Joe "CTE is the devil but mma should allow headbutts tho" Rogan

This is no joke! I’m all for letting people be aware of this. Someone very close to me had concussions and died of suicide. He played lacrosse since middle school and passed his sophomore year 4 weeks after a concussion. If only we knew about this maybe we could have helped him. Our lives are forever changed. Hopefully this helps someone anyone because it’s REAL and I wish I wasn’t writing this. But I am so no one has to go thru the heart break or suffering that CTE can cause not to just the athlete but everyone in their life.

"Brendan Schaub's brain looks like a walnut" -Joe Rogan

CTE - When you get cracked at the 50 and wake up workin' at Denny's.

This is why a lot of Jocks from Highscool end up being losers. Al Bundy style due to head trauma and being unstable

Of the 35ish people in my high school football/soccer team: 7 became straight-up drug addicts, mostly heroin, some are homeless, 3 of them died of drug overdose and/or alcohol poisoning 2 are jailbirds (low-level assault, theft, etc.), 1 is always homeless 2 guys committed suicide (of which one disfigured his pregnant fiancee before he did it) 2 are in mental institutions getting the help they need 1 guy is on bail for some rape/pedophilia-related stuff 1 guy changed his name, got weird plastic surgery, and became a crappy conceptual artist 1 guy joined ISIS, he's probably dead 1 guy became a highly successful attorney (yay!) 1 guy became a local Craigslist scammer 1 guy steals money from his mom to gamble 1 guy built his own million-dollar education company and is my best friend (yay!) 1 guy thinks he's a prophet of God, he's also kinda homeless And the rest are either leading mundane lives or I can't find them. Many go to therapists, get medicated, etc. But, hey, we got 3rd in divisionals (for soccer, we stunk at football), so definitely worth it! I'm just glad I was only the guy who controlled the scoreboard computer.

I feel bad for that guy. He was all happy for his kid and they just shat on him. Oh well though they were telling him to inform him not to be pricks

If you are listening and play high impact sports. Protect your head, make sure you rest after a head knock. Trust me, down the line the problems suck.

I played highschool football, and the team, that I played on, was always the best in the tri-county area. We did insane drills, where players got rocked hard every week. There is NO WAY my teammates don't have CTE. Many times, guys were puking and could barely walk straight, and the coaches always said, "Walk it off." Anything to beat the rival schools. GO PANTHERS!!!

I used to play full contact with no pads when I was a kid. I was playing with kids much older than me too. I remember a time in my life when I was a kid when I suffered from migraines and stuff too and I wonder if that was why. The worst part of it is that I didn't even like to play, but that's what all the other kids did so I played.

Joe is amazed at lacrosse.. imagine if he saw hurling!

Joe Rogan " Brendan Schuabs brain is a walnut" Tom Segura " yeah and if you talk to him, you know " 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

I feel bad for players like Austin Collie. His hit against the Eagles was the only time I actually thought someone died on the field. He had 4 severe concussions in 2 years and was told the next time he gets one it will kill him.

Joe “I change opinions every week” Rogan

I got lacrosse from head trauma CTE

As a sport and an industry soccer is in denial about the risks of head trauma. ALS has been shown to be massively more common in soccer players in Italy, but there's never been a cohort study done on this in the UK. Dementia is also far more common in soccer players but again there's a shocking lack of research. In truth, the sport doesn't want to know. It's probably worried about the inevitable tsunami of lawsuits.

Joe- the only NFL player i know is Hershel Walker -Rogan

“This hits you don’t see coming” when I was 7th grade I was playing contact football pads and all. As the ref blew the whistle ending the play, somebody charged me head down from behind hitting me in the back of the head with his head. I have never been so mad. No penalty, no nothing

Thank you for talking about this. I've set my share of water impulse charges to open a door, and been up close and personal with IEDs. Paul Stamets research into Lion's Mane has been helpful.

Played running back from elementary school through high school. By my senior year even the smallest hits to the head would cause me to get light headed and “see stars”

Lacrosse is the sport you try to play in the spring football offseason to stay in shape and break your collar bone lmao

CTE is the clique that I claim

Tennis athletic sport no concussions Tennis is tremendous for the body

So maybe this is the reason human history is so violent. They have found bog bodies hundreds/and thousands of years old with healed skull fratures. Massive damage.

