Matt Rogers
Hello, welcome to Geck Mail. It is a thing where I read mail as a gecko, and I'm assuming that if you listen to this show that you know who I am or if you don't, that's okay. I'm I'll fill you in. I'm a guy and we have one thing in common. If you're listening to this is that we're both not dead. How amazing is that? How Amazing, is it, that we're both not dead? You know, I mean, I. What's this? Hold on, let me Google this real quick. How many of the people who ever lived are dead? Okay, okay, so if we add the number. Oh, okay, all right, look, I got it. I got it right here. Okay. 94% of all people who have ever lived are dead. This is from Google, which is, you know, smart. That means that for every one person alive today, there are 14 people who are dead. Not saying that that one person killed those 14 people, but just as a statistic. So, I mean, there's. Basically, that means that there's a. What, six over ten? How do we. Okay, what's a hundred divided by six? I'm trying to simplify this fraction. There's like. Okay, whatever. There's something like a 1 in 16 chance that you're. You're dead. That you're alive. And you're alive. You're part of the 6%. You're part of the lucky 6% of folks that are. That are still got some time. 94% of all people have no time and they're dead forever. They're never coming back if you die. If you were like a guy or a girl in the year 17, not even 1700. Let's go back further. If you were a guy or a girl in the year 1300. If you were a guy and the girl a million years ago. I don't know when humans came into being, but whatever. Some people, they died like 3,000 years ago and that was it. And we ain't heard a sound from those people in 3,000 years. And I wouldn't hold out hope, because the people that died 3,000 years ago, they're not coming back there. They were alive. The amount of time that they were alive compared to the amount of time that they'll be dead is so minuscule. And in this very moment that you're listening to this fucking podcast, you're at your part of the. You're living the tiny little speck of existence that you're ever gonna live, and then you're gonna be dead forever. And I don't know. That's cool. Welcome to Thera. Welcome to Geck Mail. My name is Lyle, and I'm gonna read mail from people who have emailed me. I cannot read mail from people who have not emailed me because there's no mail to read. So let's do this. And then. And we also exist at the same time as one another, which is kind of insane when you think about it. We're the 6%. We're all the 6%. We're all the six percent. All right. How do they know that? Demographers estimate that around 117 billion people have ever lived on Earth. This number is calculated by making assumptions about population size throughout history and applying birth rates to each period. That's fucking stupid. All right, let's keep going. Or I guess let's start. All right, this is from Louis. Subject line, Porn A controversial Opinion. All right. Hello. I would like to remain anonymous, please. I am writing to you hoping that you can give me a second opinion on this matter that has been weighing heavily on my relationship with my boyfriend lately. I am especially curious about your opinion as you are a man and have openly said on the show that you do indulge in watching porn as well. I really got to remember that people actually listen to this podcast so that when I say things, people can hear them. I gotta. I gotta keep that in mind. But I mean, yeah, I watch. I watch porn, sure, I'm trying to watch it less. I'm trying to watch. I don't. I actively. It's kind of like how people will hit me up and be like, hey, I want your opinion on this weed thing because you smoke weed every day. And I'm like, look, I have. I do these things, but I don't like it. In the perfect version of my life, I don't. I don't watch porn, but anyway, okay, alright. My controversial opinion is that porn is that porn is cheating. I have a few different points to make here. The argument my boyfriend made is that it does not count because it's not real. It's just a video, okay? That is, in fact, a real woman. Why are these women in the porn industry seen as objects and not real women? For perspective, if the woman was in the room with him and he was simply watching her and getting off to it, would that be considered cheating? Why is it different? Because it's a video? What if a woman sent him a video of herself and he used this to get off? Would that be considered okay? Because it is a video and not real. Secondly, he asked me, well, wouldn't you rather me watch porn than cheat on you? That's a stupid thing to say. This was a huge issue for me. This makes me feel like I am being given an ultimatum. Let my boyfriend jack off to other women or get cheated on. Cool. I've surfed Reddit quite a bit on the topic just to get some outside opinion. And a lot of men have this standpoint. Why should women have to fear being cheated on because they do not feel comfortable allowing their significant other to watch porn? Lastly, and most importantly, porn desensitizes the brain. There are all caps. Many studies on this. If you are allowing yourself to look at other women lustfully and satisfy your sexual needs, where is the line the intimacy of sex is lost. Before I get a bunch of hate for being insecure or possessive, let me just say that everyone has their own boundaries and preferences and this is just my own. I do not feel comfortable with it. I love my boyfriend, but if it continues to be an issue, I have no problem breaking off the relationship and finding someone who has similar morals and will respect my boundaries. I could go on and on here, but I am really trying to keep this short and sweet. Thanks in advance. Really enjoy the show. Much love. Okay, first of all, look, I mean, look, I mean, look, you don't need me to tell you this because you said it yourself, look, it's a free country. It's a. You're a free human being. You're. You're. If, if, if you don't want your significant other to watch porn, if that's the, the fucking offense you're putting up. I mean, God damn, like you know, you have the. Whether or not it's insecure or possessive is I, you know, I'm less. It doesn't really matter. Like you can. If that's what you want, if that's the boundary you want to set, then God bless ya. The whole thing of I do, I do think saying would you rather. I would rather watch. Would you rather me watch porn or cheat on you? It's kind of stupid. Like those are the two options. But I mean, look man, it's pretty easy. It's like, look, if you don't like your boyfriend watching porn and your boyfriend don't watch, stop. Want to stop watching porn? Fucking go, go, go, go find a. Go to Utah, alright? Find a nice Mormon gentleman and you know, tell him that if he watches porn, God will strike him down and use that fear to, you know, get him to do what you want. No. Yeah, yeah. Find a nice Mormon gentleman and you know, you guys go be happy together and don't watch porn and live your life. Yeah. Okay, let's keep going. Oh, look at this. I love this one. This is from Emily. Subject line. How do I stop being annoying? What a great subject line for an email. Hello Gecko. My name is Emily. I recently have become very self aware and it's become a curse and a blessing. Although I feel Like I've become a better person because of it. I also feel like I'm so aware of how much I talk, that I'm spiraling, that I have been that one annoying person my whole life and I don't know how to control it. My new year's resolution was to talk less, but so far I have failed. I'm conflicted with the fact that I should not have to change who I am. I recently spent two hours ranting to my parents about my job and, and afterwards I fent I felt this immense sense of guilt because I feel like I annoyed them the whole time just looking for thought. Thanks, Geck. Emily. Wow. What a great email. What a great email. I, I, I, I want to take a