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.
KYLE!
Bringing the laughs. Well done, dude.

Bee Tee Dubs, I totally pre-ordered the book at the end of the podcast. Probably Canadian pre-orders won’t count in the right way towards the fame part, but at least it should still count for the fortune part, right?
Great. The Allstate guy.
I love the podcasts with people I’ve never heard of. Now I’m down a DC Pierson rabbit hole, and I just pre ordered his book.
If you want to get a Quaid report going, you need to talk to comedienne Danielle Stewart for the inside track.
Prince is a rare black leprechaun, and in his version of Lucky Charms they have Cherry Moons, Purple Rain and Rainbow Bridges.
Toby Keith in blackface.
HAD. ME. IN. TEARS.
Zero Tolerance: The natural title for your racist against racists project. Tagline: “He has zero tolerance for intolerance.”
I don’t mean to brag but DC totally rapped about me!
FAKE!!
Are there any plans for DC’s publisher to put his novels on Google Play Books?
“Nyah, you’re taking my dick, see!” Was criminally under appreciated.
It’s not Rainbow Bridge. It’s called Graffiti Bridge. Prince fact of the day.
In reference to Randy Quaid having Kuato for an attorney: Venture Brothers had a Kuato-esque lawyer in an episode. Speaking of which, Jackson and Doc would make great guests.
This episode had every laughing so much my co-workers starts stare at me funny.
Great Podcast, thanks Big C.
Very funny stuff!! For me it had a Hostful feel! Thanks guys!
Awesome podcast, definitely gonna check out his half hour on youtube and look into the book!
God the AMA part part had me on the floor and the Git i pretty much died
Sweet moses. By the 22 minute mark, tears were streaming down my face from laughing.
Great podcast. I love “Mystery Team.”
Just to be nerdy, OMC, Otara Millionaire’s Club, was a New Zealand act with Pacific Islander members (Niue). Australian Aborigines are not in any way related to Pacific Islanders.
Is it wrong for me to say I remember DC from the Fiber One Commercial
Loved that kyle was included, something about the extra person to play off of makes me enjoy it more than the one on one episodes.
I don’t mean to brag but DC totally raped me!
Carrot Top is better because he’s not openly racist?
He’s just too arrogant and ignorant to see that he’s contributing to racism. Fuck him and his act.
If you have him on the Podcast don’t be a coward Chris, ask him to try and defend his actions.
SepbutEq.org. Best. Bit. EVER.
Holy shit this was one of the funniest episodes ever. I am definitely going out to get Crap Kingdom; if DC Pierson is half as funny in print as he was in this episode I will be SO FUCKING HAPPY.
(Also hello to the quemmenters – I’ve been away for a while. Nice to be back and writing things here again)
This was one of the funniest episodes in a super long time, and it was only toward the end when you guys started talking about Derrick Comedy that I realized why. I LOVED THOSE GUYS! I had no idea DC was from that group. Oh man, what a nostalgia trip that sent me down.
Also seconding highflyer, on an unrelate note – You guys have to get Jackson and Doc on, it would be a nerd comedy explosion.
Really good podcast, very funny!
Loved the Opus Dei Teenagers
I just died when the Ghostbusters 2 song was attempted, my sister and I watched that movie way too many times growing up. I don’t know the words either!
DC Pierson’s stand up is really great, I gave it a listen after the podcast and I loved it!
My copy of “Crap Kingdom” arrived from Amazon the day after this podcast went up! Sweet! Since I preordered it, I think my name is supposed to be included in a rap.
Over all a great episode! My only issue is Chris’ habit of taking pot shots at religious people. For the record, I’m not religious – but firstly considering nerds have struggled so long with being the butt of the joke isn’t this a bit harsh on some listeners who may be totally down with nerd culture whilst being religious? And isn’t implying religious people are idiots two weeks after having Yyvette Nicole Brown the show a touch hypocritical?
I always theorized that it was called Derrick because their names all began with D. I love hearing that I was right.
I think I sprained something laughing at all the randomness. Thank you for the chuckle-hurts.
The Deadwood Open Mic Night bit was amazing awesome! Too clever!
@Porle – Agreed! So was the riffing on Gallagher’s name, though I was surprised that Gallifrey wasn’t mentioned.
your interviews are annoying
