I’m so glad I discovered this channel, not only are the stories good, they also help me fall asleep, sometimes I wake up after and find another episode to listen to.
Absolutely 100% I’d be on the 5 looking for him myself! It seems he may have been wrestling with himself over whether or not to go through with it and contemplating the reasons why he should. Hence the staring off into space seemingly oblivious to his surroundings until they imposed themselves upon him. What is on the outside is not necessarily an indication of what is happening in the mind. We are all so fragile. Please be kind to one another.🌸
Acting strangely and giving away prized possessions is a CLEAR sign that he was having thoughts of self-harm . It seems like they minimizing his symptoms and he most likely went through with it
As a mother this comment is IT! MOREOVER what kind of adults/police don't take home or hold him for the parents. RIDICULOUS! A CLEAR CASE OF SOMEONE CRYING OUT AND BEING BASICALLY IGNORED!
The story on Skidmore, Mo. was made into a movie. There have been more associated with this case, his wife moved out of the area, their house was burned to the ground. He terrorized the residents, he stole even farm equipment, he would disappear for periods of time and carried a large sum of money all the time. The Sheriff, in the County, was threatened with death if he tried to arrest Mcelroy. Skidmore is a rural farming community.
So weird because in most rural farming communities he would get dealt with a hell of a alot sooner. Especially when it comes to assaulting underage girls
@@ligmapolzky1143 Not in Skidmore, MO. He was the town bully, he assaulted, shot, beat up, burned down other people. This has been watered down quite a bit. Some people say he received his money from organized crime in Kansas City area. The last is what people told me who knew either him directly or had relatives who dealt with him.
Even his.parents KNEW what he was like and what he did to make.$ They knew what was going to happen ànd even THEY turned away. Tells you something about the guy, NO?🤔🤔🤫
I found that strange but they were continually waiting and waiting thinking he would be home soon… I try to think about both sides of the situation, it’s so heartbreaking 💔
Never underestimate the power of denial. Bryce’s parents literally just witnessed him acting very shady leading up to him going missing, yet they don’t want to believe he did anything wrong and that foul play must’ve been involved. Some people really just don’t want to see the truth.
I feel that he might have owed someone money…for some reason…and they caught up to him… or he was so scared he took his own life… Hate to judge but if my child was acting this way, I’d be there as soon as I heard their voice… but that’s just me 🤷🏼♀️
I like how the "voices" in Brenda's head knew enough about what was happening to her to tell her what was wrong with her, and enough to give her the street address of a brain scan clinic, but not know enough to realize that she'd just assume that it was psychosis or enough to encourage her to get the surgery after the option was given to her, only encouraging her about the decision after she made it.
This is very true that other people that have fought with Mr Ballen are jealous because he makes TH-cam videos.. They really think that he's pulling the he used to be Navy SEAL deal just to sell his stories. Honestly he's just a very good storyteller and he can tell a fucking story amazingly. I mean he practically has you living in the story at the edge of your seat or at the edge of your bed just waiting for the Next thing to happen within the story. He's good at what he does has nothing to do with him being a Navy seal That's a definite plus but half of the people don't even know that he used to be a Navy SEAL!
How could the parents travel all the way to the town and not travel a further 15 MINUTES to check if maybe he still at the petrol station , like wtf ? Complete stranger finds him and calls you YET YOU STILL DONT GO TO HIM ?!
I had a similar experience when I had a brain tumor when I was 20. Long story short, I had a deadly version on Cushing’s disease. I was in surgery a few weeks later.
