"Issue. And I should also mention that it really triggered this huge motivation behind us is that I was looking at my email. It's back in April 2020. So we work with Asian agents community organizations across the Michigan and particularly in this Battle Creek where the for me refugee settlement has years of Burma center and the colleague of the ED executive director tok. She kind of called me it was like, do you know that she was actually contacted by a firearm kind of a gun shop owner and he went to par and asking her why all of a sudden the Burmese the very quiet and very peaceful making kind of people actually come out and to his store and purchase guns and that's actually happened in our communities in Michigan. And as you probably know that Michigan unlike the West Coast or New York, we didn't have much of those type of incident reported if you look at the demographics and we actually have maps in our study to show where the incidental racism are the highest. Michigan is not one of them, but then this is actually what I just described was happening in this very little time but again, it's not a big urban city. And so in our study started getting approval and then kind of conceptualizing take a few probably a half year. So we started collecting data, the end of 2020 around December time. That's so interesting. And the study that you both worked on was kind of the first to explore this association between racism and firearm related behaviors and intentions among Asian Americans and I'm wondering why do you think that your study was the earth of its kind?

Before the festivities began take your dog for a long walk, this will allow them to potty before the noise and it tires them out.

"15 seasons playing professional basketball in Europe talk about that chapter of your life please I got a little lucky I got to admit I got a little lucky you know we were in Oakland's first year at under coach campy We won the old summit league which is the mid continent conference back then We won the regular season We beat valpo that had I think wanted like 5 or 6 years in a row And I still had one of your eligibility but I just thought at the time the bosman rule was coming into consideration The bosman rule was that anybody with a European passport doesn't count as a foreigner So for example an Italian team could have two Americans and two European players on roster So you had to have you could have two Americans or non Europeans To Europeans and the rest had to be tight So while we were coming off a really good season I had a Bosnian passport You know I had a Belgian passport so I got a great offer to go play in Italy And I ended up signing with probably the best team I could have because it was full of vets Walter berry you know was on that It was his last season Like a Croatian guy just a lot of vets that taught me what it was to be professional and what mistakes not to make And it was a really phenomenal season Italy played there one more no and then after that I just went to Belgium transferred to Belgium because my wife who I had met at Oakland got a teaching job at in Belgium And so we were really lucky to be able to combine her career and teaching as well as 14 more years of basketball after Italy So my I guess my career was always a role player I never really had that much talent I just really knew what it was like to play on championship teams And can't be really educated me that way I give them a lot of credit on learning what it is plus my first year with guys like Walter berry what it is to play it What championship coaches are looking for And so I saw that it was much more advantageous to be a role player on championship teams than be a star player on crappy teams And that's the story of my career Your life at that point was fantastic Yeah Let's go to March 22nd 2016 God had a different plan for you tell us about that day please Yeah when I retired from basketball with two buddies of mine we started a little company called key motion And it was the world's first automated video production system And so you could it was a coaching tool It was a marketing tool You could live stream a basketball game 100% automatically No cameraman no operator And we had just opened offices in New York So I was at the airport waiting to catch a flight I was about to catch a flight From Brussels back to New York And right when I'm at the ticket counter and right when they hand me the boarding pass a Bond goes off about say 50 yards behind me And I feel the explosion and right away I knew that it was a lot of was in the news you know there was a lot of attacks during that time throughout Europe And right away I knew it was a terrorist attack And so my first instinct was not to run towards the exit because I thought they were going to come in with machine guns and everything I decided to run towards passport control Where I knew that there were police officers that were there And so unfortunately I ran straight towards the second terrorist And when he detonated the bomb I was about 5 yards 6 yards away from the second bomb That practically blew both my legs off While trying to flee you know the first bomb I got caught in a second one which radically changed my life In that moment Your wife Sarah your two daughters were back in Battle Creek They were expecting you in a couple weeks for Easter You're laying there your picture of you laying there when all over the world what were your thoughts your focus how did you survive those first few minutes Yeah it's a question that still comes up You know it's one of those challenges that life gave me of trying to dissect what made me what gifted me the survivor to be a survivor not a victim A victim is someone who after a challenge becomes less And a survivor is someone who overcomes a challenge Who may be changed forever but who overcomes it And the bigger the challenge the bigger the lesson So it may sound crazy but I was fortunate to have a dead woman right next to me So two seconds after I came to after the second there was a dead woman that was next to me And I realized I think that's where the real blessing was Was in an instance I realized that this dead woman was a victim You know she had no choice to survive Her journey ended there But I actually survived the bomb I was still alive So in that very moment instead of being a victim of a bombing attack I was a survivor of a bombing attack And it gave me a completely new perspective on the challenge that lay ahead of me which you know I was bleeding to death and I had to find ways.

