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.
Awesome! Looking forward to Bill’s contributions on the Nerdist channel. Can’t wait to listen to this! I didn’t get to see much Bill Nye as a kid, but I did get into Beakman’s World.
This is the most wonderful news! I <3 Bill Nye.
Wait, wait, Bill Nye and Neil Dygrasse Tyson on the same channel?!
This may be the most awesome thing ever!
BILL! BILL! BILL! BILL! BILL! BILL! BILL! BILL! BILL! BILL! BILL! BILL! BILL! BILL! BILL! BILL! BILL! BILL! BILL! BILL! BILL! BILL! BILL! BILL!
Beaver ball screw. That is so much awesome in one name.
I was at that show in Seattle. John Keister set everything up beautifully and then Chris came out and nailed it home.
@Jake – Now if THIS GUY ( http://www.youtube.com/user/scishow ) could join the Nerdist Team or at least be interviewed for a podcast, I’ll be a happy, happy person.
Is there a way to put a giant magnet on the tip of the ship that can switch polarities to use the magnetic pull of Mars to accelerate the travel time?
Is it possible to say “Bill Nye” without adding “The Science Guy?” I guess it’s possible to type, since several people above have done it, but is it possible to say?
Oh cool @Patty Marvel! I think I’ve seen this guy in the past but couldn’t remember him. A fun new show to watch on youtube, thanks!
I haven’t even listened yet but this is already a win to me! I’ll never forget seeing Bill Nye in Los Alamos, New Mexico in I wanna saaaay 94? Anyways, he was at the local Sonic burger grabbing some food on a moped. I assume he was filming something about our National Laboratory up there but WOW were we ever impressed to actually see a TV star in our small little town. Now to get this podcast started! Thanks for this episode and thanks to Bill Nye for bringing the science!
Droppin’ science like Galileo dropped the orange….
@JetpackBlues
If that’s the start of a freestyle rap, how the heck are you gonna rhyme something with orange?
Bill Nye, intelligence, humor and adorableness, what more can one ask for in a human being.
@Doctor Quemmento
Uh, orange you glad I didn’t end it with purple?
Wait. I’m bad at this whole “Wrap” thing….
This podcast makes my high school aerospace engineering class all worth it
This is the best podcast of the Nerdist YET.
I LOVE Bill Nye the Science Guy!!!
enjoyed the carl sagan story. i love(d) that man.
The last half of the podcast made me especially happy! There was mention of my favorite Science Guy parody song (the Morrissey one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXdb3ghAGOU ) and quotes from the first album I ever bought (I actually mouthed “lucky astrology mood watch” along with you guys). Thanks for the trips down Memory Lane, gentlemen!
I’ve been waiting for this forever!! I love this!!
When Bill asks if this clip can be edited, is he implying that he wanted that part cut out? Idk.
Nonetheless, AMIGOD I’M FLIPPIN’ OUT, IT’S BILL NYE.
Thanks for the amazing podcast! Must have been so much fun to be there
What a win! Bill Nye’s so positive and funny. I love it! And Jonah threw in the exact right amount of cocaine references!
During college I used to watch Bill Nye on Almost Live! they might still rerun it in Seattle….
Stop spamming this thread you a-hole!
Ah ha! I was wondering about the comment counter. The mystery of the inaccurate number is solved. And they would’ve gotten away with it if it wasn’t for those darn meddling kids. (And @JetpackBlues.)
@Quemmento: Actually, I think the count tracks pingbacks so it’s actually the opposite of spam!
Okay I realized I can see the trackbacks (like 20 of them) in the mobile site, but not the full site. I apologize for the outburst and the misunderstanding.
