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 just want to say I completely agree with you on words that shouldn’t be said and I won’t say them because who should? I gave up on Adam Carolla’s show a few years ago though. I was maybe…14 when he was in my head during Loveline, but as the show progressed I would just grow to see I am not like him. I feel I grew up as he didn’t. He consistently refers to his son as “probably being gay” because he isn’t good at young child sports. Basically all I want to say is the people you refer to as the grrr…can’t remember your terminology! Sorry!! But the people who are reasonable and can see the truth.. I just want you to know I knew the correct line at age 10 and grew over my childish sense of humor by 15. Just hearing you speak about things did really give me a lot more courage about calling other people about their ignorance though. You’re an awesome guy and thank you for helping give me courage to speak outright about it!
I’d love to hear Todd’s thoughts on the most recent Nerdist podcast (Anthony Jeselnik, #305) regarding choice of topics/words in comedy. It’s a very audience-dependent issue, and like (Almost) Dr. Kevin speaks about, culture doesn’t change overnight.
1 – You must be 17 to by a violent video game, so don’t by them for your kids.
2 – The average age of a gamer is 30 so many of the games are not made for kids they are made for adults.
3 – A game costs $60, parents must give kids money to by it.
I don’t like people complaining about violence in video games when you can turn on the news and see that the government is killing people over seas. Or when 33 states have the death penalty.
I think real violence in war not to mention the violence of sports is much more of a problem then fake violence in games.
Can someone help me here…..when Todd said he didn’t like mixed race relationships was he playing a part or was that forreal? They skipped past it so quick I missed what was going on as I was walking into work. I want to assume it was a part he was playing because of the email but I’m not sure. Be
Hey Anthony. Don’t worry, Todd was definitely kidding. It was one of those quick things where he plays a part, especially after an email. Like the “gross” or “weirdo” comments he throws out when someone writes him a heartfelt letter. Anyway, great show full of good points as always. Please have Dr. — oops, I mean Almost Doctor — Kevin on again!