"If you grew up in North America or parts of Europe, you're probably picturing breakfast. But when you think about it, anything nutritious and filling is enough to get you going in the morning. So why are these foods, as opposed to other equally tasty things relegated to breakfast? Before the article this episode is based on, how stuff works spoke by email with doctor Beth Forrest, 8 Professor of liberal arts and applied food studies at the culinary institute of America in Hyde Park, New York. She said, there are a host of influences that have shaped the concept of breakfast from older Christian beliefs, socioeconomics, trade, technology, medical theory, and constructs of nutrition, convenience and marketing, to name a few. The history of what Americans consider to be breakfast food, a traces its roots back hundreds, or even thousands of years. Things like eggs, sausages, and a version of pancakes were typical in Ancient Rome, though few people at that time ate early in the morning. And, of course, although some foods have stayed the breakfast course, the meal has also changed significantly. Forest said fish, beer and wine could be found on the table, going back to the medieval period. In addition to foods that we see today, eggs, bacon, bread and cheese, conversely, porridges, oatmeal, and other grains, would be consumed across meals, and not regulated to only the breakfast meal. But things changed during the industrial revolution. As people began to have less time to devote to meals. A force said breakfast is often necessarily fast, and the foods that are served for breakfast need to be able to be prepared quickly. Time is just one of the factors that's shaped what Americans know as breakfast. The rest of the story can be told through the foods themselves. Take bacon and eggs, for example, that was a PR stunt. The story goes like this. In the 1920s, beechnut packing company wanted to get more people to eat bacon. And beechnut was a producer of lots of foods at the time, including chewing gum, peanut butter, and pork. The company hired PR consultant Edward bernays, who just happened to be the nephew of Sigmund Freud. They found that most Americans ate light breakfasts, so beach nuts new campaign suggested a heavy breakfast would be healthier. Quote, because the body loses energy during the night and needs it during the day. That message was spread in newspapers around the country, and wouldn't you know, sales of bacon began to skyrocket. And soon, eggs and bacon were married forever. Cold cereal has an even stranger history. It got its start as a health food, served two patients in sanatoriums. That is facilities where people went for long treatment stays, for mental, or physical health. They were more like retreats than hospitals. Doctor John Kellogg. Yes, that Kellogg ran a sanatorium in Battle Creek, Michigan, and made a type of granola out of wheat cornmeal and oats. Though it was pretty much nothing like the granola we know today, as it had no sugar or fat added. Nonetheless, Kellogg's granola was so popular as a purportedly purifying, cure all health food, that he was selling two tons a week by 1889. Because oats have to be soaked and then cooked. Kellogg needed to develop something faster and easier to serve at a sanatorium. His brother will Keith Kellogg helped him experiment with granola, and they developed a process to make crispy wheat flakes. The first, flaky cereal. Four years later, they were selling toasted corn flakes, and cold cereal was born. Oil Keith wanted to add sugar to the cereal, something his brother strongly disagreed with. So will Keith left and started the company that would eventually become the Kellogg company. The success of breakfast cereals in the U.S. is much more than a story of health food though. It's another example of the power of marketing. Forest said, doctor Kellogg promoted his corn flakes as healthy, and spread his gospel through cookbooks, public lectures, teaching kitchens and marketing pamphlets. In terms of the media, breakfast and breakfast foods have long appeared in art and literature, and this can include advertisements that appear in magazines and on television. Children in particular have been targeted by marketing, through cross promotional advertising, and as early as 1909, offered prizes tied to cereal boxes. By the time the 21st century dawned, cold cereal accounted for 35% of breakfasts in America. By 2018, the business was worth billions. Americans alone ate $8.5 billion worth of cold cereal that year. Meanwhile, you can credit political resistance for America's coffee obsession. Coffee is originally from what's now Ethiopia, and no one is sure exactly when