00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,840
Speaker 1: Brought to you by the reinvented two thousand twelve camera.

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 1: It's ready. Are you welcome to Stuff you Should Know?

3
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 1: From House Stuff Works dot com. Hey, and welcome to

4
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 1: the podcast. I'm Josh Clark. There's Chuck Bryant. It's freezing

5
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:17,279
Speaker 1: in here. It's not that cold you need to put

6
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 1: on a sweater or something. Well, uh, I didn't expect

7
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 1: it to be chilly. It is a little chilly. Our

8
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:24,280
Speaker 1: producer Jerry's wearing a hooded twitter and the vest. That's

9
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: kind of a giveaway. Chuck, Well, she stylished the way

10
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: she is she is. So everybody, Um, if you haven't

11
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: figured out by now, this is stuff you should know. Um.

12
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 1: And uh, Chuck and I are going to talk about death.

13
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: It's part of our death suite kind of yeah, yeah,

14
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 1: realized Everest Bizarre and then this one. Right, And if

15
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: you don't know what we're talking about, it means that

16
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,520
Speaker 1: they've been published out of order. So just look forward

17
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 1: to a lot of death from S Y s K. Right. Yes, Okay,

18
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: So Chuck, I'm pretty sure you're fully aware that I

19
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: don't leave a very healthy life. I yes, I know

20
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: that have certain vices that are disgusting and um, suicidal. Right,

21
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: that's one of many. Basically I shouldn't be walking around

22
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 1: right now. Um, and I've come to um kind of

23
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 1: take hope in. Uh. Someone who's become one of my

24
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: personal heroes a woman named Madame Jeanne Clement. And Madame

25
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,680
Speaker 1: Clement was a frenchwoman, as her name would indicate, and

26
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: she in she died happy and healthy, um and a

27
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty two years old. Amazing. And the greatest

28
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: part about Madame Clement is that she smoked until she

29
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: was a hundred. So I've got what sixty eight more

30
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: years before i have to quit, if you know, I

31
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: want to possibly live to a hundred and twenty two,

32
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: to live another twenty two years, right, and there there

33
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: are caveats to that, right, Um, you know, I plan

34
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: on raging against the dying of the light unless you know,

35
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: I get like a terminal cancer diagnosis or there's something

36
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: that that I'm not going to be able to get

37
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: out of and it equals like horrible death and then yeah, yeah,

38
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: I'm yeah, I'm not going to go go easy. No,

39
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: actually no, the opposite. I'm gonna go very easy, but

40
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: it will be by my own hand. Yeah, so that's

41
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: my plan. But I'd rather lived a hundred twenty two

42
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: and just you know, have the a FP take photos

43
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: of me and post them on Getty images that kind

44
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: of thing. You just want to be a hundred with

45
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: a smoke in your hand, Yeah, totally, and be like,

46
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: don't smoke, kids, it's really bad for you. My grandmother

47
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: lived to be a hundred, did Yeah you know what, right?

48
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, a hundred years old? Yes, there's another word

49
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: for that. Is it a centurion? That's very close? Did

50
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: she combat people and and or anything? No, centenarian centenary.

51
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 1: Anybody who lives to age one hundred or older is

52
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: automatically a centenarian, right. She passed away between one hundred

53
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 1: and one one. Good for her. She made it to

54
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: this centenarian status. So, um, what was she a healthy person?

55
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: Did she lead a healthy life? Yeah? I mean she

56
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: was from the South and uh so she ingested a

57
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 1: lot of grease and fried foods over her life. But

58
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: she didn't drink and she didn't smoke. She you know,

59
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: grew on vegetable stuff like that. Now, that's that's generally

60
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: the rule of thumb. If you're going to lead a

61
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: very long life, especially a healthy long life. They're certainly like,

62
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: you can't drink, you can't smoke, you have to foreswear

63
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff. Um, So basically you can lead

64
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: a long, healthy, boring life, right. Um. But there's people

65
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: like Madame Clement who kind of fly in the face

66
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: of this notion, like you're you're she she should have

67
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: been dead many many years before she did die from

68
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: lung cancer, lung cancer, heart disease, any any number of things, um,

69
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: and she wasn't. So that kind of leads us to

70
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: this question of how can people like her? And she's

71
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,839
Speaker 1: not the only one. She's definitely a rarity, but she's

72
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: not the only person who who's lived that that led

73
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: us slightly unhealthy life but lived a very long, healthy one.

