The Big Bang Theory Theory
Nick and Kyle break down the nuances of The Big Bang Theory and critique its place both in nerd culture and within our own hearts. Also we try as hard as we can to talk about the actual show as little as possible, and instead go on long tangents about the nerdy things we're actually interested in.
Episode 220 - Table Scraps
Maybe the writers were negotiating their pay during this period because they sure as well weren't drafting whole episodes.
BONUS - Nick Ponders a Future Examining the Past
If we are doomed to a life of infinite suffering, we can at least choose what suffering we shall endure.
Episode 219 - Leftovers
For real I think this one's just salvaged footage from other incomplete episodes.
Episode 218 - Sheldon Is Horny and It's Weird
I don't think we make that clear enough. Sheldon nasty.
Episode 217 - Mobius Meatballs
Any other configuration of these characters would make a better show than whatever the hell they're doing.
Episode 216 - The Advantage Haver
Denzel Washington rules.
Episode 215 - Sheldon Does the Flamenco
We didn't even mention that Sheldon does the Flamenco!
Episode 214 - Omar and The Mouz
Technically a good episode but dang why can't we have more of The Wire?
Episode 213 - I'd Rather Put a Gun in My Mouth
I swear, we're still having fun!
Episode 212- Raj and Stuart Should Kiss
The title says it all, baby!
Episode 211 - TOO REAL
Instead of escaping reality, this episode reminds everyone how adding a laugh track wouldn't really make your miserable life any funnier.
Episode 210 - The Misery
This episode stinks! Fortunately, technical difficulties have granted us (and you!) sweet release.
Episode 209 - A True Beginning
Nick thinks this is a perfect episode so let's just let him have this one.
Episode 208 - False Start REDUX
I swear I wasn't trying to commit to the False Start title, I was just so carried away by soup that I accidentally released our last bonus episode as a main feed episode. So here's the REAL first episode of the season, and now you also have an idea of that hot soup content you're missing if you're not on our bonus feed at: patreon.com/tbbtt
Episode 208 - False Start
This isn't the worst episode but Nick is confident the production is unravelling.
Episode 207 - This Show Is Secretly Good
You just have to rely on actors who aren't part of the main cast.

This show sucks but it turns out Stuart is by far the funniest character on board.

I guess this is a Game of Thrones episode? OF ILL PORTENT

Raj tries to steal the joy of pregnancy from Wolowtiz and Bernie. Meanwhile, we learn that Leonard is secretly hoarding money, that Sheldon is a great lay, and that no one ever actually finishes Final Fantasy Tactics.
Episode 202 - PS Bacon
We've cracked it open. This is sitcom version of mayonnaise. Which is weird because I usually love mayonnaise. Maybe it's more like white bread... But I love that too! AGHGH
Episode 201 - TWO CHICKS AT ONCE?!?
Raj is juggling babes and everyone is acting like that isn't the most exciting thing that's ever happened in this whole series.
Episode 200 - BAM BOOM KAPOW
Adam West is the Adam best.
Episode 199 - People Love Tiki Bars
But why? I didn't even talk about it in the episode, but a scene takes place in a tiki bar, and, that's cool but for real what's up with tiki culture? I get it, it's fun, but, why of all things has it persevered?
BONUS - Kyle Gets Waxed (Philosophically)
For the first time ever, we've lost an episode. And while I'm ashamed that I cannot bring you the joy that comes from Kyle's enthusiasm for Superman, I can at least bring you his love of thinking about philosophy stuff.
Also, please support the show so we can afford a producer: patreon.com/tbbtt
Episode 198 - Gifted Porsche
We've hit a new peak of not talking about the episode. You're welcome!
Episode 197 - Meemaw Shaft
Sheldon's grandma shows up and carries on the show's noble tradition of having mom characters that are cooler than any of the main cast. Also Raj is gonna smooch a blonde lady.
Episode 196 - Social Studies
Nick gets sensitive about friend dynamics. Meanwhile, if you listen closely enough, you can hear the plastic squeaking of Kyle's cool new Transformers toy. Also we watch a TV show.
Episode 195 - Coming In Hard with the Moms
Amidst our ramblings about each of us accepting our own neurodivergence, we talk a bit about this dumb show and all of its good moms.
