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.
Spot of for King Of Limbs.
Pete, love your show! Love it HARD!
This was an especially fascinating episode.
But, I feel it to be an egregious oversight that you did not go with “Crispinicity”. Crispinicity forever!
manic mongo smash! great podcast!
yikes… very interesting. especially after watching homeland, which features a manic/depressant person as the main character.
at the end of the show, it seems like pete is backing off a little bit, nodding, affirming and just plays a message from his dad to change the subject/release the tension.
I found that…unpleasant.
Loved this episode. JFod is so honest & open about his condition. Pete seemed uncomfortable at the beginning but it was so great once things got rolling!
“Dave Matthews sucks because he looks like Tom Hanks”
God your deep.
I loved hearing JFOD retell his moments of mania…very helpful for anyone dealing with paranoid thinking and how real it feels at the time…Thank you both!
‘Do you want to make love doggy style?’
JFOD is the first person I have ever heard describe bipolar disorder in a realistic and accurate manner. I can’t thank you enough for having him on. It sounds like he’s a slow-cycler, and that can really screw up your perception of the world. He’s incredibly aware. So great.
I am not going to be able to listen to Swayze’s “She’s Like The Wind” with out thinking about the Lord.
I loved this episode so much. It’s not an overstatement for me to say that JFOD said some potentially life changing things. He is one of the deepest, weirdest, coolest and smartest guests you’ve ever had. When he went off about the evolution of consciousness and maybe it’s jagged and raw and ugly…oh my god. I loved it so much. I typed out the whole thing, saved it for myself, and sent it to the comedy-sex-god email. Thanks for having this incredible guest, Pete. And you were top-notch, as per usual.
