  • Hoping repetitive feedback makes a difference

    Similar to other comments, wish there was more structure and breakdown like an actual rewatch podcast. I like their banter and like the personal stories they are sharing, but office ladies format does it best. Though HIMYM was always my favorite sitcom!

    I’m only a few episodes in so it could have refined by now and I am unaware, but if not, I hope their team takes our repetitive comments and makes improvements

  • HWMYM: Chef’s Kiss

    I love the HWMYM pod. I love this show, and this rapid fire paced, floodgates breached volume of new shows dropping world we live in I kind of forgot about it, and then heard of this podcast from The Office Ladies and am now rewatching (3rd time) the show and swimming in this wonderful pod.

    If you like HIMYM, you’ll love HWMYM.

  • Perfection

    HWMYM is perfection. It reminded me how much I love this show. It’s become my comfort podcast (and I’ve got a regular roster of about 10!). In fact we just got a new puppy and we named him Ted Mosby (of course just Ted or Teddy for short - but maybe THEODORE EVELYN MOSBY if he’s naughty!). Keep doing what you’re doing! Will you bring back the bonus episodes? Oh and the NYC song is the BEST!!

  • Exactly what fans want

    3 episodes in and finding it highly entertaining. I watched the entire run of the show, and loved it. For whatever reason, it never made it as a rewatch show for me (compared to The Office, where I’ve see each episode a minimum 15 times, most far more). But I began one about 6 months ago, hadn’t finished, and now need to just go back and watch with along with this podcast. This excites me.

    One wish? That nobody involved with this podcast intends to use the Radnor NYC song for the entire run. Th... more

  • A Little More Structure…

    …and a little less treacle is what this podcast needs. I don’t need a rundown of every beat of the episode, but if the guys worked off of an outline instead of wandering through their notes at random, it would help keep things focused. And speaking of focus, is this a podcast about a sitcom, or are we all going to therapy? I’ve heard a lot about attachment style. I’ve heard nothing about Wendy the Waitress. And I may be to only one, but I skip most of the letters from these kids trying to channe... more

How Marshall Met the Apocalyptic Wasteland | S2E2 "The Scorpion and the Toad"
Q: Did you write Barney that way as someone who can't escape his nature or someone making a choice to hurt Marshall anyway?
Barney's actions are more driven by compulsion than choice, presenting a darker side to his character that's crucial for the storyline.
Presenting: Life in Seven Songs with Guest Josh Radnor
Q: I guess my very last question is, has Ted Mosby taught you anything?
He has taught me about timing and that life is a negotiation with the universe.
Presenting: Life in Seven Songs with Guest Josh Radnor
Q: So how did you first start pursuing music after that experience?
I became friends with Ben Lee, who encouraged my music and helped me learn about songwriting.
Presenting: Life in Seven Songs with Guest Josh Radnor
Q: Tell me about that.
It gave me some creative and financial freedom but made me feel collapsed into one identity.
General Questions | S1E19 "Mary the Paralegal"
Q: How much damage do we do to our relationships when we make assumptions instead of asking the hard questions? And why is pretending always easier than being vulnerable?
The hosts acknowledge the complexity of this question, suggesting it could be better answered by an expert and sharing insights about how many plots in movies stem from avoiding hard conversations.
