Speaker 1 (00:23):
Good evening, everybody. I'll walk another digit of no. I
have no limits with my voice, although it will probably
be more limits onner than most people think tonight because
I opened the first segment. I'll let the crew take
over the rest, and then I button it up to
the end and actually try to do something I used
to doing. Shut shut up, motor mouth. So that what
the experts take care of it. You have to just
(00:43):
tell myself to shut up. Yeah, you know, more time
than most people think, even though nobody's around here at
home when I'm by myself all day thinking about it.
Because it's just me, the walls and this, you can't
fucking root so the okay, them all lot either until
Candy gets back and they're begging for food. Okay, Well
that said, let me introduce the crew. Obviously we have
our continually study on CTE, but we take it to
a different level and we're dealing with the military and
(01:05):
Veterans Day themes talking about brain injury and CTE. But
that said, Candy Evey, welcome back.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Thanks Scott, it's great to be here.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
And Jennifer welcome.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Back, thank you, happy to be here.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
And William it gets me toy tonight, the low key
version early and then the high key version later. William
Percha and everything that you get hit with tonight.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
We'll we'll find out.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Confidence is a beautiful thing when you say yes, okay,
it's a beautiful thing. Sure to make sure, yeah, okay.
I run quite a show, a wild wild Southeast here
on nine o'clock on the Sports Exchange. I have a
wild crew lined up in a don't to dare message.
As they used to say, the big tent, the the
(01:56):
wrestling circles back that they don't dare mix it. That
was what they used to say big time wrestling back then. Well,
I don't know if they have any shows pertaining wrestling
on when it comes to this, you never know. We'll
think that something else is Apollo Creed would say, what's Stallion?
You don't mean stell. You're not thinking something else? Apollo Creed,
rocket or you have it all right? Not stick to
(02:17):
the veterans day name. Why should I be a veteran?
I got sixty three years old. I show it not
called social security. I was once too old to go
ahead and join the army. When I met Tom Lasorda,
I said, Tommy, I'm a veteran, I should go in there,
but now they were checking that out too old. Yeah,
but I'm a veteran. Say no, no, no, no, yeah, we're
(02:37):
age restrictions when you're eighteen plants and they like otherwise
you stuck out here with me. But I know you
do good there, Scottie, Tommy, will sort of everybody in
the book. All right, let's get back to the veteran's
day military focus. All right, I'll put it out there.
What makes you think so many veterans are battling cd
HE and other brain injuries like you are, William?
Speaker 4 (02:59):
He said, why do I think so?
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (03:02):
Yeah, oh well, I'm glad you asked that question. But
I've had to live this thing. I've lived it. I
had to live with it for It's like I had
to live the perfect life for this thing to come
full circle from me knowing about mental health, from working
in mental health to watching the athletes start to suffer
(03:23):
and along that way, like, I've met a lot of
military guys, so I had a lot of love for
the military guys. One of my teammates who took his life,
he was my driver in the World Championship, Stephen Hoping.
He's won every Olympic medal for the men's side since
two thousand and three, and he took his life at
the training Centema and he was always so good to me.
And so as I started seeing the symptoms line up
(03:46):
with like from the veterans, the football athletes, the Bob's letters,
all the symptoms are the same. So this last weekend
I was working on putting together a graph that shows
that I think like something telling me, like the world
is not connecting the dots, and I'm just trying to
connect those dots so we can get get everybody some help.
(04:09):
And the other strikech thing, I just realized, Yeah, looking
at that chront right there, if you look at the
middle partners and suicide depression tvi CTE, there's a whole
There's quite a few more things that can go in there,
like the anxiety, and but it's it's almost it's almost
like it's being smoke swept under the rug a little bit.
And I'm not sure if people really connecting the dots.
(04:32):
I only connected them because, like I see what their
symptoms are. I know what my symptoms are, and I
know how I rebounded, how I got up off that floor,
and like I said, I always give Joe name with
all that credit for it, Like I didn't create this,
I'm just following what he spoke about.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
And it worked.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
And then I found there's pockets of companies all around
the United States doing this, like one from the military
is called treatnow dot org. Like there's people out here
who know these things are working. And man, I did
some research this weekend, and I knew that was a
high suicide rate on our veterans, but I didn't know
it was that high.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
Like, man, let me look at the real numbers here.
For twenty twenty that was six two.
Speaker 5 (05:17):
Hundred and seventy eight suicides.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
For twenty twenty one, it was six thousand, three hundred
and ninety For twenty twenty two, six.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
Four hundred and seven veterans took their life. And then
I've just blown away. I had no idea. I had
no idea it was twenty thousand veterans within three years
took their life. And now that I know what the
symptoms are and I know how to rebound from this thing,
Like I.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
Wanted how many of those people cool we have saved?
How many?
Speaker 5 (05:50):
It's very simple treatment. If it's going to work, it's
gonna work. If it's not, then it's not. But it's
you have to least try. We have to least try
and get these people to help that they need.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
So let me let me go. All right, I thought
I'll talk about the symptoms, how do identify what to
look for? And I'll go ahead and write this one
jen based on that outline, then you can incorporate after
the last point, how does that sound transition over here?
So let's go back to the symptoms. How do identify
what to look for?
Speaker 5 (06:21):
Well, the best one it's gonna come from your loved ones,
because everybody's gonna be a little bit different. And so
what you have, but what you have noticed is uh,
every NFL suicide or or veteran suicide or or veteran
instance doing the mass shootings, like all they loved ones
said the same things. They were acting different than normal.
(06:42):
So everybody's simptom is gonna look a little bit different.
But for me, mine was I thought I had adult ADHD.
You're heard that a lot, uh for a lot of us.
We'll go we'll start having sleep ADNET where you didn't
have that problem before. Is it something in the brain
that doesn't shift And a matter of fact, when I
went to do my sleep study, the lady didn't know
my background, and I said, why does this stuff happen
(07:03):
all of a sudden and she said, well, some people
have like hand injuries. And I was like, okay, need
not say no more. I just don't wait your brath.
I already know where you're going. She didn't know, She
didn't know my situation. She was a text, you know.
And so it's the same symptoms over and over. Anxiety.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Yeah, one of you were speaking with a former military
person over the weekend, right, and you got a text
from from somebody. What did that text say? Like, what
were some of the symptoms that this person was going through?
They didn't have a brain agree, what did they have?
Speaker 5 (07:33):
Well, he had the cloudiness like me, And he said that, hey,
wait a minute, I'm I played football, now I'm in
the military. Now I'm having this cloudiness like you've been
talking about. Uh, you know, what can I do to
get rid of this? How can you help me? That's
kind of what he was asking.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
And he was saying, what did he shot mortars or
what was it that he did?
Speaker 5 (07:52):
Yeah, I think it was something with the shooting the
shooting of the guns. So if you look at all
of the see the government's been well put this one.
The military has been forthcoming with some of the information,
like the people who are having the struggles, which is
the pilots, anybody who shot the big artillery or anybody's
around that thing would or like something explodes, and that wave,
(08:15):
that wave is equivalent to repeated it repetitive head injuries.
It's the same thing, you know, and as we know,
most of our injuries, it comes from practice. So if
you're out there practicing shooting that gun, you know.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
You're gonna get it. You're gonna get it.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
And so we know that repetitive micro traumas, right, yeah,
with every shot.
Speaker 5 (08:40):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know exactly, yeah, yep. So but
we do know about those guys, so we know it's
the artillery guys, people who did the work with artillery.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
Sorry my speech is a little slurring a little bit,
but uh yeah.
Speaker 5 (08:53):
And then we got a fighter pilots for sure, and
the guys on those speed boats that you know, the
wave skippers. Those are the highest ones. Oh, in our
aircraft carriers are number one. If you flew off of
an aircraft carrier, it's that that that joked when you're
taking off of when you when they're stopping you, because
that brain wants to keep moving with that wire snatches
(09:14):
it andmpluys you back. That's all the same stuff. And
so if you look at all those groups and talk
to any of those people, you can get all the
same symptoms over and over and over. And I think
I've kind of connected some more dots on it. Like
I was looking at I was thinking about all my injuries.
You know, anytime you pull a hamstring, you know, there's
(09:36):
a there's a process to healing the body. So anytime
you get any kind of injury, the fluid always rushes
to that area to protect it. So with the hamstrings,
you know, of course they're gonna you know, dig in
it and make you cold.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
They know we do.
Speaker 5 (09:51):
They do ice first seventy two hours, then they do
heat alternating, then they do electric stimulation you might do atupuncture,
and then at the very end they always going with
the elbow and they dig into that that little knot.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
They break up all the scartch issue in there.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
But what I realized is whenever you had brain issues,
they don't do anything. So we're sitting here with a
ticking time bomb in our country with anybody who's ever
had a head injury, which is probably every boy and
every American boy, with the stuff that we'd be doing
jumping off with bikes and jumping out of trees and
(10:28):
falling out of trees and fighting, you know, and so
the issues we just haven't dealt with them. And I
think that's the problem that we're running.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Into, right And those intense headaches I think are a
key sign right where talk about the headaches and the.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
Well, last weekend, I ignored my headache.
Speaker 5 (10:46):
I knew it was coming, and I told people it
was coming, and I just refused to do what I
was supposed to do to make it go away. So
that was on a Thursday, and so I could kick
them full time. On Friday, Saturday, four thirty money old Sunday,
I went to the er and I was give a
double ivy double ivy.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Bag just because I ignored it. You know.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
But those those migraines are so dangerous because sometimes they
lead to the aneurysms, and so that's scary. Whenever I
get those headaches. That's that's the one thing I'm concerned about.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Yeah, Olden Blake. I've heard a lot of things about those.
Are one more thing I'm gonna ask. I'm gonna turn
over to Jennifer and Candy. How do brain injuries tend
to happen in the military? And which jobs or activities
tend to lead to the two part question. After I
get there asking these questions, I'll turn and will you
menswer those directly as they asked you, and then I'll
(11:39):
let Jennifer and Candy take over.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
So you said, which which jobs in the military?
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Okay, so here, how do brain injuries tend to happen
in the military, Which is the first part of it,
And the follow up is which jobs or activities tend
to lead to this?
Speaker 4 (11:54):
Well, from what I understand, like, I don't know all
the military jobs.
Speaker 5 (11:58):
I know the ones that people have been reaching out
to me, and I know what they were doing. So
it's all our military guys who do all the shooting.
If you're around anything that explodes, if you feel a
wave that hit you in the face, it was doing
the damage to you. Fighter pilots, anybody who's doing bank terms,
they haven't probably dealing with it the worst, especially our
(12:21):
aircraft carrier guys. People that take off and land on
those aircraft carriers. And then the one that got me,
that I caught me off guard is the guys who
want a little skipper boats, the little coast guard boats
that just bouncing it, but they're going like two hundred
miles hour on the water.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
They have it really bad too. They have a bad too.
Speaker 5 (12:40):
But I've also met some people who do the the
pressure they jump out of the planets. They said every
time they land, they were always hitting their heads, you know.
So it's a lot of different things. In the military,
you can unless you were the cook, more likely you
probably were around all that stuff.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Yeah, it's the micro traumas, you know, the like you
you attribute to shaking baby syndrome, as well as big blasts,
as well as actually hitting your head. So, you know,
because people think I didn't have a brain injury, I wasn't.
I never got hit in the head or I never
you know, But it's it's all the combination of those things.
