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 am so goddamned excited that Pete Holmes is on.
There we go!!
I’ve been waiting for this forever! Pete and Todd are truly the two most delightful people. Can’t wait to listen.
why doesn’t joe mackenzie have a youtube channel or something? i wanna listen to the jingles again!
WHAT AN EPISODE. One of the best in recent memory.
I can’t even express how exited I am!
BEAT IT BEIRDO!
Phenomenal show!
Todd, you should check out The Best Show on WFMU if you haven’t. Tom Scharpling is the absolute master of the radio pregnant pause. His stories have this incredible rhythm to them that is just mesmerizing. Here’s something to get you started, it’s Tom doing an epic takedown of Billy Crystal brining out his ridiculously racist blackface “jazz man” character at a Just For Laughs benefit for Hurricane Katrina. It’s pure radio magic:

Daniel Kinno thinks that 365 times 1/2 equals 700.
Also 115 pounds a year is 0.3 pounds a day, not too far off from Todd’s guess of 0.5 pounds a day.
@eric how dare you, the show’s not smart or funny without the lime
I heard he once got laid by saying he was Nick Swardson.
@Alex I haven’t heard this before and that was fucking hilarious. Absolutely lost it at “where’s my suicide machine?”
Pete was great. I would love if he could become a recurring guest. His energy works well with Todd’s.
The funny thing about Daniel Kinno impersonating Nick Swardson is that Nick is the grandson of Estelle Getty, AND Betty White. A true amazing fact showing how deep an impact the Golden Girls’ had on American Society.
This was so good I wanted to slow it down so it lasted longer. Such amazing chemistry.
I don’t understand why Pete’s not on the show all the damn time.
Blaster Girl!
More Jacuzzi Thoughts.
Jesus, I love Pete Holmes so!
Hey- I started uploading some jingles in response to judy’s comment about a youtube channel. I just put up the You’ll Have a Blast jingle here – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5MYCCWeC_E&feature=youtube_gdata
I’ll add more soon-
THE BEST! That was so funny it kinda scared me.
Can’t believe no one has commented on teh intro to the intro to the intro. Soooooo many intros and they’re all so funny, keep prefacing and keep over explaining Todd!
