Nerdists, unlike nerds, tend to be creators as much as consumers. They're creative consumers.

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

The 'Hipster Nerds' like stuff because they hate it. It's like they ironically like it.

I categorize nerds as creative-obsessive. A lot of nerds are creative people who obsess almost unnaturally over the minutiae of things.

I've gone from being bullied by jocks as a kid to being bullied by nerds as an adult.

I made a lot of changes in my life between my twenties and thirties, and it all sort of revolves around how I think people with nerdier brains tend to problem-solve and approach things differently then "norms."

Stand-up isn't something I just sit down and start writing - it's ideas you come up with in the shower, while you're driving, waiting in line.
