0:07.0	getting mugged at 15. As I was walking along the sidewalk on one side of the road, two of them
0:13.9	crossed and then the other three stood at a distance. He goes, hey, brothers, you got any eats.
0:18.5	And I'm like, no, I don't have any eats. He's like, brothers, you got any eats, bro? And I said, no, I don't have any food. And he's like, oh, not food, brother. Has he got any money? And I said, no, come on, bro, you haven't got any money? And I said, yeah, I've got something. So I literally had, all that I had in my wallet was five pounds, because I'd had this weird feeling that something was going to happen. So I'd put my money into my socks.
0:40.7	And so I gave them the five pounds.
0:42.3	And they go, give us your mobile. And I was like, no. They said, give us your mobile. It was at
0:46.7	this point that they had taken a knife out. Today on the show, comedian Ian Stanley talks about

0:55.2	Stay close.
1:03.4	Hey, it's Ian Stanley, and you're listening to Storyworthy.

1:57.8	The other thing that makes him unique to this show is he's in Idaho.
2:01.5	I don't know if I've ever talked to anybody in Idaho, but this is very exciting. And today, Ian
2:06.3	Stanley brings us the topic mugged at 15. So that is terrifying. I'm looking forward to hearing about
2:13.6	that. But first off, I wanted to say, Ian, it's nice to meet you. And I like how I read in one of
