In this episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, Joe talks about his recent back injury and how to deal with it. He also talks about the benefits of decompression and other ways to manage your back pain. Joe also discusses how to prevent and manage back injuries.
00:00:22.000Another thing you can do without a machine is just bend your knees, just bend slightly, grab your arms like this, and just like go forward and relax your back, and it'll pop your back that way, too.
00:00:47.000But the lower back is when I played football, I played contact football, and we used to go to physicals.
00:00:53.000You had to get a physical, and it was just a gigantic room, and you'd go from doctor to doctor, so everybody could do it at one time.
00:00:59.000And I remember I laid down, and the doctor grabbed my leg, and he was trying to get range of motion, and he got it like three-quarters of the way up, and it stopped.
00:01:08.000And he said to me, you're going to have lower back pain when you're older.
00:03:50.000And then I started strengthening because I never really did anything to strengthen my lower back, my neck, any of those things while I was training jiu-jitsu in the beginning.
00:04:03.000But doesn't deadlifting and I don't know if you did these things, but deadlifting and squatting without, I squat lightweight without a belt.
00:04:10.000Doesn't that automatically strengthen your lower back?
00:04:13.000I thought it automatically kind of did.
00:04:15.000Well, I mean, it does a little bit, but it depends on what you're doing.
00:04:17.000The not-to-focused exercises that we were just doing.
00:05:28.000Or at least they're going to have at least some kind of an advantage.
00:05:31.000But I tell everybody like my age, I'm 52, it's like, do a circuit, do a 40-minute weight circuit, do three sets of, just go, just, you got to do it.
00:05:42.000Because I think it affects your, I'm not an expert on this or anything, but I think it affects your testosterone.
00:08:51.000Imagine anybody that really knows how to fight is not going to put that fucking hat on.
00:08:55.000You're going to be like, what am I doing?
00:08:56.000But those guys, like, I think that what they did is if there was a disturbance or something or somebody was acting nuts on the subway, they would just surround the person.
00:10:40.000I mean, if you're saying off-duty transit police officers, so you're accusing police officers of a crime.
00:10:46.000So what you're doing is not just lying, but you're also putting the police officers in jeopardy because you're falsely claiming that these guys are outlaws.
00:10:55.000He claimed at the time stunts were intended to underscore the dangers of the subways.
00:10:59.000Who doesn't know about the dangers of the subway?
00:11:01.000Yeah, just let the natural stuff play out.
00:14:37.000Like the tension you have between co-workers.
00:14:40.000This is like, you know, Phil Hartman told me that Saturday Night Live was like the most stressful thing that he ever did in his life because there was so much tension because everybody behind the scene was backstabbing everybody.
00:16:28.000I could do like 45 minutes, which is like a year after my special.
00:16:32.000But once you get it down, it's sloppy.
00:16:37.000There's some shit in there that like needs some work.
00:16:39.000But then you have, like, even if you're going to go back and make corrections on it, you have the scaffolding for it, which is very important.
00:17:11.000I was just thinking about him this morning.
00:17:13.000I was just thinking about him in terms of a comic that I don't know if you knew him or not, but like I watched him as a kid and he blew me away with how good he was.
00:17:22.000And then I talked to Wattel in New York.
00:18:52.000And he was so good, but he fucking hated the fact that he wasn't Jim Carrey.
00:18:56.000He hated the fact that he wasn't a movie star.
00:18:58.000We all need to take our health seriously.
00:19:00.000And let's face it, while the average modern diet might include some fruits and veggies, it also comes with its fair share of fries and barbecue.
00:19:07.000That mix probably isn't giving your body everything it needs.
00:19:11.000This new generation of AG1 can help fill the nutrient gaps your diet might miss.
00:19:15.000I think it's a simple way to support your overall health.
00:19:18.000It's an easy morning routine that sets you up to feel ready, energized, and equipped to take on the day.
00:21:57.000But that's such a great thing with the scaffolding and it's like punched up all the way through and then just walking up there and knowing it's like, I'm about to let this loose on this crowd.
00:22:06.000And it's like watching them react to it.