74
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: So how is this possible? Right? And this is there's

75
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 1: actually a field of research, aging research, dedicated to longevity,

76
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 1: so it's not dumb luck. But they're trying to figure

77
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: out there's got to be something to this. Yeah, And

78
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 1: the weird thing is is I have a pretty high

79
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: chance of actually making it a lot longer than I should,

80
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: although I should probably insert here as you know, the

81
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: death clock gives me till but a gypsy once. I'm sorry,

82
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: a Roma once read my palm and told me I

83
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: had till eighty seven. So I'm not sure which one's right.

84
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna go with the Roma. Well, what

85
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:48,919
Speaker 1: would the other one put you at? Um, sixty five?

86
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: I think, well, between six and eighty seven, that's pretty good. Well,

87
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: the thing is is if I if I make it

88
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: to sixty five, I'm that's not very long. Yeah, eighty

89
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: seven is definitely long, but I think if you look

90
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: at it in perspective, by the time i'm eighty seven,

91
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: eight seven will probably be like sixty five is now.

92
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: Either way I'm going down, I can tell, but you'll

93
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: look like you're exactly So. Um, how did we get

94
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: on this one? You need you to leave me back there, buddy,

95
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: Well we need to go back. It's Jeans, Josh oh No. First, first, yes,

96
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: they're pretty sure that it is Jenes. Surely there's a

97
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 1: genetic cause. And the whole reason why there's pretty much

98
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 1: evidentiary proof that that genes do play role is that

99
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: this whole families of centenarians and if if genetics didn't

100
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: play a major role in longevity, uh, then the the

101
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: probability of a family having like three or four UM

102
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 1: centenarians is like astronomically unlikely, right, So, yes, genes play

103
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: a role, but there's another mechanism that the kind of

104
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: a physiological mechanism, the starvation. Yeah, yeah, restricted caloric intake.

105
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: And it's gonna say, right it is, well just you know,

106
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: just through observation um and in studies in like worms

107
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 1: and uh, I think yeast, yeast, yeast ratch, which is

108
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: a fun guy, not a plant, by the way, we've

109
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: learned many times over. Yeah, but the rats in particular

110
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: are the ones who are really kind of giving up

111
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: the secrets of what genes might lie behind us. But

112
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: you want to talk about a clerk restricted diet first,

113
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: and what happens with that, Well, yeah, they found out

114
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: they did some like you were talking about tests on rats,

115
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: and they found that the rats fewer calories than their

116
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: beefy counterparts, uh called caloric restriction. Uh. They live longer,

117
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: so and healthier. Evidently longer and healthier. Part of it

118
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:51,359
Speaker 1: is a leanness leads to um longevity and health. Generally,

119
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: fat is although our body has a mechanism for storing

120
00:06:55,480 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: it in. Uh. In the lean times, if you'll forgive me, Um,

121
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: it's actually not very good for us. We we make

122
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 1: much better use of carbohydrates and proteins UM and other nutrients. Um.

123
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: That's kind of like that. The it's it's the bottom

124
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: of the barrel nutrient right right. I know when I

125
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: was doing my survival work in the how long can

126
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: you live without food and water? That kind of thing

127
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: that when you start to starve, your fats are the

128
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: first thing to go than carbohydrates and the proteins, which

129
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: means that's your body itself. Right. So um, So we

130
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: know that a caloric restricted diet is a good thing,

131
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: but we just what what longevity researchers are trying to

132
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: figure out it is exactly how this keeps us um

133
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: healthy and the mechanism behind it. Right. So, one one

134
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: of the genes that's been studied is the s I

135
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: R T one gene. That's one, and it's my favorite

136
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: the longevity genes. Yes, well mind the other one. We'll

137
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: get to this, okay. Well, which, by the way, I've

138
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: dubbed the ponta da leon gene like that. Did you

139
00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: notice that in the article that was all Josh I believe, Okay? So, Um,

140
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: the s I R T one gene actually curiously was

141
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: studied by two independent studies, one at Harvard and one

142
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 1: at m I T. And they both published their findings

143
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: in June two four, within like sixteen days of one another. Yeah,

144
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: it kind of makes me wonder if they were, you know,

145
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 1: looking on each other's test paper. Can't you see like

146
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 1: some eggheads like huddled over like the study um so uh.

