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...



Abortion. The Holocaust. John Mayer. Which is the greatest tragedy? She is a delight!
Not that having an abortion is a tragedy necessarily. Sometimes not having an abortion is the greatest tragedy of all, I guess I just dont know which one i would rather see perform(ed). I digress.
Haaaaaa! Kristen (jokingly) pressing Pete on his eTrade $ is such a hilarious mirror of last week’s episode.
Can’t wait to listen. (I have to save em up for the weekend to give the appropriate amount of attention.) Oh and Pete, I also listen to the Mutant Season. Do you realise that you have become Gil’s Chelsea?
Hahahahaha, you’re right Mr. Jake Raven. Pete IS Gil’s Chelsea.
Kristen is so funny, and seems like a lovely, reasonable person. Much respect for all the gutsy sharing in this episode.
Great episode! And on the scale of embarrassing texts that really could have been way way worse. That one was just sweet & cute.
I’m excited for your special taping Pete. Even though I’m one of those pesky atheists I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed and praying to Jesus & Buddha et. al. that I get tickets.
Ahh! You get all my favorites! Another great episode, thanks!
Pete you are super funny. I hope your new show gets picked up! Great episode I love Kristin. She was the best in the 30 rock live show last season.
Wouldn’t it be funny if Pete’s charm and influence reached to the point where he was just getting people to divulge their bank account. Comedy, relationships, religion then Bank statement.
John Mayer has a sense of humor, look for his comedic bits with Brian Sack. Pete you could totally get him on the show. Have him reconcile with Kumail on air. It’d be Comedy Oprah.
Just some suggestions for your show. Ummm I’m totally kidding.
“I am unplowable! I am a goddamn lady!”
It was at that point that I had to pause the podcast and recover. I simply adore her!
Fantastic, fantastic podcast. She was a lovely guest, and that text was amazing!!
Have just listened, and it was amazing. Thanks Pete for getting an amazing, unplowable lady to be so candid about her faith and stuff. I’m starting a new Religion called Kristenanity. Are you in?
