My name is Doina. I'm currently living in Montreal, Canada, but I'm from Italy. And I want to let you know that in 2024, I drove my husband to New York, not 500 miles, maybe a little bit less, to the events of The Solids. And it was very close to his birthday. And that event meant a lot to us, not only as fans of the show, but because at the time he was going through chemo.
So he was not doing very well. He was quite weak. But I feel that that event made him so happy that the day after when we were in New York, he had a lot of energy walking around. So that made me very, very happy and hopeful also. And I think that he also had a very brief conversation with Josh and he was... ecstatic about it so thank you very much uh we're big fans of the show it was part of our relationships since we started dating so i can't wait to hear more because there's so many good episodes that i can't wait to hear about it so thank you very
much New York City, when I see you, please permit me to tell you everything in New York City. Welcome to How We Made Your Mother. I'm Josh Radner. I'm here with my friend Craig Thomas. Hi, Craig. Hey, buddy. Hey, man. We made a TV show together. We did.
It was called How I
Met Your Mother. And
people continue to love it.
How does Ted’s post‑breakup confidence affect his behavior in this episode?
Hearing that message, I'm blown away. I can't get over that message. It's like my mind is blown. Just like the idea that the... The way the show echoes out, it can be there for people at these hard moments. She was talking about the music of the show. We do this concert, our band, Carter and my band, The Salads. We did the theme song. We do this fundraiser concert every year at Bowery Ballroom. Josh comes and plays a set as part of it with us. The idea that that couple at that moment is just so awesome. I just love hearing that. Thank you for that message.
I am struck constantly by hearing how many people How I Met Your Mother played into their courtship with
their
future spouse. I hear
from
people all the time, they ping someone on a dating site because they said their favorite show is How I Met Your Mother.
It's just so cool. It's so cool. It has this real world effect.
There's something like, it does, it's almost like loving a certain band. Like there's a certain frequency that you can assume that lovers of How I Met Your Mother are on a, there's going to be some ability to connect based on something.
there's a venn diagram overlap right away and then you just can explore does that go deeper and and what it does it's it's so cool to be part of people's stories this you know this thing we did you just the world's hard right now things feel tough i think a lot of us feel it hearing these these ripple effect things that happen from the work we've put out there it's just it really gives me hope everything makes you want to keep putting stuff out there
There's something in Judaism that is like, if you help facilitate three matches that end in marriage, you go to heaven or something. It's like a saying. I don't even know if Jews believe in heaven, but it's this idea that it's a great mitzvah or good deed to make matches. And I think, Craig... Like you and I have at least inadvertently created somewhere in the order of hundreds of matches
because of our work on How I Met Your
Mother.
Maybe more. Maybe more. Maybe more. Yeah.
It's insane. So keep those messages coming. Those are just that. That reminds me why we did this. Why are we doing the podcast? It's just it's such a feeling of connection. Thank you. Thank you so much for those types of messages.
Yeah, that's terrific. Thank you. So let's jump in to this week's episode. We're hurtling through season
three. I know.
Already four in. This is our
fourth of season three.
