Step up to the plate, Jeeks! In this heavy-hitting episode of The Original Jeek Podcast, your host, the one and only RockinMrMagic, is joined by special guest Brian Hernandez, host of Zero Dark Nerdy. They're throwing curveballs and sliders, discussing the greatest baseball lineups in cinematic history and the dream MLB roster pulled straight from the annals of the sport's legends.
From the mound to the outfield, they're drafting a team that's a mix of silver screen icons and real-life heroes. Get ready to debate whether Ricky "Wild Thing" Vaughn should be your starting pitcher or if Crash Davis deserves to be behind the plate. And when it comes to managing this all-star cast, who better than the calm and collected Joe Torre?
But it's not all about the diamond. We're diving into the potential for reboots of classic TV shows with a modern twist. Could "Moonlighting" make a comeback? Is there room for "The $6 Million Man" in today's billion-dollar world? And, of course, we're tackling the intersections of sports, pop culture, and the moments that resonate through our lives.
Don't miss this grand slam of an episode, where nostalgia meets now and every base is loaded with rich conversation. Join us as we celebrate the love of the game, both on-screen and off, and remember to connect with The Original Jeeks on Twitter @_rockinmrmagic @uniqdna or the show @JeekNation.

Buckle up, Jeek Nation, because we're about to slam into the wrestling ring with a powerhouse episode of The Original Jeek Podcast! This bonus episode is a joint collaboration of Dad Is Not a Noun podcast and Jeek Nation. RockinMrMagic joins DNN host Ishmael Street.
We're tackling the monumental deal that's got everyone talking – WWE's Monday Night Raw jumps from cable to Netflix in a groundbreaking $5 billion agreement. We're unpacking the implications, from international streaming rights to the potential for interactive viewer experiences. Could this mean WrestleMania on Netflix? The future is now, and it's full of possibilities.
But that's not all. We're also exploring the future of AEW in the streaming landscape and the importance of striking while the iron's hot. With cable on the decline, where will SmackDown land, and how will the WWE's new home on Netflix influence the industry and attract new talent?
Plus, we've got the inside scoop on Jeek Nation's exciting new acquisition – the Dads Who Like Anime podcast. Get ready for late spring when we bring more geeky dad content your way. If you're a dad who loves anime, we want to hear from you!
And for the grand slam, we're discussing the potential of wrestling legends like Okada stepping into WWE rings. Should they bypass NXT and head straight for the main roster? We're weighing in with our hot takes.
