"The Yips" is the 10th episode in the third season of the television series How I Met Your Mother. It originally aired on November 26, 2007.
Plot
The episode begins with Ted expressing the gyms as the biggest rip off in the world. When he feels that he is getting out of shape,he decides to join a gym and asks Barney for advice. Barney shows him around a gym, where he visits yet never works out. He rather "invests" in the gym, which includes signing up girls who are fat at the gym so that when they get hot, they come back to him to thank him. Ted convinces the whole gang to join the gym together. While they're all working out on their first day, Barney tells Ted that he just met Rhonda, the woman he lost his virginity to when he was 23 (see First Time in New York), but she did not recognize him.
Barney recalls his story about losing his virginity. He had been asking his gay brother James (though he was not gay then) for advice. James suggests Barney visit Rhonda, whom they call "man maker" since she seemed to be hooking up with a lot of guys, and Barney ends up having sex with her. Meanwhile Marshall is struggling in the gym because of his trainer, who is very stern and makes him work out a lot more than what he wished for. This leaves him whining in pain most of the time. Barney tries desperately to get Rhonda to remember him and this leads to Rhonda revealing the truth about what really happened that night. She tells him that his brother James came up to her earlier and pleaded her to make Barney happy by sleeping with him. He ends up sleeping with her as a bribe to sleep with Barney. This blows Barney away and he decides to check on himself by going to the Victoria's Secret Backstage Party with Ted & Marshall.
Once they're at the party, Barney loses all his confidence and throws away horrible pick up lines and is unable to score on anyone. Heidi Klum tries to help him out and suggests that the only way to cure "The Yips" is to go to the source, i.e Rhonda and earn your confidence back from her. Taking her advice, Barney visits Rhonda trying to have sex with her again. She declines saying that she is no longer the "man maker". Barney is then seen without a suit on, claiming that his "sexual history was built on a rotting foundation of lies" and that his identity was lost.
Marshall & Lily want to quit the gym as they were not satisfied but Ted tries to stop them claiming that the gym was a great idea. He even claims that the gym helped him clear out any sexual tension that he had with Robin. Then the gang recalls that Ted never really worked out at the gym the whole week, giving lame excuses such as "brought the wrong shorts!". They then decide to punish Ted by assigning Trish, Marshall's trainer to Ted, thus making him work out a lot. Watching him work out, Robin also claims that the sexual tension between them is gone.
After hearing about Barney's condition, Rhonda visits him trying to cheer him up. She claims that sleeping with her again was not going to solve his problem at all. She tries to spend an evening with him without any agenda but still ends up sleeping with him. This time, she enjoys sleeping with him and Barney leaves a very happy man, claiming "Daddy's back!".
The episode concludes with Marshall, Lily, Ted and Robin agreeing that joining the gym was the best decision that they ever made and Future Ted counters it by saying that they never went back to the gym again.

Trivia segment on Dateline NBC in which viewers were asked to name in what year certain events happened. Hosted by Jane Pauley about halfway through an episode, she would name five things that happened the week the program aired but a number of years earlier, and show clips pertaining to them. First she mentioned two news events, then a movie that was a hit that week, then a popular TV show of that time, and then a song that was a hit that week. Then Jane gave a choice of three consecutive years as to when these events happened (earlier versions had her giving six years). Then they would cut off to a commercial and when returning from the commercial, they would replay a sample of the song from that year and Jane Pauley would reveal the year. The year was somewhere between the early 50s and early 90s, though years at either extreme were rarely used. The things related to the year she mentioned tended to include major ones, so a person with a good knowledge of dates often would get nearly every Timeline right. Dateline Timeline debuted in June 1993 and was a popular segment on the program throughout the 1990s. Other outlets also used the Dateline Timeline format at that time for their trivia segments. The frequency of episodes having a Dateline Timeline has been declining in the 2000s, as Dateline has been focusing more on single, episode-length segments and other features. It was also common in the early 2000s for older Dateline Timelines to be recycled. This was particularly noticeable when they would have Jane Pauley reveal the Timeline year and then have her introducing the following segment having a noticeably older-sounding voice. Dateline Timeline continued to be featured sporadically after Jane Pauley left Dateline NBC in 2003, with Stone Phillips now hosting the segment.
Potentate Versidue-Shaie (Born 1E ???? – CE 324) is a character in the fantasy and fictional world of The Elder Scrolls games. He was of the Akaviri race of snake-like people and the closest advisor of Reman Cyrodiil III. A theory in the book "2920: Last Year of the First Era" suggests Versidue-Shaie was possibly behind Reman Cyrodiil III's death in 1E 2920. Upon the end of the war between Cyrodiil and Akavir it is believed that he or his family went into service of the Emperors of Cyrodiil. Upon the death of Reman in 1E 2920 he became the de facto leader of Cyrodiil. A few days later at the day when the year 2921 should have started he ended the First Era and started the CE (Common Era) ,or what is called 2E (Second Era) in current Tamriel. He ruled as Potente until his assassination in his Elsweyr palace in CE 324.
