Starting point is 00:02:18 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 premiered. 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
Starting point is 00:03:00 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,
Starting point is 00:03:28 we had a great time looking back at the 22 episodes of Himyam 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 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.
Starting point is 00:04:00 Like I had this 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 get together. 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?
Starting point is 00:04:22 I think that's all I was saying. It was like, you're kissing me weird. And our very own Kobe Smulders. 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. And it feels very, like, relatable. And then I'll meet somebody who's, like, 15. I'm like, you were not alive.
