"But Singapore Malaysia, I didn't know this. I was going to ask you when you mentioned this on the last show. I said do they know anything about the New York mob in these countries? Okay, here's a deal. I just finished it was a paid ticketed event rather in Singapore, right? Maybe 2,000 people in the audience my host that brought me in they said Mike we promised a Q &A afterwards but you know Singaporeans don't ask questions. They're very reserved. And so I said hey great. We'll go home early. I go out there. We were there two and a half hours with questions. Where's Jimmy Hoffa buried questions about being a poor they're asking about Gotti. Yes, you know, I'm not in Singapore, but I would like to know where's Junior Gotti. He just got in trouble. You sure you don't need to talk about this stuff now because we're gonna but I do want to mention fascinated. I do want to mention this. I know the Gotti family very well and you know, his wife Victoria and the girls and you know, we're staying in touch and they're great people. Well, wait a minute, you know, you mean Junior's sister Victoria, right and and John's wife his wife is also named Victoria. Yeah, everybody's named Victoria and they're great people. Okay, so, you know these people. Oh, yeah. Yeah, see this is the other thing too. Is that when you think about I mean, I think a lot of times when people think about coming to God, they don't think there's certain people that it just doesn't enter that universe right when you think for example, the people that have Ministries to prostitutes to people in the porn industry and you forget that those people they're just like everybody else. They're lost. They need God, but we tend to we tend not to think about people in the mob life as you know, you know them so to you that these are just people. These are just sinners. These are just people struggling to get through life and choosing the wrong path just like you did just like I did in a different way. So many people were just doing the best we can so to think that those people are hungry for the same thing that anybody is hungry for they are you know, and particularly the women I was I'll be honest with you. I was personally offended by the show Mob Wives and the reason for that Eric is because to depict the women in that life so unfairly and so on truthfully. I mean, it was just an absolute sham. Yeah, I mean the women in that life look, you know, they fall in love with a guy. It doesn't mean that they they agree with their lifestyle, you know, my wife never agreed with my lifestyle. She fell in love with me. She was against it from day one, but you know, she supported me in that life and eventually led me out of it, you know, and and these women are decent women, you know, they really are and they take care of the kids and you know, they take care of the family and sometimes they get a really bad rap and that that show is terrible in that regard and I spoke to you know, grow Bono's daughter and I said, you know, why did you do something like this? Because we were on a show together, right? Well, you know, I got to make money and all that kind of stuff but it was personally offending to see that because they are people a lot of them, you know, a lot of them. I mean, you know what I mean? You know what I mean? I'm sorry about that, but you know, I just know I should say they're nice people. They're great people. Well, listen, you know, and I know that that God takes the things of this world and and he can glorify himself, you know, the ugliest story God can use it for his glory, you know, and so when you think about the fascination with the mob life, it's just like fascination with celebrities and sports figures that when somebody like that turns a life over to God people are interested because they say I followed that person. I know that where I want to know what you know, if this could happen to them, maybe it's not so crazy. Maybe this is something that I can I can be open to and that's that's part of I think the problem with the culture is that people sort of act like that God stuffs for everybody else. But when somebody like you tell your story, I you know, it gets people's attention because there's a such a fascination with with the mob culture. I mean the movies that have been made by the way, it doesn't hurt that the movies made about the mob have been some of the greatest movies made in the history of Cinema. The Godfather 1, Godfather 2. Those are two of the best movies in the history of the movies. I would add Raging Bull and Goodfellas off the charts. Casino I despised. Did you? Yes. Can I tell you why? Did you see in the theater on TV? I saw it on in the theater and 20 times on TV. Well, you live this life. So you're different for me. I'm squeamish. I'm not when I see violence. It makes me angry because it's just it's and when I thought in Casino I ended up actually writing a piece really tearing Scorsese apart because I love Scorsese as a filmmaker, but I think he stepped over line where he glorified violence and I was in these movies. He was always on the edge of glorifying this life and in Casino, I thought he crossed over the line. But the point is that these genius filmmakers Scorsese Coppola most prominently they made some of the greatest movies ever made about this culture. I mean, you know you and I probably have you know, the Godfather and Godfather 2 half memorized because it's that good. It was brilliant. Listen, I remember when Godfather first came out it even changed to a degree the mob culture because guys started to walk around differently. They were looked upon differently because it did raise the status of our life in people's minds. It really did. I remember distinctly. Yeah, and I remember, you know, Joe Colombo sitting down with some of the people involved, you know, Jimmy Khan was was a strong friend of ours. So is Lenny Montana who played Luca Brazzi was a good friend of mine Luca Brazzi the guy who played Luca Brazzi was a good friend of yours Lenny Montana was his name and I would knew him for many years. He was California guy actually lived out there, but we were very close until he died. When did he die several years ago? Yeah long time ago, but that's one of the great performances of all time. It was great and you know in that movie that Joe Colombo had an influence the original script had the word Mafia all over it and Joey made sure that that was cut out. He didn't want any reference to that. Yeah, is that because he didn't want because the because the term is not used in no because if you remember the whole Joe Colombo deal he denied the existence of the Mafia when he had the Italian American Civil Rights League and this movie was coming out somewhere at the same time. I was about eight years old. I don't remember these details. You're you are about I think your wife's my age. So you're about probably 12 years older than I am, but you look you look very good whatever they're doing. You look you look pretty you look very young for your age wife kids and God good for you. Good for you. Well, I I mean, we're just talking about the fascination with with mob culture and I do think in fact literally yesterday. I read an interview with Francis Ford Coppola. He wrote he just came out with like a coffee table book about the making of the Godfather.

