Hey folks, this is Kevin. On this week's episode of Riskyl here, Jeff Zimmerman.

He's like, what are you? College boy or something?

And I was like, yeah, I went to college, but you are also going to college in the fall.

Or that.

That and more, but first, are you in Seattle or Portland or anywhere near Seattle or Portland?

Well, pitch us your stories and you might be included in our Seattle show or our Portland show.

Seattle is on November 18th, Portland, November 19th. You can pitch us by going to risk-show.com,

slash submissions, the suggested optional themes of the stories that night are also listed on that

page. And if you want to see one of those shows, if you don't want to pitch us to be up on stage,

but want to come see it, go to risk-show.com slash tour. Also, while we're talking about pitches,

now it's the time to send us your winter holiday stories. Stories about Christmas,

Hanukkah, New Year's, Thanksgiving, you know, happy stories, could be sad stories too,

but pitch us those winter holiday stories at risk-dashshow.com slash submissions.

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 Allison. This is David Carbonara. Ah, I mean, now and we are calling this week's

episode, make yourself at home. I rather ironic title actually for these three stories. Now this

is the very first episode of what will be our 13th year. The very first episode of the podcast was

October 6th, 2009. I can't lie, this has been, I think, the toughest year, I think 2021 has made 2020

and it's look easy by comparison. I feel like Apton A-hab, some weeks just chasing after the white

whale that is keeping risk running despite our financial situation. I had to get on Medicaid,

so I don't know, maybe that'll ease up at least some of the bills in my personal life over here.
