Is Life Too Long? Agree or Disagree?
Summary
A straphanger took a life expectancy test, got 95, and immediately started smoking cigarettes. That's his response to realizing he might live nearly a century. He's not saying we should get rid of the olds, but he personally wants to check out around 64. Kareem pushes back, pointing out plenty of octogenarians who seem to be doing fine, making films and dating younger people. The rider isn't convinced. When's the last time you saw an 80-year-old truly living well? The conversation turns into an oddly morbid debate about whether longevity is actually a blessing or just too much time on earth.

Life is too long. 100% disagree? Life is too long. Life is too long. I'm not saying we should get rid of the olds. I'm just saying I don't want to live to 95. I took one of those life expectancy tests and I got 95 and I started smoking cigarettes immediately.
You don't feel blessed? No, I feel very blessed. I just seen 95. Technically you're pro-life?
I think wait, no. You're you're not pro-life, correct? I'm pro-choice and I choose to end at like 64.
You want to end at 64? I'm done, dud. Out. Yeah, when's the last time you saw a 80-year-old was like, "Man, he's living good. He's got a long healthy life"?
I see a lot of 80-year-olds that are like hanging out, relaxing. They make films, they date younger people. Oh yeah, yeah yeah. So what's your take?
