Just How Likely Is A Global Nuclear War? - Annie Jacobsen - #778

**Chris Williamson** (0:00)
Hello everybody, welcome back to the show. My guest today is Annie Jacobsen. She's a journalist, investigative reporter and an author. The threat of nuclear war has loomed for over half a century now, but the question remains, just how close to nuclear Armageddon are we? And what would happen if the world did go into a nuclear war? Expect to learn how many nukes there are in the world right now, the most likely steps to an accidental nuclear war, what happens when a country fires the first nuke, which cities are the most likely targets of a strike, what are the most powerful bombs in history, how many people would die in a nuclear war between the US and Russia, how likely a nuclear war is in our future and much more. Positive stuff today, real, uplifting one about the potential end of humanity, but pretty important, I think. And Annie sort of takes you through step by step, second by second, what would happen if a nuke was released. It could be accidental, it could be on purpose. It's harrowing, apocalyptic and kind of compelling, very compelling, actually. Yeah, lots to take away from today. You might have heard me say that I took my testosterone level from 495 to 1,006 last year. And two of the supplements I used throughout that were Fidogeoagrestis and Tonkat Ali. I first heard Dr. Andrew Huberman talk about these really impressive effects that tons of research was showing, which sounds great until you realize that most supplements don't actually contain what they're advertising. Momentus make the only NSF certified Fidogeoagrestis and Tonkat Ali on the planet. That means that they're tested so rigorously that even Olympic athletes can use it. And that is why I partnered with them, because they make the most carefully tested, highest quality supplements on earth. Dr. Andrew Huberman is actually the scientific advisor for Momentus. So if you've ever wondered what supplements he would create if he could, or what he really uses himself, this is the answer. So if you're not performing in the gym or the bedroom the way that you want, or you just want to improve your testosterone naturally, Fidojogrestis and Tonkat Ali are the best, most researched back place to start.

I've won Whoop for over four years now since way before they were a partner on the show and it is the only wearable I have ever stuck with because it's the best. It is so innocuous. You do not remember that you've got it on and yet it tracks absolutely everything 24 seven via something from your wrist. It tracks your heart rate, it tracks your sleep, your recovery, all of your workouts, your resting heart rate, your heart rate variability, how much you're breathing throughout the night. It puts all of this into an app and spits out very simple, easy to understand and fantastically usable data. It's phenomenal. I am a massive, massive fan of Whoop and that is why it's the only wearable that I've ever stuck with. You can join for free, pay nothing for the brand new Whoop 4 strap. Plus you get your first month for free and as a 30 day money back guarantee. So you can buy it for free, try it for free and if you do not like it after 29 days, they will give you your money back.
