How I Met Your Friends

Welcome back to another week of HOW I MET YOUR FRIENDS! On FRIENDS, Monica has a plan to get over Richard; Ross gives Chandler some excellent relationship advice; Phoebe plays peek-a-boo with a cute stalker; and Joey and his jam crackers are YUMMY! On HIMYM, Robin attempts to behave on a date; Barney and Marshall let it all hang out at Wimbledon; and Ted attempts to win the belt with a tricycle. C...

Let's get ready for Episode 2 with "We're Not From Here" and "The One Where No One Is Ready." Robin is back from vacation but wishes she could stay connected to her more evolved vacation self, plus Gael is driving her crazy. Marshall and Lily have to prepare death folders for each other and Marshall breaks the rules by reading Lily's letter. Barney and Ted devise a scheme to play tourist and get s...

We are back with Season 3 of the only show comparing and contrasting FRIENDS and HIMYM! And we have a lot to say about these first two episodes of the new season: hair, fashion, and the first appearance of the best Marshall GIF ever. Ross reveals a Star Wars themed fantasy to Rachel; Chandler tells Joey that Janice is the one; Monica is devastated by the end of her relationship with Richard. Ted i...

With Season 2 wrapped and Season 3 about to start, we thought it would be fun to play trivia with our sister podcast, The Faves of Our Lives! Brittany and Kelly graciously skyped in from their respective towns, and definitely stumped us on several questions! Well done, ladies! Remember, if you have trivia that you think will stump us, give us a shout on social media or via email! Season 3 coming s...

It's our Season 2 wrap up! We counted up our individual FRIEND OF THE DAY picks and crowned a FRIEND OF THE SEASON--and you won't believe who it is! Plus, our FAVORITE and LEAST FAVORITE episodes of the season from both shows, and a few tangents because that's how we do. Season 3 is coming soon and our 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY! Check out Patreon for details on supporting the podcast and the exciting per...

It's season 2 finale episodes! And boy do these episodes have a ton in common! Lily & Marshall's wedding reception starts great but soon the couple gets food-blocked at every turn; Ted & Robin have a secret that is about to drive Barney insane; and we finally found out what happened the night Robin & Ted were covered in spaghetti sauce. Joey auditions for a movie that requires him to k...

It's almost the end of Season 2 and both our favorite shows have jam-packed episodes leading to the season finale! Phoebe's "submarine guy" is visiting...but she has chicken pox thanks to Ben; Monica freaks out that Richard doesn't get her quirky cleaning and organizational habits; Chandler offers Joey a temp job at his company, which ends very poorly when Joey invents a new character, "Joseph, th...

Season 2 is almost over! How did that happen?! Get ready for a hilarious episode covering "Showdown" and "The One With Two Parties." Barney has a plan to get on TPIR (that's The Price Is Right, for you squares) and meet his dad; Marshall and Lily follow through with their plan to live apart before the wedding...or do they; Robin tries to help Lily GAIN weight (lucky bitch); and Ted struggles to wr...

We're back for another episode to compare and contrast FRIENDS and HIMYM! This week we watched "The One With the Bullies" and "Bachelor Party." Phoebe sees signs that she needs to finally meet her birth father; Ross and Chandler get bullied and banned from Central Perk; Monica tries to make money on the stock market but finally has to take a job as 50s style waitress. Lily has a wedding shower, wh...

On this week's pod, we cover "Moving Day" and "The One Where Old Yeller Dies." Ted and Robin prep for Ted to move in, until Barney steals the moving trucks and forces Ted and Robin to confront if they are ready to live together. Marshall and Lily celebrate living alone, until they realize Ted is kind of the "mom" of their trio. Phoebe learns the endings to some classic movies--and it majorly depre...

It's another laugh-filled episode as we cover "The One Where Eddie Won't Go" and "Arrivederci Fierro".  Chandler wants psych-pants Eddie to move out but Eddie has other ideas--that involve a lot of tiny foods; Joey tries to move on after his grim death on DOOL; and the ladies delve deep into "wind keeping" and protecting their "sacred pools." The death of Marshall's Fierro brings the group to...

Hello, HIMYF fans! We are fast-approaching the end of Season 2 and we are so grateful everyone who has stayed on this crazy trip that is podcasting! We start with HIMYM "Stuff" and learn that Ted hasn't purchased most of his "stuff" (apparently, papa gets swag), finally find out the origin story of Robin's 5 dogs, and watch Lily and Barney torment their friends with a "play."  Over at Central...

