As you are probably aware, if you've been a Dexter watcher on this channel, it'll take a few weeks to clear that up.

Yeah, I was waiting for it. I'm so sorry, we are the big bang boys. There we go. You did it. See? Not missing a bean. Let's watch this final block. Mo-mo.

We're going to get 15% off on all merchandise if you are a patron. That's right. Hold on. Thank you. There's a speedy Gonzalez right there. You know what? I thought you got the formula down. You formed it up and you loaded down.

It only took me two years. We did it. Anyway, Johnny Boy, how are you feeling about this block? We had a few questions. We'll chat about our feelings about these three episodes before we get into all of that. I have no thoughts. I didn't think once this whole time. Nope.

Just too busy, just laughing and crying. Just thank. Yeah, no. Cried. It's beautiful. This was very fun. This was a fun end to the season. Yeah, I feel like we got a few specific things for this trio.

Usually we're watching five episodes at a time. Today we're watching three at a clip, but this definitely gave us three unique scenarios. Love of Judy Greer off the bat. That was great. Judy Greer, all praise. One thing I love about Judy Greer, that is fun, is that she can kind of play anybody. Like, she can be a very sort of, like, quirky, nerdy kind of character.

So she's, like, well suited to the idea that, like, oh, this is some kind of, you know, impressive expert in a scientific field of some kind. I could see that within her repertoire. Definitely. And then to make the choice that, you know, She is this is very open and sort of lust-driven character as well. Like she's got just a sexiness about her that she's able to tap into as well. It's also very natural.

And that like she can be like, yeah, this mostly leans on the alluring, the more sort of like, oh, the energy, the sort of, yeah, like, I don't know, primal zest that she brings to that. and I don't know I like I like that yeah she can be like the thing I expected her to be which is yeah like sort of a quirky geeky character yeah but then she can also very convincingly sell the actual choice they made and then she can be in other stuff where she's somewhere

in between those things and is just sort of like a more sort of normalish character like I think she's got like well a lot more range than maybe she's sometimes credited with and definitely and I mean I thought it was funny like It's interesting, I'll get into that later. This is, yeah, it was fun to see her just get to fully play. Like, it seemed like she got to be the, just the element, the quintessential, whatever that character is at the middle of this weird vortex that she causes with all the other characters, which is just like kind of a fun power structure to have. Yeah.

And then we got the flashback episode. Love us a flashback. Love us. Do the old hairdoes and let's do the go. of goofy, you know, throwback outfits and stuff like that. Also fun. And then,

yeah, to cap off the season with Shelley finding some potential romance. Potential love. Not bad, man. And yeah, I think just like through cultural osmosis, that actress and then I think

in some of the pictures we've seen that are presumably from beyond the seasons we've currently watched, she seems to be on that cover. So I think that girl's here to stay. Yeah, she turned around. I was like,

oh, this is a canon event. Yep, I was like, okay, I've seen that girl's face. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know what the whole deal is, but yeah. So we've entered some kind of new important stage of the game. Yeah, which is fascinating because I know that and I, which is why I was surprised what Bernadette was not here. At least they broke up because I think that you see her in some of these pictures as well on the covers.

I'm like, okay, well, we know we're no, we know that she's going to be back at some point. And they needed some reason. I couldn't tell where the chicken and egg was with that. I was like, do they just need a reason why Howard would be like fully able and down to jump in on this? Yeah, like, porno fantasy. Yeah, I mean, she hasn't been in the last couple blocks. So I was like, yeah, what happened about it? We haven't even mentioned her.