147
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: What one of them found was that the s i

148
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: r T one gene inhibits the expression of this protein

149
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: called backs. Right, no matter whether your cells are doing

150
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 1: well or damaged, they have a specific life time right

151
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: right there, They have a lifespan and they could be

152
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: healthy as an ox. But once they reached this the

153
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 1: end of this lifespan, um, this protein backs comes in

154
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: and actually creates a poptosis, and a poptosis is um

155
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 1: program cellular death. Like it's an execute. Wow. Now, what

156
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:03,599
Speaker 1: s i r T one does is it prevents the

157
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: expression of of backs, right, and so therefore it grant

158
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: sells a stay of execution so they can keep working longer.

159
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: And it's ultimately cellular death that that leads to death

160
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: from old age, non disease, non environmental factors, but just

161
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:24,719
Speaker 1: your cell stop dividing and reproducing and stop function about it. Right,

162
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: So the s I r T one gene has been

163
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 1: shown to produce that, right, But it also um it

164
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: also creates a process where fat is shed more quickly,

165
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: so you become leaner basically with a reduced calorie diet,

166
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: your body inner survival mode and s I r T

167
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: one really comes into play. But as you said, you

168
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: have another favorite gene, which indicates that there's that's not

169
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: the only gene involved in this. No, and and I'll

170
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: likelihood there's probably more than one gene involved at a

171
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 1: time as well. Yeah, there's there's a guy who's conducting

172
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: his study of massage you sits on longevity, and he

173
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: he says probably about eight thousand genes are responsible for it.

174
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:10,199
Speaker 1: Is that Dawkins. No, that's Pearls I believe is his name.

175
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: We'll get the Dawkins too, right, Yeah, oh yeah, I

176
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: promise me. I promised, uh, my favorite gene, Josh. And

177
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,079
Speaker 1: this category is I don't know how you would say it,

178
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 1: f O x O three so three A I like

179
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: fox O three A. Yeah, that's what we'll call it.

180
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 1: And that when they tested on worms and it had

181
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: a definite effect on the lifespan of a worm. Uh.

182
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: They were able to turn this gene on and off

183
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: by adding compounds that basically target and shut down these

184
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 1: specific genes. Yeah, they're called the gene silencing compounds. They've

185
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 1: used them to create tearless onions. Oh really, Yeah, how

186
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: I need to get some of those stuff kills me.

187
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 1: I prepared to pay seventeen bucks an onion. Nough pal really. Oh,

188
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: genetic research didn't come cheap. Yeah, I guess I'll just

189
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: fry as they cook. Uh. So um. Yeah, they found

190
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,200
Speaker 1: out when they had the gene turned on, the worms

191
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 1: lived a lot longer. So uh. They also found that

192
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: the same gene was in a lot of elderly Japanese people,

193
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: and Okinawa has the largest concentration per capita of centenarians

194
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: anywhere else in the world. And centurions, yeah, they're still

195
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 1: running around. Uh. And they also found it in elderly Germans.

196
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 1: So that kind of proved that it's not you know,

197
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 1: drawn along continental or racial bounds. Right. And there's there's

198
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: there's another Um, there's another gene. It's the insulin growth

199
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: factor one gene one, yeah, good one. And they found

200
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 1: that in a in a population of Ashkenazi Jews. You

201
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: know what those are? Look that up. I I know,

202
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: apparently they're Jewish people that from medieval Jewish people in

203
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:53,079
Speaker 1: Western Germany, so direct descendants of that line. I got you,

204
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: all right, Yeah, I knew that they were a very

205
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 1: specific um group. But they found in women in this

206
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: group that the i g F one gene had a mutation,

207
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: and i g F one is partly responsible for creating

208
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: growth hormone. And these women are generally small in stature

209
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 1: as well. Um, and one of the researchers who connected

210
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 1: the study on them, I just found this kind of

211
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: flawed logic. I mean, it makes sense, but sometimes biologists,

212
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 1: geneticists and you know, evolutionists make certain leaps. They go

213
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 1: from A to C without hitting B as we like

214
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 1: to say, which I've done before. And yeah, I was

215
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 1: not mad at you, by the way. Um. So this

216
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: one researcher positive that, you know, because they're smaller, they're

217
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 1: living longer, and a pony lives longer than a horse.