second to collect my thoughts on this. First of all, I just, I really believe this. I believe this in my soul deeply. I really believe this. I'm gonna say this. Um, listen, first of all, being annoying is not that bad. I just want you to know, Emily, even if you are and I'm not, I don't know you, I don't know if you're annoying or not. Even if you're annoying, it's not that bad. Like, I swear on my life, you know what? I know that, like, being annoying is not commonly seen as a actively positive trait, but it's, it's not that bad. Being annoying and kind of sucking and like, being irritating is not that bad. You could be, there's way worse things you could be than annoying. You could be fucking, you could be nasty, you can be mean, you can be cold, you can be harsh. You can be so many other things besides just annoying. So just, first of all, being annoying to me is, it's a neutral thing. It's not actively bad. Okay. Second thing is, so you're tr. I think there's some, there's, it's, you're bringing up a very interesting conflict that a lot of people, myself included, have, which are, okay, yeah, convention. I don't, Modern wisdom says to be yourself. Just unabashedly, be yourself, be who you are, and you'll attract the right people and you'll, the people that you turn away will, it doesn't matter because they weren't a right fit for your life anyway. That's what modern wisdom tells you. And I, and I, I believe that to a degree. Although as I get older and as I have more life experience, I continue to, I, I check back in on that belief and I'm like, maybe I should cut my fucking hair. You know, something like that, right? So look, I think it's probably somewhere in between. It's like, look, you don't want to like kill off the essence of who you are to fit into society, but if you make the conscious choice where you're like, you know what? Like, like, I actually love the way you're coming at this. You're like, you know what? Look, like you're laying it out on the table. You're being very logical. You're like, look, I have identified that I am a little annoying and I'm going to make, and I would like to fit in better into society because I have decided that that will make me happier, that will improve my life being less annoying. Therefore I'm going to make a conscious effort to be less annoying. I think that's fair. I think there's a lot, I think like accepting yourself and trying to change yourself. There's a yin and yang to it. And I wouldn't, I don't want to blind, I wouldn't blindly follow either the conventional wisdom of be yourself versus step in line. You got to find a nice little in between. Right? But this is this email, this is from a person who's decided that they're annoying and wants to change. And I'm. Well, okay, no, you're conflicted that you should not have to change. Sorry, I don't know if you said that you. Well, actually no, no, I'm lying. You. Okay, your New Year's resolution, it says here, my New Year's resolution was to talk less. Okay. So you made an active effort to be less annoying, which I respect. I respect. I think, I think it's good to, yeah. Work on yourself here, but just with like, with like talking too much. Um, I mean, look, Emily, here's the. Talk as much as you want, but I think if you're having a conversation with somebody you want to be to some degree, you want to be conscious of them to some degree, of course. And you know, just make sure you're in your conversations, you're having a give and take. You know that because nobody, I guess nobody wants to be like talked at in their interactions. They want a little bit of like go ahead and rant for an hour but then after you're done, be like, but what, you know, how was your day? What's going on with you? You alright? Was everything okay? A really beautiful relationship is two people each taking turns ranting at each other for two hours. So, you know, don't feel, don't, don't, don't feel guilty, don't feel shamed. About being annoying. It's, I swear on my life, there's so much worse things you could be than be annoying. But yeah, I don't, I don't know. I, that was my, that was more of an analysis than it was advice. Which is good because I like analog analysises are. Okay, you said I'm looking for thought, that's great. I feel like I didn't give. Okay, you didn't say you were looking for advice. You said you were looking for thought and I feel like I gave that. Okay, now I'm being a little annoying. Which by the way, as I've established is fine. Lets keep going. All right. This is from Marcella. Subject line, Working at Best Buy, A furry experience. Hi Lyle. I feel like I need to get this story off my chest. I worked at best buy for two years, 2021 to 2023. I started as seasonal and then became a full time Verizon rep. I started noticing odd things around the building. One morning I walk in and my manager is giving someone else a back rub, not realizing I was in there. Flash forward a few months later a new guy starts up front. He seems normal until he drops his phone on the floor and I go to pick it up and his lock screen is presumably him and his friends at a furry convention. So what? Alright, hold on. Kind of fuck this person who wrote this email. All right, hold on, hold on, hold on. I cannot hold this news in any longer and I go to tell my other co workers and oh dude, okay, hold on. I, the person who wrote this email. It bothers the shit out of me, okay, because you're, you're being a little bit of a prick and here's the thing. Okay, so what? All right, so you saw your friend by the way. Here's the thing. I just, I'm not, I, I do, we've talked about this on this fucking show a billion times. But I'll just to say it again. I, I, I, I, I don't, I don't think that I am in any, I am not in any way, shape or form associated with the furry subculture. It's its own thing. However, as a pure, like from a purely logistical standpoint and symbolic standpoint, I am undeniably an adult man who regularly wears an animal costume. I am undeniably that. I don't think that that makes me a furry, but I do think it endows me with the responsibility to defend furries because I, like I said, I am a man who dresses up regularly in an animal costume. So I'M gonna. I'm gonna go on a limb. I'm gonna defend this man, and I'm gonna say that I think it was. I think it's a little fucked up that you. You saw that this guy was having a good time with his homies at the, at the, at the dress up like a wolf and fuck each other party. Sounds like he's having a good time. And you're out. You're out here trying to tell. Also, you're, like, telling your other co workers like it's a secret. It's on his fucking phone anyway. All right, I cannot hold this news in any longer. And I go to tell my other coworkers and find out, in fact, that I am the outlier the whole time. 50%, not exaggerating, of the staff was in the furry community, and 30%, she wrote this in all caps, participated in sexual activities with one another. Sounds awesome. I nearly quit, but, alas, I stayed employed at the Best Buy. You know what? I. Dude, the person who wrote this email, okay, you. Okay, this guy. These people, they work at Best Buy all day. Like, most of their life is just getting screamed at by the insane people who are still shopping. I. The only people who are still going in person to buy stuff at Best Buy are, like, old insane people. And these, okay, they're working retail at the Best Buy. They're getting yelled at every day. Their lives are sucking. And you know what? The. You know the one thing that makes them happy, Marcella? You know the one thing that makes them happy is wearing a horse costume and getting fucked in the ass. And I think that's awesome. I think that's beautiful. I let them have it. Marcella, what are you doing here? Why. Why is this such a big deal? All right, hold on. I nearly quit, but alas, I stayed employed at the Best Buy. A furry scuffle broke out in the warehouse one day when one of the alpha