Mary discovers Georgie's illegal gambling room | Young Sheldon Season 5 Episode 8 

Georgie is smart, so is Missy. Unfortunately Mary seems to be that kind of parent who only see grades and nothing else matters. If you don't ace at school you're just dumb. So she's basically worshipping Sheldon and her other kids are just inconvenience.

How did he outsmart George?

Any children has the duty to be smarter than their parents.

@@nolixss694 He told his dad that the machines pay out "all the time", trying to get him to gamble his money i.e. earn himself more money

Amen for that😄

Missy not saying anything is peak awesome

Missy rules 😂😂😂

Yed den of sin😂

And she knows that chapps Marys ass cuz Mary can't control her. 😆

Well she’s not wrong

good name for a bar.

Thats actually good name for a casino or strip club 😂

Her mother played Mary on Big Bang Theory

thats her specialty pretty much

Yep, she really knows how to act like a religious crazy lady, and her mom has the same actoral quality in The Big Bang Theory.

She's very talented.

@Christopher Bingham Again; man, I love your commenting. Keep doing it, please.

It was really funny. The amount of chill the man has, exact opposite of his wife!

lol

@@noma6214 Because George Sr is not a religious man. Just a non religious Texan who loves his beer, brisket, and football.

Most of the time George doesn't put up with Marys holier than thou bullshit but it's ok for her to smoke cigarettes with the sexy young youth pastor oh and she drinks beer too.

Look at me! I won $2!

she may not realise it, but it’s true. She thinks is what she is doing is right but she cause it all

My mother until me & my big sister broke away & did our stuff happily lmao 😂 now she keeps asking for "financial help"

That and how she always favored Sheldon, but never believed in Georgie or Missy.

Typical of a religious woman

I thought it was Sheldon

It's kinda a thing, whenever a father finally takes his hands off his children's decisions and it's no longer his thing, a relationship heals more often than not. They become a support role, to be there when their decisions come back to bite.

Every one in the family has great chemistry and they all bond together nicely when the situation is right, problem is the situation is never right

Well, they will bond even more after SPOILER Georgie gets Mandy pregnant

hey

A win is a win

So lucky!

Not lucky, crafty!

aha we hav armys everywhere

missy has great comic timing

And he got one of them pregnant.

My issue is she only does it when she's trying cover her own mistakes

Mary wouldn't give a shit if missy just shut her mouth

Bruh its a tv show.

​@rusosingam6220 Well you can have fun in the real world then, leave us alone.

So are alcohol and tobacco but it wouldn't be a moral problem if Georgie worked at a store where those are sold.

@@Javitomanzano I think gambling in some ways can be worse and easier to spiral someone down the wrong way. If you see someone is drunk and clearly has had too much or is not the appropriate age, then you can refuse service to them because otherwise you are morally culpable for potentially harming that person's liver forever. Perhaps even killing them. Not personally but you may feel like you indirectly did. Gambling gives you hits of dopamine and relies on drawing you into spend more money and gambling places don't ask you your limit exactly to then get you to stop and not bankrupt yourself. No, there is no limit on gambling consumption because it's so absorbing and people easily find themselves feeling a false sense of achievement or edge of closeness and it becomes a vicious cycle. Some people are more susceptible to the vicious draw of gambling addiction. Unlike with Alcohol, there is no stop button and the employees who run the gambling don't care about your financial situation. They only want your money. With bartenders or shop owners they have a degree of control over your intake. Not full so alcoholism is still possible and dangerous, but there are a few... buffers to it shall we say. But yeah, Georgie is right that you cannot control how others spend their money.

must be white trying to fit in racial profiling, saying neighter instead of neither

@@JustAnotherPerson4U Gambling, you run the risk of addicts believing if they play one more time they will make a full recovery and then some (chasing losses). You don't hear alcoholics saying: if I drink one more time, my liver will heal instantly. Since Young Sheldon doesn't have a lot of time per episode, all they do is make small, clever, silly, individual statements from both sides to avoid blatantly picking sides or boring the audience with debate details. When Missy brought up the problem of evil (watching 10 commandments), they left the viewers to answer the question for themselves.

