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.
Woohoo late night with nerdist podcast. they don’t call me eager beaver cause I’m canadian.
The only good thing of being home sick is that I can listen to this now. ^_^
YAY, couse it wasnt late night for me, but early morning on the east coast. and plus i am out of work so no need ot be sick too! and then Dragon Age 2 demo later, today gunna be a good day.
You bruins are so adorable
Got DAYUM, you’s a snappy dresser, Chardwick!
Now I can die a happy man. Wil on Nerdist.
This podcast fucked the snake out of the cage.
Oh Hardwick…..you had me at Saucy Picard.
Ooh saucy picard, sounds like a dream I once had!
Make. It. So!
Despite already gleaming with awesomeness, that picture is nothing without the cornflower tie. I want that tie.
Couldn’t stop laughing. Crazy antics you two got yourself into. Thank you!
The “Nerdist Podcast Drinking Game” has pretty simple rules. Drink any time Chris mentions having a notebook for writing jokes, and drink any time he mentions that he was college roommates with Wil Wheaton (there are subrules involving Memphis, bowling, or Hawaii, but this is the gist of it.)
This episode is gonna give me alcohol poisoning. I just know it.
This is the greatest thing I have ever heard
I just thought I’d let you know that this episode does not seem to be working. It just continuously says connecting. Maybe it’s a problem on my end, but I doubt it, because it only seems to be this episode. Just thought I’d bring it to your attention. Good day to you, sir.
Wow, Chris and Wil look very young for their age…which is 25 of course!
Dang it! I was going to be a Good Mother and take my kid to playgroup. Now I am going to have to stay home and listen to this instead!
When he starts school in a couple of years and gets a bad mark on his report card for stunted social skills I’ll blame you.
Here is a flash from the past.
I guess they don’t allow embedded video here.
I love EVERYTHING about this episode. Thoughts of Wil and Chris having MST3K viewing parties is my new go-to “Happy Place”. Also, let us not forget the Video Toaster. (FUN FACT: My eye doctor was college roommates with a co-developer of the video Toaster.)
Feel free to bump into me with your mind-boners any day of the week, fellas.
Yay! Can’t wait!
Chris you have no idea how similar you are to me and some of my friends it blows my mind. I wish I could have conversations like you have with Matt, Jonah, and Wil every day. And I’m so buying your book in physical form when it comes out! It sounds like near the end of the year so around my 20th birthday, I know what I’m asking my parents for
You are awesome. Also, when is the next live Nerdist Podcast at Meltdown? Home of the Nerdist Empire!
Strippers! D&D! Surgery! Saucy Picard! What, no hookers? Heh. Still, I’m sure it will be a geektastic podcast. Listening now…
One of the best podcasts yet!
p.s. Did you F*%k the snake out of the cage? LOL
You guys are making my face muscles hurt. More so than Adam Carolla, Wil deserves a nerdist podcast return in the future. I already love you all forever. Let’s make it love x infinity.
Best episode yet, only now I wish Wil was a regular.
To whom it may concern,
Please do this every week, three times a week.

Amazing episode!
I do not want to be one of those demanding fans. But I think the quicker you get Wil back on the podcast, they happier Nerdist fans will be.
Kudos to everyone involved.
I’ve been waiting for this podcast since the day it was official, and it’s worth all that wait.
Great episode! One of my favorite Wil stories is when he’s teaching one of his sons to drive (I think it was Ryan) where he asks him “What’s the first rule of driving?” and he replies “Don’t be a dick?” Wil says, “Well, yes that’s a rule, but the first rule is everyone on the road is trying to kill you.” Both are really good rules to live by.
This is a great ep b/c these are all new stories that I haven’t heard before!! Chris, you have a magnificent talent of getting stories that your guests haven’t repeated time and time again. Kudos to all of you.
This might be my favorite episode so far!
On a side note, you need to have an inspirational poster contest for that photo
This was great…thanks!!!
I am GEEKING OUT!!!!! This so awesome!
… Epic …
By the looks of things, WW has a promising career as a Doug Benson impersonator, or the lead in the forthcoming Doug Benson biopic.
That was great! And disturbingly moving at times…
It’s understood that there’s no way the Nathan Fillion/Wil Wheaton – Nerdist Podcast cannot happen, right?
I had to give up on my work after about 10 minutes in. Kind of difficult to code a CMS while your eyes are tearing up from laughing so hard.
Talk about nergasim. I was cracking up at work and didn’t even care. Very nice episode.
Well, that plastered a giant grin across my face for an hour and forty minutes. Loved it all to crazy.
I would pay $0.99 to hear Nathan Fillion on the Nerdist Podcast, and I would probably pay $1.98 if Wil were on it as well!
This podcast made me happy.
So true about sharing star trek with a parent. Used to watch original Star Trek on the weekends (syndicated reruns) with my dad as a kid. It was on thing, perhaps the only thing, that we could relate to each other over.
Jump forward past the terrible teen years and I was serving overseas in the military at a remote duty station. In those pre-internet days if you were isolated – you were really isolated. We depended on the mail, Stars and Stripes, or the occasional expensive phone call to keep up with the world and family.
My dad started sending vhs tapes of this new series called Next Generation. They made new Star Trek! The mail was slow and unpredictable. I’d get a tape in and an party would be thrown. Didn’t matter what time of day (if we weren’t on duty). A group would gather round, and we’d all watch. It didn’t matter if you were a Trek fan or not. People would watch just to see a tape of TV from home; commercials for products we missed, food that we couldn’t get (pizza!), promos for television shows we’d never heard of, news teasers for events that made no sense, and so on.
So I’ll always have fond memories of Wil Weaton, Next Generation, Diana Troi’s cleavage, and my dad taking the time to tape that show for his son and his buddies half way round the world.
Thanks,
-10 for spelling. Wheaton, Deanna, plus any others.
Sigh.
Best podcast ever.
Chris and Wil need to get married. or just get their own podcast! One of my fave episodes yet.
Very entertaining, but you guys try too hard to be funny all the time. Just relax, willya?
excuse my crassness but…..FUCK YES.
I love the mentioning of the Bat Boy in this episode. I wonder if Chris or Wil know about the broadway music “Bat Boy”?
Everyone thank you a million times a million!!!
This ep was beyond fun for all of us. We’ll have Double Dubs–as I recently started calling him–back on for sure.
Mr (or Mrs) BigDickJones: we don’t try too hard to do anything. we are who we are!
Over halfway through listening and words cannot properly convey how enjoyable this episode is!