Long beard has outgrown his own Guinness World Records titles like Steph Curry every time he hits a three, it's a new record. Wow. With a beard now measuring. 8 feet three inches long. It drags and must drag. He's got to keep it backed up around his neck somehow, right? Yeah. Well it's a chin strap. One feet, what if he goes? He looks at the guy's ZZ tops and goes, big pussies. What if he goes to LongHorn where they have peanuts on the shelves on the floor? It drags. They call him the broom. Why would anyone do something this dumb? Sarwan sing has earned the record title for the longest beard on a living person. Wait a minute. Male. Okay. So with that, the a, there's a record for a dead person and B there's a women's record for this. I've heard a dispute about we all heard that when you die, your hair keeps growing for a while. Well, evidently, your skin actually shrinks is what makes it look like when you cause the moisture. Nails. Yeah. Isn't that something? That's charming. Could we move on? Ghoulish? Why is this guy growing the weird beard? I don't know, Tom. He is first. He first had his beard measured in 2008 when it was 7 feet 8 inches long. Jeez took him 15 years ago another foot. Good lord. It was measured again in 2010. Then he had 8 feet, two and a half feet. None of this makes sense. But right now it's 8 feet three inches long. He must be trimming somehow. Here's a picture of him standing up, and he says, though, he's never trimmed his beard. It reaches the floor. Wow. Man. Longest beard in the wild. Let's see. Isn't it possible that the beard and keeping that alive is an organism in your body? Wouldn't that make you sick or something? Or you've got a beard. I know. I know there are vitamin vitamins to make your nails grow and stuff like that. And for your hair, it's an unusual look. That's for sure. Do you find that attractive Christian? No, no, you know I don't. Yeah, so we'll go to luck to you, sir. My beard's not dead. It's very alive. Is it? I talked to my beard every night. But again, this is the record for a male. This guy's cool looking. He's got his the beard is, I think, is awesome. He's got a turban and he's got like a really nice suit. You know what I mean? Like those. Oh yeah. Not really, I don't know what to do. A traditional sort of yes. A traditional immediately, please share your wisdom. You just want to talk to him. I think you could probably find the history of the soup. He's eaten. And it's cool because you can see it. It's great over the years. Yes. So he has a picture of it, not gray, and now he does it. He looks very well kept. It's nothing like I thought. He is pretty handsome, actually. Right, right. His beard comes down in a very much tapered into a very wispy at the end. He holds it? He wisps. You wouldn't let let's have this guy. Would you have him in or would it drive you crazy? That'd be fine. Some weirdo that doesn't cut his beard. I don't care. Weirdo. How long is puke? Be honest. How about a really long fingernails? That bug you, right? That creeps me out. Yeah, that is weird. Very unfortunate fashion trial. Because the one question you have when the people do.

