Hey, folks, it's Lyle. I'm dropping in to let you guys know that I'm going on a gigantic tour across like forty five cities around the US, Europe, the UK, Canada, and Australia to do my Therapy Gecko Show Live and tickets are on sale right now at therapy geckotour dot com. A lot of you might be wondering what exactly is this live show. I don't do stand up comedy anymore. I don't play music. I don't recite lizard poetry, although
that would be an interesting idea. Basically, how these shows work is it's me bringing folks from the audience up on stage and talking to them, just like I do on this podcast. So before the show starts, there's a phone number up on a screen, and people who want to come on stage and talk text the phone number with their name and what they want to talk about. Meanwhile, I'm backstage reading the texts and kind of screening out
who might be interesting to talk to. And we bring those folks up and we talked to them for about an hour or so, and that's the show. So every show in every city will be completely different and for each one. I have no idea what I'm getting into, I have no idea what people are gonna want to come up and talk about. And it's been kind of terrifying but also the most fun part of the whole experience.
Last year I did about fifteen of these shows around the country, and they were all incredibly fun and surprising, and the crowds were great and supportive, and the energy was immaculate. And you know, this format of doing my fucking gecko therapy thing live in front of an audience, it became my favorite way to do it. You know, I was having more fun doing this than even with the phone calls or the street stuff. You know, crazy things would happen. Man, a girl brought a cake and
sat on it in front of everyone. I made these two twin brothers arm wrestle each other. I'll tell you this story, which I might have told on here before, but at the show in Philly, this guy came on stage and told a story about how he came out as gay to his girlfriend of six years, and it was a fascinating story. He really kind of built up the emotion of it. He was talking about how they were gonna buy a house and have kids and all that stuff, and he knew he had to tell her,
but he couldn't do it. And then he took acid and that made him realize that he had to, and so he did. And then things were rough at the beginning, but they stayed friends afterwards and all worked out. And now he goes to these orgy parties in the woods and has a great time. And he told that story. And then I do these meet and greets after the show, and the guy who came up on stage came and met me during the meet and greet and he told
me that. After he got off stage and the show ended, another guy came up to him and was like kind of crying and was like, dude, that story that you told up there, that same thing happened to me, and it was kind of like a bonding moment. And I was like, oh, my holy shit, that's amazing. And I don't even I don't even have anything to do with that. I'm just kind of facilitating this whole thing. But anyway, amazing, crazy, wild, weird things like that have happened at all of these
shows so far. And if you're a fan of the podcast and you're near by a city, that I'm doing one of these things in you should come. I am ready and excited and kind of terrified for the challenge of doing forty five of these this year, and I
would love to have you on the journey.