furries. Okay, now you're getting sucked into it, too. When one of the alpha furries, who was in a throuple with a guy and a girl also working at Best Buy, had found out that, in fact, he was just getting cheated on the whole time, he ran out of the store, into the parking lot, and moved to Texas. In three days, they had to pull employees from other stores because almost half of our staff went out of town. All caps for the furry convention. I, I. Okay, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. I have a new. I have a new thing, by the way. I. Hold on. I, I, I. Sorry, I Drank a lot of coffee before I started recording this. I'm gonna calm down for a second. I want to apologize. Okay. The person who wrote this email. Marcela. I want to apologize to Marcela. I want to apologize to Marcel. I said. I said fuck them. I said some choice things about them. I want to apologize because as I'm getting deeper into this email, I'm coming up with a new theory. I'm coming up with a new theory, and the theory that I'm coming up with is making me sad. My theory is that the person who wrote this email is secretly, unconsciously, really upset that she was not invited to go to the furry convention. I genuinely believe that because, look, this person, they also, they worked at Best Buy, and they worked at Verizon, and they pro. I, I, I don't know if they have a lot of friends. I don't know if they're ups. I just. I just, like, I think they're seeing their co workers having so much fun having sex with each other in dog costumes and the. And they kind of wish that they had something like that, and they don't. And so they are just upset and they're. They're taking it out and in this email. And so, Marcella, listen, I just want you to know, like, you can look, find your own version of a furry convention. Go. Do. Go. I don't know. I don't know who you are. I don't know anything about you, but I don't know. Go find something to do instead of getting pissed off at other people. All right. Okay, then. Then she wrote, that's all I have to share. Do not go into Best Buy. I'm not kidding. It is a cult. Do not get sucked in. Oh, I'm going to Best Buy and I'm getting sucked in, baby, if you know what I mean. All right, that was gross. Let's keep going. All right. This is from Shay Random Fat. They wrote, don't read my email on stream. I kind of want to read it now. Why would you send me an email and tell me not to read it on stream? Why would you send me. I kind of want to read this on stream just to spite this person. Why would they send me an email to not read it on stream? All right, anyway, sorry. I don't know why. I'm sorry. I think when I. I think when I drink too much coffee, I just go off the rails a little too much. All right, this is from Oscar, Subject line. I'm obsessed with my ex. Hello, Mr. Lyle Chan. My name is Oscar I've texted my ex again after six months of getting over her lately, missing her quite often, and decided to come up with a master plan to make us fall in love again. Okay. All right. Okay. Even though she's talking and falling in love with someone else. Ah, Jesus Christ. This is gonna make me really sad. I had a talk with her about us getting together again, reminding her how we promised each other that in the end, when we're older, we will get back together. When we broke it off back then, those months ago, she agreed how we can get together only if things don't work out with them together. She agreed. Okay. Okay. I'm trying to. This. This person has a little. Some grammatical errors in this email, but I'm gonna try to interpret them and translate it. She agreed that we can get back together only if things don't work out with her and the guy that she's talking to now. For me to decide and rather be alone and work on myself, dying, waiting for her, missing every moment, clinging to her, still patiently waiting for her to be complete with this guy. Also, we agreed to have sex too. While they are trying to get together and still in the talking stage, I suppose. Planning to make the sex to benefit. To make her love me and gain feelings back. Okay, this person called me. I. Is this person. Is this person Japanese? Because if. Oh, well, okay, Ask her. Okay. I'm just trying to figure out if English is this person's first language or not. Because they called me Lyle Chan. Okay. Okay. Nola, by the way. Hold on. I just. I just. Hold on. I just want to. Okay. I was making. I was not making fun of. But I was. I was. I think I made a rude comment about this person's grammatical errors. Did not realize that they were not a native English speaker. I apologize for that. Okay, if you are not a native English speaker, please keep emailing me. I promise I will not make fun of your English. I genuinely apologize about that. Okay. Planning to make the sex to benefit her love me and gain feelings back. Plus more on that of other ideas about not just about it being sex. Anyways, I have a massive plan written out on my iPhone. Notes on how to get her back and sex sabotage him. Is this a pure obsession of boredom or some super evil mastermind plan? Okay. Holy Oscar. Oh, Jesus Christ, man. This. This. I. This is a phone call, Oscar. This is. This is a. Oscar. Oscar. Let's talk on the phone. I will. I will talk on the phone with you, Oscar. I will. I. I don't. I don't know where you're originally from. But I will front the money for the long distance call for this so that we can talk. So, I don't know, send me another email with your phone number and we can, we gotta talk about this because I, you, I don't. By the way. Hold on. It shouldn't be me, it should be a therapist, but you need to be talked off the ledge, I think, because this is, this is insane. I, like, I'm also kind of curious. Cuz look, if also I'm like very curious how old you are. Because if you're like 19, I kind of. I understand this email a little bit more. But if you're like 37, would you. Or you. Or if you're like 37, you might be. I don't, I don't know, Oscar. I don't know. I'm, I'm. God, I'm on so much coffee right now. I'm. Do you have other people in your life who you've talked to about this? Because you need to be talked off the ledge, like pronto? Because this is, this is wild if this is true. Yeah, this is wild if this is true. You gotta. Yeah, you, you, you, you don't, you don't want to be like. I don't know. This is, this is kind of wild, Oscar. You don't want to be doing any of this. This is gonna kill you, Oscar. Yeah, send me, send me your phone number. And we. I want to. This is a phone call. This is. I can't, I don't, I, I don't think I can respond to the. This is. Because here's the thing. I could sit here and I could respond to this email, but I'm just gonna say the same things that everyone's already thinking. But like, I need, I gotta know what's going on in your life with this one. Oh, okay. You sent me your. Okay, all right, Oscar sent. All right, Oscar sent me their phone number. Should I call, hold on. Should I call this person? Okay, I'm gonna call this person, but just. Okay, I'm gonna call this person. But just so that everyone knows. I just want to let everyone know. This is like a, this is a rare thing. So don't. If you're, if you send an email into the show, don't include your phone number because I don't, I don't. I'm not gonna normally do this. I just, just, just in this, this. Someone in the chat just wrote this sets a standard going forward, and I just want everyone to know that it absolutely does not. I just personally, in this moment, really want to talk to this guy. So I'm gonna call him. But normally I would. Normally, Normally I. I do this email segment because I don't feel like. Because I. I want to take a break from phone calls and I want to just like, kind of read the emails, but just for some. For just right now. So the Oscars email kind of spoke to me, and I want to talk to him, so I'm gonna try to call him. All right, let's see if he answers. Give me one sec.

