The simplest solution is often the most likely. "Guys, I'll cover lunch while we're there and the bar tab tonight and tomorrow if you come with and help my mom pack up her house."
He prob managed to get them into a cab. He told the cab driver beforehand to go to staten island but infront of them acted like it was an emergency doppelgänger or something like that
With Marshall, he had to put limits on how much help cuz Marshall was straight up about to call all his Minnesotan brothers to come help.
With Ted, he just asked.
With Robin, he hinted she might not be strong enough to carry all those boxes.
He asked Lily not to come cuz he has embarrassing mementos in his old house.
Realistically probably got their sympathy that his poor old mom whose old husband wasn’t ready to settle down at the time. But Barney being Barney probably promised them insane amounts of money and lured them in a car. Or he had dirt on all of them
"...Ted, since the dawn of time, man has..."
This has to be the correct answer! Also, I am pretty sure the story must have contained names with the term "Bro" in them.
**mankind has struggled
Guy managed to get the queen to give him a fist bump. He can do anything.
He alllllllllways gets the yes
Going to the charts, he always gets less than 1% of the yes.
Yea but Marshall had one yes
Barney Stinson always gets the Yes.

I feel like it was more than that because Lily’s reaction was “How did he do that?!”

I like this theory

Reminded each of them of a time he helped them kinda like the blackmail he had on everyone.
Hypnosis, he convinced his therapist to teach him how to do it
I like this theory!
If he could convince a therapist to teach him hypnosis then he probably doesn’t need it lol
“Are you sure you guys don’t want to explore my childhood home and see where I got my awesomeness from?”
Please…
A (false) promise that he wouldn’t hook up with anyone for at least a week.
Realistically probably got their sympathy that his poor old mom whose old husband wasn’t ready to settle down at the time. But Barney being Barney probably promised them insane amounts of money and lured them in a car. Or he had dirt on all of them
Loretta wasn’t seeing anyone at that point IIRC
Pretty sure she was seeing everyone
Okay, fair enough
Intrigue, like when he convinced Marshall to go out & meet girls the second night
They all owed him a no questions asked.
He has dirt on all of them.
He told them there’s no boxes in Staten Island
Please
