But it can really shape, I think, the way you view the world. — Chris Baio

I feel like there was an easier, more coherent narrative to find, than you can now. — Chris Baio

I can work every day of the year. TV is easy. My call's at 8:30 a.m. I'd like to break out of the comedy thing and take a shot at something serious like theater.

And you can hear music in a very different way, depending on the way a DJ presents it. — Chris Baio
