less cramped. And like there's something I find enjoyable about like being somewhat restricted and on a transport like that. And then you can kind of like use that time for a handful of things. So if you got a little iPad or something, like you can make music or, you know, heck, read or sketch or draw, like, it seems like a really great place to just like sit and think and you can even do work or whatever. But I love that.

Starting point is 00:23:50 There's something I like about, you know, like a prolonged transport scenario and then it's like gazing out the window, tucking into some kind of project. And, yeah, and enjoying also, too, just the, the, it's like a historic. It's one of our, you know, major, even though now obviously not in the States, quite. quite as much as you've pointed out. Like, it's one of our major historic modes of transportation, you know, history, at least in very recent, you know, since the Industrial Revolution Times has, there was a period of time where trains were king. So, you know, we love a train, and I would love to go for an actual, like a trip on a train.

Starting point is 00:24:26 Yeah. Now, do we consider Subways trains, or is that a whole different category? Yeah, I would say so. I guess the only, the only asterisk I would put there is that, like, my, impression of a subway is that like, I mean, you can get across town, you know, you can travel a fair distance, but I don't imagine a subway where you would like go to a whole different, uh, you know, like go halfway down the state on a subway or go, you know, like a few hours away necessarily. Okay. Then again, like we live in, uh, southern California where like this kind of,

Starting point is 00:25:00 like in New York, obviously, you could probably take a train all over the place, but, but yeah, uh, I would count it, but I would say it's not quite the same as like the above of ground train. Okay. According to Google, it is a specific type of electric passenger train system.

Starting point is 00:25:14 100%. I mean, it's a train. It's absolutely a train. I would count it, yeah. Okay. So to answer your question, well, first off, I think that's pretty cool

Starting point is 00:25:23 about how many people use trains in other countries. And I would love to travel to those other countries to experience their specific train systems, rank them, put a video out,

Starting point is 00:25:33 talking about how cool trains are, what country has the best trains. Is it New York City with their subway? I don't know. It could be London. Could be Japan. I'm guessing it's not in America.

Starting point is 00:25:44 I'm going to guess it's not in America. Definitely not in Los Angeles. Not the best one. But as far as my own experiences here, I think we are missing out on fun. As far as the large community of people, because we're mostly a driving city here. But as far as fun train journeys go, I have had a few in my day, I'll say. I've had a couple at the very least. traveling with some buddies to and from a birthday occasion, getting a little drunk, playing some games.

Starting point is 00:26:13 I think I talked to some, oh, yeah, there's a whole like Mardi Gras thing happening when I went to San Diego back in 2019. And there was like a whole bunch of people like drinking with like their beads and stuff. And I think at another time, people were going like a racetrack event and everyone's all hyped up for that. This is on my way to Comic Con in 2019. So that was really cool. And then most recently I had like. a really fun, well, it wasn't really fun. It was like more serious talk with some friends of mine.

Starting point is 00:26:42 And that was really cool to have that experience on a train. It was uncomfortable. It was cathartic. But it was good. But honestly, I think my affinity for trains comes from the meat cute and one of my favorite movies of all time in Before Sunrise. Because that's how it all starts on a train ride. I was going to say, we can jump over to Jay Rushden real quick.

Starting point is 00:27:03 J. Rushin question, what's your favorite train movie? Is that what you would say? Playing trains in automobiles. Oh, wow. No, I've never seen that movie. Wow, I haven't to. I have also not seen it. I don't know if, I don't know if a sunrise counts as a train movie. Don't they on a train? It starts on a train. Anyway, would you, if a movie starts has a location, would you consider that a train movie? I think train to Busan is pretty cool. I would say, a train abyss sounds great. I would say, I mean, the purest and the. is a movie set on a train, I suppose. You know, your trains to Busan, your snow piercers, things like that, which are great. I would also go as far as to argue any movie that has, like, a showstopper of a train set piece, perhaps. Because what came to my mind was Wallace and Gromit, the short with Feathers McGraw, where they have the chase with the model train and Gromit's, like, laying the track down as they go. And it's like one of the, it's like a truly tremendous cinematic.

Starting point is 00:28:03 train sequence. It's just a short. It's hand animated clamation. But it is like one of the cinematic achievements of Patrick. Go watch the Patrick H. Willems two-part video on train movies and why trains are like the best cinematic mode of transport. But yeah, I don't know. I mean, I feel like best train movies, there's got to be a good amount. It's got to be an array of train movies. I was going to say, I've never seen Unstoppable. I've never seen The Taking of Pelham 1, 2, 3. Oh, me and Greg watched that one. Was it good?

Starting point is 00:28:35 It was very good. I didn't see The Atlas Shrugged movies. Those did well. I think it was a Tony Scott film? Train spotting's great. Yeah, there you go. Yeah. Mm-hmm.

