My latest Cool Friend, the wonderful and talented Danielle Soto, isn’t just a great and hilarious person, but she was one of my first friends in comedy! Seriously, I met her like, 2 weeks into my career. Crazy! Well wouldn’t you know it, we both ended up moving from Massachusetts to California, and our paths have been intertwined ever since! She has an incredible podcast called Dr. Cheesecake, which has one of the coolest premises in history! She hosts Golden Girls Trivia! She gives fancy tours at Universal! I gave her a porn DVD! She’s one of only a handful of people who have seen me drunk! The photo for this episode is from that night! We’ve spent Christmas together! I dated her roommate! We’ve both met Cheers actors on the Universal lot! Look, there’s a lot going on here, so please just enjoy the heck out of this episode, and then go follow @daniellesoto617 on the socials and give Dr. Cheesecake a listen!

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 Supernatural Holiday Stuff with General Mills' Monster Cereals. There's a lot to unpack about these culturally significant boxes of corn candy, so let's go Count some Chocula, balance some breakfasts, and only work for 2 months a year, as we dive into these sugary boxes of supernatural greatness . And don't forget to follow Dre (@nerdnumbers) and Jeff (@heytherejeffro) on the socials, and have a nerdy day!
I’m so incredibly excited to sit down and talk with my latest Cool Friend, the returning Tom Reimann! Tom and I are super buds and co-hosts on the incredible Tom and Jeff Watch Batman podcast, but he’s been gone for a few episodes because HE AND HIS WIFE HAD A BABY! Well my beautiful babies (get it?), he’s back, and he’s got a brand new show coming your way in the incredible and insane Badical, an oral history of the most intense 90’s fighting game that never existed! He also hosts a ton of other shows and writes for Some More News and like, a million other things. We talk about all that, plus I’m pretty sure we mix up Staind and Disturbed a whole bunch. Pretty standard fare, tbh.
So enjoy the absolute hell out of this one, and don’t forget to follow Tom on the socials (@startthemachine on Twitter @thomasreimann on IG) and, for god’s sake, check out Badical AND all the amazing stuff the Gamefully Unemployed network has to offer, and while you’re at it, hit up Patreon.com/jeffmay for exclusive content we created JUST FOR PATRONS!
What an incredible pair of Cool Friends I found myself talking to in this episode. Two former guests, the incredible David Igo and Erik Barnes, have teamed up to drive to my house and talk to me about the Monstors campaign that’s now up on Kickstarter. We also talk about a whole bunch of other amazing things, like HOW I INTRODUCED THEM and, honestly, this is such a fun and funny episode, as two of my best buds legit just hung out with me and talked about toys and other nerdy things and maybe low-key bully me into giving them some money out of my pocket.
So enjoy the absolute hell out of this one, and don’t forget to follow Dave and Erik on the socials (@davidigostuff and @erikwbarnes, you can figure out which is which) and, for god’s sake, check out the Monstors Kickstarter campaign just to check out how cool these things are, and while you're at it, hit up Patreon.com/jeffmay to enjoy Patreon-exclusive bonus content we recorded JUST FOR PATRONS!

There's a lot to unpack about this unhinged family film, so let's go Moto Surfing, murder a surprisingly large amount of people, and use a Sega Game Gear to control the fate of the universe, as Nic answers our incessant questions and we all dive into this wonderful, unfortunate martial arts property.

My latest Cool Friend, the amazing and hilarious Chris Calogero, is one of the most criminally underappreciated comics and creators out there. I’ve known him for quite some time, and have been waiting for this specific moment to have him on the show, as he’s just released his amazing comedy special/album “Husky Boy,” which you can listen to RIGHT NOW! Of course we talk about the album, because it’s great. But we also talk about cool stuff like his hilarious sketches on social media, his partnership with Homage, and growing up as a couple of husky boys (see what I did there?)
So enjoy the hell out of this one, go follow @realchriscal on the socials, LISTEN TO HUSKY BOY, and head on over to Patreon.com/jeffmay to enjoy the STACKED Patreon-exclusive content that we recorded JUST FOR PATRONS!
My next Cool Friend, the amazing Alex Schmidt, is an incredibly accomplished and kind person. Like, to the point where it makes me mad. But not really. Maybe. Anyways, you might know Alex from his incredible podcast, Secretly Incredibly Fascinating, or from his multiple victories on the television show Jeopardy! Or you might not know him at all. Who am I to know what you know? Y'know?
But hey, Alex is great. You're great. This episode is really fascinating and uplifting, and learning more about Alex is pretty neat! So listen up, go follow Alex on Instagram (@alexschmidtstagram) and please hit up Patreon.com/jeffmay to enjoy the exclusive material that we recorded JUST FOR PATRONS, including the elusive SwearCut!
My latest Cool Friend, the incredible and vibrant Kirk Thatcher, has one of the most insane and varied collection of credits I can imagine. Special effects on Return of the Jedi? Yes. Director of Muppets Haunted Mansion? Absolutely. Famous Star Trek pest? Naturally. Badass Monster Hunter in the MCU? You bet! But honestly, this barely scratches the surface. I seriously don't have enough space or time to show you all the cool stuff Kirk has done, so just listen to the episode. Seriously. Holy smokes.

There's a lot to unpack about this weird American Gladiators Rip-Off, so let's embark on our quest for the Dragon Star, kick a bunch of ninjas into a pit, and try to find out who exactly the WMAC traitor is, as we dive into this incredibly unfortunate martial arts property.