218
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: And I was, I don't know, for some reason that

219
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: just I was like, back that up, dude, you know, um,

220
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: But I think the more likely explanation is that cancer

221
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 1: has been shown to be fueled by growth hormones. So

222
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 1: if you're producing last, that would lead you to believe

223
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: that you're you have less of a likelihood of dying

224
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,679
Speaker 1: of candida. That's an adcy I can get behind right now.

225
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 1: The the problem is is this shouldn't just express itself

226
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 1: in women, this mutation or should it. Let's talk about

227
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 1: Richard Dawkins zoologists. Yes, yes, he has a theory that

228
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: um or perhaps a hypothesis, as we've been corrected, not

229
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 1: the same thing. That everything that can reproduce basically is

230
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 1: only a vessel for its genes, for carrying out you know,

231
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,479
Speaker 1: and putting your genes and your son or daughter, and

232
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 1: then that goes on and their son or daughter, and

233
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 1: it's a vessel essentially. Right, We're basically like a yeah,

234
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: we're a vessel for a genetic line. Almost it's so

235
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: disturbing to look at it like this, but almost like

236
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 1: a parasite, you know what I'm saying. Like everything we're doing,

237
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: every flaw we have, every every good thing that's going

238
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: on with us is genetic, right, and then we die,

239
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 1: but our genetic klein gets passed on. It's surely so

240
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: if you look at it like that, then the genes

241
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 1: would only be concerned with getting us to reproduction age,

242
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: and they wouldn't care whether or not. Right that, they

243
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: wouldn't concern itself with the Evolutionarily speaking, it's pretty interesting.

244
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,319
Speaker 1: But the thing is is, um, there is a case

245
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: you could make for women having longevity genes but not men. Well,

246
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: so they could reproduce longer. Yeah, they would have a

247
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: healthier lifespan and thus their reproductive age would be greater,

248
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: so they could produce more offspring and the genetic line

249
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 1: would would have even more of a chance of survival. Yeah,

250
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: but women only produced reproduced for what like half their

251
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: life roughly, I don't I don't think even that. Let's

252
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: say like fifteen to fifty. Yeah, I was just thinking

253
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: about the end date. Actually that's probably about half a lifetime. Sure, Yeah,

254
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 1: depending on who you are. Although fifty I don't even

255
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 1: know if you could do that. That's probably kind of

256
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: a freak occurrence if you're fifty and have a kid. Yeah,

257
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 1: I think anything over forty is isn't always guaranteed yeh.

258
00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: And medically speaking, even a thirty five is considered how

259
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: risk pregnancy today inya, so that's Dawkins position, and um

260
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: the O B g y n Ruth Fettes was the

261
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 1: one who posited that um hypothesis of that explanation of

262
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: why women would have a long devity gene and not men. Clearly,

263
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 1: though we don't really have an idea yet, or else

264
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 1: we we, this podcast would have been much shorter. We

265
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 1: would have said, it's the FOXO three a gene. You know,

266
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: it could be, it could have a part, It could be,

267
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: but I think more likely it's it's a bunch of

268
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: jeens working together. Yeah, and once we figure it out,

269
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: we're gonna figure out how to harness it. We're all

270
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: gonna be walking around at twenty five getting in boxing

271
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 1: matches with kangaroos. Still, Uh, We're you gonna mention the

272
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: Hayflick limit because I thought that was kind of cool.

273
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 1: You kind of talked about it earlier, but that I

274
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 1: didn't know this until i'd read the article. You were

275
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 1: talking about cells having a shelf life basically until they

276
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 1: can die out or as many times as they can

277
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: can split, and the Hayflick limit. Um. Dr Hayflick Leonard

278
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 1: Hayflick noticed that fifty times is the number that a

279
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: cell can can split and then it stops. Right. But

280
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 1: he also figured out that if you take an old

281
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: cell and put a young nucleus in it, it'll keep

282
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: going just also very coolm right. And then as it

283
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 1: as it reaches closer and closer to that fifty fifty

284
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 1: division limit, it starts to slow down more and more,

285
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: and then it finally gets the fifty and stops. But yeah,

286
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 1: you can, um, you can replace the nucleus and it

287
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 1: will jam on it interesting, much like a old man

288
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: goes after a younger woman. Let's go out on a

289
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 1: morality tail, Chuck. I think that's a good idea. Yeah,

290
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: you want to talk about old Tom Parr. Old Tom Parr.

