[0:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/x9zk6tnE1Krc/en/howard-meets-elon-musk-at-a-thanksgiving-shelter?t=6) Sorry? Y- you're Elon Musk. I am.

[0:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/x9zk6tnE1Krc/en/howard-meets-elon-musk-at-a-thanksgiving-shelter?t=18) W- what are you doing here? I'm washing dishes.

[0:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/x9zk6tnE1Krc/en/howard-meets-elon-musk-at-a-thanksgiving-shelter?t=23) Well, I was on the turkey line, but I got demoted for being too generous with the gravy.

[0:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/x9zk6tnE1Krc/en/howard-meets-elon-musk-at-a-thanksgiving-shelter?t=31) Oh, man, I, what an honor to meet you. I, I, I'm such a fan of Tesla and SpaceX, all your companies. I'm Howard Wolowitz, Caltech.

[0:44](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/x9zk6tnE1Krc/en/howard-meets-elon-musk-at-a-thanksgiving-shelter?t=44) Nice to meet you, Howard. It feels great to come down here and help the less fortunate, huh?

[0:49](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/x9zk6tnE1Krc/en/howard-meets-elon-musk-at-a-thanksgiving-shelter?t=49) Oh, yeah. Nothing better than helping people, which is something I realized when I was viewing Earth from the deck of the International Space Station, where I spent two months as a payload specialist, a job I was qualified for because I'm an MIT-trained engineer.

[1:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/x9zk6tnE1Krc/en/howard-meets-elon-musk-at-a-thanksgiving-shelter?t=78) And I thought I ladled the gravy on thick.

[1:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/x9zk6tnE1Krc/en/howard-meets-elon-musk-at-a-thanksgiving-shelter?t=83) Sorry. It's just you're you, and I really want you to adopt me.

[1:30](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/x9zk6tnE1Krc/en/howard-meets-elon-musk-at-a-thanksgiving-shelter?t=90) Well, you're here on Thanksgiving, so you're probably a good person.

[1:33](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/x9zk6tnE1Krc/en/howard-meets-elon-musk-at-a-thanksgiving-shelter?t=93) Oh, I made my wife come down, too. You think you might ever get back out to space?

[1:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/x9zk6tnE1Krc/en/howard-meets-elon-musk-at-a-thanksgiving-shelter?t=101) Is that a job offer? 'Cause I really wanna go to Mars, assuming I can bring my wife. She hardly takes up any room.

[1:48](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/x9zk6tnE1Krc/en/howard-meets-elon-musk-at-a-thanksgiving-shelter?t=108) She's basically a carryon. Well, we're not quite there yet, but we're always looking for engineers, so let me give you my email. We can stay in touch.

[1:58](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/x9zk6tnE1Krc/en/howard-meets-elon-musk-at-a-thanksgiving-shelter?t=118) Thank you.

[2:02](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/x9zk6tnE1Krc/en/howard-meets-elon-musk-at-a-thanksgiving-shelter?t=122) Oh, look, someone hardly touched their pumpkin pie. Wanna share it with me?

[2:10](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/x9zk6tnE1Krc/en/howard-meets-elon-musk-at-a-thanksgiving-shelter?t=130) A, a partially eaten piece of pumpkin pie from a homeless shelter with Elon Musk? You bet I do.
