Future Ted: [v.o.] Kids, in the spring of 2012, your Uncle Barney went off the grid for a couple weeks. So I was relieved when I got a text asking me to come over to his place.
Ted: Glad to hear from you, buddy. I was worried something bad happened... to you.
Barney: Welcome, brother.
Ted: What is this?
Barney: Ted Evelyn Mosby, you are about to be sworn to secrecy through the sacred vows of a Bro Oath, or "Broath." Please, put on your "brobe."
Ted: Yeah, I'm not putting on the "brobe."
Barney: Ted, just... Just... Okay?
Ted: Wait, are they chanting "bro"?
Barney: I got some local monks to record this. Yeah! I got a monk guy. Cool, right?
Ted: It actually is, yeah.
Barney: I'll burn it for you. Just remind me after The Broath.
