Factually! with Adam Conover

You are going to die. And I am too! But because of this fact, we are fascinated by people who push the final day off as long as possible, and those who promise to prevent it. But what if I told you that pretty much all of it is BULLSHIT? Today I'm joined by Dr. Saul Justin Newman, a research fellow at the Oxford Institute of Population Ageing. He won an Ig-Nobel prize for showing most claims of extreme human aging are garbage. And recently, he wrote an incredibly funny, and appropriately pissed off book about all the problems at the root of longevity science called Morbid: Debunking Modern Longevity Science.
