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

My best friend, Wil Wheaton, identifies himself as a geek.

I think being an outcast is what sort of strengthens the nerd movement, because you're isolated, so you have time.

My father was one of the greatest professional bowlers of all time. Seriously. Billy Hardwick: PBA Hall of Fame, Player of the Year in '63 and '69, and the first winner of the triple crown of bowling, among other things.

When I was growing up, I was as socially outcast as any nerd could possibly be. I was in the chess club, I brought D&D stuff to school, I had every game system you could imagine, I spent countless hours at arcades, computer camp, loud presence in the Latin Club. All that stuff.

I'm just gonna do a podcast because it's mine, I can control it, I have complete responsibility over it, and no one can touch it.

There's a lot of laughing on a horror movie set. They're magical in that way.
