In this loaded edition of Geeks Who Like Sports, Ray and Lee break down everything from playoff upsets to platform wars. The Knicks stun the Celtics in Game 1, the Nuggets pull off a wild comeback, and the NBA is finally giving us some vintage Eastern Conference vibes. Over in the NHL, the Jets shock the Blues, Dallas survives Colorado, and the Oilers finally overcome the Kings—but Lee and Ray have strong thoughts about who actually looks like a Cup contender.

Then it’s onto geekdom: Daredevil: Born Again is a massive win for Marvel, Xbox raises prices and puts Gears of War on PlayStation (?!), Fortnite beats Apple in court, and GTA VI gets delayed—but not before dropping one of the most jaw-dropping trailers of all time.

Also: Ray has a new job, Lee’s hitting the road coaching, and the Geeks are taking a short hiatus—but don’t worry, they’ll be back in a few weeks with even more playoffs, power plays, and pop culture chaos. Until then: enjoy the games, enjoy May, and remember… unlimited power!

WrestleMania 41 is in the books, and the Geeks Who Like Sports crew is here to break it all down—Vegas chaos, shocking finishes, awkward escalator runs, and all. Ray returns from Allegiant Stadium with a firsthand report, Lee’s got hot takes, and producer Xavier Cruz-Mercado hops on the mic to give his perspective as host of New to Wrestling and a longtime fan.

From Jay Uso submitting Gunther to the rise of Io Sky and Dominik Mysterio’s pop, the guys cover every major moment of a weekend that felt more like a season premiere than the typical Mania payoff. Was Triple H playing 4D chess? Did Tiffany Stratton earn her spot while Charlotte mailed it in? And are we really okay with Travis Scott being the reason John Cena wins title #17?

They also hit:

• The Raw after Mania reveals: Rusev’s return, JD McDonagh’s Return, and Becky turning on Lyra.
• The low-key brilliance of Bron Breaker and why he’s got “it.”
• WWE buying AAA and opening the forbidden door (the real one).
• And yes… Joe Hendry. That pop. That theme. That perfect three-minute Match

It’s bold. It’s chaotic. It’s passionate. It’s Geeks Who Like Sports doing what they do best—geeking out and calling it like it is.

🎧 Hit play, mark out, and remember: this ain’t the end—it’s just the beginning.
