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...

Thanks to MIB I now have the Notre Dame fight song stuck in my head. At least every time it pops in there, I think about going to the Champs Sports Bowl a few weeks ago and watching FSU (my alma mater) beat them.
Boys you have to try my new fav snack.. Popcorners. OMG the cheesy jalapeno! I ordered a case and during a very pleasant email exchange with a rep for the company I suggested the contact the Mates.
If they haven’t done so maybe European can contact them and order up a case of my favorites snackers:http://www.popcorners.com
Much love and happy snacking!
Love the show, but don’t direct people to your website if you haven’t updated it in months. No tweets since May is embarrassing too.
Made my trip to the Nether interesting.
I agree with what Ryan said. The Matescast Tumblr and the Soundcloud page haven’t been updated, and if they’re not, I’d like to nominate myself as someone who can update it. Or anyone.
Also, I wish the item being reviewed was not posted, it’s as if whoever is doing the producing of the show or coordinating this website isn’t listening to the requests. It’s just “ooh, they’ll head to Nerdist and just download because they’re viewers, and I know they’re not viewers” but… c’mon. Like The Roots, you got me permanently, and as long as this show is made, I will listen.
Suggestion: I would like to see Mike & Tom Eat Snacks turned into a movie. Bronson Pinchot can be in it, and there can be a huge orgy where people are eating nachos out of each other’s navels while someone else provides a dip from unknown places.
In other words, keep up the good work. Also, please up this to 128kbps or higher, this 64kbps stuff makes it sound like a Tastee Freez speaker. Unless that’s the point.
I love this podcast so freaking much.
I’d like to see the photo of Mike with the poufy hair please
You can’t just go around talking about the poufy hair without showing the poufy hair.
Please stop posting the name of the snack before most viewers, I know they’re not viewers, have gotten a chance to hear the episode. Part of the fun of MATES is enduring the buildup to when they finally reveal that week’s snack. I’m thrilled MATES is part of the Nerdist team but ever since the move, the snacks have been spoiled before we get to listen to them.
Am I the only viewer (IKINAV) who prefers to see the snack in the title? Its the one bit of the podcast I can view.
who cares whether the snack is posted or not. shut up.
Thanks for reminding all performers to add payment and a working bathroom to your concert riders. Sun Chips and Vitamin Water are no fun when you’re broken and bursting.