Which is likely what frustrated Mary so much. She couldn't really deny his logic. So while it is illegal and maybe morally wrong, it's also the choice of the gamblers to spend. So her only recourse is to call the cops on her mother and son if she wants to stop it, lol!

I know, right? I gave it a shot because, at times - though not always - I enjoyed watching TBBT, not really expecting that much from the show, but when I think about it, I probably enjoy its writing more than TBBT's.

@@iamr.o.b.therobot The lack of laughing track every 5 seconds and constant sex jokes helps a lot.

@@ernimuja6991Ong tbbt had 2 much of that

@@astathaone2742 different times

@@ernimuja6991the laughing sound ruins a lot of it for me haha, this is nice to see a sitcom without them

I read somewhere there mother and daughter

That's because they are mother and daughter in real life

@@laura-1043they are

I learned that information from reading comments like these.

​@@laura-1043yes they are

But Mary never says that about her two other children! She only thinks Sheldon is the smartest over them all. It's just sad.

George is the man 😂

@@robertjc4195 I know, he said that in the show.

THEY never invited me*

I can see her point though, gambling can hurt some people. Her character makes sense and their reaction makes sense.

@@MrSirFluffy The point everyone makes about her character is that it's okay to have your beliefs. It's not okay to force your beliefs on everyone else. I'd have a gambling problem if I went to a casino (I've been to Vegas and lost all my money) but I know that other people have better self control. I won't go telling anyone else not to do it unless they have a problem too.

It’s called being a Zealot, very common in the Christian community😂

@@wilfredoelias3819 Zealotry as become far more common in individuals who treat leftwing politics as their religion.

@@wilfredoelias3819 Its called being a wife 😂

Yeah

You got it right!

Yeah but she kinda had a point here. Running an illegal casino is dangerous

@@megabladechronicles962People do illegal things all the time. I don’t even think they learn anything from it.

@@megabladechronicles962 its not illegal tho georgie has a loophole

⁠@@Kamfysthat gambling room is not licensed or even registered.

Young

Real

​@@garfieldfan925dumb😂😂

Uou g

Bruhh

Which is hilarious considering that's what Missy is a genius at

@@dannysanchez3525 Is she?

she is a good mother

Leonard’s mom was a psychologist and she’s a horrible mother. And least Mary is loving and doesn’t experiment on her children

@@thelonetacoj6487 touche! Looks like both type of parents are bad. Lol

Also if you include current events, nixing out the Nobel prize (which honestly means nothing unless ya count the million dollars that go with it) Georgie is more successful than Sheldon, guy runs a Tire empire that goes across all of Texas, his business has got to be worth millions and he’s at the front of it.

@@kevindolan9 "the Nobel means nothing" is probably the biggest joke I've ever heard 😂. Probably its meaning is incomprehensible to an average person like you, but the works done by Nobel laureates might have saved millions of people. And honestly, do you really think a few millions are anything to a Nobel prize winner? The one million dollar prize is just the beginning. People paid famous researchers to give talks, consult on projects, even just borrow their names. Many tenured professors in my field have raised hundred of millions dollar for their research. People in Silicon Valley are willing to write million-dollar check for Stanford PhD students for start-ups, let alone a Nobel laureates. I'm sure that Sheldon will have a much more comfortable life than Georgie, even though his net worth might be less (if he wants, Sheldon can exceed Georgie anytime, but a lot people prefer to work on research instead of managing an entrepreneurship).

@B Well he is still under their roof. Until that ends and he is able to say "butt out or i wont talk to you anymore" (and mean it) His parents will still feel empowered to say what they want, when they want.

Yeah, I guess that's what drug dealers say as well. Not that I have a problem with that.

