Extended Plot[]

The Discovery Dissipation 11

Sheldon being interviewed on NPR Science Friday.

Sheldon is being interviewed by Ira Flatow on Science Friday in the National Public Radio studio to discuss his discovery of a stable super heavy element. Sheldon starts off that CalTech made him come though he is a big fan of his show. Ira mentions that the element was found by mistake and that the scientific community is calling it the wonder blunder. Sheldon demands to know who and then guesses that it was Howard. Ira continues that Sheldon's calculations were way off and he compares it to misreading a treasure map and still finding the treasure. Sheldon changes the subject and mentions that he knows how to yodel. Ira then states that he could be on the path to winning a Nobel Prize in Chemistry even though his field is physics. This distinction makes Sheldon feel like he is a circus freak. Sheldon then walks out calling Flatow a bully and saying that he is the reason why Americans are switching to television.

While Leonard and Penny and Sheldon and Amy are having dinner, Sheldon is on the phone with a mad President Siebert. Sheldon tells him that he was expecting a professional science interview and not an attack by a morning zoo shock jock. Then he tells the president that if the university needs money so much, they should put out a swear jar. Sheldon gets yelled at to which he tells Siebert that that statement would be worth a dollar. Amy explains that every interview he gives raises the visibility of the university which equates to dollars or funding. Sheldon objects that he isn't just a trained monkey dancing for coins. Leonard agrees since people love trained monkeys. Penny wants to know why he isn't happy since he is tall, thin and famous and then realizes that she is jealous of Sheldon. Amy knows that Sheldon is just going to have to get use to the notoriety. Sheldon explains that none of them know what it is like to be celebrated for something you wish you never did. Penny then quips that he has never been with her during Mardi Gras.

Bernadette is running the vacuum cleaner in their apartment and asks if he's going to help her clean up. Howard is way ahead of her working on the mess the Joker made in the video game he was playing. Raj is his friend Bernadette tells him and Howard promises to help out the rest of the week. Bernadette didn't know it was a week and Howard didn't tell her. She loves Raj, but a week is a long time for a house guest. His building is being fumigated and he couldn't find a hotel that takes dogs. "He's bringing Cinnamon?" Bernadette asks crossly. Howard reacts with the nerve of some guys. Bernadette just gets even more crosser with her husband.

Embarrassment Express

Embarrassment Express

Sheldon is in his bedroom playing with his toy train called the Embarrassment Express which stops at Fraudville, Wonder Blunderberg and Kansas City because it is a hub. Amy knocks on his door and asks if she can come in. Sheldon asks if she has cookies. After she says no, he replies that that is good because he doesn't deserve cookies. She enters with Wil Wheaton who explains that Amy told him that he was having a rough time and thought that they could talk. Sheldon agrees, though now he has three people in his bedroom and it is starting to feel like a discotheque. Wil says that he knows about getting attention for something he wishes he never did. Sheldon tells him that his ending tweets aren't that bad. Wil tells Amy that he remembers why it's been awhile since he visited. Wil starts to talk about when he played Wesley Crusher. Sheldon tells him that he was wonderful in the role, a boy genius with an eidetic memory. Now who couldn't relate to that character? Wil explained that a lot of people hated the character and therefore hated him and would be mean to him. Sheldon replied that the same thing just happened to him and that Wil should tweet about how Ira Flatow is a jerk. Amy concluded that Wil learned to embrace his problem and moved on to bigger and better things. Wil is now an author, public speaker and has a webpage about board games. He got out of Wesley Crusher's shadow and has a pretty great life. Amy whispers to him that they are trying to cheer Sheldon up. Sheldon says that he can see what he is saying and that it does help. He offers to let them play trains with him, but they can only watch. When Wil asks if he can use his train whistle, Sheldon tells him to leave.

Raj is at Howard and Bernadette's apartment brushing Cinnamon's teeth on their couch and Howard wonders why since she also licks her rear, though that IS the reason why he's brushing her teeth. Bernadette arrives home tired and apologizes for being late. Howard tells her that they held dinner and wants to know what she is fixing. Raj objects and tells Bernie that he'll get her a glass of wine and fix dinner since it looks like she has had a long day. Howard counters that she always looks like that. Bernadette throws him a sharp look. Howard then adds that it's because she married an idiot. Raj asks about her day and she started out getting stuck in traffic. Howard wants to know why she didn't put that traffic app on her phone. Raj objects not to tell her how to fix something when she just comes home. When Howard came in with a stomachache from eating too many jelly beans, Raj tried to make him feel better by rubbing his stomach. Bernie looks at them strangely. Raj tells Howard that there is a time to just listen. Also Howard should have stopped eating too many jelly beans when he was ten.

