0:13.0	A couple days ago, I was barbecuing. I was having a barbecue.
0:17.1	My girlfriend was head some family over and we were having a little
0:22.2	party, a little daytime Saturday party, and I got a call from a number that I thought was a
0:27.8	a telemarketer. I was going to pick it up and then hang up and then block the number.
0:32.3	That's that's what I do. That's how I do it. It was a number that I didn't recognize from Miami.
0:38.0	They said, hi, this is Lil Nas X's manager. They said, okay, and I could tell she was sincere right
0:45.7	away. She had got my number somehow. She explained. Apparently Lil Nas X is a huge album in
0:52.6	the Chipmunks fan and he had tweeted out earlier that day, something to this effect. I'm paraphrasing Lil's
1:00.5	tweet. So if my reps don't get me an album in the Chipmunks theme party for my birthday, I'm going
1:07.4	to be really sad. Something like that doesn't sound like a very Lil tweet. That sounds like a

1:20.4	They didn't want him. They wanted. He a grown man. He's 23. Okay. So we did the math and found
1:25.8	that he was born in, he was eight when the movie came out. Isn't that crazy? Eight when that first
1:31.4	movie came out. So I doodifully responded. I recorded myself, but then I thought, because she's
1:38.9	suggested maybe I record birth, like happy birthday, a sing happy birthday, but I said that I don't
1:43.4	have the equipment, you know, the computer to do it. It's all digitized as we talked about, probably
1:47.0	too much on the show. And so I found an app, like a chipmunk app that you can do it yourself. So I
1:51.3	sang him happy birthday, happy birthday to happy birthday, dear Lil Nas X. Well, you don't not fulfill
1:59.5	Lil Nas X requests. That's what I thought. Yeah, you did the right thing. I thought so. And it was just
2:04.2	a little favor. Anyway, here's our little show. Life could be a dream. Life could be a dream.
2:17.0	You're listening to Life for short. I am your medium size host, Justin Long.
