Introducing How We Made Your Mother Season 2!

It’s been 20 years since How I Met Your Mother premiered, and just over 10 years since the finale. Josh Radnor, who played “Ted” for nine seasons teams up with series co-creator Craig Thomas for this episode-by-episode rewatch podcast. For the superfans, HWMYM (listen to the trailer to learn how it’s pronounced) will get into all the secrets, theories, and pineapples, but we'll also use HIMYM – and our relationship to it two decades later – to talk about life and love and art and everything in between. How We Made Your Mother… a flashback podcast for a flashback show.  You can listen to all episodes of season 1 now, and join Josh and Craig as they dive into season 2!

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey everyone, I'm Josh Radner, and I am so excited
to tell you about How We Made Your Mother, a
rewatch podcast looking back episode by episode at the hit
TV show How I Met Your Mother. I played Ted
Moseby the I and How I Met Your Mother for
all nine seasons, and I'm here with Craig Thomas, who
co created the show along with Carter Bays. Hi.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Craig, Hey, Josh, somehow it has been twenty years since
the show premiere.

Speaker 3 (00:26):
I'm going to check the math on that. That seems wrong.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
Ten years since it went off the air, and we
thought that made this a perfect time to look back
see what the hell we did and why the show
still seems to resonate with fans around the world today.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
And we are thrilled to announce that we have now
joined the Office Ladies Network and are just beyond excited
to be working with Jenni Fisher and Angela Kinsey.

Speaker 4 (00:49):
And something we love about How We Made Your Mother
is the amazing community of this show, the fans and
people that write in.

Speaker 3 (00:56):
We think you guys are awesome.

Speaker 4 (00:58):
And I love when Josh and Craig get philosophical. I mean,
I love all the behind the scenes stories, But my
favorite is when Josh suddenly starts quoting Einstein or some
ancient philosopher and then he and Craig basically break down
the meaning of love or the power of friendship or
forgiveness or you name it.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
In season one of our podcasts, we had a great
time looking back at the twenty two episodes of Him
Yum's season one. I was so into him being with
Robin when he goes up in the suit and it's
really quite sexy for prime time just in terms of
like the way they're looking at each other. Yeah, but
the moment they come in love with you, I almost

(01:40):
was like what.

Speaker 3 (01:43):
Ashley Williams.

Speaker 5 (01:44):
Every time Josh and I had to kiss on the show,
I was very careful to have like boundaries, right like
every time we kiss, her would go like I had there.
The only way I can describe it possibly is like
hard lips.

Speaker 3 (01:58):
Hard lips.

Speaker 5 (02:00):
One time Josh was like, you kind of like are
like pushing me away with your mouth everything week.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
But I think what I was saying was and it
was very delicate what I was trying to do, which
was to say, how did you say this? I think
what I was saying was like, you're kissing me weird?

Speaker 3 (02:14):
Right, I think that's all I was saying. It was like,
you're kissing me weird. And our very own Kobe smolders.

Speaker 6 (02:20):
There are people who are our age who are like,
I remember being in my twenties watching the show and
you're like, yeah, same, same, like let and it feels
very like relatable. And then I'll meet somebody who's like fifteen,
I'm like, you were not alive.

Speaker 1 (02:36):
And now we are launching season two and while it
wouldn't be him um if we didn't keep a few secrets,
we can tell you that we'll be talking with Joe Manganello.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
People make me do that line to them a lot.
BT Duve, which is also another A breathe.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
And the amazing Brian Cranston. Whether it's How I Met
your Mother, whether it's breaking bad.

Speaker 4 (03:00):
The thing the question we always get asked is did
you know what was going to be a hit? I go,
no one ever knows.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
But what you do know, and what I do about
How I Met your Mother is that it was good.