00:22:08.000It's like they're doubled over and you just keep coming at.
00:22:11.000It's like when you're fight, if you're fighting somebody like a boxer, like a Pacquiao in his prime, where he'd turn you, he'd hit you three times, turn you, hit you three times, turn you, and then hit you three more.
00:22:35.000Like one of my favorite bits of the last few years, Brian Simpson has this bit about the song Wet Ass Pussy, but it goes all the way back to Queen Elizabeth.
00:23:34.000There's like stretch and then delay coffee.
00:23:37.000That's another big thing I'm trying is to delay coffee.
00:23:39.000Get, because the gym is in the building, get a workout first, right out of bed, and then come back up, cold shower, and then get a cup of coffee and then write.
00:24:44.000And that dry sauna is where all the research from Finland comes out.
00:24:48.000They did, over 20 years, they found that if you do the sauna four times a week for 20 minutes at 175 degrees, it's a 40% decrease in all-cause mortality.
00:25:46.000And it's essentially like static cardio.
00:25:49.000So like I wear a whoopstrap and I'll go in the sauna after training and I'll look at my app and I'm at 145 beats per minute just sitting there because I'll go straight from working out.
00:26:00.000So like I'll do rounds on the bag and then heart rate elevated, go right in the sauna and it keeps your heart rate up.
00:26:10.000Your body's struggling because it's already overheated from the workout, and then your body's in 195 degrees, and your heart's just pounding.
00:28:32.000And that's the time I try to time it with when I'm writing because it's like you want to feel all, you want to feel that energy while you're writing.
00:29:45.000I mean, he's one of the best of all time.
00:29:47.000One of the absolute best heavyweights that's ever lived.
00:29:50.000The thing that was remarkable about, and I agree, the thing that's remarkable about that fight is Dubois came out the first round and was aggressive.
00:30:21.000He just downloads what you're doing and starts adding in feints.
00:30:25.000And, you know, Joshua said that when he trained, when he fought him rather, that at the last round, he had never been more tired in his life.
00:30:31.000He just couldn't believe how tired Usak makes you because he's constantly fainting and moving.
00:30:36.000So I watched his training routine today.
00:32:47.000But genius when it came to strength and conditioning.
00:32:50.000I mean, so many guys like MMA fighters went and traded with him.
00:32:56.000Matt the Immortal Brown did a lot of training with him and then, you know, used a lot of his stuff with, you know, Matt sells equipment now too.
00:33:03.000It's a lot of the stuff that he worked on with Louie.
00:33:06.000But it's like, you know, he'd have all these guys that were like these world champion lifters.
00:33:11.000I mean, these guys are fucking gorillas.

00:37:09.000It kept, you know, they were supposed to fight.
00:37:11.000They thought they were on a, you know, and the money was never right or something.
00:37:14.000But now with like Turkey Al-Ashik in the mix, you know.
00:37:18.000Well, if they decided to do Parker versus Usuk, which is a great fight, I think that would be the fight that they would have underneath that.
00:37:25.000That would be amazing, Tyson and Joshua.
00:37:27.000But they're talking right now about doing Anthony Joshua Jake Paul.
00:38:34.000Something Greek, but like he's a guy who, he was a Ohio State champ and maybe a runner-up his senior year.
00:38:42.000And then he went to Cleveland State and was just a guy who was like, I don't think he did anything in college really, but the way he wrestles, I could see by the way he wrestles, and it's a good video series.
00:40:41.000This is great old judo clip of this guy.
00:40:45.000I mean, I want to say he was in his 70s at the time.
00:40:48.000And it's a black and white film of all his younger black belts rolling with him, like doing standing, I don't know what they call it, standing judo practice.
00:40:58.000And he's like effortlessly avoiding these takedowns with balance and technique.
00:41:03.000It doesn't ever look like he's like exploding or really using a lot of force and just flips these guys to the ground.
00:45:18.000So it never had a professional outlet for whatever dumb reason other than MMA, where it dominates.
00:45:24.000If you look at MMA, if you look at all the disciplines of all the champions of all time.
00:45:31.000I think wrestling has a significant lead.