It's the the jarring of the brain inside the head.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
I'm at the point of my life where I've had
so many Like if somebody ruined me, I'm I'm gonna
get a concussion from just whiplash.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
So yeah, you know, we all deal with it, and
everybody's buy is a little bit different.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Yeah yeah, And the paratroopers, Like, like you said, there's
a couple of different opportunities with the paratroopers the skydivers,
you know, the people who are jumping out with So
it could be if they got a heart opening, right
even just with their parachute let alone yeah, let alone
their landing with all that gear on them and all
that stuff. And if they, you know, go to do
a PLF, which is a parachute landing fall and they
(13:58):
instead they end up hitting their heads.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
Where where you get that one for us?
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Parish landings? For I was skydiving was my sport for
a while.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
So oh hey, hey wait wait wait wait wait, you're
getting into that. I'm getting involved with this one. I
have a picture here in my office when I did
Pair of Sailing People And this is the one time
real it was at nice one that started that way.
I was, let me tell you my sister in lawn
Jeanette Bob and never do it after I got doubt
(14:30):
with my first act and they didn't want to see
the second one. So get that. This is the story
time and then after this segment, Candy does the station
break and then Jen and Candy will take care of
mass murders in high military. But now I'm pulling this one.
You're bringing up parent parachute really terrissly really all right here,
So let's go back in time here when I was
(14:50):
young or way younger than this, and go to Acapoco, Mexico.
Bad enough. I didn't know how to say senior, right.
I said, hey, Senior, I need to get some information, senior,
and she's letting my tronlage that laughing so hard man,
Scotch SoRs, I look at my way better than everybody's
laughing at man. It's just like, I mean, they had
a sense a humor wine with way younger than I am. Now,
(15:12):
so I have heard my brother and another friend his
name is Ronnie Grant, and my brother went there to
see me. Do pair say, well, get this? I go
way up there, and I'm telling you, this is the
most interesting experience I've ever seen in my life. Man. Now,
as I come down, I didn't understand the instructions. Time
to go ahead, release the stupid things like I'm maka
(15:35):
season landing. I'm thinking listen one or two things is
gonna happen here. You know, I'm gonna land down, land
on you. The bet damn gannaball I could come up with,
and I couldn't release that stupid thing and said, well,
I'm going for the cannon ball trick. It's dead. I
concede it.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Here.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
I'm three hundred and fifty feet up there, I mean
up there, and I could poco people. And I tell
you it was the most fun cannonball in the world.
I tell you, I knew a planet for that can invall.
And yeah, I hit my head pretty hard, but that
wasn't too bad. So I went there and buckle my
knees up. You know this is as good as that. Well,
I liked my hard boiled egg for three minutes, which
(16:12):
was bad a few weeks ago, and now my parasailing experience,
even tax exit situation. I knew I was going down.
I could see everything around me, and I landed right
in the middle of the water and I got help
to get out of there, and they were yelling me,
I don't know what you're saying, but here you go.
And then my brother and my sister she was Scott,
what did you just do? I had. I had a
(16:33):
heck of a time. She then says to me, I'm
never doing this after watching you again, So I mean,
you know this is a parasaling. Well you did it,
so you know what. Because of what she just said
in that situation, I had to challenge myself. You know,
I didn't do this very good the first time, so
I decided that I asked him if they want to
go on. So I did it deliberately to go again
(16:56):
and do this activity. And I did land barely right
on the shore because I figured it out the second time.
A boy that was building big splash and one big cannonball.
And then this day, even though I have Alzheimer's, I'm
still talking about it. And now I got an oh
great something all right, Candy any thought before he turned
(17:19):
over the candy first station breakdown, I can't imagine that one.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
That I got something. We we got to add to that.
Speaker 5 (17:32):
As matter of fact, I'm so confident about the hyperbreakoxes helping.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
I was speaking to a military uh.
Speaker 5 (17:40):
I mean, he wasn't a poet, but he's a military
guy from a great Britain and he told me it's
illegal for them to go deep sea diving and uh
in the UK, he said, But a lot of their
pilots have a whole lot of issues, the same ones
that we were talking about today, he said.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
And what they do.
Speaker 5 (17:55):
They go to this little island. And meanwhile, why he's
telling me the story. We hadn't even this us hap
to bird gotch you? He says, no anything about it?
Speaker 1 (18:03):
He said one question?
Speaker 6 (18:04):
Yeah, yeah, absolutely, How do you mess up a good story.
I've give it in a hard time. I'm getting a preview.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
What do you think for it? Later?
Speaker 4 (18:18):
All right, I'll check this out.
Speaker 5 (18:19):
So what he said, Okay, they take these pilots to
this little island somewhere, and then he said, they go
down and they deep see that. They go down there
for a long long time. They just stit down there,
he said, for a long, long long time. He was
really exaggerating a long and I was getting goosebumps while
he's telling me the story. And when he finished, I
(18:41):
was like, I said, do you see that thing right
here behind me? That's my hyperbird chamber. Every time I
get in it, it's called a dive. And so we
are actually simulating the same thing. So the pilots in
Europe are actually getting treatment by going diving, where we're
doing it over here with the chamber MH is just
another confirmation that country's dealing with the same issues, same
(19:05):
missions deal over here. They're doing it by diving in
the water, and we're doing it by corner this thing.
And I've just barely connected those dots a few days ago.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
It's slowly, I'm telling these pieces are coming. They're coming together.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
We'll talk about the science behind that when Candy's done
with her promo.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Yeah, well there you go. Can break? I take a
break anyway for a couple segments, and then Jenny's Candy
and Will can think oh or go ahead can?
Speaker 2 (19:31):

of you that are listening to it on the audio version,
it's go fundme slash ninety three FF nine C six e.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Back to you, Scott, No, actually, back to you Candy.
Candy and Jennifer are going to talk about math murders
and high military than when we get done here, if
you want to reference that article that Jennifer sent find
all the Candy can put the link for people to
do that on their own, and then Canny will talk
about her takeaways and wrap up and we'll get ready
for the sports to change. After I go out there
(22:09):
and continue to absorb everything, I'm about to get hit with.
And boy, there's a pun intended with that analogy. All right,
I'm going to turn it over to two of the
little beautiful women thereon that Jennifer and Candy go ahead,
mass murderers isn't beautiful? The YouTube got two are anyway
and I'm military and suicide. Right, I'm turning over to you,
Golad can go for it. Jen, I.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Yeah. No, mass murdering
is not anything beautiful at all. It's quite disturbing. It
doesn't matter how many people are murdered. Murder is is
extremely awful. And it's one of the reasons that we're
here talking about the connection between military veterans and CTE overall.
And William has enlightened me so much. To show the symptoms. William,
(22:56):
we want to talk about what happened just this summer,
Justice sum and then we can back up into how
you knew it was CTE and stuff like that.
Speaker 5 (23:06):
Well, I've been looking at this thing so long and
so hard because I've been forced to. But I can
kind of see it in people's eyes now, like I
can if I have a talk with somebody out and
they will start talking out, I don't know if they're
kind of off now, like I can really see it.
It's it's it's so predictable. It's so predictable. A matter
of fact, was this summer we were talking, it was
(23:27):
about six eight weeks ago there was that mass shooting
in New York and uh so the next time I
went to court, I was telling I was telling people that,
you know, we got a problem that we have to
get ahead of.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
So if you actually go on my TikTok channel. I
was wearing a red TV USA shirt.
Speaker 5 (23:45):
My phone was going crazy that day, so I put
a video so my phone was stop bring and I
told people, guys, we have to get ahead of this thing.
There's gonna be a quote me, fact check me, fact
check me. I said, there's gonna be a way of
military shooters coming and we got to do something to
get it end of this. And so I told the
judge that same day. And when I came out, I
spoke to a few people on the corner steps. My publicist,
(24:07):
there was a documentary producer, My girlfriend was there, and then.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
A couple of other people that same thing I just said.
I just repeated it.
Speaker 5 (24:15):
So one week later, we had a guy going to
the bar and Anakina, Montana, and he shot four people
and he went off hiding in the woods, and they called.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
Him one week later. He was he was hiding the
woods like Rainbow, just like the movie.
Speaker 5 (24:30):
They called him one week later as they called him
an active military guy went on to his military base
and he shot up some of his comrades. I don't
know if that has the right word to use right there,
but he shot up some of the people on the base.
And then three weeks later we had another veteran go
up to a warming church in Minnesota, and what he
(24:51):
did he burned up half the church.
Speaker 4 (24:54):
He set it on fire. Then he went around to
the other side and he started shooting. So when they
stopped him, were still people missing, but they were using
military tactics.
Speaker 5 (25:04):
Now, like that's what this is, and like everything I
said was gonna happen is is already happening because this
thing is so predictable.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
You know.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
I'm sorry, Yeah, no, I was just gonna say. One
of the things that you talked about was we you
know the military, these military veterans are trained killers. Yes,
they come back, their brain gets confused. Yeah, can you
elaborate on all of that, like how it starts unraveling
and then what they don't know who the enemy is
or they you know what I mean, where you're living
(25:36):
in that confusion? Can you talk about that confusion what
you were living with, right, so how you know how
to relate it to what they might be going through.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Well.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
I was when I was going through that my worst.
Speaker 5 (25:49):
I mean, I laid on the ground and I couldn't
commits even though my teammates were committing suicide.
Speaker 4 (25:54):
I knew they were. I wanted to, but I couldn't
lead that trauma for my family. I know what that is.
Speaker 5 (26:00):
And so I made a deal with God, like you
just have to come get me, and then that's what
it is. I said, it won't be so hard on
my family if you come get me, because it's just
my time. So every day and I make that prayer
every day I woke up. I was just not a
happy guy. I was just like, because your brain, when
you're in there, once this sneaks up on you. Like
I started with these random days of cloudiness.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
It was very random, and they slowly, slowly, slowly turned
into random days of clarity.
Speaker 5 (26:28):
I was cloudy all the time. And when you get there,
like I just gave up, like I couldn't do anything.
I was just I felt like mister magoo. I didn't
want to drive my car anymore. I parked the motorcycle
and I just didn't want to hurt anybody else, you know,
and once you you just kind.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
Of give up. And so my brain was stuck in
this loop. It was telling me every day it's time
to go. You got to get out of here. Everybody
else is killing themselves, you can go too. I think
the riggiest part that saved me one, I didn't want
to put that trouble on the family. That's number one.
Speaker 5 (27:00):
And then number two was I was a counselor, and
I always taught people, like hundreds of people I've talked
this little trick I had, if today's a great day
to commit suicide, tomorrow will also be a great day.
So it always buys you one more day. And so
that was stuck on loop in my head too the
whole time, and it saved me. It spared me, and
it until I found help. But the sad part is
(27:24):
it took for too many friends to take their life
before I figured it out. Yeah, and you can't recognize it.
You won't recognize it yourself.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
I'm sorry, Yeah, no.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
No, you're I mean you were talking about, you know,
the military shooters, so you're seeing like like the I
think it was the Michigan or the Minnesota one. I
think I forget which one. Montana might have been the
Montana one before his niece came on. Yeah, And his
niece said, no, he didn't. He went into the military. Fine,
and this happened while he was in the military, and
(27:55):
he developed a mental health disorder, right, but he's stayed
in the military. And she said, and he came out
a whole different person. And then there was a number
of things that you related to. And you said, see
that that brain injury, brain injury, brain injury.
Speaker 5 (28:11):
Yeah, because they say the same things over and nowhere
all matter of fact, everybody say the same thing. They were,
they were fine, and they just begin not to act
like themselves or they were gentle giant until you know
there they weren't anymore. For the last eight NFL suicides,
I believe it's the last eight that I checked. Those
guys were living separate from their wife. Now that everybody
(28:34):
goes to the separation because they're two I won't say
two dangerous, but I'm pretty sure if they're acting erratic,
these women are nervous for their own safety, so they leave.
Speaker 4 (28:46):
I get it.
Speaker 5 (28:47):
But the ones who did stay home with the family,
he was usually living in the back room by himself,
and the whole family just kind of just revolve around
him and slides food under the door kind of thing.
