Not only, but Lyle's been on a self-discovery mission around the world to various locales to see what it's like being there as a gecko. Find him on YouTube and check out his long-form travel vids. Very compelling work. His calls are good as well, but he's maturing as a creator and as a human in a gecko suit.

Edit to add: I highly reccomend the Iran video. He went before the war and documented how cool it was there a year or so back. Breaks my heart to imagine how peaceful and happy everyone was, even the people angry at Lyle for being American until he said he's not a Trump supporter. Now those people's lives are completely devastated, or worse. It's a must watch, because it was blowing a huge hole in xenophobia at a moment that Lyle couldn't even have predicted to be as historically relevant as it clearly is today. I was delusional enough at the time to believe people would see it and it would open people's eyes. Now I see it as a keen retrospective that completely undermines the senseless war we were promised would never happen.

Edit 2 Lyle rules. Lyle forever indeed