00:45:34.000I think there's more athletes that came from wrestling that became world champions than any other discipline.
00:45:39.000Well, before everybody started cross-training, I think our training was the model.
00:45:44.000I might be wrong, but like our training, like wrestling practice was very hard.
00:45:48.000When I was in even an eighth grade, I was like, this is unbelievably harder than anything I've ever experienced.
00:45:55.000So I think everybody cross-trains now.
00:45:57.000Everybody kind of trains like that, but we were the first where it's like you get in, it's like you warm up, and it's just military-like in its execution of practice.
00:47:38.000If you're also like on the fence and you have to work for everything, it's like because you're coming across all kinds of adversity and stuff and then you have to figure out.
00:47:46.000And then, you know, I can speak from experience.
00:47:47.000It's embarrassing to get pinned in a gym full of people.
00:49:13.000And this guy shoots in with a double, hoists this dude up into the air and power slams him on his head on the concrete and then punches him in the face a couple times where he's completely unconscious.
00:49:23.000Then his buddies jump on him and it's a fucking melee.
00:49:56.000Cincinnati Jazz Festival where this couple got jumped and this guy got beaten down and kicked and then the girl is trying to separate it and this guy punches the girl and KOs her and she falls and bangs her head on the ground and she's out cold with her eyes open.
00:55:21.000I always wanted Askron to fight in the UFC long before he did.
00:55:25.000And unfortunately, I think he did sort of the prime of his career in Bellator, and no one got a chance to see it.
00:55:32.000Because that was when he was at his best, when he was fighting guys like Douglas Lima, who was another guy who people forgot because he was fighting so much in Bellator.
00:56:24.000Well, that's the difference between a guy who's constantly wrestling and doing it all of his life and doing camps and starting when he was a young boy.
00:56:32.000And also, like, his technique was so good.
00:56:42.000I mean, if a guy doesn't have to be tense all the time, you know, but it's like this video that I watched with Uzek, it was very eye-opening.
01:00:44.000You're dealing with two all-time greats.
01:00:46.000Crawford's one of the best switch hitters, I think, since Marvin Hagler and one of the most skillful boxers alive.
01:00:52.000And then you have Canelo, who probably isn't the same guy as he was just like a few years ago, but still one of the greatest of all time, still has brutal knockout power.
01:01:04.000You know, I mean, if you go back to like some of his, you know, like more impressive fights from a few years ago, like the Amir Khan KO, you know, like the Billy Joe Saunders KO, like those KOs, like he's probably not that guy anymore.
01:03:38.000Let's say like Canelo vacates some titles and the guy picks it up.
01:03:42.000He's still a WBO champion or a WBC champion or WBA or IBF or IBO.
01:03:47.000But that's the problem is that there's so many world champions.
01:03:50.000Whereas in MMA, like you can be a Bellator world champion, but everybody knows you're not really the world champion unless you're the UFC world champion in terms of public perception.
01:03:59.000There's guys I think that were Bellator champions that could have won in the UFC at that same weight class.
01:04:04.000And there's guys that did, like Eddie Alvarez came over from Bellator.
01:04:08.000He was a world champion and he won the world title in the UFC.
01:04:32.000But other than those kind of examples, you know, where there's one guy that's just the ultimate in that weight class, a world championship is worth a lot of money.
01:04:41.000So it's hard for guys to say no and just say, look, I'm only going to fight for the Ring magazine belt.
01:14:09.000It doesn't benefit you to write jokes on it anymore.
01:14:11.000Now it's confrontation is what the algorithm loves.
01:14:14.000So unless you're trying to, at least the way that that's the way I view it, it's like, unless you're trying to take somebody down or have an argument, that spurs the algorithm.
01:16:45.000It's like that every, you're not coming up with that every day.
01:16:48.000And I don't know if the general public realizes that.
01:16:50.000You're almost better off loot for online, loosely talking about a subject and putting that up rather than really sitting in the pocket and developing it the way that we do.
01:17:42.000Then when you have like a week of journaling, it's like now you have to go back through the journal and you have to see what's, you have to pull it out and then develop these ideas.
