Hey folks, this is Kevin. I want to tell you about one of our Patreon patrons,

us at risk-show.com slash submissions. When you can't quite get the angle, take hands

free selfies with the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5. Stand it up, step back, and your photos

are also synced to your Chromebook, ready to edit. The new Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 and

Chromebook, available on Vodafone. Now, here's the show.

Hello, folks. This is Risk, the show where people tell true stories. They never thought they
