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 Mosby the I in 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, Craig.
Hey, Josh. Somehow, it has been 20 years since the show premiere.
I'm going to check the math on that. That seems wrong.
10 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.
And we are thrilled to announce that we have now joined the Office Ladies Network
and are just beyond excited to be working with Jenna Fisher and Angela Kinsey.
And something we love about how we made your mother
is the amazing community of this show.
The fans and people that write in,
we think you guys are awesome.
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.
In season one of our podcast,
we had a great time looking back at the 22 episodes of Himium's Season 1.
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 he says, I think I'm in love with you, I almost was like, what?
Ashley Williams?
Every time Josh and I had to kiss on the show, I was very careful to have like boundaries, right?
Like every time we kissed I would go like, oh.
Like I had the heart.
The only way I can describe it possibly is like hard lips.
Hard lips.
One time Josh was like, you kind of like are like pushing me away with your mouth every time we can.
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.
Right?
I think that's all I was saying.
It was like you're kissing me weird.
And our very own Kobe Smalders.
There are people who are our age who are like, I remember being in my 20s watching this show.
And you're like, yeah, same, same.
Like, and it feels very, like, relatable.
And then I'll meet somebody who's, like, 15.
I'm like, you were not alive.
And now we are launching season two.
And while it wouldn't be Himium if we didn't keep a few secrets,
we can tell you that we'll be talking with Joe Mangonello.
People make me do that line to them a lot.
B2DW, which is also another a breeze.
And the amazing Brian Cranston, whether it's How We Met Your Mother, whether it's Breaking Bad.
The question we always get asked is, did you know it was going to be a hit?
No one ever knows.
But what you do know and what I knew about how I met your mother is that it was good.
So check out our website, How We Made Your Mother.com, where you can send in voice messages and emails.
We love hearing from the fans.
