I honestly find Justin Long INCREDIBLY attractive. I could listen to him for hours and hours! So great to see him chatting like this.
Justin is one of those rare, just "way too good for this World" human beings. He is so lovely.
Very, very, very, rare.
I'm too good for this World.
Aren't you?
Couldn't say it any better myself, I love Justin Long 💯🙏
*Eww, that's a creepy thing to say. Are you planning on killing him?*
@@hulkhatepunybanner The only thing on here that’s creepy is your weird response.
Defining as “Polyamorous” the love of Justin’s dad to God and his family is the funniest and true thing I’ve heard in a long time!! Just imagining a show with Mayim and Justin in it!!! Thanks Dr. MB, JC & Justin for a great episode!
So F'd up what those jerks did to Justin. He seems like a really great guy. Breaks my heart.
What a sweat heart you can tell Justin is such a sweet and cool guy. Breaks my heart that they drugged him, but glad he got out safe.
Mayim fangirling Justin Long impersonating Matthew McConaughey is EVERYTHING 🤣🤣🤣🤣! She is BLUSHING like a schoolgirl and I love it!
I feel like there's a whole other story here about the pitfalls of being a nice/naive/people pleasing person at times in your life. I'm going to check out the other podcast where he details the infamous night.
What a couple of sweethearts. Gotta watch both of their films.
I cannot believe how good his impression of Matthew is. Hilarious. Love you Mayim. You’re a gem
This is one of my favorite episodes so far. You two are amazing together and sounded like you could have talked for hours. What a crazy and terrifying experience to have gone through. Why would anyone drug and kidnap a grown man that is so sweet? God bless him.
ee w Renee we eeeewgewee we even we weeeeeeeee2eee
Mayim you are such a wonderful interviewer! Your repartee with Justin was so spontaneous and on spot, it was a joy to listen and see you two interact. Thank you.
Justin has been one of my favorite actors for decades. I didn't know his name until recently but I always stopped and watched him whenever he was on TV. It was nice to hear his interview here and find out he's as nice/intelligent /interesting as he seems. I have always felt the same about Mayim. I wish you both continued happiness and success.
It’s too bad, he really wasn’t ready to talk about it; and I appreciate how MB got that.
On an aside: MB and JC it would be awesome if you could do a show that speaks to the toll avoidance has on our system.
Don’t get me wrong I see so much of myself in how Justin isn’t talking about (X) something and controlling the environment with complete ridiculous silliness. Ive also poured my heart and pain out to people of no consequence and be incapable of speaking my truth to people who can actually help. Addiction, mental health, trauma and Internal Family Systems .
My jaw hit the floor while reading your post. I have a feeling we're a tribe 👊
Always loved him, it's criminal that he hasn't play keanu reeves younger brother in a film.
I've been subscribed to this channel for years and this is my first time commenting...
I've had a crush on Justin Long for 18 years (THAT statement just made me realise that I'm old 😳) and I'm so glad I watched this. I had no idea about the trauma he went through. That's so scary. I'm glad he got out of that situation. ❤
I enjoy how animated he is when he speaks. He widens his eyes. He uses his hands. It's awesome and hilarious because I'm the same way. 😂
Mayim is brilliant. And BEAUTIFUL. 😊 I'm excited to see the next episode! 🙋🏻♀️
Exactly! I loved Justin ever since he was Warren on "Ed".
Glad to see Mayim at Jonathan’s “secret nest” while at Nutrafol commercial and seeing that the clock is still stopped at the same hour than was one year ago: ten to ten! Such a comforting feeling of easy daily life! And so sorry for his scary and harrowing experience while being kidnapped, drugged and blackmailed. Such brave guy jumping out the car! Said that, how I love Justin’s impressions of fellow actors! Cracking me up!
So much fun to get to know Justin Long. Love your interaction with him. He is a genuine mensch of a human. Thank you. I’m looking for his podcast now. Life Is Short!
I have Complex PTSD from Hospital Trauma from 24 yrs with my medically challenged child. Also DX Complex Grief from child loss. My son had Spina Bifida. EMDR helps a lot. As well as “tapping”. Some people need meds. It’s a life long journey.
