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.

BULWARK (not bull work) is this week's word - which is related to boulevard and a ghost.

TUNE. TOON.

Hey everyone!

A bit of a change of pace this week for a variety of reasons!

A) Julian's writing the description instead of Samee so it's gonna be a change in tone.

B) Julian did the recording so it won't sound as good.

C) Julian's at home in Maryland, so he sat down with one of his childhood friends who has nothing to do with the entertainment industry, which is more interesting because get over yourselves!


We talk about how we became best friends (we had all 7 classes AND homeroom together in 6th grade), we talk about the time Damon and our other friends tried to get me into role-playing tabletop games, we talk about the Chinese restaurant in Rockville, his family went to, we talk about Mike's Hard Tea, we talk about Jackie Chan Adventures, and we talk A LOT about Pokemon. 

Join us, and happy holidays!

-Julian

Check this out, our first three-guest episode of Word With Friend! Julian "What's A Gooseneck?" Stern is joined by Nikki "How Long Is A Sex Movie" Jagerman (Tall Tales Podcast), Chris "Who Pooped?" Milliken (Cooking With Chris), and Stu "I'm here too early!" Magruder (Episode 9 - Sandwich with Stu) gather round the rectagular glass table to talk about FODDER.

This episode is chock-full of divorce sharing, a voicemail for Toby, wrong number text relationships, eggnog, and a discussion on the pronounciation of milk (melk?).

We also have a never-before-done segment of Choose Your Own Conversation!
