Read Time:1 Minute, 13 Second
A caller reflects on the effects his social masking has had on his life, how his mom stole $100k of Pokémon cards from him, how he got thru a rough divorce, and other things. He was a really interesting guy and it was a great call.
Afterwards I go on a very long Dave Ramsey-esque rant to an 18 year old about living at home to save money.
I might go get really into darts. I am a gecko.

Bitch we know u! I know that first caller! Fent addict, goes and burns ALL his relationships prior to his wife that shers HER rv w/ him but when shit hits the fan and she takes it…he meets what he actually thinks are "nerds" and tries to make a buck when he remembers that he left some Pokemon cards in his mom's house whose been worried sick for years and they werent even saved properly, even less $100,000. Hobosexual asking for pity over here.
Mom's will do anything to get money but actually get a job.
i wish i could watch your videos in ultra hd please get a better camera
Poor guy ..
god, first caller. hurts my heart. ivan i want to talk to u 😭 pls
The first guy sounds like the music guy from the YouTube
🫶🏾
I've been down with the geck since day one
Just watched a gecko suck itself off
Did he not try to recover the monetary value of the pokeman cards? Why not report them stolen to the police and try to get your money back or go to court?
I have the same anxiety as the first caller! Sometimes I’m great at socializing and other times I struggle and feel like I come off really weird. Every social interaction I have to think through. I get physical symptoms as well, where I’ll sweat no matter the temperature, my hands shake, it’s hard for me to keep still. I’m a server, so I get exposure therapy everyday 😭😂. It’s reeeaally hard some days, but I just love people so much, I can’t help but want to work with people. Would love to chat with him! I also have a bf, and 0 friends because it’s hard for me to comfortably speak to others.
Shit bro 😢 Wanna send my prayers to Ivan, his story is officially first therapy gecko story to legitimately make me cry. Seems like such a real dude. I hope he finds another friend who gets him like his old homie did. I hope his divorce proceedings go through smoothly without decimating his savings (especially considering all he's already lost), and although a long shot, i hope maybe one day his parents wake up and take accountability for what they did, and they are able to repair the fam. Good luck brother, you ain't deserve what you've endured, and yet you have handled yourself respectably in light of the circumstances.
I feel sympathize with the first caller but the big question here is why did he leave his pokemon collection with his mom in the first place? That should have been locked in a safe next to his bed.
To the second caller, there is definitely a lot of local music stuff in the Vegas community to check out. They post them a lot online like Instagram, but also checking out Zia Records as well because they have a lot of flyers for upcoming events with familiar friendly faces. (｀ ´)ゞ
Bro get off the mess you were spiraling g during that second caller. Holy shit
Ur from rhode island, that makes sense 401 reppin Warwick born n raised
bro whatever you do do not work 12 hours a day for minimum wage…
Dude I relate to this caller hard about the hyper fixation conversations! I feel like it’s a double edge sword sometimes.
I just want to caution about Vyvanse, because it is chemically just amphetamine and if you have a massive increase in energy, euphoria, ideation and restlessness it's a sign that it isn't working properly or appropriately. It can also cause anger issues in some people.
My psychiatrist explained that like in my situation when I took Vyvamse it calmed me, I would sometimes fall asleep after taking it because it brings you back to a baseline and over time you have more energy because your mind isn't working as hard. It's not supposed to give you energy or a high in itself, just figures I'd throw that out there. When I hear it's energizing it's kind of a redflag. Theres also ritalin and even modafinil which is not a stimulant some people respond better to for adhd. Not a doctor though so don't necessarily take any of this as advice.
Also that guy is being exploited af at that rate of $100 a day lol
I feel like I could be good friends with Ivin
So… homie, your mom didn’t just sell your cards, she STOLE from you 😭 That’s so messed up….
My kid falls asleep to your voice. I thought you might like to know that Lyle (:
I feel this. It gets better ❤
first one is the best call i ever listened to. and while facing all this he still seem to have some rizz on him, thats impressive.
1:19 dont know him yet to well but thw caller is real asf glad im not alone💀
I relate hard to the first dude, always thought I was on the spectrum too lmao. Also to the second dude, you don't need to get fulfillment from a job. I feel like it's some weird american thing to try and get everything from your job, when in actuality as long as you don't wanna neck yourself from it and you can find enjoyment and fulfiment outisde of it and make a decent living then hell ya brother. Just give your dad's job a try and if it blows chunks then dip.
The first caller I relate to so much lol! I love Nathan too and recently started watching the rehearsal it’s definitely eye opening lol
🎉
Oh man, I want to give that first caller a hug, It hurts to hear that such a kind person was involved in such an unfortunate situation.
If i was this person and Id tell my mom she owes me at least 100k or whatever the market value was for when she sold them. That's just stealing straight up. I'd setup a playment plan
I relate to putting on an act and preparing for conversations. I'm just fake AF tho. Idk why
It's hard being a single mom when I have no kids and I'm a dude 😎
Thanks GECK! 😇
