I've known Pete Dinklage for a long time. Pete is married to a college friend of mine.

Many people know him on Game of Thrones, but this was pre-game of Thrones.

I ran into Pete at an ungodly hour at JFK at the airport.

So I hadn't slept. I was like cracked out looking and we were both really hungry.

And we got egg mcmuffins at McDonald's. This is not an ad.

We're just kind of sitting in silence eating these egg mcmuffins.

This guy came up to us and he goes, hey guys, sorry to interrupt. Just want to say thanks for the laughs.

And he walked away. Pete and I just kept beating for a few seconds and then I forget which one of us said it.

But we thought, well, wouldn't it be funny if the guy didn't recognize us as actors?

And he just had been on the phone with his like former frack. I'd bite in. He was like, dude, you'll never believe what I'm looking at.

This like scrawny pasty nerd and this like little person are shoving egg mcmuffins to their mouths in silence.

But see, I think a guy who just found that funny wouldn't be polite enough to come up and say something to you.

That's true. That's true.

You're not telling the whole story and you were like baby birding egg mcmuffins into Pete's mouth.

Oh, I forgot to mention I was, oh yeah, it's fitting a little pieces of egg mcmuffin into Pete's English as well.

I left that part out.

Life could be a dream. Life could be a dream.

Ooh, dude, dude, dude, dude, shippu.

You're listening to Life is Short. No pun intended. I'm your host, Justin Long.

Life could be a dream sweetheart.

Dude, dude, dude, dude, shippu.
