"MY SOCIAL SKILLS ARE GONE"

iHeartPodcasts
About this episode

A caller tells me how living much of his life in virtual reality over the past 3 years has caused him to go from being a confident extrovert to lacking any real life social skills.

Afterwards caller’s grandpa accidentally films his sex tape on a family vacation, a caller shares concerns over rumors about her childhood friend’s sexuality, and a caller tells me about how an activity known as “monkey time” has brought his friend group closer together.

Then I talk to a person IN REAL LIFE who’s studying brain surgery at Harvard University as part of a series of street interviews I did on campus there.

What should I do with my life? I am a gecko.
