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.
I think his point about “nobody cares” is that don’t do creative works to please others, do them for yourself, and don’t obsess over the small details because ultimately they don’t really matter to anyone but you. Usually rough enough is good enough, as long as you’re doing it right, and you’ll know where that sweet spot is after some experience under your belt.
Congratulations on 50! Your positive outlook and attitude is an inspirational change of pace from the usual cynicism so prevalent everywhere else. You’re a true gem! Here’s to another 50! Thanks for staying so upbeat!
That thing about the ears fucked me up. I hope she is Ok.
The People-Food domain seems to have been bought up and turned into a recipe website. Does that Baboon Runner video exist anywhere on youtube or vimeo?
This was such a great interview, and I really appreciated hearing the perspective of a healthy artist. I agree with so much of what Daniel is saying here, and I really admire his outlook. Thanks so much!
Baboon Runner is indeed a classic! And those of us privileged to know Daniel appreciates that he lives his life the way he says–and, more importantly, he enables others the freedom to do the same. So many good parts in this, Riki, thanks to your interview skills.. Another great job. Looking forward to your next Stessen video!
