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.
This was really great. The 2 Holmeses (Holmii?) have a great dynamic together.
Whoa, that one got deep. This was one of the most engaging podcasts so far, and I actually backed it up in a couple of spots, just to hear what was being said again.
Well done, guys. Please do another show together, you mesh wonderfully.
Great Show! I’ve enjoyed this podcast from the first episode, but the dynamic on this one was fantastic. I especially enjoyed Pete’s snorts of glee when Dave would bring up a topic he was hoping to touch on. Delightful!
Ryan: I want a Holmes & Homes podcast called “Holmiis” now. Please universe, hear my plea!
This was a fun episode! The Brennan episode hurt my brain so much I couldn’t get past the halfway mark (the only episode I just couldn’t listen to so far), and this episode kinda made up for it! I hope you have Dave Holmes on again – soon!
Dave is a very enjoyable guest. This episode ran longer than most, but I felt like there was still much more that could have been covered.
I would also like to say that Pete’s observation regarding journalists ruining each other’s takes by speaking over their audio is indeed correct. I work for a newspaper and have had TV reporters try and steal my interviews before, so my approach has been to interject a lot during the interview by say “uh huh yes ok” over and over throughout so it’s unusable for the TV folks. I will note that this isn’t with malice toward the competition; I’ve only done it when they’re trying to piggyback on my work instead of doing their own interview. Cut-throat biz!
I must say, after essentially going ape-shit on your podcast the past few weeks, I’ve listened to them all and it’s so great to see how you’ve really grown into your own skin as an interviewer. This episode really showed some prowess around some sensitive subject matter while retaining that intellitard vibe that we all like so much.
Oh, and I apologize for that strange email I sent you a couple days ago. I was sleep deprived and my two kids were running around the house screaming while I was writing it. It almost felt like drunk-emailing at the end there. …*sigh*……fuck.
thanks dan!! and everyone else for the good words. dave was a great guest!
Just finished listening, I loved this episode. I have enjoyed all the episodes, so thank you Pete Holmes, but this really got at me. Thanks for this.
