Life is Short with Justin Long

Justin and Christian discuss how rising inflation (or possibly greed?) is affecting the prices of kids’ lemonade stand offerings, and Justin talks about the potential awkwardness of having Kate be a guest on The Drew Barrymore show (both women were class acts, as usual). Then the guys answer a letter from a listener named Wendy (not their mum) and they discuss whether they’d rather wear one color for the rest of their lives or live in a beige house. Finally, a listener named Megan calls in asking for advice on how to stay close to her three boys as they enter their teen years. Listen ad free with Wondery+.

Justin and Christian cover a wide range of topics today, including King Charles’s very low comedy bar, how a captive male eagle tried to hatch a rock, how hummingbirds are dirty birds, and that chimps and gorillas can communicate with each other. Then, Lee writes in asking what it was like to work on “Tusk,” and her WYR makes them realize that they both get more mouth pleasure from solids than liquids. Finally, Katie calls in (for the 4th time) to ask if there was ever any jealousy in the family when Justin started having success as an actor.Listen ad free with Wondery+.

The guys discuss the conflicting feelings of excitement and anxiety that Christian feels now that his beloved (and historically losing) New York Jets now have Aaron Rodgers as their quarterback — will they actually be good this year? Justin finally gets to one of his science facts, and of course it has something to do with turtles. Then they read a letter from a Chilean-born Norwegian who writes in with a very controversial Would You Rather. Finally, they hear a voicemail from Ernesto who confirms that sports fans actually do listen to Life Is Short.Listen ad free with Wondery+.

They discuss how fun it was to finally introduce their little nephews to Muppets Take Manhattan and see it through their eyes. Then a hardcore Canadian Shortie admits she didn’t finish Breaking Bad and it blows Christian’s mind. But she makes up for it with a WYR about fighting 100 duck-sized horses or 1 horse-sized duck.