But then he said they broke up weeks ago. I was like, oh. But even in that, he did not revert back to being the pervy guy from the first two seasons. No, he's been non-lock-upable or at least way less lock-upable this season. 100%. Yeah. I got to say, this is probably. so far my favorite season of the show yeah yeah i was like they found a way to

improve the comedy the dynamics and add a sense of of continuity that is woven into all of these episodes yeah with the exception of the roommate episode i feel like that's an episode you can throw in anywhere yeah yeah yeah that that i feel like is like in a way sensible for a penultimate episode because it feels like you know it has its own little spotlight quality to it where you're like oh okay we're expanding sort of the history unraveling the mystery so I could see how that makes sense for a penultimate episode

same time you could kind of just put that anywhere in a sitcom that's 23 episodes long as there's no illusion to the fact that Penny and Leonard have dated or if they will date. It's just like, hey, can I come over here? Because we're getting into an argument. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And the show started with the three of them, you know, and we start with all of them, but they are typically the three we focus most on. Yeah, and I wonder where this was too, because

like I feel like, and it still happens today, to some extent, but I feel like before, in the before times, like the air dates and the production order might not always be, like, you know, there might be some reason why the network might decide to air in a different order. And so not to say that that's why this episode is where it is, but, you know, it's like one of those where I could imagine certain episodes kind of allowing for that, like, oh, this is sort of isolated and doesn't have too many serial callbacks or elements that haven't been established yet or whatever.

But yeah, this was a, this was a, of, you know, specific, like this was a block that was marked by, yeah, like three quite specific feeling episodes. Yeah, and it's interesting. So far, overseas and finalies don't really feel. like season finale. Just for like an episode. And then the season just kind of ends. Kind of. Well, with things after the last season, that kind of felt like a season finale. This one felt like a season finale in that last scene. And only because I, yeah, it's because like I've seen enough just posters and, and yeah, DVD covers and whatever else to know that like,

oh, okay, this is a regular. We're just meeting now. And the even the concept of just like, oh, Sheldon actually finding like part of the joke starts to present itself. And you're like, oh, they're actually gonna hit it off aren't they yeah so like that is uh i think a big enough you know beat to choose for your finale but yeah it's like if you didn't know you were watching the finale i wouldn't have it's like if i just caught that episode stray on tv right uh i would probably not think about it until that last scene being you know like oh is this some kind of like season finale or midseason we didn't do midseason as much but i don't get in list modes can see what the top rated episode is.

Put it in list mode, Chuck. Put it in list mode. I'll go up. Go up. It's at the top. You got to go to episode guide. Episode guide. Yeah.

There you go. They'll, yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Okay. We're the top rated episodes of the season.

Okay. This is one. The adhesive duck deficiency. Yeah. They get stoned. Yeah. And, oh, yeah, the shower episode. That's right.

Uh-huh. The shower episode was great. And then, oh, this is the, the top rated episode as well. Yeah. We get the origin of the guys. The elevator was fun. Yeah.

That was a good one. I was like, okay, out of all the things that could have been, I definitely did not expect that. Yeah. Oh, what? The people don't care. Well, I guess it's not low rated, but the Will Weiden episode is one of the lower rated on the season. Yeah, not in the eights anyway.

Most of these are in the eights. Also, when in the argument, oh, when they're having some spat, so people don't like when they have relationship problems. Yeah. The ratings go down. They're like, no, we like them happy. Yeah. Retain our status quo, damn it.

But Gothowitz made it into the 8.1. Hell, yeah, gothowitz. It sounds out to Gothowitz. I hope they bring him back. Me too. Yeah. It is interesting. Watching this, like, I think this is, yeah, this has definitely been some of the strongest the show has been.

And, and, like, the writing, it's in the combination of things. I feel like the writing, by and large, has gotten to the point where like regardless of the conceit of the show even in the specifics you can just feel like there's a lot of energy you can feel the kind of like that they're getting their rhythm and cook in and yeah like there's a lot of crack whip crack sharpness and then that also it's the synthesis of the writing and the cast and the cast is also really got a flow down and a real like it feels second nature but not at all an autopilot you know and uh i got to commend that it is it is an interesting thing.

