Hey folks, this is Kevin. Just a few words before we start. We have so many amazing live shows coming up in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and at Wesleyan University.

First, in LA, on January 26, we have the legendary Bobcat Goldthwaite, author Andy Berman, and actresses Stacey Mayer and Eliza Skinner.

That very same night, January 26, in New York, we have another one of the greats, Judy Gold, plus Julie Klausner, Jeff Zimmerman, and Rob Cantrell.

On January 27, in San Francisco, it's an all-star show, Ben Grant, Kerry Kenny, Nikki Glazer, Joshua Grinnell, and Natasha Lazaro.

You have to go to sfsketchfest.com to find out about that. Very next night, January 28, we have another all-star show, Steve A.G. Shang Wang, Mike Kaplan, Rick Overton, and Vanessa Ragland.

And finally, if you're a student at Wesleyan University, look for us on February 10, because we're bringing comedian Kamau Bell there.

And we're going to also be featuring stories by students and professors from the university itself.

Always check risk-show.com for more information about our live shows.

And just a quick note, I made a mistake on the last episode of risk, the final story by Trouble Jones, the one about the three way and the tampon.

That actually was not recorded at a risk show that was recorded at a show that we know and love here in New York City, Ask Me.

It's hosted by the lovely Kamikamako and David Krab. Ask Me is also a wonderful storytelling podcast that you can look up on iTunes for more stories to hear there.

So sorry for the confusion over that. Now here's the show.

Let's go through this.

Hello, kids. This is Extra Risk, where we give you just a little bit more of the show where people tell true stories than ever thought they dared to share.

I'm Kevin Allison. This is Voyagers Behind Me Now.

Well, we teach a lot of workshops of storytelling workshops up here in New York. You can find out more at thestorystudio.org.

But at one of them, it was a one-day workshop, this fabulously talented young man named Peyton Clarkson stopped by.

And he told this story there. Got such a kick out of it that I asked him if he could come in and record it.

And it was just as much fun to hear the second time around. Peyton is a stand-up comedian here in New York.

You can find him at PeytonClarkson.com. And here he is now with a story we call The Minions.

So pretty much my entire adult life has been about trying to find jobs that will sustain me without having to join the actual workforce.

And it's led to a bunch of different things, a bunch of odds and ends, and none of them really pay that well.