I think I'm going to retire from Muay Thai fighting and sparring. I've only trained for the last 3 years but my memory and moods have begun to change. I've had 2 panic attacks in the last year and I've never even remotely showed symptoms before I started training. I originally thought it was from my excessive drinking binges but now I feel this is something that I also have to take seriously

Joe "I criticize football, but promote a sport where the objective is kicking and punching to the face" Rogan

i used to play lacrosse and most of the people weighed 50 pounds more than me. nearly every time i got bodychecked i would fly 6-8 feet back. lacrosse armor works very well to keep you from getting injured, but holy hell is it dangerous if you are strawweight and nearly everyone else is welterweight.

Jermaine Taylor former Undisputed Middleweight Boxing Champ one of the most saddest situations of CTE damage for sure

I was a 2nd string high school athlete on a good football team. I would play in garbage time when we were so for ahead i couldn't screw it up too bad. I distinctly remember getting knocked the hell out on a kickoff. I remember being on the sideline asking what the hell just happened.

"...And you talk to him. You kinda know" LOL

My husband plays rugby league here in New Zealand and the big hits are what people love to see but I always have in the back of my mind about cte hes been playing for years hes had loads of hard head knocks he had a xray once and part of his neck and spine have fused together from the knocks and his head going back

Joe “there’s some brain damage” Rogan

The guy who makes a living commentating people knocking each other out, is talking about high school sports being dangerous?

I played football as WR and but I'm lucky to not get too many helmet to helmet hits. But its really rough for other positions like linemen and RBs.

This is why baseball is the way to go. You have 40 year olds with multimillion dollar contracts that will actually be able to enjoy their retirement because they don’t have brain damage

Joe (every sport is dangerous but MMA) Rogan

I joined my local lacrosse team and just played my 1st game, I heard how rough it was so I was ready. When it started I took out the 3 closest people to me and everything went quiet, then a shuttlecock landed next to my foot.

i’ve had 5 concussions from motocross and football combined. Don’t regret a thing, most incredible experiences of my life and so many life lessons learned that i don’t believe you can learn anywhere else. Many things come with sacrifice. If it means my memory becomes shotty and other side effects show up in later in life so be it.

Glad I only played full pads 8th and 11th grade. Hard though, because I was obsessed for the longest time with FB more than anyone. Got bell rung once. Til end of junior year, if I ever had any contact to helmet at all, it got sore again in the same spot, middle on top of brain. Through winter and spring, and summer, I noticed it healing for good, not sore anymore. Decided not to play as a senior. Got neck and spine problems anyway from work, bulging discs, occipital neuralgia. Glad I didn't play anymore.

“BOOM” -Joe Rogan

I got CTE from watching idubbbztv

As a D1 FBS defensive lineman that started playing my freshmen year in high school, you were spot on about the college aspect being more physical. You practice every day full speed and work too hard to let your opponent out physical you. You don't even think about those head collisions that occur play after play in the moment. I know I have CTE lol but I realize how much this sport has helped me and can continue to help me that I just don't care

When i was in high school during football practice I got hit by to senior lineman so hard that I could not get up and could not feel my legs for about 5 minutes.

Box lacrosse is more violent, field lacrosse which is more streamline has probably one to two large hits per game. There is a way higher chance of getting concussions in football

Hockey is where its at, people have died on the ice before.

shit man i played soccer my whole life, played collegiately for 4 years and semi pro for a couple years. I've had more than ten concussions and they definitely have effected me. If soccer can do it i'd hate to think about the damage mma football and lacrosse guys go through

R.I.P Stan Lee 😢

Played football from 4 grade through high school. Decided not to try out for the community college team. Said I’m done having headaches after like every practice

Heard the other day that HOF Jim Brown as great as he was at Football he was an even better Lacrosse player.

Tom Segura is the type of acrobat you’d hire in a prison.

My older brother was a badass football player and wrestler in high school and I used to be so jealous of him but now we’re both in our mid to late 30’s and he’s suffering from both CTE and knee issues whereas I’m still sharp mentally and can still go on long runs and hill sprints.

Joe"Two paper towels" Rogan

It’s amazing how many injuries that seemed minor at the time (like a concussion or knee injury) slowly exacerbate over time and really affect you at an age where you should still be healthy to the point where you stop being able to do stuff

I had a completely different picture of lacrosse in my head. Didn't think at all that it could be a contact sport. I'd thought it was more like floorball.

Field lacrosse is different, you can still hit other players but to a lesser degree, box lacrosse is a lot more contact plus it’s a smaller area you have to play, but even then it’s mostly hard cross checks and slashes, youll still definitely see people get laid out but because that’s not the main objective of the game

Watching this video gives me headaches and dizziness

What happened to the original podcast, can't find it anymore

This vid needs to blowwwww uppppp

I was a WR who couldnt catch in high school so I didnt take any hits ... Thank God. Sucks for the good players

An interview with doctor house, dope.

