What is the premise of the “We’re Not From Here” episode and why does it feel like a classic sitcom?
Amal. What a pity I will be soon. New York City. When I see you Please permit me to tell you everything. New York City.
Hello and welcome to How We Made Your Mother. I am uh Josh Radner. I co-host this podcast with my dear friend Craig Thomas, who I'm staring at right now and he looks terrific. Hi, Craig.
Hi Josh. Wow. I know I'm now I'm blushing. And I I love what a good actor you are. I almost believe that. Almost.
Well, today we're talking about we're we're already we're ro we're rolling into season three. It's unbelievable. It's going too fast. We're already on episode two. Can you believe it? We're in episode two. This episode is called
We're Not From Here.
And it was it first aired. Alec, tell us. Look at this.
We're actually doing this before the ten minute mark. This is the fucking first We're starting by saying the orienting topic sentence.
Go ahead. It first aired on October on October first, two thousand seven, written by Chris Harris.
Chris the great the great Chris Harris. The great Chris Harris. Always fun. Uh his episodes always have a few things in them that I'm like only Chris could've could've really.
Right, right. Yeah. Uh before we uh launch into this really fun episode, um, I just want to say, Craig. I see you when we obviously do this. And one of the the reasons I wanted to do this podcast was we would get to spend more time together. We yeah now both live in New York. Uh we love each other. We love spending time together. I agree with all of them. But it's hard. It's hard in New York City. We've got families, we've got uh you know, business stuff, you know, professional stuff going on.
Yeah.
Um it's very hard to uh to see each other. Craig and I have been trying
Plan
a dinner. for a comically
like at least amount of time. Two months and counting, I think. I want to give
a shout out to Lola and Elliot, our assistants, who have just moved heaven and earth without us actually having dinner.
I mean we we have not achieved it. This was this was in February. This is now I mean, we're recording this in mid April and we haven't achieved it.
We have a dinner scheduled for next Wednesday. Next week. I know. I'm really and I have to tell you, I think I have to go to LA to shoot.
I might have to
cancel. You motherfucker. If I could tell you on the air, it would be less it could soften it.
It is it is a little better. It it actually is better. 'Cause if it was like over an email, I'd be like, God damn it!
When I saw that that was the date they landed on for me to have to do this thing, I was like, You've got to be kidding. Do
you wanna know what's I love that you felt the safest telling me this in podcast form. This is I just got I just got cancelled on on the podcast. This is really fucking happening. I like edit this all out.
I can't
have this on the record.
I want it badly. I want it badly.
is I think we initially canceled it and then we failed to reschedule it for there's many reasons it didn't come together since then. The initial time was we both thought we might be getting a little sick and we didn't get sick. No, no we should have just fucking done it.
Wrong. Okay. I was sick. I had RSV.
Were you oh you were actually I got really sick
and then my son got sick. So but you were literally about to get an US I was uh gonna go
I was going to leave. I see I thought you got that RSV later. Maybe that was the beginning of you getting that
weird and I canceled on you.
But was it tonight
also didn't be the night? Oh tonight was gonna be the night. We very
delete. The best part of this is this was going to be the dinner. And Alec was having a nightmarish time scheduling when we were gonna record this. And Josh said to me, Wouldn't it be funny if we told Alec we can't do the podcast because of the dinner? Should we just be eating dinner right now? If we had a plate full of food each with that, why don't we do like Jesse Jaly Ferguson's podcast where it is actually the podcast is the meaning? By the way, this is probably why he did it. He's like, It's we have this will force us to have. Yeah. Yeah. Um anyway, it's gonna happen. It's gonna happen.
