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...



I haven’t heard the mellifluous voice of Jonathan Katz since I was a youngster who was obsessed with Dr.Katz Professional Therapist, and i am super enjoying it straight out the gate. Yay!
Katie’s laugh is extra super precious here!
The two hours just flew by. Probably the most enjoyable podcast I have heard. Just delightful. Love Dr. Katz!
Wow, I didn’t know Jonathan Katz has MS! That sucks. Sounds like he’s doing okay, though.
Good episode. Love Jonathan Katz
Pete, the dive bar you went to in Atlanta is the legendary Clermont Lounge. I had what was probably the best NYE of my life in that joint. Anyway, I enjoyed the podcast and can’t wait to see you in Portland next month!
i love love love the podcast.
but dear lord pete, you don’t know who tom snyder is? and you talk over both of them the entire podcast?
have some humility, my friend.
pete the thing you say on the show most is ”i know ive said this on the show before.”
This was a really fun episode. I am shocked at how quickly it passed! Katie is awesome btw!! I love this podcast more and more with every episode!
fuck yah – pete went to the Clermont! atlanta’s best!!
GooD TiMes aT the ol’ ClerMont ….
the most casual and the second most casual “keep it crispy” ever
The ‘this life makes as much sense as an afterlife’ idea is idiotic. We have overwhelming EVIDENCE for the reality and history of human life and evolution. And there are literally trillions of galaxies so the fact that life formed on a tiny fraction of a percent of planets is not incredible. We have ZERO EVIDENCE for an afterlife. Stop making this dumb brainwashed xian argument.
But otherwise good ep.
way to not get it, germ.
great one pete! thanks Dr Katz and Tom. Living legends
Tom Synder sounds so much like Bryan Cranston. A very decent podcast. Good job Pete.
Germ – it is an inarguable issue. Afterlife is a 50% chance. What does it hurt if someone takes comfort in the idea that it is a possibility?
Pete getting killed by crispies at the end was the perfect wrap up. Great episode.
