Life is Short with Justin Long

The guys talk about the trips they both recently went on: Justin & Kate to Big Sur for her birthday (in which they had a friendly run in with Bo Burnham and Phoebe Bridgers 👀) and Christian & Maggie to Costa Rica where they were accosted by monkeys, but fell in love with the laid back, phone-free atmosphere. Then we read a letter from Nancy with a glowing endorsement for Christian’s “scratch bar” idea. Finally, Stacy calls in saying she has the same issue as Christian with hands rubbing together.

Finally, Zach from Indiana writes in praising “Going The Distance,” and Christian’s ability to keep Justin on track.

The guys reminisce about their favorite Christmastime memories, and Christian laments how his memories of caroling at the local library just isn’t the same as it used to be. Then, a listener named Noelle tells us how she fell asleep listening to the pod and had a full on dream about us, and she offers a pedicure-related Would You Rather. Finally, a 25-year-old listener named Alba calls in to say she’s able to relate to us despite her younger age, and she says her husband doesn’t find the show as funny as she does (maybe because of all the nerdy thespian humor).

Rob Huebel (Goosebumps) and Justin talk about how they both only read their own parts in Goosebumps (and so it was fun to watch it all put together), How playing jerks on TV leads people to think he’s a jerk in real life, and what it was like to improvise opposite Larry David on “Curb Your Enthusiasm.”
