Summary

GET TICKETS FOR THERAPY GECKO LIVE: therapygeckotour.com

In an hour long call that made me feel like I was on MDMA, a drunk couple talks about how they’ve grown and why they feel the need to be perfect.

Afterwards we read geckmail about the pros and cons of spending $60k to live out of a bus, starting a Beyblade tournament, and hostel travels.

These KitKats taste like pennies. I am a gecko.
