How Robin Met Robin | S3E2 "We're Not From Here"
5/25/202653 min
Josh and Craig talk about “We’re Not From Here,” the second half of the Gael mini-arc, and how the episode feels a little more like a classic sitcom with three separate storylines: Robin trying to make a vacation romance work in real life, Ted and Barney pretending to be tourists to pick up women, and Marshall freaking out over Lily’s “death letter.” They laugh a lot about Jason Segel’s completely committed insanity, Robin almost pulling a gun on people, Ted passionately defending New York over New Jersey, and how absurdly old they made Marshall and Lily look in the 2029 flash-forward. They also talk about Chris Harris’ writing style, Enrique Iglesias’ guest spot, and how Ted in early Season 3 is trying really hard to become less “romantic Ted” after the breakup. The episode ends with a really sweet surprise letter from producer Emily Blumberg about growing up loving HIMYM and eventually winding up working on the podcast.

[upbeat music] As a man, finding a truly great pair of pants can feel impossible. Some wrinkle the moment you sit down. Others look fine, but don't travel well, don't move well, or completely lose their shape throughout the day. When you're flying, commuting, or packing light, most pants just aren't built for real life.

[upbeat music] Craig, I was, um, recently looking at one of my credit card statements. Do you ever do this, look at your credit card statements?
Craig Thomas· Host1:05
Yeah, like, uh, like once every few years.
Josh Radnor· Host1:07
Yeah. [laughs] Uh, sometimes I'm a little like Lily. I kind of bury my head in the sand. [laughs] I'm like, "I don't wanna see it."
Craig Thomas· Host1:12
Yeah.
Josh Radnor· Host1:12
"I don't wanna see it."
Craig Thomas· Host1:13
Yeah, yeah.
Josh Radnor· Host1:14
But today, I really, I looked it over, and I saw that there was a charge from a very big bookstore chain- Uh-huh ... that apparently I've been a member of for years- [laughs] ... with some sort of, like, yearly subscription. [laughs] Maybe even monthly.
