Ep 2. Time Travel

Rob & Big is a reality television series showcasing the lives of professional skateboarder Rob Dyrdek and his best friend and bodyguard, Christopher "Big Black" Boykin. The show captures their day-to-day activities and adventures as they navigate through the world of entertainment, skateboarding, and extreme sports.

Season 1 episode 2, titled "Time Travel," follows Rob and Big as they explore the idea of time travel. Rob, a self-proclaimed science fiction fan, becomes obsessed with the idea of time travel after watching the movie "Back to the Future." He convinces Big to help him build a time machine, determined to test his theory that time travel is possible.

The episode starts with Rob and Big in their kitchen, discussing the possibility of time travel. The conversation quickly turns into a brainstorming session, with Rob excitedly sketching out ideas for their time machine. Big looks on skeptically but eventually gets in on the fun, offering suggestions for how they can improve the machine's design.

Once Rob and Big have a rough plan in place, they begin gathering materials from around the house. They raid their closets for old clothes and accessories, scavenge the garage for scrap metal and electronics, and even raid the kitchen for food supplies (just in case they end up in a different time period without any snacks).

As they assemble the time machine, Rob and Big excitedly discuss all the different periods of time they could visit. They debate whether they should go back to the days of the dinosaurs or travel to the future to see what life is like in the year 3000. They also discuss the potential consequences of time travel, wondering if they could accidentally alter the course of history.

Despite lingering doubts about whether their time machine will actually work, Rob and Big remain determined to test it out. They decide to start with a small-scale test, using the machine to send a toy car back in time by just a few seconds.

The test doesn't go quite as planned, but Rob and Big remain undeterred. They continue to tinker with the machine and eventually succeed in sending a full-sized chair back in time by a few seconds.

The episode concludes with Rob and Big standing outside their house, ready to embark on a full-scale time travel adventure. They step into the machine, high-five each other, and activate the time circuits.

Whether or not Rob and Big actually travel through time is left up to the viewers' imaginations, but what is clear is that the two friends had a blast exploring the idea of time travel and building their own time machine.

Overall, "Time Travel" is a fun and lighthearted episode that showcases the playful dynamic between Rob and Big. The episode also highlights Rob's love of science fiction and his penchant for eccentric ideas, which are recurring themes throughout the series.
