Hey folks it's Lyle here we have a different kind of episode this week this is not the normal

podcast where I take phone calls from people but instead I am trying a new format where I as a gecko go out in public

set up a couple chairs set up a sign that says talk to a real gecko and I chat with people who are walking by. It's the same

casual spirit of the phone call format, but instead we get to hear people's real voices and take in the

scene of a whole place. It's an awesome time. It's ultimately my goal to do this in a

bunch of different places all over the world.

I booked a flight to Mexico City at the end of the month and I'm planning on doing it there.

I want to do it in Japan, Berlin, Montana, wherever the hell there are people, it is my goal to geck them.

One last thing before we get into the episode, if you are an avid listener of this podcast

or even if you just discovered it and you've only listened to an episode or two, I could really use your help.

One of the things that bothers me about podcasting as opposed to YouTube or Instagram is that there's no comments section on Spotify.

So oftentimes I feel like I'm doing this thing in a vacuum because I see that people are listening but I rarely get to hear from

those people about their thoughts on the show. So please if you have any

feedback at all on this podcast, whether you like longer calls or shorter

calls, guest episodes or solo episodes, if you enjoy this new on the street format more than the calls or the same as the calls, anything at all

that would help me understand why the people who listen to this listen and help me get to know the
