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.
Finally, someone is talking about the Take 5 candy bar!
Finally, someone is talking about Pete’s adorably obnoxious laugh!
Interesting lesson in sociology. Meeds more weird.
Pete Holmes trying to censor his laugh makes me sad.
I love Pete’s laugh, it makes things funnier when he laughs so hard at them.
Even though I’m very firmly agnostic, I do always look forward to the religion discussion.
Yes Take 5 interests me but Mr. Goodbar is so elusive here and so simple… And glad I’m not the only one who looks angry when thinking. Being brown and having facial hair plus that makes a lot of places weird.
Why did this podcast make me sad?
Pete not laughing made me sad. I look forward to Pete ‘s laugh. Makes me feel alright. That alls nice out there. Laugh on brother. Laugh loud.
Laugh loud Pete. Don’t let this guy teeter you around. Laugh in his fucking face.
Albert Einstein was a Pantheist. I think in a lot of ways, fulfilled atheists like Carl Sagan must have thought we’re all part of a bigger organism, scientifically speaking, human beings prove that the universe is experiencing itself.
Holding in the laugh is KILLING me!
LPHL. Let Pete Holmes Laugh.
His laugh is the best & I look forward to it every week.
Haaaa, thanks errr’one! I WILL KEEP LAUGHING. And getting shushed in restaurants. Probably with Nick.
And thanks Spray-Tanon for the Einstein Pantheism info, that’s really interesting! There’s no way that’s not coming up in a future ep.
LPHL and KIC weirdos.
Nice podcast Pete–you guys are fun to listen to. Nick’s got a good mix of nonchalance and thoughtfulness that I’ve always seen as confidence. This peek behind the curtain was fun. I hope he makes it back on your Laugh Factory show one of these Wednesdays.
I am right there with you on the Take 5 candy bar. Anything with pretzels is awesome. Am I really only the third person excited about this?
C’mon Pete, Terri Schiavo
Had this discussion not been so interesting and entertaining I may have been distracted by the fact that I was not enjoying a delicious Take 5 candy bar.
No seriously, the Take 5 candy bar is the best candy bar in the world.
WWKW?
LPHL indeed! I love it when people have unique, genuine laughs. The quirkier they are, the more likely I am to laugh just hearing them laugh. Pete’s laugh makes me happy.
Take 5s = all that you want in a candy bar, none of the bad stuff like nougat.
“Albert Einstein was a Pantheist. I think in a lot of ways, fulfilled atheists like Carl Sagan must have thought we’re all part of a bigger organism, scientifically speaking, human beings prove that the universe is experiencing itself.” what an incredible comment, Spray-Tan. Not to get all Bob Saget but, I’ve really never thought of that way before.
Great episode.
Bananagrams is a delightfully fun game. And Pete’s laugh is also terrific. Keep it weird.
I so love Take 5!
