Hey, Josh. Somehow it has been 20 years since the show premiered. I'm gonna check the math on that. That seems wrong. 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.

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 HIMYIM season one. I was so into him being with Robin when he goes up in the suit, and it's really quite sexy for primetime just in terms of, like, the way they're looking at each other.
C
Ye.

He says, I think I'm in love with you. I almost was like, what Ashley Williams.
E
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. Like, I had, like, hard. The only way I can describe it possibly is, like, hard lips.
F
Hard lips.
E
One time, Josh was like, you kind of, like, are, like, pushing me away with your mouth every time we.
B
But I think what I was saying was. And it was very delicate what I was trying to do, which was to.
C
Say, how did you say this?
B
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.
C
And our very own Coby Smulders.
E
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, let. And it feels very, like, relatable. And then I'll meet somebody who's like, 15. I'm like, you were not alive.
B
And now we are launching season two. And while it wouldn't be himyim if we didn't keep a few secrets, we can tell you that we'll be talking with Joe Manganiello.
C
People make me do that line to them a lot, btw, which is also another a breeze.
B
And the amazing Bryan Cranston.

Whether it's how I met your mother, whether it's breaking bad, the thing 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.