Welcome back to another episode of open floor filling in for your host, Michael DuPont. I'm Rohan not gonna join today by a very special guest, he's a, I guess you could say he's a both a former and current Sports Illustrated senior writer. I guess I could have asked him for a title before that that felt like too much work for me to do. He's a professor, just truly one of my all time favorite colleagues, one of the, I think, best basketball writers of all time, Chris Ballard, making his own floor debut, Chris, how's it going? Oh, it's exciting to be here. Thanks. Thanks for having me on. Okay, see already two formal, already two formal. You don't need to pretend that you're excited, you know, just be you. That's it. That's all we're asking. Chris, I think it's still our most recent Sports Illustrated cover. The story, a story that's swept the nation. I think it's fair to say chosen sons has cover story on LeBron James and his dreams to play in the NBA with his sons. Bryce and brawny were gonna dive deep into that today, get some behind the scenes stuff from Chris. I also want to talk to you about some of his past stories. Obviously we're at still a little bit of a slow point in the NBA off season here, so that'll be fun. To talk to Chris about some of the great stories he's written throughout the course of his career, before we get into that, we still aim to do a big mailbag episode soon, so keep your emails coming, open floor mail at Gmail dot com. Chris, I don't know where we even want to begin with this. This story was huge. I was like, you know, every basketball podcast I listened to every basketball video I saw they were talking about this story. I'm sure that had to be pretty exciting for you. Can you tell me when you first, you know, when did you first get the idea? I'm gonna pitch LeBron and his people on doing the story on him and his sons. Say roughly February or so. After he made the comments about playing with brawny in the MBA, I've got teenage kids myself and so I think it's sort of natural as you get older as a writer to write about the things that seem closest to you. So the first second LeBron cover story I did was all about his physique and how he was becoming so exceptional as a player.

"And so what is this challenging elections Electors and The first real election in this country was 1800 That was really the first real election And as Smithsonian magazine put it so long ago but made it such a protracted affair was that state legislatures were elected throughout the year As these assemblies more often than not chose presidential electors you see what I'm saying The assemblies chose presidential electors The state contest to determine them became part of the national campaign In 1800 the greatest surprise among these contests occurred in New York A large crucial state that had given all 12 of its electoral votes to Adams in 1796 Allowing him to eke out a three vote victory over Jefferson The battle for supremacy in the New York legislature to hinged on the outcome in New York City Thanks largely to lopsided winds and working class wards where many voters own no property the Republicans secured all 24 of New York's electoral votes for Jefferson and Aaron Burr For Abigail Adams John's wife that was enough to seal Adam's fate John Dawson a Republican congressman from Virginia declared the republic is safe the Federalist Party are enraged and despair But Adams himself refused to give up hope

"Clean. An Oprah said in a statement, quote, I empathize with the women now coming forward, and I hope, justice is served. Lead investigator Paul miotti issued search warrants for the medium's various properties. Even though he was already in jail, the properties shown in the Netflix documentary were untidy spaces. It was clear John of God was a hoarder, and was very fond of his earthly possessions. As police swarmed his various compounds, they weren't necessarily surprised with what they found. One investigator said they uncovered false bottoms in nearly every drawer of his homes. And a hidden panic room only accessible by someone forcing an elevator to go down. Though it only displayed buttons for the floors above. That's so creepy. In the basement of one of the rooms, down a set of rickety stairs through a trapdoor in the floor, was a safe. After forcing an open with a circular saw, police uncovered gobs of money. 6 illegally owned guns. One with a serial number sawed off, and nearly 100 pieces of jewelry made of precious stones, presumably from the mines he owned. In total, about 50 million wrists, which when I did the math is the equivalent today of more than $8.7 million. Holy shit. I should also mention at this point that John's wife Anna wrist being indicted as an accomplice in the crimes of illegal gun ownership and money laundering. Though in all of my research, I can't find any evidence that she served any time in jail. But let's just stop for a second. He had a wife during all of this? 600 plus alleged sexual assaults, sinister trafficking claims. I mean, ma'am, come on. It's a hard pill to swallow to think that you knew nothing. Anna? What did you know?.

"So we don't know how to deal with it. Yeah, it is you're right there about it being like the purest feelings because I don't know. It's like I think about times where I have been in deep grief and there are tiny moments where I kind of enjoy it a little bit, you know? You're just like destroyed and then there's usually a moment where I go, wow, I like it is true that my mother has died, and I'm very sad, but it's also true that I'm very much enjoying that nobody can tell me anything right now. I know exactly what you mean. For once in your life, everything's clear. I was like, there's nothing. You're like, this is my excuse right now and there's nothing like you can just feel all your feelings in a way that I find, I am not able to feel all my feelings any other moment. And so, you know, but then also, you know, then you admit that on a podcast, you're like, wow, I am an asshole. And then it's fine. You know what I mean? I'm like, we're all a disaster and we're fine, but I do. Yeah, I genuinely enjoy talking to other people who experience other forms of grief because you realize that the grief takes on different texture for everyone. Sure. But sometimes some of these feelings are the same and that makes me feel like okay, that human connection still exists. We'll be okay. You know, Angela, John's, I've talked to say the word widow about her. It's such a funny word, John's love, John's wife, John's partner. I just went to see her the other day. And she was just saying how she spent a lot of the last year alone and that it had to be that way. You know, it's just how she needed it to be. To deal with her grief. And everyone's different.

