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.
WE’RE GONNA EAT
Karen! Her joke about Posehn’s mom floored me! I laughed so hard I did an actual spit-take, and had to put my head down and catch my breath for a while.
The effectiveness of vaccines varies year to year, but you want SOME odds that you’ll not get it if you happen to be exposed not NONE, right? As soon as/if you are eligible, get the shingles vaccine – because that can permanently disable you with things like nerve damage, paralysis or blindness.
Little kids are the rulers of germ transmission, and a thing people tend not to tell parents is that from like, age 2-5, you are going to get every illness in the universe from them.
If I had any criticism for this episode it would be that when listening to a food show, I don’t really want to hear all the diet talk – it kind of takes the fun out of wondering what creative and interesting food the chefs are making. I also feel like it differs a bit from the chit-chat and catching up conversations even if they’re icky (geeeerms!) – those aren’t about the food or eating so it doesn’t feel as guilt-trippy maybe? I dunno. I also know it’s pretty hard to divorce diet talk from food talk.
P.S. Karen is right, Doug looks really great! Younger even, if that’s possible!
I do love this show, and it is a lot of fun! I’m always excited for a new episode! Thank you for keeping it up, even when things are hectic! I hope Karen feels better soon!
To some extent, I agree with J. I don’t mind the diet talk, but it’s kind of a bummer hearing everyone ****ing on the lunch I have waiting for me in the freezer at work. I love the show, but more guilt trips for not eating the same food as a bunch of famous people and chefs might curb my appetite for DWD&K.
Karen’s joke about Brian’s mom has got to be the funniest thing I’ve heard on this podcast yet…
Doug I love you, but if Karen keeps it up, you’re gonna have to “Step Up 3D” your game
Holy crap you guys were right, I was waiting for the mom joke since I read the comments but I was not prepared for that. That was hilarious, it was hard to contain my laugh at work.
