The guys discuss Justin’s recent appearance at Kevin Smith’s Smodcastle theater for a Tusk screening, and all the fun little gifts and letters he received from fans. Then they debate what the loser of their football season betting should have to do (unfortunately the ring of hair is out). Then we read a letter from an Ohio school teacher named Franny asking the guys if they’ve ever decided to pivot and how they got the courage to take that leap. Finally, a voicemail from a stoned listener named Casey offers up a barrage of quick fire WYRs, including whether they’d rather be bald on their head or bald on their face.

Life Is Short(er): Smodcastle, Betting Bros, and Pivoting 

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! Listen ad-free on Wondery+ or on Amazon Music with a Prime membership or Amazon Music Unlimited subscription.
