Hey folks, this is Kevin. Hey, listen, I am taking a three week long break. I'm going up north to Chiang Mai, Thailand to take a three week long Thai language class. So I'm really looking forward to that and I'm leaving you in the hands of our fabulous staff here. However, I thought it would be helpful for me to say a few words before this episode. We want to give listeners fair warning that this episode features extremely sensitive subject matter. What today's storyteller, LeCount Holmes, came away feeling about his experiences is not what many other people might have come away feeling if they'd been through similar experiences. I always say that we here on Risk, the creators of the show, we truly do not endorse or promote the sorts of behavior that people engage in in stories. We aim to let the storytellers share their own subjective perspectives of their own lives if we feel they are speaking in good faith and from a place of compassion. But listeners who have had any trauma around child sexual abuse or incestuous relational dynamics should be warned, this could be an especially tough episode to hear. That said, we do feel that LeCount was sharing with us from a place of honest sincerity. We felt a loving kindness in his sharing, but we want you to know we understand this is taboo territory for good reason and we wanted to give you all fair warning beforehand. So without further ado, I will leave you to our producer, Taj Easton, who did such a beautiful job with this episode.

You'll also hear Taj Easton. Was this thing on by speaking to this partner? How do you know if it's working? Because Taj is hosting this week's episode. Hey, everybody, this is Risk, the show where people tell true stories they never thought they'd dare to share. This is Rafter in the background now, and I'm Taj Easton sitting in for Kevin Allison this week because I formed a very meaningful relationship with this week's storyteller, LeCount Holmes Jr. The story you're about to hear is cut from a series of very candid conversations between Lecount and I about dads. And I have a or two about dads. Let me tell you what, you're not going to hear me much in here because this is the Count's story. But damn it, know that I was sitting there pretty transfixed because I wish my dad loved me better. If you have a dad, you probably have daddy issues because that's been the case for everyone I've ever met. LeCount Holmes Jr. I've only known the guy a couple of months, but to be perfectly honest, I called him Pops by the end of our first conversation. So I said to Kevin, look, that's my dad's story, kind of. So I would like to present it, please. So I present to y' all this week's episode Pop Obi's vibrator. And I'm extremely excited and you are about to hear why. I would just like to make everyone aware it is sexually explicit and it contains scenes and circumstances which some folks might find uncomfortable or outright triggering. Be aware. We're gonna go to commercial for a moment and then we'll be right back.
