0:00.0	Hello, folks, this is Risk, the show where people tell true stories.
0:12.4	They never thought they dare to share.
0:14.9	I'm Kevin Allison, and this is a special bonus episode that we're putting out.
0:26.7	This is a story that was first released on the podcast in 2013.
0:34.1	It's a story by Melanie Hamlet, and it's called My Life in the House of Clowns,
0:37.0	one of the greatest titles ever.
0:45.3	But the reason we're re-releasing this one right now is because we recently re-released another story of Melanie Hamlets from back in the day, I think it was from 2012, called

1:32.2	that I figured we should refresh people's memories about what goes on in this story also.
1:39.6	Now, both stories, fuck or fight and my life in the House of Clowns,
1:43.8	they have what I would describe as a
1:45.6	date, rapy context, which is precisely why I thought Melanie might have a different perspective of
1:52.8	them now that she's older and wiser. So that gives you a little bit of a heads up about
1:57.6	where we're about to go. And don't miss our next episode,
2:02.1	Fuck or Fight Revisited,
2:03.6	where the story you're about to hear right now