But then than the you know the aftermath of that was was just again a little bit of chaos because obviously the dawson It was just a matter of now. We couldn't just go running randomly anywhere. We had to wait and figure out. Okay where are we most need it. You know where is because our needs very similar to military. We go with a life the danger to life. I first and foremost so now. There was such a massive fields of life danger. It was just a matter of command saying okay. We need fifty guys here. We need fifty guys there. We need you know it was so it was a little frustrating. Took a little while to get assignment. We just wanted to be in there helping trip up your flow. You're cute in semi said earlier. Not where you were but were some of your friends. Rhett in your best friend. We were they not in the world trade center when it collapsed but they were still killed as a result is that is that what you said were they well in charge eight hundred us. It's hard for us to really determined because the way everything ended up in the aftermath. Which just you know. A hundred and ten stories were now attend story pile of destruction wreckage. So we believe that some guys were common in the marriott. Hotel down on the west side would would connect into the trade center complex so there was also people trapped in the marriott. There was plane wreckage. That was in before the buildings collapsed. There was multiple sections of marriott that were destroyed by plane debris coming down so guys were being deployed all over the trade center complex for for rescue and recovery. So it's really hard to say like we never really i myself anyway was never told exactly their assignment and exact pinpoint location but it. It seems to be that my friend. John you know where he was found was in that percentet`y and unfortunately dennis junior was never found was never identified. They found their trucks Half half the souls that were there that have never been identified. The day there was a belief two hundred ninety three human beings intact that were able to be found and taken out and john.

"I think the supplies where the left always knew if they were able to indict our founding than the country can unravel this. Why ruin so interested in ancestry ancestry dot com right there so we wanna know who came before us. It's there's a yearning in your soul. The bible speaks to this too. I mean luke and matthew. If i'm not mistaken. Both open up the genealogy correct leader joseph for mary or through joseph and the genealogy of such and the bible's very clear about passing customs down from one generation to the other. There's a yearning in your soul for that so then you have the sixteen year old citizen. Who's looking around and looking at hope. They don't even have the flag anymore in the classrooms writing that down. Let's pretend there's a flag around. They say. I wonder what that means to me. And the left has always known if they can make that flag. Be something other than something virtuous or admirable. They've won the entire debate in one thousand. Nine hundred as reagan was was very clear about bringing back. This idea of kind of the magnanimous conservative. But the unapologetically patriotic conservative. I hate to. I hate to be critical of reagan. Because he was so phenomenal but there were some things that were questionable with immigration and many other things but just broadly in the eighties bob and early nineties. Do you think that we didn't take the government education problems serious enough hundred percent. Why is alzheimer's such a horrible disease. Because a person doesn't know who they are and so they don't remember their past if you can't remember your past that you don't know who you are therefore you don't know where you're going and if if your wife is dying of cancer you can speak to her and make pledges and hold her hand and she goes into eternity. It's as sad as can be but when a person is there and they don't know you are and they don't know who they are. It's a tragic tragic. Now what has been a deliberate attempt to take this four percent of the population of the world. The as long as there is an american on the planet. They know that. That's the place that i can go to escape if a ship is attacked on the high seas as there's an american they'll come save me if somebody's cheating on a patent that american will protect us if somebody's printing artificial money in the money supply any place on the plant. American banking will shut it down. America is the standard for righteousness. Just take away. What america is then we can go. We can give it alzheimer's so how do we do that. We have to go back and take all the people as to what they did. And we distorted. Lie about it. We twist it true. Is it true. And so when you i would encourage everyone to read david. Barton's book on thomas jefferson and when it came out all of these people really attacked him as he wasn't an historian and all he did was take what jefferson said and what he did and they all began quoting each other from these books in the nineteen fifties and sixties original source document. What he did so in order to take down. America you must. I say that those people that did these things. We're not trustworthy. Then it was built on. I lie so they misrepresent. That's why i was on the seventeen. Seventy six commission because we got understand. America was founded on july four. Seventeen seventy six not in sixteen. Nineteen one hundred and fifty years before thomas jefferson. George washington was even born so they tried to to cloud the two so the america doesn't know what they were therefore they don't know who they are and that's why that's the war we're involved in right now. So what is the most important thing that we can do in the nineteen eighties nineties. We knew that the educational system was being stolen out from under us. But we didn't want to get involved. Why why was there. This unwillingness bob. I i'd have to. I'd have to think about that a bit. Go ahead rob prosperity. They didn't see the fear. It was the ego. The embedded growth obligation. Things are just going to keep getting better and we don't want to upset the applicant and the country. wh- was always in. America was never the premier nation on earth until nineteen forty seven. And then after. After after that i it was in a telegram that was sent from the prime minister of britain was sent to to harry truman. On april seventh nineteen forty seven and said unless the united states intervened in the cyprus crisis that the crown had neither passing or the will to be involved in that the torch was passed to the united states of america became the premier nation on earth. Never in the history of man as one nation become the premier nation on earth. What it didn't seek it. The indian the the romans knew what they had to do. The french new at the british. Do what they had to do. The greeks knew everybody saw the single exception to that is the united states of america that was was given world leadership not because it sought it because people trusted and we didn't like it. We didn't like to pay for it. We wish it would go away. We've handed more more responsibly than than anyplace else. Now in the process of that we. Then we're we're in a competition for seventy years at the end. We could get into how it happened but nevertheless after world war two. We gave away for that. Eight year period if way all of central eastern europe to the soviet union. And so then. We had this competition going on ronald reagan. It's an and then by that time. And when i came in and said well we have to contain communism state where we are reagan commended. We don't have to contain communist. We can transcend communist loved and went after it and collapse. Now these people are in their twenties have lived in a period unlike any time in the history of the world the one nation a completely unchallenged economically military and politically on the planet. And so they thought this is how it is and so they think i can just go ahead. We'll take socialism from from venezuela and. We'll take this from there and they don't understand that none of those people would do. Anything ship is lost. If a plane is lost over the alps this afternoon or flying over africa tonight. They're using a global positioning system. Conceived and bennett maintained by americans. I if the list goes on and on so that how did we get in this mess. We took it for granted that freedom was in our dna that america would always be safe. We could make any compromise that we could make and we'll just let it go and we won't get blessed me my wife john wife us four. No more amen. We're just going to focus on ourselves and the process is about to come back and snap it. That's why this awakening this. That we're enjoying at the moment is essential..