someone first brewed and drank the stuff. Legend has it that a goat herd notices goats were extra perky after eating some particular berries. And he decided to give it a try. English colonists in North America preferred tea, but after England began to heavily tax tea and the colonists responded with the Boston Tea Party, drinking coffee became patriotic. Some also believed the coffee was medicinal. Later, during the Civil War, soldiers on both sides wanted coffee to keep them going. But confederate soldiers often couldn't get it and made substitutes out of dandelion roots or toasted oak receipts. Today, coffee is one of the most popular drinks in the United States. The 2019 annual report from the national coffee association found 63% of Americans drink the stuff every single day. But let's talk about orange juice. Until the mid 19th century, aside from tea, the breakfast drink of champions was hard cider or beer. Both very low in alcohol. Hardly anyone drank orange juice or 8 oranges at all, because they were expensive and hard to get. But several things happened to make OJ a popular breakfast drink in the early 20th century. First, railroads helped growers expand. Second, in the late 1920s, a scientist isolated vitamin C and identified oranges as a great source of the vitamin. Then, in 1942, the U.S. Army offered tons of money to whatever company could figure out how to produce frozen orange juice that actually tasted good. Enter Richard Morse. He became the first to commercially produce frozen orange juice concentrate. His brand, minute maid, became a huge success, and made orange juice and attainable morning must have. Even though OJ remains popular, it's not what east to be. Today, Americans are drinking about three gallons that's 11 liters, less per person per year than we were in the year 2000. Mainly because people are concerned.

A She became the veterans, the women Veterans Program manager in 2019. She's a per sector for a nurse practitioner students as well as a mentor for women's. Wellness colleagues. Welcome to the show. Heather. Thank you. Thank you so much for joining us today. And so we've been talking about women's health. And, um, I I know most people know about primary care services, and and maybe they don't and I If they're a woman veteran, they can definitely reach out to ask you. But I wanted you to be able to maybe walk through some of the other services that are available. Besides, kind of like the main primary primary care services, Okay, so I mean, obviously we do have the name primary care services and one of the things that we have. Been striving to do more recently than not is make sure that our women veterans are assigned to a women's health pack team, meaning they can get all of their care on their pack team with their provider and their nurses that they know So that they don't have to go to a women's clinic at the V A to have their annual visit completed. They can have that done on their pack team, so we've been reaching out to our women veterans in our catchment areas. Sending them letters and asking them to respond, You know, Would you like to have a women's Health Pack team where you can get comprehensive care on that team? That team has been trained to be able to do comprehensive care and do their annual women's wellness desert doubled as well. Um, but if you don't want to change and you still need to have your women's healthcare we do have The women's health clinic. We have clinics in Battle Creek, Wyoming that are specific for women's health, meaning as you are on a packed team that has a male provider, writing or female provider that doesn't provide that health care. You can come to one of our clinics. I do clinic every other Friday and then another. One of my colleagues pulls in on Fridays that I'm not in clinic and we do those annual women's wellness visit, putting Pap smears and Publix answering questions regarding birth control. And anything that you have. Questions about as far as that goes, um in Wyoming. We do have a provider General Hman. She also happens to be our women's medical director. Um, she provides a clinic in Wyoming, and she sees women veterans on Tuesdays. And then also in Miami. We have another doctor, Dr Olson, who provides a women's health clinic one Wednesday, a month and then we recently just hired Dr Dawn who already was with the D A and Battle Creek, but He has now signed on to be what we call a point to providers. So he'll be either NY filming or Battle Creek one day a week from here on out so that he is there so we can do the different things that we maybe we're able to do before, including endometrium biopsies. Um, cervical biopsies we can discuss Any