Rick CampanelliGUEST
We brainwash ourselves.
Rick CampanelliGUEST
When you're deep in something like an addiction like that, and I can't speak for the other addictions, but... gambling addiction, when it takes over, first of all, that's all you're focused on, that next win, because that win is always around the corner.
Rick CampanelliGUEST
And there are big losses, too, that are around the corner.
Rick CampanelliGUEST
But you're always looking for that next big win.
Patti VasquezHOST
I'm going to, as I mentioned, I believe on Tuesday.
Patti VasquezHOST
I'll be speaking tomorrow at the Latin A conference on problem gambling.
Patti VasquezHOST
This is such a strange part of my life because I have so many things, so many experiences throughout my lifetime, and it never occurred to me to talk about my dad's gambling addictions and how it affected our family.
Patti VasquezHOST
And I know that a lot of folks are going through a stressful time, and sometimes we replace ability to relax and sort of remove ourselves by finding other things that make us feel better.
Patti VasquezHOST
And we're not talking about gambling being, you know, like the worst thing ever, being a bad thing.
Patti VasquezHOST
I mean, if you're able to manage it, that's one thing.
Patti VasquezHOST
We're talking about problem gambling where it takes over your life.
Patti VasquezHOST

Mauricio CifuentesGUEST
A little bit of context, Barry, for your listeners to get it.
Mauricio CifuentesGUEST
Four years ago, the state of Illinois conducted the first ever assessment on the impact of problem gambling in different communities in the state.
Mauricio CifuentesGUEST
And the findings were shocking.
Mauricio CifuentesGUEST
because what they found, among many other things, was that the Latinx community, we do not gamble a lot.
Mauricio CifuentesGUEST
But once we become frequent gamblers, defined as people who bet five or more times in one year, our risk to become problem gamblers increases by double numbers.
Mauricio CifuentesGUEST
It's the double.
Mauricio CifuentesGUEST
And the issue with gambling is that people with problem gambling issues have the risk to die of suicide high times higher than the average person.
Mauricio CifuentesGUEST
So the findings by the study were very relevant for the Latinx communities and for many other people.
Meg RobertsHOST
That's who I think gets hurt in all this.

Benjamin LeanderGUEST
I actually gambled away some of the money for the wedding, for the wedding food specifically, purely punting away money on, on live betting tennis, not having control on anything.
Benjamin LeanderGUEST
So that, that was where it actually all started several years ago with rather severe gambling addiction.
Peter LingHOST
Yeah, 'cause I've read a very candid article where you did an interview about this, and you talked about the issues you've related to there.
Benjamin LeanderGUEST
Mm.
Adam SelzerGUEST
Um, it'll be, you know, it's the same price and the margins that I get are significantly higher than I get when I go through a publisher.
Patti VasquezHOST
Well, because if you're doing a speaking event, like let's say I want it because I'm starting to get hired, which totally out of my expectation was that I now speak at events for gambling addiction because my father was a gambling addict.
Patti VasquezHOST
And I'm like, well, this is something I could totally write about, but I don't necessarily know if I can sell it to a publisher.
Adam SelzerGUEST
Yeah.
