Meet the Man Who's Not Worried About Death -- Because He's Never Going to Die
Manage episode 381595640 series 2990025
Here's hoping you and yours enjoyed a lovely Halloween!

Not only that, but his body — including his man parts — are going to revert to age 18 and stay that way. That is, if his algorithm works the way it's supposed to.
