    >> Hello.
  • 0:12 - 0:14
    I'm Dr. Sheldon Cooper.
  • 0:14 - 0:16
    Welcome to Sheldon Cooper Presents:
  • 0:16 - 0:17
    Fun With Flags
  • 0:17 - 0:20
  • 0:20 - 0:24
    Fun With Flags is not just for the flag aficionado.
  • 0:24 - 0:26
    It's also for the flag novice.
  • 0:26 - 0:28
    So, to help me with that,
  • 0:28 - 0:31
    please welcome my friend, neighbor, and flag virgin --
  • 0:31 - 0:38
    yet not a real virgin.....Penny.
  • 0:38 - 0:39
    >> [Penny] Hello.
  • 0:39 - 0:41
    >> So, Penny, I understand you would like
  • 0:41 - 0:42
    to learn more about flags.
  • 0:42 - 0:44
    >> Yep, I can't tell you how many times
  • 0:44 - 0:45
    I've been at a party where everyone
  • 0:45 - 0:47
    is talking about flags, and I just couldn't join in.
  • 0:47 - 0:49
  • 0:49 - 0:51
    >> Well, you came to the right place.
  • 0:51 - 0:54
  • 0:54 - 0:55
    >> I'm sorry.
  • 0:55 - 0:57
    Can we just pause for a minute.
  • 0:57 - 0:59
  • 0:59 - 1:00
    >> What's wrong?
  • 1:00 - 1:02
    >> I just think it might look more natural
  • 1:02 - 1:04
    if you talk to me instead of the camera.
  • 1:04 - 1:06
    You know like a real conversation.
  • 1:06 - 1:08
    It's something we work on in my acting class.
  • 1:08 - 1:10
    >> Interesting.
  • 1:10 - 1:12
    A few people in the comments section
  • 1:12 - 1:14
    have said that my delivery is robotic.
  • 1:14 - 1:17
  • 1:17 - 1:18
    Perhaps that isn't the compliment it sounds like.
  • 1:18 - 1:21
  • 1:21 - 1:21
    >> Let's try it again.
  • 1:21 - 1:22
    And maybe this time you could work
  • 1:22 - 1:24
    on your body language a bit.
  • 1:24 - 1:26
    You know when you're all hunched like that,
  • 1:26 - 1:27
    you're shutting the audience out,
  • 1:27 - 1:29
    but when you're relaxed and open,
  • 1:29 - 1:31
    you're inviting them in.
  • 1:31 - 1:32
    >> Right.
  • 1:32 - 1:34
  • 1:34 - 1:35
    And which one do I want?
  • 1:35 - 1:37
  • 1:37 - 1:38
    >> Let's try open.
  • 1:38 - 1:40
    >> Our friend the flags taught me anything,
  • 1:40 - 1:43
    it's to go where the wind takes you.
  • 1:43 - 1:45
    As long as you remain firmly attached to a rigid pole.
  • 1:45 - 1:48
    Good news.
  • 1:48 - 1:51
    The latest episode of Fun With Flags is online.
  • 1:51 - 1:52
    >> Oh, that's right.
  • 1:52 - 1:53
    How did it go with Penny?
  • 1:53 - 1:55
    >> Much better than I expected.
  • 1:55 - 1:59
    She even gave me some helpful tips about acting and body language.
  • 1:59 - 2:01
    Watch.
  • 2:01 - 2:03
    Welcome to my world.
  • 2:03 - 2:05
  • 2:05 - 2:07
    Not welcome to my world.
  • 2:07 - 2:09
  • 2:09 - 2:10
    Welcome.
  • 2:10 - 2:11
    Not welcome.
  • 2:11 - 2:13
  • 2:13 - 2:15
    >> Subtle, but powerful.
  • 2:15 - 2:16
    >> I know.
  • 2:16 - 2:17
    I'm still learning to control it.
  • 2:17 - 2:19
  • 2:19 - 2:21
    >> Did you tell Penny how helpful she was?
  • 2:21 - 2:22
    >> Why would I do that?
  • 2:22 - 2:25
    >> Because she's your friend,
  • 2:25 - 2:26
    and she did a nice job.
  • 2:26 - 2:27
    I'm sure she'd like to hear it.
  • 2:27 - 2:29
  • 2:29 - 2:33
    >> Alright.