@@kevindolan9 you have a strange view of success " the Nobel means nothing " You're obliviously not a bright person

I'm with you. And that Gramma they call Mema--is she cute or what?

Feel the same

Same

@James Hughes how old are you?

@@tagumcity6301 71

He's not wrong!

Lol georgie is so dumb.😂

Yeah finally put in her place since she goes crazy all the time

@B Nah, Motherhood is hard everywhere when the Mother coddles ones of her children while being a religious fanatic. Mary sees nothing but Sheldon, the older they get the more she coddles him, while the more Georgie and Missy are left to their own they go astray and start finding acceptance in other things, G and M can't even talk about their problems to her without getting dragged into a religious lecture or lesson Leonards mother in TBBT was right "Read a new book woman". Just look how they turned out, Sheldon, a grown man-child, scared of everything new, paranoid, egotistical knowitall and so on. Geogie, happy, successful owner of his own chain of stores, has one of the best running businesses around, is basically living his life. This is because of George encouraging him to find himself, he didn't overly force Geogie to study and basically told him to do what he loved and boy is he doing it. Missy got the short end of the stick, when they were young, she got the least attention as, she missed her chances in life and wasn't really able to do anything with herself, if anything things only got worse for the poor girl after George passed away as from what we know, Mary doubled down on sheltering and coddling Sheldon while Geogie had to stand up and take care of them all, Missy was mostly left to herself.

Wtf she was protecting her son

Finally someone put her in her place

@Christopher Bingham My dude, you have a problem if you can state exact episodes. Find something better to do with your life

Agree

Ohhhh you are a man who likes old fashioned TV shows

100%

Because there aren't any background laughter unlike Big bang T. That noise is annoying that it kills the humor.

Agree. Much better.

Slot machines are fun...especially when you win!

Nah missy goes “I’m in my rOOM”

You know she closed a different door 😆🤣

I love Missy

@@ethrsag735 Funny but Mary knows the sound of the doors in their home.

LOL

I have no idea who Jerry O Connell is, but he does have a look of Patrick Swayze

@@kaykendall3659 he plays adult georgie

Montana looks like Patrick swayze,

​​@@kaykendall3659 He's the husband of Rebecca Romijn (original Mystique) and played Georgie in TBBT.

Even 30 years ago, $2 wasn’t very much money lol.

I like the "sucker" face G jr. gives after that more :)

I never noticed him struggling to deliver his lines. He was great delivering his lines. He memorized all of the scientific jargon perfectly.

And the lady waiting for her laundry went from being bored to smiling...and then she was gone ....Just like I would have been!! LOL

@@stormwatcher59 hahahahaha!

They are my three favorite characters!

Unless the church owns the machines, then god gets his cut.

@@gregrowe1168 of course, “God’s cut” goes on the pastor’s new Ferrari 😂

@@darko-man8549 You've obviously never seen the preaching power of a V-12

Slots are fun......churches don't even pay taxes!

All the money a church gets is tax free.

Meemaw is cool.

@@SymphonyBrahms to us yeah but for Mary she most likely has some negative feelings towards the situation. It's understandable though since it could've been a traumatic experience for her at the time.

That's not a bad theory.

@@GalaxyRoseOfficial in season 1, Meemaw said she had to work two jobs so her husband could lose money on photo mats.

@@dayschange2 maybe you could say it was a Big Bang Theory, heh?

There was an episode she questioned her faith. A teenage girl died and she did have a breakdown. Sheldon actually had to talk to her saying there is always the possibility of a God and he will believe in that statistic. It was a good episode

@@danatedawg1018 That was a very kind gesture on his part. I look forward to seeing that episode then.

end last season and beginning this season she and george did have a parenting dispute wich also is a good watch

These people are as far from spiritual as they are from sanity.

Yet Mary raises a good point that gambling destroys many lives.

True, I mean hell most states have a state run lottery which is literally just gambling

george at that moment reminded of homer for some reason.