kind of birth control. We can do I e. D s and Next Conan's, Um we can talk about the beginning of fertility and sometimes depending on what you know the answers are and what specific circumstances are. He will start on an infertility journey with you as well. So we have some things that are opening up this fire specialty. That's great news. And, you know, I think it's important to that. Um, those women veterans understand that you're there as a resource. And and I guess my question would be then, um, with all those great sort resources and you working to to set up those Those packs for women veterans. What? What? When would someone have a need possibly to have to call you? They can call me whenever they need to. It doesn't matter. I'm absolutely here all the time to answer whatever question, Um, that needs to come up. I mean, it depends. I've had people call me. Um, that said, Hey, I remembered your name and I'm pregnant. Now, what do I do? So instead of been saying, Hey, I'm going to send you to your team to answer that. No, I'm going to take care of it. I'm going to put in your consult for community care so that we can get your Obi started your care started and moving in that direction. There's no need for me to bounce it to somebody else to take care of. But we do have a whole team of people that are able to help and it's not just me, but they can call me and I will get them where they need to go to get those those questions answered. Now is the Via providing maternity services in house or is it outsourced? Provided by the V A? Yeah. So we what we call it community care because we outsource. We don't deliver babies at the V. A. Um so we outsource all of it. So any female veteran that is in any of our 22 catchment areas. If they are pregnant, and they need maternity care, they would come to us. We would put a consult in and then we would find an O b g Y n So usually our veterans will come to us and say, You know, I have heard a lot about Dr So and so and I want to go to this person from my O B care, and we would reach out to that doctor and see if they participate with optimum and get that veteran on the road to having their maternity care so that they have character, their pregnancy. And so if a veteran, you know, female veteran wants to have a tuba ligation or have our tubes tied, then she can get assistance through you as well or through the V. A. Absolutely. So we have a couple of different things, one of the other things that it's kind of nice, and I don't think people realize this but you trade via, although it may be far away, one of the things I think veterans need to understand as well is Community care is there and, yes, it's great because you can maybe be a half an hour away from that doctor, but at the same time, sometimes with Pope it and let everything that's going on. We've seen very long, wait times, 34 months, wait times before you're able to get in. One of the nice things about Detroit. The exact format Catherine back to Chara goal have been getting most of my, um female veterans in within 30 days, so they're doing tools they can do hysterectomies. Um, just all kinds of different things that we need. They're able to do as well. Well, that's great. Great news. You know, one of the other things I saw that you could potentially assist with is I remember, you know when I was, uh, needing home assistance, uh, you know, after you know, with being in my wheelchair and a lot of different things, and it was really hard to come by, and I didn't. I didn't have access to the veterans program manager. And so can you talk a little bit about, uh, just some of those resources. So sure. So we have resources through several different, um, areas in the V A. And if somebody does need home care, we do go through their primary care provider or I can help them reach out or call their primary for them. But get them to that area where they can get in home services. If somebody needs help, because they've just been out of the hospital, and maybe they need You know, assistance once a month, maybe with medication setups. We have home based primary care that could come into the house. If there's a need more than that, like you're having Ivy need Ivy Biotics new we can put in a community care council to To have an outside nursing agency. Come in and set up your ivy so that you're getting your ides as you need. So there are different resources that way as well that we provide through the V A Well, I I appreciate that. And I love that. Um, the VOC medical centers available to answer questions or concerns 24 hours a day, seven days a week so far and enrolled V a patients, And so if you're not enrolled, you want to give us a call?.

