Hello kids, this is Risk, the show where people tell true stories they never thought they

dare to share.

I'm Kevin Allison, and every Thursday we release these special episodes where we look

back at content from our earlier years.

Sometimes single stories, sometimes whole episodes, keep in mind that years ago people might

have awarded things differently than they would today.

As always, the title of the whole series, Risk, is itself a content warning.

This week, an episode that premiered in August of 2011, it's an episode we call Close to the Edge.

Isaiah 78.

And find your night what it's like to lose everything

The sun's hot, it's not so bad

It's what it needs to know what it's like to grow old

I'm Kevin Allison, that was Little Death Up Top, beautiful, I love it

And this is Bubble Club behind me now

We're calling this episode close to the edge, folks

Because we're in the dog days of summer at this point and I think we're all feeling a little bit close to the edge

I feel close to the edge, no you're a butt

These are stories wherein people found themselves well within the boundaries

Around which we're an edge or they're about

Our first story comes to us from the editor of ESPN Magazine