01:17:51.000When you say journaling, so you sit down and write, you write about your life.
01:17:56.000Or if like you write about a topic that you're interested in, that's gnawing at you.
01:18:01.000there's so many funny or potentially funny things that happen to you every day that if you would just journal it you you bring it to light and you but if you don't journal it's kind of like these things just they slip away they But if you journal and it's like, oh, that was funny, that was funny.
01:18:16.000Just getting on a plane now is hilarious.
01:18:20.000You know, there's so many different things and you interact with so many different, just these small interactions with people.
01:18:26.000And it's just, it's, you know, something that could go south.
01:23:46.000What if you sit next to her on a plane?
01:23:48.000She flips out, tells you you're not real.
01:23:49.000What a gift that would be if you could tell the audience that you were a guy that was on the flight with that motherfucker's not real lady.
01:23:56.000Here's the quote she said, which is, I thought the plane was going to blow up.
01:27:58.000She is in this rare air right now like the Beatles, like Elvis in his prime, where it's an emotional experience being in her presence if you're a Taylor Swifty.
01:28:12.000She sells out stadiums, multiple shows in stadiums, right?
01:28:17.000I think it's probably so emotional for them when they're standing in front of her and she's singing that afterwards they're so spent and racked, they're probably like, what happened?
01:32:56.000And so a lot of the stuff, like the lights inside the green room, when the light goes on for each room, so you know who's got the light, the stage.
01:33:04.000The time that someone's on stage, both from the stage and from the green room, all that.
01:33:09.000Like, I think the lights were Tony's idea.
01:33:13.000I think the time might have been Simpson's idea.
01:33:15.000So it's all like everybody had their own say in what we do.
01:33:19.000Louis told me to lower the ceiling in the little room and in the big room.
01:33:31.000Forget about the bounce that you get from the loudness of the echo does make it louder, but it also makes it a little harder to hear what you're saying.
01:34:09.000It took a little while, but once we dialed it in, man, it's been pretty smooth for like we were going on, it'll be our third year in March.
01:37:59.000The Birds got their start at Cyros in 1965.
01:38:02.000Accounts of the period reproduced in the sleeve notes to the pre-flight sessions box set described a church-like atmosphere with interpretive dancing.
01:38:56.000Yeah, the Ice House in Pasadena was the oldest running club.
01:39:03.000So it was like, I think it was a music club at first.
01:39:07.000And then, well, at first it started out as an actual ice house back when people didn't have freezers.
01:39:13.000You would get a giant chunk of ice from Alaska or some shit, and they put it in, you know, like insulated, giant steel boxes and transport it to cities.
01:39:21.000And you would be able to go to there and buy ice for your ice box.
01:39:24.000And you'd put it, you know, in an insulated box in your home, and that's how it would keep your milk cold.
01:39:29.000Like, literally, that's what an ice house is.
01:39:31.000And so then it became, I think it was a rock club for a little while, and then it became a comedy club earlier than the store.
01:42:24.000Pasadena was like the place where the producers would live.
01:42:27.000Like the stars would all live in the Hollywood Hills, and the producers would all move out to Pasadena and have like normal lives in the early days of Hollywood.
01:42:34.000So there's beautiful houses out there.
01:42:36.000But that's where you would want to do well, I would imagine, back in the day when there was an industry and they cared if someone was talented or not, you'd want to go in front of a crowd that was, they lived there.
01:42:45.000So they would come out and then they would see you crush and they would be like, this guy should have a show.
01:42:49.000Yeah, but I don't think they went to those clubs.
01:43:23.000She's like, you can't just develop a 10-minute set and do the same goddamn set over and over again, hoping that it's going to lead you to a show.
01:47:29.000And I'm sure there's a lot of drug use and there's a lot of maniacs.
01:47:33.000It just seems very young and very volatile.
01:47:35.000It's also an exciting place to have a comedy club because all the chaos of the street, it's like you're crackling by the time you get through the door.
01:53:26.000Jamie, I just sent you another thing that James Lee posted, but it's all the different places where the money went from the fire relief.