"Jeff and Rebecca Mercer. Those air the four owners That's really weird because his story today Thursday morning in an interview with The New York Times is the exact opposite. Yesterday. He said he was some big free speech advocate insinuating he wanted light moderation for the site, which was the right way to handle parlor. By the way, we are a free speech, but today, he said, something different. He said that and we knew our touch, which is really weird and interview today that he got fired because he wanted to moderate basically heavily and get rid of Q and on and terrorists and all that stuff, which, by the way, nobody allows terrorists on their sites. That's kind of a stupid thing to say. Is there a terrorist site out there? I'm not You sure that maybe other social media platforms That wasn't us, So it's weird. Yesterday he was anti moderation. But this morning he was pro moderation. Why do you think he changed the story? He's telling you the truth because I'm getting a lot of emails from listeners. We leave our email out there because I love my audience. And I actually want to hear from you not through filters, so we get your emails. Jon e mailed me yesterday. Another John J. G. Even a guy who doesn't like us sky Chris sends me nasty emails all the time. It's okay. I enjoy hearing what you're thinking. They said, Gosh, this guy John sound so sincere. It sounds like the big guys gang up on him, Did they They really? So why isn't his story consistent from one day to the next? Yesterday wanted parlor to be a free speech site today he's saying got fired because he didn't want it to be a free speech like Gosh, what stories true. Why did he change his mind? About his story, which seems to change as he licks his finger and sees which direction the winter black well, because yesterday I did a Facebook live, which is the beginning of the show was appearing on Fox News. That's why Paula was doing. She was clearing my throat. She's trying to get me to watch the TV. They covered the Facebook Live. I got a Facebook live yesterday Wednesday evening to correct the record about John's termination as the parlor CEO, where I addressed the fax. And the facts are this John Story about wanting to be some free speech advocate for parlor is inaccurate and is absolutely false. So I'll give you the media guide in a second. Maybe some questions. You should ask John. If you're in the media just the challenge him on his story yesterday because it's changed today that he wanted he was advocating for a free speech site and let me get this straight, folks. You've known me now. For what 67 years many of you and I was the advocate. To make parlor. What an anti free speech side. Does that make sense to you? Does that make any sense to you? As as listeners of mine who'd been involved with me forever? Since that book one genesis of this show? You really believe it was me saying No, no, Let's make this site more like Twitter. That big sense. And John Nazi was on the side of free speech while I wasn't that makes sense. This is not the show if you actually believe that, Trust me. This is not the show for you The reason he changed his story because last night during my Facebook live that one viral I had to do an emergency press conference about it. Laid down a bunch of facts. And I told you that when, because of some legal reasons, we have to be careful.

