Description
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 43 now, 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!

very...poorly edited, frustrating.
I always took Eeyore looking for his tail was a joke on the game Pin the tail on the donkey 😂
talks about short legs. ironic because he really has congenitally Long legs.
I wish Justin would talk less and listen more. I look forward to certain interviews and then I end up learning more about Justin and very little about the guest. I would have loved to hear about Peter's views on Twilight. Also, how could he possibly interview this man and not watch the films first!
there is never a bad time to do a buffalo bill impersonation
what a great conversation
How are you Justin do his voice like that. Fantastic. Big big fan of Some kind of Wonderful!!!
zzz...
This is the most lighthearted conversation so far. Geeky and fun!
crackle crackle
Justin, dude I love you as an actor, you are hella funny ..
Best talk on rasist stuff unlike Dax has gone so left he's lost and bought up by network TV!! 🙄🙄$$ can change a person
why is he whispering the whole time? I have enjoyed hearing this guest speak on other podcasts before..but the whisper voice makes it unable to listen to : / bummer
Hmmmm not great. It's like he's not really listening to the guest and thinking of his next question to get out while.the guest talks. His camp sidekick brother is annoying aswell.
hey Justin i love your postcast Justin
Am your biggest fan of Alvin and the chipmunk Justin long😄😄😄😄😄😄
My turtle was Henry
Justin and Christian! can you boys get Scott Speedman on the show? that would be VERY cool. -Steve
boring
I do not understand why I enjoy listening to JE so much, but everything he's in, I just like, relax and thoroughly enjoy his rambling.
