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...


New Nerdist, more Nerdist shows! God, the entire of Nerdist industries is like my own personal heroin!
Just watched kevin smiths red state, so creepy but real, just wanted to know what you guys thought about it………………………thanks Big C for all you have done for nerds everywhere
That was meant to be a quement. My bad
So weird, that Dana’s voice is similar (imo anyways) to Paul F Tompkins. A dirty version of the the cake vs pie joke, now with baby rape! Always fun in the nerdcast space. If you guys are annoyed by the praises, here’s another one, suck that manlove in… *whisper* “I love you…”
Count me in your secret club. Ed Wood is my favourite movie.
Why no hostful?????
Fantastic episode.
Dana Gould was fantastic, one of the funniest dudes ever on the podcast, great show! Also in a slightly off topic quemment I must once again say, I love the book Chris, its freaking awesome and all of the wisdom and advice you dispense is great! All hail Nerdism!
Another funny ass podcast, you guys should collectively pat yourselves on your backs, cause I can’t remember one of your podcast that wasn’t funny/entertaining! I was thinking though, instead of ending your show with “Enjoy your Burrito”, you should get in bed with Frito-Lay, and say “Enjoy your Doritos!” End every show with a loud ass “CHRUNCH!” Feel free to send me some, thanks!
A little while ago, I went to Matt’s fruit stand for some fruit-item support, hoping to see him while there. Instead I met Dana Gould. Good times.
I love how I can hear the same person on Nerdist, Kevin Pollak, and Sound of Young America, and yet hear three entirely different but equally satisfying interviews. Might also have something to do with the fact that Dana Gould is crantastic.
Love Dana Gould. His comedy is fantastic.
Today Tom Sawyer has a mean, mean stride.
Super excited to listen to this one! Dana Gould brings it every time! Funniest stand-up around and one of the best podcast guests, no matter whose show he’s on.
Is there going to be a hostful this week?
Beth: Yup. Last week I was all over the place promoting the book so we couldn’t do one.
Loved listening to this episode. Was just over a friend’s house this weekend and he has the book It Came from Bob’s Basement. Sent him here to get the this episode post-haste.
Great episode. I loved his comment about masking panic attack symptoms with drugs. Perfect!
Great interview on the Adam Carolla podcast this week! check it out!
One man, one quest, a journey to the depths of space and time, a ride down the escalator to a quiet unimaginable, a loneliness even the hairiest of hermit would fear, a silence so deafening, only a cliche like “a silence so deafening” could possibly describe it.
Feel like a roller coaster ride to insanity? Follow me, as I explore the quietest places on the nerdist comment thread. Follow me as I explore, gulp, the limits of my own sanity.
bing! Please turn to episode 116.