Oh man, some of the new machines at these gamerooms you can easily win over $800 as long as you put $200-$500 in. Just keep your bets high and you’ll always walk out ahead. The ones that put in money and lose are the small betting people, 50¢ bets are cheap but you usually lose unless you hit the major prize which isn’t probable.

Knight PaulMan it works sometimes. People are usually afraid to play that way though. And many people just can’t afford to risk that much money. I’m in Illinois, we have small slot rooms everywhere. $4 max bet but all the way down to 30 or 40 cents minimum bet, depending on the game. I have gotten down, put a couple more hundred in, upped to max bet and got a good win and came out ahead many times.

Then meemaw and Georgie would never speak to her again.

2 dollars wasn’t even a lot of money back then lol.

@@gregrowe1168 I assume that the slot machine accept penny coins size. $2 is a big gain.

Be Strong Penny slot doesn’t mean a one penny bet, that’s just the denomination. Usually people bet much more than that, even on minimum bet. 40 or 50 cents is pretty typical. At those bets, $20 wins are pretty common. I won $240 on a bonus once on a 40 cent bet.

@@gregrowe1168 Thank you for insight I live in where’s grembling illegal by law.

he also put his foot in the grave

Well she knows she cant push Mee maw around but thought Georgie would be easier to deal with

It's not her business dealing with either of them

@@joyfullyplantbased7663 Underage Son. It is her business where he's involved.

In many ways the best thing that can happen to someone gambling for the first time is to lose. Not so bad that it destroys them, but bad enough that it hurts (Like a month of eating ramen noodles, having to sell a prized possession to cover the rent, having to work a 2nd job on your days off, etc.). Often that stops them from doing it again. Seems like many who win the first time get such a rush from it, that they want to chase that feeling and because they won once they feel like they will get even the next time or get ahead, and usually they just get deeper and deeper in the hole.

Tbf she has clothed and fed them, and just wants the best for them. There are a lot worse parents out there.

She’s trying to be a good parent, and thinks she is. That’s better than many these days.

​@@D4n1t0otbf that is bare minimum

​@@D4n1t0oI absolutely despise this logic. Giving your kids food and shelter and clothes is the BARE MINIMUM of human decency. It doesn't make your kids owe you anything, and it certainly doesn't automatically make you a respectable parent. It just makes you human.

@@kirin1230 You just sound incredibly privileged tbh.

Memo? MEEMAW!! Doesn't anybody look at what they type?

@@Rumkitty2000 There is an invention named autocorrect that changes what you type to what it thinks is correct. Anyhow, it's my comment I write as I wish, you have the right to nag as u wish

And he becomes Dr. Tire

You don't understand Mary. Since she actually believes in God, she'd be the last person to call the cops because she doesn't think they have a necessary role in society

@@darthparallax5207 ohhhh OK I figured if she thought it was sinful and wrong she'd call cops to shut it down to save her mum and baby

@@koradestiny I mean, Meemaw *did* already tell her, they and cops had an "understanding" so they probably would just ignore her lol

If he said that to a real Southern mom he'd be picking himself up off the floor afterwards.

Sure, but if someone wants to wreck their own life, that their business. Honestly, I don't see any difference between gambling and, say, buying stock (especially on-margin). At least with gambling, you know right away if you won or lost...

@@Robert-hz9bj Though not to be ove5r strict like mary, Georgie is still not an adult and yes as a parent it's their duty to show the right path.

@@keriddunk1520 Legally, he is. And its one thing for her to tell him she thinks what he's doing is wrong. She's entitled to her opinion. But she has no right to barge into his place of business, where he makes the very rent money he pays her, and demand he quit.

Not for the majority of people. Some people will always find something to get addicted to, it's just a weak character that doesn't know when to stop or say enough! There are compulsive shoppers who rack up huge debts, Alchoholics, Sex Addicts, etc. But most people don't have these problems and know when they've reached their limit and can stop any time.

Never invited me 😎

@@SW-fk7eq he’s so funny I agree