Matt Rogers
Okay. I thought. Okay. Yeah, no, it's okay. Okay, well, all right. So, Oscar, look, look, I read your email. Everyone heard your email. Like, what is this? How true is this?
- [31:21]
Lyle
Yeah, very true, actually. Okay, well, yeah, no, this, this message, this happened, like, well, me texting her and everything. Oh, my God. No, I texted her like, maybe, like, like, maybe like four days ago already. It was five days ago. And it's just been, you know, I just haven't had anything, you know, it's been stressful, you know, all that with finals. I guess that's just got me, you know, I guess to. I don't know, I would say just. I just randomly texted him. Just like, at that moment, I just. I was like, I missed her and all that, but, like, you know, it was just. Yeah, I don't know. It's like. Yeah, I'm just.
- [32:04]

You're 19? Okay, I guessed it correctly. You are 19.
- [32:14]
Lyle
Yeah.
- [32:15]
Matt Rogers
Okay. All right. I'm significantly less freaked out by this email now that I know that you're 19.
- [32:20]
Lyle
Yeah, I know. When you're saying 30, I was like, okay, I don't know about that, but, you know, but yeah, okay.
- [32:27]
Matt Rogers
No, okay. I'm significantly less freaked out by this email. Yeah. Okay, Oscar. I mean, listen, man. Do you. Do you. Do you. Do you understand? I guess what's, like, kind of crazy about this email.
- [32:44]
Lyle
Like, how elaborate the plan is, I guess, you know. Yeah, like, I've been overthinking it too. Yeah.
- [32:51]
Matt Rogers
I mean, having, like, an elaborate plan to sabotage your ex's relationship.
- [32:57]
Lyle
Honestly, honestly, I wasn't too. Really not serious about that. But, like, it's like, somewhat like, I don't know, because like, it's just like. Yeah, I don't know if that's good or not because I am self aware about that. Those type of things and I think like, damn, am I, Am I like. Because usually at this point or like I'm just thinking like, okay, Oscar, you need to slow down because there is no way you're gonna be doing all that because like literally something like so like messed up and you're like, what? And it's. It just freaks me out. It freaks myself out. And honestly.

Lyle
I think honestly, I've been kind of bored. So, you know, and this, this callback, this come to me now about how we were gonna get together and all that, you know, it just made me feel like, you know, like I fell out of. Like I felt really numb afterwards. So, like, I just thought like, you know, like, why? Like, you know, I can never have that feeling back. So like, I'm just thinking it can only be her, you know?
- [35:28]
Matt Rogers
What do you mean you can. What do you mean you can never have that feeling back?
- [35:31]
Lyle
I don't know, it's just like. Well, she's like really, you know, she's like really different. Like she's like special. She's like. Like how. What she went through and Everything like that, you know, it's like, it's, it really like traumatized me to a point where like, okay, I, you know, like, I want her to be my only love. We. And I can like really see a future and I have it like planned out already.
- [35:56]
Matt Rogers
Okay, Oscar, can I, can I, can I give you a little bit of hope and then, and then I'm gonna hang up on you and continue reading emails. Is that cool?
- [36:05]
Lyle
Of course, of course, of course. I don't want to hold up the show.
- [36:07]
Matt Rogers
No, no, no, no. You're all good, Oscar. I just, I just want you to know some remember, okay, you're, you're only 19 years old, Oscar, and I assume holds this girl.
- [36:23]
Lyle

- [36:24]
Matt Rogers
How old is this girl? Also 19.
- [36:27]
Lyle
She's my age.
- [36:28]
Matt Rogers
Okay. I, I just. Oscar, you will meet so many more people. Not, I'm not even gonna say women. I'm gonna say people use me. You'll meet so many more people and do so many more things with your life that you won't even, you can't even, you literally can't even imagine the scope of what your life could be like in the future. So I, I guess I would just encourage you to be thinking about the abundant possibilities. I'm like eight years older than you and I'm still, I'm over here like trying to remember that life has abundant, infinite possibilities. You know what I mean? So I just, you know, I hope, dear Christ, that you stop having such a scarcity mindset about your life and realize that the world is abundantly full of life experience and, and cool people for you to meet. Okay? I just, I hope, I, I, I hope, I hope you recognize that now. I, I wish you well, Oscar. I'm gonna get back to. I, I, I feel disgusted that I just gave you a motivational speech. I'm trying to lay off the motivational speeches, but I wish, I wish you good luck, Oscar.
