Alice and Eowyn are best friends who have watched How I Met Your Mother all the way through from start to finish. Many, MANY times. Alice's older sister Charlie, meanwhile, tried to watch the show two decades ago and stopped after Episode 2. Now, the two die-hard believers are forcing the skeptic to watch every single episode in an attempt to answer the ultimate existential question: did they choose poorly? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    This is a p good episode of HIMYM, eh? It's kind of like a normal episode of television sometimes. This is the episode where we lay our cards on the table and admit this whole podcast will be a trans reading of the show, an objectively cool and fun thing to do. Also I (Charlie) have been fired as the first-pass editor for the episodes so, um, these should start coming out more regularly. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Here's a question: are WE Ted? Are we pining after an idealized notion of a television show that by definition cannot exist in real life? Will HIMYM ever give us the love we seek?