I think sadly the protection used in American Football actually facilitates this long term brain damage. The sparse rules on tackling rarely change but the padding and protection does - the dangerous nature of the tackles themselves do not change. Compare this to rugby union, legal tackling is constantly changing, the hits are just as big as American football, but the risk of brain damage is far lower.

Top 10 active fighters to get CTE: 1. Alistair Overeem 3. Eddie Alvarez 3. Justin Gaetje 4. Diago Sanchez 5. Chuck Liddell 6. Wanderlei Silva 7. Robbie Lawler 8. Mark Hunt 9. Chris Leben 10. Michael Bisping

Joe “ My kids go to a very nice school” Rogan 🤣

I play lacrosse and I can confirm people get rocked, all the time. Also you're not wearing pads like in football, and the pads you do have are small and thin.

I was a bit shocked when Bazooka Joe Valtelieni didnt or wasnt allowed to spar for a while after his title fight (he explains it better in his jre ep i reccomend)

Rogan is so obsessed with CTE cuz deep down he’s concerned he’s gonna have it

After a KB tournament i always take a month off from sparring and just hit the bag hold pads u know

i want joe to come to australia and watch kids play rugby league hahaha he would have a fit, we different animals over here

You should have a lacrosse goalie on, 120 mph shots from hard rubber balls to the shins, those guys are NUTS

I play both lacrosse and football and football is way way worse I’ve had some rly bad hits in football and have struggled to walk before after a hit but I’ve never had anything close to that in lacrosse and bad head injuries aren’t nearly as common in lacrosse as football

Sub concussive trauma is scary af

i feel like CTE is mainly the lack of oxygen in the brain. In this case the brain isʻnt functioning well. Try holding your breath while putting together a dresser. The longer you hold your breath the more shifty your thoughts gets and you cant think straight. That is EXACTLY💯 how CTE feels like, but it’s all day every day. I believe i have significant CTE i played football 3 yrs in high school 3 yrs in college as a Linebacker and i was the starter all those years. My idols were zach thomas and bill romonowski. As you know thomas and romo tackles a lot with their helmets. Their style embedded in my game and that’s how i played. Iʻve been laying dudes out through my playing days and a good percentage of that were helmet to helmet hits. I just learned about CTE when i first experience the symptoms and that was after my first college football season. Out of nowhere i felt like i didnt wana be in school, didnt wana be near my friends, felt guilty but didnt know why. I suffered from a kazillion of migranes it felt like through out all these years. I didnt understand what i was going through until i watched the will smith concussion movie in my dorm room. Then i thought to myself maybe i have CTE. I researched more about CTE and i found out that everything iʻm going through are CTE symptoms. Since then ive been thinking A LOT how to deal with it. Iʻve never went to the doctors, i feel like im ashamed of it. Ive always tried to handle it myself and so far i believe it has gotten better. And it has been 7 years since i felt strong sypmtoms of CTE. I started my recovery by changing my diet even though still today i eat cheeseburgers and hot dogs. But i cut down my eating 50% and and more vegetables and fruits to my diet. A TON of water. Minimize SUGAR. Im not a super vegan hero but thatʻs kind of where im heading. I cut 40lbs after i thought i was going to lose it all. Im not doing this just to impress others about my diet and body but im doing it because my life literally depends on it. Again so far my memory improved but still sucks, thinking kind of stabling, i make my loved ones laugh again now, a lil bit. Overall im glad i can find a little happiness. Thatʻs all i asked for is a sign a little light and iʻll gravitate towards it. The main thing is oxygen, i can breathe so much better now after i change my diet and lose some weight. Most of the foods we eat are the PROBLEM. This is the reason why iʻm searching for the best diet for my body so it can produce more oxygen cleanly and narurally. Please if you read this understand that people are going through things dont judge them by their actions but help find light to the root of their problems. If you have CTE know that youʻre not alone. DO NOT GIVE UP to the mediaʻs portrat of CTE believe that you can erase it and get back HOME. Your diet, wellness, your good habbits, your happiness i believe theyʻre the keys to help with CTE. May the power of the creator be with you the courageous one. Fight on.

Next up: New study concludes getting out of bed causes the most common and extreme CTE.

