Life is Short with Justin Long

Life Is Short(er): King Charles, Single Dad Eagle, and Mouth Pleasure 🦟

Justin and Christian cover a wide range of topics today, including King Charles’s very low comedy bar, how a captive male eagle tried to hatch a rock, how hummingbirds are dirty birds, and that chimps and gorillas can communicate with each other. Then, Lee writes in asking what it was like to work on “Tusk,” and her WYR makes them realize that they both get more mouth pleasure from solids than liquids. Finally, Katie calls in (for the 4th time) to ask if there was ever any jealousy in the family when Justin started having success as an actor.Listen ad free with Wondery+.

Is it just me or is time flying by? How do we make the most out of our short time here on Earth? That’s what we’re here to find out. I’m Justin Long and I’ve been an actor for most of my life, so I’m used to getting inside the heads of the characters I play. But now that I’m getting older (I’m in my forties, yikes), I want to peek inside the heads of real people to learn how they find meaning in life. I’m also very curious what their favorite snack food is, and what emoji they use most often — ya know, the REALLY important stuff. Every episode I’ll get personal with all kinds of people, from actors to musicians to deep thinkers who fascinate me. My brother Christian is on hand each episode to keep me honest, and occasionally remind me about some of the embarrassing things I’ve done over the years. Join us, or if you have more important things to do, that’s okay too — life is short!Listen to Life is Short on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.