Mayim is beautiful without makeup. She is simply beautiful.
I appreciate women who don't need to emphasize /over value their appearance.
@@adifferentlight5530 yea its weird showing one's face is becoming a rarity. Shows a real disdain for the feminine..
This is such a great episode as always Mayim & Jonathan!! Love you two together & can't wait for next week's episode!!
It's like checking in with friends every week for me now, this podcast! Thanks guys!
Mayim, you have the best guests! Thank you for today's interview. They're always a surprise and always so interesting! I love Justin Long's acting. Now I can't wait to watch the movie he wrote and directed with his brother and check out his podcast.
Love Justin Long ! So sorry he dealt with that . You can just feel he’s a good person. Big fan of you as well Mayim !! Huge! Nothing but good graces all the way around 🌹😃
I was introduced to Justin in Jeepers Creepers. Fell in love immediately.
Lady of the manor was great. I loved it.
Justin’s story about being kidnapped, essentially, and feeling pressured to smoke with these locals, but ending up being drugged reminds me of the story Party of Five star Jeremy London told. But, sadly, nobody believed him and it destroyed his career. As someone who has also been drugged - someone put rohypnol, I believe, in my drink and I was lucky to make it home safe in a cab. But I really don’t remember anything about that night and apparently called a bunch of dudes in my contacts list and left them all very suggestive messages. I got weird replies the next day and had no idea why. I even denied doing it because I didn’t have any recollection of any of it, then remembered it all 3 months later. Very weird. Anyway I felt for Jeremy London at the time.
It just goes to show that reputation really matters in these kinds of things, as Justin’s reputation really made it possible for people to believe him. But I also believe that these things are more common now, sadly, so we don’t have any reason to believe it’s not true, unlike when it happened to Jeremy London. Who finally got vindicated years after the incident when one of the kidnappers confessed. But his career is totally destroyed anyway.
I’m glad Justin wasn’t more hurt. It really destroys your trust in humanity to be drugged like that, though. That was the last time I went out to a bar with friends I didn’t completely trust. And really marred the end of my youth.
Yes Jeremy London is a sad case.
Hope you’re ok that must have been traumatic 😢
Thank you so much Mayim for another excellent episode. Justin Long was an excellent guest. This podcast is absolutely amazing!
Ha! I loved this. I met Justin several years ago because I was in a play with his brother Damien in Ridgefield, CT, and he came to see it. Lovely interview!
Ayyyyyyeee I love waking up to a new episode! Enjoying my morning cuppa, feeding the chickens, and listening to Dr. B, Jonathan, & Justin. 🥰 Sending Love & Light from Mississippi. Y'all stay safe and keep taking care of each other! ✌🏼💚
[Add: I adore how even the sponsors of Breakdown are wholesome and health-centered. Such good stuff.]
Completely unrelated side note, but Justin could easily play young Keanu in a biopic, and I'd watch that. 😁
Do de
He was so apologetic, and seems to blame himself a lot. Thank you for this conversation.
He is not aging at all. When I saw him for the first time in a movie, it was a horror movie : Cheepers Creepers.. I had no idea, who he was. Thanks for the great conversation ! 😊
Yeah jeepers creepers was the first film I saw him in too
I was drugged by something that others have now told me was most likely PCP as well- I put myself in a very stupid position years ago as a teenager when friends of mine and I went to a drug dealers house (first red flag) to buy weed from this grown man I've never met (second red flag) and I alone smoked a "test bowl" out of his gravity bong (third red flag, should've been the final strike) and I completely lost my memory of the first 30 minutes in that apartment. From there, my friends and I went walking and little by little we all split up and went our separate ways- except one of my friends who thankfully recognized I wasn't in the correct state of mind to be left alone... we decided to walk to her house and wait a few hours to call my dad to come pick me up... I only remember one thing from the rest of that entire situation and that's being in a church parking lot puking my guts out and being so amazed by how bright green my puke looked... and as I'm staring down in amazement at my own bodily function, these very kind church goers asked if I was okay and I just remember being so embarrassed and feeling like God/the universe itself was looking down at me with disdain...
Long story long, I didn't smoke weed again for 4 years until it became legal in my state and I could buy it from a store, and I still don't trust it coming from anyone I don't know personally VERY well.
