  4. Hey Chris – Congrats! Been listening a lot lately and the ‘host-less’ (or ‘hostful’, can you tell I’m only on Eps. 60) shows are great! Keep it up.

  6. Is this the point where the hipsters jump off because it’s gone too mainstream, or simply brag about how they were listening before it was popular?
    Either way, Congratulations!

  7. Yeah! Only the best laughs/ minute ratio on the webs. Suck it Carolla. Congrats guys.

  8. Salutations fellow nerds, long time listener of the podcast (love it like a fat kid loves doughnuts, wink wink Matt.) 1st time quementer. Just wondering if you had in your plans, any podcast that would be centered around gaming?. Could be a “hostful” or guest podcast, either one would be AMAZING (wink, wink Chris). Will continue listening faithfully, enjoy your motherf@#!ing burrito.

  9. That is awesome! You guys keep on getting better and better each week. I can’t wait till Littlefield Ny

  12. Yay!! A show I like and respect is getting recognition. Chris, Matt, and Jonah are the best #Noodlestories

  13. CONGRATS!!! Now more can enjoy what we’ve already known for awhile!! Thanks for getting me back into the Doctor! I watched back in the 70-80′s when I was younger, but somehow missed the tardis on the new series. Barrelled thru seasons 1-5 with Netflix and Amazon to be ready for premiere on Saturday…..only to find out our cable package doesn’t include BBC America :-( . Thank goodnesss for Amazon, Impossible Astronaut ready for viewing today!! It’s burning a hole in my laptop waiting to be viewed!!!

  14. Woo Hoo! Well done sirs!!! That completes the first step of your master plan: dominate the communication channels.

    Next step is to infiltrate the food industry…we are mere months away from animatronic versions of Chris, Matt, and Jonah to be located at Taco Bell Drive Thru’s worldwide wishing passers thru to (dalek voice) “ENJOY YOUR BURRITO!!”.

    Finally, when the time is right, skynet will issue the command to the Nerdist Tacobot 3000′s worldwide to begin the enslavement of mankind.

  15. Congratulations gentlemens. Love the podcast and looking forward to fellow Australianite Rove McManus being on the show.

  17. Awesome news, but I’m torn between my love this podcast and smodcast. Perhaps some sort of illicit podcast threesome is in order? (well again anyway, the cross podcast was great a while back). Congratulations , you guys are doing the lords work out there.

  22. Well deserved there, chief! i’d like to think you British audience had a huge part to play ;-)

  26. Yaaaaay, Nerdist! And no matter what iTunes says, you’ll always the top comedy podcast to us. (To those wondering how to keep Nerdist up there, I believe iTunes rates according to # of downloads, comments, and ratings. You know what to do.)

  27. Oh, I thought you meant that the first Nerdist podcast was put on iTunes. How silly!

  29. How does Happy Tree Friends beat WTF with Marc Maron, and where’s Doug Loves Movies? !

    Congrats to you and all! That’s super great!

  31. Pretty awesome!

    You totally turned me onto Doctor Who, by the way. I had no idea that show was so awesome! Thanks!

  32. I’m so glad! I’ve been listing for about six months now, and I’ve gotten my hubbins in on it too. I kind of feel like it’s more in line with our thinking and lifestyle than many other things in our cultural wasteland. While half my friends are moving to Seattle and becoming raw vegans and the other half are discovering PBR and meth…it’s nice to find a happy medium for the tricked out techies with obsessions that go beyond normal (see Harry Potter, Dr. Who, Simpsons…). Anyone who can throw out a random Simpsons reference that only the truly well-versed Simpsonite can get is worth listening to.

    PS….Ricky Gervais can SUCK IT! He is such a hateful little pug now. That stand up special almost made me cry. So he lost 25 lbs and now all he does is say how the overweight are disgusting and intone that they don’t deserve to live. I don’t know…I’m pretty awesome.

  37. That is truly good news, great job guys!

    I can honestly say that you, Mr. Hardwick, have inspired me to create a podcast of my very own. I really appreciate how you go over the process with other comedians on your show, and how you tell prospective stand-ups/podcasters to simply go out and do it, as there is no set path. Keep up the good work, and we’ll continue to enjoy our collective burrito.
