“Remember keeping baseball box scores by hand? Today, those same stat-obsessed weirdos run billion-dollar fantasy leagues and sports betting apps. In this episode of Original Geek, Steve and Jeff take a nostalgic (and hilarious) look at how sports geeks went from the stands with scorecards to running the game from behind the screen.”

Welcome to Original Geek—the podcast for anyone who rolled their first d20 on shag carpet, waited hours for a comic book JPEG to load on dial-up, and wore the label “geek” back when it got you mocked, not monetized.
Hosted by stand-up comic Steve Scarfo and Forever DM Jeff Shaw, we dive deep into what it meant to be a geek in the '70s and '80s—and how that underground culture became the mainstream multiverse we live in today.
🎙️ Subscribe for weekly episodes on Dungeons & Dragons, Star Wars, comic book chaos, geek court debates, and critical hits from your childhood basement.
