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!

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 celebrating a stint at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival this August! I'm gonna be honest: I have no chill in this episode. I really admire Mike, and recognize him as the guy I would've sat with at lunch in school every day. I think people you appreciate should know it, so here we are. Enjoy the episode. Follow Mike on social media (if you somehow haven't already), go pickup (or download) Good Game, No Rematch, and head on over to Patreon.com/jeffmay to enjoy, among any other things, the exclusive content we recorded JUST FOR PATRONS!

My latest Cool Friend is the incredible comedian/actor/writer/genius James Adomian.

My Cool Friend John Layman is so great and cool! Funny story, but he created one of the greatest and most popular independent comic books of all-time in CHEW. Have you read it? You should read it.

Well I didn't until after I booked this show, and boy what a happy accident because it sounds amazing. We talk about so much fun stuff, some of it a little inside comicsball, some of it is not.

Folks, I FINALLY got to sit down with Cool Friend and nerd legend Jim Fletcher. Jim is one of the most fascinating, talented and well-dressed people I've ever known, and he has a resume that you couldn't make up if you tried. He's widely known as the man that ran DC Collectibles (and its various incarnations) for 2 decades, but did you know that he also illustrated the cover of one of the NES's most sought after games? Did you also know that he created the incredible Flippitoons, a brilliantly insane and fascinating fantasy art project that's gained enough attention to warrant a hardcover collection that YOU can help Kickstart right HERE right NOW!This episode was such a blast to record, and I've been chomping at the bit to get Jim on the show, so this is just one of my favorites, and don't worry, I ask some very important Batman questions.

I'm so excited to be joined by my latest Cool Friend, the incredible Maggie Mae Fish. Maggie is one heck of a multi-hyphenate: host, writer, actor, producer, and so much more. In researching all of the things that make Maggie great, it dawned on me that I don't actually KNOW much about her. I know her. We've been in many social situations together. And yet, here we are, strangers as friends. Truly a fascinating opportunity to not only talk about some of the amazing projects she's worked on (including Amy's Dead End Dreamhouse on Nebula, and the upcoming BLOW! short film, which you can help out with at their Seed & Spark page) but to get to know my friend better. And that's what we do.So enjoy, follow @Maggie.Mae.Fish on IG, support BLOW! if you can, and head on over to Patreon.com/jeffmay to enjoy the exclusive content we recorded JUST FOR PATRONS!