Thank you, sir. Thank you for taking my call. Just an observation. In a comment on unity and who the real unifier czar Garth Brooks said that you know, he's saying at the inauguration that he thing for unity. And so far, I haven't seen any calls to boycott him. Or to cancel him much like you would if it was gonna be a trump inauguration, your thoughts What? What? What You asking me? Where is the anger at Garth Brooks for participating in this? Well, I defect is I don't think you will see it like you would have seen out of the left. Had this been a trump inauguration? Well, it's early. It's early, and we're who we talking about the people. You may not even know yet that Garth Brooks performed and they may not know who he is after they hear that he didn't perform. Mm hmm. But I think even even if there's if there's a move on Garth Brooks, the media won't cover it. That's the thing that you have to understand about this. The media is not going to be in any way similar to the way they covered new is when Trump was the Was the president. So Garth Brooks going to end up being praised. He's gonna get great great accolades for crossing over for leaving the deplorables for telling the deplorables that he wants no part of them. Now he's gonna be a big hero today, if anything else Yeah, I just love how the cancel called her only seems to work one way And of course it does. I mean, there is no canceled culture of the left. It doesn't exist. Unless somebody on the left engages in what we would consider traitorous. Behavior, but Garth Brooks we not being a traitor. He's a hero.

Welcome DR Bloom. Thank you, Director Adams. It's great to be with you and your listeners today. Yeah, And what an impressive resume. So you know, you've been a clinical psychologist for decades. Can you just tell us a little bit more broadly about the work you and your team do at the battle Previa. Journey. So, uh, Battle Creek to is actually, uh, has differentiated from some of the other Bs were classified as a neural psychiatric hospital. And so we have Very broad array of mental health services at our Battle Creek campus and are smaller clinics in Lansing, Muskegon Benton Harbor and a large clinic and in Wyoming or Grand Rapids. So we have the full range of services from you know, when somebody really needs a lot of intensive help. We have inpatient psychiatric units. We have Special residential mental health units where veterans come voluntarily for a stay tow work on PTSD or substance abuse or other psycho social issues. On Ben. We have general mental health out patient. We have Almost services. And we have mental health integrated and right in their primary care visits so whole broad array of mental health services. What? It seems that you have a lot and you know, I think I learned some things today that I didn't know that you offered. So I guess then what do you see as the biggest Eric barrier for veterans actually accessing those mental health services? Well, I think that you know, knowledge and awareness is the first step and to know that there is a variety of help available, I think Certainly was, you know covert restrictions Lately, People are more isolated, more cut off from things and that certainly has been impacting people's mental health but also You know how much they're they're getting out and about and and so just to know that a lot of mental health care now has been adapted to video and telephone. Esso were able to reach veterans wherever they're at Remember Health services. Yeah, I think that's great. I mean, I I utilize, you know, Doctor's office visits. All of those types of things are when I'm able to utilize that which is great. I mean, basically says that you are meeting us where we are at the time that we are so Definitely appreciate that you mentioned Cove it and one of the things that we're talking about. Today on the show is about mental health and wellness and us making sure that we're doing things for self care. And so I would ask just in this environment that we've been in, you see shift in everything that you're doing with the virtual shift and some other maybe components of mental health. What kind of advice or things would you tell a veteran to maybe help practice better self care during this crazy climate that we've been seeing? Well, I was sir base, trying to help the veterans. Be aware that there are new ways to stay connected with people and to receive emotional support and For their mental health care. Um No. One tool that really is kind of taking off and it's helpful is there's a lot of mental health apse of for better, instead, access on their smartphones and Things that help was sleep or family issues or substance abuse, or PTSD. That Kind of Ah, coach them and And so those those are free. And if you go to www dot PTSD that V A that goes. That's www dot PTSD that ba dot go. There's a whole lot of names of APS that you can then download from the APP store that really are helpful. Um, Secondly, I would say that one thing we've developed to help with Kobe early on and covert it at Battle Creek to is what we call a Battle Creek via virtual university. Those are variety of different groups that people can call into our video into zoom type groups that Range from Kind of just the daily check in kind of general support groups to things that are more spoke focused on, you know, substance abuse, recovery or stress management or Housing peer support.

