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!

I recently met Justin Long and he is super nice and listening to his podcast he really does seem like a very laid back kind of guy, and funny too.
Rose Christenson
The only guest without some annoying, random emoji in the title.

Love this show. Justin Long is awesome and humble and does not bang on about what movies he did once or at least not as much as Kevin Pollack. Keep it up dude. Awesome. FYI your brother is fantastic too and love the recap at the end.

There are wrestling personas that really require more acting and getting into character than others. I guess you guys do need to see more of pro-wrestling. edit: I just watched this. May be you can check it out, it's very entertaining & educational. A peek into one of wrestling's greatest characters. https://youtu.be/VYvMOf3hsGA

Justin, my love my darling, love you need you you’re doing great. But you have GOT to shhh when your guest is telling a really compelling story. You’re so excited and that’s great, but you talked on top of her way too many times.
Lukas Parker

Speaking of 6 degrees of kevin bacon, I just found out that one of his distant brothers is one of our clients for where I work. I live out in Saskatchewan, Canada

Nothing particularly special about this podcast. Another celebrity talking to celebrities. However, I'll probably still listen to it. I've always liked Justin Long. He seems like a fun and normal guy and those are the celebrities I like to support. He would be somebody that I would be friends with in real life if I knew him. It is unfortunate he didn't use his name to contribute something other than simple entertainment interviews, but still appreciate his time. Hopefully this does well :)

boring interview
