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.
This episode brought to you by Tequila Distillers of America
Loved this episode. One of my new favorites. Would listen to you guys talk for another three hours
I’ve always liked Alison Becker (funny! marvy actor!) but now I love her. Adorable tequila-nipper!
I’ve had the most ridiculous crush on Alison for so many years. I need a little private time after listening to her.
This episode was great! Is it me or is Alison a vocal twin of Sandra Bullock? Loved it all!
The “kissed Michael Jackson’s crotch” confession at the beginning might be the most adorable thing ever said on this podcast.
“Straight pubes always kinda bum me out.”
“Who wants to give a kid food? They don’t know SHIT about SHIT.”
Free podcast.
I’m with you Pete, I need to sleep with a fan on.
“I couldn’t be gayer, if I wanted to fuck a guy named Keith.” HAHAHA Love it!
The violence really hits me because I feel strongly about just a concept of pointless violence.
The thing is I fantasies is the people living through the pain that I inflict upon them and being a living example know exactly why they were punished and most impotently being broken mentally to the point of tears that their ego is no longer able to say ‘fuck everyone else’ and now accepts that they are the reason they are in this torment, never doing this sort of thing again and putting shame and fear into others not to try anything like that.
In reality I know this wouldn’t work. In fact I can’t stomach torture as a state police that I think the new CIA directer will perpetuate this practice in the US for people whom might not have done anything at all, thus senseless violence.
I remember seeing her on Fuse and crushing so hard. She is a gem amongst non-gems. What a pleasant surprise to find out she and Pete are friends!
Why does Pete keep saying he doesn’t have a drinking problem? ::amused::
Alison seems like such a sweet pea! I didn’t want this episode to end, loved it! I also related to her on the level about all the different emotions you can have when you decided to leave a relationship (end up doubting yourself and the choice you made.) That really hit home… On a lighter note, can’t wait for you to come back to SF for Sketchfest!
Somehow this wonderful episode is made even more wonderful by hearing Katie laugh so much.
Just bought some stuff on amazon using your link
Pete, you have a wonderful podcast and I want to thank you for hours and hours of amazing conversations, from the serious to the ridiculous.
Very interesting episode. Took an interesting change of tone at the end. It got to me fore some reason and I”m not sure why. Someone was chopping onions and I just barely threw them in the basement in time. Every episodes seems to contain something somewhere in it that I needed to hear that day. Could be that I’m forcing my brain to relate and connect thing to my specific issues when I’m out of ways to do so in a normal way, with conversation. I see how religion can be convenient to turn to. I often envy people that are able to believe in a higher power and that everything happens for a reason. Now that I made myself sound completely emo… As always, I love the show. Hearing Katie laughing in the background is always awesome. Keep it up, Pete. This show does a lot of good for for many of your listener.
Shawna Malwae-Tweep! One of my favorite character names ever.
Great episode, Pete! Alison is a delight.
Panera is not owned my McDownald’s – http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Does_McDonald's_own_Panera_Bread
“She was a Panera” =Worst Insult Ever
Love Gabbin’ Like Gals! epidsodes! &Alison Becker is adorbs!
Nothing like a perfect dick and kale juice.
(Gotta add some fresh pineapple though)
I hadn’t seen that Batman Can’t Stop Thinking About Sex short yet, found it on College humor and almost died laughing, great stuff.
Inception is amazing! I disagree. And yes, I don’t think Pete has a drinking problem.
The Glen Wolverton story blew my mind.
I couldn’t find the internet video of megan neuringer crying. Do you know the exact link? Did I get the name right? Don’t worry. I need it strictly for sexual puposes.
So glad Pete was able to work in a mention that he is well hung. What a dork.