It did cross my mind, and I don't want to, like, dog whistle or upset anybody. It is just interesting. I am like, this is a very sort of, like, I don't know, like, the whole... It's like most of Penny's stories are sort of relationship-oriented. She's dating somebody, or Leonard is, like, fixated on her or something. And, you know, Judy Greer, guest star, and she's mostly just, like, a sex thing. And so, like, you know, it's one of those where I'm like, I can, hold two things in mind at once, but it did cross

my mind. I was like, you know, it's a, uh, yeah, I'm curious about what a character like. I forget what, uh, her actual name is, the Miami-Mbiala character. I'm sad to see Bernadette go because she was a character with a little bit. And she, you know, has a, uh, you know, her own. She's with Howard. So there's a sexual element to that story too. And that's a relationship. So it's in that arena anyway. But she was yeah, like a little more

tempered and a little more like, uh, can go tete-a-tete in a different way with the guys. Yeah. And I expect my ambial, Bialy's character to bring that energy and just to like, it's just like a proportionality thing. It's like in a show where the female characters aren't so frequently put into these specific themes and scenarios, I wouldn't be thinking so much about this. But it did cross my mind at the same time as I was very much enjoying watching Judy Greer have fun. And, you know, I appreciate that. that exists here too, a character who's just like,

she's having a great time. Oh, yeah. She's doing her thing. These dudes can all be flustered and figure that out. And she's kind of yes. She's down to yes and any configuration of this. Any situation. And I'm like,

yes, live your best life, girl. And it's a fun subversion. But it's also not like the most outlandish idea. It's not as absurd as maybe the show might think it is. No, no.

And I was like, hey, you know, I'm game for it. I'm happy that she looks like she's having fun. And yeah, she's both intelligent and, you know, very sexy. So yeah, good on them for that.

Okay, let's get into the fan questions. Here we go with Care Bear. Yeah, Care Bear. Hey, Jay and A. What's up, Care Bear? Amy Farah Fowler has entered the chat. That's her name, Amy Farallor. Hey, Amy was a complete surprise to the Big Bang Theory's original audience,

and her introduction is widely considered one of the best ever written in history. It's a comic history. though initially only hired for one episode Myam Bollick Who's what I said her name wrong? Bialik chemistry with the cast Was undeniable changing the show's trajectory Wow

What do you think makes for a great character Intro in TV slash film Any personal favorites? Oh gosh That's that's the kind of question That's designed to cook my brain a little bit But yeah I think what they did here was fun

because they set up a situation that's very, that's like personal. You know, they're trying to find a girl for Sheldon. So, like, that's already got kind of a whimsical personal slant, and it's grown out of the bedrock of what the show's doing. But, yeah, they build up the idea both as a game of, like, is this going to be someone who's horribly mismatched or somebody who's perfect despite Sheldon's reservations? And so you already, yeah, it just gets you wondering in different directions.

it gets you prepared for some kind of surprise but predicting certain things. So it's like it gets you really hooked into what it could and should be. And then yeah, like the way they articulated that conversation, I just thought was like, you know,

you got to kind of imagine from your different characters' perspectives and you got to make the alignment of those things feel alive and not just because you need the script to do that. So I mean, yeah, I thought they built it up and they made for a nice anticipation

and then they like punched you with it. They kind of gave you a surprise with it. and they allow your kind of main character in this situation, like a significant character who, even if you're not always eyelined with, like to see him flustered or to see him kind of redirected from his original idea of the situation is also kind of striking.

You know, it's the reaction to. So, yeah, I think you got to, yeah, create some kind of mystery, create some kind of personal stakes for which having a new character might, you know, I don't know, create some interesting dramatic friction. Yeah.

I don't know if any of this makes sense, but. I mean, it makes sense to me. I think what makes a good character is knowing, one, knowing what your cast is and the dynamics that are already in play and how do you build upon or add something into the mix of your characters that provides an element that is not currently present? Or enhances or amplifies energy that's already present. by giving somebody a presence that is similar to what your current cast of characters are.

And I feel like they've done that with someone like Amy Farrah Fowler so far within this episode. Because I'm like, you clearly see like, oh, this is a recipe for hilarity and a recipe for disaster for our characters because they are very similar. And of course, Sheldon being the self-obsessed guy that he is would date somebody who is essentially the female version of him. Yeah, 100% who would be able to like really go tete-a-tete with him in as many regards as possible. Yeah. Exactly. So I'm thinking back on other intros of characters in the show. Like Stewart's intro, he was very much a normal seeming guy who was like, he was like kind of cool and like, like, well, he wasn't cool.

