kids, i am going to tell you an incredible story. the premise of "how i met your mother" is a grown man telling his children the story how he met his mother. >> it was way back in 2005. the show was not your traditional sitcom. it had to do with the flash back elements. is it going to take a while? >> yes. >> 25 years ago before i was dad. i had this whole other life. >> you guys don't think i should call her. >> ted, no. >> okay, fine. i won't. >> interesting trivia. >> i called her. >> what are you doing? >> it was this ideal world where you got your really good buddies that will always have your back. >> yes, kids are not my favorite thing in the world but i like them. >> oh, you don't want to have them. >> i like sports cars but it does not mean i want to push a ferrari through my vagina.
