  1. Jeff Has Cool Friends 110: Jacob Rice ("Hey Man...")

    Jeff Has Cool Friends 110: Jacob Rice ("Hey Man...")

    My latest Cool Friend is also my newest Cool Friend, the hilarious Jacob Rice. I know for a fact that a lot of you know who he is, as my inbox is littered with his reels. He has become one of the premiere pop culture satirists on social media, stretching himself out in unique directions with a unique voice, to the point where he has gone from "viral" to "internet mainstay" in a manner of a few months. We hit it off almost immediately after a post of his, and I figured we might want to just continue our introduction to each other on the pod. His instantly recognizeable introduction of "Hey Man," in his videos has somehow monopolized a common phrase into something that feels uniquely singular. So please enjoy the episode. If you haven't followed Jacob yet, what are you waiting for? He's @Itstheheyman on IG, and there's more. We talk about it. And please head on over to patreon.com/jeffmay to enjoy Patreon-exclusive content we recorded just for Patrons!

    NERD! Episode 44: Bravestarr

    Join mega nerds Dre Alvarez and Jeff May as they geek out on a different nerdy cultural touchstone every month. Part reminiscence, part historical deep dive. This month, Dre and Jeff begin their season on Single-Season TV Shows with the surprisingly progressive late-80's syndicated animated Space-Western, Bravestarr!There's a lot to unpack about this spiritual sequel to He Man, so let's get go mine some Kerium, have some totem super powers, and have the darkest episode of a children's cartoon ever, as we tackle one of the most infamous children's properties of the 1980's that only lasted one season. And, of course, don't forget to follow Dre (@nerdnumbers) Jeff (@heytherejeffro2 or @heytherejeffro) on the socials, and have a nerdy day!

    Jeff Has Cool Friends 109: Christine Fekete

    Christine Fekete is a fascinating study in going with the flow and moving forward. As the map of her life will detail, there is a 0% chance she could've predicted that she would be one of the fastest growing content creators on social media today! I have seen her grow from a few thousand followers to hundreds of thousands almost overnight, taking down a lot of right-wing talking points in that classic "We see what you're doing" style. But, honestly, do you think I would have someone on the show if their big thing was "has a lot of followers?" Heck no. Turns out, Christine's roadmap to end up where she is right now is a fascinating tapestry of ups and downs, a story of perseverence if you will. We talk all about that, including her "Think Happy Stuff" company, relationship with Evangelical Christianity, and so much more. So enjoy this episode, go follow @what.the.fekete on social media, and head on over to Patreon.com/jeffmay to enjoy the exclusive bonus content we recorded JUST FOR PATRONS!

    Jeff Has Cool Friends 108: Paige Harbison

    I'm not sure how to introduce my latest (and newest) Cool Friend, Paige Harbison. She's an accomplished author who got her first novel published at the age of 19, a viral sensation on TikTok and Instagram with her One-Minute Hallmark Movie videos, she hosts the fantastic "Nameless Best Friends" podcast with her mother and brother, she's a painter, she's...well, she's a little bit of everything. Wait, scratch that: She's a LOTTA bit of everything, and she's an incredibly Cool Friend.This quickly became one of those effortless podcasts that took on a life of its own almost immediately. This could have easily become a 3 or 4 hour podcast, and it almost did, but my schedule and bank account couldn't have handled that much editing. Please enjoy this episode, follow Paige on the socials (@Pharbeaux), check out Nameless Best Friends, and go buy her books, including the recent hit The Other Side of Now, which you can get at stores that have books. (They should come up with a better name for that). And please head over to Patreon.com/jeffmay to enjoy (among other things) the exclusive content that we recorded JUST FOR PATRONS!

    NERD! Episode 42: National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (feat. Emy LaCroix Halle)

    Join mega nerds Dre Alvarez and Jeff May as they geek out on a different nerdy cultural touchstone every month. Part reminiscence, part historical deep dive. This month, Dre and Jeff WRAP up their season on Movies Dre Should've Seen by Now with the 1989 Christmas Comedy classic National Lampoon's Christmas Vacvation. And because we theme these episodes to the corresponding holiday, we've added special guest (and Christmas aficionado) Emy LaCroix Halle (Hobby Hopping with Emy) There's a lot to unpack about this hilarous (yet rooted in controversy) Holiday staple, so let's get 25,000 lights up on the house, jolin the Jelly of the Month Club, and say Grace (even though she died 30 years ago) as we tackle one of the (debatably) greatest Christmas movies of all-time, that for some reason Dre Hadn't Seen Until Now. And, of course, don't forget to follow Emy (@theemylacroix, @hobbyhoppingwithemy) Dre (@nerdnumbers) Jeff (@heytherejeffro2 or @heytherejeffro) on the socials, and have a nerdy day!

    Jeff Has Cool Friends 107: T.J. Chambers

    T.J. Chambers, my latest Cool Friend, is one of my favorite people on the planet. One of those friends you can go without seeing for a bit and then immediately just pick right back up where you left off. Well, that's how this episode starts, and it keeps flowing from there. T.J. and I last spoke on a podcast in 2019, and since then he's had a show on SyFy, hosted many panels at cons, and become a writer/producer for the Mythical team, doing a ton of work with Rhett and Link over on the regular network, as well as the fascinating Wonderhole project! Also one time we got our butts handed to us at a Marvel trivia event with another incredible Cool Friend, that it has become a legendary ass-whooping.Look, we talk about a lot on this episode. So much, in fact, that before we knew it, he had to leave the Mythical offices so the crew could lock up. This means, while we coasted through the regular episode, we were unable to record the bonus content in time, and have decided to record it again later this week in order to post it on the Patreon for you all! Anyways, please enjoy, make sure to follow @tjchambersla on the Instant Gram, watch Rhett and Link's Wonderhole, and head on over to patreon.com/jeffmay for early access to uncensored episodes, exclusive shows, custom tiers and even more from Jeff and T.J. down the line!
