In this powerful clip from "Black Out with Ian & Rashad," hosts Rashad Bilal and Ian Dunlap dive into a thought-provoking discussion sparked by a revealing conversation between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping. A hot mic moment (or was it intentional?) leads to bold claims: Could biotech advancements help humans live to 150 years old, or even reach immortality?

Rashad kicks things off by recounting the viral Instagram clip and insights from Mark Mondays. The conversation expands beyond world leaders as the hosts break down Putin’s and Xi’s statements, diving into questions like:

- **What does it mean when Putin says 70 is "young" now, and is age really just a number?**

- **Are our perceptions of “young” and “old” holding us back psychologically and socially?**

- **Could organ transplants and biotechnologies really extend our lives well into the next century—or beyond?**

- **Will these radical breakthroughs be accessible to all, or only a privileged few?**

- **How does this debate fit into global power struggles, innovation, and even the economy?**

Ian shares his skepticism about the so-called “hot mic” moment—are we really hearing something that was meant to be secret? He connects the conversation to possible medical innovations coming out of Russia, potential cures for diseases like cancer, and how these advancements could shift economic and political power worldwide.

Rashad and Ian also get personal, asking each other the deep question: *Would you actually want to live forever?* Their answers reveal the complex reality of longevity, from the challenges of watching friends and loved ones age and pass, to changing social bonds, and how our mindset about aging shapes how we live.

This clip challenges the way we think about life, death, and what it means to be “old” or “young.” From world politics to family, from medical science to self-perception, Black Out with Ian & Rashad serves up real conversation, sharp insights, and a touch of humor as always.

- Are YOU ready for a world where 150 is the new normal?

- Would you want to live forever—or is there a sweet spot for a well-lived life?
