Oh my god, thank god you guys were able to intervene, who knows what that guy would’ve done.

He has all the “nice catholic boy” red flags, minus being catholic. I confess that I listened to his podcast because it did talk about mainstream sci if and fantasy, while bringing in interesting guests. He always gave me that smarmy, petty asshole vibe.
I was thinking the same thing. I’ve listened to Hardwick’s podcast on and off in the past few years. When #metoo started, he was noticeably quiet about it. On at least one occasion his opinion of a questionable person caught my attention as a potential red flag (glowingly called TJ Miller a “force of nature” when he…
This guy has been on my radar as a scumbag for 20 years. Back when I was in college he and Bob Sagat would go to the local Tuesday dollar pint night and skeeze on college-aged girls (Sagat was the oldest person in the bar by a good stretch). This was post-singled out, pre-his surprising second act, and he was super…
His enthusiasm, to me, always read as nervous energy rather than genuine interest. Doesn’t take much reading between the lines to see the deep, intense, glaring insecurity come through. I tried to listen to his podcast the other day after having not listened for several years and he was still whining about the same…
I was turned off by the way he and Wil Wheaton talked over/ignored the only other guest on the Doctor Who after show. It was obnoxious and off-putting in a very familiar way. Do I even need to mention the other panelist was a woman? She clearly had things to say, but their enthusiasm seemed to trump everything.
I am the non-standard Jez reader (In my opinion at least, white male, 25 and been on Gawker sister sites since I was 17) but was a Gawker Alum who migrated over after The Dark Times. I have ALWAYS hated Chris Hardwick. He was off-putting and gave me the exact same fake funny/date rapey vibe like a guy I went to…
I want to believe it’s what you said but I’d say more likely it was just a business decision on his part. He sold the company in 2012, he’s gotten significantly more famous since then so he could probably have more control and make more money by taking his show and starting a new company once his contract with Nerdist…
Managed to defy my low battery:
Can anyone who knows the ins and outs explain why he’s no longer at Nerdist and its parent company? Wishful thinking to think they got wise and let him go?
I know a lady who is like this. She is the worst.
I’m booing just for reading Tim Allen’s name.
Stormy aka Stephanie is a world-class modern day shero and people like Meghan McCain should be ashamed of themselves for asking her condescending questions like she did today on The View.
It probably doesn’t cure anything (especially none of the awful things), but hell if it isn’t the only thing that gets me to sleep since my husband died. And keeps the PTSD cancer death related thoughts at bay.
These jabs are great and all, but this motherfucker was still part of the reason Trump won. The whole hand size thing...can dudes stop thinking about their dicks for like 2 seconds?
Funny story: One of Wyatt Earp’s jobs, as deputy sheriff, was to confiscate the guns of people who came in to town. You could have your gun back when you left town, but you couldn’t have it while in town.
Man, I wish I could live until 2068 when conservatives of that time will be praising Kaepernick for his ‘non-violent protest’ the same way they do MLK now, even though when both men were doing their thing, conservatives totally hated their guts.
You don’t see chainsaws or ATVs in Manhattan, BKLYN, LA, Chicago, Boston, Seattle, Portland, Austin, Miami etc et... so I disagree. It is very abnormal to own chainsaws and ATVs. Same is true for guns.
Since 2016, every time I read an article anywhere, my first response is Jesus Fucking Christ. True story.
I can’t find the news article now, thanks to this news development, but there’s a connection between states that have concealed weapon laws and guns being left in the bathroom. (You can’t go to the bathroom with your gun on your body. That’s why guns keep getting left behind.)