He was more so like, he was, he was like a, I seem like an every man kind of thing. just like he was he was very shy and like very normal and yeah you know kind of little naive but also it can go toe to toe with someone like a sheldon as far as like being able to uh talk about comics and stuff so that's what made that character interesting yeah i'm trying to think of like other intros of shows and it's funny like you get a question like this and now my brain is like every show that i've seen i've is gone from my head no that's how it works for me like the first one that came to mind and and luckily there are a lot of great examples examples if you if you you you know need a stoke on that fire but uh the person that came to

mine weirdly is peter dinklage an elf you know like it's a fun build-up just to yeah like and obviously there's a sight gag element but you know that's it's a fun uh you know casting decision for various reasons it's in the spirit of the thing it's a bit self-aware but it's also kind of yeah it makes it's it's well handled because it exists in a context outside the movie movie and it well exists inside the movie also. Maybe Terminator 2, like when Arnold finally shows up and just the kind of dual impact of especially I got to imagine if you were coming out of only having seen the first one and you're like, oh my God, he's back.

This is horrible. And then you see what's actually happening there. And you're like, oh, shit. So, I mean, that's a pretty great one. Oh, I just had one. All the Nolan Batman's have a good one. I mean, like, especially the Joker and the Bain introses are pretty freaking striking. My mind went to Les Grossman and Tropic Thunder.

I feel like he added like a punch to that movie. Yeah. That was very, uh, unexpected. Yeah. I mean, Trinity and the Matrix, that whole like introduction to her and the world around her is pretty amazing. The opening of freaking, I mean, it's different. I guess it's like if you're building up, because like I'm looking at this list here and they say like Christian Bail and American Psycho is a great character introduction, but I wouldn't call that like a reveal

I guess yeah for broadening it up I'm thinking of supporting characters yeah exactly I'm like just saw the kind of whole movie is like a protracted introduction of a character which is pretty fun

Nick Fury's was great Nick Fury yeah that's that's a good one God there's so many to choose from honestly the Indiana Jones especially Raiders has like a really fun indie reveal um parker and and um civil war was was fun oh sure yeah yeah yeah oh it's a wonderful life yeah that's a good one that is a good one oh blade wesley snipes yeah yeah yeah get that blade intro uh there are so many good well yeah honestly i'm trying to be ride and this is the end that was a fun one yeah like there are so many this is exactly the kind of question where i'm like i know i have like personal answers from my specific you know collection of movies movies that I particularly love.

Yeah. And yeah, like, whenever I get one of these, yeah, my, I'm like, I need all the time to go, like, dig through my catalog and look down. For some reason, it's not in my-palice. It's not in my random access memory. And then, yeah, my brain is like, shit, I got to come up with, not just a good answer. It's like, I got to come up with my answer. Yeah.

And that's like a pressure and of itself because I'm like, well, shit, I don't know. I got to do some research and I got to reflect and I got to go look at the movies, again, that I love and care about the most. Right. And you have, like, 30-plus years of history to just, like, kind of mine through. like all the things that you love so that makes it even tougher yeah i mean it doesn't count necessarily but just the reveal of like agent j in full men in black mode was always like a fun one to me because that does feel still like a reinvented like you're meeting this character on you sure

yeah um but by that logic like not the exact same but similar but the introduction of the spider man in no way home yeah yeah yeah we've seen them before but just like into this franchise yeah um but gang leave us uh whatever some of your best characters or intro moments are. Let us snore, guys. What are your favorite ones? But yeah. The Jason intro for the way they introduced Jason in part six.

