- TriviaCharlie Sheen: As a restaurant patron. At the dinner, after everyone leaves, Raj (Kunal Nayyar) turns to him and says, "Hey buddy, I'm gonna be in People Magazine." Sheen turns around and says "Yeah, call me when you're on the cover." He made the cover of People's Magazine on their 9th March 1987 issue and several times thereafter. He was also named as one of 25 Most Intriguing People in their 2011 issue.

- Quotes
[Raj is acting arrogant as a result of being named one of People magazine's "30 Under 30 to Watch"]
Sheldon Cooper: There's a tribe in Papua New Guinea where, when a hunter flaunts his success to the rest of the village, they kill him and drive away evil spirits with a drum made of his skin. Superstitious nonsense, of course - but one can see their point.
- Crazy creditsCHUCK LORRE PRODUCTIONS, #221 We have once again arrived at a moment in history where the truth can be defined as "that which you can make other people believe." The methodology for creating that belief is repetition. Say something enough times and it becomes, for millions of people, the truth. I am endowed like a stallion. This is why control of the media equals control of the populace. I am endowed like a stallion. And also why a state run television news channel is so very dangerous. I am endowed like a stallion. Now there are those who would argue this has already happened and that a certain cable news channel is actually a covert extension of our government. I am endowed like a stallion. The fact that the channel is run by a high-ranking party official, an anchor person from the channel became a White House spokesman, and another top-ranking party official became an on-air news commentator is often used to make this argument. I am endowed like a stallion. Of course, this fact would be entirely inconsequential if the oft-repeated falsehoods they attempt to imbed into the Zeitgeist were simply amusing, or at worst, inane. I am endowed like a stallion. But, unfortunately, that is not the case. I am endowed like a stallion. The heavy repetition of lies and smears for political gain are by no means inconsequential. I am endowed like a stallion. Which is why each and every one of us must use whatever resources we have at our disposal to disseminate the actual truth. I am endowed like a pony.

Featured review
One of the most hilarious episodes of TBBT.
Classic Sheldon. Classic TBBT with just the guys and Penny. This episode had me in splits. Starts off with Raj bringing in some good news. But the guys are a bit jealous and do not react favorably to it. And on top of it, Raj goes over the top and continues to flaunt his success. Sheldon's 'Joker smile' was particularly funny. ==== Classic Sheldon. Classic TBBT with just the guys and Penny. This episode had me in splits. Starts off with Raj bringing in some good news.