Sheldon is back on the phone with the university president telling him that he is ready to do more interviews and for him to be enthusiastic about his discovery. The president thanks him, while Sheldon tells him that he should thank his friend Wil Wheaton. Sheldon has nine friends, but the president doesn't want to be his tenth. Sheldon decides to make it ten and includes Wolowitz. He greets his friend, Leonard. Sheldon is in a good mood and Leonard expects his news to make him feel better. Leonard has been rerunning the test in his lab and has found that the element that Sheldon discovered does not exist. Someone on the Chinese team had added simulated data signals to their files and they faked the results. All the attention that Sheldon hates can now go away. Sheldon can't believe the interviews are now over. Leonard thanks him. Sheldon then shouts at him for robbing him of his greatest achievement. Sheldon says he is now down to nine friends, though make it eight since he is also sick of Howard. Leonard thought that this news would make him happy. Sheldon counters that he should have told him a joke to make him happy or show him a cute video of a koala and an otter becoming unlikely friends. Leonard finds that there is no pleasing Sheldon and that otters and koalas don't live near each other. Sheldon replies that this reason is what makes their friendship unlikely. Penny enters wondering what all the yelling is about. Sheldon explains what Leonard did and that all the attention was leaving him. Penny also thinks that he should be thrilled. Now, Sheldon says he is down to seven friends. Penny wonders if that includes hobbits and superheroes. When he thought it didn't exist he didn't want it, and now since it doesn't exist its the one thing in the world he wants. Leonard didn't take it away; it was science that took it away. Sheldon doesn't want science used against him since it's his best friend. Now he's back up to eight friends. Leonard wants Penny to tell him that he is crazy; however, Penny knows what he's talking about. Now Sheldon has nine friends. Penny had the same experience with guys she has broken up with. Sheldon doesn't understand, but still agrees so that he and Penny can gang up on Leonard. Leonard replies that if he doesn't publish it, someone else will find it out and tells the world about the nonexistent element. Sheldon tells him to publish it since it is his ethical responsibility as a scientist. Leonard tells him that he will publish it. Sheldon turns to Penny asking if she believes this guy.

The Discovery Dissipation 5

Raj giving Howard relationship advice.

At the Wolowitz's, Bernadette discovers that Raj did the dishes and knows that it wasn't Howard. Raj arrives with Cinnamon in her baby carriage back from a walk and he brought home coffee for everyone. Bernadette thanks him as Raj tells him that her presentation will go great. Howard tells her to knock it out of the park. Bernadette wants him to tell her what the presentation is about. Howard tells her that she better go as Raj shouts to her that Howard loves him. Then Howard complains to Raj that he is making him look bad. Raj is a better husband than Howard. Raj does the dishes, brings coffee and knows all about her life. Howard doesn't want coffee, until Raj identifies it as hot chocolate. Howard wants Raj to stop showing him up in front of Bernadette. Raj explains despite his listening skills, he is a great husband and has come a long way despite being an only child raised by an overprotective mother as Raj adjusts all of Howard's clothes. Even Howard realizes that Raj's actions are getting weird.

The Discovery Dissipation 13

Kripke taunts Sheldon over his retraction.

Leonard enters Sheldon's office and tells him that he has published his findings. Sheldon has already seen it and has posted a retraction of his previous work. The whole scientific community now knows that he is wrong. Leonard tells him not worry because this problem happens all the time. Not to Sheldon, who hasn't published a retraction since he had to concede to his brother George, that he was the greatest ninja in East Texas when he was nine. Barry Kripke comes in to taunt him. He calls Sheldon his favorite superhero, The Retractor. Leonard tells Barry not to give Sheldon a hard time, so Barry says I'm sorry and "RETRACTS" it. He complements Leonard for disproving the Chinese and asks Sheldon if he should try another line of work like retail. Then he could take things back for a living. Leonard again tells him to stop it, but Sheldon can fight his own battles and calls him "Bawwy". Kripke says that is very hurtful since he can't control his speech impediment. Sheldon says that that was uncalled for and he takes it back. "Because you're the re-tractor", Kripke again taunting him.

