How I Met Your Podcast: A How I Met Your Mother Recap

In a very special HIMYM, we attend Marvin Eriksen's funeral and watch Marshall struggle to discover his father's last words and whether they were suitable. The rest of the gang supports him in their own way.

A two-hander whereby Marshall and Lily are dealing with potential infertility and Barny doppelgänger; Ted is helping Robin deal with Sandy problems at her new job. And of course, the worst news and most emotional moment in the entire series.

Everyone's life goal changes with the alternating news about the Erikson's maternity status.....except Ted who is too occupied making a christmas themed movie snack and crushing the details of Punchy's wedding plans.

Tune in to hear Steve and Jen debate whether this episode is horrible or just ok. Ted considers his feelings for Zoey as The Captain acts very murdery. Marshall and Robin go out to dinner to give their characters something to do. Ted has trouble recapping the Barney and Lily story. And of course there's a Mermaid Theory.

The Curse of the Blitz is passed from character to character as the gang tries to carry out Ted's Thanksgiving, with interference from Zoey.

It's Robin Sparkles III Ya'lllllllll!!!! Barney unearths and shares an old Canadian kids show Robin starred in. Lily learns Robin had a best friend from those years with whom she grew apart when the friend had a baby. Now that Lily won't stop droning on about trying to have a baby, her friendship is strained with Robin and she fears the worst. And finally, Punchy in Times Square!!!!!

A night of contests: Ted versus Zoey regarding the new GNB building, College Marshall versus Corporate Marshall in Lily's most annoying turn, Barney versus Robin in Museum hi-jinx. We also meet The Captain for the first time and Barney finds out the real identity of his father.

Ted has to win back his class from Zoey. Marshall wrestles with the decision of whether to keep Randy (Will Forte) to save his conscience, or fire him which will let him pursue his hopmeister dreams. Both Will Forte and Bob Odenkirk in the same episode!!!

Becky's little-girl-talk shines in this episode of HIMYM, irritating Robin while enchanting Ted.. Marshall tries to commandeer the gender of their yet-to-be-conceived baby.

The male members of the gang are appalled at the salty sailor talk they hear about Robin's new boyfriend Max. Ted is ready to sacrifice his GNB project for an attractive protestor.
