Strap in, Jeeks! RockinMrMagic is back with another electrifying episode of The Original Jeek Podcast – where jock culture meets geek culture. This week, the gridiron takes center stage as we dissect the 2023-24 NFL playoff wild card weekend. From the stunning rise of Houston's CJ Stroud to the crushing defeats of NFC East contenders, we're breaking down the good, the bad, and the downright ugly.

But wait, there's more! We're diving deep into the Hall of Fame nominee list for 2024. Will Vince Carter's high-flying career earn him a spot? Does Bill Laimbeer's gritty play translate into enshrinement? And what about the Redeem Team's legacy? All these burning questions will be tackled with the insightful analysis you've come to expect.

Plus, we've got a special guest joining the fray – author Greg Burnham returns to the show, bringing his unique perspective to the sports world and beyond. Don't miss his candid conversation with RockinMrMagic as they explore everything from the evolution of basketball to the significance of mentoring young athletes.

And if that wasn't enough, we're also touching on the gaming world with a hot take on the remastering trend – is it a cash grab or a fan service?

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.
