Hey folks, this is Kevin. On this week's episode of Risky, you'll hear Emerson Dameron.

I thought no more angry drunks. For now on, I'm hanging out exclusively with horny artists.

Pat and more. But first, hey, all those November-risk live shows are right around the corner.

November 11th, we're in Reno. Oh my gosh, we are finally back in Reno, Nevada.

Really amazing stories coming together for the Reno show. The venue is called The Theater.

It's on Keystone Road, the shows at 8 p.m. And again, that's Friday, November 11th.

Now, two days later, I'll be flying to Los Angeles to do the risk live show at the hotel cafe,

co-hosting with David Krabb. That's going to be so much fun. That show, that LA show has been on a

real role lately. So, come on out LA Tuesday. November 15th at 7 p.m. is when the LA show is.

And then finally, two days after that, Jesus Lord, give me strength. I'll be flying back to New York

to do the risk live show at caveat on November 17th at 9.30 p.m. Listen, our show at caveat has

also been going phenomenal lately. So, be sure to go to risk-show.com slash tour for tickets

and info about attending any live shows in person or watching the live streams from home.

That info is always at risk-show.com slash tour. We'll be right back.

Now, here's the show.

Hello kids, this is Risk. The show where people tell true stories, they never thought they dare to share.

I'm Kevin Allyson, this is the Everly Brothers behind me now. We're calling this week's episode

Love Hurtz. Two stories in which the storyteller dearly loves someone with a substance abuse problem.

We often hear stories from folks who are in recovery themselves from substance abuse.

But this is fascinating today to hear two stories from the loved ones of people going through

that sort of ordeal. You might be surprised at how funny and heartwarming and just surprising

these sorts of stories can be, you know, life is so full of contradictions and unexpected turns.