Raj continues to do things for Bernadette and Howard. Bernadette finds the dinner he made amazing, saying that she is going to have to go get some bigger clothes. Raj disagrees, saying that she was awfully skinny to begin with. Bernadette wants to know why Howard can't say sweet things like that. Bernadette tells Howard that he could be more thoughtful like Raj. Howard reacts that she could do the same thing. Raj packed Howard a lunch and left a note in it. Bernadette tells him that she does enough other stuff around the apartment. Raj tells them to calm down and take a step back. Bernie wonders why they were fighting. Howard admitted that he felt like a lousy husband. Bernie felt like she was a lousy wife. Then they tell each other that they are the best. Howard identifies the problem as Raj. He keeps trying them so well, that they don't think they are doing enough for each other. Bernie says that they felt fine just "half-assing" their way through their marriage. Since he was causing them to fight, they throw Raj out for interfering in their marriage. Raj just tells them that he is glad they are on the same page now. Howard tells her that it's nice she is backing him up for once. Bernie yells at him that she backs him up all the time. Then they realize what Raj did and yell at him for doing it again.

The Discovery Dissipation 1

Amy tells Raj that he should probably leave.

I guess you're sharing with daddy again

I guess you're sharing with daddy again!

Leonard is making up the couch telling Raj that he can't believe they kicked him out. Raj can't believe that they are staying married. It seems he left Cinnamon's toothbrush at Howard's apartment. He tells the dog that they have to share a toothbrush again. Penny looks nauseated. She whispers to the dog to bark once if she wants her to call PETA. Amy and Sheldon enter and he wants to know why the dog was in their apartment. Leonard tells him to relax since he is in a crate. Sheldon gives him two words: "Jurassic Park" where dinosaurs did get out of their cages. Sheldon says sarcastically that this day keeps getting better and better. Penny tells him that if it will help…Sheldon cuts her off that it won't and she agrees that it probably won't help. Amy wants to go for a walk with Sheldon since it was a lovely night. Sheldon snaps at her saying that everything with her is about sex. Raj tells Sheldon that she can only be there for him as much as he is there for her. Amy thanks him. Then Raj tells Amy not to press Sheldon and that he has to give her intimacy on his terms. Objecting to his advice to her, Amy tells him that he should probably go.

Now, Leonard and Sheldon are both on NPR, where they want to discuss Leonard's work disproving Sheldon's discovery. Sheldon first apologizes to Ira for his behavior last week, but doesn't get any apology from Ira for his perceived bad behavior. Leonard is supposed to describe how he came up with his findings. Leonard tries to tell his story and Sheldon interrupts him twice. Sheldon goes way back to when he was bitten by a neighbor's dog at seven leading to his first scientific breakthrough, the doggie death-ray that wouldn't work since he couldn't get any enriched uranium. It turns out that Sheldon wasn't invited. He just came in and sat down.

Penny and Amy are listening to the broadcast. Penny quips that it would be a great drinking game to take a shot every time they say something stupid. Amy thinks that it's a little early for drinking when Sheldon starts to yodel. Amy then offers to go get the vodka.

Credits[]

Critics[]

  • Jesse Schedeen for IGN - This episode was a little disappointing in the sense that we did see any larger, far-reaching drama out of this impromptu, two-part story line. But it was definitely an entertaining episode, thanks to the guest appearances, a wounded Sheldon, and a snappy little subplot featuring Raj. So it's hard to feel too disappointed with the result.

Trivia[]

