I Think You're Overthinking It

Comedy EN ↓ 1170 episodes

Hey it’s me! Chris Hardwick! This new old podcast is now called “I Think You're Overthinking It," because, well, I am an incurable overthinker. Are you? Probably! Why else would you have clicked on this? Do you lie awake at night analyzing some random conversation you had in 2009 on a loop? Or every one since then? In an economy of attention where our minds are on overdrive every second of every day it seems damn near impossible to pump the brakes on our inner chatter.

Recorded live at the California Academy of Sciences for SF Sketchfest! This was done in the African Hall amidst a collection of animal exhibits, but we on the Nerdist podcast managed to capture the finest exhibit of all--the unruly and wild VERONICA BELMONT. See what I did there? I made it sound like she was one of the creatures. Truly, though, she rules a lot, as you will hear. Also, the audio is...

Penn & Teller 05.10.2011 1:22:10

Okay! It's really a solo Penn Jillette show. But I knew Teller wouldn't talk anyway so I just listed it as "Penn & Teller". Thought that would be clever and amusing. As I'm typing it, I can see now that I was wrong. Too lazy to delete it all and start over though, despite the fact that it would actually take me less time to do that than to explain and disclaim it. I'm weird! I'm a crazypants! Cock...

Talk of the recently aired Nerdist TV show and upcoming Walking Dead aftershow. Jonah starts a new job next week and Matt is working WHILE he's podcasting! A very industrious episode of the Nerdist Podcast padded with silliness and general chimpery. Btw, "General Chimpery" is the name of my Flaming Lips cover band. And a TV show I pitched in the 80s where a primate takes over the Marine Corps. Lea...

Tom Green 17.09.2011 57:51

Tom Green chats about becoming a 10-year overnight success, American football and the misconception of Canada as 'Merica's li'l brother. A fascinatingly serious interview! A darker shade of Green, if you will. Ugh. I already regret typing that. And yet, I didn't delete it for some reason. These qualifying sentences are FAR more effort. It's difficult for me to focus my attentions on the right thin...
