Summary

A caller tells me how she made a fake tinder profile to get back at a guy who is now a close friend of hers. We discuss whether or not she should ever tell her friend that the profile was her. Afterwards a self-described shut in tells me how his isolation has started to get in the way of his life, a caller believes their life might be a scripted TV show, and a final caller is stuck on a rock…in a river…alone. I hope I can be a gecko and talk to people on the phone for at least 7 more years. I am a gecko.