  • This is the second (and third) time that Sheldon gets an interview from Ira Flatow from National Public Radio|NPR, who himself appears on the screen for the first time. The first time he interviewed Sheldon was on "The Vengeance Formulation" through the telephone, and that time only his voice appeared in the show.
    • Barry Kripke also appeared in the same episode where he injected helium in Sheldon's office to make his voice sound funny.
  • President Siebert once again calls Sheldon to express his anger for the uncalled-for behaviors of the latter, and again Sheldon cannot understand his anger. Similar events previously happened in "The Benefactor Factor" and "The Parking Spot Escalation".
  • Raj once again interferes in the lives of the couples in the social group and finally gets repulsed by them. The similar motive previously served as the main plot of "The Date Night Variable".
  • Wil Wheaton makes his seventh appearance as himself.
    • He mentions "I have my own web series about board games" - which is true in reality: the web series is TableTop and it is released on YouTube.
    • Sheldon previously complained about Wil Wheaton's tweets in "The 21-Second Excitation".
  • Not the first time that Sheldon disturb others with special vocal music art. He practices yodeling in this episode, and previously he practiced Tuvan throat singing in "The Large Hadron Collision" to disturb Leonard and Penny.
  • This episode makes reference to the fact that Sheldon does not consider Howard to be a friend, something which was previously brought up in "The Bozeman Reaction" when Sheldon referred to him merely as a 'treasured acquaintance' (in this episode, Sheldon makes him a friend briefly before changing his mind).
  • Sheldon does an about face on his hatred of the public attention he was getting about his discovery just before Leonard disproves it.
  • Penny quickly realizes that her advice is not wanted and agrees with Sheldon when he cuts her short.
  • This episode is the first time Barry directly acknowledges his rhotacism and expresses hurt when it is made fun of, though he uses the hurt to set Sheldon up for another "Retractor" joke.
  • Sheldon says it's only the second time he's ever had to issue a retraction (the other time being that his brother was the best ninja in east Texas when they were kids), but in "The Electric Can Opener Fluctuation", he has to issue a retraction about the existence of monopoles after finding out Leonard faked the data to make him happy; therefore, this is technically at least Sheldon's third retraction.
  • By disproving Sheldon's theory Leonard technically got revenge for Sheldon's earlier prank of forcing him to wear the itchy jumper in "The Itchy Brain Simulation" as he robbed him of his greatest achievement.
  • Howard and Bernadette are only seen in their apartment throughout this episode and only share scenes with Raj.
    • None of them come to the apartment to listen to Leonard and Sheldon's radio show with Penny and Amy in the end scene.
    • Raj only has one scene with everyone else in this episode.
  • This is the second time Amy meets Wil Wheaton.
  • Howard is seen using an Xbox One controller and says he's "cleaning up the mess the Joker made of Gotham City" when asked by Bernadette to help clean their apartment; however, seeing as the only Batman game on Xbox One is "Batman: Arkham Knight", in which the Joker is seen being cremated at the beginning of the game, it is impossible for Howard to be "cleaning The Joker's mess".
  • Barry also mocks Sheldon about a retraction of his monopole work in "The Electric Can Opener Fluctuation" when the guys provide Sheldon with fake results instead of killing him at the North Pole.

Sheldon: Yeah, well, I’m not just some trained money dancing for coins.
Leonard: Of course you’re not. People love trained monkeys.

(Sheldon playing with his train set in his bedroom).
Sheldon: Here comes the Embarrassment Express. It stops at Fraudville, Wonder-Blunder-Berg and Kansas City, because it's a hub.

(The scene at Howard and Bernadette's apartment where Bernadette is vacuuming the carpet and Howard is playing a video game).
Bernadette: (she's asking her husband crossly) Want to pause the video game and help me clean up?
Howard: I am cleaning up. Look at the mess the Joker made of Gotham City.
Bernadette: (smiling crossly to him) Come on, it’s your friend who’s coming to stay here.
Howard: Raj grew up in India. Trust me, he’s seen worse. (He stops the game).
Bernadette: (still smiling crossly to him) Howie.
Howard: I promise I’ll help out the rest of the week.
Bernadette: (she informs him crossly) The rest of the week? You said it was just gonna be a night or two.
Howard: Yeah, but if I told you a week, would you have said yes?
Bernadette: (she is now very cross) No.
Howard: Then you left me no choice.
(Howard walks of to the sink and Bernadette is now even more cross)
Bernadette: (she tells him about Raj crossly) I love Raj, but that’s a long time for a house guest.
Howard: I know, but they’re tenting his building. He can’t find a hotel he likes that allows dogs.
Bernadette: (she asks him with huge anger) He’s bringing Cinnamon?
Howard: For a whole week, the nerve of some people
(Bernadette just glares at Howard crossly with more anger and says nothing).

Sheldon: Yes, I'd be a physicist with a Nobel Prize in chemistry. Everyone laugh at the circus freak.

