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

dare to share.

I'm Kevin Allyson 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 a story that Calco for shared on the podcast, in December of 2016, here's Calco

orchestra, great friends?

It's pretty scary.

About 25 years ago, buddy of mine, Joe was at his house and we decided after hanging out

all day that we were going to go and go see our girlfriends, pretty late, about 9, 10

o'clock at night, near Mondale in Mal.

Yeah, no way.

I said I was an honorable student, not the smartest guy in the world.
