One day you’ll meet a girl,” Shatner tells him. Shatner and the NBA legend are arguing about one thing, Smith and Manganiello are arguing about using force or conversation to solve another issue (“Big surprise, Podcast here wants to talk,” the actor says), and when they ask Leonard what he thinks, all he can do is giggle and say this is the greatest day of his entire life. Game night arrives, and a pan around the room reveals Wheaton, Shatner, Joe Manganiello, Smith, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. With the stipulation that he can’t tell anyone, including Howard and Raj - and especially Sheldon - that he’s on the guest list. With Stuart out, there’s an open spot for the next game night, so Wheaton extends an invitation. Howard then busts out his Shatner and Christopher Walken impressions in a call to Wheaton to try to recon info on the next game night, but the former Wesley Crusher is on to him. They pressure him into spilling details, filling him with so much anxiety that he calls Wheaton and tells him he doesn’t want to return for the next game.

Undeterred, a damp Sheldon rushes home to tell the guys about this new development, which sends them on a whiteboard and chart theory exploration of Wheaton’s career, to suss out who else he knows and has worked with, in hopes of guessing what other celebrities could be D&D-ing at his house. When Wil realizes Sheldon realizes who’s in the house, he slams the door shut.

Proton kids’ TV show, where he introduces the couple as real scientists who may be the next winners of a Nobel Prize.
