Injecting Teenage Plasma: When Daddy Wants to Drink Your Youth

Super weird, slightly gross. Bryan Johnson, a Silicon Valley tycoon, injects his teenage son's blood into his veins, claiming it's the secret to everlasting youth. The boys explore the lack of science, the FDA warnings, and whether this strange "blood boy" trend is just anxiety dressed up in medical garb. Social media is causing a massive mental health crisis amongst teens and something has to change. One man can walk again after transplanting robot bits into his noggin. One social worker has mastered the art of improvising functional and hella fun games for seniors in homes and finally religion, it makes us do some wacky things… like tear our skin to shreds using blade tipped flails in the name of penance.
