How I Met Your Friends

FRIENDS The Musical Parody On Tour came to Salem, Oregon last week and we got to see it! It was amazing and we recorded a short review (IN THE CAR) of why we loved it and why YOU SHOULD GO SEE IT! Follow them on Instagram (@friendsmusicalparody and @friendsparodyontour) for even more fun!   Find tickets for upcoming shows at http://friendsparodyontour.com/ 

 On this ultimate Bonus Episode (which we don't think will be topped anytime soon!), we interviewed Larry Hankin, AKA MR. HECKLES!  First, he is an amazing comedian, actor, director, producer, and creator! If you don't know about his awesome career, please go check out his YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4-KxScN3IHgQrJ_aAHCzzw).  Second, our teenage hearts almost...

This week on the pod, we watched "The One Where Heckles Dies" and "Brunch."  The FRIENDS gang is faced with the death of their downstairs neighbor (and building kook), Mr. Heckles, and while he leaves all this earthly possessions to "the noisy girls upstairs," it isn't what they expected. Chandler must deal with his Heckles-like traits and Phoebe messes with Ross to epic results.  The HI...

This week on the pod, we watched "The Scorpion & The Toad" and "The One With the Breast Milk."  Lily is back and looking for a new apartment (and a new life?), Ted and Robin disagree about Lily's happy summer in SF  (and decide to get the truth with tequila), and Barney plays Marshall's wingman but won't let him have any candy.  Rachel worries Monica is finding a new BFF in Juli...

We are back! So where were we? Rachel went to the airport to tell Ross she knew, Marshall and Lily broke up, and Ted and Robin hooked up!  Season 2 starts with a bang: Rachel falls down (and then falls on Paolo!), Barney tries to make Marshall happy at the strip club, and Ted finally loses his cool over Lily and Marshall's breakup!  How do you feel about the first episode of season 2 of...

Our hiatus is almost over but we couldn't wait to record again so here's a little bonus episode to catch up on what we did on our break, how cool it is to have listeners in so many different places, and how hard it is to not binge FRIENDS and HIMYM!  Season Two starts next week! Get caught up on Season One now, then review the pod on iTunes and we'll read it on the next episode.  Follow...

It's Season One recap time! And for the first time ever, Kathleen and Julie are in the same room. Which may or may not be a good thing.  We talk favorite episodes, least favorite episodes, favorite characters, how much we love recording this podcasts, and ideas for Season Two.  Stay tuned for new episodes coming soon and possibly some bonus fun in between! Find us on social media or emai...

Can you believe we've come to the end of Season One?! We can't either!  This week, we talk season finales, which have WAY MORE in common than we realized, from declarations of love, makeups, breakups, and epic kisses.  We'd love to hear your thoughts on Season One of FRIENDS and HIMYM...and how we did for this first season! Rate and review us on iTunes and follow us on social media to ch...

Kathleen found a fascinating article on Screen Rant from contributor Ben Sherlock from last week and we had to discuss. Do you agree with the article? Do you agree with us? Send us your thoughts via email at howimetyourfriendspod@gmail.com and we'll read it on the next episode! And here's the link to the Screen Rant article: https://screenrant.com/things-friends-better-how-i-met-your-mother-himym-...

This week, we changed it up a little bit. First, this episode covers TWO FRIENDS episodes but not a HIMYM episode. FRIENDS has two more episodes than HIMYM and we want to cover the season finales together.  Second, we couldn't record this week without acknowledging the passing of a 90s icon, Luke Perry. So bear with us while we spend the first 10 minutes or so saying goodbye to Dylan McKay, s...

Do you ever feel like your life isn't going the way you thought it would? Well in Episode 21, that's how everyone is feeling--Monica and her identity thief, Ted and Love Solutions, Lily and the art fellowship! Join us for a breakdown of "The One with the Fake Monica" and "Milk." Remember, we are just one episode from the season finale of HIMYM and three from the FRIENDS season finale.  We'd l...

Last week we talked about "Best Prom Ever" and it got us thinking about high school and who we were back then. Take a little trip down memory lane with Julie and Kathleen as they reminisce about cheerleading, show choir, spheres of popularity, and school mascots.  Come chat with us on social media or email us at howimetyourfriendspod@gmail.com!

