Luigi Mangione - Conspiracy Theories, Background, Rumors and more
Added 2024-12-11 01:14:56 +0000 UTCThis week's episode had to come early (and there might be more after December 11th...) because I cannot get this story of the United Health CEO ALLEGED shooter (because...was he the shooter?) out of my head.
Erik joins me to go over Luigi's background, alleged shooting, how he was found in McDonalds, what we know about him as a person, and conspiracy theories that have all of us confused.
Comments
I have to comment because I’m not on tik tok nor am I American so I have heard nothing about this until this podcast and I thought it was going to be about Luigi from the Mario brothers

2024-12-12 02:09:23 +0000 UTCits one of the main photos that has been going around, just did a quick google search and found it https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.yahoo.com%2Fnews%2Fluigi-mangione-murder-suspect-thought-202359160.html&psig=AOvVaw3sbVqa6QMk3ORjLn2z2Npe&ust=1734053468587000&source=images&cd=vfe&opi=89978449&ved=0CBUQjRxqFwoTCODr9NyKoYoDFQAAAAAdAAAAABAE

2024-12-12 01:31:47 +0000 UTCI keep thinking about how when the police approached him at McDonalds he apparently handed them the same fake NJ ID that he used at the hostel. That would be a great time to give them your real ID instead and have them look you up and be like, oh a nice rich boy! hed never do anything wrong! Not only is it risky to hand a fake ID to cops in general but the one you used at the scene of the crime? I guess either the brain fog is real or he did want to get caught, after all. Part of me was hoping something would happen today, but I knew in my heart that youtube account was likely fake :\

2024-12-12 00:51:39 +0000 UTCThat early in the morning on a particularly cold week (at least it’s been freezing on my part of the east coast, I heard it was in NY as well) and walking/biking, makes sense for the redness to me.
Kade Q
2024-12-11 23:55:40 +0000 UTCTo be fair, I think people cared less so they spread less information. Also because they both died at the scene there wasn’t a court case where evidence was gathered and released to the public.

2024-12-11 23:53:21 +0000 UTCIt would be awesomeee if you could upload any photos mentioned in the episode to Patreon in the future! I just heard you mention a shirtless photo where he’s super buff, and I could definitely look it up, but I’m already multi-tasking and afraid I might end up getting lost in a rabbit hole of internet content if I do 😆 Thank youuu😘

2024-12-11 23:48:28 +0000 UTCI think a lot of it is just because he’s “hot.” Sadly, people care more about stories if attractive people are involved. Lol 🙄

Shannon McNamara
2024-12-11 19:55:04 +0000 UTCI just don't understand how we have all this info of this guy but when the Trump shooting happened we barely heard a thing. Maybe was my algorithm but I think it's so strange how things are unfolding with Luigi

2024-12-11 18:35:54 +0000 UTCGreat episode Shannon, loved your takes! If anyone's interested......the tea at Penn (I'm a student there) is that it seems like the school is scrubbing any mention of him. An article about a gaming club he founded is gone, and even the instagram account for his fraternity went private. Craziest thing was that my ex was in the same frat, I've been to their house MANY times. If only I had looked at the class portraits on the wall, he probably would have been there 😳

2024-12-11 18:34:10 +0000 UTCPlease look at the 286 number with him on twitter. It’s nuts Shan! I can tag you in it if need be but there’s a thread with the username DiamondEyesFox

2024-12-11 17:36:48 +0000 UTCOkay also as a roseca girlie I am wondering if there was a major temp difference between Penn and NY. If it was colder and he was standing outside it would make sense to have the redness come up. But if he’d been sitting indoors at a regular temp like 65 degrees or so maybe it wouldn’t have flared up. For me the redness peaks when I’m either in the cold for a long time or am hot/freshly exercised

2024-12-11 17:00:39 +0000 UTCI have not finished the episode I’m only at minute 22 and I could be totally wrong about this, but I thought he was living in Japan after Hawaii so I don’t think it would be that weird to have those things tweeted at him. I’m thinking maybe he agreed to be in a friend or fraternity bros wedding party, but hasn’t heard from him in a while and maybe heard from mutual friends that he is living abroad and the only way to reach him is to publicly tweet him. Again, just my theory, but I personally don’t think the tweets are that weird. Maybe the tweeters have already exhausted themselves by texting, dming, posting about his disappearance that they have moved to just straight up tweeting at him.

2024-12-11 14:39:27 +0000 UTCAmerica has the world’s most expensive healthcare system. We rank last making the 10 wealthiest countries in access and care. And we ranked 49th in life expectancy. The healthcare system rakes in 1.3 trillion dollars annually. More CEOs should be afraid.

2024-12-11 07:41:36 +0000 UTCGod I am grateful for my para-social relationship with Shannon! No one in my personal life cares about this story (!?!) So my first thought was that Shannon will be all over this and I can't wait to listen to her opinion/theories.
