Covering episodes 16 and 17, Cupcake and Life Among the Gorillas, Nick and Miki get a master class from Ted in what not to do in a long-distance relationship. Meanwhile, Robin continues to struggle with her feelings for Ted, and Barney convinces Marshall to take a high-paying internship at his company—which Lily isn’t loving.

"It's quid pro bro!"
Nick and Miki cover episodes 14 and 15, “Zip, Zip, Zip” and “Game Night,” where Ted and Victoria—and even Lily and Marshall—have some firsts in their relationships. But, more importantly, we learn Barney’s original story! Will I ever see another rainbow?!?

"You bastard. I actually got excited about this."
In episodes 6 and 7, The Slutty Pumpkin and Matchmaker, Nick and Miki witness Ted “Ted out” in his quest to find the One–with some cringy results. Robin gets introspective about whether she would rather be a “we” or an “I.” Meanwhile, Lily and Marshall have a harrowing brush with the supernatural–luckily, Nick has some credible theories...
"I'm not EFFABLE?!?!?!"
Join Nick and Miki to break down episodes 4 and 5 of HIMYM: Return of the Shirt and Okay Awesome. Asking ourselves: Is there a good way to break up with someone? And what's the etiquette cutting the line at a bar? We also take a stroll down memory lane, reminiscing about the early days of the internet ("fire ze missiles!!!!").