Alternate title “Tom Segura denies CTE diagnosis”

Youth tackle football scares the shit out of me bc I really do love the game - everyone in my family does. I live in Longview, Texas. Longview HS is ranked 1st in Texas 6A and eleventh in the nation right now. They’ve gone to the playoffs every year since 2003. There are 85,000 ppl, a 6A and 5A high school, Longview HS alone has produced 26 NFL players. They currently have 5. Like, nationwide, 1 in 20,000 people will make it to the NFL. 1 in 3000 from here go on to the NFL. So, I can say “I’m not going to let my son play until middle school” all day, but... he’s only 18 months old now. It’s going to be a little harder to argue that point when he’s 7 and he is begging to play bc every other kid he knows is out there running the fucking Oklahoma drill or the gauntlet... bc they do that shit. It’s pretty stupid. I don’t know why kids don’t play flag and then 7 on 7 instead of tackle. Seems like learning a pass heavy fast offense at a young age would be more beneficial. It’s just crazy here though. Patrick Mahomes Jr is from this area. He started working with these conditioning coaches when he was 11 I think. Pretty much all the college players going into the pros get ready for the combine with the same coaches, but they have programs starting for 5 year olds - strength and conditioning for 5 year olds, and it’s like.. like, the competition to get your kids into the best private schools in LA or NYC... we’re getting our 5 year olds ready for the NFL combine. LOL...

I played lacrosse from 3rd grade through college. They really make lacrosse seem like a blood sport it’s pretty soft tbh.

Anyone know how bad stuff like judo, BJJ, and wrestling are in terms of brain damage? Not a lot of head shots, but plenty of hitting the ground and getting jostled.

I wish they teached/had moore martial arts and such in sports in highschool and collage!!!

Whenever I use to hear people say “I’d never let my child play football, it’s dangerous” I’d always think to myself “Jesus Christ, get a fucking grip” but not anymore after all this stuff we now know about concussions and CTE

Ice Hockey, Lacrosse, Rugby and now MMA... my brain is potato mash at this point

Last year i passed out and gave myself a concussion smacking my head on a metal chair. Got in a car accident a couple weeks later. Not bad but another gnarly concussion. I also train so i was getting hit and choked real good nothing too bad tho. Combine all that i could tell very much my functioning was waay down. And i smoke a lot of weed so that helps and makes it worse at the same time lolol thats my story folks

So what is Joes conclusion about mma? Its safer than lacrosse?

When's this being uploaded

Joe "I'm talking out of my ass right now, but I think a doctor would agree" Rogan

Reason why he didnt mention mma is because parents already know my mom was even hesitant to put me in boxing but getting bullied at school set that as a last resort but most parents ignorantly put their kids in football not knowing you get cte in fighting everyone always mentioned Muhammad ali its a given

Former female boxer here, diagnosed with Traumatic Brain Injury. Now in my 50's, life is not good. Thank you Jesus that I have a great pension, because My symptoms are so severe I am no longer able to work.

I played defensive end and tight end from 6 all through high school and never realized how many concussions I had until I started listening to joe talk about it Edit: just heard Tom talk about blindsiding people and this isn’t something I’m proud of nowadays but I used to be the KING of ear holing mfs lol dirty move tho, I was a dick

CTE- When you sneeze so hard your vision goes black

well if Soccer has high risk of CTE then I guess I won't be coming out of my house ever again to eliminate any chance of CTE lol

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="480">8:00</a> and after is what interested me most.

THIS WHY I RATHER HAVE MY KIDS DO BALLET AND BE QUESTIONED ON THEIR SEXUAL ORIENTATION

There’s kids in high school with sever ctw from playing since an early age, this shit ain’t a joke

Tom mentioned tennis and it's worth noting that, no, you won't get CTE in that sport, but the knees of a 50+ tennis player are an ugly thing.

Its like shaken baby syndrome but with 1 hard shake a day. From kindergarten to retirement.

Joe if you want to blow the doors off of an issue that's kind of being sat on you need to look into amount of paratroopers, thousands of paratroopers we're going with CTE undiagnosed. Will not connect Anythink CTE related unless there is a roadside bomb attached to it. These men women braids look as you said like walnuts. My doctor for instance told me I've had over 30 concussions from just four years. Something to think about. If you are reading this get your head checked. It could be the reason why you've been fighting depression lack of focus many many many other issues

not because they wear protection, because they get hit with protection? an impact to the head would depend on a lot of stuff, whether it was fast, or hard, or if you got embarrassed. A small tap with a little humiliation can do more than a big thump, if you have to fight you'd know it.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="418">6:58</a> was this player in question Tyler Hilinski?

Lacrosse has insane stats on CTE

Joe needs to see Rugby in New Zealand
