    Life is Short with Justin Long

    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!

    Audible subscribers can listen to all episodes of Life is Short with Justin Long ad-free right now. Join Audible today by downloading the Audible app.

    Life Is Short(er): Letting Go, Elder Abuse, and TJ’s Insider 🐄 Jul 14, 2023
    Show notes

    The guys both have a lot to say about the Indiana Jones franchise, Justin visits a farm that makes him feel better about eating dairy and he recounts another chapter of the woodchuck versus garden saga. Then we read a letter from a fan who works for Trader Joe’s, and they give us some insight into why their cashiers always seems to ask somewhat personal questions while you’re checking out. Finally, Mateo writes in asking if we’re watching The Bachelorette these days (yes, of course we are), and his WYR ponders whether the guys would rather have seen The Beatles at Shea Stadium or as part of a TV audience…before ending with a classic Peter out.

    Show notes

    Ellie Kemper (Bridesmaids, The Office) and Justin find out they have very similar excitable energy as they discuss her new podcast “Born To Love,” the lasting impact of “Bridesmaids” and why it’s way more than just a “chick flick” (what does that even mean anyway?) and how they see the world differently now that they’re in their 40s.

    Show notes

    Ana Gasteyer (SNL, American Auto) and Justin talk about how social media apps are changing comedy, her newest show American Auto, how she became part of (arguably) the best cast of Saturday Night Live, and how her iconic NPR ladies sketch “Schweddy Balls” almost didn’t make it to TV.

    Show notes

    The guys talk about Justin’s recent efforts to Marie Kondo his childhood bedroom (and how he just couldn’t part with his baby blankie). Christian has a dream about trying to seduce Maggie on the same night that Maggie has a dream about trying to seduce Tom Hanks…what does it all mean?! Then we read a letter from Nell with the subject line “Farts,” so you know it’s going to be good. Finally, we hear a sweet voicemail from listener named Julia who found comfort in the show during a lot of late nights after giving birth to her baby daughter during the pandemic.

    Show notes

    The guys have a mutual nostalgic experience with Elmer’s Glue and they both indulge in the simple pleasure of peeling dry glue off of their hands like they did as kids. Meanwhile, Justin is still struggling with woodchucks ravaging his garden. An Aussie listener named Kieran writes in with a very flattering letter about how the show is better than Smartless (sorry, Bateman), and they include couple Would You Rathers for the guys to ponder. Finally, Andrea calls in with the great news that the show inspired her to make her own podcast and she landed her first job in the industry out of it!
