Welcome to Stuff to Blow Your Mind from How StuffWorks.com.

Hey, welcome to Stuff to Blow Your Mind. My name is Robert Lamb.

And I'm Julie Douglas.

Julie, name for me your favorite beards. And then the world out there of bearded faces, which ones call to you the most? You mean the wearer of it? No, I'm just saying like you, of beards that you, I mean, I guess it's hard. How do you separate the wearer from the bearded? How do you separate the beard from the bearded?

I don't know. I'm staring at our producer right now, Noel, who has a wonderful beard. He does. It's a good beard. It's a friendly beard. It's a au current. That was an awful pronunciation. A very current. It's a good, it's a solid beard. Yeah. But you know, one of my favorite beers of all time, Aubrey de Grey.

Yes. It's a good, it's a solid beard. Yeah. But you know, one of my favorite beers of all time, Aubrey de Grey.

Yes.

This is the biogerontologist.

Yes, he has a straight up wizard beard, a long beard that you look at it and you're like, this is a man with wisdom.

This is a man of experience that I can trust to help me live forever.

Yeah.

And you know what?

I kind of had wondered, you know, I think I made the comment before in another episode when we were discussing some of his ideas about living forever.

You know, there was this idea of, well, if he shaved his beard, would he look 20 years

old or would he look 120? I don't know.'s that much facial hair going on. Yeah, and off the top of my head,

I don't know how old he is either, so we can't even factor that into it. No, but after sort of

looking at some of this research, I have a new view of Aubrey de Grey that I will discuss later

on in the podcast podcast because I don't

want to give anything away.

Okay.

It's interesting.
