How does the listener’s congenital heart story open this episode?
When I was born, I was born with a medical condition known as Q22 deletion, which is missing the 22nd chromosome. With that, it gave me a congenital heart defect, and I've been through so much because of all my health issues. However, because of all of that, I never felt like I actually belonged anywhere. How I Met Your Mother has changed my life because I rewatch it on a yearly basis. I'm rewatching it right now as I chat with you guys about this. And I just find so much inspiration from the show. I find so much inspiration from the actors. I've learned to be a better friend, a better partner, and just a better person because of this show. It's always a reminder of how to handle problems. Thank you for changing my life.
Thank you. be soon in New York City when I see you please permit me to tell you everything in New York City
Welcome to another episode of How We Made Your Mother. I'm Josh Radner. I'm here with my friend Craig Thomas. Hey, Craig. Hey, Josh.
Man, Alec warned me, and I'm still trying not to cry. To open a show crying feels very unprofessional.
Usually, I get you at about three quarters of the way through. That was such a lovely letter. I saw you. I knew that landed on you, Craig.
It did. I'm trying to get my S together. Thank you so much for that beautiful message. My son, Elliot, he has a rare genetic syndrome. It's a deletion on one of his 11th chromosomes. I've talked about it on the show. I wrote a novel inspired by my son. And the idea that How I Met Your Mother and now this podcast is speaking to somebody who has gone through challenges and has gone through health and heart challenges. My son had open heart surgery at two weeks old. Just to know that the show has meant something and been a place of belonging and connection for you. It just means the world. Thank you so much for that message.
I love how he said he rewatches it every year. It's so funny that... This show was inspired by, what's his name from It's a Wonderful Life, Jimmy Stewart's character?
George Bailey.
George Bailey, thank you. George Bailey and also Christmas Story looms very large. So these yearly things that people re-watch over and over to mark the season's passing, How I Met Your Mother in a much longer way, because it's obviously longer than those two movies. It's not as compact of a re-watch. Yeah, has become an annual thing for people to do, to rewatch the show, which is so great. And I hope our rewatch podcast is accompanying you on your 50th or 20th or 10th or first watch or rewatch. We're so happy to be continuing to do this. I would say we're now like, we're really deep into season three. We're in.
Yeah, we're in. And before we move on, again, thank you for the message. I just wanted to say that the hometown charitable cause of How We Made Your Mother is raising money for an amazing doctor who researches pediatric congenital heart disease. So literally what this wonderful person has been through and what my son has been through So I just wanted to say that if you go to HowWeMadeYourMother.com, you go to, what is it, Alec? Is it giving or is it? It's the Make a Difference tab at the top. Go find Make a Difference on the website and you can donate to work that helps people with congenital heart disease. So yeah, I just wanted to give a little shout out to that as our cause. I'm so glad we are finding fans to whom that speaks.
And it means the world to me.
Yeah, keep those voice notes coming in. It really is very special.
And let me just say that his name was Sean. He didn't give his name.
That was Sean.
Yes, Sean. I was going to say. Sean, thank you, Sean.
Thanks, Sean. So we're up to episode six in season three. This episode is called, I believe, I'm Not That Guy and was written by Jonathan Groff. Is that right?
That is it. We got it.
Real quick, was Jonathan Groff came on third season?
Yeah, I should clarify, this is not the actor Jonathan Groff.
Oh, yes, yes.
What a talented guy. He dances, he writes How I Met Your Mother episodes. Hyphenate. So this is the writer Jonathan Groff, who Carter and I very much idolized.