01:53:33.000It went to all these different nonprofits, and the people who own the homes haven't gotten it yet.
01:53:36.000I don't know what's true, what's not true, but there's a lot of reporters who are reporting on this.
01:53:40.000There's a disturbing lack of transparency in where all the money that was raised went and where it's going, which is the dirty secret about nonprofits is that there's a bunch of people that work for those nonprofits that get hefty salaries.
01:53:53.000They're operating this under this umbrella.
01:53:56.000$100 million Fire Aid Concert was never about the fire victims, became a slush fund for Steve Ballmer, Wallace Annenberg, and Irving Azoff's Friends with handouts to music orgs, the NAACP, a nonprofit for nonprofits, and even a charity tied to Israel.
01:55:24.000But then when you find out that you get real cynical when you find out the operating costs, you find out how much of the money actually goes to the actual issue versus goes to these executives.
01:56:32.000And unless you address it at the root level, like you're going to have to get everybody on Ibogaine.
01:56:36.000You're going to send all those people down to Costa Rica or Mexico, get them on Ibogaine, take them through intensive counseling, reintroduce them into society, get them jobs.
01:56:47.000This ain't as easy as you give some person who has a liberal arts degree a half a million dollar a year salary to run this nonprofit to aid the homeless people and then it turns out they don't do any work at all and one of the things that they had there was this uh homeless uh shelter that they put that only three percent of the people that went through, like 35 people, escaped homelessness after they left there.
01:57:48.000And it was too many people way before this problem.
01:57:51.000When we were filming Fear Factor downtown in the early 2000s, I remember I was driving home one night and I drove by Skid Row.
01:58:00.000And Skid Row was a place where they would take all the vagrants and all the problem people from Hollywood and everywhere else and they would just relocate them to Skid Row.
01:58:11.000And they started doing this a long time ago.
01:58:13.000And it was in that documentary about that hotel, Jamie.
01:58:18.000That one hotel where that lady wound up missing and it turned out she had had an episode where she wasn't taking her medication and jumped into the water tank.
02:03:03.000They were smart, you know, but they were like, you know, California people, but it wasn't LA, so they weren't like showbiz people.
02:03:11.000And I think San Francisco people generally were like a little smarter, a little more well-read, a little more worldly, you know, and then it became a fucking wreck.
02:03:21.000And now that's where it's at right now.
02:03:26.000I hear the AI people are trying to clean it up.
02:03:29.000And that like there's a lot of AI startups now, and they have, you know, invested interest in trying to improve the city, try to bring it back to where it was.
02:03:37.000People with a little bit more of a libertarian bent than people that are, you know.
02:03:44.000I almost can't wrap my head around it.
02:03:46.000Well, no one can wrap their head around it.
02:03:48.000Well, it's like kids in school now are writing their papers with AI and no one can stop them, but the teachers are just grading the papers with AI.
02:03:56.000And then everybody's just sending pictures of their feet to each other.
02:04:02.000It's like nothing's getting done anymore.
02:09:08.000We're definitely where we used to think of, like when we thought about the fall of the Roman Empire, like when they were in the vomitoriums, which turns out is actually just the escape route of the Coliseum.
02:09:18.000Like the idea of a vomitorium, we thought it was a place where people go to vomit.
02:09:30.000People probably did eat so much that they shoved a feather down their throat and threw up and ate.
02:09:34.000But that's not what the vomitorium was.
02:09:37.000Vomitorium is like Latin for like an exit.
02:09:42.000It's like if you Google vomitorium, like it's like, you know, when you have the Coliseum, ancient words, purging the myth of vomitorium.
02:09:51.000Ancient Romans used the word, but pop culture has the concept all wrong.
02:09:56.000So to Romans, vomitoriums were the entrances and exits in the stadiums or theaters, so dubbed by a fifth century writer because of the way they spew crowds out into the streets.
02:10:11.000Wow, so that's the exact trope, it says that the ancient Romans were luxurious and vapid enough to engage in rituals of binging and purging, said Sarah Bond, an assistant professor of classics at the University of Iowa.
