Original Geek
🎙 Hosted by: Steve Scarfo (Stand-up comic, and lifelong nerd) and Jeff Shaw (The Forever DM).

Remember when being a geek meant hiding your D&D dice from your parents… because they thought you were summoning demons? When downloading a single comic book cover took all night (and your mom’s phone line)? When Star Wars was a religion, and Atari was a lifestyle?

Welcome to Original Geek—the podcast for gen-x adults who never outgrew their obsessions. Each episode, Steve & Jeff crack open the time capsule of sci-fi, fantasy, comics, and gaming with sarcastic wit, sharp storytelling, and zero gatekeeping. From heated debates like Star Trek vs. Star Wars to nostalgic deep-dives into 80s cartoons, obscure VHS treasures, con culture, and epic D&D fails—we celebrate the golden age of geekdom through the lens of the people who actually lived it.

This isn’t some corporate nerd-splaining feed. It’s a raw, hilarious, and slightly crusty love letter to the generation that made geek cool before the MCU figured out how to profit from it.

If you’ve ever rolled a 20 on shag carpet, quoted He-Man unironically, or built a PC just to play Myst… this podcast was made for you.

Each week, you’ll get:

• 📼 Hilarious takes on iconic movies, games, and shows
• Stories from the “before times” (when being a nerd got you beat up, not sponsored)
• Deep dives into the fandoms we love—with zero gatekeeping
• Segments like Geek Court, Geek Evolution and Ask and O.G.

🎧 Geek nostalgia, hot takes, interviews, rants, and basement-level treasure hunts
💥 Comic-Con meets comedy club.

You’re not alone.
You’re an Original Geek.
