Jeff Has Cool Friends Episode 97: Dr. Susan Finkbeiner Part II

Mar 04 2025 73 mins  
OK, I'm taking the hint when a lot of you said you wanted more Dr. Finbeiner content. I asked her if she could come back so we could do some of the stuff I wanted to talk about with her on the last episode. Did we do that? Maybe. Honestly, she and I always just kinda drift with what we say, and this is a really fun episode. So sit back, relax, and enjoy more of the bug doctor.

Jeff Has Cool Friends 96: Dr. Susan Finkbeiner

Feb 11 2025 66 mins  
My latest Cool Friend is the incredible Dr. Susan Finkbeiner. I'm not sure how to describe her, other than she might just be one of the most interesting people I've ever met. She's one of the country's foremost Lepidopterists, having been published and featured by the likes of PBS, National Geographic, and more. That alone would be cool enough, but then she had to go and be a runwa

Jeff Has Cool Friends 95: Elise Golgowski

Jan 28 2025 62 mins  
My Cool Friend Elise Golgowski is incredible, and I think that's nice. She's not only a fantastic comedian and content creator, but she also has one of the coolest jobs out there as she is a professional editor for, among other things, many prominent comedy specials. Ironically, Elise has been a guest on both NERD! and I Must Break You, and I've been dying to get her

Jeff Has Cool Friends 94: Adam Tod Brown (Part III)

Jan 14 2025 78 mins  
Look, these are obviously the most popular episodes, even though my best friend Adam Tod Brown is a bad person who is bad. But hey, you all seem to like him, so who am I to judge? In reality though, there's nobody I'd rather have start the year out than Adam. And holy smokes, he has an announcement to make that is going to shake the foundations of the YDELP World. I figured, as w

Hey y'all! Wanted to close out the year with a review of everything that happened both professionally and personally over here and on the Patreon. Forgive me if it seems repetitive or if it goes on tangents. Unlike a lot of the work I do, this was purposefully unplanned (minus names of producers and guests)I like this kind of episode to come more from the heart than the brain, and

Dec 17 2024 90 mins  
My Cool Friend Randall Maynard is one of the most requested guests in show history, and I'm glad I could finally get him on the show. I've known Randall since back in the Cracked days, where he was the art director! Since then, we've been circling each other on various podcasts and in life. Recently, he's begun an incredible new venture with Ran Dollz, where he's making custom bo
