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 41 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!

justin you are BLAST of fresh and welcomed fresh air. Thank you for your candor, your hilariousness, and sensitivity. You rock. Kristen B. is pretty awesome, too!!
Jolene Reimann
Why would any woman, based on his roll as Joe in You, would any woman lust for him? Penn is attractive in life but as Joe? What is wrong with people?
