    The Reality Check Podcast: Vegas Vibes, Football Fever, and Trick’s Picks!

    This week, the boys from The Reality Check Podcast are getting hyped up for a trip to Vegas, baby! Hosted by Mike Scully with his trusty crew—J Nic, Trick with the picks, C Nic with Knowledge, and Shooter behind the controls—the energy is off the charts as they talk sports, plan their inevitable showdown with Lady Luck in Sin City, and welcome a very special guest: Hogan Hatten, long snapper for the Detroit Lions!

    Hogan Hatten: From Undrafted to the Lions' Roster

    Hogan Hatten, the Detroit Lions' long snapper, joins the show and shares his story of going from undrafted free agent to earning a spot on an NFL roster. Hogan gives us an inside look at the grind and the gut checks.. Ever wonder what it’s like to not hear your name called on draft day but still make your dream come true? Hogan’s got you covered.

    Trick’s Picks: Betting Hotter Than the Vegas Strip

    Trick is back with his famous Trick’s Picks, and this week, he’s coming in hotter than the Vegas sun. He’s been on a heater, calling winners left and right like he’s got a crystal ball (or maybe just some solid insider info). If you're placing bets on college or NFL this week, don’t miss Trick's golden predictions. He's been so good, even the sportsbooks are sweating.

    Football Breakdown: College, NFL, and Everything in Between

    Of course, the guys dive deep into football, breaking down everything from the latest college matchups to NFL headlines. Whether it’s Colorado's wild start under Coach Prime, or who’s going to step up in the NFC East, these guys know their football—and aren't shy about letting everyone know. But don’t let the analysis fool you, this crew loves to have fun. There’s more trash talk in this episode than an Eagles-Cowboys game, and somehow, it always circles back to Trick’s unhealthy obsession with the Bond girls.

    Headlines From Around the Sports World

    There’s a lot going on outside of the gridiron too. In this week’s headlines, Shohei Ohtani’s elbow takes another hit, and the future of the MLB’s best two-way player is as cloudy as ever. Also, Serena Williams hints at a potential return, and the world of women’s tennis is collectively losing its mind. The boys give their take on these stories and somehow manage to work in jokes about Vegas buffets, questionable blackjack strategies, and who’s going to be the first to lose all their money at the slot machines.

    Big Shout Out to Our Sponsors!

    We couldn’t do it without the support of our awesome sponsors! Big thanks to 3 City Pizza in Cape Coral, where the pizza is so good, even Trick will forget about his Bond girls for a minute. And shoutout to Coastal Title, the best in the business when it comes to making sure your real estate deals don’t fumble like a rookie quarterback under pressure.

    It’s going to be another unforgettable episode filled with football talk, Vegas vibes, and Trick’s never-ending quest to prove he's got the best picks in the game. Tune in, grab a slice of pizza, and get ready for some laughs, because when this crew is on, there’s no telling what’ll happen!

    The Reality Check Podcast Kicks Off the Football Season!

    Welcome back to another week of The Reality Check Podcast—the show where sports takes are fresh, the banter is wild, and the pizza is hot, courtesy of our amazing sponsor, 3 City Pizza!

    This week, Mike Scully is steering the ship with the usual crew: J Nic repping Seminole Country, Trick with the picks, C Nic dropping knowledge bombs, and Shooter manning the controls like a pro. The guys are diving headfirst into the start of football season, and if you're not hyped yet, just wait until you hear what went down this episode.

    NFL and College Football: Who’s Got the Edge?

    Trick, aka the human sports almanac, is on fire with his NFL and college football picks this week. He’s dropping gems like a magician, and as always, he has some strong feelings about Deion Sanders and the Colorado squad. The boys are breaking down the matchup against Nebraska and, let’s be honest, no one's more stoked than Scully to see the Cornhuskers get their shot at Coach Prime.

    Meanwhile, J Nic can’t let it slide without reminding everyone that his beloved Seminoles are gonna start to make some noise this season, even though Trick keeps throwing shade like he’s playing defense.

    Trick’s "Passion" for Women’s Basketball… or Lack Thereof

    And then there’s the women’s basketball segment—well, kinda. Trick doesn't really care for the game. In fact, he’s more interested in reminiscing about the women from James Bond movies. You can’t make this up! While C Nic tries to highlight some key players and Shooter is laughing too hard to breathe, Trick just keeps talking about Goldfinger. Priorities, right?

    Why You Should Tune In

    If you’re looking for serious sports talk with a side of nonsense, you won’t find a better crew than this. The Reality Check Podcast is all about football, ridiculous hot takes, and of course, a good laugh at Trick’s latest obsession with Bond girls. Whether you’re riding with the Seminoles, betting on Colorado, or just here for the madness, we’ve got you covered.

    The Reality Check Podcast: Kicking Off Football Season with a Bang!

    This week on The Reality Check Podcast, the boys are back and ready to dive headfirst into the world of sports! Our fearless leader, Mike Scully, is joined by the usual suspects—J Nick, Shooter, Yoda, and Trick—for an episode packed with laughter, sports talk, and a whole lot of friendly banter.

    First up, J Nick has returned from his Irish adventure, where he unfortunately had to witness his beloved FSU Seminoles take a tough loss against Georgia Tech. The pain is real, folks, but Trick didn’t miss the opportunity to rub a little salt in the wound, reminding everyone that The Gators are, without a doubt, superior to those Seminoles. Ouch!

    The guys didn’t stop at football, though. They delved into some golf talk, discussing the FedEx Cup and the latest in the PGA world. Shooter was behind the board, though he was moving a bit slower than usual after a late night of drinking. No one does dedication quite like Shooter, even if it means limping through the episode.

    Yoda, as always, brought his wisdom and insight to the table, and Trick came in hot with his college football picks against the spread. And just when you thought the action couldn’t get any better, all the guys made their picks for the opening week of football season. The excitement is real, and the stakes are high!

    We want to thank everyone for tuning in and joining us on this wild ride. Don’t forget to subscribe to The Reality Check Podcast on YouTube, rate us on Spotify, and download on Apple Podcasts. Special shoutout to our sponsor, 3 City Pizzeria—keeping us fueled and ready to tackle the sports world one slice at a time.

    Welcome back to The Reality Check Podcast, where the opinions are loud, the drinks are cold, and the sports talk never stops! Hosted by the one and only Mike Scully, this week’s episode is a wild ride as the boys dive deep into everything from the final moments of the Olympics in Paris to the kickoff of the college football season. And let’s not forget those last-minute NFL over/under picks that everyone’s been waiting for.

    This week, Scully is joined by a special guest this week: Chief Osceola's top guy Mark King, aka "The Kinger," Scully’s loyal drinking buddy Trick, and the wise sage Yoda, who’s always dropping some serious sports knowledge. Behind the board, Shooter makes sure the sound is crisp, the conversation stays on track (mostly), and that no one gets away with too many ridiculous takes.

    What’s Cooking This Week:

    • The Paris Olympics Recap: The torch is out, and the boys are giving their takes on the best moments, the most shocking upsets, and how Team USA stacked up against the world.

    • NFL Over/Under Madness: The final picks are in! Scully and the gang lay down the last of their over/under bets for the upcoming NFL season. Which teams are getting hyped, and which ones are headed straight for heartbreak?

Let’s be real—these guys might know their sports, but they’re also here for the fun of it, bragging rights, and seeing who can outsmart who.
