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!

I just listened to your 11/13/2025 episode that you ran solo. I know I’m 5 months behind…
That episode was really good. Had you thought about doing a TEDx talk? I know you work a good bit of your thoughts and philosophies into your act and podcasts. But I do think there is an audience for you to talk about all the things you accomplished and how you navigated through it.
I would pay money for that!
Hey Chris, how bout getting more guests on. Can you get guests on other than Mike. I mean come on, what has this podcast become? The Chris and Mike podcast. How bout get some old Walking Dead friends on the pod. Even Evette Nicole Brown is better than Mike every episode!!!! Getting a little old with Mike every episode. How bout have Bryan Cranston on since Malcolm in the Middle is coming back soon. More Guests please.
Loved it. Do more of them please.
I’m so happy Chris is back. I love his podcast. He’s a breath of fresh air.
This is AWESOME! I'm glad you are back.