- [38:04]
Lyle
God. Okay.
- [38:07]
Matt Rogers
You alright?
- [38:07]
Lyle
No, yeah, I know, I'm fine. I'm just over exaggerating, but you know. Yeah, thank you.
- [38:12]
Matt Rogers
All right, take care, Oscar. Bye bye bye. Oscar's. Oscar's a good guy. He has, he, he's definitely not an English major, but he's a good guy. All right, let's keep reading emails. All right. I'm read the chat. Does the chat have anything to say? Geck? Trying to not give advice. Motivational speeches equals mission impossible. I, that was a great speech. Don't hate it. I know. I just hate speech. I hate like I would like, I think if anyone ever took what I just said and, like, put, like, black and white video of a guy running and then, like, sad music underneath it. I think I would commit seppuku. What's that? What is it called? Seppuku. Am I saying that right? Seppuku. Yeah. Yeah, that's what I would do if someone did that. All right. Someone said. Okay, what? What? Someone said, what draws the line between a speech and just talking? That was a speech. Someone said Sudoku. No, I'm not trying to say Sudoku. Okay. Anyway, let's keep going. Let's keep doing. I'm never doing that again, by the way. I not. This has nothing to do with Oscar, but I'm never doing that again. So don't include your phone number in these emails. Okay, let's keep going.

I just noticed changes immediately. That stubborn scale finally moved in. This first week, I lost five pounds. Just after one week, I'm down six pounds and all of my bloating is gone. I just finished the Belvatel program. I have lost 15 pounds and I have never felt better. I've noticed inches just shed every week that I go through. I've lost 13 pounds and 16 inches from all around my body. I feel like an entirely different person. I don't know if I've ever felt this good.

Oh, I like this. All right. This is from Joanie. Subject line I got chased by a bear. Hey Geck. I got chased by a black bear in the summer and now every time I walk the route where I was chased, I relive each terrifying step I took as I ran away. I live in constant fear while walking, running that a black bear will jump out of the bush and eat me. I got lucky that my sister heard me screaming bloody murder. Otherwise the bear probably would have mauled me. I may or may not have pissed my pants in fear anyway, I would still choose a bear over a man any day. You should. I have a movie that you should watch, Joanie. You should. Why? You ever seen the Revenant? You ever seen the Revenant? Go watch the go. I mean, actually, you know what? Don't even watch the Revenant. But like you don't have to watch the Revenant. Just go on YouTube and search revenant bear attack scene. It's just of it's Leonardo DiCaprio screaming and crying for like five minutes while he gets mauled by a bear. I got an. I was watching that on YouTube with my friend and I got into an argument with him because I, I have this theory. Nice. Not a theory, but it's just an argument and it's like a half serious argument. But I think acting is really, really easy. I think that like, I think becoming an actor extremely hard. Like I think because like Be like, Leo. Okay, all right. I'm gonna, like, really start some right now. Because, like, getting to the point, the Leonardo that Leonardo DiCaprio was at, like, in his career, extremely difficult. Becoming an actor, one of the hardest things you could do. But, like, actually, like, doing the acting, extremely easy, at least for, like, film and tv. I think for, like, like, if, like, being, like, a theater actress or actor is difficult. But, like, I kind of. I was kind of watching that scene of Leonardo DiCaprio getting mauled by a bear and the Revenant. And I was, the whole time was kind of thinking, I think I could do this. We got in an argument and he was like, no, you couldn't. You, like, he's a well trained actor. It's like, I really think I could. Then we put on Lincoln and he. We, like, would watch Lincoln, like, all, like, a scene from YouTube and I would, like, try to reenact it. I'm like, I kind of think I could do Lincoln. I kind of not. I mean, yeah, I kind of think I could be a better actor than Daniel Day Lewis. Like, I think I could do it. I don't. Like, I just. And whatever. I'm willing to be proven wrong. But, like, I think it's really easy and you should watch the Revenant and maybe if I get the budget, I'll remake the Revenant with me just to prove that I also could do that. All right, let's keep going. Okay. What's the chat have to say? The chat says it looks easier than it is. I did acting for a year. You were, I don't know, you were probably better bad at it. Oh, this is from the person who wrote the email. After I got chased, I had dreams about being held at gunpoint by the bear. That sounds way more scary if you find it, because I feel like most bears in. Most bears in popular culture are, I think, depicted as friendly. But if the bear was like. And also, it's more. It's worse because if. Usually if a bear is chasing you, wants to eat you, and it's, like, unconsciously malicious, but a bear pointing a gun at you is very consciously malicious. All right, this is from B subject line fumble. E to fumbler. Hey, Geck, I'm in a predicament. I'm usually being chronically fumbled. Fumbled. But recently, I believe I have become the Fumbler. And I think I have made a grave mistake. Okay. When you say I've been being chronically fumbled, that means, like, guys are trying to, like, court you and failing Is that What that means I'm still friends with the boy. I fumbled and I fear I may now have feelings for him. I told him after three dates we shouldn't pursue a relationship. But I found myself missing him. I think I've made a mistake. I told him that right now I would like to get to know each other as friends. I think I was overwhelmed and scared, turning into the very person I despise. I don't know what my next move should be. We are trying to hang out again sometimes sometime soon. Thank you for your time, Lyle. Oh God, I don't really know. I mean, I guess hang out with the guy again and if you like him, then keep hanging out with him. Should I? I don't know if I gen. I don't think I have anything more to say than that. I think if you like this guy, then keep hanging out with him. That's it. That's all I have to say about this email. Let's keep going. All right, this from Stacy. Subject line, I want a lot of boyfriends. And then in all caps they wrote plzz. Hey Geck, I need to stay as anonymous as possible so you can call me whatever comes to mind. I'm 24, female. I'm emailing you to admit a deep desire fantasy that I have. I want to have like three boyfriends but not like three separate relationships with them. I want all of us to mutually be in love and share it within each other and cuddle together like a bunch of kittens and do