Growing up in the 70s and 80s, it took effort to be a nerd. You had to seek out the nerd stuff.

I think when I look out and I see there's so much negativity in the world and a lot of people are unhappy and a lot people are anxious, it just feels like that's one view of the world. But you don't have to always focus on that view of the world.

The goal of almost every comic is to find a comedy voice - a specific point of view that an audience can latch onto.

Twitter is really a hyper-distilled version of how the internet should work - short bursts of relatively useful information.

Traditionally nerd-based culture is now a big sector of pop culture.

I like listening to people talk about things that they love. They get to express things they don't normally get to express.

I think doing the podcast may have been one of the best career decisions I've ever made in my life.
