  • Real fun, sometimes serious, always either interesting, hilarious or both. The host is in fact a REAL fake Gecko Therapist, and quite good at it. Hope he comes to Finland!! ❤️ I must call him some day!! Maybe tomorrow, maybe never, but definitely some day! ❤️

  • Jose didn’t consent to posting his call

    You need to take down Jose’s call. He did not consent to you posting that and was clearly distressed by you posting the call. You are better than this Therapy Gecko. You are supposed to help people.
