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

dared to share.

I'm Kevin Allyson and every Thursday we release these special episodes that we're calling

classic risk singles.

Each of these episodes features just one story from our previous years.

If you're new to Risk, you should know that the podcast can be very uncensored.

This week a story by comedian Tim Heideker that he first shared on the podcast in 2012,

it's not for the squeamish and it's called Sudden Blood.

Hello, can I have the music off please?

I'm not going to tell a funny story but I am a funny person so you're probably going

to laugh.

So that's good news.

It happened in March of 2006.

I was living in Los Angeles in Los Felis.

I was living in a little bungalow community and I was asleep.

It was around 12.30 at night and I was awoken from my sleep by the pounding of

my iron gate and the voice of my neighbor, an older woman screaming, Tim, please help.

My son is overdosing.

My son is going to die.

I don't know what to do.

I've called the police.

No one's come.
