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...
Say hello to the contributors.
July 28th will be a sunday? in 2010?
OK
Typo! It’s the 25. I corrected it.
chris, have i told you how special you are lately? well, you are. oh, and stop fighting with the internet, we talked about this.
Loved the 60s theme of the podcast with Mad Men and That Thing You Do. Now I want Tom Hanks as Mr. White to guest star on Mad Men. Or maybe Betty will stay at Lenny’s motel in Nevada.
That cig pack looks mighty familiar.
I appreciate the Doctor Who references. I don’t know any Who fans and I crave hearing said references because I can’t make them myself.
The Sesame Street story is the best thing I have ever heard!!
Yah! Board games!! My fave board games: Pandemic, Last Night on Earth (it’s got zombies).
Soon to be a shirt.

i don’t mind the dr. who references at all (even though i don’t watch the show), and i appreciate that lost still gets a mention! i believe rich was in an episode of lost in season 5….
looking forward to the 25th!!
Correction, just listened to the podcast again. Not where “are” the balls, but Where the Balls?

Great podcast! What’s the name of the song that played before the outro?
“The End of the World.” That was the Brenda Lee version, but the original was done by Skeeter Davis. Also covered by the Carpenters.
It’s a classic!
Hi Chris! My boyfriend and I are huge fans of the show. Also we’re from Hawaii and we completely understand Jonah’s quips about home (although not everything is quite so bad, some things have changed a bit). Hopefully, you guys all come out to Hawaii. We are in general desperate need of some good live shows.

Hate to channel the river of rage that feeds this beast known as the ‘internets’, but having heard Rich on The Kevin Pollack chat show I noticed his douche level has risen in the interim. I enjoy the show and his character but it is just a tv show, an increasingly popular tv show but still just a tv show. Try to keep a level head Rich – nothing lasts forever.
Another good one, that Mad Men cast is GOLD.
I, too, love the Dr. Who stuff, you REALLY need to get some of the cast on at some point. I started with the Eccleston season and have been hooked ever since.
Congratulations Nerdist podcast. You’re theme song has been added to my list of theme songs that instantly make me happy because I know something fucking brilliant is about to ensue. Other happiness theme songs include the theme songs from Arrested Development, Curb Your Enthusiam, Weeds, and Always Sunny in Philladelphia.
I’m not an expert and I’m sure you have plenty of people giving technical advice of the quality of podcasts, but, the range of volume on this one was larger than usual. During several times, people were simply speaking and it was very quiet. Other times, laughing or yelling would break out and it was very loud. Dynamic Range Compression, or simply Compression might be the technical answer to decreasing the range in volume. Maybe something to consider? Love the podcast and seeing you live in Seattle was a blast! Thanks!
As someone from the Milwaukee area, I want to thank you for the kind words towards us and Minneapolis.
As a Doctor Who fan, I’m always happy when the show is brought up on the podcast. It really cracks me up! “45 seconds!”
Great show and now for some shameless self promotion. I am training to be the first internet daredevil. Ahem, what the hell is Dr. Who? Look, no net! Now bring on the Nerd Rage!
Hey Chris!
Great Podcast!
What is it about people who work on Mad Men? They are all so funny!
