#1922 - Sam and Colby

Sam Golbach (0:13)

So we were just doing some stupid TikTok stuff during the pandemic and we were all challenging each other to do like stupid stuff. And for some reason, I thought it was a great idea to try to jump off of a second story balcony onto a bean bag.

But I missed, I missed the bean bag.

Colby Brock (0:28)

Missed the bean bag completely.

Joe Rogan (0:30)

Oh, no.

Sam Golbach (0:31)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (0:32)

And you broke your back?

Sam Golbach (0:33)

Yeah, I was, you know, I did it a couple times the previous week, and I was like, I got this, this is gonna be fine. And then I missed the bean bag, and so, you know, I think I only fractured a couple bones there, but you definitely took that for a laugh.

Joe Rogan (0:47)

That's a real problem, though.

Sam Golbach (0:48)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (0:49)

Is this your...

Sam Golbach (0:51)

Oh, please, God. It's gruesome if you actually see it.

Joe Rogan (0:55)

So what did you... So did you have to get surgery?

Sam Golbach (1:00)

I didn't have to get surgery, but I was in a back brace for, like, six months.

Joe Rogan (1:04)

Whoa.

Sam Golbach (1:05)

So that was really bad.

Joe Rogan (1:07)

Do you ever wonder that, like, you guys are in all these fucking haunted places? Do you ever wonder if you're carrying any of that shit around with you?

Sam Golbach (1:17)

Well, definitely. What was crazy is a lot of people think that the sign of something being with you is like back pain, but now that I've broken my back, I'm like, I can't make that connection right there. That's real back pain, not haunted back pain.

Joe Rogan (1:32)

Well, there's back pain where people just, like, there's psychosomatic back pain. Like, there's a guy named John Sarno... What's his name? John Sarno? Is that his name?

He had this weird theory about back pain that applied to some people, not people with actual real injuries, but some people, that it's all in your head. That it's people that are, like, deeply stressed out and fucked up and it manifests itself as back pain.

And somehow or another, through his teaching, a lot of people, including Howard Stern. Didn't Howard Stern have a thing with his back where John Sarno's fixed it?

Jamie (2:04)

There's a picture of him.

Joe Rogan (2:05)

Yeah, America's most famous back pain doctor said, pain is in your head.

Thousands think he's right. Well, millions think he's wrong, though.

Sam Golbach (2:13)

Well, then that doesn't work.

Joe Rogan (2:15)

He's not right. Like, sometimes you have fucking real back pain.

Sam Golbach (2:18)

You gotta get that fixed.

Joe Rogan (2:19)

But for crazy people, for some people, like, you know, you just have something in your head, and it's like, eh, my back. But it's really your psychology.

You're carrying it around with you.

Sam Golbach (2:31)

Now, speaking of carrying things around, a lot of people warn us that, like, because we go into so many haunted places, they're like, guys, you should be careful. Like, aren't you worried about bringing this home or bringing this to other people?

Colby Brock (2:41)

Yeah.

Sam Golbach (2:41)

I mean, we walked in here, obviously. It's probably just a coincidence. We walked here, and immediately, you know, your curtain fell over.

Colby Brock (2:48)

Yeah, not saying that's like paranormal.

Joe Rogan (2:50)

The curtain has been up for two years, never had a problem, and then Jamie asked you a question. Do you guys ever investigate anything that's bullshit? And you're like, yeah, definitely. And then, boom, the curtain falls.

Like it's rigged.

Colby Brock (3:04)

Like they're listening.

Joe Rogan (3:06)

That's what I'm wondering.

Sam Golbach (3:07)

Jamie, was that something you set up?

Joe Rogan (3:09)

Definitely isn't. I know Jamie. He's 100% anti-bullshit.

Do you feel like that's possible, that you could carry something like that with you?

Sam Golbach (3:20)

We have a lot of people that tell us that. We don't necessarily buy into it all that much. Like, there's definitely things that reoccur place to place, and it's not like, you know, the same. It's not supposed to be the same haunting or whatever, but we get the same thing that we think has been following us from multiple places.

Do we 100% buy that? I don't know. But what's really weird is when people will look you dead in the eye, and they'll be like, there is someone behind you.

And I've seen them for there for like an hour. And I'm like, I can't see that, but I'm also not going to like brush that off my shoulder and saying that's like not there.
