Word With Friend

In the spirit of this episode's word, our wonderful guest, Jon Zucker and Julian cover many topics in the first half. It is also Jon's second time guesting which means we get to welcome him to the Second-Timer Club and it is ALSO Word With Friend's 3rd birthday!!!

Celebrate with us by grabbing yourself some loose sushi (Producer Samee Note: there's chewing in this episode) and learn FACTOTUM with Julian and Jon.

We're back from being gone from being back! Our sadboy guest this week is two-timer, Edgar Momplaisir! Julian and Edgar dissect a DJ Khaled track, Julian spoils Alpha Dog, and Edgar teaches US about Baal.

This is NOT an episode of Word With Friend! This is an episode of THE EYEROLL, a new podcast from Slumberfest (Chris Milliken and Julian Stern) where we talk about what had us rolling our eyes this week.

We actually recorded it for Monday May 1st, but all of it is still relevant; we just don't talk about AHCA. We DO talk about Mayor Eric and his maybe corruption, SHARKS, and the 25 year old nincompoop behind Fyre Fest.

This week's tear-free episode (as opposed to last week's LOL) is with writer Chelsey Lora (Blindspot, Greenleaf). Chelsey is a HUGE Slumberfest fan AND Julian's go-to for 13 Reasons Why discussion (she hasn't watched it). The word this week is LACRIMAL and the theme song is VERY related. Chelsey also reveals her very very very interesting former job so definitely TUNE IN for that and so so much more.

Ronnie Adrian is a great guy, very funny, and loves loves LOVES to make Julian uncomfortable. Listen in as this improviser (UCB's The Dragons and UCB-affiliated White Women) uses all of his tools of comedy to hone right in on every possible move that could and would throw Julian off his game. Listen to the episode that had people saying, "Does he hate you?" Julian and Ronnie also talk about happiness, grandmothers, and peregrinate.

Julian's fantastic GUEST this week is actor, writer Liz (in life) Guest (Guest Appearances)! Julian and Liz hop right in to a name conversation, Mickey Rooney's wives, and Patrick McDonald. They also talked about Liz's web series, Guest Appearances which is awesome and you should check it out.

After the break, Julian and Liz get gabbing about PRURIENT which maybe we all are when you think about it. The root of this one is really interesting, so definitely tune in (clickbait).

Tweet @wordfriendpod to discuss Julian's new theme song selection process!

FRAMILY! We've reached one hundred episodes and ring in the achievement with ol' episode 2 himself, comedian/writer Mike Glazer (Inside Hacks [coming soon]). Mike and Julian talk being nice, easily accessible to strangers, and Julian tells more about his day with Snoop Dogg.

The 100th word is PROFUSION which somehow led into the diving into a classic joke, Julian and Mike coming up with "John Whoops", and for the first time in 100 episodes, the guest gets upset about the word. TUNE IN TO FIND OUT WHY (clickbait).

Thank you to all of our loyal framily members, our new ones, and our soon to be LISTENS.

Julian invited returning champion Alexi Novak (movement star) for this week's 99th episode! Julian reveals what he ate for breakfast, Alexis teaches us about CHAKRAS and fascia, ANNND we find out the shocking tv channel that she grew up watching (CLICK BAIT).

After the jump, Julian defines ROBUST and we find out what kind of trunks Alexis prefers. Tweet US with YOUR favorite things to describe as ROBUST.

Julian PHONED IT IN with guest Maxwell Augustus Evans this week. For reals. Max and Julian discuss what one could do to save the world, the meaning of Max's full name, and how to deal with failure.

And then SOLECISM is defined and dissected and oh boy is it a doozy. Julian also reveals a favorite rhetorical device. TUNE IN TO FIND OUT.

Also never drink and drive.

Julian's guest this week is incredible Lucia Brizzi (BREET - ZEE)[actor, comedian, writer, idiot] {What The Hippo, The Tony Robbins Netflix Special Special}. They discuss mega persons David Blaine, DJ Khaled, Willow Smith, TONY ROBBINS, and fuckboys.

They get into RUTHLESS which has such a cool and surprising root. We also get an earful of why Lucia thinks she had a ruthless streak.
