On this very special Bonus Episode of HWMYM, we’re bringing you a table read of New York Mythological, a pilot that Craig and Carter wrote and sold to CBS sometime around 2015. Unfortunately, this one never got made. But we’ve got the next best thing for you here. The log line for New York Mythological - A new arrival joins the team at a museum devoted to exploring supernatural and paranormal phenomena in New York City. With kind of a How I Met Your Mother meets Ghostbusters feel, the pilot features a fantastic cast featuring Isabella Gomez (One Day at a Time, Shrinking), Devon Bostick (Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Crime 101), Alyssa Limperis (What We Do In the Shadows), Josh Fadem (The Lowdown, American Dad), Kal Penn (Harold and Kumar, Industry) Cyrina Fiallo (HIgh Potential, 911 Lonestar), Tami Sagher (Inside Amy Schumer).

First 90 secondsJosh Radnor· Host0:00
[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· Host0:06
Yeah, like, uh, like once every few years.
Josh Radnor· Host0:09
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· Host0:14
Yeah.
Josh Radnor· Host0:14
"I don't wanna see it."
Craig Thomas· Host0:15
Yep, yep.
Josh Radnor· Host0:15
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. Maybe even monthly. I don't, I hope it's a... But I, I, I was just like, "Why? I haven't set foot in one of these stores in years." So I've got this charge that I... And I, then I started, my mind started spinning. I was like, "How many of these do I have?"
Craig Thomas· Host0:42
Right. What, what is the grand total that you've been paying since like happy Y2K or whatever?
Josh Radnor· Host0:48
[laughs] Yeah.
Craig Thomas· Host0:48
Yeah. It's- I- It's ridiculous. Yeah.
Josh Radnor· Host0:50
I don't wanna crunch those numbers because now that I have a, a, a kid, I'm starting to think about, uh, college.
Craig Thomas· Host0:56
Yeah, I know. I know, like that, that would've been really useful. Can I make a suggestion?
Josh Radnor· Host0:59
Yes, please.
Craig Thomas· Host1:00
Since we're just two, two dudes here chatting on microphones- Yeah ... I'm gonna just spontaneously suggest something. Rocket Money, Josh.
Josh Radnor· Host1:06
Wait, what?
Craig Thomas· Host1:07
Rock- Rocket Money, I say. You heard me.
Josh Radnor· Host1:09
Rocket Money?
Craig Thomas· Host1:09
You heard me.
Josh Radnor· Host1:10
Tell me m- tell me more about it.
Craig Thomas· Host1:11
Uh, I will. I will. So Rocket Money, this app automatically categorizes transactions, tracks subscriptions, and even lets you cancel unwanted ones, case in point, in just a few taps. Uh, you can end up cutting all, all kinds of s- subscriptions, just like what you just described, things you did not, you don't even remember
