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.
Whats up hotdog!
The fish is because it was an acronym for some shit back in some language and they could draw the fish to not get persecuted
Hitlers wasn’t jewish, thats a myth. Hitler hated the jews because they wouldn’t buy his art
Deee-lightful podcast! From someone who is also very relationship prone with a Christian background ( even though I’m more on the agnostic side now), this is now becoming one of my favorite podcasts to listen to.
Pete Holmes, you are awesomely funny and fun to listen to!
Definitely looking forward to more.
Wow, when they were talking about “Chelsea” I was momentarily aghast that Holmes and Silverman were chummy with Chelsea Handler. Thank God for another Chelsea (Peretti)!
I remember that some news show did a (stupid) story on the Seinfeld music – it probably was, at some point, someone’s voice, but when they showed the composer for the show, he was using a keyboard for all of it.
So…yes it’s someone’s voice but no it is not.
Halfway through – great episode!
Another fantastic episode. Super funny. I love your show, Pete.
I immediately had to look up that fact about the Seinfeld theme song on Google. Then I looked up where Tom Petty was from.
Loving the show Pete!
This may be my new favorite podcast. Please release it three times a week.
Alex is mostly right. The fish comes from the Greek words “Iesous Christos Theou Yios Soter” roughly “Jesus Christ, son of God and savior.”
That phrase is then abbreviated as “I.CH.TH.Y.S” (Both Ch and Th sounds are single consonants in Greek) which is the Greek word for fish.
Hence, an easy an secretive way of showing Christian fellowship and support would be to scribe a fish in public
This episode, to me, was the most insightful on the before and during life of a comedian. I agreed with so much of this conversation it was invigorating! You go Peter.
She sounds so Stooooned.
“I’m kind of like that with sex. The second I come I’m like ‘what was that all about? I was like a werewolf five seconds ago.. and now I’ve emptied my tank and I just want to sleep.”
