Hey folks, this is Kevin. On this week's episode of Viscuil here, Shane Torres.

And walked a man I can only describe as having one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel.

That and more. But before that, I just wanted to say that a new Patreon donor would like me to thank

Christina for introducing him to risk and being such a good audience for his first story.

More importantly for being such an unlikely and supportive and ridiculously fun friend recently.

Also a shout out to another new Patreon donor Sarah Allen. Now Sarah gets a shout out because she