I'm glad Justin was (mostly) okay and got out of that situation- definitely not a feeling/mindset I would wish on my worst enemy.
Great interview. Love you both !
I loved "Lady of the Manor"! Thank you Justin 🥰
I can relate to people telling you that your name is spelled “wrong”. My stepmother, to this day, tells me I spell my nickname, “Lani” wrong, that it should be “Loni”. She went as far as to knit a Christmas tree ornament with the word “Loni” on it. It’s still my favorite, always gives me a laugh. My name is Leilani, “lei”-garland or flower, “lani”-heaven. Thanks for sharing your talks
Step parents are always wrong
"People tell me my name is spelled wrong all the time." I feel you girl! I feel you!
I just adore this podcast. Thank you.
What a great interview, so glad I clicked.
That's really sad what happened to him. To be in a situation where your around strangers and to be in fear for your life would be absolutely terrifying. For anyone.
Such an interesting interview! Can we get another vid with Justin! Also I wanted to say so very sorry about the incident that you went through you poor thing. Xxoo
One of my celebrity crushes, funny & cute. How did I not know he had a podcast? Will check it out.
I love his voice; it's deep.
Oh my God, I just watched the movie that you directed, Mayim!!!! You did an amazing job! What a wonderful movie. I wish I would’ve purchased it instead or renting! Well done!
Such a great interview. I love Justin Long. I will always remember him for playing Derry in Jeepers Creepers. He is such a sweetheart.
I enjoy hearing him talk
I hadn’t heard of Justin’s experience being drugged - that’s just crazy! 😮 😮 😮 So glad he got through that OK. Yet another great interview on the books! P.S. I’m glad I’m not the only one with stupid-strict parents who had different standards for what was OK at certain ages & why there was a difference in permissions for males & females. 🤣
Two of my favorite celebrities! Yay. Also, may I suggest Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Seth Green for a future episodes. 🤞🙏
new here... I love that you are just being you Mayim, I love the clean face!!!
Great interview
Justin Long is an amazing yet very underrated actor who puts his heart and soul into his work. You know Universal should've picked him as Nick Morton instead of Tom Cruise for The Mummy and I say that because Justin Long doesn't have any baggage like Tom Cruise does and I believe that if they had gone for Justin long then The Mummy would've done ok.
Justin's comedy is unique! Appreciate this guest mayim and Jonathan.
Lady of the manor was a cute story we enjoyed watching it!! Good job 👏🏼
Love justin ! This was great. ❤
I had no idea he does impressions. His Matthew McConaughey was hilarious and so good
Love Justin Long so muchhhhh!!!!!
Absolutely love the Sam Rockwell impression. I discovered and fell in love with both Sam and Justin in Galaxy Quest. Highly underrated flick
Omg I forgot they were in that together ❤️
LOVE that movie so much
That was a fun one! Such a sweetheart.
I love his voice !!
I prefer Mayim on Jeopardy. THE TRUTH IS Mayim is as beautiful and as lovely as could be. 🥰💖
💯% FACTS.
Great episode! Just gonna put this out there, I would love, love, love to see you featured on Finding your Roots and Hosting SNL!
Some of my favorite things Justin did were: as the head nerd in “Galaxy Quest” and as a “Mac” on the Apple computer commercials.
I've always loved him ❤️
In 2013, I was alone in an elevator with Justin at a club in New York (The Box). In a very drunken state, all I could remember was his recent Apple commercials, so with slurred speech i said, "Heeeeey, you're the Apple guy." Justin smiled and replied, "Yeaaaaaaaah." It was a sweet moment...he came across as a darling buttercup.
Wow, Justin is high energy.
Going the Distance
Love that movie with Justin Long
Omg Mayim, I love Paula Abdul and was also in love with Rush Rush 😂 great song and video 💜💜
Loved him since Galaxy Quest! ❤
Hey Dr Bialik. I didn't know Justin Long was kidnapped. That was awful! If I remember correctly he voices Humphrey in Alpha and Omega. As I always say you're a great helper! You're one of my favorite actresses ever!
love Justin
ITS ALWAYS GOOD TO SEE MISTER TUSKKK!!!