OMG, we have just 7 more episodes left in Season 2! This week, we chatted about "The One Where Eddie Moves In" and "Lucky Penny," which both deal with a lot of running--first on BAYWATCH and then Marshall and Barney and the New York City marathon.  Joey has officially moved out and Chandler has a "spare room," which is all-too-quickly filled by Eddie (played by the fantastic Adam Goldberg--go...

Welcome back! We are so lucky to have a guest host this week--all the way from Sweden! Katarina was so awesome to stay up late (a 9-hour time difference) to chat with us about "Monday Night Football" and "The One Where Joey Moves Out".  **NOTE: Because of Skype, we had minor sound issues for the first few minutes.** We've celebrated Halloween and Christmas with the HIMYM gang, and now it's ti...

It's time for another great episode comparing and contrasting FRIENDS and HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER! On "The One Where Ross & Rachel...You Know," Ross and Rachel finally go on a date (and get caught doing it in public!), Monica is a "smitten kitten," and Chandler and Joey do their best Beavis and Butt-head impression (aren't impressed). We catch up with the HIMYM gang in "Columns," where Ted must...

We are back from our little summer break with "First Time in New York" and "The One With the Prom Video"!  Robin welcomes her kid sister to New York and gets some upsetting news that leads to several embarrassing and fun conversations about virginity. We learn everyone's first time stories, and revel in Ted's bad Dad facts about the Empire State Building.  Ross loses his cool about Rache...

Hiya, everyone! As we mentioned last week, we are doing a DOUBLE FRIENDS episode this week because HIMYM has 22 episodes and FRIENDS has 24. That way the finales will be matched up at the end of the season. So get ready for "The One After the Superbowl Part 1 & 2"! There's no Superbowl in sight but there are a ton of guest stars in this week's DOUBLE FEATURE! And we are talking BIG stars...HUG...

WHOA, this one is a doozy! This week we watched "The One With the Lesbian Wedding" and "How Lily Stole Christmas," and we had LOTS to say. Ross is reeling from the news that Carol and Susan are getting married, Joey is debuting on DOOL, Monica steps in as the wedding caterer, Phoebe is inhabited by an elderly woman's spirit, and Rachel learns her Mom and Dad might be getting a divorce. This is a m...

It's time for "Singles Stamina" and "The One With Russ"! Barney hates the coupledom that has evolved from Marshall and Lily's reunion and Ted and Robin's relationship. So he brings in reinforcements: his brother, James. Joey is faced with a dilemma regarding a part of DAYS OF OUR LIVES and a casting director, and Rachel moves on from Ross with a date...or does she? It's the original doppleganger--...

 This week, our recording day included opening up our listener gift, cooking dinner, watching both shows, and then actually sitting down to record! It was a long and wonderful day! For the pod, we recapped "The One With Phoebe's Dad" and "Slap Bet." Phoebe thinks her dad is a tree surgeon living in Burma but soon learns that her mom and grandma have been lying to her. Ross obsesses over Rache...

On this week's episode, we watched "Atlantic City" and "The One With the List." Lily and Marshall are back together and couldn't be happier--until they realize they have to deal with the consequences of canceling a wedding. So, in a stroke of genius, they decide to run off to AC with the gang for a quickie wedding. And everything seems to be pointing to Lily being a bridezilla.  Ross and Rach...

 Get ready to have your mind blown! This week we watched "The One Where Ross Finds Out" and "Swarley," two episodes that have major crossovers in plot and characters!  Chandler deals with some extra "insulation" and destroys Monica the way only a best friend can, Joey helps with Phoebe's confidence, and Ross finally finds out that Rachel knows.  Ted, Marshall, and Barney hang out at...

Do you have life figured out?! We don't! So we are changing things up! We launch right into our weekly episode recaps, with a podcast/life update at the end of the show.  This week, we watched "Aldrin Justice" and "The One With the Baby on the Bus." Lily is struggling with finding her life and career passion, Ted works for a real "D", and Barney and Marshall attempt to tame a cougar. Plus, Li...

This week, we watched "The One With 5 Steaks and an Eggplant" and "World's Greatest Couple."  The FRIENDS gang celebrates Ross's birthday with a hoopla, half the group struggles with money woes, Chandler reveals his inner Joey and Barney, and the whole gang remembers why they are FAMILY.  While over in the HIMYM-verse, Marshall deals with being single by "dating" his law school friend Br...

Whew, it's been quite a week! After several bonus episodes THAT YOU MUST CHECK OUT, we are back with a full episode covering "Ted Mosby, Architect" and "The One With Phoebe's Husband." Ted is suffering through a building project that looks like male genitalia and a girlfriend who doesn't care, Marshall has to tell his law school friends that "love has died," and Barney plays with identify theft.&n...
