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.

  • Miss this podcast so much 😢

    This podcast was magic - so much laughter, positivity, and humanity.

    It felt like we’d been welcomed to the family and so many of us Shorties came to know and love Justin and Christian so much. They kept me company and helped me get through the pandemic and some other really dark times.

    Having the podcast end without any announcement or final goodbyes felt like being ghosted by a best friend. I really wish Wondery would have given us closure at the very least.