Like it's the same thing all or over.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
So I have a question for you, William, because you
talk about that it's they're acting out of character or
they're they're different, they're acting different.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
What is that? I mean?
Speaker 2 (29:10):
And I know what it's different for everybody, but as
an innocent bystander, as a family member, like what does
that kind of what are some of the trigger points
that might you know? Is it all of a sudden
something triggers them and their rage level goes from zero
to sixty where it never used to, Like what little
(29:31):
yeah things?
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Can you know?
Speaker 2 (29:33):
So they recognize it because just because someone acts out
of character, I mean they could be I hate to
say this, they could be taking drugs, They could be too,
they could.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
Be doing different things.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
What kind of might it be? So people recognize and say, hey, wait,
this might be something more serious that we need to
get checked out.
Speaker 5 (29:51):
Well, it's usually that it's that erratic behavior, okay, and
impulsivity they're doing things. It's like for me doing COVID
about cars because I just had to have these cars
for some reason, like the only thing let's save my
butt I should have lost my Everybody needed cars and
they were paying more for cars used than they were
(30:11):
brand new. So I always get made my money back.
But I wasn't doing it to sell cars. I just
felt like I had to have this thing, and that
all my brain is fixated on.
Speaker 4 (30:21):
I gotta get this car.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
I got this car.
Speaker 4 (30:23):
So I tropped the car. I had to have got
electric car, drove the Saint Louis see my family that
I want to go see my kids in Utah. So
I rented a duringo or suv. And this because during COVID,
nobody wanted to go in the hotel. So I slept
in the back of the truck. I woke up. I
was so refreshed.
Speaker 5 (30:39):
I was like, wow, now I need an suv, you know.
And so got rid of electric car. Now I got
the suv. It's just madness. I was just making poor
decisions over and over. These football players, they're going broke
when they get out the sport. And I believe this
has a lot to do with it too, because you don't.
I learned to put things in place for myself, and
(31:01):
one of the things was like I was an electric
electrical engineering student, so I love math before I leave
the house every day, I gave myself a math problem.
If I couldn't solved a problem in my head. I
knew on that day not to buy anything big, not
to sign any contracts, and not to make any commitments.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
And so.
Speaker 4 (31:22):
That became my life, just learning to live with this
thing because it's it will break you. It will break you.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
Talking about would put a strain or a stress on
like a relationship, like especially if like you were married,
like all of a sudden to have, you know, to
be I have to watch like every move they make,
like you. You have to take control of the finances,
like because obviously you know what you're saying, You're gonna
(31:49):
go out and buy cars, like not everybody can afford that,
especially in.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Mm hmm okay, yeah, stop me.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Yeah, the social aspects as well, right, Like you kind
of you end up removing yourself from social activities. You
might be angry a lot, you might be explosive in
your personality and not in a good way.
Speaker 5 (32:16):
You become a recluse. We all do, and it's not
even because we want to. It's just because we don't
have that energy to get up and do something. Like
I was living on the floor in my place, and yeah,
I just didn't have an ygy to go do anything.
Like I actually go to a lot of parties at
Jamie Fox's house. Like I wouldn't even go to learn anymore.
Speaker 4 (32:34):
I know I'm staying home. I don't want to go.
I don't.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
Yeah, and talk about your sleep patterns.
Speaker 5 (32:41):
Man, You know what when I first symptoms was kicking in.
When I left Team USA, I was dealing with the
people at Own Patrol. It's guy named Bill Shaeffer. I
had put Jamie Fox at this song came out, was
like blaming on the alcohol.
Speaker 4 (32:53):
So I get a product placement for those guys, right,
And so Bill Shaeffer, we just went on the phone
talking all the time. Uh, he's he's the number one.
Speaker 5 (33:01):
Guy underneath Jean Jean, Paul, the guy who owns Patron
and Paul Mitchell. And he was telling me like, because
I had assamia, I started with insomnia. I was just
starting to chill it all.
Speaker 4 (33:14):
Night and I was like, man, I just can't sleep.
Speaker 5 (33:16):
You know, he ain't just talking me down, you know,
we just having a good conversation. But I realized that's
one of the things that really gets people when you
the first of all, you stop sleeping, and.
Speaker 4 (33:26):
That brain starts doing something real funky because it's not
getting the rest it needs.
Speaker 5 (33:30):
But then I was it was still early before a
lot of my big symptoms kicked in, but it was
the precursor because once you stopped sleeping, like, yeah, now
things get a little bit weird on you.
Speaker 3 (33:42):
And when you first started dating Angela, what time were
you waking up?
Speaker 1 (33:46):
Three in the afternoon?
Speaker 4 (33:48):
Yeah, three, three pm?
Speaker 5 (33:50):
Yeah, Because I yeah, I had to keep a bottle
of a thermos of either black coffee or cocola the
night's day, every night because I know if I didn't
have that, I'm like up the next day.
Speaker 4 (34:01):
But I'll tell you, even when it comes to you
mentioned relationships, I had three.
Speaker 5 (34:05):
I had these white boards on my wall because I
knew every day when I woke up, I didn't know
what the real day was, so I always had to check.
So once I figured out the day, then I had
to figure out what the month is. It was always
January or August for some reason.
Speaker 4 (34:17):
Salot.
Speaker 5 (34:18):
Once again, it's that loop that your brain is stuck in.
So once I do that, I watch to my living room.
I had this eight foot long white boards like scrolls,
and I sat them in three sections like work, doctor's appointments,
and dates, and I needed one for dates because this
is what I've figured out. This is how I figured
(34:39):
it out. Like let's say today is Monday, right, and
you called me up and say, hey, well let's go
have lunch on Tuesday. I'll be like, oh yeah, sure,
it sounds good. So it's gonna be our first day.
I'm supposed to meet you on Tuesday. So she goes
to the place.
Speaker 4 (34:56):
This is the next day. It's Tuesday. She's called me,
I'm here, where you at?
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Where you at?
Speaker 5 (35:01):
She said, I'm at the place, and I'm just thinking, like,
what are you doing there? And so what I realized,
if you told me tuesday, Tuesday is like a month away.
I can't even see Tuesday. So if you tell me
meet me tomorrow, I'm gonna be there every day on time.
But for some reason, our clocks are off. Yeah, our
(35:22):
clocks get switched up. And so those are things some
of the symptoms you're dealing with. And then you get
to the point where you can't focus, especially when you
stop sleeping. So all these adults now believe they have
adult ADHD we're getting it at forty and fifty years old.
Speaker 4 (35:37):
No, No, that's not really what's going on. I don't believe.
I believe it's the from the hair trauma.
Speaker 3 (35:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (35:47):
And let's circle back around to the high military suicide rates.
And I mean, so now we've dealt with we dealt
a little bit with the high suicide rates. Then we
dealt a little bit with they're not always just suicide.
Sometimes they're taking other people with them, or they're or
they're lost in confusion, and so they think that they
don't they don't know who the enemy is, right, So
(36:08):
maybe they're taking people because they think it's their job.
But here they are over here not on job, you know.
So there's there's a lot and candy if you want
to bring some of those statistics back up again, because
they are no joke. I mean, this is five hundred
and twenty three service members died by suicide in just
(36:29):
twenty twenty three alone.
Speaker 5 (36:32):
No, that numbers not right, No, it's that number. That
number should be Okay, Well, no, I don't have twenty
twenty three.
Speaker 4 (36:39):
I have twenty. I stopped at twenty twenty two. I
couldn't find twenty twenty three's numbers.
Speaker 3 (36:44):
Yeah, yeah, these are from what are what are the
documents that they're from. Let me find that out where
we got these, because those right.
Speaker 4 (36:53):
Around sixty four hundred for the first three years, That
for twenty twenty eight, twenty twenty one, and twenty twenty two.
So unless that number dropped down a little bit in
twenty twenty three, I'm not sure.
Speaker 1 (37:04):
So. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
Well, I have up right now talks about the US
military suicide crisis, and it shows if you can see
the graph, the graph shows the percent of people that
thought of that considered taking their life before they joined
the military. Is the smaller the light gray numbers, like
(37:27):
for the first one it was six percent, and then
the darker blue shows the percentage after they've since joining
the military and how it went from six percent to
thirty one percent, and the next one was six percent
to forty percent.
Speaker 4 (37:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (37:44):
Yeah, And the Department of Defense suicide puts out the
Department of Defense puts out a suicide Event report, and
so that one was from the Annual Report on Suicide
in the Military. And there's another report where we got
statistics from, which is goodness, let me see it's uh, well,
(38:10):
it's somewhere it's the purple one. All right, I lost it.
Speaker 4 (38:16):
Yeah, I found in a few different places.
Speaker 3 (38:18):
Candy, I sent it. Yeah, I don't know. Well, it's well.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
And this one says the Department of Veterans Affairs estimates
that there are more than nineteen million Americans who were veterans.
Over ten thousand veteran offenders were in the custody of
the Federal Bureau of Prisons at the end of twenty nineteen,
accounting for almost six percent of all inmates.
Speaker 4 (38:41):
Wow, I've even looked at that part of it. That's disturbing.
Speaker 1 (38:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (38:47):
The other report is called the Crime in Armed Forces.
And so both of those documents are online and you
can grab them and it shows these graphs, these these
exact graph charts and and and I think the main
point is recognize when something is off, that's the time
(39:09):
to explore. Like they're making eu ratic decisions. They're just
not acting like themselves. They're suddenly much grumpier, you know, angry,
and you're thinking, what did I do? You know, but
maybe the cognition doesn't seem quite right. Can't get up
off the couch, can't get up off the floor, can't
get up out of bed staring off into space.
Speaker 5 (39:31):
Man, that's the one I used to get me the most.
I would be at work and I'll catch myself just
just doing this for no reason. I don't know what
I'm thinking about. I don't know what I'm looking at.
Then I'll catch myself like, what what the hell was
I doing?
Speaker 4 (39:43):
Yeah? Yeah, Oh, I hated that one.
Speaker 3 (39:47):
Vertigo was a bad one that you had.
Speaker 4 (39:50):
Yeah, you have vertico migraines, like yeah, like sensitivity, sensitive smells,
sensitive sounds.
Speaker 2 (40:01):
I was sensitive to sound because like when you're watching
like a program on TV and how the commercials come
up so much louder than the actual program.
Speaker 4 (40:10):
Yeah. I went to the movies last two weeks ago.
I literally had to take cotton balls and stick them
with my ears.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
Well, actually, what I do in this situation that I
did turn the volume off and put the uh the
TV back on. I mean, let's fakes reality. I'm noing
sensitive nowadays. And if I don't want to watch anything
on my I have limitations. I'm done and the TV
goes off, or I want to watch the personal mute.
There's that thing called mute. Okay, m ute, can'titalize it
(40:36):
if at whatever, and that's when it comes out noise. Mute.
There you go. That's my two cents.
Speaker 4 (40:43):
Noise that you try to mute that that that theater
I was in, it will be a mute.
Speaker 5 (40:50):
Me.
Speaker 1 (40:52):
Let me tell you something. I'm the Italian stallion, you
know me. I think it's something else. I follow and
I'll say mute and no, all right, continue, all right?
Speaker 3 (41:04):
So uh, candy, she would go back to the like,
put up the GoFundMe again. And the reason, you know,
and William William opened this go fund me really so
that he could raise the money to buy a medical
grade hyperbaric oxygen chamber to open his own CTE Recovery
(41:25):
center where athletes, military and civilians who are suffering with
these symptoms can get help at no cost to them.
Tell everybody why that's important to you, William.
