Monica confirms that Anna Kendrick was correct: Maine has the highest proportion of residents aged 65+ in the US, followed by Florida and West Virginia. Dax is surprised Arizona ranks only 12th. Utah is last, which Dax attributes to high Mormon birth rates. A producer pulls up 2019 life expectancy data: Hawaii tops the list at 82.3 years, California is second, while Mississippi (74.9) and West Virginia (74.8) are near the bottom despite West Virginia being the third 'oldest' state. The paradox prompts a discussion about religion, heaven, and why deeply Christian communities might not be in a rush to get there — Dax finds this puzzling and says so with characteristic irreverence. The segment closes with Monica reading from research on polygraph tests, summarising that there is no known physiological pattern unique to deception, making lie detectors better described as 'fear detectors.'