Kiss up to the Silicon Valley people and others. I don't know what he's motivations are. I don't care to get in his head. But to try to say no, no, I was against those those free speech. Cue it on folks, and that will always against them the whole time. Weird how his story changed from one day to the next. You doubt me? Fair enough. You should. You should doubt everything. Fact check me too. You doubt my story that me and the two other owners were absolutely on the side of free speech for the site.

Um And so pick up the phone could be $1000.1000 dollars. You know, I feel sorry for I was trying. I was I was driving around today. And I was listening to Johnny can show you feel sorry for me. Thank you, Um not you. But I feel sorry for John Colville from the John and Ken show. Why? Because if if you listen to Deborah Colbert, John's wife. She sounds exactly. Like you. What? Yes, No. My voice is so much higher. You have. Were you born in these coast? No. Or you have any coast connection? No, no New Jersey and your family? No. Okay. Well, if you I'll play later on some of John's wife, Debra. Okay, so he comes into work. You have the same name. You have the same voice and he is. He's gotta be suicidal, but she's blond and she's taller. And I'm short brunette. That's right, but he can't get away. I mean, his only free time is from his house to work and from work to home, and then it's right back, Man. I know poor guy and I love when occasionally he forgets your name because I do that to, you know, with with you and Gina and you know, and whoever right? Yeah, but it's ridiculous to forget mining. I mean, that's beyond. There does seem to be an added distraction that level of distraction that that takes right did not know your night. Really alright. I might as well say this before it gets out in the news. But I was at McDonald's that yesterday. And I went through the drive through and when you leave the drive through and you stop there to make sure everything's right in the bag, and then you move on. And as I was looking in the bag I saw a big pink balloon like Roll past my car down down Olive. And I look over and there's a three year old girl and her mom and the mom starts running after the balloon, and then she stops and she goes back to her daughter. She made the right move, right. You don't want to run down, then all of a sudden, you know, your three year old runs in the street and God only knows what could happen. So she made the right move. She stayed with the kid. I got out of the car. Left my hot French fries and hamburger with ketchup on Lee in the bag, ran down the street, got the balloon and gave it back to his saving her life saving the kid's life. And, you know, I was flipping around last night on 245 and seven. See anything, but I know there's you know, there's gonna be some coverage. You are a giant step. What a great American. Oh, Okay. So you would think that you know the woman would be thrilled, right? And she's very happy that you know, I gave her back The balloon and the kid was, you know, was very grateful. No, she just a little tiny voice because thank you should probably raised so Then the woman says to me and she sort of emotional too. I don't know what was going on before the balloon got away made the balloon want to be away, right? That's possible. Why'd she says me? She says, Oh, she goes. You must have a daughter or a granddaughter. I haven't taken it. You didn't like the grand daughter. Call me Well, you know it's possible that I could have a granddaughter who's three years old. I get it, but it just stings every once in a while because I remember when when we had our daughter. We're up in Oregon and happened twice in one week. It happened once and Bank America in a little tiny, tiny town in Oregon, and that happened on the coast in in at Costco. Remember exactly where I was. It happened twice in one week because I was with my daughter. And they said Oh, you must have such a great beautiful granddaughter. What do you say when people say that to you? Well, I said I turned it to them. I go. You know what I said? I'm not a grand parent yet. But how does it feel to be a grandparent? Right, Grandma? What are you talking about? But But in Oregon You know, they start a little younger. Right, Like like my wife and I got to get this straight. I think My wife's mom. Was 15 when she got pregnant before 16 maybe was 16. And she had her and 17 right. I'll have to figure that out. Right, Um It's weird because my I'm 10 years older than my wife. And I'm only 5.5 for six years younger than my mother in law, Mother in law. Wow. Oh, that's funny, right? So when when we travel whenever we go anywhere Um, way. Listen to the same music and my wife's like, Hey, what's with the oldies? You know, we're not jamming to the oldies tonight. What's going on with the two of you? Is weird, eh? So I'm six years younger than her mom And I'm 10 years older than she is not crazy. Now. Has anybody thought that your mother in law is your wife? I not yet. Wide looking forward to that. Thank you. Well, you know what I hate when people call me ma'am, because I think when somebody calls me, ma'am, that they think I either sound old or I look old, But if somebody calls you, honey or deer in a restaurant does that offend? You know, it's the ma'am. It's the ma'am. I can't stand. It drives. It drives my wife crazy because I'll be in a restaurant. I'll go. Excuse me, darling. Thank, you Know, get a menu. And I know by looking at the waitress whether she'll be offended by they're not. And I nail it every time. I know if they're you know, you're young, Get a little chip on your shoulder. They don't like that. I get that. But when your tally ran down the street and you go Excuse me, sweetie. Can I get a little more water? They love it. Absolutely love it. Absolutely love it 100% anyway, So watch the news tonight There might be a story to local stations. And right now I will look at you as soon as I see your face.