Speaker 5 (41:39):
Well, it's important to me because the main reason when
the first time I tried hyperbera, it wiped my cloudness
off for six days and I was clear for the
first time in many, many years, maybe ten, fifteen, twenty years.
Speaker 4 (41:51):
I have to do the math. But and then I
went back to the second time. Then let me come
back in for free, because I was a teen USA athlete,
and so second time I went back, I was clear
for nine days. Now I know this machine was working,
but also I needed twenty.
Speaker 5 (42:05):
Thousand dollars to buy one, and I didn't have it.
I had just bought a home, and so now I
needed medicine. My medicine was that chamber, and I couldn't
afford it. And so what I did is I eventually
got so cloud again. I forgot that thing existed, and
I just kept telling myself, eventually I'll get the money
and I will be okay. But my dad woind up,
(42:26):
stepping up. I saw what was going on, and he
sent me the money to go purchase the machine. But like, man,
it's like once you get over there and that cloudness
kicks in, you have no control. You forget, like I was,
forgetting everything. Like people will reminded me of stories. I'd
be like, oh wow, I forgot about that, you know.
(42:49):
I mean, it really majors things that happened to me
in my life. But I tell you it's just CT
is very unforgiving. And I would say it's the love ones.
The loved will have to help you, because they will
not the athletes, the victims, the veterans, they will not
know what it is. They won't see it on themselves,
and only you can can be there to save them because.
Speaker 4 (43:11):
We just we just can't see it.
Speaker 3 (43:13):
You know.
Speaker 4 (43:13):
It's easy for us seeing other people, but we can't
see it in ourselves. And I've seen that over and
over and over, starting with myself.
Speaker 3 (43:21):
Yeah, and it's the helplessness, the hopelessness.
Speaker 5 (43:27):
No you and you get to the point where you're
actually almost like you're not in a vegetative, vegetative state
or anything. But like, if I'm to a group of
my friends, I'm not gonna be talking very much. I
can participate if they asked me a question, but I
just won't be coming up with things to talk about.
I would just kind of be faded. I'm like faded
into the back of the room. And that's what this
(43:49):
thing is. It's just you're just holding on for dear life,
you know, and you don't know something's really that wrong
for me. Like I said, I always thought it was diabetes,
and I was so far from the truth, so so
so far from the truth.
Speaker 2 (44:04):
Yeah, and William didn't, weren't you saying earlier that some
of the veterans have been misdiagnosed with PTSD and some
of these other ailments, and it's actually CTE or brain
trauma that they really needed to.
Speaker 4 (44:21):
Yeah, well they've actually admitted that some of that. A
lot of the veterans do have ct They have been
admitting that now, so it's not like it's a hidden
it's not being hidden anymore.
Speaker 5 (44:32):
But in the past, you know it's been hidden. But
also those same people also had a diagnosis of PTSD,
So I really believe that PTSD is a misdiagnosis. This
is not a it's really not a mental health issue.
Speaker 4 (44:46):
It's not mental health.
Speaker 5 (44:47):
It's a physical injury that has not been resolved. That's
why it took me one hour in the chamber for
me to wake up and start seeing colors again, it's
not a mental health Talk about.
Speaker 3 (44:59):
The chamber a bit, How does it work? How did
that clear your head?
Speaker 5 (45:04):
Well, the science behind it, the way I understand it,
it makes you think that your body's a minimum seven
to nine feet underwater, depending on what pressure chamber you
use it. And so now that means all the blood
and oxygen can get through all the blockages and go everywhere.
So really ox dating all of your sales, and so
that thing is a blessing for it. It's more than
just for mental stuff. It's you know, if you're dealing
(45:26):
with cancer, you know, they put you in there. If
you're dealing with all Alzheimer's, they puts you in there.
If you're dealing with strokes, they put.
Speaker 4 (45:33):
You in there. Reverse. Yeah, So its not it's been
around since the eighteen hundred, so it's not new stuff.
Speaker 1 (45:41):
Really.
Speaker 4 (45:41):
Yeah, it's been around forever.
Speaker 3 (45:44):
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has been around since the eighteen hundreds.
That's what they say. Absolutely interesting. I've never known that,
never have known that. I thought it was interesting when
you were talking about the military in Europe and how
they bring people to do a dive underwater, and really
what happens is the lower you go underwater, the pressure
(46:05):
of the pressure from that, which is why it's called
a hyperbaric oxygen chamber because it's hyperbaric because it's compressing.
So it's taking what is normally and oxygen molecule is
normally a very large molecule and it shrinks it down
through that compression, and the smaller that molecule can get,
the more areas it can get to so with CTE,
(46:27):
one of the things or brain injury overall, one of
the things that you're dealing with is inflammation in the brain,
and it could be inflammation anywhere in your body. Like
William said, hyperbaric oxygen therapy works on a number of modalities,
but that what it does is that when the oxygen
molecule is so small, it can penetrate into areas it
normally can't get to. And so it's sort of like
(46:49):
cleaning out like the pipes, right, Yeah, cleaning out the
airways so that you can think clearly again, and then
the inflammation starts again, and so you have to get
a hold of that. Now, talk about your your recovery center.
What is your vision for the recovery center? How do
you really how do you see it as a CTE
recovery center.
Speaker 4 (47:07):
Well, I want about I want about two or three
at least three chambers. That's what I'm shooting for this
company right now, who's talking about me. They want they
want to team up and we're going to see if
we can make it work or not. But they want
to build me a six person chamber. So they could
build me a six person chamber. And if I'm open
eight hours a day.
Speaker 5 (47:26):
That's forty eight people we can we can treat per day,
you know, And so I want to It's real simple.
I want to send them through the same treatment that
woke me up, the same treatment that woke up Joe Namath.
And uh, like I said, he's he's a to me.
He's the leader of this movement because he started it.
Without him, I, you know, I didn't know anything about it.
(47:47):
So I just try to get a credit where it's due.
Is I'm not the I'm not the guy who started this.
Speaker 4 (47:53):
Uh, there's many people doing it all around the country,
but it's just so expensive and I'm really just trying
to cut that price. And because it's just think if
you need some people need to have two sessions a
day for thirty days.
Speaker 5 (48:06):
So if you're paying two hundred dollars per hour per session,
there's a lot of money for some people. They just
can't afward that money upfront. And then if you're like
me or I have to continue to use the machine,
Like I'm over five hundred hours in here, so five
hundred times two hundred, man, Man, I've already got my
money's worth. So yeah, but you just they think it's
(48:29):
priceless and it's so simple, And I'm just thinking about
all those soldiers who had the same symptoms as me
if they had gone through this treatment. It's not a treatment,
I'm sorry, it's a therapy. It's a therapy. You go
through the therapy. I'm pretty sure that they probably would
have waken up just like me and the rest of
the other people who are doing this. So I'm not
(48:50):
the only one, guys, I'm not the only one. I'm
just the only one that's trying to do it for free.
Speaker 3 (48:55):
And yeah, it's certainly a modality that can help. There
are a hyperbaric oxygen chambers throughout the country. A lot
of chiropractors and medspas might have them in their in
their services. So if you have the funds, not everybody
needs twice a day for thirty straight days, but some
people do, right, And so one of the things that
you want to offer is is this free room and
(49:17):
board where your center is going to be, so someone
can stay for that whole extended time period. And then
plus the chamber, plus you know, the food that's going
to take you know, because it's room and board and
everything else, and plus the maintenance you know, and whatever
to get them there. And so this go fund me
that you've opened up is to fund all these things
(49:39):
to help as many military veterans and anybody who's suffering
from this as much as possible. So if you want
help and you know that you can't afford the full treatment,
donate to Williams go fund me so that we can
get this thing off the ground. Because the whole point
is as soon as he gets one chain that is
(50:01):
medical grade right so that can handle the volume he
needs the medical grade, he has a personal chamber right now,
it's not the same, you know, to be able to
do the volume and to be able to treat people
as quickly. But once he has that, even that first chamber,
he's going to open his doors. And it's really really important.
There are avenues for military veterans to get help with
(50:24):
hyperberic oxygen therapy in particular. You know, maybe a Google
search can help. There are some other organizations, but William
is the one who's wanting to do it for free,
and he's trying to do this and this GoFundMe is
the way, and it's really room and board and travel
and everything complete, so that so that the veteran can heal.
Speaker 5 (50:44):
Yeah, and there's people who've spoken to him like they
want to invest, and I'm not taking outside money. It
has to be because if I if I take outside money,
I'm going to have to pay that money back, which
means I'm out to charge, you know, And so that's
what I don't want to do. It has to be
a free service otherwise people won't come. In matter of fact,
the last I think our last five mass shootings were.
Speaker 4 (51:06):
All related to CTE. If you do the homework, was
all CTE related.
Speaker 5 (51:10):
So we had a point in our country where you know,
no matter where you go, whether it's kindergarten or to
a concert, you're always there's always a threat of being
shot here now, so and I believe it's all related
to this never ever treating head injuries well with William.
Speaker 2 (51:30):
With that being said, I want to wrap this all
up because I really you know, Veterans Day is coming
up next week Tuesday, and so a we want to
say Happy Veterans Day to all of those that have served.
And if you have served, and if you feel that
you are have any symptoms or have any issues like this,
please reach out for help, whether it be and if
(51:53):
you feel it in your heart too, you know, to
help William with his trying to help all these people
for free, please, you know, if it's in your heart,
go to this go fund me. It's go fund me
nine three slash nine three ff nine c six e.
Again for those that are listening to the audio version
(52:13):
of it, go fund me slash ninety three ff nine
C six e. He's trying to raise money and it's
such a great cause. There are so many people that
it could benefit from that, and that's the beauty. Like
it's not he's not just helping those that are athletes
that maybe have funds, not just the you know, military,
(52:34):
but anybody that needs this help. That's what he's really
trying to help. Is anybody that needs this therapy. But yeah,
I mean I think there's a lot of different organization
or not organizations, but people that need this kind of help. Yes,
there's military and people that we don't even think of,
(52:56):
you know, as we're talking about this, and I think
this is gonna be really unusual. But if you think
about it, if you when you were a kid and
you went to an amusement park and you went on
bumper cars, the reason the thing that you wanted to do,
is you wanted to bump and hit people. And I'm
thinking like maybe maybe that caused some people to have,
(53:17):
you know, brain trauma that we don't never recognized before.
Or go karts when you crash, and all these little
things that you can do that can happen to you
that can give you this brain trauma that people don't
know and realize. So this can happen to anybody, And
I hainte that's one of my biggest takeaways. You know,
(53:38):
we talked and really talked about the military today because
that's the focus with Veterans Day coming up. But it's
not limited to veterans. It's not limited to Bob's letters
or NFL players like you know, I mean one of
the shooters played high school football and that's where that happened,
you know. So, I mean that's one of my biggest takeaways.
(54:00):
It can happen from any different aspect that we really
have to think about that and we really have to
watch for signs in loved ones. They aren't going to
recognize it necessarily.
Speaker 1 (54:14):
Well, that does it for this edition of No Limits Candy,
one more Station Break Sports exchange at the top of
the hour. I want to get to that mean want

(54:36):
I'm going Sandy push station break and see what happened

me nine to three FF nine C six E William,
(56:09):
this was a great show. I mean I really when
I started in my career, I started working on a
VA in a VA hospital, and I saw lots of
veterans and near and dear to my heart because let's
face it, they laid all of it on the line
for us so I can walk around, I can do
(56:31):
what I you know, want to do. So thank you
for bringing that awareness to me, because I really didn't
know what was as bad as it really is.
Speaker 4 (56:39):
Oh, oh, very welcome.
Speaker 1 (56:40):
Well, we hope we've brought awareness to something that's very
very important. Can't disregard our veterans. One of my One
of these days, maybe I'll get it. My friend Steve
ballistian a show like this as a veteran as well.