Political Ad Nauseam
"As much as campaigns want to keep spending secret federal law actually requires TV stations around the country to disclose all the political ads, the campaigns by and those TV ads account for something in the ballpark of sixty percent of campaign ads. Spending a lot of the rest is stuff like Google and facebook ads at those companies actually don't have to disclose as much information about the ads. So today we're going to focus on. TV. Spending the majority of the spending. So think of the United States as a giant game board to campaigns walk around the board they put some of their ad money down this part. Of the country a little bit more over here, and the way they put that money down tells us what places they think are most important for winning the election. If you're looking just at the state level, the bronze medal goes to Wisconsin Sixty, four, million dollars, worth of TV ads they're not surprising. Wisconsin was one of those states that trump flipped from the democratic column back in Two Thousand Sixteen Silver Medal Pennsylvania with one hundred, seven, million dollars worth of TV ads also not surprising Purple State with twenty electoral votes and in first place with one. Hundred thirty, three, million dollars America's favorite election meltdown waiting. Oh Florida, my beloved Florida. Now, this is just are beginning calculation. We're going to dig in more, but there are lessons to learn just looking at the big picture the big campaign game board. Yes. So so take Florida this is not a monolithic place. You're going to have super republican areas like the panhandle and then big democratic areas around places like Miami and you might imagine that the most. Cost effective thing is for the Republicans to completely pull out of the democratic strongholds and vice versa. But in fact, neither political party is doing that the whole state is getting bombarded with ads from both sides Daniel. Butterfield. From the Super PAC PRIORITIES USA she says it can start to turn into something like an arms race. So when you see your opponent spending money in a market, it really raises The question of should I be spending money there to to keep up area competitive and if you want to understand why political spending just keeps going up, it's at least partly because of his arms race if your opponents bins more in, Tampa you have to spend more in Tampa which in turn makes the cost of ads in. Tampa that much more expensive. Next thing you know you blue one. Hundred thirty, three, million dollars in Florida. Danielle says, the arms race thing is not just irrational fear. There's a real electoral cost to waving the white flag in a particular area. If you're in an ad market and your opponent clears out, that is great news for you. You have the airwaves to yourself. Your advertising goes a lot further in terms of impact than if you have to opponents that are. Driving opposite messages is there like a particular tipping point to that that sort of campaign folks like you gotTa. Spend the twenty percent otherwise. Like what counts as as not being drowned out. Good? Yeah. There is actually a lot of areas some data behind like what is the particular percentage that is required? It's I'd say that's probably more of a secret sauce that I wouldn't necessarily WanNa name on this podcast for you know that numbers, you're just tell me. I I. Know. Roughly what percentage I think is useful is, is it twenty three percent? You got it. But okay. So fine lots of money being spent in Florida but this is not a very specific answer to our question who is the most expensive voter we want to be more granular, which is why we got her hands on a more precise data set. Thank you advertising analytics. This data set is GonNa let zoom in on every single television market in the entire country. So for example, we know that forty million dollars has been spent in the Orlando Daytona. Beach Melbourne market. Compare that to the grand rapids, Kalamazoo Battle Creek Michigan market where it's twelve million dollars and sure there's more people in Orlando but still, how are the campaigns arriving at exactly forty million and exactly twelve million to help answer that we brought in some help Michael Beach. CEO. Crushing Media Michael Runs an advertising analytics company now, but he has worked in the past for the presidential campaigns of George W Bush John McCain Mitt Romney, and the reason we wanted to talk to Michael is his whole job. is to figure out where companies or sometimes political campaigns should place