group activities and travel places and stick together. Yeah, it sounds great that. I know, I know. Listen, here's the thing. Plenty of people have used their first and last names to admit much more embarrassing desires. I think wanting 3 boy cuz everyone. I think not everyone, but like, you know, I think love is a commonly desired thing. So who the fuck wouldn't want to have three boyfriends? The ideal setup would be just me and three other men that are a bit submissive and need me to care for them in a way. Okay, you want like three. You want like pets? You want. You want to be like a cat lady but you can fuck the cats is kind of what I'm getting from this. I know I'll probably never get this in my real life, but I think about it a lot. I had a dream a night ago where I was walking. Walking up to a beautiful house after work and realized it was my house. When I walked in, there was three guys waiting for me and we shared a group hug and all cuddled on the couch and watched a show and it was just perfection. Let me know if you have any thoughts, comments, or concerns. I need to know if I'm weird or something for having these desires. Love you, Geck. No, I don't, by the way. I just want you to know, like, listen, here's the thing. I forget what fake name I gave you. Stacy. Here's the thing, Stacy. If I just. I really genuinely. I don't know you, and I don't know who you are and what steps maybe you've taken to fulfill this fantasy, but I kind. The thing, what you're describing sounds doable. You want a polycule. You want to create a polycule where you have three men who are financially dependent upon you. It sounds. And need you to, like, feed them and take care of it. You could easily find this. You could easily find this. I don't. I don't know what kind of, you know, money you're pulling in right now. Right. I don't know if you have. You want like three, like, sugar boyfriend people who like, you know, I guess are metaphorically sucking on your teats and, you know, the reliant upon you. You want three pets that are men. You can find that. Yeah, I'm sure you have a. In today's economy, again, I don't know what you're pulling in, but in today's economy, this is what you've described from the opposite point, like from a guy's perspective, is not a. It's not a tough sell. I think you could do it. You know, I just. That's all I want you to know is if. If I'm the first person to tell you that this isn't. That not only is this not crazy, I actually think it's achievable. And I hope you find it, because I think. I think this sounds like a. You know, this is a Craigslist ad that. That can easily be achieved for you. I think someone in the chat said, I don't think the economy should play into this. The economy absolutely plays into this. This is. This is a. This is a woman who wants like three live in boyfriends who she takes care of. And you know, look, in this economy, that's. That's. That's expensive. In this economy, that's expensive. Yeah. A bunch of people, just a bunch of people in this. In the Twitch chat are saying that this is normal. Well, not that it's normal, but it's, you know, that is doable. Anyway. Oh, this one I want to read. Okay. All right. This is from MK Subject Line. Pig jizz is my job. Dear therapy Gecko, I never thought I'd grow up to be the person who intercepts pig penises for a living, but here we are. My job, collecting pig jizz. Why? Because someone has to ensure the future generation of pigs is brought into this world via the magic of artificial insemination. It's like match.com for pigs, except I'm the unlucky third wheel. Picture this. I love the way this, by the way. I just. I know. I, I so. I know a lot of the times I rag on people's grammar in emails, but whoever wrote this, it like I'm having so much fun reading this. The way this person writes is beautiful. I just gotta give them props for that. Picture this. I work in a setup that looks suspiciously like the pit at an oil change place, except instead of cars, I'm dealing with 600 to 1,000 pound boars. Jesus. These behemoths have to mount a device we lovingly refer to as the dummy. As soon as they're ready for action, I swoop in. Now here's where it gets wild. These boars sometimes sport equipment that would make a garden hose jealous. We're talking up to two feet long. My job is to gently guide said horse. Said pigcock. They didn't write pigcock, but into a collection cup and then let nature take its course. Once the deed is done, I analyze the sample under a microscope to check for fertility rates. Because even in the pig world, quality control is important. You're messing with hog. Hog. Thankfully, this only takes up about two hours of my day. Okay. Oh. Oh, you said okay. The rest of the time I get to do more traditional farm work. Okay. I thought this person fought 4 hour worked week themselves with. With pig jizz. I thought this person was doing. I thought they, I thought they were like new rich. You know, I'm taking my time back and, and just, you know, starting a pig jizz business that starts two hours a day. I thought they were doing that kind of vibe. But the rest of the time I get to do more traditional farm work, like fixing equipment, feeding animals, and questioning my life choices. Yeah, I'm sure, I'm sure you have a lot of time to do that. I thought this might bring a smile to your face or at least make you reconsider any career moves involving livestock. If this story makes it onto the podcast, I hope it provides your listeners with a mix of laughter, awe, and a touch of secondhand discomfort. That's the end of the email. I've never I, I. This is one of my favorite people I think I've interacted with doing this show. Even though I, we didn't talk on the phone, and even though they didn't even give me their name, I just, I love the way this person writes. I love the, the pride they take in their job and the, the poetry they. They use to describe it. This is a beautiful whoever. I don't know who wrote this email, but whoever. And then. And at the end, they're like, I really hope my pig jizz story gave you a mix of laughter, awe, and a touch of secondhand discomfort. This is a beautiful person who wrote this email. You know what? There's an Abraham Lincoln quote. Oh, this is. Oh, this is a good chance for me to prove that I'm a better actor than Daniel Day Lewis. There's an Abraham Lincoln quote. It goes like this. Whatever you are, be a good one. Now that was bad. Let me try again. Whatever you are, be a good one. He had, like a. He had a kind of a crappy voice. What? All right, whatever. Fuck Daniel Day Lewis. All right. Whatever you are, be a good one. This person is a great pig jizz. Pig jacker offer. They take pride in it. They describe it with such passion and beauty, and they make me. They make me feel joyful for the future of our country.

