The show has remained vibrantly alive in our collective pop culture memory, with fans around the world still sharing stories of how HIMYM is not just a hilarious comedy but also medicine for the soul in hard times. Now, JOSH RADNOR (who played “Ted Mosby”) has teamed up with series co-creator CRAIG THOMAS to explore, episode-by-episode, the mystery at the heart of what has made this show so durable and beloved. It’s time – much like the older, wiser narrator Ted does in the show – to look back on this adventure that occupied a pivotal decade of their lives: how the show changed them, how it changed its fans, and how it changed the culture. With plenty of special guests joining us along the way, this podcast will use HIMYM’s trenchant themes as jumping-off points for larger discussions about life, loss, and love. This is HOW WE MADE YOUR MOTHER: A flashback podcast for a flashback show.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-02T16:17:19.694198+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/how-we-made-your-mother-7198017"},"episode":{"title":"How We Blah Blah [with Gloria Calderón Kellett] | S3E5 \"How We Met Everyone Else\"","slug":"how-we-blah-blah-with-gloria-calder-n-kellett-s3e5-how-we-met-everyone-else","published_at":"2026-06-15T07:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/how-we-made-your-mother-7198017/how-we-blah-blah-with-gloria-calder-n-kellett-s3e5-how-we-met-everyone-else","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/how-we-made-your-mother-7198017","url":"https://pdst.fm/e/pscrb.fm/rss/p/prfx.byspotify.com/e/tracking.swap.fm/track/v9Uiw3bGr54f6BVZKSyc/serve.castfire.com/audio/8238891/8238891_2026-04-14-011931.192.mp3?rssID=6399","audio_url":"https://pdst.fm/e/pscrb.fm/rss/p/prfx.byspotify.com/e/tracking.swap.fm/track/v9Uiw3bGr54f6BVZKSyc/serve.castfire.com/audio/8238891/8238891_2026-04-14-011931.192.mp3?rssID=6399","summary":"Josh and Craig are joined by writer and producer Gloria Calderón Kellett to discuss “How I Met Everyone Else,” one of the most mythology-rich episodes of the series. Gloria shares the origins of fan-favorite ideas like Blah Blah, the sandwich euphemism, the Hot/Crazy Scale, and the various “how we met” stories that flesh out the gang’s shared history. The conversation explores the episode’s use of Ted as an unreliable narrator, the challenge of building authentic long-term relationships through Marshall and Lily, and the many real-life experiences that inspired the show’s stories. They also reminisce about working with future filmmaking superstar Phil Lord, Abby Spencer’s memorable guest appearance, the early days of the writers’ room, and how HIMYM captured a generation’s experiences with friendship, dating, and growing up. The episode closes with a heartfelt listener letter about a mother who bonded with her sons through the show over many years, underscoring the lasting emotional impact of both the series and the podcast.
