PLEASE SKIP THIS EPISODE!!!...unless you want to experience cringe so bad it will make YOU crawl out of your own skin! But really....this episode is NOT an accurate representation of what the rest of my podcast is like...the only thing it accurately depicts...is how dishonest portrayal of politeness, decency and what you perceive as "mass appeal" (and using Audacity for the first time EVER) are a recipe for failure! This episode exists just to be mocked by my future self...cuuz at least I cannot sue myself for slander and harassment! :D

======================

ORIGINAL LOSER EPISODE DESCRIPTION:

Yay, the very first episode :) Geckolepis megalepis are sneaky little guys that are not afraid to show some skin. Actually, their survival depends on it! Join us as we delve into the life of a relatively new lizard species that loooves to pull a fast one on scientists. We also mix in a small dose of self-mutilation jokes and socialist ideology!

SIDENOTE: Apologies for the lower sound quality and.....politeness I guess :P Just like this gecko, I eventually shed my own skin and grew a new, more amazing and confident layer :)