02:10:24.000Yeah, so when people say the Romans have the vomitoriums, that's just like, I didn't read the full article type shit.
02:14:35.000And I was staying at a hotel and there was this robot going up and down the parking lot, I guess, trying to determine if someone wasn't supposed to be parking there because it was like giving parking tickets.
02:17:07.000And the only thing is, it's like, yeah, jack up on taxes on like the chains that are taking over, but don't jack it up on mom and pop businesses.
02:17:19.000And that's what makes New York New York.
02:17:21.000Yes, they've lost a lot of that already, right?
02:17:24.000But even if you do that, it's like, why are you doing it to them?
02:17:27.000And why is everything running efficiently first?
02:17:31.000Is your money being allocated to efficient organizations?
02:17:44.000You're dealing with such a massive bureaucracy.
02:17:46.000You really have to go in there and figure out how to cut it and all this stuff and allocate the money the right way.
02:17:51.000I don't know where it breaks down, but it probably leads to another Giuliani-type mayor.
02:17:56.000It probably goes completely sideways for a bunch of people.
02:18:00.000I hope not because it's ugly if there's just massive crime on the subways and gangs kind of.
02:18:06.000I don't think it'll get to that because I think we're past that and we're conscious of it.
02:18:09.000Oh, come on, it's like a level of crime where it's like there's no cops around and the gangs are running the streets and it's like dangerous to take the subway and all that stuff.
02:18:19.000Well, friends that I know in New York and cops that I've talked to from New York have said that there was a big increase when they started letting like basically anybody who wanted to come across the border.
02:18:30.000And they were getting to New York and New York was a sanctuary city.
02:18:33.000It's like we were having real fucking problems, like an elevated number of assaults and crimes and robberies.
02:20:48.000Like if you would have just come up with that instead of letting the people through the border and just been like, hey, we're going to streamline a pathway to citizenship here.
02:20:56.000We're going to vet these people, but we're going to move it along more efficiently.
02:20:59.000And like, who's not going to be behind that?
02:21:01.000I mean, you could disagree with that, but at least it's like a proactive way to get things done instead of what happened.
02:21:40.000But the reality is, and Tim Dylan talked about this first.
02:21:43.000I first heard it from him, but then J.D. Vance told me the same thing, that someone actually told him that at a party, that that was what they were upset about, that they were losing access to cheap labor.
02:22:02.000Everybody thinks it's a left-wing issue, but it's like, see, the right is just quietly, they're just doing stuff very quietly, in my opinion.
02:22:10.000Well, there was a lot of stuff like that.
02:22:11.000And I understand you're trying to run a business and you want cheaper labor, but that's the wrong way to do it.
02:22:16.000And they're secretly behind it, I think.
02:22:18.000The problem is they've been getting away with it for so long that it becomes a part of their standard operating procedure, right?
02:22:24.000Like if it was never a thing, if you could never get away with it, if it was a real problem from the beginning, then you'd have to pay people a living wage.
02:22:30.000And then you have to pay people correctly, which is what we should all want.
02:22:42.000Also, we should make other places better.
02:22:44.000Like, if we weren't sending factories down to Mexico where people were working for 15 cents a day, what if those people were making like a real living wage down there?
02:22:53.000Because if you're going to have an American company and you're going to open up at a factory somewhere, it's your responsibility to elevate those people's lifestyle and make it like an American lifestyle.
02:23:03.000Well, then it makes it not worth it to take the business out of there.
02:25:15.000And then have the rules and enforce the rules.
02:25:17.000But as soon as you have lobbyists and corporations just dumping money into that Citizens United case where it's like we can just, money is speech.
02:25:53.000So it's like, it needs to be, I don't know if we go into a European, what do the Europeans do where it's like, there's a state amount of money for each campaign.
02:26:03.000There's a state siphon given to each campaign.
02:26:06.000It can't be just corporations, at least a limit.
02:26:08.000Like They're just dumping endless amounts of money.
02:27:16.000But his old videos of him, it's like, what a well-spoken, he seems like an intelligent, well-spoken, graduated at the top of his class guy.
