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.
great episode Pete! thank you Ron! i liked what you guys were talking about at the end in regards to “work”. i think a lot of people nowadays have boring/unsatisfying jobs, and need creative outlets. It’s too bad so many ways to make money are mindless at this point.
Are they talking about Rory Scovel?
“…I wrote down “heteronormative”… do you know what that means?”
^Side spliter^
Good stuff. Just sweetness.
After this show, you are officially my favorite podcast Pete! I love how you are able to weave comedy around interesting topics like “spirituality” (sorry for lack of a better word) meditation and mushrooms!
By the way, doing just a bit of mushrooms and meditating is the way to go!!! Seriously…..do it…..
Thanks for the great show!
thanks everyone!! glad you enjoyed. chris, if i do you know i’ll talk about it on the show. HONEY FUNCHES 4LIFE!
Nice to see you putting more people of color on the show. Your universal perspective is translating well. People are weird no matter the race.
Nice! Looking forward to it….
so i’m a pale nervous kid who sometimes musters up the stamina to blurt jokes into open mics in portland. i’ve never kicked it with ron but everyone in town clearly loves him ecstatically and recognizes that he’s setting the bar on stage and off. one of those dudes who you just want to see win at everything, also just the baddest joke writer in town. now he’s moving to LA… maybe he’ll do for portland what steven wright did for boston… anyways this podcast is goddamn great and i love it a goddamn lot and listen to it goddamn constantly. all us new kids are paying attention. keep paving that road, holmes.
“Free podcast? Free podcast? This still a free podcast?” — getting a kick out of that running gag!
Did I just write, “getting a kick out of that running gag”? Let me check — Yep. Sure did.
Great episode Pete! What a great discussion! Hilarious, and fascinating. “I was gonna ask you about pain and anger.” “I saw that on your notes, right next to ‘weed’.” (ensuing laughter) “This one says, ‘love self massage’.” (more laughter) It’s Holmes’ for the win! Such awesome silliness.
Has tj miller become the new go to reference? What happened to Chelsea? To many complaints about you referencing her to much? Either way I’m loving all of your “free podcasts”! Thanks!
i love podcasts the joy in your voices was tangible u r both very introspective and good at describing peoples inner angst. there is something higher than just being human and you both are higher forms than most.you are right there is something good coming for both of you,grab the brass ring guys it is there for you
Pete: You can make your own commercial for Hall’s where people are like “Hey man, you haven’t been laughing as hard” and your like “no… I’m fine *wheeze wheeze ha*” Then you look over at the bag of halls and pop one in then it does the smack zoom to your adam’s apple then some crazy fantasy then an over the shoulder shot of you doing your podcast and your ridiculous warm hug of a laugh and a guest like Chelsea giving you that “Oh God it’s Back” look.
