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...



We want Greg Behrendt! Cudd4life!

Bukowski: The Genius Of The Crowd
16 minutes in, and Gary quotes one of my favorite Vonnegut lines, who is one of my idols and my favorite writer of all time. This is gonna be a good episode.
Pete Holmes and Gary Gulman spreading joy left and right. Great episode!
Pascal’s Wager is what you were thinking of Pete. But let’s be honest, if there is a god, he’s gonna see right through that bullshit so I don’t think it would be smart to bank on it that way
“Sometimes when I’m on the road and I land in a new airport, I pretend I’m an assassin.”
“Of course, you do Gary, of course you do- because you’re a human man.”
“And nobody knows. I’m the best type of assassin.”
And then the D&D story broke my heart. Oh man… Also, Boston accents are freaking hot, so thanks for that.
Please have Gary back often.
thanks all! and thank you for posting that poem! good lord that’s good.
dear pete, i’m really disapointed that when gary said chunk of change you didn’t make a reference to chicken
The “Go to the edge of the cliff and jump off. Build your wings on the way down.” quote was from my hero, the recently deceased Ray Bradbury.
Great episode, guys. Gary’s apparent sense of wonder and lack of pretension was refreshing. “I mean, I did Nicholson!”
Great ep, Pete! I saw Gary Gulman live once too — never thought grapes could be so funny! He seems like such a nice guy. Also, it’s so completely endearing how much Chris Thayer wants to make you laugh.
Wow, loved this episode!!! Cannot beat the Kurt Vonnegut and Charles Bukowski references. Also the dollar store discount joke is fucking hilarious, I don’t care how old it is.
Does anyone have that Chris Thayer seger cover isolated on youtube or something, yet?
Here’s a link to the “Rock and Roll Never Forgets” video that Pete played in the episode:

A great episode. Camus & Satre references? Gary is perfection.
” . . . and other events such as running from this guy.” Haha! I could totally picture that. Great podcast!
Gary is just charming and this whole episode was hilarious. Thanks Pete and Gary!
I worked at the dollar store and they did say I could just take some crap.
