Life Is Short(er): King Charles, Single ...

Wondery
About this episode

Justin and Christian cover a wide range of topics today, including King Charles’s very low comedy bar, how a captive male eagle tried to hatch a rock, how hummingbirds are dirty birds, and that chimps and gorillas can communicate with each other. Then, Lee writes in asking what it was like to work on “Tusk,” and her WYR makes them realize that they both get more mouth pleasure from solids than liquids. Finally, Katie calls in (for the 4th time) to ask if there was ever any jealousy in the family when Justin started having success as an actor.
