Him saying “I want to be choosing things” is sooo powerful when taking about addictions. It’s how I constantly am striving in my consumption of media. I want to choose it and when it becomes a compulsion, I know I need to step back and reassess.
Jonathan's contributions always blow me away. He is a thorough thinker like few people I have ever known. And, of course, Mayim is both brilliant and an astonishing communicator. The alchemy of this podcast is such a gift to us grateful listeners.
It took me two days to finish the episode. This is not what I expected, it's better. The topics, the way the three of interact, and Josh's calm voice and kind attitude were really, really a delight to listen to. Two days because I needed time to process the information and really connect with the message.
Despite having watched and enjoyed the whole HIMYM series, I never knew anything about Josh. What a fascinating, deep, grounded, intelligent (EQ & IQ) and sweet guy he is. Thank you for having him!
The writers adopted facets of each main actor's personality and incorporated them into their characters. This includes Neil Patrick Harris' skills with magic, Jason Segel's passion for songwriting, Alyson Hannigan's absent-mindedness while pregnant, and Josh Radnor's intellectualism.
@@MayimBialikYes Two very intelligent and very insightful people. Mayim, thank you so much for you and Josh. I could listen to you both have a conversation all day. Have a fantastic day 😊❤
I am deeply impressed by Josh Radnor. These insights, the honesty to talk about all those private things despite the obvious struggle to have no privacy. Amazing, how much more there is than this Ted Mosby character. I am going to watch his movies. ☺️ And I really enjoyed the way Mayim and Josh talked, kind of like old friends.
"Here's a hard question, is that true?" Serving forth the compelling life question with grace and curiosity. You've all moved the needle of consciousness with this entire conversation. Thank you.
It was honestly such a simple moment compared to the other topics they discussed (with some of the big words I had to Google lol) but wow it was IMPACTFUL.
An alchemist in true form. I've found myself attached to many shows I can't seem to watch anymore for various reasons. HIMYM was great, but I think after certain shifts in our lives, the stories hit differently. New perspectives in our growth make what once worked for us before no(t)* work for us now. I appreciate being able to see the human behind the character and to know he is still gracing this world with his creativity in a way that feels more authentic to him. It benefits us all when people have this kind of understanding of themselves. Acknowledgment, learning, and growing in this life to have an enjoyable experience and bring into the world our light helps us all grow through the concrete. Thank you both for sharing your journeys.
I just found this episode randomly on TH-cam and it was one of the greatest podcasts I've listened ever. Really enlightening. Loved! Definely binging a few extra through the week.
i love finding people that think the way i do or did and live through similar experiences that i did and talk about it so openly! also it was great to get to know josh as a spiritual person besides the fame.
So. Many. Fascinating. Things. Seriously, it amazes me that he’s gone from just being Ted on HIMYM to being an inspiration to many on our journeys 🤷🙏💜 thanks so much! Was super happy to see this, hope you all had a great time!
It's so great to hear these people in these different capacities, beyond acting.. It's great to see them flourish in them and to hear their takes on things from a different angle.. : )
Mayim! I love that “notion” is your favorite word. I’ve started adopting it more & more thru osmosis.😅 Another terrific conversation. This pod is one of the BEST out there. Thanks for all your efforts!!
I think this is my favorite episode. Sooooo much gold. I have done a lot of therapeutic ketamine and mushrooms and I love the thought of "What do I bring down from the mountain?"
Such interesting conversation! To be honest Josh, I actually have a similar experience as what you said about the anxious and attacher just hiding an anxious one underneath. It spoke to me so much when you mentioned that because it is so difficult to find a balance between the two. And thank you for being open about therapy and it’s impact on our attachment styles. So many people feel like they are broken but they are not: therapy really helps understanding that. Thank you for sharing!
I related so hard to both your feelings towards drinking now. And same with all the other substance understandings. Now Josh is describing birth and death protected by DMT trips. This is a devastatingly good podcast. Thanks always Mayim and hubby.
Fantastic specificity in the answers [given by Josh] that indicate a hard-earned self awareness coupled with an open minded nature. He doesn't [appear to] think he has or will ever entirely have "all the answers." Nice interview, too [Mayim]!
I never knew he has such a brilliant mind. I admire how self-aware, grounded, open minded, & kind he seems to be. I love when people understand that they don't/can never have all of the answers, while being open & excited to learn as much as possible. Being so open to life (& death!) is such a breath of fresh air in comparison to people who are closed off, fearful, & never want to experience or learn anything new & different. Really enjoyed this episode.