Howard: You’re gonna brush your teeth on my couch?
Raj: No, I’m gonna brush Cinnamon’s teeth.
Howard: Why bother? She spends half the time licking her butt.
Raj: And the other half licking my face. That’s why I’m brushing her teeth.
Bernadette: Hey, guys. Sorry I’m so late. Did you already have dinner?
Howard: No, we were waiting for you.
Bernadette: Aw, that’s so sweet.
Howard: Yeah. So what do you feel like making?
(Bernadette smiles crossly at Howard's question)
Raj: Howard, the poor thing just got home from work. Let me get you a glass of wine. I’ll cook dinner.
Bernadette: (snaps at him crossly) Oh, Raj, you’re our guest.
Raj: Don’t be silly. Sit. You look like you’ve had a long day.
Howard: No, she always looks like that.
(Bernadette pauses and glares at her husband crossly)
Howard: Because she married an idiot.
Bernadette: (smiles and sits down) Thank you, Raj.
Raj: Please, this is my way of thanking you for letting me stay here. Now, tell us all about your day.
(Raj sitting down onto the sofa whilst Bernadtte speaks)
Bernadette: Okay, um, well, first, I was late to a meeting ’cause I was stuck in traffic.
Howard: Well, I keep telling you to put that traffic app on your phone.
Raj: Hey, when you got home today complaining that you felt sick from eating too many jelly beans, did I tell you how to fix it? No. I said, aw, that must hurt, and I rubbed your belly.
Howard: (quietly sad) I thought of you the whole time.
Raj: All I’m saying is there’s a time to just listen.
Bernadette: Thank you.
Raj: There’s also a time to stop eating too many jelly beans. And it’s when you’re ten.
(Howard and Bernadette react at Raj and say nothing)

Barry Kripke: (enters Sheldon's office) There he is! (laughs) Ha! It's my favorite superhero, The Retractor!
Leonard: Come on, don't give him a hard time.
Barry Kripke: (to Sheldon) I'm sorry, Cooper. I retract it! (to Leonard) By the way, Hofstadter, nice job disproving the Chinese team.
Leonard: It's not a big deal.
Barry Kripke: It's a huge deal. Cooper, maybe physics just isn't your thing. Have you ever considered a career in retail? Then you could take things back for a living. (snickers)
Leonard: Barry, that's enough.
Sheldon: No, that's alright. I am capable of fighting my own battles. Isn't that right, "Bawwy"?
Kripke: Is, is that a reference to my speech impediment? That's pretty hurtful.

Sheldon: To really understand the story here, we need to start at the very beginning. A small town in East Texas where a young genius named -
Leonard: - Sheldon!
Sheldon: Yes, that's right, Sheldon Cooper. He was bitten by his neighbor's dog, leading to his first scientific breakthrough: the Doggy Death Ray. Which sadly he couldn't build because Santa wouldn't bring him enriched uranium.

Penny: You know if we did a shot every time they said something embarrassing, this would be one hell of a drinking game.
Amy: Little early for alcohol, isn't it?
Sheldon: (on the radio) You know, I don't just say smart things about science, I also yodel. *Yodeling*
Amy: I'll get the vodka.

Bernadette: Aw! Raj did the dishes.
Howard: How do you know I didn’t do them?
Bernadette: (smiling crossly) Because once, when all the knives were dirty, you cut a bagel with your keys.
Raj: Good morning, everybody. I picked up coffee while I was out. Bernadette, here’s your soy peppermint mocha.
Bernadette: Aw, you didn’t have to do that.
Raj: Oh, my pleasure, and don’t worry about your presentation today. You’re gonna be great.
Howard: Yeah, you’re gonna knock it out of the park.
Bernadette: (asking Howard crossly) What presentation do I have today?
Howard: Just go.
Raj: He loves you.
Howard: What are you doing? Are you trying to make me look bad?
Raj: I’m just being a good house guest.
Howard: No, you’re being a better husband than I am. Doing the dishes, getting coffee, knowing about her life, who does that?
Raj: Oh, come on, I brought you one, too.
Howard: I don’t want coffee.
Raj: That’s why I got you hot chocolate.
Howard: Give me that. Just stop showing me up.
Raj: Howard, listen to me. You’re a great husband. Yes, your listening skills could use some work. But it’s amazing how far you’ve come given that you’re an only child raised by an over-protective mom.
Howard: Um, is this getting weird?
Raj: Hang on.
Howard: So, yes.

