Aaron reminded Terry of a theory that Terry suggested regarding how the finale of How I Met Your Mother might play out.  The rather dark theory was the seed of the main discussion for this proper premiere episode of the podcast.  Scattered throughout the discussion are some musical and movie connections that while they pay homage to the carefully tangled plot weaved on How I Met Your Mother they also should serve as spoiler-free detours from the main discussion.

If you have not seen the episodes of HIMYM titled "Unpause" and "How Your Mother Met Me", one is strongly suggested to heed the spoiler alerts throughout the episode.

Some of but necessary not all of the topics discussed in this episodes (besides HIMYM):  Spooky Empire, Frances Ha, Guided By Voices, The Magnetic Fields, Next Stop Wonderland, Mad About You, The Big Bang Theory, Sports Night, Futurama, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, The Newsroom