So if you can isolate, you know what kind of role you've been playing, and that's the first step just like No admitting You're an alcoholic or an addict, right? Right, right. Way have talked about all these different types of personality traits that form because people are in families where someone is the substance abuser. But then the person gets better they go to or they come to a great counseling center or they go toe clinical solutions, and they're no longer an abuser.

"Now for Mental Health America Morning edition. Good morning, and we are back and we're so glad to be here. Unfortunately, Karen Edmonds, who was always always here. Is not here today because she's taking a well deserved break but filling in for caring we have we have Angie here we have Nick on the line. And today we're talking about a very, very interesting subject. I think so. Get ready to call in the number. Here's 1 809 2 to 66 80 you have to call in. Do you have a substance abuser in your family? Are you a substance abuser? If you have a substance abuser in your family, then your entire family unit Has built a nucleus around that substance abuser and they have all developed roles that you might not have even thought off. It's not right engine. For sure. So so how does this happen? So we think of poor substance abuser. Let's get the substance abuser help They go to a bay start to get better. But if you're in a family unit You have different people who are all playing different roles. The substance abuse your views are actually kind of sucks the air out of the entire room. And the focus of the family unit is on the substance abuser is I mean, do I have that right? That's correct, so the substance user or how people usually call the addict. They're what we call the usual suspect right there, causing the chaos with their active addiction. But we had found over years. Research has found that family members are also ill, and that's why they call it a family disease. It's not just the substance user. It's the roles that different family members play because everyone Suffers in a sense from addiction, right? And did you think it appears of listening to us at home? Did you think of that? Because I didn't think of that until Angie when she and I were talking yesterday, and she said, I've got a great idea for a show tomorrow. And I thought, Wow, I never even really thought about that. If you're in a relationship with a substance abuser, or you're married to, or have a father or a mother, who was the subsidy user. You build your life around the fact that there are subjects of user and you have to behave like this. So you become the apologist for the family When there's problems, I would think. Well, I'm so sorry. He behaved or she behaved like that. Because Bob Loblaw, right? Or and I did you ever think about I never thought about that before. Yeah, it is. The number here's was 1 809 2 to 66. 80. If you have stories like this to tell us, we'd love to talk to you because this is a very important show, isn't it? I think It is what you know, It's interesting. Um, in my past career, is an addictions counselor. I actually knew at the age of 14 that I wanted to be an addictions counselor because how much recovery and healing helped my own family is ever yes, I was very passionate about it. And this subject is really dear to my heart because I feel like Everyone in the family has suffered and everyone deserves healing and recovery. And it is possible for the family the hell right but it can actually get even more complicated. When the person recovers. Then it is when the person does not recover. Because Tell. Well, it's what you explain Well, so we're used to solve Give you a scenario. Let's say we have John and I'm just going to use this as an example. Let's say he's the father. He has a wife. He has kids. And let's say John's pattern is he works all day He comes home at five. He gets drunk till seven. He beats the wife and kids to attend. He passes out at 11, and then it's rents. Repeat, and let's say John goes into a rehab and he gets involved in a recovery program. And now John is this different person He's loving and he wants to hug the wife and the kids. He's talking about his 12 Step program. He's going to meetings and the family's looking at him like Well, who's this jerk way? No, the other guy. We know how to navigate this. You know this person, But now we don't know this Person and recovery who all of a sudden wants to be loving And once the kind of change the script and not only don't they know who that is, They kind of lose their identity. Don't think yes, because they were used to. They used to be the person that said there there. Well, hold his hair. So it doesn't throw up when his hair in the toilet, you know, and all these things that go. You know, these stereotypes would go with Being an abuser or being surrounded with an abuser in the center of your nuclear family, and they feel like the addiction originally stole him from them and now recovery. Taken him away. So is there some resentment there? Oh, for sure, Okay. Strong was that meant, so That's why the family needs help is well as the person who has recovered or is in recovery. That's why any treatment center, you know, work. Their fidelity will have a family component. Okay? And does the family go in together as a group to talk about this? You know, it's interesting. You say that so usually like, Let's say, John's family. Let's say John's wife and kids decide to go to, you know. Treatment Center where they have a family group. Well, what do you think? The first thing the family wants to talk about? I would imagine the abuser if they want to talk about John, right, because he's the problem, and they're very passionate. They have a laundry list of pal John has destroyed their lives, so they there's a little bit of being a martyr that comes with us virtually absolutely, and you know, and understandably so you know, but usually the treatment center will say. Say John's wife is I'll just say, Susie Susie, Let's talk about your behaviors. And Susie's like me. I'm the model wife. Yeah, I called in sick firm. I protected him at family dinners. I got the kids off to school. I did this There is nothing wrong with me. Yes, I'm I'm the martyr something you're reading. What's left of my mind? I was thinking Yes, I'm the family martyr Here. I am. And aren't I wonderful? Well, yes, you're wonderful. Now what? We have to talk about your maladaptive behaviors. Yes. And how do you know what are usually the problems that go with somebody who has experienced like Experience that and we'd love to hear your comments on this appear in the audience. And have you experienced any of this, and I know some of you have Call in and tell us about your experience the number here's 1 809 2 to 66 80. And we want to talk to you about this because this to me is fascinating. Probably because I never thought of it until you mentioned it. It's just fascinating. So what are the typical problems of someone? And how do you address those problems? If you're the head of the family, and you're the year the martyr? I hate to say that like that, because that sounds kind of unfair. But if you're the person who put up with all these problems were all you these years and you touched all the bases, And you did everything right? You could think of to do right and now he is healed. And now you have problems. What are those problems And how do you address them? So again, we'll just use Susie in this example just to keep it. So you think Suzy She's the spouse, So she plays the role of the enabler, and that just simply means that she enables or allows The You know Jon's addiction. To keep going. Right. Let's say John's hungover. She'll call in his job for him and say that John Sick, Not that John's hungover John doesn't come to family Thanksgiving. Oh, you know, he's busy working on a project. She protects him, right. And usually Susie doesn't tell anybody like this is a family secret. So When you see Susie Susie seems very together. She works very hard to put a perfect front. Right, You know, Like I said, she gets the kids ready, She says Fine, Fine, fine and the recovery world. There's an acronym and I won't say what it means. But it's Left up and secure, right, neurotic and emotional. That's what find really means. O g, and it's not uncommon for Susie to start getting stress related ailments, right? Uh, anxiety attacks. Um Intestinal issues of anxiety, depression she might start needing to take Antidepressants. She might even start abusing substances. Are you reading my mind? Because I was just about to ask you, is it do people generally start? Abusing something to fill in the void that's in the family. It's not uncommon. Isn't that interesting? That is fascinating. So we have Nick on the line. Nick. I know you're there. How are you? You happy New year, Everyone. Happy New Year. You and Nick A. You're a counselor. This is just you see this all the time, don't you?.