The woman hearing those voices that encouraged her to get a brain scan - many people put these things down to an overactive imagination, hallucinations, or a person simply lying... but I can attest that this isn't necessarily the case. I wouldn't be posting here if I didn't have a story of my own; and as such I've have been hearing thought voices daily since 2018, and they've helped me or given great comfort to me on a number of occasions, especially in times of great stress or illness. Most recently (about a week ago) I heard a voice say "Careful!", this was so out of the blue, and clear as a bell... I didn't know what it could relate to so just carried on with whatever I was doing (household chores). So around five minutes or so pass, and I decide to randomly prepare a small meal of prunes and prune juice, then on one of the last prunes I bit down pretty hard onto a pit (these prunes were supposed to be pitted, all the others were...). Something like this could've broken a tooth or filling, caused a fair bit of pain and expense, but in this instance I was lucky and didn't sustain any damage. Can't help but link that voice to this (albeit minor) incident. Another time, a couple of years ago, I was also suffering quite badly with symptoms of CFS (have done so since 2001), one afternoon I heard a voice say "You deserve it." At the time, I felt as though it may have been an unloving voice telling me that I deserved to be in pain, so to be honest felt quite depressed at first. But to my welcome surprise I actually ended up winning £3.5k on the Lottery Postcode not long after this (here in the UK). These are just two times that come to mind, there are others but they're of a highly personal nature.
I think Michael might be a cat cause it sure seems like he’s got nine lives. What a fabulously interesting life he must lead, though at times I fear it might be quite horrifying. Hope he’s got lots of grandkids because he’s got amazing stories to pass on. He really should write a book. I just thought weird things happen to me, but I can’t hold a candle to Michael. I hope he keeps living his extraordinary life while always remaining safe so he can continue to amaze us with his tales so we can all live vicariously through him. Lol. Much love Michael! Good luck and Godspeed.
To be honest Brice's parents are culpable! How many calls before you get off your ass AND GO AFTER YOUR CHILD. WTF??? I love your stories but this one made me want to drive to Cali...and act a fool!!
Michael should've been delt by with the "The taxmen aka the grey suits aka sharks". When you take 100lb 🦞 like that, you need to pay the ocean back for ur greed.
That art theft, someone knows where it is they just didn't not recover 500 million? They know where those paintings are they just let it go. There's no way some petty thieves took 500 million dollars in art on a whim and just kept it hidden they were professional and knew exactly where to take it and who to sell it to.
Roy Cohn was pictured in the story about Ken Rex McElroy. This is the first account the McElroy case that implies that Cohn represented Rex. I would recognize the actual attorney's name if I heard it, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't Cohn.
Bryce’s case had nothing to do with foul play. That’s simply his parents being in denial. It’s much easier to believe that then it is to believe suicide because then it makes him a victim of another rather than a victim of himself.
Bryce was never planning on coming home & talking to his parents.. that was just a cover. Drug abuse & depression are the reasons he was just sitting there staring.. Bryce would never INTENTIONALLY hurt his family. I guarantee, as a person who struggled with suicidal depression in the past, he thought he was doing everyone a favor. The first real sign that he was planning on hurting himself is when he was trying to give his valuables away to his friend. I have a strong feeling that he is not alive living off them grid. I believe he found a way to follow through with his plan…..
Sounds like Bryce just wanted to get away. Young people don't always tell their parents everything and maybe he was going through something he didn't want his parents to know about. Maybe he was ashamed of something?
Well if Bryce was my child when I talked to the guy who kept going back to him I would’ve just drove up there myself makes no sense to keep calling obviously he needs help
Go Bush! If the enemy needs to eat human flesh, then they are not human themselves, but predatory creatures. Honorable human beings do not do such barbaric things.
Brenda's voice in her head was the God of Israel. He wanted her to get the help she got. Praise the Lord she obeyed Him! Long life to you, Brenda! God loves every human because He created us. He is very involved with us & not some distant deity. He has spoken to me to stop me from suicide & to answer prayer sometimes. I love Him & will be with Him when Jesus returns to get everyone who loves Him.
Mr Ballen is my lullaby at nite
Yes
Ohhh, nighty night, sleep tight! 🤫🛌🧸
As snug as a bug in rug! 🪺🧚♀️🥱
Me too 🤗
Yep
Same here, y'all. Good night peeps
I’m so glad I discovered this channel, not only are the stories good, they also help me fall asleep, sometimes I wake up after and find another episode to listen to.
That's exactly what I'm doing now 😭😭😭 it's 6 in the morning now and gotta get up soon 😢
I said it before but can't say it enough.Mr.Ballen is Awesome.Please keep the stories coming.😊
The Bush one blew me away, when you said who it was!
