EP. 27 — Visit from Nerdist
If you’re going to get nerdy about sports, you must invite the boys of Nerdist! Matt Mira and Chris Hardwick step away from their Doctor Who dvds and Wired magazines to bring their unique perspective on Boston and bowling. We get a little inside baseball about the world of podcasting, and Chris answers the all important question: What happens to those oversized novelty checks athletes get? Tiger Woods stops by to weigh in on the “Tiger Mother” scandal, and to try out some jokes for the first time. Get tickets while you still can for this Sunday’s LIVE Sklarbro Country and possible bear roast, and get legal with it over at Legalzoom.