He actually covers the New England Patriots part time, and
he's been through it as well. We did a Veteran
Day show up with him on the Network all the
time ago. He's right now busy out in being Fort
(57:01):
Myers area doing some other stuff. But I got other
things I want to work to see. But meanwhile, that
does conclude this edition of No Limits on behalf of

portuge change at the top of the hour. Have a
great week, everybody. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (57:48):
To all the veterans, thank you.
Good evening, everybody. I'll walk another digit of no. I
have no limits with my voice, although it will probably
be more limits onner than most people think tonight because
I opened the first segment. I'll let the crew take
over the rest, and then I button it up to
the end and actually try to do something I used
to doing. Shut shut up, motor mouth. So that what
the experts take care of it. You have to just
(00:43):
tell myself to shut up. Yeah, you know, more time
than most people think, even though nobody's around here at
home when I'm by myself all day thinking about it.
Because it's just me, the walls and this, you can't
fucking root so the okay, them all lot either until
Candy gets back and they're begging for food. Okay, Well
that said, let me introduce the crew. Obviously we have
our continually study on CTE, but we take it to
a different level and we're dealing with the military and
(01:05):
Veterans Day themes talking about brain injury and CTE. But
that said, Candy Evey, welcome back.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Thanks Scott, it's great to be here.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
And Jennifer welcome.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Back, thank you, happy to be here.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
And William it gets me toy tonight, the low key
version early and then the high key version later. William
Percha and everything that you get hit with tonight.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
We'll we'll find out.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Confidence is a beautiful thing when you say yes, okay,
it's a beautiful thing. Sure to make sure, yeah, okay.
I run quite a show, a wild wild Southeast here
on nine o'clock on the Sports Exchange. I have a
wild crew lined up in a don't to dare message.
As they used to say, the big tent, the the
(01:56):
wrestling circles back that they don't dare mix it. That
was what they used to say big time wrestling back then. Well,
I don't know if they have any shows pertaining wrestling
on when it comes to this, you never know. We'll
think that something else is Apollo Creed would say, what's Stallion?
You don't mean stell. You're not thinking something else? Apollo Creed,
rocket or you have it all right? Not stick to
(02:17):
the veterans day name. Why should I be a veteran?
I got sixty three years old. I show it not
called social security. I was once too old to go
ahead and join the army. When I met Tom Lasorda,
I said, Tommy, I'm a veteran, I should go in there,
but now they were checking that out too old. Yeah,
but I'm a veteran. Say no, no, no, no, yeah, we're
(02:37):
age restrictions when you're eighteen plants and they like otherwise
you stuck out here with me. But I know you
do good there, Scottie, Tommy, will sort of everybody in
the book. All right, let's get back to the veteran's
day military focus. All right, I'll put it out there.
What makes you think so many veterans are battling cd
HE and other brain injuries like you are, William?
Speaker 4 (02:59):
He said, why do I think so?
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (03:02):
Yeah, oh well, I'm glad you asked that question. But
I've had to live this thing. I've lived it. I
had to live with it for It's like I had
to live the perfect life for this thing to come
full circle from me knowing about mental health, from working
in mental health to watching the athletes start to suffer
(03:23):
and along that way, like, I've met a lot of
military guys, so I had a lot of love for
the military guys. One of my teammates who took his life,
he was my driver in the World Championship, Stephen Hoping.
He's won every Olympic medal for the men's side since
two thousand and three, and he took his life at
the training Centema and he was always so good to me.
And so as I started seeing the symptoms line up
(03:46):
with like from the veterans, the football athletes, the Bob's letters,
all the symptoms are the same. So this last weekend
I was working on putting together a graph that shows
that I think like something telling me, like the world
is not connecting the dots, and I'm just trying to
connect those dots so we can get get everybody some help.
(04:09):
And the other strikech thing, I just realized, Yeah, looking
at that chront right there, if you look at the
middle partners and suicide depression tvi CTE, there's a whole
There's quite a few more things that can go in there,
like the anxiety, and but it's it's almost it's almost
like it's being smoke swept under the rug a little bit.
And I'm not sure if people really connecting the dots.
(04:32):
I only connected them because, like I see what their
symptoms are. I know what my symptoms are, and I
know how I rebounded, how I got up off that floor,
and like I said, I always give Joe name with
all that credit for it, Like I didn't create this,
I'm just following what he spoke about.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
And it worked.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
And then I found there's pockets of companies all around
the United States doing this, like one from the military
is called treatnow dot org. Like there's people out here
who know these things are working. And man, I did
some research this weekend, and I knew that was a
high suicide rate on our veterans, but I didn't know
it was that high.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
Like, man, let me look at the real numbers here.
For twenty twenty that was six two.
Speaker 5 (05:17):
Hundred and seventy eight suicides.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
For twenty twenty one, it was six thousand, three hundred
and ninety For twenty twenty two, six.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
Four hundred and seven veterans took their life. And then
I've just blown away. I had no idea. I had
no idea it was twenty thousand veterans within three years
took their life. And now that I know what the
symptoms are and I know how to rebound from this thing,
Like I.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
Wanted how many of those people cool we have saved?
How many?
Speaker 5 (05:50):
It's very simple treatment. If it's going to work, it's
gonna work. If it's not, then it's not. But it's
you have to least try. We have to least try
and get these people to help that they need.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
So let me let me go. All right, I thought
I'll talk about the symptoms, how do identify what to
look for? And I'll go ahead and write this one
jen based on that outline, then you can incorporate after
the last point, how does that sound transition over here?
So let's go back to the symptoms. How do identify
what to look for?
Speaker 5 (06:21):
Well, the best one it's gonna come from your loved ones,
because everybody's gonna be a little bit different. And so
what you have, but what you have noticed is uh,
every NFL suicide or or veteran suicide or or veteran
instance doing the mass shootings, like all they loved ones
said the same things. They were acting different than normal.
(06:42):
So everybody's simptom is gonna look a little bit different.
But for me, mine was I thought I had adult ADHD.
You're heard that a lot, uh for a lot of us.
We'll go we'll start having sleep ADNET where you didn't
have that problem before. Is it something in the brain
that doesn't shift And a matter of fact, when I
went to do my sleep study, the lady didn't know
my background, and I said, why does this stuff happen
(07:03):
all of a sudden and she said, well, some people
have like hand injuries. And I was like, okay, need
not say no more. I just don't wait your brath.
I already know where you're going. She didn't know, She
didn't know my situation. She was a text, you know.
And so it's the same symptoms over and over. Anxiety.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Yeah, one of you were speaking with a former military
person over the weekend, right, and you got a text
from from somebody. What did that text say? Like, what
were some of the symptoms that this person was going through?
They didn't have a brain agree, what did they have?
Speaker 5 (07:33):
Well, he had the cloudiness like me, And he said that, hey,
wait a minute, I'm I played football, now I'm in
the military. Now I'm having this cloudiness like you've been
talking about. Uh, you know, what can I do to
get rid of this? How can you help me? That's
kind of what he was asking.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
And he was saying, what did he shot mortars or
what was it that he did?
Speaker 5 (07:52):
Yeah, I think it was something with the shooting the
shooting of the guns. So if you look at all
of the see the government's been well put this one.
The military has been forthcoming with some of the information,
like the people who are having the struggles, which is
the pilots, anybody who shot the big artillery or anybody's
around that thing would or like something explodes, and that wave,
(08:15):
that wave is equivalent to repeated it repetitive head injuries.
It's the same thing, you know, and as we know,
most of our injuries, it comes from practice. So if
you're out there practicing shooting that gun, you know.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
You're gonna get it. You're gonna get it.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
And so we know that repetitive micro traumas, right, yeah,
with every shot.
Speaker 5 (08:40):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know exactly, yeah, yep. So but
we do know about those guys, so we know it's
the artillery guys, people who did the work with artillery.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
Sorry my speech is a little slurring a little bit,
but uh yeah.
Speaker 5 (08:53):
And then we got a fighter pilots for sure, and
the guys on those speed boats that you know, the
wave skippers. Those are the highest ones. Oh, in our
aircraft carriers are number one. If you flew off of
an aircraft carrier, it's that that that joked when you're
taking off of when you when they're stopping you, because
that brain wants to keep moving with that wire snatches
(09:14):
it andmpluys you back. That's all the same stuff. And
so if you look at all those groups and talk
to any of those people, you can get all the
same symptoms over and over and over. And I think
I've kind of connected some more dots on it. Like
I was looking at I was thinking about all my injuries.
You know, anytime you pull a hamstring, you know, there's
(09:36):
a there's a process to healing the body. So anytime
you get any kind of injury, the fluid always rushes
to that area to protect it. So with the hamstrings,
you know, of course they're gonna you know, dig in
it and make you cold.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
They know we do.
Speaker 5 (09:51):
They do ice first seventy two hours, then they do
heat alternating, then they do electric stimulation you might do atupuncture,
and then at the very end they always going with
the elbow and they dig into that that little knot.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
They break up all the scartch issue in there.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
But what I realized is whenever you had brain issues,
they don't do anything. So we're sitting here with a
ticking time bomb in our country with anybody who's ever
had a head injury, which is probably every boy and
every American boy, with the stuff that we'd be doing
jumping off with bikes and jumping out of trees and
(10:28):
falling out of trees and fighting, you know, and so
the issues we just haven't dealt with them. And I
think that's the problem that we're running.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Into, right And those intense headaches I think are a
key sign right where talk about the headaches and the.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
Well, last weekend, I ignored my headache.
Speaker 5 (10:46):
I knew it was coming, and I told people it
was coming, and I just refused to do what I
was supposed to do to make it go away. So
that was on a Thursday, and so I could kick
them full time. On Friday, Saturday, four thirty money old Sunday,
I went to the er and I was give a
double ivy double ivy.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Bag just because I ignored it. You know.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
But those those migraines are so dangerous because sometimes they
lead to the aneurysms, and so that's scary. Whenever I
get those headaches. That's that's the one thing I'm concerned about.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Yeah, Olden Blake. I've heard a lot of things about those.
Are one more thing I'm gonna ask. I'm gonna turn
over to Jennifer and Candy. How do brain injuries tend
to happen in the military? And which jobs or activities
tend to lead to the two part question. After I
get there asking these questions, I'll turn and will you
menswer those directly as they asked you, and then I'll
(11:39):
let Jennifer and Candy take over.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
So you said, which which jobs in the military?
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Okay, so here, how do brain injuries tend to happen
in the military, Which is the first part of it,
And the follow up is which jobs or activities tend
to lead to this?
Speaker 4 (11:54):
Well, from what I understand, like, I don't know all
the military jobs.
Speaker 5 (11:58):
I know the ones that people have been reaching out
to me, and I know what they were doing. So
it's all our military guys who do all the shooting.
If you're around anything that explodes, if you feel a
wave that hit you in the face, it was doing
the damage to you. Fighter pilots, anybody who's doing bank terms,
they haven't probably dealing with it the worst, especially our
(12:21):
aircraft carrier guys. People that take off and land on
those aircraft carriers. And then the one that got me,
that I caught me off guard is the guys who
want a little skipper boats, the little coast guard boats
that just bouncing it, but they're going like two hundred
miles hour on the water.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
They have it really bad too. They have a bad too.
Speaker 5 (12:40):
But I've also met some people who do the the
pressure they jump out of the planets. They said every
time they land, they were always hitting their heads, you know.
So it's a lot of different things. In the military,
you can unless you were the cook, more likely you
probably were around all that stuff.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Yeah, it's the micro traumas, you know, the like you
you attribute to shaking baby syndrome, as well as big blasts,
as well as actually hitting your head. So, you know,
because people think I didn't have a brain injury, I wasn't.