Love that. Watch that. Okay. Let's get over to our next questions. Shia Silberstein. Thank you for chiming in. What do we think? What do we think about Zach, about Zach and how he parallels Penny's relationship with

Leonard. I think it gives her an interesting insight into who she was when we met her versus who she is now and the interesting ways we've seen her be affected by the guys by getting into video games and getting into some of these more considered nerdy hobbies or or interests. Like when Leonard said, I love you, she's making a Star Wars reference, which is something never early season one penny would have never done. so yeah i think it kind of puts her own interest into perspective even though the way we found out about her realization about how she feels about him i was like no she's so she's so drunk and you so sober it's no no bueno brother but hey that's tv i guess yeah yeah um i mean yeah it's uh this i did like that beat about her basically saying yeah like you've you've he's you've ruined it. He's too stupid now. Like he's,

I see this and I can't unsee it, you know, in a way because I've been with somebody who ostensibly was more perhaps mentally stimulating. And, you know, it seemed like Leonard and Penny were able to have at least some amount of fun together. So it seems as though maybe their,

you know, interlude has in some way opened her up to a deeper level of expectations out of relations, which is not a bad thing, especially if you just want someone more mentally stimulating. I mean, yeah, I feel like I don't see it as much of a parallel as a contrast. Yeah. But yeah, it's an interesting beat to play.

And it was an interesting way to do that plot line. Sort of it's the more interesting aspect of a plot line I'm used to seeing in stuff like this where it's like, oh, we were dating and then we have sex again. And then is it awkward or is it not awkward and who's it awkward for and why? It's still like a thing you do. But, uh, yeah, her at least having being to that was at least a way to kind of, uh, add a nuance. So it's not just like, oh, this is one of the buttons we can push is like pennies with a dumb guy and, you know. Now this question makes you wonder if that guy's going to come back. Oh, I wonder.

Because they're like, what do you think of Zach? This like random one-off character and how it parallels. I'm like, well, is it really a parallel if he's only a one-off? I don't know. or a contrast, but I guess we'll find out in seasons to come. In seasons to come. I don't know. Yeah.

I wonder if we're going to see more Zach. I mean, I liked watching that guy. I thought it was funny. I thought he was a funny performer. He was. So he played very in the moment of, of that, you know, and didn't seem like he was hamming that character too much. So I just appreciate that.

Yeah, me too. All right. Jay Rustin to ask, which of the rejects do you know the longest and what is the reason you met like there like in the show I feel like I've known you and

Greg the longest I met Greg first I met Greg 2016 at a Batman Killer what was it killing joke screening him and Andrew I met them at the same time and then a couple years later you and Greg did like a

film therapy thing like a live event yeah that was cool and then yeah i have a i have a picture of the first time the three of where i met them and i started a high top back then and that was fun and then i think it's well it's rotten that you and greg know each other i don't know actually how you guys met do you remember how you and greg met yeah we were in school i mean we've known each other since we were kids. So I mean, I don't remember the exact moment, I guess, off the top of my head. I mean, we were probably just in class, you know, I mean, it was third grade. We, you know, we told us to start. We met in first grade. And, you know, we were cool and stuff, however that is when you're small. And then, yeah, by third grade, you know, Pokemon,

we had different, you know, stuff to kind of bond moreover. And, uh, and then, yeah, he would, we would, you know, hang out and watch movies and, you know, he would bring over stuff that I wasn't, you know i didn't have access to so we could you know get into the deeper levels of cinema yeah she'd you like oh don't turn it up too loud um so yeah i mean i've definitely known him the longest and then Alex after that because she

uh she we we all went to school together for a while and uh she joined i can't remember what grade she joined it but uh but yeah so i oh yeah i guess we'll be the order of like longest rejects for you it'd probably be let me guess Greg Alex Greg Alex. John L.J. L.J.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, because I've technically known him since before this. Then Tara, then Andrew? Is that how that would work? Terra, yeah, Tara or Andrew, somewhere in there. Probably Tara first. Yeah. I think. And then Andrew and then Roxy.

You met Roxy before Koi? No, Koi. No, Koi then Roxy. Yeah, that's about right. And then... Oh, so you don't Roxy for a minute then. Well, yeah, because I mean... Shmoh down stuff, but Shmowdown stuff,

and just kind of running into each other before. Okay. And all through this. Like, not outside of this. Coy, actually, and I met through a connection through a coffee shop the initial time. I've heard about the story. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And then me, I imagine. For you, for you. I don't know. I think you were the third person I met Afriandir. Greg, for me it's... Yeah. Yeah, for me, it was... It would be more recent.

