Jeff Has Cool Friends 74: Rey Taira, President of...

2024/03/12

Oh boy is my latest Cool Friend a doozy! Honestly, I'm not sure how I even managed to snag Rey Taira for this long, as he was supposed to be getting ready for TF Con (Transformers) as his company, threezero, is going to have a HUGE presence there. But hey, I'm not complaining. Rey is one of the coolest, kindest, nerdiest nerds I know, and I'm so stoked to just geek out with him for a while. Wait until you hear about all the stuff that, not only his company produces, but that he himself

Jeff Has Cool Friends 73: Jon Jabs of The Past is Alive

2024/02/27

My Cool Friend this episode is the amazing Jon Jabs of one of my favorite Youtube channels, The Past Is Alive. When I was researching card breakers a few years back in order to check out how it's done right, I stumbled onto his fascinating channel and it was just everything I could have hoped for. Jon is fun, knowledgeable, interactive, and charming as heck at every turn, and he's cultivated a fantastic and supportive community in the TPIA family. I quickly became a huge fan of his work, as

Jeff Has Cool Friends 72: Bob Fingerman

Jeff Has Cool Friends ·

2024/02/13

My latest Cool Friend is one of those friends that, when I met him for the first time, I kinda quietly geeked out. I grew up marveling at his images in secondhand Cracked magazines I got from my mom’s friend Cathy, and admiring his work from there on out at various points in my life. Bob is a master cartoonist, having credits all over the pop culture universe. From Cracked and MAD, to Marvel and DC, to TMNT and Heavy Metal, to his cult comic series Minimum Wage, I can’t imagine you HAVEN’T seen

Jeff Has Cool Friends 71: Bailey Norton

2024/01/30

My latest Cool Friend is the immensely talented comedian/host/rabblerouser Bailey Norton. Bailey is not only a masterful comic (I mean, she’s done Mint on Card several times and co-hosts the amazing Femmes the Rules live show) and fantastic podcast host (Hot Topic with Pickle and Bailey is a delight!), but she’s often found going viral across social media with her delightful traps laid out for toxic masculinity. Her bits have become so legendary, that she’s even partnered up with Reductress to make

Jeff Has Cool Friends Episode 70: Cat LaCohie AKA...

Jeff Has Cool Friends ·

2024/01/16

OK, for real I'm not sure that I have enough space to list this episode's Cool Friend's accomplishments. Cat LaCohie (or Vixen DeVille, if you want to get all burlesque about it) is one of those people that is so filled to the brim with talent and drive, that I don't even know where to start. When we met, she out-comedied me before walking on shards of broken glass. You've probably seen her breathe fire on tv. She has an award-winning solo show that's dominated many

Jeff Has Cool Friends 69: TJ Shevlin of Upper Deck

Jeff Has Cool Friends ·

2023/12/19

OK, so my Cool Friend TJ Shevlin may be the Product Development Coordinator for Upper Deck's Marvel Comics line of trading cards, and that's pretty amazing. But boy does that merely scratch the surface of all the cool, amazing stuff he's done. TJ is one of only SIX Eisner Awards judges (the Oscars of comics, given away at SDCC) and he's had his hands in almost every nerdy cookie jar you can imagine. This is a really geeky one in the best way, and we could've legit recorded for

I'm so stoked to put this episode up, as my Cool Friends Michael Randolph (@MRandolph24) Paige Wesley (@RampaigeWesley) and Todd Schlosser (@ToddJAwesome) from two of my favorite pods, Horror Virgin and Romancing the Pod are joining me this week. I've known Paige for quite a while, and since guesting on an episode of HV, I've become fast friends with the Tennessee-based Todd and Mikey. It made perfect sense to have the three of them on to talk about the cool-ass shows they do. We talk

Well, well, well, look what we have here. It's David Bell! He's my Cool Friend, and we talk about stuff! And things! Honestly, the way we gel when we talk made this one of the easiest episodes to record, and the time went by so quickly that we couldn't honestly believe that we had burned through an hour. You might know Dave from his work with Gamefully Unemployed (Hype Cast, Fox Mulder is a Maniac, Star Trek the Next Futurama) or as the head writer of Some More News. You might know him

My latest Cool Friend, Dan Larson, is the first guest of the show that I haven't knowingly met, although I'm 99% sure we've bumped into each other. The co-creator/writer/host of the popular YouTube channel Secret Galaxy (née Toy Galaxy), Dan is a New England nerd with a career talking about dorky stuff on the internet and HEY WAIT A SECOND!!!

2023/10/03

We’ve got a really great episode coming your way as I’m joined by my incredibly Cool Friends Aviv Rubinstein and Rachel Brodsky from the In Sync Podcast. As a matter of fact, this episode is a bit of what the kids call a collab, as I’m the beneficiary of a scheduling conflict that is allowing me to drop a “lost” episode of In Sync where we cover Seal’s Kiss From a Rose from Batman Forever. (Explains why we did the show together, no?) Consider this a preview, of sorts, of the In Sync pod, a fantastic

2023/09/19

My latest Cool Friend, Timmy Heague, did something I can't even imagine, when at the age when most of us were figuring out what to do with our lives, he opened what would become one of the most succesful comic shops in Southern California, with Arsenal Comics and Games. Not only is this store the site of the infamous INSULT CGC 10 from the Zeb Wells episode, but it's a store that has reinvigorated an entire community to love and rally behind the comics industry. Here's the thing though:

Jeff Has Cool Friend Episode 62: Lisa Wallen

Sometimes you meet a Cool Friend in the places you least expect them. Other times it's at Comic Con, where a ton of your other Cool Friends are. I met the incredible Lisa Wallen at the second one, and wouldn't you know it, less than a year later she was living within 3 miles of my place in Los Angeles. Funny how things work out. Lisa, aside from being a fantastic standup comic, is a power-nerd, through and through. She's a literal paid expert on anime, has a popular streaming channel on
