Podcast Episode 3: Oh Lord Uh

I just listened to this, what an incredible journey! It must feel so awesome to have achieved so much. You've reached amazing heights, and seen the lowest of lows. Thank you for not giving up❤

I knew this podcast was going to be an emotional one. GP deserves the team they have now and I’m so happy that that GP endured to see it. Syd, you are beautiful inside and out and I’m so glad you are still here and have helped build this community to where it is today. Thank you for being awesome ♥️

I moved into my apt in 2013 and found you soon after, been a fan ever since. <3 Love the podcasts but maybe there be a reverse one where the girls interview Alex?

All those retail terms in the early bit gave me flashbacks. Doing plano in the Electronics department was half of my life in college.

I have put this one off! It's hard for me to put is one in to words. But I'll try. I was like the boy in the class room no friends nasty break up and thoughts of ending it! Work sucked my kid hated me and my bills was over whelming! Around 2016-ish I was just trolling people on streams because of all the rage I had and then I seen W.G.P. hit my feed and I was like I'm going to troll them so bad! the first girl I did and she was a nasty one low and behold it was Drea! I was timed out and didn't think much about it! So the next day it was the same girl! trolled again and got banned flat out! and said F this! about a year goes by and and I see G.P. hit my feed and I was in my darkest hour! And the streamer we Little Maddie and Kenzie. And I was ready to troll them again and Moo Moo said Hello in a soft sincere voice and my jaw drop to the floor WOW someone asked me how I was doing someone cared about Me! I was speechless at that moment! I think I typed hello twice or some thing! At that moment I didn't feel alone like someone care for me! But ever since then I've called G.P. home I've seen the bad seen the ugly but Now I see the good of the whole community and proud to be apart of such Loving group of people! P.S. Now I'm a puddle of tears! LOL Love you Alex and Sydney!

Hey ladies I’ve just finished your podcasts and I just wanna say I’m so damn proud of each and everyone of you guys what you have done with everything from streams to patreon to other social media’s you guys have been amazing ❤️. I’m so truly sorry for what went down in 2017 and you all didn’t deserve that at all. I’m so happy that when I joined this community which was back in 2019 that I could just be safe and have amazing, fun and emotional times with you ladies cause you guys helped me out with so much then you know so thank you. With this podcast I just got very emotional and I honestly felt like to just give Sydney a hug 🤗 ❤️ . You guys have pulled through so much and I’m so looking forward to the future of GP and of The nerd Herdies with our community growing and just feeling like a family . So I’m just thankful to you guys and for being apart of Something Bigger . ❤️❤️❤️

This was a long but, so inspiring. I came here in tail end of 2014...seems so long ago but really picked up in 2015. I've been drifting from place to place and one community to other, never really staying one place too long. But something told me I found something special, what I hadn't come across before anywhere else. As hard as 2017-2018 were for the fandom (all though 2018 started turning better towards the end), I can't even begin to fathom how hard it must've been to you guys. I personally were dissapointed by many people, but you were literally odds with people you came to call your friends and even family of sorts. But it's too easy to concentrate on negatives. Admist all of it, you found a way to keep this place of ours alive, trough all the dark you could find a light and incredible strenght to carry on. And we all are much happier and brighter because of it, thanks to you. Less than three, now and forever!

This was amazing to listen to. Syd once again demonstrated her strength that I always knew she had. I knew the vast majority of of the stories told. Experienced and survived a couple of them. Still I learned some new things, that I'm thankful to now know. What moved me the most was the question about would you do it all again if it meant getting to this same point in life. I was so happy how fast and definitively she answered YES, she would do it all again. I asked myself the same question, a few times, with the same answer. Sydney and the new GP kept me from leaving when I thought I had some doubts during the dark days. When I saw what their love and determination was building, I knew I was right to not leave. I owe GP a lot. I have no regrets. I'm proud of Sydney and Alex and all of them. Always have been, but even more so today and growing.

I stayed up until 2am, over crappy cottage internet to listen to this. Thank you. I really enjoyed finally hearing the "conception" story of GP. I came into this channel mid-2018, once you were on your way to building something wonderful. I didn't know about the past, but what I saw, was something that just called to me. It didn't take long to see just how caring the community was, and that you girls cared just as much. I knew this was a place I could call home, and knowing the hardships you went through, realized that you would never treat the community the way you were treated. The love we spread through this channel is genuine, and I trust that everyone involved can feel it. I'll be honest and say I have great difficulty watching the old videos, even though I wasn't around at the time. It's painful to realize how toxic those people in front of the camera were, and so I just have no desire. I am so proud of you, Syd, for persevering, and growing, and learning, and being the glue that helps hold us all together. Look what you've done here, LOOK AT IT :) Just thank you again for being a Nerd Haven for the Nerd Herd. <3

Just finished listening. You are a wonderfull person Syd. I'm sorry for all the things that happened in 2017. It truely was a dark time. But dispite all of that you kept going (long after most would've walked away/ given up.). This channel has done more for me then I can ever be able to express. Don't ever lose that inner light. Much love.

I’m really proud of you. Just hearing all of this makes me feel that much more thankful that I joined your family that you lovingly created with your whole heart and soul. Thank you truly for all you’ve done her and will do here. I have my home life then work then the nerd herd. I finally have a place where I can be all of myself and you just love me as is. There’s nothing in this world like feeling cared about wanted and cherished. I don’t feel alone and I have you to thank for that. You are such a blessing dear Sydney don’t forget that

I've said this before and I'll say it again you Sydney are a wonderful human being, and I'm so sorry for the sadness and betrayal you went through, but it didn't break you, and I just want you to know I will support you and the girls the channel and the community every chance I get, also just want to say to a thank you to Alex for being such a good friend to you through all the turbulent times you both went through, I'm really happy I found you guys💜, and thank you for the amazing person that you are ❤

I already had some much respect and admiration for you before listening to this podcast. I have even more for you now. You are the epitome of grit and determination. I was still on the YouTube side when everything went down. I didn’t fully understand what was all going down. I heard both people defending you and people shunning you. I didn’t know what to think of it. The more I watched and heard the negative side, the more I felt the lies they were spewing. I knew this was an awesome bunch of girls and this channel was the best. I do agree that you just have to deal with and face the hard times before you learn to appreciate the good. I know it was hard to relive that part of the GP history but thank you so much for sharing your story and thank you for fighting so hard to create this great community.

Thank you so much for taking the time to listen to my story. That alone means so much to me ❤️ I’m also incredibly happy to have helped you get through your own life in any small way.
