being a gecko in New Zealand
Комедия
After spilling BBQ sauce on myself, I took to the streets of Auckland, New Zealand to talk to people as a gecko.
Those people include a social worker who teaches other people how to be good social workers, an optimistic musician, a pizza-bartender who reflects on his financial habits, an American transplant who questions the concept of happiness, and a tourism student who is obsessed with foreign currencies.

Lyle, I honestly believe your videos will be some of the most important pieces of media for the future. You preserve the life through the parlance of our time in every background shot. Just people living how people live in 2023. You also provide personal, one-to-one interviews with a handful of random people which provides such a much more intimate view of life. Not only is it thought provoking, it’s pretty family friendly. The kids even get a cool mascot lol

I enjoy these plenty, but need help imagining a future where meaningful interviews are important in a grand way. Please tell me more about your prediction, like will these get plastic out of the ocean, slow climate change, address the opioid/mental health/housing/poverty crises, or end the Cold War reboot? Tell me good things, please.
Whenever Lyle asks an American if they are happy, no matter the circumstance, they say no... That's fascinating

It's the most American thing to be. Unhappy with how everything is being run. It's how we started 😂

I think when point blank asked to declare if one is happy, the natural inclination is to say no because it's much easier to empathize with someone who's "sad". In both cases you'll then be elaborating on why you feel the way you do, but we all know that if you're outwardly confident that you're in a happy state that there's a very real feeling that it could all go away in an instant for numerous reasons. It kind of relates to Jake's last thought about having the right amount of fear about things.

6:00 coupla kids just narutoing around
But like, why did this video hit so different 😂😂😭😭😭 it’s raw. People trust the gecko and truly talk about themselves. And gecko is the perfect medium to take away that awkwardness and judgement while people live in the moment
i took a ripski off the bong within the first couple seconds and this dude says the funniest most irrelevant line. "I got some BBQ sauce on the suit last night" almost sent bong water across my room

😂😂😂 better across the room then accidentally sucked in haha
the random guy that tried to hog the mic with his crack in front of the cam lolol and the seagulls were pretty cool
Lyle finally figuring out that he"s the gecko undergoing human therapy is a golden moment! You know you help a lot of people on the way too. NZ looks as chill as we imagine it to be. Bryan, you are a cool dude.
you are truly the impartial king. respect
I really like the tourism student. Although i have no idea what tourism university is
guy 3/ "american transplant" left a real impression, seems like a real wise and well meaning dude with a breadth of interesting life experience. i feel like i couldve listened to a whole episode with them. big fan of the term "tall poppy syndrome" too lol, thats a new one for the books
16:28 damn RIP
there will be college courses studying this podcast one day
Bro when were you here, I live in Auckland 😂
Lyle is struggling with that last persons accent 😂
I knew this was going to be great, new zealand is a magnificent place with many kinds of people. And by many kinds i mean kinds of people who seem to live life honestly as it can be lived if that makes sense. My middle school history teacher was a kiwi and he was just so much more remarkable than a middle school teacher ought to be. I also met a New zealander named Nigel up towards Lake Tahoe a couple summers before the pandemic, he was vacationing with his wife and kids and he was such an easygoing and welcoming man to meet. New Zealand has such a wild generation of college kids right now that party harder than any US campus ive seen. There was a youtube channel did this amateur documentary i saw abourt a party town where the kids drank and partied everynight and it was so wild they literally just thrashed the town everynight it was like lord of the flies decided to turn up instead of hunting Piggy😂😂😂
Live for this. 😂 ADHD adults win the world..(one day)... Love!
Jack was staring into your soul ..
yo i was just thinking of moving to New Zealand and then this vid popped up
Jack is the man!

He did have a charming gentlemenlike appearance at first yet as he went on I recognized a graceful poise. I agree, bet he slays in a dress

is that what Biden is? chill and... level-headed?🤣the man can't speak properly and he's faking running the country while funnelling literally trillions away from his people. Trump increased wealth and enforced safety for all Americans his entire presidency @@x_x_6__