Damn that makes me proud.
I absolutely cannot thank you enough for creating this channel😍
This is actually just some random person downloading MrBallens stories like they’re his own. 😊
I like the hour long stories though 😊
This has become my 'ready to settle down to sleep' chanel, so thanks for your constant uploads. Keep it up 💯✌🏽
Same here!
Same
Rex= how bullies should be dealt with.
Certainly
Totally agree, but much sooner.
Yes. Def agree!!
Blows my mind that Bryce's parents would not go to get him, instead of just talking on the phone.
I know...it really infuriates me.
Absolutely 100% I’d be on the 5 looking for him myself!

I’m always shocked at these stories, but then I get brought back to happy after mrballen reiterates what to do to that like button 😂😂
I’m glad I found this channel of Mr. Ballen ! Good story teller and handsome to !
* too
I know he is super good looking!!!!
Agreed!
"Too" you mindless dolt.
He may be handsome (I agree) but he is happily married with children. ❤

Movie name?
As a man how could you sign over your 12 year old daughter to another man. Weak asf
"That man just needed a killin'" - Sometimes, you just have to put the Bully down. F.A.F.O.
I would've been took off to get my son myself. Aint no urging. Either get here or I'm already otw
I put this on when I jump in bed. Love it!!!!
Yes give me more Mr Ballen thnk you keep it up 💜💜💜
Michael the "whale guy" was on Jimmy Kimmel and told his incredible story on national TV but Mr. Ballen actually told it better!
So, EVERYONE went over to buttonwillow EXCEPT his parents? Why didn’t they immediately go out there??
Even his.parents KNEW what he was like and what he did to make.$ They knew what was going to happen ànd even THEY turned away. Tells you something about the guy, NO?🤔🤔🤫
I found that strange but they were continually waiting and waiting thinking he would be home soon… I try to think about both sides of the situation, it’s so heartbreaking 💔
My thoughts exactly!

And they wallow in self pity about how Bryce would never intentionally do this to hurt his family….boo hoo poor us. I hate em already, this poor kid!
I feel that he might have owed someone money…for some reason…and they caught up to him… or he was so scared he took his own life…

I can't get enough!! This first story from Delaware I live 30 mins from where that happened!!! Yikes
One of the best like button abuses yet. Eighteen gears!! 😂😂
Mr M, I am hooked on your stories. Also I listen to you at bedtime.
Slapped the like button silly
How could the parents travel all the way to the town and not travel a further 15 MINUTES to check if maybe he still at the petrol station , like wtf ?
Complete stranger finds him and calls you YET YOU STILL DONT GO TO HIM ?!
Yes, like why didn’t they start driving up there? Strange
You are the man!
The Rex story is sooooo amazing!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
I had a similar experience when I had a brain tumor when I was 20. Long story short, I had a deadly version on Cushing’s disease. I was in surgery a few weeks later.
I always imagine the Submarine to go “Peek-a-boo” when it’s Periscope popped up above the surface.
Good bed time stories 😊
Good job!😊

Rex Should Have Lived In My Home Town He Wouldn't Have Lived A Week
All those town folk were cowards
He's lived a hell of a life lol
In Maine it's so illegal to dive for lobsters. Most lobsterman will use you as bait.
🐳 The whale thought he was Jonah! 🐋
Am I only one who is shocked that the parents didn’t go to the the rest stop? Like it’s low key wild and a little sus
Too cool!
To be honest Brice's parents are culpable! How many calls before you get off your ass AND GO AFTER YOUR CHILD. WTF??? I love your stories but this one made me want to drive to Cali...and act a fool!!
Michael really out here playing life on hardcore mode.
So weird that I am seeing this on the 10th anniversary of Bryce's disappearance.
I still say good riddance to Rex the Bully.
Michael should've been delt by with the "The taxmen aka the grey suits aka sharks". When you take 100lb 🦞 like that, you need to pay the ocean back for ur greed.
Omg the dude at the end tho! 😂
So has Bryce ever been found?
Nope, not that I’ve seen 😔
Thank you for this sir.. more please..
