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.
Another great episode Peter. Another great episode.
“why would I go camping? We built all this sh*t for a reason”
yesssss! it’s pretty f’in crispy if you ask me.
OMG the coffee thing had me cracking up I feel the same way about coffee I drink it everyday and I really dont even like it.
hey i am mormon and this is my favorite podcast! haha
Great get. I’ve become such a fan of Chris’s that if I don’t see his name on the lineup at the Comedy Store, I don’t bother going in. His riffs that are at least as funny as his written stuff, and every audience I’ve seen of his has loved being “pulled.”
The murder fantasy/infomercial/sober stuff was very surprising to learn. I bet there was more to that if Pete had asked about his family.
Btw, Chris’s repeated phrase that Pete couldn’t remember is “we made iiitttt!”
The laid back and relaxed feeling is great and the honesty in the discussion is incredible. I look forward to learning new things about Pete each episode as much as I do the guests.
Saw you at UP in Chicago! Nice work sir!!!!
Great to hear Chris not in stand-up or Ten Minute Pod persona. I always seem to magically forget that a screen or stage presence is just a manufactured act to have a desired effect, so it’s sometimes refreshing to hear that they’re actually very different – in this case much more humble, shy, reserved than I thought; which I respect.
Plus it’s touchg to hear him talk about his friend Bryan Callen, cos if you listened to Ten Minute Pod and were a gullible like me, you might think there was some genuine dislike there. I guess they’re just very good actors.
So all in all really Interesting interview – thanks. I love your style of interviewing Pete – your fantastic laugh and joviality conceal a lot of knowledge and wisdom.
