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.
While I’m not a snackologist, I am a hoho expert. You have to get the Swiss roll ones because the hostess ones are incorrect.
I should apologize, or maybe they just didn’t like the idea, but I am the one who sent it in and at the bottom of the box, underneath the ho ho’s and a layer of packaging was also a box of Little Debbie Swiss Rolls – hoping to instigate a taste test of similar products and see where the conversation led. Not sure if they just didn’t explore that far or decided to just do Ho Ho’s.
Any snack cake made with beef fat is wrong. Hostess is a bunch of incorrect dicks.
Anyone know who is the band that plays during the break? They sounded like a band from Omaha I used to listen to in high school 15+ years ago.
That is actually my band as well – Turtle Moon.
I sent in the snacks and threw in a copy of an old CD from the 90′s that we had since they also asked for bands to send in music. We still play locally a few times a year when we find the time.
YES! Turtle Moon! You guys were like the first indie band I ever listened to. I don’t live in Omaha any more, but I’m glad to hear you still play. I’m going to have to dig around and see if I still have your CD stashed somewhere. All the best to you. And no worries, it was still a good episode!
thanks Nick, the first 3 albums are all on Itunes as well if you feel the urge to check them out and of course we have a facebook page with some old stuff and links