Enjoyed the entire episode but the rapid fire cracked me up!! I always have a jacket or sweater just in case I'm cold and my car has supplies just in case something happens!! Oh my gosh!! My guy/partner makes fun of me for it, but now I feel validated! Thank you! 😌🙂
Thank you so much Mayim for having Josh Radnor on. I'm a big fan of his, and it was very interesting , insightful and inspiring Man and to listen to him speak, Wow..... I'm just extremely impressed with Josh. Thank you so much Josh. Congratulations to you and your wife, may your marriage be blessed and enjoy everything.🎉🎉🎉🎉 To Love, Happiness and excellent health. ❤❤❤❤
I LOVED this episode! These are all topics that are close to my heart. Side note - Mayim! you are so pretty, whenever you get smiley about something you just radiate beauty
Really enjoyed listening to Josh's insights on so many things! I struggle with being intentional in my life & I love his thoughts about reclaiming attention span, & being more mindful of where his time & attention go.
I haven’t watched How I Met Your Mother but this was such a great interview! You’ve got me interested in listening to people’s experiences with psychedelics and I’ve got an ever growing books list! 😊
I dont know if you will read this, but FANTASTIC episode, it really was amazing and in depth. As a number 3 in the enneagram myselg, I really understood and enjoyed everything in it. Keep it up❤
I’ve seen Josh in concert and absolutely love his music and stage presence. My only disappointment is I didn’t get to meet him. Favorite song River Home…
I had a horrible experience with Ayahuasca. Only did it once, but would never do it again. I suffered over 6 hours of hell. I struggled to breath, and fought with dual thoughts and feelings of wanting to die and having to make it through for my children, afraid to leave them. We were asked to wear white, and mist of my clothes were soiled, the host had us all outside in weather that dipped down into the high 50s with kittle to no blanket! It was literally a fight for my life. I had recently lost my fiance to kidney failure, so was looking to be healed of heavy intense grief, but instead got a living nightmare. Needless to say I did not stay for a second evening of that. A few weeks later tried a mushroom instead with the same goal to connect or find peace, but again the same reaction but milder. I settled for meditation and the lighter side of spirituality. I never did get to connect with my fiance, but I did end up having visions of amazing topics, and other unexplainable experiences.
The first thing I saw Josh Radnor in was Liberal Arts. I loved that movie! I also loved Mercy Street, and now look for other work he’s done because of this series.
I ADORED this episode. HIMYM has been a staple in my life since high school. Love is the best thing we do is tattooed on me. The insight from both Mayim, Josh, and Jonathon here was perfect. What a beautiful episode.
love any Josh podcast. seems like such an integrated, healed individual that I would love to talk to one day. a lot of character and depth from what videos are available. grateful to have encountered his art and characters and have funnily enough developed a parasocial admiration to the point where he acts as a mentor in contexts like this, from when I was getting life lessons from Ted growing up to adult me getting wisdom nuggets from Josh on a podcast. it's a cool full circle feeling and moment.
I love these cerebral conversations about this crazy human project. Love having learned so much about Josh! PS - “August and Everything After” is the album I would take to a deserted island for the rest of my life. ❤
Having seen the show 3 times I always enjoyed Josh's acting. Highly looking forward to listening to this one. Also, so glad I stumbeld across your podcast randomly, Dr. Mayim. Took a second before my brain connected who you were! Btw, loved your acting in Big Bang.
I absolutely love this, I was introduced to his music only a few months ago when the TH-cam algorithm blessed me with his Unopened song. Now I'm wholly in love with his music! NYC is my favorite. Now I want to rewatch HIMYM
Hi Mayim such a great conversation , great insight on how josh says about scientist of our own life and experiments. Always happy to learn a lot from your podcasts
What a day today. I listened to this before meeting Colbie Smulders at a meet and greet/tasting event at Legacy Liquor in Vancouver lol and immediately hit a Chapters and get Falling Upward and other Richard Rohr books =D Glad to know Josh is doing great
Damn, this was good. Please have Josh back! He has very similar views to Pete Holmes - after finishing this episode I'm crossing my fingers that I can listen to Josh on Pete's podcast as well!
