It was October 2nd, 2020. Robot Don was only a bust. BenMonster lived in 480p. The Machine didn't exist. It was back when Therapy Gecko (Lyle Forever) was averaging 200 viewers per stream. Out of sheer coincidence (or fate?), Geck had decided to raid BenMonster during one of their weekly Tuesdays with Ben Monster! streams. Destruction was iminent when the first follower was announced by Ice Cream Jerry. Then popped up the fateful words:

lyleforever is raiding with a party of 138!

Ice Cream Jerry would not shut up! Mayhem abounded! Follower after follower, Geck emote after Geck emote; fearful, Robot Don and BenMonster pleaded with Juan to stop breaking the show with !rumourmill. The damage was dealt and it was permanent.

Through this raid, the BenMonster family gained many influential members that turned the Mon-verse on its head. The Great Geck Raid will be revered by many BenMonster fans for years to come. It was the decision of one, small gecko that changed the lives of a lot of people. Many who were apart of the raid from Geck recall being astonished at the jarring nature of Tuesdays with Ben Monster! but quickly fell in love with the wonderful people who ran it, and their followers. October 2nd, 2020 is a day that goes down in history for the BenMonster fam.