Because I've... And then Jackie and Paige, obviously, the most recent ones. Of course, yeah. Well, and, okay, so then it would be you, the Michael for counting Michael. Okay, yeah. Honorary reject. Michael Tesler, shouts out. Jackie and Paige. Yeah.

Because we met 2018, so I've known you for, like, fucking better part of a decade now. It's crazy, right? Yeah, dude. That's truly insanity. Nuddy. Nuddy professor. To the clumps. Yeah, eight years.

Yeah, my eight years ago. I mean, there are so many great ways to introduce a character. Did we get good and should good character. Oh, we're going back to question one? No, I'm just saying in life. Oh. Or our character intros. I wonder if all of our character intros were good or or.

I remember just really like vibing with you guys on first night. You want to post a picture. Let's get at it. I was thinking too. about this question I was though because I'm like damn because that's the thing is there are two ways to look at this there are two ways you can either look at the way they were looking at it here which is like

we're introducing we're building somebody up to reveal them right then there's a character intro like you know the if you're watching the thing R.J. McCready you know I think we introduced to him he's like playing a computer game he's losing it computer chess and he's just like bundled up and looking grumpy and he's got a big sombrero

on and he like pours a drink in the computer when he loses it is that's on me I first make Greg and that's the character intro And that's fucking amazing. Oh, yeah, there we go. That's the day of. Back in the day. Dude, look at that.

July 7th. The flat top. Yeah, dude. Dude, flat top air. Come a long way. Different times. Very different time. God, the intro of Snake Pliskin, the intro of Sam in trick or treat.

Now I'm cooking. Now I'm like, okay, now's the introduction of Mr. Babadook. Like, I don't know. There's so many good character intros. Yeah, dude. This is another question. Add it to the pile of, uh, ask periodically and, get a prize you know back to it yeah okay we got a couple more we got some overflow

care bears back fun fact beaulic was named drop was name dropped in season one when the gang suggested the actress who holds the a phd in neuroscience joined their physics bowl team oh shit so we like like anne amy fairer fowler is that or did they literally say my ambiolic should join this year like yeah see does she the actual scientist or something Does she do science? That one's look her up. I am biolic. Not married.

A real neuroscientist. A PhD in neuroscience. That's cool. Yeah, damn. That's awesome. So, honestly, clarify that because I don't remember it off the top of my head. Did they name drop her particularly, or did they name drop the character? Either way, that's very fun.

Yeah, join their physics team. because yeah she's really got a PhD and that's crazy that's fun I like the reals for again a show with many feelings surrounding it I like these elements of like okay real science adjacent things real science things love it she's in the

sitcom for a minute wow and she became an actress dude yeah I'm like where's I'm like where's that chicken and egg I'm like was she acting alongside all of this anyway or you know early life and yeah okay this is a real answer this question

she's a vegan okay all right okay so she's been acting she's been acting she's just happens to be both since she was a kid all right yeah so she's both gotcha all right very much so she's duke houseer yeah mcgiverr murphy brown carman san diego the john the rickette show hey arnold a real monsters johnny quest johnny bravo extreme ghostbusters freaking fat actress curb your enthusiasm we don't go well we don't we don't want to go too far now. I want to go too far. Well, anyway.

There's something I know. I don't want you to know yet. What? Nah, you can't know. You can't know. Are you saying she's in Resident Evil? Yeah. It's messed up.

I know. All right. How dare I spoil that? But we have one more question, so I can't spoil things. Let's hit it. Shia Soberstein. Chia Soberstein. Question number two.

Also, did you think it would take long? You would take this long for Shelton to go on? a date just three seasons in. I didn't know if Sheldon would ever date. I honestly didn't either. I was like, you know what? The show could be like he's just that guy who's just kind of like potentially asexual, just kind of just going through the world.

But you know what? For him to find a mate, that's great. Yeah, we love that. I'm happy for him. I mean, it's one of those. Yeah, I, in the bingo card, it's one of the spaces. So like, it's a thing I expected they could. do at any point.

