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!

The Reality Check Podcast: Boys, Sports, and Bragging Rights

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.

• College Football Fever: With the season just days away, the crew breaks down their predictions, big matchups to watch, and why this year’s kickoff feels extra electric.

• 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?

The Reality Check Vibe:

At its core, The Reality Check Podcast is about a bunch of sports fanatics getting together each week to flex their “expertise,” share a few laughs, and remind each other (and the listeners) who really knows their stuff. It’s the perfect blend of friendly banter, bold predictions, and just enough “boys being boys” energy to keep you entertained. 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.
