#nerdfighter

I'm a new phannie, all right? I'm enjoying Dan and Phil content, listening to the podcast, watching older videos, getting emotionally invested, yadda yadda.

But I've been a Nerdfighter for like 16 years. I was at the TATWD and AART book tours in college. I have seven signed books of theirs. I remember the origin story of fishingboatproceeds. I've got half a dozen Pizza John tshirts and a lot of Pizzamas merch, including a Pizza John onion Shrek sticker and a shot glass. So every time Dan or Phil mentions Hank or John Green, or I'm watching Dan's "Why I Quit YouTube" video for the first time and THIS CROPS UP IN THE COMMENTS

Also I feel like I so rarely see people talk about the childhood diagnosis process and special education system and what that experience is like for a kid. Maaan I relate to his comments on handwriting. I really struggled with that as a kid and I’m still insecure about mine.

I could probably write a whole essay on this video tbh.

Also love Hank’s “But what I always say is, whatever I have, I think it’s great.”

Been a Nerdfighter since March/April 2007 but I've never had the chance to buy something during Pizzamas

Until this fateful year