Julie and Kathleen are back with a new episode! And yes, for the first 5 minutes we had some audio difficulties. But we figured it out and present for your listening pleasure our breakdown of "Best Prom Ever" and "The One with the Evil Orthodontist"!  Both episodes cover some funny and serious stuff--which we love and expect from both shows. But we want to know your thoughts on these two epis...

We all know that Ross and Ted have problems with women and on this week's episode, both guys end up without the girl. Join Julie and Kathleen as they recap "The One Where the Monkey Gets Way" and "Mary the Paralegal," have some good laughs about Sandy Rivers, and share a major Twitter freak out from last weekend.  Join us next Thursday, when we'll recap "Best Prom Ever" and "The One with the...

Join Julie and Kathleen for a breakdown of "Nothing Good Happens After 2 am" and "The One With All the Poker," where Ted is the absolute worst, Korean Elvis gets kneed in the junk, Ross is both the worst AND the best, and Rachel faces some major disappointment. There are some major feels in this episode, so get ready to awww, laugh, and cry along with us! Next week we'll cover "The One Where the M...

This week we tackle "The One with Two Parts: Part Two" and "Life Among the Gorillas." These episodes bring us Clooney before he was Clooney, Ross's freak outs about being a papa, Marshall being a complete d-bag, and, once again, Ted being way too demanding of his friends.  Follow along for next week's episode as we watch and discuss "The One with all the Poker" (You're fly is open, Geller) an...

Join us for this week's recap of "Cupcake" and "The One with Two Parts: Part One" where we were joined by fellow FRIENDS fanatic and Ooligan-alum, Brittney Finato!  In just over 3 months, we're about to crush 1000 listens! Thanks you so much for liking our podcast and coming back week after week to listen to our Lady Pod Squad rant and rave about all things FRIENDS and HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER!...

College Humor's post about the FRIENDS casts' Hogwarts Houses isn't a new topic but it got A TON of comments and had people arguing for and against their selections. So we started thinking about where we would sort the FRIENDS and HIMYM characters. Thanks to some other blogs on the subject (https://www.whitacrosstheworld.com/sorting-the-himym-and-friends-women-into-hogwarts-houses/) we had to take...

Holy cow we are over half way through season one! This week we break down "The One with the Stoned Guy" and "Game Night," learn the origin story of why Barney might be a sociopath, watch Chandler give in for $$$, and see once again that Lily and Marshall have no boundaries.  If you'd like to watch with us, next week we'll cover Episodes 16 "Cupcake" and "The One with Two Parts: Part One," and...

This week on the pod, we break down episodes 14 "Zip, Zip, Zip" and "The One with the Candy Hearts." We talk terrible lesbian stereotypes and jokes, the skewed timeline of Ted and Victoria's first weekend together, why you shouldn't have a "boyfriend bonfire" indoors, and what kind of music is good for sexy time.  For the full music video of Eric Church that Kathleen's mentions at the beginni...

Happy New Year HIMYF fans!  This week Alison had to take a night off to be a responsible adult and complete some work for her freelance clients. So Julie and Kathleen (with a quick cameo from Trevor) took the wheel and drove the car right off the rails! Ha ha, not really, but we definitely had some trouble staying on topic.  So sit back and catch up on our New Year's New Word, why we thi...

We're back after Christmas break with a break down of "The Wedding" and "The One with the Dozen Lasagnas." In this super-sized episode, we discuss Robin's dress for Claudia and Stuart's wedding, our feelings about gender reveal parties, and "the Little Barney" in us all.  Next week, we'll wrap up the year with "The One with the Boobies" and "Drumroll, Please," which we have many opinions abou...

On this week's episode, we meet Chandler's Freudian-nightmare mother, Nora Tyler Bing, learn that Barney's Bro Code isn't new, and take a ride in a New Year's Eve limo that reaches dangerous levels of psychetude. Chat with our #ladypodsquad on Twitter @himyfriendspod, on Instagram @howimetyourfriendspod, or email @ howimetyourfriendspod@gmail.com. We welcome reviews and your nominee for Friend of...
