The Reality Check Podcast: Hot Takes, Sleepy Takes, and Tricks of the Trade This week on The Reality Check Podcast, the lineup brought a slight twist as C Nic aka Yoda hit the road with his family, leaving his mic to the fiery takes of special guest host Elliot the Terrapin Gator. True to form, Elliot brought the heat and more than a few scorching opinions to the table, keeping the rest of the crew on their toes. Meanwhile, J Nic started the show a bit on the sleepy side, but just like a game-winning drive, he rallied strong in the final stretch. As always, Scully took charge like the true ringleader he is. A Fighting Illini alum and former NFL long snapper, Scully has a knack for keeping the conversation sharp, steering the ship with questions and topics as precise as his snaps back in the day. This week's episode was a knockout—literally—as the boyz dove deep into the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight. They broke down the spectacle and what it means for boxing’s new-age vs. old-school clash. They didn’t stop there, taking it to the octagon to discuss the explosive world of UFC, featuring appearances from Trump, Elon Musk, and Jon Jones. If you thought the fights were spicy, just wait until you hear the takes. Of course, The Reality Check wouldn’t be complete without Trick’s Picks, the golden locks of the sports world. Trick made his college and NFL predictions with his trademark confidence, sprinkling in his signature segment, “What Sands My Paper,” to let us know what’s been grinding his gears lately. Spoiler: he didn’t hold back. Rounding things out, Shooter kept us entertained with This Day in Sports History, serving up some surprising and laugh-out-loud moments from the past. It’s a fan-favorite segment for a reason, and Shooter once again nailed the delivery.
