The Reality Check : Prez 47, Picks, and Nickname Shenanigans This week on The Reality Check Podcast, the crew dives deep into the latest moves from Prez 47 himself, Donald J. Trump. With whispers of cabinet picks and all the juicy drama of a second Trump term, the boys have a few opinions of their own on who might snag a seat at the table (and who definitely shouldn’t). Will Trump’s lineup be a mix of Washington vets, or are we talking the wild cards only Reality Check could predict? On to the gridiron! Mike Scully, J Nic from Free Shoes University, Trick from Southern Alabama, and the ever-wise C Nic aka Yoda bring their A-game for the week's College and NFL Picks. Shooter keeps it steady behind the board, but his allegiance? We’ll let you find that out. The big questions this week: Can the Chiefs keep the streak alive, and will the Packers keep reminding the Bears why Chicago can’t catch a break? And don’t even get us started on Tennessee vs. Georgia—it’s SEC showdown time, baby. For the fantasy football heads, the crew’s throwing out some sleeper picks bound to stir up the league! Now, if football’s your sport but nicknames are your jam, buckle up. It’s nickname game time, and things got... interesting. J Nic and Shooter dished out new monikers for each other, and let's just say these names might not be Hall of Fame material. In fact, these nicknames might just set off a feud we’ll be following for a while! And if that wasn’t enough, J Nic came in hot this week, getting a bit confrontational with Trick. Who won this war of words? Tune in to hear it straight from the source. Of course, we’re serving it all with slices of 3 City Pizza, straight outta Cape Coral, Florida. Massive shoutout to our sponsors—Coastal Title Company and Coastal Waterfront Rentals with Peter—keeping us in business and keeping your waterfront dreams alive. Whether you’re in for the sports hot takes, the Trump talk, or just here for the nickname game, don’t miss this week’s Reality Check.

Reality Check Recap: The Election Special and Football Fire! This week on The Reality Check Podcast, our all-star team of hosts took on a spicy episode, blending politics, football, and classic Reality Check antics. Mike Scully, as always, calls the plays in the huddle, steering the conversation with his signature smooth style. In a surprising political twist, the crew celebrated Trump’s big election win, hopeful that he’ll deliver on his promises. Now, while the podcast usually strays from heavy political talk, this time they couldn’t hold back – after all, there’s a lot on the line! As for football, let’s just say… J Nic’s picks have been an absolute disaster. If he had a dollar for every wrong prediction, he’d be buying waterfront property and using Coastal Title every month! With a record that looks like he’s picking out of a hat, J Nic has earned himself some serious roasting. Meanwhile, Trick continues to bring the heat, laying down picks with military precision. The man’s got his NFL and college football insights down pat, and if we’re being honest, he’s probably carrying the show’s betting cred on his back. But no one is running hotter than Yoda, whose wisdom and uncanny ability to call the game make him the true MVP. Yoda’s knowledge is so vast, you’d think he’s got some kind of secret hotline to the football gods. If you’re putting your money down, take it from Yoda—he’s got the foresight of a Jedi Master and isn’t afraid to let the crew know it! The crew didn’t just stop at picks this week—they dove into Fantasy Football insights, dishing out recommendations that will make or break your lineup. Brought to you by 3 City Pizza, Coastal Title, and Coastal Vacation Properties, this episode is the perfect blend of laughs, predictions, and a little political edge. So, grab a slice, tune in, and catch Mike, Trick, Yoda, Shooter, and (if you dare) J Nic, as they bring you the week’s biggest insights, Reality Check style

The Reality Check: After Midnight with The Boys

Welcome back to The Reality Check, where Mike Scully and the crew remind you of one eternal truth: "Nothing good happens after midnight." But here we are, keeping it real, even when the clock says otherwise.

This week, we honor some legends, kick off some hot takes, and dive into the world of fantasy football.

Pete Rose, the all-time hit king, deserves his roses. With a career spanning decades, his contribution to baseball is unmatched. We remember the greatness of Pete Rose—his passion for the game, and the way he redefined what it meant to hustle. Sure, controversy followed him, but no one can deny the record he left behind.

Known for his shot-blocking skills and the iconic finger wag, we take a moment to remember the life and legacy of Dikembe Mutombo. A dominant force on the court and an even bigger force off the court, his impact on the NBA and the world through his humanitarian efforts will be remembered forever.

Caitlin Clark continues to take women’s basketball to new heights. Her ability to score from anywhere on the court has left fans and opponents in awe. We tip our hats to one of the brightest stars in sports today.

As we hit the mid-season grind, some coaches are feeling the heat. The boys break down who's on the chopping block and who might not survive the season. From the NFL to college, we give you our take on the future of these coaches. Will they make it to the end, or are we looking at a changing of the guard?

The boys dive deep into this week's Fantasy Football breakdown. Who should be in your starting lineup, and who deserves a seat on the bench? Get the latest scoop on who's hot and who's not, ensuring you make the right calls to dominate your league.

We’ve got the picks that you won’t want to miss. Whether you're looking at NFL or college football, the boys give you winners that you can take straight to the bank. If you're betting this week, don't place those wagers without checking in with The Reality Check crew first.

Reality Check Podcast Blog: Hurricane Helene, Caitlyn Clark, and the Bleep Heard ‘Round the World

Welcome back to The Reality Check Podcast, where the only thing fiercer than our takes is Hurricane Helene—which just so happened to roll through while we were recording this latest episode. While Helene left its mark on the outside world, the real damage this week was done to Trick’s ego, courtesy of Shooter, who had to bleep out Trick’s colorful language more times than we care to count. The irony? No one will ever know just how filthy Trick really is (thanks to the power of bleep technology).

This week’s episode covers the wide world of sports, but we kicked things off with a conversation about Caitlyn Clark’s stellar season coming to an end. The Iowa basketball phenom might be hanging up her jersey for now, but we’re already talking about what’s next for her career.

Then it was time for some Fantasy Football Fever. We broke down who’s hot and who’s not in fantasy leagues this season, and let’s just say, if you haven’t been following along with our tips, you’re probably regretting it by now. Trick’s Picks continue to be pure gold—he’s cashing in week after week with spot-on predictions. His Southern charm might not translate to keeping his language clean, but when it comes to football, the man knows his stuff.

We closed the show with a history lesson, courtesy of Shooter. Who knew the guy behind the board could drop such wisdom? Shooter’s history facts and deep dives always bring a fresh perspective, reminding us that there's more to life (and sports) than the present moment.

So, if you’re looking for a podcast that can survive hurricanes, bleep out bad language, and still deliver top-tier sports insights, The Reality Check Podcast has you covered. Presented by 3 City Pizza in Cape Coral, Florida, we bring the heat—whether it’s from the oven or the airwaves. Catch the latest episode now, and as always, keep it real with The Reality Check.

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, 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 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.

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.

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.

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!