I also at the back of my mind thought it's a possibility that one of those choices is to not do it and I would actually respect it if they went that way. But I don't think one of the choices is better than the other really. So yeah, I am I'm not surprised. But it could have been later if they, it's weird. I'm like, I'm like five percent like, okay, we're doing it. We're starting this off now. And then the other 95% is like, yeah, that makes sense.

Because now also we know at this point probably that we're going to have time to do this. We're going to have... She's going to be in most of the show. We're picked up for next season and probably a couple more. I don't know if they got picked up for it. I don't know what the details were. But by now they probably know that they have a foothold and can plan longer. So what...

This show started in 2006. So it came out the year X-Men, the last stand came out. Hell yeah. And the show... That's what everyone was thinking at the time. Ended the year. End game came out. Dude, it's the real thing you got to watch before Doomsday.

Yeah, man. This is the real road to Doomsday. That's canon. Are we going to start getting MCU references and Big Bang theory going forward? This is where they introduced Dr. Doom, actually. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Actually, they're all the fantastic four, but they have their minds wiped.

Do you think we'll get any MCU actors in the show? Definitely. That's a good question. Maybe Randall Park. I can see that for sure, for sure. I would love to see Chris Evanson here. I highly doubt it though. I highly doubt we'll get a person.

Yeah, like who of the biggest offenders would show up here? Maybe a Paul Rudd is kind of in... I can see a Paul Rudd for sure. I don't think he was... It's weird. I could... I think in an early... In the Friends era, if this was already on, I could see him.

I don't think at this moment in time he would do it because he didn't have to. He's on movies now. But I can see... What's your name? The girl plays Darcy. Oh, yes. Cat Dennings.

Sure. 100%. 100%. Stell and Scarsgard. No. Anthony Mackey Yeah Yeah yeah yeah

No I can't see Anthony Mackey in here I feel like there's somebody else Who's evading me now But yeah Main Avengers No Extended Avengers I highly doubt we'll ever get our RDJ in here

Never no no no That can't happen that wouldn't happen I refuse Maybe Scarjo Jeremy Renner get Jeremy Renner in there Endgame has a lot of Avengers Let's look at that one

Oh damn that IMTV Does the frustrating way though We won't get any made Avengers But we will get Joe and Anthony Russo Hey they direct a lot TV They direct a lot of community and stuff No Brie Larson No

Brayson I could potentially see Maybe for a second I was thinking of Alice and Bree And I was like well maybe sure Um Bening Wong Bradley Coo She's not an Avenger Gwyneth Boudra

Josh Bolin on the Big Bang theory um i can see that i can see chris pratt for sure chris pratt well he's already done parks and rec though he's not going to go back to another sitcom now maybe we'll go back now but that's not until 2014 we're still in 2010 so maybe that's true ross mark wand will show up the guy who's who steps in for everybody

um yeah dave bautista he's gonna be on the show now i think we covered the main ones who are the most likely julia louis angela basset's gonna go with the big bang theory yeah I hope so. No, but Natalie Portman, I can see for sure. Because she's not only Star Wars, but she's also Marvel. Not only Marvel, but also Star Wars. So maybe Christian Hadenson.

I can see that. That's not a Avenger. Yeah, what you said. Oh, because they could be a Star Wars convention. Exactly. I get the guy who played Jargeron. Ooh, do you think we'll get George Lucas in the show? That's possible, but I feel like he's too grumpy.

Yeah, you think so? I feel like he's just too, he just wants to chill. He just wants to chill He just wants to chill It's open an ice museum Please Please give us George Lucas The show

Read poetry that rhymes Yes And touch Sam That's too coarse Yeah I didn't think it would take This long But I thought it could take longer So

Yeah That's the answer to your question I suppose Well thank you For sending in all the questions Guys We love you very much It's been a blast

And yeah We will come at you With season four See what what hilarity that homegirl seems to add to the mix Amy Farrah Fowler So yeah

We'll see in the next season Until next time Adios, live long and prosper Star Trek Keep banging Bang it out Bang it out Bang it out