millions of dollars. Worth of ads Michael has all this fancy proprietary software. If you're an advertiser, he can tell you whether you should be focusing your ads on like Republicans, with Minivans are Democrats ride motorcycles or neither. He's got all these different attributes in his computer thousands of attributes for. Anything from certain partisanship to likelihood to buy a Ford truck into those do those specific categories correlate. Yes and no it like it's pretty geographic if you're looking at northeast, Ohio or you're you know. You're in Alabama in the Senate race. that. Wouldn't be a probably a good signal. Reich is like. As owner everyone drive structure. Now, the reason we went to Michael is because we thought it might be interesting to look at how many dollars were being spent on any given swing voter swing voters in theory are people who might be influenced by a political ad. The problem is it is very hard to pin down exactly how many of these people are out there but Michael Software can at least take a stab at it what is GonNa do is go through all these data sets to first identify how many likely voters there are in a particular TV market and then identify which of those has even the tiniest probability of changing their vote and a lot of this calculation is just sifting out the diehards. If you are somebody who voted in the last five, Democratic primaries were every year you donate to the R. N. C. You are out. But maybe your party affiliation switched a couple of times. Maybe you're a first time voter that may put you in this bucket the basically using generic party model and generic it's party not not candidate. Driven in other words, we're estimating voters chances to swing between Democrat and Republican as opposed to trump and biden specifically. But there's still does give us a way to compare across TV markets and when you re ranked the country based on dollars spent per swing voter the markets are not in Florida. In fact, the top five ad markets are all in Pennsylvania and number one on that list where campaigns are spending around ninety dollars per likely swing voter. Is My home television market the region in western Pennsylvania in and around Erie Pennsylvania. Okay. So Kenny you grew up there like what is it? What is the what are we talking about just to be clear I grew up in Meadville which is south of Erie, but it's in the market and like yeah, this is a region with a lot of manufacturing jobs these jobs have been leaving. It's predominantly white its having the. Same kind of brain drain problem that a lot of the other parts of the so-called rust belt are having. But look like I don't know anything about who a potential swing voter would be in the Erie television market. This is why we have Michael's fancy software. It can help us understand who that is. What can we know about the Eerie Market area? How does it compare to the rest of the country? Like who's there? It opened up my magic machine here. Michael Punches Eerie plugs in a few numbers so it's running. Then he opens up a tab that lets us compare the Erie population as a whole to just the likely swing voters. So now I look at in. Eerie. For instance, the average adult is fifty three years old if you just take the whole population in the market. Target, audience if you said. swing likely to turn out is forty seven other words. Michael's machine is telling us that the average swing voter is is six years younger than the average, their forty, seven years old, and the other incredible thing about Michael's machine is that it's also able to spit out this whole media plan for how to reach those people. The machine can name the single TV show watched by the most swing voters. Each week that show in the Eerie area is the OT on Fox football shows or wrap up of the day's games. That'd be fair. that is one of the most watched shows in the entire country. But the numbers do show that in terms of efficiency like sports would be a pretty good way to get your ad in front of a decent chunk of swing voters in Erie Pennsylvania Espn you can reach sixty percent on eerie and a week. Again, this target in this market if the secret to understanding what the campaigns are thinking is to learn where the most money is being spent per swing voter. That place

She's been looking for a reason to wink this particularly sweet store on her for some time. Now the grocer dressed in a white shirt and suspenders notices the woman the moment she enters good afternoon ms coleman. What may i get you. This fine day like she's for hearst miss.

