  • Resumen

  • In this General Questions bonus episode, Josh, Craig, and Alek answer listener questions inspired by “Matchmaker” and the legendary cockamouse. They share memories of life on set—from forgotten script pages to candy carts—and reflect on the ecosystem of people who brought HIMYM to life behind the scenes. The conversation also explores the inspiration behind the matchmaking plot, how Robin’s job helped shrink New York into a small-town setting, and why characters like Ted become verbs among close friends. Plus, they tackle the fan-favorite topic of spoilers (or avoiding them), and reveal whether they ever had an emergency plan to end the series early. Questions We Try to Answer: What’s life like on a sitcom set day-to-day? Did anyone ever try to hide script pages in props or pockets? How did the crew, like the script supervisor, help actors stay on track? What’s the story behind the candy cart and other Fox lot traditions? How did you balance screen time and prep with phones creeping onto set? Was the matchmaking plot based on anyone’s real-life experience? Did this matchmaking service actually exist, and did anyone try it? What made Robin’s job as a local reporter such a useful storytelling tool? Why does Robin’s news fluff piece feel so personal and charming? Why does turning New York into a small town make the show more relatable? Where did the phrase “Tedding out” come from, and what does it mean to the characters? Did the group using Ted’s name as a verb feel affectionate or mocking? Was there ever an emergency plan to wrap the show early if it got canceled CONNECT WITH THE SHOW: Official Website (Send us your audio and written messages) Substack (Join the mailing list, get announcements, and read more from Josh and Craig) Instagram HOW YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE: Donate to our ongoing campaign to support congenital heart disease research AND MORE: Josh’s “Museletters” on Substack Josh’s Official Website Josh on Spotify Craig’s Official Website (with links to his published writing) Alek’s “Dead Fathers Society” on Substack Advertising inquiries:hwmym@wearebv.com Learn more about your ad choices.