I am your dedicated middle aged fan, Mayim. And, in full disclosure, I feel like I need to confess that Justin Long is Adam Driver in my brain. Thank you for this chance to get to know Justin!
Also, would you consider asking Paula Abdul to your podcast?
Same😂😂😂😂😂
@@b.garland1826oooh good idea
There's never been a second that I didn't love Jonathan Long. Thrilled he was on your podcast. Since the beginning of your podcast, I really hoped you would aspire to have him on. He really does have a good soul. You can just tell.
Hard to buy that statement when you don’t actually know his name 😂
@@calisongbird Right? I was half asleep when I wrote that. That is really funny. I didn't catch it. Hahaha. Oh well. Ce la vie.
Loved him in Jeepers Creepers , He was the best.
I'm from CT and wanted to clarify being from the center of CT all sports teams are either NY or Boston from mid state vs. NY or NJ from Fairfield CT
I may be a bit bias since Mayim looks like just about every one of my ex-gf. I think she is beautiful every time I see her. Also a beautiful brain that makes her even more atractive. To be fare, I've never seen her in person. I'd bet I would feel the same as I do now.
I knew Justin would not have been happy with that Matthew McConaughey impression he did on SNL. I remember thinking he will not be asked back to SNL after that performance. Just makes it more impressive people that can consistently do great impressions no matter the pressure
Jonathan is awesome! Let him speak to all the people! 😅❤️
Justin just personifies “cool” 😊to me.
Justin Long is a talented actor I hope is career keeps on rocking....
Esse é o protagonista de "Olhos Famintos"? Que legal ver ele mais velhor falando com a Mayim
I’m big fans of you all!!
😄😍❤️
I think the last time I saw Justin online it was him playing pictionary with other celebrities raising money for red nose day. It's nice to see what's he's up to these days and to know he has his own podcast
Justin Long? YES PLEASE
I saw the movie. Pretty good.
Fun ❤️
Justin is a really nice guy. Mayim the 'what were your parents right about' questions were not straightforward questions as you obviously projected and made Justin feel bad about. It's a very vague question and you would have to search your mind for the entire history of your life to answer that questions which takes a very long and in depth analysis. Just saying :)
There is a great movie "BEST MAN Down" hes in that movie he is the star in that movie his Character in that movie is so diverse... I don't want to say to much it's a great movie.
I can’t find the link for the vitamins
I've had a crush on Justin since the Ed days and I always felt like such a cougar! He's only a year younger than me! I just Googled his age. Haha
Justin Long IS my trauma. He knows what he did with Tusk
😵💫😖 I have nightmares about that movie sometimes
Dax would be a great guest too for this podcast!
I did 2 years of EMDR and then 36 sessions of transcranial magnetic stimulation. This seems like it just happened to be the perfect recipe to me, but it felt like I was just throwing shit at the wall and hoping something stuck as I was going through it.
I had severe complex PTSD from an extremely abusive childhood. I wasn't exactly a child called It, but I was pretty close to it.
Grateful you found a combination that worked for you!
@@karengerber8390 Not as grateful as I am, but thanks! I was really trapped inside of myself. A lot of the healing process was embarrassing, because I had to deal with some arrested development, but I'm so glad I'm just about on the other side.
@JaimeFratilla,
Thank you for your reply!
Sounds like rough going for you, for a while. Glad you are doing better!
Oh Jaime, I’m so sorry to hear about your childhood. But so so so glad you found success with EMDR and TMS. 🙏🏼🙏🏼 Thank you for sharing.
I love his performance in accepted along side Jonah hill and Blake lively
❤❤❤
So when is Mayim gonna do reactions to thise movies she's never seen? I'd watch that too!
Mayim reacts? Subscribed!
❤️
I have a question for Justin Long. send Ezra Miller is done as the Flash. I think Justin long would be a perfect candidate for the flash I think you should try to go for a DC movie he's funny I've seen his past films he has been in action movies and I'm sure he could do great. DC fans want to see Justin long as the Flash
The Keanu impersonation 😂🤣😂
Mayim is wonderful! I wanted to be her friend
We need Keanu on this podcast.
Justin and Sam are hilarious on F is for Family
