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.
What’s the last podcast mentioned? I caught “Walk in the Room” but couldn’t make out the last one… Help a brudda out.
…This burrito is falling apart…
Love the love for Crowded House! I just had to go listen to Intriguer again.
Next time they tour, I highly recommend checking out a show. The new incarnation has really gelled and there’s a great combination of “why have I never seen these guys?” fans plus the rabid loyalists who follow them around. They have lots of fun with both with each other on stage and with the audience. David Byrne played two Talking Heads songs with the band here in NYC and even he seemed impressed with CH’s ability to play with their crowd. Good times indeed.
Oh! And! Somehow I feel you, Chris, really enjoy the song “Either Side of the World”. Amirite?
Ha! Chris was on The Minstrel Show. I thought the announcer was black. Ahh, I’m sad he didn’t tour with them, I would have saw them in theirs and mine hometown of Durham NC. Alright nerdists, stay black!
I love this podcast. You guys are so positive and adorable. It makes my day.
Double Post!
I hate to Nerd out and correct but it’s annoying me.
Fred Jones Part 2 is the song that Jonah was referencing, not Fred Jones Part 1. Part 1 isn’t even titled Fred Jones, it’s called “Cigarette” and it’s from Whatever and Ever Amen by Ben Folds Five.
Please don’t think that bad of me, but I’m a huge fan of Ben’s and I can’t help it.
Self deprecating humor aside, it is still alienating and off putting when you get the whole “girls don’t like cool stuff!” comments from all sides.
And let’s not get in to the whole evo psych shenanigans…
I love this podcast. I only discovered it a few months ago and I’m trying to listen to every past show in order… I will never catch up to the current shows. I feel like Doc Brown trapped in the old west… damn you Marty!
I imagine in the future/present yous guys are arrogant, jaded, ultra famous, getting all the pussies types, but in my timeline you are wonderful and have such honest positive spirits. Thank you for this show, it has improved the flavor of my burrito! I hope your arm works in the future J-Ray : )
