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...



Pete’s laugh is so joyful
crouton factory? HAAAAHA
Pete – Thanks for cranking out the eps even though you’re busier these days. I know I’m not alone in saying you, Katie, and your guests make Wednesdays and Fridays at my boring job not so bad. Looking forward to the second Shane Mauss ep!
What Erin said.
Thank you Pete!
Hey Pete, just wanted to let you know I listened to this episode while riding out the night in Hurricane, er tropical “strong” Isaac. Thanks:)
A couple years ago, way before becoming a Weirdo, I used to get Shane and Pete confused. I thought they were the same guy, just from seeing them on random TV spots, Conan, premium blend, or gotham, or whatever.
The cigarette story at the Crouton Factory was awesome. I got a deep belly laugh from that. “womp womp womp CIGARETTE womp womp”
Thanks for listening everyone! I had so much fun!!!
Shane was hilarious – one of the favourite episodes. Please bring him back to tell the long story he didn’t get a crack at.
Haha…I grew up in the same town as Shane and know of the infamous crouton factory!
One of my favourite episodes! Shane is also a hilarious comic!