I’ve always had mixed feelings about George Bush Sr., but this story gives me a new found respect for this man!!!
That art theft, someone knows where it is they just didn't not recover 500 million? They know where those paintings are they just let it go. There's no way some petty thieves took 500 million dollars in art on a whim and just kept it hidden they were professional and knew exactly where to take it and who to sell it to.
The lubricant... 😂😂😂 I will have to do that trick to someone. 😂😂😂 Well, I don't know if I 🤔🫢
Roy Cohn was pictured in the story about Ken Rex McElroy. This is the first account the McElroy case that implies that Cohn represented Rex. I would recognize the actual attorney's name if I heard it, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't Cohn.
That’s a title accomplishment one cannot brag about, no booty to share.
I'm still waiting for that hair to be styled. 😊
I wonder what was missing from his wallet? It was said that his wallet and bag looked to have been rummaged through.
Poor Ted and Del... poor George must have felt so guilty :(
Good old vigilante justice...
the 2nd story, was it on buzzfeed? i think so
Last story Wow
If they the courts wouldn't have let the bully get away with so much the people there wouldn't have had to do their job
Does Mr Ballen know you are posting compilations of his videos?
That art thief was proof crime can pay
Just gotta be smart and hope you have i competent employees working at where ever you deside to rob.
Need to make the sure your employees are better than their employee
thanks Ballen you're my cinnamon apple!
Cooooostaaa ricccaaaa
A museum with such valuables getting guard buy just 2 pple is crazy .
The cop story cracks me up
Especially when they were compared to “The Office “ 😂😂
Do you know the way to Bells Canyon?
That's Why I Carry And I Don't Pick Up Toads
If my life is being threathened by a screwdriver i laugh at him 😂
Rex got "John Marston-Ed"
Only in Detroit hahahaahaha
Bryce's parents called everyone they could reach, but couldn't drive a couple hours away to find him?
Ok, seriously, what's up with all the hate for the like button? LOL
Michael is pinnochio's father/ maker
30:30 , 36:04 - Christian is a great dude
Dude Michael is a lucky guy.
Bryce’s case had nothing to do with foul play.
That’s simply his parents being in denial.
It’s much easier to believe that then it is to believe suicide because then it makes him a victim of another rather than a victim of himself.
💕🙏💕

Mike and Karen were really loose with how they handled their son's behavior
MrBallen is my laxative. He makes me poop my pants
One of the robbers was my uncle Dick Clark.
Sounds like Bryce just wanted to get away. Young people don't always tell their parents everything and maybe he was going through something he didn't want his parents to know about. Maybe he was ashamed of something?
I still don't understand after all these years, why Bryce's parents just didn't get in their car and go to the hotel!
❤
How was Gilbert arrested?
Same I put him on too sleep lol
Why didn't the parents just drive there themselves if they were so worried?
Bryce is starting to piss me off at this point lmao this is the second time christiaans came and found him after the cops
Damn he's been missing 11 years. And yeah I feel like he hitched a ride somewhere to disappear
The story about bryce. Helicopter parents.
So if HW bailed out a few seconds earlier, then there would be no GW and 6,000 Americans wouldnt have died for nothing in Iraq.
That looks like the Bates Motel!
Well if Bryce was my child when I talked to the guy who kept going back to him I would’ve just drove up there myself makes no sense to keep calling obviously he needs help
ghw bush and then a son. What a tragic outcome for everyone on the existing planet.
AMEN!
I don't see a phone number to call about the missing red head
Go Bush! If the enemy needs to eat human flesh, then they are not human themselves, but predatory creatures. Honorable human beings do not do such barbaric things.
Does your wife like your plaid shirts?? 😂
She probably picked them out. Hey, I love his shirts!
The parents failed Bryce
Brenda's voice in her head was the God of Israel. He wanted her to get the help she got. Praise the Lord she obeyed Him! Long life to you, Brenda! God loves every human because He created us. He is very involved with us & not some distant deity. He has spoken to me to stop me from suicide & to answer prayer sometimes. I love Him & will be with Him when Jesus returns to get everyone who loves Him.
Find help. You need pills, big pills.