Coleman appraises ten cents same as cornflakes moments later this coleman leaves with her free box of cornflakes and the rice flakes and an excuse is to talk to the handsome grocer again but what she doesn't realize is that those rice flakes the same kellogg who makes cornflakes they're made by his brother dr john harvey kellogg and the confusion john's created with his branding is driving his younger brother nuts will thought his battles with john were over but now his brother's stealing his customers and will won't stand for it. He's no longer the downtrodden little brother subservient servian to john's every cruelty today. He's a successful industrialist with money and resources of zone dr john harvey kellogg. No longer has an underling underling to prop himself up. He's about to be shown up by the least likely person imaginable someone. He spent his whole life calling worthless from wonder this is american innovations and i'm steven johnson on the last episode. The kellogg brothers discovered the secret making flaked breakfast cereal. The masses had only just been introduced to ready to eat cereal created by their very own former battle creek sanitarium patient charles post.

A straw hat shielding his bald scalp from the summer heat. The look on his face is far from sunny.

The latest batch of acrimony began last year. You're will started it when he gave his battle creek toasted cornflake company a new name the kellogg toasted cornflake company will new john john would object to the name and that he would try to use his position on the company's board to obstruct the change so we'll get the board to approve the new name while john was away in europe by the time. John got back to battle creek. It was too late. John brooded over his brother's sneaky move for a a few months and then began executing his retaliation. Just before new year's day nineteen hundred eight he resigned from the board of wills company it told will he wanted to spend more time. Focusing on the status nut food company the food business he'd formed in eighteen ninety eight is an offshoot of the sanitarium and the first thing he did was renamed his food business kellogg's food company of battle creek. The name was designed to inflate his is products with his brothers and it did now. Wholesalers roasters and customers alike struggled to differentiate between the two kellogg companies anthony's even the post office getting their mail mixed up once john begins manufacturing rice and wheat flakes. He makes his packaging indistinguishable bowl from his brother's cornflakes. The brothers have now both threatened the other with lawsuits. Their lawyers are poised for action just waiting for the word as he makes his way through downtown battle creek. We'll consider his options. He knows an ugly court battle hurt the company's brand.

She's a stern woman with grey curly hair. The moment she sees will her face darkens. Oh it's you low. Ella pleasure as always is john here. L. turns her back to will and yells else. John will is at the door as they wait for john will in l. a. eyeball each other on the doorstep in frosty silence they no longer pretend not to hate each other eventually. John appears in the doorway or do you want. I want to reach an accommodation. This dispute has gone far enough l. A. snaps at will yes it has it's about time you stopped using john's good name to enrich yourself wills composure snaps me me. He's the one riding on my coattails. He never cared about the cereal business until he saw my success now. He wants it from self because he cannot stand anyone anyone but him getting the glory how dare you we both know that i am the real kellogg. They buy your cereal because they think i'm the one selling it. Your success is a parasite parasite on mine will looks down and steadies himself against the bile of his hatred. He reminds himself why he's here and forces out a reasonable tone own john. What you're doing will ruin both our companies. If this ends up in court it will embarrass us. Both l. sets off so do what john says. John cuts across his wife ellen. Please but will speak. Thank you let me clear brother. I will go to court if i must. I just hope and pray that there's a better way to resolve this after our negotiating on the doorstep john and will reach an agreement john will stop selling cereals under the kellogg nick in return will will pay john fifty thousand dollars plus additional stock in the cornflakes business. It's the two brothers shake hands but the truce lasts less than a month a few weeks later. John has a change of heart and hostilities resume for the next two years. The animosity subterfuge and retaliation escalates as does the success of their cereal companies under will's autocratic leadership kellogg toasted cornflakes company thrives nineteen ten. He's selling millions of boxes axes of flaked breakfast cereal every year john's enjoying more modest success with his newest product sterilized brand. It's a serial made from the fiber. Rich outer layer of wheat grain john's promoting it as a constipation remedy. It's a powerful selling point in one thousand nine. John sells around a hundred thousand boxes of sterilized brand. The sales of sterilized brand aren't much of a threat to will cereal empire but john's copycat packaging coaching is unlike will john refuses to add salt sugar and other flavorings to his breakfast cereals that worries