I have (on and off) followed Josh after HIMYM through his museletters and have found so many great recos through them, and I adore how openly you guys talk about philosophy here. Also, Liberal Arts is one of my favourite movies and I watch it every once in a few years when I need to remember my roots and find some glimmers of hope
I love this so much, I sing your song at the stupidest moments and find myself wondering what you're doing at that moment....just FYI I had an NDE on DEC 18 and so am always looking for podcasts on that! Just so appreciate you and Jonathon
Awwwww... Anne Lamott... I'm Anne & had my Great-Grandpa & Great-Grandma LaMotte. 💕 And I 💖 many of her writings & quotes in general also. They really help me think through things, lift me up, keep me going, etc. You do, too, so thank you!!! And I'm glad Josh has found her writings also. Very cool.
I loved HIMYM and it will forever be one of my all time favourite TV shows (even though they botched the last two seasons). Thank you for this episode, I absolutely loved it.
Absolutely love this. All of this. Thank you for creating this space and holding these conversations. What was the number you and Josh mentioned about being a 3 or 4?
I have to beg to differ on the music lyrics not being poetry point. Sometimes it truly is. Both ways are amazing, but there are some musicians who are true poets & I'm in awe of their works. I can't wait to hear your stuff! Thanks!
Josh loving Richard Rohr is not something I expected to get so much joy from but here I am 😂 “Falling Upward” was also my first encounter of Richard Rohr, his stuff is good.
I think the thing with money is that having it can solve a lot of problems that are on the lower tiers of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. Then the upper tiers, the intrinsic needs, become more into focus. But I know when I am struggling with both rent AND an existential crisis of being, that’s much more weighty than if I were just going through the existential crisis.
I've been poor and well-off both - there are different problems but I'd choose being well-off any day. Wealthy people can cry about thousand things but almost nothing is worse than not knowing if you have enough resources to feed yourself and your family before the next income.
My best friend just got me in to this podcast she’s a massive massive mayim. Fan I’ve only listened to 3 episodes so far but I’m already in love with mayim too can’t wait to binge all episodes ❤️
Dearest Mayim, I'm so glad you have this space where I can write you a fan letter. I was super bummed when jeopardy show kept kept the other host, mr. obnoxious. Everyone I know loves you and loved the show with you there. You have lots of fans who love your work, your energy, your personality and wit. You are lovely and amazing (it's from a movie, but it fits here) I'm writing because the enneagram number sounds like me, self-critical to distraction, and I want you to have the feedback Your fans appreciate you a lot, I'm one of 'em. Btw, you're doing a wonderful job with this format too. I've seen a few others (male hosts). You make it much more interesting and fun. Your questions are more relevant. Sorry to compare, but since the superego is so ingrained in us, (I'm a baby boomer, my parents wouldn't give me any praise or validation even if someone put a gun to their heads.) I wanted to let you know. Blessings to you.
Ted was absolutely many people in my generation’s first interaction with parasocial relationships. Before we really had the language for what was happening, that show was designed to make him our tv boyfriend. I’m not even caffeinated yet on a Tuesday morning and y’all got me out here confronting my own weird developmental behavior. We need more candid discussion about the real people that exist inside of celebrity. Even just observing Josh have a conversation outside of the character Ted made some connections for me that I’m a little embarrassed are only just now happening at 32. While there absolutely should be more consumer awareness about that dynamic and its effects, that show did what it was designed to do.
Forget the fame I'd just like to be wealthy as opposed to being too poor to pay my bills or do anything. It's always people with money that say money doesn't bring you happiness which is true but I don't expect to get happy from having lots of money I expect to be able to do more things that I choose and that would make me happy plus taking away that whole fear of not having enough money for food, bills, rent. Money in itself won't bring happiness but it's what you do with it and how you use it that can. Having choices in your life to do what brings you joy and meaning as opposed to being a wage slave and not having much time to pursue what interests you.
You great actors dont understand (maybe) how much it means to introvert and lonely people like me to watch your shows Amy and Ted Mayim and Josh I love you!
Hello Dr. Bialik! In one of the Joseph Campbell's books, probably The Hero's Journey, he talked about religious rituals placing the person into a state of mind. It seems like people might be using drugs, such as ayahuasco, to do the same thing. I'd like to see you explore, with your audience, how different religions use rituals to help (coerce?) people ease into a sort of meditative state of mind. You could not only explore the ritual but the architecture of religious buildings. Churches, mosques, synagogues, koil, temples, celtic structures, druid structures, etc. The use of placement, symbols, vibrations, etc. Is there a neurological difference between a religious state of mind and any number of selected drug induced states of mind? (your conversation has served to help me wonder about such things and will work hard to not fry my brain worring over such things:)
That should be the argument that convinced me that money, fame or status don't bring any happiness. Happiness isn't something you put inside you. It's already there!