Starting point is 00:28:47 Strangers on a train. I want to watch that and I want to just throw a mama from the train again because I haven't seen that in a minute. Inception is not a train movie. There's train. No, there's just that train that busts down the street. Yeah. That doesn't count. That's a technicality.

Starting point is 00:29:02 Oh, the elephant man has a train. That's cool. 310 to Yuma. 310 to Yuma is a good movie. I've ever seen it. Yeah, I mean, that's the thing. It's like half the westerns have a train interlude. Brownhound Day is also not a train movie.

Starting point is 00:29:12 Yeah, is there a train? The born identity is not a train movie. Yeah, he gets on a train at some point, I think. But yeah, it's not like a really trainee. See, and that's the thing is like these are all, yeah, I would say that's my criteria for this. It's either a movie that takes place entirely on a train or that has like a very notable train sequence. But then again, you know, it's like the fugitive has like the fugitive has like,

Starting point is 00:29:33 like a great, you know, train, like, crash escape sequence or whatever. If we're saying these are train movies and Spider-Man 2 is the best train movie. Okay, fine. See, there you go. That's the debate. That's the debate we want to spark. All right. So any of you out there riding for, like, Darjeeling Limited or the end of Hostel or something

Starting point is 00:29:54 like that, just show up. Is Hostel? I've never seen those movies. Hostel has a train at the end. Okay. All right. Well, there you go. It's a notable train moment at the end.

Starting point is 00:30:03 Well, I guess I got to watch Hostel to really appreciate that. The General with Buster Keaton. Is there Thomas the Tank Engine movie we're missing? You know, but yeah, yeah, you know, leave us a train movie, and we'll tell you if we like it or not. Leave us a train movie. Okay, guys, what did you guys think of this block? We got Jules R. Oh, my bad.

Starting point is 00:30:24 I'm sorry, Jules. Jules. All right. Hey, John and Aaron. Really look forward to your reactions. We're looking forward to it each week Oh, shucks. Thanks, Jules.

Starting point is 00:30:36 The wrong trousers, by the way. That's the wrong wallace and grommet short. So my favorite episode of it, my favorite episodes of the show are when Penny and Sheldon are interacting because I love their brothers slash just a relationship. What has been your favorite? What has been a duo you have been liking watching or have been liked watching and that there is a duo you would like to see more of? Okay.

Starting point is 00:31:01 I mean, I do find whenever Penny and Sheldon, yeah, are like, I mean, like, it's fun to watch him be a foil for her, but when they, like, get onto a scheme together, like, that stuff becomes very fun. And I do agree that, like, their brother-sister energy is very enjoyable. Agreed. So, I mean, it's kind of hard to beat them as a duo. I'm trying to think who else it could be. I mean, you know, that doesn't count.

Starting point is 00:31:28 What do you got? Um, I mean, we get a lot of Leonard and, uh, and Sheldon going on who, we don't really get a lot of, a lot of, uh, Leonard and, and Raj. That's true. We haven't gotten that combo really. Let's get a more Leonard and Raj combo going on. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I feel like that's, that's, that's a stone left a little bit unturned anyway.

Starting point is 00:31:52 Yeah. Um, and I feel like we could get more. We'll, eventually, we'll, will, we'll, will, Raj open up and talk to Penny. That could be a fun dynamic if we see the two of them more often. She's going to be very little. She's going to be mentoring each one of these men. Yes. And how to socially behave around women.

Starting point is 00:32:08 I guess we don't get very money just like it's only Howard and Sheldon's. Yeah. That would be an odd. An odd pairing. Yeah, an odd just solo duo. Yeah. I think. I mean, yeah.

Starting point is 00:32:21 Like, it's been the, they all have the best performers. They all have like the fun and the chemistry together. I would say that, yeah, I mean, so far I probably have gotten the biggest, the most unexpected kicks. Like, yeah, when Sheldon keeps like, is it, was it him? He's helping Penny with the game and she's like going more and more off the deep end. Was that him helping her? That wasn't Howard. Not Howard.

Starting point is 00:32:45 It wouldn't be. Leonard helping her. That was her and Sheldon. Yeah. I think that's the one to beat. And then, golly, I want more of Penny and Howard's mom. Yes. I need more Leslie and Howard's mom.

Starting point is 00:33:00 Yeah, we need more Leslie and Howard's mom, I think, is the call. Yeah, and more story in the mix. I liked him. Let's get him more involved with our cast here other than... Yeah, yeah. I want to see what him and Leonard's relationship is actually like and see what his opinion of Howard is. But I'm sure we're going to get more of him because clearly people like them enough to give him a spinoff. So, yeah, in time.

Starting point is 00:33:21 There we go. There we go. Okay, you guys, we have finished our block for today. Let us know what your favorite episode. episode was what's your favorite train moment yes let us know if you have a favorite train movie does and what's your favorite uh Batman moment or comic book moment um yeah that's it do it we'll do it see for the last three episodes of season two until next time stay big stay banging deuce moose
