Life is Short with Justin Long

Michael Ian Black 🫡

Michael Ian Black (The State, Wet Hot American Summer) and Justin talk about their shared love of Savannah, Georgia, how he quit school to tour the world as a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle (Raphael, to be exact), how his sketch comedy group The State came to be, and that time he took part in a high stakes poker game with someone else’s money.

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.
