On today's episode, I have comedian and musician, Mike Phirman! I first met Mike several years ago at Meltdown Comics in Los Angeles and have always wanted to have him on the show. Mike was nice enough to join us at our hotel in Los Angeles to record this episode. We were planning to record this episode at UCB, but due to some unforeseen circumstances, we had to quickly change to our hotel room. In the episode, we talked to Mike about growing up in California, discovering Weird Al as a kid, writing comedy songs, creating Hard n' Phirm with Chris Hardwick, performing and recording with Weird Al, drinking at Chucky Cheese, being a dad and raising his kids, writing new music, being the one-man band on the Nerdist TV show, and so much more. We had so much fun talking with Mike on this episode. Make sure to check out his videos and pick up his songs on iTunes on all of the links on onthemicpodcast.com A huge thanks to Mike Phirman for taking the time to join us on this episode. It was so great to finally sit down and talk with him. Make sure to follow him on the links below. Watch his videos and buy his albums below! Thanks, Mike! Enjoy the episode!

Chris ponders the psychology of stage-hogging, Jonah recounts his trip to a wedding in Jamaica, and Matt Mira gets an apartment with Greta. PLUS! Nerdist TV show writer Kristen Rutherford pops by and talks about teaching her baby sign language.
Yes! The 10th Doctor himself, David Tennant, in a sit down chat with Chris in a very posh English library! This is the full unedited audio from the segment on the Nerdist TV show (originally aired 12/24 on BBC America, probably available on iTunes now). Chris and David chat about Doctor Who, Harry Potter, The Incredible Hulk, and working shirtless. PLUS! MANY fan questions answered. He was nine kinds of awesome! NINE! I counted! You asked for him (so did I)! Here he is! Now enjoy this Scottish burrito (which sounds like a filthy sex-thing but it isn't)!
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.
The guys talk about Philadelphia, the upcoming Nerdist TV show, and the recent Stitcher Radio controversy. Plus! What's a Cockadoodle? AND! Nerdist Podcast charity auction winner Mindy Holahan drops by and bears awesometastic gifts! Think of it as a Hostful+ !!!
Chris reveals details of the forthcoming Nerdist TV show at BBC America! Jonah talks about "Team Jonah", and Matt gets his first dose of the Web's poisonous bite-y side.
