I’m your nerd host, Chris Hardwick
Nerdist is a place where we nerds come together and share the nerdery that we find. It's also my home to various elements of the Nerdist Empire. You might recognize me from TV. You don't realize that's where you know me from, but it is. You think you went to college with me or I look like your cousin's friend, but that is not the case. At one time or another you stumbled upon me on your moving picture box in such cerebral gems as MTV's "Singled Out" and Noam Chomsky's "Shipmates." and so much more...


I am loving this podcast! Great job Chris!
Thanks for making my day! This is some funny stuff. Couldn’t stop laughing at dbs vs hipsters.
why in the fuck is this so late? its already march.
This podcast keeps getting better and better! I’ve listened to the tom lennon one about three times and it’s still hilarious…I have to control my self from laughing in public while I listen to it, which is not easy stuff. So excited to see what’s up next!
Always good shit. I just want more now.
Rob Huebel is da man. Yeah, I used “da”
loved it… thanks for the funny…. i could care less if it comes out a bit late… i’m just happy that it’s there at all… thanks!!!
I still can’t believe your world and Motion City’s have collided. There is nothing better about my day than this.
I really appreciate that there is ALWAYS a Dr Who reference in these podcasts.
you need to write and publish the places to rape book based on the fact the sales would be MUCH better than what you would ever really want them to be.
“Pussy! High Five!” s first marketing campaign should be “celebrate your love of ‘tang while hanging out with nothing but wang” or “really douchey haircuts and insecure sluts” or ” come here to hate people with out enough melanin showing”
and yes, I’m probably trying to hard…
Why the hell were you guys talking about Valentines day… its March… WHAT THE HELL!
Just joshin, great stuff, makes the long commute to work just a little shorter.
Thanks, All! You are ridiculously kind.
And Brian, I love your slogans. Especially the idea that the douches of “Pussy! High Five!” would know what melanin is.
Good stuff!
Why are you guys talking about Valentines Day all the time? Someone had to do it.
Great podcast as usual. I really loved stepping through the rift in time and pretending it was Valentines Day again. Thanks for the information at the beginning of the show, otherwise we might have thought you all suffered head injuries or something when you talked about Valentines Day.
Hrmph.
Hey, Great Podcast, as always. By the way, is this the Preston your talking about? http://www.squarehippies.com/others/2009/09/adorkable-of-the-month-preston-aka-iphone-hottie/ haha
This podcast is truly hilarious! The random order of the whole thing is what makes it so interesting no matter who’s on. Great job with the season premiere of Web Soup too! Keep up the quality work Chris.
P.S. All of us in Cleveland loved the Drew Carey appearence! He would be a sweet repeat guest after a good number of episodes.
Just wondering what the name of the band is who does the intro, and or info on them, I can’t find anything about them on google.
I WONDER if writing in all caps ever gets anyones attention…
…At the end of season 1 (Or some other time incriment) of the podcast invite everyone who was on to a pool and get their picture, and add the title ‘Celeberty Pool’ with a billard theme.
Max: The band is Anamanaguchi and they rule A LOT. Enjoy!
I’m an animation student from Philly and I would love to do the Henry Rollins flash animation for you. Send me some audio if you want and I’ll make some gold out of it.
I have to start this of with a Marc-ompliment (c), the kind of props you get from Maron. You people are fucking ridiculous. I seriously have not heard anything this funny in 913 fart years. I was a little cautious because the people on web-soup strangle Chris’s comedy. I think he is crazy funny, and tried web-soup and got screwed. This Nerdist Podcast is good enough to put you on my list for life! Ever since the first show with Tom Lennon (Bluuuuu…oooooupe!) , thru the semi eccentric ramblings of Drew, onto Corolla his bat-pole and now…NOW you guys give me freaking ‘Pussy High Five’ and ‘Then how does he keep his teeth so white?’ on this episode. You guys are making my week – every week. I would seriously pay for this. I mention the Nerdist to all my friends. Btw, maybe get something going on Facebook to increase your base? I know, fight the mainstream, but seriously whatever gets you guys more cash for what you do, you deserve it. Alright, I’m starting to Fag out here so I’m gonna go look for the shirtless Ab-guy in Griffith park.
Rob, you are kind. I send you a ‘Pussy High Five’!
I love this podcast, the Tom Lennon one is by far my favorite but they are all awesome!! Keep up the good work and I cant wait for the next one!!!!!!
I am a listener and I have heard of Eight is Enough. No googling required. Hated the show.
Then again, I’m 41 and a long time TV geek.
“So if you’re a gay guy and you think we’re hot, tell us!” That absolutely has to be the best quote I’ve ever heard. Ever. I have these all on my iPod and you don’t know how much less boring it has made my life.
My only complaint is that now I am forced to spend time searching the holographic principle (the thing about how the universe can be expressed either as a three dimensional universe or as a reflection on a two dimensional surface) to find out whether there’s some new theory about that stuff or whether you all were just giving a mangled version of stuff I already know.
On the other hand, I’m pretty well pleased to have stumbled on to such a funny podcast which is also liable to bring up the holographic principle in passing. So thank you.
Enjoying the shit out of the podcasts! I have been brushing my teeth with dog semen for a week now and haven’t noticed any whitening yet, but I my eye brows are getting super thick. Am I doing it right?
great podcast as always guys.
i am a closet nerd and have a bunch of douchbag friends i hate. But, i am a sophmore in highschool and the only way to get girls is to hangout with a bunch of idiots. i just wanted to thank you for the podcast so i can have quiet nerdgasims alone in my room. thank god for this podcast. i will never be able to get through highschool without it.
my favorite episode of the nerdist podcast by far! thanks for introducing me to MCS. they’re an awesome band.
I’m late to the game but wondering if Rob Huebel ever found that dog’s owners or if he became the dog’s new people. And if so, what did he name the dog?!
