I don't start with the power nine.

I start with, here's the mystery I'm going to solve.

And then I take people on the journey with me.

And at the end, they get the secret to longevity.

You know, I did a Netflix series called Live to 100 Secrets of the Blue Zones.

which won three Emmy Awards.

I only tell you that because people are more likely to watch it if it won Emmy Awards.

But I met a cowboy named Ramirez.

And this is a guy who rides about 10 miles a day.

He herds cattle.

He throws a lasso.

He's a good dancer.

He's got this wonderful extended family.

And we thought that he might be lying about his age.

So in Costa Rica, everybody gets issued a ID card with a sequential number.

So if I was born yesterday from you, for example, a day earlier than you, my number would be lower than your number.

And somebody born a day after you would have a higher number.

So it's almost impossible for people to lie about their age.

So we first took his ID number and went to the National Archives and we found that indeed he is 100.

And here's a guy who magically somehow now he's 101.