I never got hit in the head or I never
you know, But it's it's all the combination of those things.
It's the the jarring of the brain inside the head.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
I'm at the point of my life where I've had
so many Like if somebody ruined me, I'm I'm gonna
get a concussion from just whiplash.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
So yeah, you know, we all deal with it, and
everybody's buy is a little bit different.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Yeah yeah, And the paratroopers, Like, like you said, there's
a couple of different opportunities with the paratroopers the skydivers,
you know, the people who are jumping out with So
it could be if they got a heart opening, right
even just with their parachute let alone yeah, let alone
their landing with all that gear on them and all
that stuff. And if they, you know, go to do
a PLF, which is a parachute landing fall and they
(13:58):
instead they end up hitting their heads.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
Where where you get that one for us?
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Parish landings? For I was skydiving was my sport for
a while.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
So oh hey, hey wait wait wait wait wait, you're
getting into that. I'm getting involved with this one. I
have a picture here in my office when I did
Pair of Sailing People And this is the one time
real it was at nice one that started that way.
I was, let me tell you my sister in lawn
Jeanette Bob and never do it after I got doubt
(14:30):
with my first act and they didn't want to see
the second one. So get that. This is the story
time and then after this segment, Candy does the station
break and then Jen and Candy will take care of
mass murders in high military. But now I'm pulling this one.
You're bringing up parent parachute really terrissly really all right here,
So let's go back in time here when I was
(14:50):
young or way younger than this, and go to Acapoco, Mexico.
Bad enough. I didn't know how to say senior, right.
I said, hey, Senior, I need to get some information, senior,
and she's letting my tronlage that laughing so hard man,
Scotch SoRs, I look at my way better than everybody's
laughing at man. It's just like, I mean, they had
a sense a humor wine with way younger than I am. Now,
(15:12):
so I have heard my brother and another friend his
name is Ronnie Grant, and my brother went there to
see me. Do pair say, well, get this? I go
way up there, and I'm telling you, this is the
most interesting experience I've ever seen in my life. Man. Now,
as I come down, I didn't understand the instructions. Time
to go ahead, release the stupid things like I'm maka
(15:35):
season landing. I'm thinking listen one or two things is
gonna happen here. You know, I'm gonna land down, land
on you. The bet damn gannaball I could come up with,
and I couldn't release that stupid thing and said, well,
I'm going for the cannon ball trick. It's dead. I
concede it.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Here.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
I'm three hundred and fifty feet up there, I mean
up there, and I could poco people. And I tell
you it was the most fun cannonball in the world.
I tell you, I knew a planet for that can invall.
And yeah, I hit my head pretty hard, but that
wasn't too bad. So I went there and buckle my
knees up. You know this is as good as that. Well,
I liked my hard boiled egg for three minutes, which
(16:12):
was bad a few weeks ago, and now my parasailing experience,
even tax exit situation. I knew I was going down.
I could see everything around me, and I landed right
in the middle of the water and I got help
to get out of there, and they were yelling me,
I don't know what you're saying, but here you go.
And then my brother and my sister she was Scott,
what did you just do? I had. I had a
(16:33):
heck of a time. She then says to me, I'm
never doing this after watching you again, So I mean,
you know this is a parasaling. Well you did it,
so you know what. Because of what she just said
in that situation, I had to challenge myself. You know,
I didn't do this very good the first time, so
I decided that I asked him if they want to
go on. So I did it deliberately to go again
(16:56):
and do this activity. And I did land barely right
on the shore because I figured it out the second time.
A boy that was building big splash and one big cannonball.
And then this day, even though I have Alzheimer's, I'm
still talking about it. And now I got an oh
great something all right, Candy any thought before he turned
(17:19):
over the candy first station breakdown, I can't imagine that one.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
That I got something. We we got to add to that.
Speaker 5 (17:32):
As matter of fact, I'm so confident about the hyperbreakoxes helping.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
I was speaking to a military uh.
Speaker 5 (17:40):
I mean, he wasn't a poet, but he's a military
guy from a great Britain and he told me it's
illegal for them to go deep sea diving and uh
in the UK, he said, But a lot of their
pilots have a whole lot of issues, the same ones
that we were talking about today, he said.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
And what they do.
Speaker 5 (17:55):
They go to this little island. And meanwhile, why he's
telling me the story. We hadn't even this us hap
to bird gotch you? He says, no anything about it?
Speaker 1 (18:03):
He said one question?
Speaker 6 (18:04):
Yeah, yeah, absolutely, How do you mess up a good story.
I've give it in a hard time. I'm getting a preview.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
What do you think for it? Later?
Speaker 4 (18:18):
All right, I'll check this out.
Speaker 5 (18:19):
So what he said, Okay, they take these pilots to
this little island somewhere, and then he said, they go
down and they deep see that. They go down there
for a long long time. They just stit down there,
he said, for a long, long long time. He was
really exaggerating a long and I was getting goosebumps while
he's telling me the story. And when he finished, I
(18:41):
was like, I said, do you see that thing right
here behind me? That's my hyperbird chamber. Every time I
get in it, it's called a dive. And so we
are actually simulating the same thing. So the pilots in
Europe are actually getting treatment by going diving, where we're
doing it over here with the chamber MH is just
another confirmation that country's dealing with the same issues, same
(19:05):
missions deal over here. They're doing it by diving in
the water, and we're doing it by corner this thing.
And I've just barely connected those dots a few days ago.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
It's slowly, I'm telling these pieces are coming. They're coming together.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
We'll talk about the science behind that when Candy's done
with her promo.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Yeah, well there you go. Can break? I take a
break anyway for a couple segments, and then Jenny's Candy
and Will can think oh or go ahead can?
Speaker 2 (19:31):

Speaker 1 (21:47):
Back to you, Scott, No, actually, back to you Candy.
Candy and Jennifer are going to talk about math murders
and high military than when we get done here, if
you want to reference that article that Jennifer sent find
all the Candy can put the link for people to
do that on their own, and then Canny will talk
about her takeaways and wrap up and we'll get ready
for the sports to change. After I go out there
(22:09):
and continue to absorb everything, I'm about to get hit with.
And boy, there's a pun intended with that analogy. All right,
I'm going to turn it over to two of the
little beautiful women thereon that Jennifer and Candy go ahead,
mass murderers isn't beautiful? The YouTube got two are anyway
and I'm military and suicide. Right, I'm turning over to you,
Golad can go for it. Jen, I.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Yeah. No, mass murdering
is not anything beautiful at all. It's quite disturbing. It
doesn't matter how many people are murdered. Murder is is
extremely awful. And it's one of the reasons that we're
here talking about the connection between military veterans and CTE overall.
And William has enlightened me so much. To show the symptoms. William,
(22:56):
we want to talk about what happened just this summer,
Justice sum and then we can back up into how
you knew it was CTE and stuff like that.
Speaker 5 (23:06):
Well, I've been looking at this thing so long and
so hard because I've been forced to. But I can
kind of see it in people's eyes now, like I
can if I have a talk with somebody out and
they will start talking out, I don't know if they're
kind of off now, like I can really see it.
It's it's it's so predictable. It's so predictable. A matter
of fact, was this summer we were talking, it was
(23:27):
about six eight weeks ago there was that mass shooting
in New York and uh so the next time I
went to court, I was telling I was telling people that,
you know, we got a problem that we have to
get ahead of.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
So if you actually go on my TikTok channel. I
was wearing a red TV USA shirt.
Speaker 5 (23:45):
My phone was going crazy that day, so I put
a video so my phone was stop bring and I
told people, guys, we have to get ahead of this thing.
There's gonna be a quote me, fact check me, fact
check me. I said, there's gonna be a way of
military shooters coming and we got to do something to
get it end of this. And so I told the
judge that same day. And when I came out, I
spoke to a few people on the corner steps. My publicist,
(24:07):
there was a documentary producer, My girlfriend was there, and then.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
A couple of other people that same thing I just said.
I just repeated it.
Speaker 5 (24:15):
So one week later, we had a guy going to
the bar and Anakina, Montana, and he shot four people
and he went off hiding in the woods, and they called.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
Him one week later. He was he was hiding the
woods like Rainbow, just like the movie.
Speaker 5 (24:30):
They called him one week later as they called him
an active military guy went on to his military base
and he shot up some of his comrades. I don't
know if that has the right word to use right there,
but he shot up some of the people on the base.
And then three weeks later we had another veteran go
up to a warming church in Minnesota, and what he
(24:51):
did he burned up half the church.
Speaker 4 (24:54):
He set it on fire. Then he went around to
the other side and he started shooting. So when they
stopped him, were still people missing, but they were using
military tactics.
Speaker 5 (25:04):
Now, like that's what this is, and like everything I
said was gonna happen is is already happening because this
thing is so predictable.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
You know.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
I'm sorry, Yeah, no, I was just gonna say. One
of the things that you talked about was we you
know the military, these military veterans are trained killers. Yes,
they come back, their brain gets confused. Yeah, can you
elaborate on all of that, like how it starts unraveling
and then what they don't know who the enemy is
or they you know what I mean, where you're living
(25:36):
in that confusion? Can you talk about that confusion what
you were living with, right, so how you know how
to relate it to what they might be going through.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Well.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
I was when I was going through that my worst.
Speaker 5 (25:49):
I mean, I laid on the ground and I couldn't
commits even though my teammates were committing suicide.
Speaker 4 (25:54):
I knew they were. I wanted to, but I couldn't
lead that trauma for my family. I know what that is.
Speaker 5 (26:00):
And so I made a deal with God, like you
just have to come get me, and then that's what
it is. I said, it won't be so hard on
my family if you come get me, because it's just
my time. So every day and I make that prayer
every day I woke up. I was just not a
happy guy. I was just like, because your brain, when
you're in there, once this sneaks up on you. Like
I started with these random days of cloudiness.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
It was very random, and they slowly, slowly, slowly turned
into random days of clarity.
Speaker 5 (26:28):
I was cloudy all the time. And when you get there,
like I just gave up, like I couldn't do anything.
I was just I felt like mister magoo. I didn't
want to drive my car anymore. I parked the motorcycle
and I just didn't want to hurt anybody else, you know,
and once you you just kind.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
Of give up. And so my brain was stuck in
this loop. It was telling me every day it's time
to go. You got to get out of here. Everybody
else is killing themselves, you can go too. I think
the riggiest part that saved me one, I didn't want
to put that trouble on the family. That's number one.
Speaker 5 (27:00):
And then number two was I was a counselor, and
I always taught people, like hundreds of people I've talked
this little trick I had, if today's a great day
to commit suicide, tomorrow will also be a great day.
So it always buys you one more day. And so
that was stuck on loop in my head too the
whole time, and it saved me. It spared me, and
it until I found help. But the sad part is
(27:24):
it took for too many friends to take their life
before I figured it out. Yeah, and you can't recognize it.
You won't recognize it yourself.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
I'm sorry, Yeah, no.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
No, you're I mean you were talking about, you know,
the military shooters, so you're seeing like like the I
think it was the Michigan or the Minnesota one. I
think I forget which one. Montana might have been the
Montana one before his niece came on. Yeah, And his
niece said, no, he didn't. He went into the military. Fine,
and this happened while he was in the military, and
(27:55):
he developed a mental health disorder, right, but he's stayed
in the military. And she said, and he came out
a whole different person. And then there was a number
of things that you related to. And you said, see
that that brain injury, brain injury, brain injury.
Speaker 5 (28:11):
Yeah, because they say the same things over and nowhere
all matter of fact, everybody say the same thing. They were,
they were fine, and they just begin not to act
like themselves or they were gentle giant until you know
there they weren't anymore. For the last eight NFL suicides,
I believe it's the last eight that I checked. Those
guys were living separate from their wife. Now that everybody
(28:34):
goes to the separation because they're two I won't say
two dangerous, but I'm pretty sure if they're acting erratic,
these women are nervous for their own safety, so they leave.