02:27:43.000something else happened in there did he get an operation I'm not sure I don't think so but he was not getting the insurance company was not cooperating with him obviously and he was he was actively in pain yeah but I also thought that he went kind of kooky like something went wrong with him, too.
02:28:01.000Did he have, like, did someone say that he took acid?
02:28:06.000There were a bunch of rumors because I think he loved rumors.
02:28:09.000He's been working in finance and he disappeared, moved to Hawaii, and was staying in Hawaii for a while by himself, and all his friends had lost contact, something like that.
02:28:17.000Oh, so he had a little bit of a break other than that.
02:29:32.000It says, Mangioni had discussed getting Lyme disease at age 13 and wrote that he had been experiencing brain fog since high school.
02:29:39.000He also sought advice online regarding irritable bowel syndrome and visual snow.
02:29:44.000While studying at the University of Pennsylvania, Mangioni wrote in a post online that he considered dropping out due to worsening health issues, but decided against it, writing, staying in college has at least let me maintain some semblance of normalty.
02:29:56.000He suffered from spondilithesis while living in Hawaii.
02:30:08.000His back pain worsened due to a surfing mishap, and he expressed concerns to others about the pain.
02:30:14.000Reportedly underwent spinal fusion surgery in July of 2023.
02:30:18.000Wrote on social media the surgery went well.
02:30:21.000People have stated that United Healthcare did not insure him.
02:30:25.000After his arrest, several news outlets analyzed Mangioni's social media to gather information about his social, political, and religious views.
02:30:33.000His Twitter account posted about topics such as religion, history, ethics, and politics.
02:30:38.000They found him to be fascinated by AI and decision theory, pro-technology but anti-smartphones, secular and scientific in his outlook.
02:30:48.000Skeptical outlook towards Joe Biden and Donald Trump.
02:30:54.000Multiple sources have reported that he followed the Democratic representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, as well as Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and others labeling him as politically uncategorized and anti-system.
02:31:07.000I wonder why he targeted that guy because they said he wasn't covered by United Healthcare.
02:31:11.000So that guy was a specific guy, like the president of the company.
02:32:24.000Oh, yeah, they hired Gwyneth Paltrow to do an ad for them after they fired him, which is hilarious because she used to be married to the lead singer of ColdPlay.
02:32:32.000Like, oh, brilliant move, by the way, on their part, of the company's part.
02:33:03.000And he was talking about the odds of this thing being in the trajectory that it is, entering into our solar system in a direct path with Earth.
02:33:13.000And at the place, where it's doing it, it's when the Earth is the opposite side of the Sun, so it's coming from behind the Sun.
02:33:21.000And so it makes it difficult to detect.
02:33:25.000And that this object is in a direct line to come to Earth in 2027.
02:33:30.000Do they have a trajectory of where it's going to land?
02:33:33.000I don't think they totally know that yet.
02:33:35.000I think they're trying to calculate whether or not it's actually going to hit Earth or come near Earth or pass by Earth or what it is.
02:33:42.000Why do they think it's an alien satellite or whatever?
02:33:46.000Well, there's this guy, Avi Loeb, this professor that I'm discussing, he also had an analysis of another object that passed by Earth a few years back that they named, and they said that this thing had a very bizarre, metallic sort of look to it, that he did not think, based on the shape of it and the way it was traveling, that it was natural.
02:34:10.000So he thought that that could have been some sort of an alien craft as well.
02:34:17.000But as it gets closer, we could probably decipher.
02:34:19.000Scientists give chilling update a mysterious interstellar object racing through our solar system as they warn it's even bigger than we thought.
02:34:27.000Provide a chilling update on a mysterious interstellar object that's racing through our solar system using data from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory.
02:34:35.000Experts have revealed just how big the object dubbed 31 Atlas really is.
02:34:41.000According to their analysis, the object measures roughly seven miles in diameter.
02:35:05.000Chris Lynn Tott, an astronomer at the University of Oxford, told Live Science any suggestion that it's artificial is nonsense and nonsense on stilts.
02:35:16.000He added that these claims are an insult to the exciting work going on to understand this object.