291
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 1: Is that actually how he's known? Actually they knew him

292
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: as old par but yeah Tom Parr. Yeah, but old

293
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: Tom Parr. Yeah, I could. I could hardly believe this,

294
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 1: but since you came up with it, I will believe it.

295
00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 1: Um par was a hundred I'm sorry. He was born

296
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 1: in fourteen eighty three, so we need to point out

297
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,479
Speaker 1: that at the time, in fourteen eighty three year lifespan

298
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 1: was what two something like that, That's what I read. Um.

299
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: He lived as a single man until he was eighty,

300
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 1: so he more than doubled his lifespan already, which is amazing.

301
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 1: And then he got married and started having kids at

302
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 1: eighty and at a hundred. Uh he apparently fathered an

303
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 1: illegitimate child with another woman. Yeah, he was publicly chastised. Uh.

304
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: He was three times the age at this point almost

305
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 1: and he had an llegitimate Yeah. Yeah, he was killing

306
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 1: it basically. Um. Everybody else is just dying around him

307
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: and he's fathering illegitimate children at age one hundred, right, Um,

308
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:48,239
Speaker 1: and he actually uh, he became fairly well known in

309
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:52,120
Speaker 1: England as you can imagine. Um, his birthdate is tentative,

310
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: but they're pretty sure based on the age that he

311
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: supposedly entered the service, um that he was born around.

312
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 1: So yeah, and they know exactly when he died. So

313
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: even if it was off, it could have been off

314
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 1: by not too terribly much. Huh. Um. So so this guy,

315
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 1: he was asked many times like what his secret was.

316
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 1: And he was like a real salt of the earth

317
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 1: farmer who liked to you know, father illegitimate children. Um.

318
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 1: But he ate like a very steady diet. Um. He

319
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 1: drank um, not meat, I guess he drank ale fairly regularly,

320
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,879
Speaker 1: but he I vibed in cider only on special occasions,

321
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: So I guess cider was a lot stronger back hard stuff. Yeah. Um,

322
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 1: And he just kind of lived as much of a

323
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: healthy life as people lived in the fifteen, sixteenth, and

324
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: seventeen centuries. The guy made it to see three centuries right,

325
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 1: unbelievable what God him was at the age of a

326
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:48,120
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty two? Um, this this uh courtier who

327
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:51,360
Speaker 1: had fallen out of grace with King Charles um decided

328
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 1: he was going to get back in the King's good

329
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 1: graces by bringing old Tom Parr to court and basically

330
00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 1: parading him around. Like check, this whole guy always a

331
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 1: hunt two. So old Tom Parr this is first taste

332
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 1: of like court life and basically he parties like a

333
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:11,920
Speaker 1: rock star for two weeks dead. And I mean, you

334
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: think a hundred and fifty two now is just unthinkable.

335
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 1: And this is when the average life fan is thirty

336
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 1: two years, so I can't even imagine he must have been.

337
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 1: That was a terrible idea, it was, And you have

338
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: to imagine, like did King Charles in this disgraced courtier.

339
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: I mean, like It's almost like um ending up with

340
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: some sort of thrill kill Colt and then you know,

341
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 1: dying because you weren't. You're totally out of like your

342
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 1: your league, you know, kind of thing like did they

343
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 1: feel bad that they killed old m bar getting him

344
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,199
Speaker 1: wasted and feeding him pig and duck and stuff he

345
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: had never written before? So yeah, I bet they did. Yeah,

346
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 1: I can't tell. I'm curious. I wonder if the history

347
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: books write about stuff like that. Well, let's find out.

348
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: Chucking will check out, give an update, and we will

349
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: follow up. Yeah, well, there's plenty more to read. All

350
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: you have to do is type in uh, some of

351
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 1: the world's oldest people or old then unhealthy in the

352
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 1: handy search bar at how stuff works dot com. So, Chuck,

353
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 1: let's did you know I have a question for you?

354
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 1: Did you know that if you my friend went onto

355
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 1: iTunes right now and typed in super stuffed to words

356
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: into their search bar, our spoken word album would come up.

357
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 1: Spoken word album. We have a spoken word album, Chuck.

