    Feb 12 2024

    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.
