Life is Short with Justin Long

Life Is Short(er): Gay Dads, Ninja Turtles, and Movie Memories 🧜🏾‍♀️

Justin and Christian discuss both what they did over the previous weekend, and the latest news about The Weeknd (he's now going by his real name, Abel Tesfaye). Then the guys read a letter from a listener named Jenn who raves about “Happy Campers,” they discuss the tragic passing of talented actor Brad Renfro and answer a very emotional Would You Rather question. Finally, we hear a sweet voicemail from Sam about his love of the Muppets, and he asks what the first movie the guys remember seeing in the theater. 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.
