i know you call you you call your your channel your uh is ctespn yes is that
who came up with
that was it you yeah it was me because i feel like people wrote me off when i
walked off the field
like yo he crazy yeah a lot of people thought he's crazy then a lot of other
people took their
shirts off and left their jobs you ever see all those videos i ain't see it was
a tricky video
they had like 30 videos hey listen i'm not a quitter now just don't give up
your day job i
build up a lot of wealth to sit on when i left out yeah yeah yeah when i left i
was getting into
a into a lamborghini so that's a little different that's a little different
leave out did you feel
uh but did you have an actual like mental did you have ct you think like did
you ever feel it i feel
like cte is a trauma when the nfl just you know being a football player you
gotta go through trauma
but it's like you know you prepare your body to endure the trauma right i lift
weights you know
physical therapy mental therapy i manifest the goal you know i'm saying so you
do all the mental clarity
things that you gotta do to be welled off you know what i mean take therapy do
all the well-being
things you need to do to be a functional human right family a godly man
spiritual so i feel like when
people don't understand you or just like why would make them lead the field for
millions of dollars
that's what they try to say with football players but cte is a real thing that
they determine
when people pass away it's been a lot of players football players that died
over the course of years
that they just you know just write them off like they had cte but we all have
trauma and cte is a
trauma that we all endure like you said you how you grew up dealing with trauma
we like life is a
trauma yeah life is not perfect for no but only person how did jesus walk the
earth and have a he was
only one living life perfect but his life was evolved for traumas they killed
him and deserve
as an example so like our lives good point man there's a lot of trauma life is
all trauma bro
sometimes your back hurt your knee hurt you sore but that's what life's about
our bodies is not gonna
last forever your mind is not gonna last forever we all got a due date to die
so when you think about
life in the aspect of the reality it's like yo i'm not crazy i just walked off
to put myself in a
better opportunity you just may not understand it and just thought it was crazy
because you putting
yourself in my shoes oh i've left work early many times you know what i'm
saying i guess my job was
on tv and now they're making on the news it just happened to be one of them
days but as a normal
human we all had these days yeah this is normal yeah you got left your job you
feel me we leave it
so it's just like man that's it dude but so you never got actually diagnosed
though in cte nah man people
can't even die i know ct that's why i started ctspn to talk to people right
about their traumas and how
they deal with their traumas and cope with their traumas overcoming adversity
because i feel like
being a great football player being a great person in any form of life you had
to endure a lot of
adversity what is ct bring it up i just want to have a clear idea because i
always say it all the
time and i have no idea what it is it's a new crazy it's like the new what you
don't understand but
it's really like a head trauma that the nfl diagnosed that players die by that
they can't
find out till you die so they can't find out to die chronic chronic traumatic
encephalopathy
yeah but it's like yo you already got that if you hit in so much right you a
football player we banging
every day so it's like it's a brain disease that works worsens over time and
can lead to dementia
it's caused by repeated blows to the head such as concussions that damage brain
tissue cte can affect
anyone who has experienced repetitive head trauma including athletes military
veterans
and first responders so do you have to get a like a diagnosis oh you can't did
you get a brain scan
done i mean i got a lot of brain dang i feel like yo this is just like some of
the likes that just
think about anything okay sorry i'm sorry i'm interrupting you playing football
you got to
understand vaughn you're signing up to bang out right like before you even you're
playing the nfl
you're lifting weights when they're hitting you they're hitting you to hurt you
like right if they
hit you and hit a guy like you theo vaughn if they knock you out on the field
they're going viral
they're going on tv they change it they might get a job pay raise wow so it's
pre-eminated for alpha
males to just lift weights to hit hard to bang out right so you know before you
sign up
right if you saw me to the zoo you got you know i'm a bit you don't know you
gotta be animal of course
so it's like okay after you done being the animal and you realize being the
animal just was for a
short time that is not realistic it's just a part of your life right it's a kid
game that you made your
life and you fly you realize you get 30 something like yo i don't got that much
college on my knees
these shits it's only a thin line of college right that you got that's just you
ain't gonna be able
to run forever you know what i'm saying so you realize the real things of being
a future you're
just a number was there an athlete that you saw was there a receiver or an
athlete that you saw one
time that really like brought it to your attention wow the physical the long-term
effects of the
physicalness of this no i feel like you always understand as a player is it
going to be physical but
i feel like it's up to you to play the game smart and put yourself in position
right you are you it's like
your craft i'm a football player i'm a receiver i know how to run the routes on
you with the timing
and the precision and make sure i don't get hit was there a season that you
could have showed up for
better like in yourself like you just had too much going on your own life i
always showed up you did
yeah that was my life my life is my football like yo if i don't play good i don't
get treated good
like yo boy don't forget a football player is a number right it's you a number
yeah they're picking
many of you number 84 number 72 number two yeah it's all a number so it's like
it's gonna come to an end
you know what i'm saying like what you gonna you want me to leave when i'm hurt
or you want me to
leave when they don't want me no more okay so how am i gonna transition to
another job right are they
gonna be are they gonna take oh all i could be is a coach like i can't even
show up on time to be a
player like bro if you work for fedex you get that there quick bro nah i can't
work for but i'm just
saying bro that's what i'm saying but that's like an average job like from a
guy come you know how fast you
could get that bitch there bro less than overnight bro you know how many hits
you put a post on that
thing bro imagine how many times i hit the ground yeah i played football since
i was six years old
to like 31 like yo 27 years or somebody you waking up not even thinking in
reality my life is like yo
how could i get open on theo i'm living this this is my life waking up how i'm
gonna get open how i'm gonna win
look that's not even real life deal well is it i mean it's a short part of life
right it's a stick
yeah it's not real life is but it's definitely like no it's real but it's like
like yo it's a
just a part of your life to get to a position in life where you can live a
better life right