Speaker 4 (28:46):
I get it.
Speaker 5 (28:47):
But the ones who did stay home with the family,
he was usually living in the back room by himself,
and the whole family just kind of just revolve around
him and slides food under the door kind of thing.
Like it's the same thing all or over.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
So I have a question for you, William, because you
talk about that it's they're acting out of character or
they're they're different, they're acting different.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
What is that? I mean?
Speaker 2 (29:10):
And I know what it's different for everybody, but as
an innocent bystander, as a family member, like what does
that kind of what are some of the trigger points
that might you know? Is it all of a sudden
something triggers them and their rage level goes from zero
to sixty where it never used to, Like what little
(29:31):
yeah things?
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Can you know?
Speaker 2 (29:33):
So they recognize it because just because someone acts out
of character, I mean they could be I hate to
say this, they could be taking drugs, They could be too,
they could.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
Be doing different things.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
What kind of might it be? So people recognize and say, hey, wait,
this might be something more serious that we need to
get checked out.
Speaker 5 (29:51):
Well, it's usually that it's that erratic behavior, okay, and
impulsivity they're doing things. It's like for me doing COVID
about cars because I just had to have these cars
for some reason, like the only thing let's save my
butt I should have lost my Everybody needed cars and
they were paying more for cars used than they were
(30:11):
brand new. So I always get made my money back.
But I wasn't doing it to sell cars. I just
felt like I had to have this thing, and that
all my brain is fixated on.
Speaker 4 (30:21):
I gotta get this car.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
I got this car.
Speaker 4 (30:23):
So I tropped the car. I had to have got
electric car, drove the Saint Louis see my family that
I want to go see my kids in Utah. So
I rented a duringo or suv. And this because during COVID,
nobody wanted to go in the hotel. So I slept
in the back of the truck. I woke up. I
was so refreshed.
Speaker 5 (30:39):
I was like, wow, now I need an suv, you know.
And so got rid of electric car. Now I got
the suv. It's just madness. I was just making poor
decisions over and over. These football players, they're going broke
when they get out the sport. And I believe this
has a lot to do with it too, because you don't.
I learned to put things in place for myself, and
(31:01):
one of the things was like I was an electric
electrical engineering student, so I love math before I leave
the house every day, I gave myself a math problem.
If I couldn't solved a problem in my head. I
knew on that day not to buy anything big, not
to sign any contracts, and not to make any commitments.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
And so.
Speaker 4 (31:22):
That became my life, just learning to live with this
thing because it's it will break you. It will break you.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
Talking about would put a strain or a stress on
like a relationship, like especially if like you were married,
like all of a sudden to have, you know, to
be I have to watch like every move they make,
like you. You have to take control of the finances,
like because obviously you know what you're saying, You're gonna
(31:49):
go out and buy cars, like not everybody can afford that,
especially in.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Mm hmm okay, yeah, stop me.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Yeah, the social aspects as well, right, Like you kind
of you end up removing yourself from social activities. You
might be angry a lot, you might be explosive in
your personality and not in a good way.
Speaker 5 (32:16):
You become a recluse. We all do, and it's not
even because we want to. It's just because we don't
have that energy to get up and do something. Like
I was living on the floor in my place, and yeah,
I just didn't have an ygy to go do anything.
Like I actually go to a lot of parties at
Jamie Fox's house. Like I wouldn't even go to learn anymore.
Speaker 4 (32:34):
I know I'm staying home. I don't want to go.
I don't.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
Yeah, and talk about your sleep patterns.
Speaker 5 (32:41):
Man, You know what when I first symptoms was kicking in.
When I left Team USA, I was dealing with the
people at Own Patrol. It's guy named Bill Shaeffer. I
had put Jamie Fox at this song came out, was
like blaming on the alcohol.
Speaker 4 (32:53):
So I get a product placement for those guys, right,
And so Bill Shaeffer, we just went on the phone
talking all the time. Uh, he's he's the number one.
Speaker 5 (33:01):
Guy underneath Jean Jean, Paul, the guy who owns Patron
and Paul Mitchell. And he was telling me like, because
I had assamia, I started with insomnia. I was just
starting to chill it all.
Speaker 4 (33:14):
Night and I was like, man, I just can't sleep.
Speaker 5 (33:16):
You know, he ain't just talking me down, you know,
we just having a good conversation. But I realized that's
one of the things that really gets people when you
the first of all, you stop sleeping, and.
Speaker 4 (33:26):
That brain starts doing something real funky because it's not
getting the rest it needs.
Speaker 5 (33:30):
But then I was it was still early before a
lot of my big symptoms kicked in, but it was
the precursor because once you stopped sleeping, like, yeah, now
things get a little bit weird on you.
Speaker 3 (33:42):
And when you first started dating Angela, what time were
you waking up?
Speaker 1 (33:46):
Three in the afternoon?
Speaker 4 (33:48):
Yeah, three, three pm?
Speaker 5 (33:50):
Yeah, Because I yeah, I had to keep a bottle
of a thermos of either black coffee or cocola the
night's day, every night because I know if I didn't
have that, I'm like up the next day.
Speaker 4 (34:01):
But I'll tell you, even when it comes to you
mentioned relationships, I had three.
Speaker 5 (34:05):
I had these white boards on my wall because I
knew every day when I woke up, I didn't know
what the real day was, so I always had to check.
So once I figured out the day, then I had
to figure out what the month is. It was always
January or August for some reason.
Speaker 4 (34:17):
Salot.
Speaker 5 (34:18):
Once again, it's that loop that your brain is stuck in.
So once I do that, I watch to my living room.
I had this eight foot long white boards like scrolls,
and I sat them in three sections like work, doctor's appointments,
and dates, and I needed one for dates because this
is what I've figured out. This is how I figured
(34:39):
it out. Like let's say today is Monday, right, and
you called me up and say, hey, well let's go
have lunch on Tuesday. I'll be like, oh yeah, sure,
it sounds good. So it's gonna be our first day.
I'm supposed to meet you on Tuesday. So she goes
to the place.
Speaker 4 (34:56):
This is the next day. It's Tuesday. She's called me,
I'm here, where you at?
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Where you at?
Speaker 5 (35:01):
She said, I'm at the place, and I'm just thinking, like,
what are you doing there? And so what I realized,
if you told me tuesday, Tuesday is like a month away.
I can't even see Tuesday. So if you tell me
meet me tomorrow, I'm gonna be there every day on time.
But for some reason, our clocks are off. Yeah, our
(35:22):
clocks get switched up. And so those are things some
of the symptoms you're dealing with. And then you get
to the point where you can't focus, especially when you
stop sleeping. So all these adults now believe they have
adult ADHD we're getting it at forty and fifty years old.
Speaker 4 (35:37):
No, No, that's not really what's going on. I don't believe.
I believe it's the from the hair trauma.
Speaker 3 (35:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (35:47):
And let's circle back around to the high military suicide rates.
And I mean, so now we've dealt with we dealt
a little bit with the high suicide rates. Then we
dealt a little bit with they're not always just suicide.
Sometimes they're taking other people with them, or they're or
they're lost in confusion, and so they think that they
don't they don't know who the enemy is, right, So
(36:08):
maybe they're taking people because they think it's their job.
But here they are over here not on job, you know.
So there's there's a lot and candy if you want
to bring some of those statistics back up again, because
they are no joke. I mean, this is five hundred
and twenty three service members died by suicide in just
(36:29):
twenty twenty three alone.
Speaker 5 (36:32):
No, that numbers not right, No, it's that number. That
number should be Okay, Well, no, I don't have twenty
twenty three.
Speaker 4 (36:39):
I have twenty. I stopped at twenty twenty two. I
couldn't find twenty twenty three's numbers.
Speaker 3 (36:44):
Yeah, yeah, these are from what are what are the
documents that they're from. Let me find that out where
we got these, because those right.
Speaker 4 (36:53):
Around sixty four hundred for the first three years, That
for twenty twenty eight, twenty twenty one, and twenty twenty two.
So unless that number dropped down a little bit in
twenty twenty three, I'm not sure.
Speaker 1 (37:04):
So. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
Well, I have up right now talks about the US
military suicide crisis, and it shows if you can see
the graph, the graph shows the percent of people that
thought of that considered taking their life before they joined
the military. Is the smaller the light gray numbers, like
(37:27):
for the first one it was six percent, and then
the darker blue shows the percentage after they've since joining
the military and how it went from six percent to
thirty one percent, and the next one was six percent
to forty percent.
Speaker 4 (37:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (37:44):
Yeah, And the Department of Defense suicide puts out the
Department of Defense puts out a suicide Event report, and
so that one was from the Annual Report on Suicide
in the Military. And there's another report where we got
statistics from, which is goodness, let me see it's uh, well,
(38:10):
it's somewhere it's the purple one. All right, I lost it.
Speaker 4 (38:16):
Yeah, I found in a few different places.
Speaker 3 (38:18):
Candy, I sent it. Yeah, I don't know. Well, it's well.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
And this one says the Department of Veterans Affairs estimates
that there are more than nineteen million Americans who were veterans.
Over ten thousand veteran offenders were in the custody of
the Federal Bureau of Prisons at the end of twenty nineteen,
accounting for almost six percent of all inmates.
Speaker 4 (38:41):
Wow, I've even looked at that part of it. That's disturbing.
Speaker 1 (38:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (38:47):
The other report is called the Crime in Armed Forces.
And so both of those documents are online and you
can grab them and it shows these graphs, these these
exact graph charts and and and I think the main
point is recognize when something is off, that's the time
(39:09):
to explore. Like they're making eu ratic decisions. They're just
not acting like themselves. They're suddenly much grumpier, you know, angry,
and you're thinking, what did I do? You know, but
maybe the cognition doesn't seem quite right. Can't get up
off the couch, can't get up off the floor, can't
get up out of bed staring off into space.
Speaker 5 (39:31):
Man, that's the one I used to get me the most.
I would be at work and I'll catch myself just
just doing this for no reason. I don't know what
I'm thinking about. I don't know what I'm looking at.
Then I'll catch myself like, what what the hell was
I doing?
Speaker 4 (39:43):
Yeah? Yeah, Oh, I hated that one.
Speaker 3 (39:47):
Vertigo was a bad one that you had.
Speaker 4 (39:50):
Yeah, you have vertico migraines, like yeah, like sensitivity, sensitive smells,
sensitive sounds.
Speaker 2 (40:01):
I was sensitive to sound because like when you're watching
like a program on TV and how the commercials come
up so much louder than the actual program.
Speaker 4 (40:10):
Yeah. I went to the movies last two weeks ago.
I literally had to take cotton balls and stick them
with my ears.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
Well, actually, what I do in this situation that I
did turn the volume off and put the uh the
TV back on. I mean, let's fakes reality. I'm noing
sensitive nowadays. And if I don't want to watch anything
on my I have limitations. I'm done and the TV
goes off, or I want to watch the personal mute.
There's that thing called mute. Okay, m ute, can'titalize it
(40:36):
if at whatever, and that's when it comes out noise. Mute.
There you go. That's my two cents.
Speaker 4 (40:43):
Noise that you try to mute that that that theater
I was in, it will be a mute.
Speaker 5 (40:50):
Me.
Speaker 1 (40:52):
Let me tell you something. I'm the Italian stallion, you
know me. I think it's something else. I follow and
I'll say mute and no, all right, continue, all right?
