  2. Jon Stewart said it best about Steve: That he was taken too soon and that he wasn’t done giving all of his ideas to the world.

  4. Please please try to record the Avengers panel.

    Feel free to mock me with a “No shit Einstein” response.

  10. Big C, you need to get serious and watch THE WIRE. Fuck all those Walking Dead, Hung and everything else. However good you think any show is, The Wire is far better.
    And I can’t wait to hear you guys talk about The Wire at some point in the podcast.
    So, seriously, watch it!

  11. “The Amazing Story of Quantum Mechanics” is indeed a great book. It explains how much of our modern technology is possible thanks to an understanding of quantum mechanics. “The Physics of Superheroes” was also awesome. I was always good at physics, but I still learned some new things. I’m paying forward Matt Mira’s recommendation of “Groucho and Me” which I read and enjoyed.

  12. First off love the Podcast, but seriously whats up guys watch Fido or the end of Shaun of the Dead. If they can move carts and play video games then they can stock records. Somebody just needs to develop the proper collar, and manual labor will never have to be done again.

  13. speaking of fan mail, I’d like to send you some. But either the address is not posted, or I simply am an idiot… What is the address I can send fan mail to?

  16. Matt sounds spoiled, whiny and entitled on this episode. I love the podcast, but this horrible attitude really poisons the mood of the show. Matt – please cheer up! Are you having clove withdrawals?

  17. Matt you keep watching Bar Rescue and Restaurant Impossible! If you are entertained then continue to be entertained. I learn a lot about the bar and restaurant biz. And save your money like Chris says.

  18. Great show. Yahoo had an article today trashing Jobs from the New York Times.

  20. Wait did Steve Jobs touch his nephew? I do remember that movie. There was a fat kid that had to drive the race car. See Thomas howl. Howl Thomas howl. Power Of The Dark Crystal (2011) IMDB. Jonah’s nickname is THAT DICK. Reality TV makes me wish I’d killed myself in high school.

  21. I JUST decided to go to Comic Con the other night. Wish I had decided sooner, so that I could have gotten tickets for the live podcast up there. :-(

  22. Alright, I am one of those people who only watches scary stuff under controlled conditions. It’s not that it scares me during the movie/tv show/book. If it ended there, it would be fine. I am a grown damn woman, and scary stuff still gives me nightmares. I record “The Walking Dead” so that I can watch it later, further away from my bedtime. Do you guys really not get nightmares from watching this stuff? I don’t think I had a full night’s sleep for six months after reading “World War Z.”

  23. I know this is a bizarre place to ask this but I thought someone might know from here. Did anyone go to the Paul F Tompkins comedy central show on Friday? If you did, did you happen to catch the name of the opening act or the name of his podcast I would really like to hear more from him.

    Thank you and sorry if this was too weird but I could not find a comments section on Mr. Tompkins website.

  24. LOL. I checked through the guest listings of Doug Loves Movies and found the name. David Huntsberger. YAY!

  27. @Popcornamurai – Get ready to enjoy the shit out of Professor Blastoff. If you don’t already know who Tig Notaro is, you should also prepare you have your mind blown out. Four-way-tie for “Favorite Comic Ever” between her, Bamford, Tompkins, and C.K..

  28. That was a truly terrible Australian accent :-) I work in Brisbane too, and although I don’t have as long a trip to work as Nigel (it was Nigel, wasn’t it?), Nerdist makes my commute a bit more enjoyable as well.

  32. I think the obvious parody is this:

    I’m too skeksis for my love too skeksis for my love
    Love’s going to leave me

    I’m too skeksis for my shirt too skeksis for my shirt
    So skeksis it hurts
    And I’m too skeksis for Milan too skeksis for Milan
    New York and Japan…

  34. “Why would you do that?” is my favorite line in a podcast in many a moon. You go, Greta. :)

  37. Important note:

    1) I am drunk.

    2) I am team Jonah.

    3) Long time fan.

    Ok, so what I want to say is that Matt kind of seems like he does not give a shit on the last couple of hostful podcasts. Again, I LOVE this show and I fully support all members and all that jazz. The last couple of hostfuls have been extremely hard to get through, every interaction seems to be stopped fast because Matt just can’t take a moment to give a shit (excuse my lack of creativity). I would never say anything because for the last forever the whole gang has done a fantastic job but lately something seems to catch. It struck me that Matt did not bother to order the Nerdist pilot and also Chris’ book, to me that just seems like a sort of careless friend thing to do. I have plenty of friends who have similar behavior, it’s not that they do not care for their friends, they just don’t really consider other people on a day to day basis. This show is fucking great, and since Matt has ‘succeeded’ he seems to treat the podcast as a needless consequence (just my opinion) and the last 2 hostfulls have suffered (again I could be alone here). Matt you are hilarious, please try to not complain so much and discount every solution Chris and Jonah offer to your 1st world problems every week. Just trying to give constructive criticism, I am not complaining about free content and love you guys. I hope my GF meets you at NY comic con!

    Dave
