Jeff Has Cool Friends 124: Emy Lacroix Halle (opens the original)
Read excerpt
My latest Cool Friend is the amazing Emy Lacroix Halle, and we have maybe the most unique friendship of the show so far. You see, while Emy and I are friends, (we message back and forth, have coffee/tea occasionally, and generally are good buds), she's also one of my former students! And while she's not my first guest that was one of my students (see episode 8 ), she's definitely my closest. We've been friends since for quite some time, with our previous relationship not really playing a factor
NERD! Episode 51: GI Joe Comics (1982-Present) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
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.

Lauren is a fascinating, hilarious, and talented woman that I'm proud to call my friend. Lauren has led a fascinating life, taking a bunch of twists and turns along the way, and she answers a lot of my qu
Jeff Has Cool Friends 122: Kathy Meskus (MY MOM!) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This was the scariest and, ultimately, my favorite episode I think I've ever done? Not much to write here; I interviewed my mom. Enjoy, and head to patreon.com/jeffmay for even more (and uncensored) MOM-tent!
Jeff Has Cool Friends 121: Mike Drucker (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I see, in my latest Cool Friend, the inimitable Mike Drucker, a kindred spirit. A nerdy iron forged strong in the fires of adolescent derision and sadness. Mike is the kind of guy who has created so much of my favorite art, such as his brilliant tweets over the years, his wonderful memoir "Good Game, No Rematch: A Life Made of Video Games," countless late night jokes that have garnered him countless Emmy and WGA Award nominations, and his incredible live show "Shit Arcade," which will be celebra