Speaker 3 (41:04):
So uh, candy, she would go back to the like,
put up the GoFundMe again. And the reason, you know,
and William William opened this go fund me really so
that he could raise the money to buy a medical
grade hyperbaric oxygen chamber to open his own CTE Recovery
(41:25):
center where athletes, military and civilians who are suffering with
these symptoms can get help at no cost to them.
Tell everybody why that's important to you, William.
Speaker 5 (41:39):
Well, it's important to me because the main reason when
the first time I tried hyperbera, it wiped my cloudness
off for six days and I was clear for the
first time in many, many years, maybe ten, fifteen, twenty years.
Speaker 4 (41:51):
I have to do the math. But and then I
went back to the second time. Then let me come
back in for free, because I was a teen USA athlete,
and so second time I went back, I was clear
for nine days. Now I know this machine was working,
but also I needed twenty.
Speaker 5 (42:05):
Thousand dollars to buy one, and I didn't have it.
I had just bought a home, and so now I
needed medicine. My medicine was that chamber, and I couldn't
afford it. And so what I did is I eventually
got so cloud again. I forgot that thing existed, and
I just kept telling myself, eventually I'll get the money
and I will be okay. But my dad woind up,
(42:26):
stepping up. I saw what was going on, and he
sent me the money to go purchase the machine. But like, man,
it's like once you get over there and that cloudness
kicks in, you have no control. You forget, like I was,
forgetting everything. Like people will reminded me of stories. I'd
be like, oh wow, I forgot about that, you know.
(42:49):
I mean, it really majors things that happened to me
in my life. But I tell you it's just CT
is very unforgiving. And I would say it's the love ones.
The loved will have to help you, because they will
not the athletes, the victims, the veterans, they will not
know what it is. They won't see it on themselves,
and only you can can be there to save them because.
Speaker 4 (43:11):
We just we just can't see it.
Speaker 3 (43:13):
You know.
Speaker 4 (43:13):
It's easy for us seeing other people, but we can't
see it in ourselves. And I've seen that over and
over and over, starting with myself.
Speaker 3 (43:21):
Yeah, and it's the helplessness, the hopelessness.
Speaker 5 (43:27):
No you and you get to the point where you're
actually almost like you're not in a vegetative, vegetative state
or anything. But like, if I'm to a group of
my friends, I'm not gonna be talking very much. I
can participate if they asked me a question, but I
just won't be coming up with things to talk about.
I would just kind of be faded. I'm like faded
into the back of the room. And that's what this
(43:49):
thing is. It's just you're just holding on for dear life,
you know, and you don't know something's really that wrong
for me. Like I said, I always thought it was diabetes,
and I was so far from the truth, so so
so far from the truth.
Speaker 2 (44:04):
Yeah, and William didn't, weren't you saying earlier that some
of the veterans have been misdiagnosed with PTSD and some
of these other ailments, and it's actually CTE or brain
trauma that they really needed to.
Speaker 4 (44:21):
Yeah, well they've actually admitted that some of that. A
lot of the veterans do have ct They have been
admitting that now, so it's not like it's a hidden
it's not being hidden anymore.
Speaker 5 (44:32):
But in the past, you know it's been hidden. But
also those same people also had a diagnosis of PTSD,
So I really believe that PTSD is a misdiagnosis. This
is not a it's really not a mental health issue.
Speaker 4 (44:46):
It's not mental health.
Speaker 5 (44:47):
It's a physical injury that has not been resolved. That's
why it took me one hour in the chamber for
me to wake up and start seeing colors again, it's
not a mental health Talk about.
Speaker 3 (44:59):
The chamber a bit, How does it work? How did
that clear your head?
Speaker 5 (45:04):
Well, the science behind it, the way I understand it,
it makes you think that your body's a minimum seven
to nine feet underwater, depending on what pressure chamber you
use it. And so now that means all the blood
and oxygen can get through all the blockages and go everywhere.
So really ox dating all of your sales, and so
that thing is a blessing for it. It's more than
just for mental stuff. It's you know, if you're dealing
(45:26):
with cancer, you know, they put you in there. If
you're dealing with all Alzheimer's, they puts you in there.
If you're dealing with strokes, they put.
Speaker 4 (45:33):
You in there. Reverse. Yeah, So its not it's been
around since the eighteen hundred, so it's not new stuff.
Speaker 1 (45:41):
Really.
Speaker 4 (45:41):
Yeah, it's been around forever.
Speaker 3 (45:44):
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has been around since the eighteen hundreds.
That's what they say. Absolutely interesting. I've never known that,
never have known that. I thought it was interesting when
you were talking about the military in Europe and how
they bring people to do a dive underwater, and really
what happens is the lower you go underwater, the pressure
(46:05):
of the pressure from that, which is why it's called
a hyperbaric oxygen chamber because it's hyperbaric because it's compressing.
So it's taking what is normally and oxygen molecule is
normally a very large molecule and it shrinks it down
through that compression, and the smaller that molecule can get,
the more areas it can get to so with CTE,
(46:27):
one of the things or brain injury overall, one of
the things that you're dealing with is inflammation in the brain,
and it could be inflammation anywhere in your body. Like
William said, hyperbaric oxygen therapy works on a number of modalities,
but that what it does is that when the oxygen
molecule is so small, it can penetrate into areas it
normally can't get to. And so it's sort of like
(46:49):
cleaning out like the pipes, right, Yeah, cleaning out the
airways so that you can think clearly again, and then
the inflammation starts again, and so you have to get
a hold of that. Now, talk about your your recovery center.
What is your vision for the recovery center? How do
you really how do you see it as a CTE
recovery center.
Speaker 4 (47:07):
Well, I want about I want about two or three
at least three chambers. That's what I'm shooting for this
company right now, who's talking about me. They want they
want to team up and we're going to see if
we can make it work or not. But they want
to build me a six person chamber. So they could
build me a six person chamber. And if I'm open
eight hours a day.
Speaker 5 (47:26):
That's forty eight people we can we can treat per day,
you know, And so I want to It's real simple.
I want to send them through the same treatment that
woke me up, the same treatment that woke up Joe Namath.
And uh, like I said, he's he's a to me.
He's the leader of this movement because he started it.
Without him, I, you know, I didn't know anything about it.
(47:47):
So I just try to get a credit where it's due.
Is I'm not the I'm not the guy who started this.
Speaker 4 (47:53):
Uh, there's many people doing it all around the country,
but it's just so expensive and I'm really just trying
to cut that price. And because it's just think if
you need some people need to have two sessions a
day for thirty days.
Speaker 5 (48:06):
So if you're paying two hundred dollars per hour per session,
there's a lot of money for some people. They just
can't afward that money upfront. And then if you're like
me or I have to continue to use the machine,
Like I'm over five hundred hours in here, so five
hundred times two hundred, man, Man, I've already got my
money's worth. So yeah, but you just they think it's
(48:29):
priceless and it's so simple, And I'm just thinking about
all those soldiers who had the same symptoms as me
if they had gone through this treatment. It's not a treatment,
I'm sorry, it's a therapy. It's a therapy. You go
through the therapy. I'm pretty sure that they probably would
have waken up just like me and the rest of
the other people who are doing this. So I'm not
(48:50):
the only one, guys, I'm not the only one. I'm
just the only one that's trying to do it for free.
Speaker 3 (48:55):
And yeah, it's certainly a modality that can help. There
are a hyperbaric oxygen chambers throughout the country. A lot
of chiropractors and medspas might have them in their in
their services. So if you have the funds, not everybody
needs twice a day for thirty straight days, but some
people do, right, And so one of the things that
you want to offer is is this free room and
(49:17):
board where your center is going to be, so someone
can stay for that whole extended time period. And then
plus the chamber, plus you know, the food that's going
to take you know, because it's room and board and
everything else, and plus the maintenance you know, and whatever
to get them there. And so this go fund me
that you've opened up is to fund all these things
(49:39):
to help as many military veterans and anybody who's suffering
from this as much as possible. So if you want
help and you know that you can't afford the full treatment,
donate to Williams go fund me so that we can
get this thing off the ground. Because the whole point
is as soon as he gets one chain that is
(50:01):
medical grade right so that can handle the volume he
needs the medical grade, he has a personal chamber right now,
it's not the same, you know, to be able to
do the volume and to be able to treat people
as quickly. But once he has that, even that first chamber,
he's going to open his doors. And it's really really important.
There are avenues for military veterans to get help with
(50:24):
hyperberic oxygen therapy in particular. You know, maybe a Google
search can help. There are some other organizations, but William
is the one who's wanting to do it for free,
and he's trying to do this and this GoFundMe is
the way, and it's really room and board and travel
and everything complete, so that so that the veteran can heal.
Speaker 5 (50:44):
Yeah, and there's people who've spoken to him like they
want to invest, and I'm not taking outside money. It
has to be because if I if I take outside money,
I'm going to have to pay that money back, which
means I'm out to charge, you know, And so that's
what I don't want to do. It has to be
a free service otherwise people won't come. In matter of fact,
the last I think our last five mass shootings were.
Speaker 4 (51:06):
All related to CTE. If you do the homework, was
all CTE related.
Speaker 5 (51:10):
So we had a point in our country where you know,
no matter where you go, whether it's kindergarten or to
a concert, you're always there's always a threat of being
shot here now, so and I believe it's all related
to this never ever treating head injuries well with William.
Speaker 2 (51:30):
With that being said, I want to wrap this all
up because I really you know, Veterans Day is coming
up next week Tuesday, and so a we want to
say Happy Veterans Day to all of those that have served.
And if you have served, and if you feel that
you are have any symptoms or have any issues like this,
please reach out for help, whether it be and if
(51:53):
you feel it in your heart too, you know, to
help William with his trying to help all these people
for free, please, you know, if it's in your heart,
go to this go fund me. It's go fund me
nine three slash nine three ff nine c six e.
Again for those that are listening to the audio version
(52:13):
of it, go fund me slash ninety three ff nine
C six e. He's trying to raise money and it's
such a great cause. There are so many people that
it could benefit from that, and that's the beauty. Like
it's not he's not just helping those that are athletes
that maybe have funds, not just the you know, military,
(52:34):
but anybody that needs this help. That's what he's really
trying to help. Is anybody that needs this therapy. But yeah,
I mean I think there's a lot of different organization
or not organizations, but people that need this kind of help. Yes,
there's military and people that we don't even think of,
(52:56):
you know, as we're talking about this, and I think
this is gonna be really unusual. But if you think
about it, if you when you were a kid and
you went to an amusement park and you went on
bumper cars, the reason the thing that you wanted to do,
is you wanted to bump and hit people. And I'm
thinking like maybe maybe that caused some people to have,
(53:17):
you know, brain trauma that we don't never recognized before.
Or go karts when you crash, and all these little
things that you can do that can happen to you
that can give you this brain trauma that people don't
know and realize. So this can happen to anybody, And
I hainte that's one of my biggest takeaways. You know,
(53:38):
we talked and really talked about the military today because
that's the focus with Veterans Day coming up. But it's
not limited to veterans. It's not limited to Bob's letters
or NFL players like you know, I mean one of
the shooters played high school football and that's where that happened,
you know. So, I mean that's one of my biggest takeaways.
(54:00):
It can happen from any different aspect that we really
have to think about that and we really have to
watch for signs in loved ones. They aren't going to
recognize it necessarily.
Speaker 1 (54:14):
Well, that does it for this edition of No Limits Candy,
one more Station Break Sports exchange at the top of
the hour. I want to get to that mean want
to want to thank Jennifer and William pining On. But
guess what, William, you may be done talking about this,
but you're not done talking about what you're gonna get
hit with. AD is gonna be worse than bumper cars
and go cards, and you'll definitely be The Sports Exchange
is my version of the amusement park. And then so
(54:36):
I'm going Sandy push station break and see what happened
on quiet. I absorb it all there. You know's even
