Summary
"Single Stamina" (November 27, 2006)
Now that HIMYM has been off the air for a full decade, it's worth considering how this show holds up better than most from the early 2000s did. Not only did it give us Robin Sparkles, it just might be the only TV show to compare equally well to both Friends and Lost, as improbable as that sounds. This episode has Wayne Brady playing a gay character in a bit of stunt casting that worked a lot better before he came out, but it also just might be the thing that convinced Neil Patrick Harris to finally come out as well.
Listen to the newest episode of Cartoons That Made Us Gay, all about Conan: The Adventurer and the inherent gayness of the "barbarian" genre in general.

| 0:39.2 | I'm Glenn Lakin. I had to swallow first. |
| 0:42.0 | I mean, I guess that was better than just spitting out whatever you had in your mouth. |
| 0:45.9 | Glenn, what sitcom are we discussing this week? |
| 0:48.4 | How I met your mother. I actually surprised it took us as long. |
| 0:52.2 | Yeah, people have been asking us to do this for a long time, and there's no real reason it took us... |
| 0:58.2 | It's a good show with many seasons that at this point, I guess, kind of feels like a classic. |
| 1:03.0 | I mean, it's been off the air for 10 years, which is wild to think about. |
| 1:07.1 | Long enough, we've done newer stuff. |
| 1:09.2 | This is on the newer end of stuff, but yeah, I don't know if we've really talked about this show very often. |

| 1:19.4 | But at some point, I want to say maybe around 2007, I got on and watched it pretty regularly up until the last couple seasons. |
| 1:36.0 | I still don't think I watched the last season. I know pretty much, I watched the last episode. |
| 1:41.8 | I know how it ends. But for a while, I really enjoyed and respected the show. It gets a lot of shit. And I don't really understand why. I guess like some things about it are inseparable in hindsight. And it is a very white show when we probably should have known better at the time. |