Sheldon: But none of you know what this is like. Being celebrated for something you wish you never did.
Penny: You clearly haven't been with me at Mardi Gras.

(The scene at Howard and Bernadette's apartment where Raj, Howard and Bernadette are having dinner together).
Bernadette: Raj this dinner was amazing. If you’re here much longer, I’m going to have to buy bigger clothes.
Raj: Nonsense. You need a little fattening up. You've been looking too skinny lately
Bernadette: Ah. Howie, how come you never say anything sweet like that?
Howard: What are you talking about? Remember last week when I asked if you were wearing spanks and you weren't? How's that different?
(Bernadette turns rather cross at Howard's questions)
Bernadette: (she tells Howard off) Maybe you should try to be more thoughtful like your friend Raj.
Howard: Well, maybe you could try to be more like Raj.
Bernadette: (she's asking Howard crossly) Oh, really?
Howard: Yea. Yea. He packed me a lunch this morning and there was a note inside that said “Go get’em.”
(Bernadette scoffs with anger by this)
Bernadette: (she is now very, very cross) Like I don’t do enough around here? (Raj listening to the angry Bernadette) Now I need to pack your lunch? (Bernadette yelling angrily at Howard) And by the way, why do you need a note to telling you to “Go got’em". You’re a grown man; you should know “Go get’em”.
(Howard reacts at the "Mrs. Wolowitz" tone that Bernadette has used at the end of that sentence)
Howard: I do know to “Go get’em”, but sometimes it’s nice to have emotional support when I’m going and getting them.
(Raj coming back to the table and reassures them)
Raj: Hey. Hey. Do you hear yourself? (he sits down) No more. Calm down and take a step back.
(Bernadette now sighs in fury)
Bernadette: (she is still very cross) This is stupid. Why are we fighting?
Howard: I don’t know. I guess I was just feeling like I’m a lousy husband.
Bernadette: (she speaks sadly and crossly) You’re not a lousy husband. You’re a great husband. I was the one feeling like a lousy wife.
Howard: Are you kidding? You’re the best! I know what the problem is. It’s him.
(Raj looked shocked at Howard for a second)
Raj: Oh. What did I do?
Howard: You made it feel like we were not trying hard enough.
Bernadette: (now extremely cross with Raj) Yea. We were totally fine “half-assing” our marriage ‘til you showed up.
Raj: Look I’m sorry you’re upset with me, but I’d like to say it’s nice to see the two of you on the same page
Howard: It does feel good having you backing me up for once.
Bernadette: (she is still extremely cross) I back you up all the time.
Howard: That is not…You’re doing it again!
Bernadette: (she's gigantically angry with Raj for the final time) What is wrong with you?
(Raj reacts at the aggressive Howard and Bernadette)

(Raj at Apartment 4A with Penny and Leonard after Bernadette and Howard kick him out of their apartment)
Leonard: (surprised) I can’t believe they kicked you out.
Raj: (grumpy) I can’t believe they’re still married. (moans) Oh, no, I forgot Cinnamon’s toothbrush at Howard’s. I guess you’re sharing with Daddy again.
(Raj exits and Penny looks down at Cinnamon's crate)
Penny: (whispers to Cinnamon) Bark once if you need me to call PETA.
(Enter Sheldon and Amy)
Sheldon: What’s that animal doing in our apartment?
Leonard: (reassuring Sheldon) Oh, relax, she’s in her crate. She can’t get out.
Sheldon: I have two words for you, Jurassic Park. This day just keeps getting worse and worse.
Penny: You know, if it makes you feel any better…
Sheldon: It probably won’t.
Penny: You’re probably right.
Amy: Sheldon, it’s a beautiful night. Why don’t you and I go for a nice walk together?
Sheldon: Oh, everything is just sex with you isn’t it?
Raj: Sheldon, I think you might find the support you’re looking for if you realize that relationships are a give and take. She can only be there for you as much as you are for her.
Amy: Thank you, Rajesh.
Raj: And, Amy, you need to be patient with Sheldon, instead of pressuring him to accept intimacy on your terms.
Amy: (snaps at Raj crossly) You should probably go.

Penny: You know, if we did a shot every time they said something embarrassing, this would be one hell of a drinking game.
Amy: Little early for alcohol, isn't it?
Sheldon: (on the radio) You know, I don't just say smart things about science. I also yodel. (yodels)
Amy: I'll get the vodka.
