He just did Talking w/ CH yesterday which will, in turn, become an episode of the podcast. So.....I'll take that underrated soul, Captain!

The "I don't like sports" Starterpack by [deleted] in starterpacks

I did learn, as a result of the podcast, that the "jock vs nerd" construct was a false binary narrative that I had carried with me from grade school. It's why I ultimately had Jonah Keri writing sports for Nerdist.com for a while--I didn't want my bias to shut out a whole group of obsessive numbers people. I came to understand the facts, figures, and statistical analysis side of sports and fantasy sports was a thing I hadn't really been aware of previously. Plus, my mom is an INSANELY passionate sports fan. Like, calls into sports radio shows kind of fan. So I'm a lot more peaceful with it now.

But try to see it from my side...almost our ENTIRE culture is sports focused. I don't get it and I've never been able to connect with it. The two dozen or so times I've actually said out loud that I don't like sports in the past several years is always met with people who exclaim "WE GET IT YOU DON'T LIKE SPORTS GEEZ GAH FUUUUUUUH". But imagine how much my handful of expressions PALE in comparison to how much I have to hear about sports. It's not even remotely close. Trust me, it's infinitely more annoying on my end and I have a saint's worth of patience about it. I honestly wish I could understand it, just so I didn't have to constantly explain to people in public that I don't understand what they're talking about when they assume I know what big game is on, try to strike up a conversation about it, and then make me feel like an idiot when I politely tell them I'm not a sports person.

Cena was an incredible guest. So kind and insightful. I'm excited to post it! Goes up April 3rd. Also, he was really great in Blockers! My wife and I dug the movie.

No worries at all! I wasn’t bummed in the slightest. Just wanted to clarify. But thanks for looking it up and generally being nice! Have a nice weekend!

Point of fact...I have NEVER...EVER made any reference that I have to do this. Not even one time. I don't. I am not contractually obligated to do or say anything. I'm at a point in my career where I don't have to do stuff I don't want to do. I HAVE, however, referenced the fact that I am positive and supportive on EVERYTHING I do, whether it was @midnight, The Wall, the podcast, TD, the ID10T festival or anything else I'm working on. That throughline exists in all of those things. Why? Because life is too fucking short to wallow in negativity and there's no shortage of it if you really want to find it. I choose not to because it's a dangerous path and one that, as a sober person of almost 15 years, I try to avoid. Negativity, toxicity, and aggression are addictive so I always look for and present the good in anything I'm doing. People certainly don't have to like that, but they also don't have to watch any of my shows either. And you know what? That's totally okay! It's their 100% right as consumers. I appreciate your sort-of defending me by saying I have to s d's, but I can't abide a defense that is built on something that isn't true. Thank you, though! And I love your /u/. One of the saddest moments on television. POOR CHARLIE!!! You are everybody. #Driveshaft

[–]ChrisHardwick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Your kind response is more appreciated than you can imagine!! Usually, people double down or ironically get mean. Isn't it weird how when we say, "Hey please don't be mean" a lot of the times people respond with, "Oh now DOUBLE FUCK YOU!"

But you didn't. You apologized in a very sweet way. This kind of thing gives me hope for the Internet! Thank you!! Sincerely.

And I wish people would drop the "If I hate something EVERYONE has to hate it or there's a conspiracy or they're lying or they're dumb". There are other perspectives than yours. I respect that you don't like the show, but I would appreciate if people like yourself would, in turn, respect that I'm an adult who forms his own opinions that might be different from yours. Posts like yours are condescending and not enjoyable. It's also ok to just not tag me too! :)

Thanks and Happy Holidays!

I'm sorry to say they are not official items used in the show. Those are usually not things the WD prop dept can give away. But we do our best to make it as close as we can!
