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.
