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.
Alright, Karen, you just ate, now SHUT UP.
Okay I generally liked the show, but when Doug referred to the slow food movement as “the Retarded food movement” I found that really offensive. I know you can’t please everyone, but that word is considered extremely offensive in some circles.
On a side note wish I live out there so I could try those Hot Dogs too.
Logan, grow up. “It’s offensive” doesn’t mean anything.
Could almost taste those hot dogs. Glad you didn’t put any ketchup on them (a real no, no).
Byclops the two eyed dumbass, grow up to the point of death. “Your opinion” is not worth sharing.
Who is listening to a podcast about eating and is bothered by chewing on mic? Also, who is bothered by chewing on mic? Do you never eat with other people? Do you wear ear plugs when you eat? Get a grip, weirdos.
“Rodrigo” ‘s closing was adorable. Another great show guys! Keep up the good work!
I know it’s cheesy, but maybe the closer could be something like politely saying, “Now if you’ll excuse us, muthafuckas…” Either that or some witty dine-and-dash banter. Just some food for thought (pun intended).
I don’t mind eating with another person chewing inaudibly about a foot in front of me. But if they chew with their mouth open, make sucking, smacking, and breathing sounds, and do so directly into my ears, I mind that. The on-mic chewing was so much better this episode, but even the most minor amount of it can make the show unlistenable. ABCANCON: Always be caring about not chewing on mic.
The show at the moment seems to be about refining Doug’s food palate, but I kind of like his perspective being the balance to all the foody talk. All the talk about nitrates would have annoyed me if Doug didn’t at least ask the question, is it bad to have a nitrate in a hot dog?
Oh, and I vote Brian Posehn for first guest! Would be hilarious.
Love the theme song, great show.
Are you going to alternate between who chooses the chef?
To answer the question “Should we have a weekly guest?” Hell yes!
I want to hear Tompkins, Gaffigan, Patton and Maron riff on food? I want Bourdain and Spurlock to introduce you to some cuisine they’ve come across. I want to hear something more than *NOMNOMNOM*.
I love this show. I listen to it right before I go home from work to get me excited about eating. Please keep making them.
As for the guests you mentioned I would be most excited for Proops and Posehn. I don’t know if Karen is mutual friends with him, but James Adomian does the most amazing Merrill Shindler impression that would be amazing on this show.
Good episode, thanks for not chewing on mic, now I can listen on my headphones. The song is fine and I vote yes for guests.
You misspelled Jeff Cosgrave’s twitter handle. I tracked him and Briana down for this animated version I’m working on. If anyone else decides to go looking for them, it’s @cosgraveyard and @TheBestBriana
