Summary

Writer, director, musician and “How I Met Your Mother” star Josh Radnor joins the show. Over oat milk cortados and bavette steak, I ask him about his new rewatch podcast, How We Made Your Mother, inspired by his wife’s first time watching the series. Josh opens up about the highs and lows of life in an ensemble cast and how, with time and distance, he’s become a genuine fan of the hit sitcom. We dive into everything from his ayahuasca journeys between seasons of the show, to awkward fan encounters. This episode was recorded at Evelina in Fort Greene, Brooklyn.

0:00.0	You know, one of the things about hosting a show that's literally centered around meals is that you start thinking a lot about what foods do to your body.
0:09.8	As for me, it's not just about enjoying a dinner with a friend. It's about feeling good after the meal, too.
0:15.7	That's why I've been really curious about Cygnos. It's an AI-powered app that pairs with a biosensor to help you
0:23.5	actually see in real time how your body responds to what you're eating, your stress, your sleep,
0:29.3	and even when you take a walk after dinner, instead of guessing, you suddenly get this clear picture
0:35.3	of what's happening inside your body. Here's what I like.
0:38.5	Signos can tell you which foods actually cause blood sugar spikes.
0:42.4	It can give you little nudges in the moment like, hey, maybe take a quick walk.
0:46.8	And it even helps you notice the difference between when you're really hungry and when you're just bored or stressed.
0:53.5	Honestly, I wish I had had this when I was figuring
0:55.6	out how to eat more intuitively. Signos really does take the guesswork out of managing your weight
1:01.9	and building healthier habits. And right now, they've got an exclusive offer just for our listeners.
1:08.0	Go to Cygnos.com. That's sig-n-os.com, and use code D-O-M to get $10 off select
1:16.6	plans. That's Cygnos.com code D-O-M for $10 off select plans today.
1:23.4	Fall is officially here, and Macy's is kicking it off with a star deals week, thousands of deals, 20 to 50% off.
1:30.9	I have got my eye on the men's selection. First up, it's Levi's jeans because they're classic, they're timeless, they're always in style, and somehow they just get better the longer you wear them.
1:42.0	At 30% off, it is the perfect time to grab another pair
1:45.1	or two because, let's be honest, you can never have too many pairs of jeans. I'm also loving
1:50.6	the packable puffers and jackets, 50 to 60% off. I travel so much for work. Sometimes I'm in New York,
1:57.0	sometimes I'm in L.A., sometimes I'm on a plane with my coat stuffed into my backpack.
2:02.6	Having a jacket that's warm, stylish, and actually folds up small, that is a total game changer for me.
2:09.0	And don't sleep on their sweaters for under $50 or their big betting deals for home, too.