Seek terms and conditions all right, let's see here. Okay. Okay. All right. This is kind of a longer email than I would usually like to read, but the subject line is just calling me, so I'm gonna read it anyway and we're gonna read. I'm gonna try. All right. I'm gonna try to read the. I'm gonna take us through this entire email again. This is longer. Usually I try not to read ones that are longer than two paragraphs, but this one is. I'm feeling good about reading the whole thing. This is from Reggie, someone I met on Xbox. Stole my girlfriend of four years. Hey Geck. In the early Covid days, I reconnected with one of my best childhood friends over Xbox and we just chat and play games from time to time. I now live on the opposite end of the world from where I grew up, so it was really nice to reconnect with an old friend like that. At some stage, one of his friends from university started joining us in our Xbox parties and it was great. The three of us got on really well and were hanging out on Xbox together fairly frequently. This continued for probably the better part of two years and there'd often be times where it would be just me and this Other guy I was introduced to, we became mates. It was nice. One day this guy said he was coming on holiday to the country I live in. And because we'd known each other for a few years at this point, I said he should fly down to my city, I'll take a long weekend off work and he can stay in my house. That's exactly what he did. And truth be told, it was great. We got along well, we had a very busy weekend, doing as much as possible and we even threw a house party at our place. The long weekend comes and goes and he flies back to the city he was holidaying in and then shortly after flies back to the other side of the world. Maybe two weeks after he'd left, my ex came to me visibly upset and saying she didn't think things were going to work between us. She then told me that she had developed feelings for the guy that came to stay with us for four days. Fucking hell. Oh my God. That is brutal. Jesus. There were honestly no signs of this when he was with us. And except for maybe one brief two hour period in the busy weekend where I just wanted to watch some TV for a bit and the two of them were downstairs chatting, there were a couple of times where I'd noticed they'd start speaking in very hushed tones, but I honestly thought nothing of it. I'd later find out from a mutual friend that apparently this was some sort of magical conversation between them. After a week or so of back and forth figuring out if the relationship was salvageable, we confirmed that the relationship was over. Within three months of the relationship ending, I found out from another mutual friend that this guy had packed up his entire life and moved over to this side of the world to live with my ex in her mom's house. This guy had never had a girlfriend before and then he moved across the entire world for his first ever girlfriend. He never gave me any sort of explanation when I asked him for one. At the time of the breakup, blocked both me and my childhood friend from all of social media and to this day continues to live my old life with my ex, raising the dog that I got her. And at times it feels like someone has stolen my old skin. Ultimately it was a blessing in disguise, though I'm a lot happier now that I'm out of that relationship and can see that her and I weren't meant to be together. Love ya and see you the next time you come to my city. From Reggie. Oscar, are you list? Oscar, did you hear all of this? Oscar, I need to forward this Email to Oscar because, because, because this guy, because Oscar just like he broke up with his girlfriend and she started seeing someone new. But this guy, this guy Reggie is one of the. This. I, I hear stories from people doing this show that just really reinforced to me the idea that so much of life is about perspective and it gives me hope in my own life because you know, I try to fucking be, you know, smart and have good perspective of things, but my judgment, you know, I just get. I'm a human. We all just get clouded. We all just get frustrated and angry and pissed off and it's sad and depressed and here's this fucking story of a miserably depressing thing happening to this guy. It's funny, don't get me wrong, it's very funny. But it's miserable, sad, you know, it's harsh, it's tough. And motherfucker ends the email with it was a blessing in disguise. And I'm a lot happier now. And I realized that we were. It's just, I don't know, I just, I really like this dudes. This guy's gonna live a good life for the rest of the. Who? The guy who wrote this email. He just had a terrifying bad thing happened to him and he's happier. He's just. This guy's gonna live a good life no matter what. So Oscar, who I talked to earlier, I read this guy's fucking email or listen to me say it, I guess, I don't know. But you know, how do I want to hook, I want to hook this guy up with Oscar. Where's, where's, where's this guy at? Where's Oscar? Listen, this Oscar, you, you, this guy should be your fucking. I know, I know you said you're not Japanese, but this guy should be your senpai. Reggie. He. I think, I think, I think he has a lot of life advice that he could give you. All right. Damn. That was quite, that was quite a story. Someone in the chat says. Someone in the chat said that was a real crash out moment. It was, right? It was. I. What, I mean that's like a horror fucking thing that sounds horrible and this guy just fucking takes it in stride. It's pretty impressive, although. It's pretty impressive although FIFA is never gonna be the same for him no matter what. Alright? This is from Delina. Life advice. Don't ever move. I wonder if the person. I wonder if that guy was a higher prestige than he was in Call of Duty and maybe that's why, maybe that's why his girl was into him. Okay. No. We're on the next email now. Life advice. Don't ever move in with a possible neurodivergent friend together. Okay, I'll. I'll entertain this. Hey, Lyle. You can call me Delina. My friends and I moved in last year, and it's been a nightmare for me because I got to know her better. Once you live together, you see the person from a whole different light. I figure she is too clingy and I despair about it. It is hard for me to stand my ground and form boundaries. I am a people pleaser. She expects me to do everything together with her. We work 9 to 5 and then go to the gym together, do grocery shopping together, cook together, eat together. A month ago, I told her that I want more privacy and live more on my own without her being constantly around me. She then cried and had a breakdown, saying that not doing everything all the time together is the equivalent of not being friends. She also can't do anything on her own. I feel like a caretaker. For example, just because I ironed her clothes one day as a sign of appreciation, she kept asking me when I'll iron her clothes again. Now that she adapts to not being around me all the time and being mothered by me all the time, she still finds new ways to sneak herself into my life by asking, what are we doing on the weekend? What are we cooking on the weekend? And so on. The good thing is I learn about saying no. But it's very, very hard for me. I fear she might be neurodivergent because she has trouble communicating, which makes it hard for her to find friends. She can't read social cues. For example, when I was so overstimulated by her being around me, I ran into my room and cried because my brain was so fried. I am an introvert, so being around people drains my energy. She then came and knocked on my door to ask me when we're cooking dinner together again. I