So sorry I could mot watch the episode nor even write comments due to a posterior bilateral capsulotomy in both eyes. Will watch it later. I’m sure it’s as fabulous as previous ones!
i had to push myself in finishing how i met your mother series, Friends =rewarched a lot of times and still on my go to series, Bigbang theory - i think i rewatched it almost 5 times or more.
I love that both Mayim and Josh are not only great actors, but also extremely intelligent and curious people❤
Yes, yes yes yes yes yes!!!
Absolutely!
I agree with you on that.
Him saying “I want to be choosing things” is sooo powerful when taking about addictions. It’s how I constantly am striving in my consumption of media. I want to choose it and when it becomes a compulsion, I know I need to step back and reassess.

I finished watching "How I met your Mother" 2 Days back and what a coincidence, a podcast has been already dropped. Thankyou Mayim ❤
I just watched/binged how I met your mother for the first time a few months ago.
I'm watching these as a rebounce to cope with PSD

Watching How I Met Your Mother as a child, it's quite heartwarming to see Josh Radnor's evolution into a spiritual and intelligent individual.
I related so hard to both your feelings towards drinking now. And same with all the other substance understandings. Now Josh is describing birth and death protected by DMT trips. This is a devastatingly good podcast. Thanks always Mayim and hubby.
Please have Josh on again✨ Love this episode and haw deep and spiritual it was
we need a mayim & josh show 😍

Everyone I know loves you and loved the show with you there. You have lots of fans who love your work, your energy, your personality and wit. You are lovely and amazing (it's from a movie, but it fits here) I'm writing because the enneagram number sounds like me, self-critical to distraction, and I want you to have the feedback Your fans appreciate you a lot, I'm one of 'em. Btw, you're doing a wonderful job with this format too. I've seen a few others (male hosts). You make it much more interesting and fun. Your questions are more relevant. Sorry to compare, but since the superego is so ingrained in us, (I'm a baby boomer, my parents wouldn't give me any praise or validation even if someone put a gun to their heads.) I wanted to let you know. Blessings to you.
Wow not at all what I expected. Of course Barney was my favorite but I think 50 yr Ted is now my favorite!! ❤
I am so glad to hear I am not the only one who thinks we are in a simulation and that other people are experiencing our reality
This was so beautiful thank you!
Mayim, you are such a good and smart person, I really love your Podcast and your Videos ❤
Ted was absolutely many people in my generation’s first interaction with parasocial relationships. Before we really had the language for what was happening, that show was designed to make him our tv boyfriend. I’m not even caffeinated yet on a Tuesday morning and y’all got me out here confronting my own weird developmental behavior. We need more candid discussion about the real people that exist inside of celebrity. Even just observing Josh have a conversation outside of the character Ted made some connections for me that I’m a little embarrassed are only just now happening at 32. While there absolutely should be more consumer awareness about that dynamic and its effects, that show did what it was designed to do.
Forget the fame I'd just like to be wealthy as opposed to being too poor to pay my bills or do anything. It's always people with money that say money doesn't bring you happiness which is true but I don't expect to get happy from having lots of money I expect to be able to do more things that I choose and that would make me happy plus taking away that whole fear of not having enough money for food, bills, rent. Money in itself won't bring happiness but it's what you do with it and how you use it that can. Having choices in your life to do what brings you joy and meaning as opposed to being a wage slave and not having much time to pursue what interests you.
You great actors dont understand (maybe) how much it means to introvert and lonely people like me to watch your shows

I love you!
Hello Dr. Bialik! In one of the Joseph Campbell's books, probably The Hero's Journey, he talked about religious rituals placing the person into a state of mind. It seems like people might be using drugs, such as ayahuasco, to do the same thing. I'd like to see you explore, with your audience, how different religions use rituals to help (coerce?) people ease into a sort of meditative state of mind. You could not only explore the ritual but the architecture of religious buildings. Churches, mosques, synagogues, koil, temples, celtic structures, druid structures, etc. The use of placement, symbols, vibrations, etc. Is there a neurological difference between a religious state of mind and any number of selected drug induced states of mind? (your conversation has served to help me wonder about such things and will work hard to not fry my brain worring over such things:)
I LOVED this episode as a big fan of both HIMYM and TBBT!!
Fascinating!love the honesty ❤
That should be the argument that convinced me that money, fame or status don't bring any happiness.
Happiness isn't something you put inside you. It's already there!
So sorry I could mot watch the episode nor even write comments due to a posterior bilateral capsulotomy in both eyes. Will watch it later. I’m sure it’s as fabulous as previous ones!