02:35:23.000But Harvard's legit and Avi Loeb is a legit astronomer.
02:35:41.000The images of the comet were actually snapped by the Vera C. Rubin before it was officially discovered.
02:35:46.000However, since it was identified on July 1st, scientists, just July 1st, just a little bit ago, scientists have scoured back through data to find out more about the mysterious object.
02:35:55.000New study published on RXIV, whatever that is, more than 200 researchers have confirmed the likely size of the comet's main body known as its nucleus.
02:36:07.000Their analysis suggests the nucleus has a radius of around 3.5 miles.
02:36:11.000That translates to a diameter or width of about 7 miles.
02:36:15.000To put that in perspective, bigger than Mount Everest, twice the size of Mount Kilimanjaro.
02:36:57.000So previously speaking to Mail Online, Professor Lowe pointed out that its impressive speed of 130,000 miles per hour as an indication that it might be controlled by aliens.
02:37:08.000He said it's difficult to imagine a natural process that would favor a plunge towards the inner solar system at 60 kilometers per second, he said.
02:37:17.000An alternative is that the object targets the inner solar system by some technological design.
02:38:09.000Yeah, we start fresh with new organisms.
02:38:11.000And then they come along and do genetic engineering, just like they did with us and monkeys, and create a new version of humans.
02:38:18.000But this time, it's a little less territorial, a little more inquisitive, a little more interested in innovation, a little less interested in dominating and controlling resources.
02:39:07.000And the amount of gas that was missing from his plane didn't make any sense that he was able to get this far.
02:39:13.000And what they're saying, and there's a recording of this, is that this guy went into a trance and was channeling some alien intelligence that was explaining through this guy's voice that the human race is the only intelligent race in the universe that still uses war and still kills people and engages in large-scale conflict and has nuclear weapons and that they have to stop
02:39:43.000doing this or that someone's going to step in.
02:40:59.000Yeah, let me hear it He is speaking, but he does not know the equipment is too primitive.
02:41:06.000This is the only way to convey lower that a little a microphone the equipment is too primitive.
02:41:12.000This is the only way to convey their message after almost an hour.
02:41:17.000The beings would release the young aviator pilot from his hypnotic state and return control of the plane so that he could receive instructions.
02:41:26.000And at the same time, he managed to land at the Acapoco airport.
02:41:35.000Like, if there was a unique event where something happened and an alien race did interact with human beings and then never again, no one would believe you.
02:46:17.000Well, just because we can't exist there doesn't mean other life forms can exist there.
02:46:21.000Or other life forms used to exist there.
02:46:23.000Like imagine if there was, like, if there's life on Earth right now today, and if Mars at one point in time had a sustainable atmosphere, like millions and millions of years ago, what if there was life on Mars?
02:46:35.000What if we are the offspring of the life on Mars?
02:46:37.000What if those fucking guys just realized like, hey, this place is falling apart.
02:46:42.000Let's shoot over to Earth and reestablish.
02:47:30.000Because it really puts it on the Tay, I was raised Catholic.
02:47:33.000I'm Catholic now, but it's like, everybody has like a similar experience where they go through a tunnel and they come out and then there's a life review where it's like your whole life is played out before you.
02:48:26.000And also long before there was any social media or any public depictions of these things, people have always had very similar stories of these things happening to them.
02:48:37.000Which makes you wonder, what is death?
02:48:59.000And if you were looking at, if you were an alien being looking at the direction that the human race is going, I would imagine you would be worried.
02:49:08.000I would imagine you would see all the chaos and guys falling in love with AI and people beating people up at jazz concerts.
02:49:32.000If we had the right intentions, right?
02:49:34.000Like if we had the intention of doing things designed to improve the human race versus doing things designed to only make money.
02:49:44.000If we collectively as a group abandon the idea of just doing things only for profit and instead embrace the idea of helping the human race, complete turnaround.
02:50:05.000It's got to start on a very micro level as well.
02:50:07.000That's probably why that stuff exists.
02:50:09.000Probably why that exists in so many cultures is because they kind of knew that this is the general direction the human race has to go if we're going to survive.
