Jeff Has Cool Friends

Folks, I’m so very excited to just get a minute to sit and talk with my Cool Friend Abe Epperson. You might know Abe from his former work at Cracked and his current work on the Small Beans network! He went to school for movies! That’s crazy, because I went to school, and I also like movies! We talk about movies. We talk about a lot of other stuff, too. Like how Abe may or may not have disliked me in the beginning (which, let’s be fair, I can relate to). As we address pretty early on, this is very much a “George hanging out with Elaine” scenario, with two people who never hang out alone ah…hanging out alone. And it’s great!

Honestly, this could’ve been a 12-hour podcast. We didn’t even know how long it went until I noticed the time, because it was so fun and effortless to talk to this fun, funny, brilliant, Cool Friend of mine. So listen up, and head on over to Patreon.com/jeff may to get early access to uncensored episodes, bonus shows, and Patreon-exclusive content we recorded on this episode JUST FOR PATRONS, and then go check out patreon.com/smallbeans for some of the coolest, funniest stuff on the Information Superhighway!

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 are joined by Upper Deck's resident DC Teen Hero expert (he even hosted an SDCC panel about them) T.J. Shevlin to celebrate Dre's birthday with a special stand-alone episode on his favorite character, Tim Drake (Robin III if you're nasty)!

There's a lot to unpack about the Bat Family's middle child, so let's all have an impressively long solo comic, finally get some pants on that kid, and hit people in the head with a metal stick, as we take a look at the oft-ignored, yet incredibly significant, sidekick of the DC Universe.

And, of course, don't forget to follow Dre (@nerdnumbers) Jeff (@heytherejeffro2 or @heytherejeffro) and T.J. (@strsmydestination) on the socials, and have a nerdy day!

My next Cool Friend is actually one of my first friends I ever made in LA! You might recognize Nick Wechsler from roles in iconic shows like Revenge, Roswell, It's Always Sunny, The Boys, and SO much more! You might ALSO recognize him from the recent hit indie sci-fi Vietnam war epic Primitive War, which has been killing it in despite it's limited release! We talk about all that stuff! And dodgeball!

For real though, Nick is incredible, and do yourselves a favor and check out Primitive War (and, obviously, all of his other amazing projects), go follow @I_AM_OFFICIALLY_NICK_WECHSLER on Instagram, and head on over to Patreon.com/jeffmay for early access to uncensored episodes with bonus content, exclusive shows, and more! Plus you can enjoy the Patreon-exclusive material we recorded JUST FOR PATRONS!

Join mega nerds Dre Alvarez and Jeff May as they are joined by WNBYay!'s Logan Trent as they geek out on a different nerdy cultural touchstone every month. Part reminiscence, part historical deep dive. This month, Dre and Jeff finish their season on SPEED with the 70's sci-fi classic Logan's Run! (GET IT???)

There's a lot to unpack about this last bastion of vintage science fiction, so let's fly around in a giant bug zapper, order up some post-murder lovin', and watch an old man do an open-mic plagiarised bit about cats, as we take a look at the weird classic SciFi property Logan's Run.

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 continue their season on SPEED with the legendary Looney Tunes character Speedy Gonzales!

There's a lot to unpack about this controversial animated stereotype, so let's get uniquely heroic, run straight through a cat's entire body, and have a surprisingly iconic catchphrase, as we take a look at the animated mouse that began as a stereotype and ended up a hero.

And, of course, don't forget to follow Dre (@nerdnumbers) and Jeff (@heytherejeffro2 or @heytherejeffro) on the socials, and have a nerdy day!

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 SPEED with the 1993 Sega Genesis/Mega Drive classic SONIC SPINBALL.

There's a lot to unpack about this controversial video game spin-off, so let's get aggressively dark and creepy, make sure we arrive by Christmas, and leave Japan the hell out of this, as we take a look at the first ever Sonic spin-off that had a lot of players scratching their heads and then cursing them off.
