Summary

This week I am bringing back one of my favorite episodes of Too Much Money, the show I created with Doree Shafrir of Forever 35 about the ridiculous sh*t that billionaire do with their billions. This one is a delight. What’s the gift that keeps on giving and giving and giving? Immortality of course, and it is the eternal brass ring that so many billionaires are trying to get their grubby hands on. Join us as we tell the tale of centi-millionaire Bryan Johnson’s efforts to reverse his biological age. This real life Benjamin Button takes more than a hundred supplements a day, only eats in the morning and gets injections of his teenage son’s blood. But at what cost? Is living forever worth it when you strip life of all its joys? Binge all the episodes of Too Much Money here. Find Forever 35 here. Join our newsletter community here.

0:00.0	Hello all, happy Sunday, and welcome to Sunday Nice Things.
0:09.7	It is loud in my house right now.
0:12.5	Just really loud.
0:14.5	There's no other way to describe it.
0:17.5	There's a lot talking and yelling and singing, which is nice, but not when combined with the talking and the
0:25.6	yelling. So you can hear all the peoples right now. These are what Sundays are like for me these
0:31.5	days. About this time last year, I started a podcast project with my good friend Dory Schifrear about
0:37.1	people with too much money.
0:39.2	Sadly, podcasts take a lot of work to make, and it's tough to make money from a new podcast.
0:43.4	So we stopped making the podcast too much money, but I think it's more important than ever now,
0:48.2	especially because these oligarchs are essentially controlling our government.
0:52.9	So for the next few Sunday nice things, I'm going to
0:54.8	bring back some old episodes of too much money. They're a lot of fun. It's just the gonzo banana
1:00.2	stuff that billionaires do when they have the ability to buy anything in the entire world. And this
1:04.4	episode is one of my favorites. It's about the billionaires trying to buy immortality. It's always
1:09.5	the worst dudes who want to live forever. And the things
1:12.1	they're doing to try to extend their lifespan are truly remarkably ridiculous. I love this episode.
1:18.4	I'm going to drop the feed for too much money in the show notes so you can binge all of them
1:21.2	if you want. Enjoy. This one's a doozy.
1:23.6	Like a mite is touched by the very first time. I make decisions with my wallet, not my mind.
1:31.3	Too much money for one person to control.
1:38.3	Ooh, audacity will not buy back your soul.