358
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 1: I know that you were kind of zonked for a

359
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,360
Speaker 1: while while we were doing this. We had to prop

360
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 1: him up like a dope monkey. Um, but he did

361
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,919
Speaker 1: a great job. Regardless. I can only imagine if we

362
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 1: get to do another one, which is largely contingent on

363
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 1: how many we sell this one. Um that if you're

364
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 1: not doped up, we will be able to really excel

365
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,640
Speaker 1: at it. Yeah, so, um, you want to talk about

366
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 1: it for a second. Sure, it's it's called the Stuff

367
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 1: You Should Know, super Stuffed Guide to the Economy, and

368
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 1: Josh and I talk about economics on a broad level

369
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 1: and on a small level, granular level, and uh we

370
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 1: kind of break it down for the for the everyday

371
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 1: Joe that doesn't really understand what's going on in the

372
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,439
Speaker 1: world of economics, which makes sense because we're every day

373
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 1: Joe's got it or layman. I think, as we've put

374
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,119
Speaker 1: it before, right are Yeah, So it's up for what

375
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:14,400
Speaker 1: it's an hour long, it's got all sorts of bells

376
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:18,640
Speaker 1: and whistles, interviews. Yeah, there's professional or expert interviews. So yeah,

377
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: it's it's not just like our regular podcast times four,

378
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: it's it's exponentially better. Right. We get out of the studio,

379
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 1: which is nice for us. Yeah. I think we cut

380
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 1: out a lot of buzz, which is vastly different from

381
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 1: our regular pod, much more professional. Uh So, Yeah, there's

382
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,919
Speaker 1: our there's our plug for our audiobook The Stuff You

00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,600

00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,879
Speaker 1: a few weeks now, maybe a month, and we're starting

389
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:59,040

398
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 1: check it out right, Okay, so chuck us about the blogs?

399
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:33,719
Speaker 1: Is it time for listener mailed Josh? This one um

400
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 1: comes to us from a post postal service worker named

401
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 1: Scott and he's from Pismo Beach, California. And remember we

402
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,639
Speaker 1: did our thing on junk mail. Yes, and how awful

403
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 1: and evil it is. Turns out junk mail is actually

404
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:51,400
Speaker 1: keeping the Postal Service in business really a large degree. Yeah,

405
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 1: and this is something we never consider, and that's why

406
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 1: we wanted to read this, because sometimes there's another side

407
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 1: of the coin that that we don't really realize, and

408
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 1: this is definitely the case. Um, Josh and Chuck, you

409
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 1: guys feel like a couple of old poker buddies to me.

410
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 1: Very nice way to keep going there. Scott Um writing

411
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: in response to junk mail. I'm a letter carrier for

412
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 1: the US Postal Service, and I can assure you that

413
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 1: on a superficial level, I hate junk mail even more

414
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 1: than you. I sometimes loathe having to mess with all

415
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,680
Speaker 1: that seemingly used to scarbage on a daily basis. However,

416
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: it is a huge source of revenue for the Postal

417
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 1: Service and surprisingly it does provide a substantial return for advertisers.

418
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 1: And these increasingly difficult, difficult economic times, we post employees

419
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,640
Speaker 1: are becoming concerned about the future of our jobs. Mail

420
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 1: volumes dropped rapidly in the so called junk mails, providing

421
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 1: us with much need of business if it were to

422
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: disappear so would all of our jobs. So before you

423
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 1: can call an all out assault on this admittedly minor annoyance,

424
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,920
Speaker 1: please take a moment to reconsider. I'm willing to put

425
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 1: up a little mailbox clutter to keep alive one of

426
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 1: our nation's oldest and most important professions. From Scott and m.

427
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 1: Giddy up Scott and I believe Eve. Just last week

428
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 1: the Postal Service announced a lot of layoffs and this

429
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 1: was just a few days ago, So it kind of

430
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 1: think we're responsible for it, think so, I hope not?

431
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,159
Speaker 1: So what we'll tell people then? Junk mail apparently is

432
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 1: keeping the postal service open, so do your best to

433
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 1: recycle it and uh and deal with things that way.

434
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 1: If you want to be taken off a list, you

435
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 1: can be taken off a list, But we can't completely

436
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 1: stop jumpmail, or else there would be no more Pony Express.

437
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 1: It also makes for really good artwork too. Yeah. Well,

438
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 1: if you want to give us another perspective, I'm reality.

439
