Chris hardwick. He hosted a dating show way back, then came back around rebranded as this like “hey gang, let’s all geek out about nerd shit huahua” host of various shows and podcasts. Guess you’re lucky you don’t know him
Yeah, it hasn't been a clean break, but my life has been slowly pulling away from nerdshit for a while now. It's all turned into an anything-goes, yay-self-debasement passive media consumption trip for a while now, and I can't believe that's not as obvious to people my age as it is to me.