A straw hat shielding his bald scalp from the summer heat. The look on his face is far from sunny. That's because the cereal tycoon is preoccupied with thoughts about his brother's latest intrusion on his business us right now he's trapped in his thoughts to notice just how dramatically he and john have transformed the town of their youth back then it was a small country settlement now it pulses with the wonders of modernity red and green trams rattled down the streets lined with electric lights lights and telephone poles the constant influx of new arrivals fuels a construction boom in a growing downtown marketplace factories are everywhere and they're not only turning out the breakfast.

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. Getty eighty cannot stomach the idea of being exploited by his brother yet again. What's more willis obligated to defend the interests of his investors. John mauer competitor competitor a threat to the livelihoods of everyone who works at kellogg's we'll cannot sit by as sales or lost as bad as he wants to fight and when he figures he has to take one final shot at reconciliation to avoid courtroom showdown his dreadful hand-wringing is suddenly intolerable eligible to him now is the time we'll changes direction he heads north of michigan avenue and crosses the spaniel arched bridge approach that stretches over the glimmering waters battle creek he then heads west through the leafy streets and pass the sprawling fenced off grounds of the battle creek week sanitarium thirty minutes later he reaches john's large gothic revival home on manchester street will marches up painted needed white steps to the front door that twenty room house john calls the residents he removes his straw hat mops his sweaty brow and bangs to brass door knocker john's wife ella opens the door.

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.

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.

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.
