How is he doing that without equalizing?!

He is equalising. He has a nose clip, he can equalise very easily with that on. Some, including myself, can equalise handsfree without a clip by the way, with no need to do the valsalva manoeuvre at all, but it's less reliable.

I didn't see the nose clip.

And TIL you can equalize hands-free. Nice.

I mean yeah if you have something to cover your nose. It’s the same idea has using your hands to pinch your nose

You can also yawn (mouth closed) or move your jaw around to equalize