don't know if I should talk about it with her and how I should tell her that me and other friends think she might be on the spectrum. I can imagine it could come off as effective. Okay, let's. Okay, I wanna. Hold on. I want to separate two things here. Because, like, I. I just. Okay, I like. Look, I want to be. I want to be. I want to be fair here. I want to be fair here about something. Look, not everyone is neurodivergent. Some people are just. Are just a little clingy and annoying. You know what I mean? I don't I don't. We. Look, I don't think it's fair to pin this on all neurodivergent people. I just throwing that out there. I don't think it's fair to pin this on all neurodivergent people. Okay, Just throwing that out there. We're gonna put that aside, okay? And then we're just gonna go directly into your specific thing happening. First of all, your problem is not whether or not to tell this person that you think they're autistic. That's not your problem. That's not the, the issue here. I mean, dude, look. Yes, this person sounds like they're very annoying and have no boundaries. Absolutely. What do you do? I think you gotta leave. I think you gotta get out of there. I don't know how, though. I mean, do you have like a. What's the lease situation going on here? What's. What's, what's the lease thing? You know, I mean, you just move out if you can sublet it. Although it's. Although, although. Although it's funny. You know what's funny is anyone, anytime you like a sublet to deal with roommate issues. It's like, it's like trying to. It's like. It's like having cancer and the only way to get rid of it is to give it to someone else. That's mean. I don't want to refer to this person as cancer. That's mean. I don't want to do that, but I guess I already did. I don't know. Maybe this, that's the thing. I really. I'm so optimistic because I'd like to believe that the. This girl who like, is having a hard time, like setting boundaries. I'd like to believe that there's some like, like, like, like I'm thinking of this. I'm thinking of this girl is like a puzzle piece and she's like kind of a fucked up puzzle piece and she's just got to find another fucked up looking puzzle piece that somehow magically, perfectly fits into all the little curves and edges of her fucked up puzzle piece. I'd like to believe that the world works that way. I really would. So hopefully I don't. Maybe this person could find somebody else to live this kind of a life with who enjoys it. Who maybe is equally. I don't know, I. Equally off. Maybe. I don't know. I don't know. But no, I don't think that you and your other friends should tell this person that. That they're on the spectrum. I don't think that's a good idea. I don't think you're particularly, you know, I don't think that's a good idea. But yeah, I mean, I don't know. Try to get out of there. I don't know what the lease situation looks like, but. Alright, do doodle. Do, do. Okay, I'm gonna read one more. I'm gonna read one more and then I gotta get out of here. I'm gonna read one more. Let's see. Okay. Oh, okay. This per. This is from a guy named Steven. And sometimes on Gmail you can have a little profile picture. And this guy's profile picture is Pablo from the Backyardigans with the little hatch. Really cute subject line. I had surgery on my penis. Howdy. Call me Steven. Recently there's been a trend on the podcast of people talking about horrible things happening to their penis. I would like to contribute to make half of the audience uncomfortable. You know what's funny is I was at a table of people. I was like, I was, I was at a table of folks and the recently and it was, it was me three, three guys and one lady. And I was talking about like, I was talking about the podcast and they were like, what's, what's one of the craziest things you've heard on the podcast? Like, that's something people ask me a lot. And I don't know, I don't have like a go to story when people ask me that. But it was just after the most re. I was like, just after I recorded the most recent episode and I told them the story about the lady shoving tic tacs into a guy's pee hole and crunching on them. And all the men at the table like, like shrieked and, and, and the, the one lady was like, I'm confused. I don't know why that would hurt, but I don't know. I don't know if that's. Yeah, I guess. Okay, I would like to contribute to make half the audience uncomfortable. I have three older brothers and we all had the same biological issue. The whole of the penis was too small, so when we peed, it sprayed all over. Think of covering a running hose. Think of covering half a running hose with your thumb. Okay, that makes sense. All of my brothers got a surgery where they increased the size of the hole with an incision. This happened when they were all young, around 2 to 3. But I got the surgery at 12. Since I was much more conscious about what the procedure entailed. I had horrible dread. The months leading up to the surgery. That sounds awful. The dread was actually much worse than the procedure. But I still have to live with a vivid memory of an older doctor rubbing ointment on my penis. As Uncle Grandpa was on the hospital's tv, was on the hospital room's tv. The weeks after were hell. And I'll spare the details, but now I have an amazing, powerful stream. And that, folks, was Geck mail. That was Geck mail. I don't know. Do I have a anything else to say about this? No, I think that email speaks for itself. There was Geck mail, folks. Thank you all for being here. Anything else? Do I have anything else? Oh, I'm doing a fucking. I live. I live. I'm. I'm in Tokyo right now and I'm doing a live show here in Tokyo, Japan. I am doing a live show here in Tokyo, Japan. I don't have a fucking. We're switching around the date as of recording this right now. I don't have a date, but it'll be like the last week of February or some shit. I want to plug it in this podcast, but I don't have the full date. Look, if you want to come and you're hearing this right now at a point where I don't have a date, just send an email to therapy gecko mail.com just being like, hey, I live in Tokyo and I want to come to the show and whenever I have the. I'll just hand email you the link to. To the. The ticket link to the show. So whatever. If you live in Tokyo right now and you want to come to my Gekko show, then I'll just. You just send an email that you want to come to therapy gecko mail gmail.com and I'll just. Whenever I have the link, I'll send you the fucking thing. Also, if you want me to read your email as part. If you. If, you know, aside from everything I just said, if you want me to read your email on the next Geck mail, send me an email therapygeckomailmail.com and also I do this kind of like randomly and sporadically. So sometimes, you know, you can send me an email and I'll record like three episodes and then I'll go back and read like two month old emails that I haven't read. So go ahead and send any emails that you want me to read to therapy gecko mailmail.com thank you all for listening to my podcast. Thank you all for everything that. The thing is tech. Thank you all for all things. And yeah, I Don't know, do I? Yeah. Okay, well, this is the end of the podcast, so, you know, nothing I say has to be good because I already. We already did a whole podcast. This is just a bonus. This is nothing. All right, well. Oh, yes. Oh, I forgot about that. Oh, yeah, we're. Oh, yeah. Just we. We're one. We're the 6%. We're the 6% of people that are still alive. If you're listening to this, congratulations on being one of the 6% of people that are alive. And, you know, enjoy it. Do something with it, I guess. All right, thank you. Bye. Bye.
