The guys catch up after some time apart and both have Aaron Rodgers and the show “Hard Knocks” on their minds (they don’t both have to have the same Shortlist!), and Justin recounts his very Dawson’s Creek experience visiting Kate’s hometown and meeting her high school boyfriend. A listener named Brandon writes in the share his excitement about the Jets season, asks about the guys’ experience going to sports games when they were younger and offers up a sports-themed WYR. Finally, we hear a voicemail from Bo about how he recently lost a friend and that it got him thinking about how life really is short.&nbsp; Donate to help Maui fire victims: <a href="https://globalempowermentmission.kindful.com/campaigns/1086964" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://globalempowermentmission.kindful.com/campaigns/1086964</a>See Privacy Policy at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy</a> and California Privacy Notice at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info</a>.

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 to Life is Short on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.
