Nerds get bullied - but nerds who are also "spazzes" as Dan describes his younger self, get the worst of it.   The comedian/writer opens up about the abuse he endured as well as the tactics one can employ to minimize it.   He and Paul talk about science, atheism, hostile audiences, the questioning of one's sexuality and the difficulty in silencing internal messages that were literally pounded in.
