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!

It’s a YES from me

Always liked Justin Long as an Actor but now I’ve fallen in love with him as a person.
The song, the ads, the interviews, the intro chats, round up chats. UGH GIMMIE IT ALL!!

Colletteemma ,

Lacking quality

Listens to a couple of interviews and the Paris Hilton and Eric Andrea one shows he’s really lacking in interview skills and it’s just not there it’s like an amateur podcast not really professional at all

Jerry O’Connell

Love this podcast, from you both chatting before and giving the round up afterwards. The would you rather rounds. The interviews. But most of all...more catch ups with Jerry please! Love the dynamic between you all.
