    Sophie Cunningham REACTS to possible WNBA LOCKOUT, player's union & CBA drama

    Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham and Bravo’s West Wilson are back in New York (freezing in Midtown) fresh off a Marriott shoot, debating the proper pronunciation of “gyro,” breaking down West’s go-to NYC bars, Sophie’s fear of subway snakes, and asking the important questions — like whether it’s acceptable to kill spiders in your house. But then things get real. Sophie gives a raw, unfiltered update on the WNBA CBA negotiations — revenue share, salary caps, housing debates, expansion draft chaos, and why the players are more unified than ever. If there’s a delay to the season, she makes one thing clear: it won’t be because the players weren’t ready. From business talk to breakfast casseroles, ‘Summer House’ behind-the-scenes stories, Southwest Airlines rants, dating app dilemmas, tall-girl preferences, and whether CEOs even eat their own products—this episode has it all. 00:00 - Start 2:43 - West's top 3 NYC Spots 3:43 - Sophie’s fear of Subway snakes 6:30 - Sophie VS. spiders 7:00 - CBA talk: Sophie explains the executive board 7:30 - OFF THE RAILS 8:00 - Back to WNBA CBA Talk 8:30 - Only small salary cap changes 10:00 - Breaking down BRI Splits 10:30 - NBA VS WNBA jersey sales B.R.I.

    Carl Radke on Summer House tea, sobriety, hooping vs. WNBA legends

    This week on Show Me Something, the WNBA’s Sophie and Bravo’s West Wilson are joined by Summer House OG, author, podcaster — and secretly elite volleyball player and Syracuse D1 practice squad standout — Carl Radke. What starts off chaotic turns into one of our most honest (and funniest) conversations yet. Carl opens up about staying sober on reality TV, filming Summer House without drinking, and why theme-party fits matter more than people think. He gets real about growth, his public breakup with Lindsay Hubbard, rebuilding friendships with Kyle Cooke, and what it’s like watching your life back on TV for a decade on Bravo. Plus the Pittsburgh native talks sports roots, Jaromír Jágr secret Halloween ice cream stash, his All-American volleyball skill, Syracuse women’s hoops practice squad stories, the infamous Bailey Taylor makeout on this season of Summer House, and why taking compliments is still the hardest part.

    Sophie Cunningham warns of WNBA LOCKOUT & REACTS to Bad Bunny's NFL halftime show

    West Wilson is on an absolute HEATER — Jimmy Fallon, Super Bowl week, hosting NBC’s pregame show on a boat, then straight to Miami to shoot a commercial… while Sophie Cunningham is in Arizona coming off Waste Management mayhem and heading into NBA All-Star weekend chaos. In Episode 32, the crew breaks down West’s “green suit” discourse (and Sophie’s VERY WNBA-coded comparison ), the adrenaline rush of live TV, and meeting his hero, The Volume's own: Colin Cowherd. Then things get real as Sophie gives an inside-feeling update on the WNBA CBA situation and what a lockout/strike could actually mean. Plus: Hot Girls of the Week (a Super Bowl mom shoutout, plus USA Women’s Hockey getting love), Winter Olympics standouts (like the Quad God aka Ilia Malinin and his breath taking backflips), a Detroit Pistons and Charlotte Hornets NBA brawl recap, and a caller from Puerto Rico sparks a no filter Bad Bunny halftime convo. And Sophie reveals that a cameo on a certain country music star's song might be in the works! 00:00 - Start 2:00 - West’s debut on Jimmy Fallon 5:00 - West’s Super Bowl Broadcast Boat 8:00 - Sideline reporting experience breakdown 10:00 - Meeting Colin Cowherd 12:00 - West chilling with Jaxson Dart 13:00 - Sophie vs. Waste Management Open 15:00 - Super Bowl Recap 17:00 - WNBA CBA Talk 20:00 - Learning from MLB 23:00 - 70% WE HAVE A SEASON 25:00 - ARBY’S HOT GIRLS 28:00 - NBA BRAWL HORNETS VS PISTONS 30:00 - Valentine’s Day at Dave & Busters 32:00 - Winter Olympics Recap QUAD GOD 35:00 - Bad Bunny Super Bowl Recap 40:00 - Sophie country singing cameo?

    Sophie Cunningham REACTS to Caitlin Clark’s TV debut + Summer House premiere hype with West Wilson

    Episode 31 of Show Me Something is a full-blown life update and pop culture chaos combo: West Wilson starts by casually dropping that he’s heading to ‘The Tonight Show’ to meet Jimmy Fallon (with Keke Palmer too ) ahead of tonight’s premiere of ‘Summer House’ Season 10 on Bravo, before jetting to Super Bowl week to meet Colin Cowherd for the first time! Then Sophie Cunningham and West give their take on some headline-making news including Indiana Fever teammate Caitlin Clark’s analyst debut on NBC, Bill Belichick getting snubbed from the NFL Hall of Fame (Jordan Hudson was not happy), a battle of the crazier fan bases (Duke campers vs. Spurs head-shavers), and a ski-jumping “crotch stitching” scandal (yes… really). We wrap with the Arby’s Hot Girls of the Week, our pick to win this year’s Super Bowl between the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks, and a wholesome shoutout to a 3rd grader doing her “Famous Missourians” project on… Sophie Cunningham.

    Sophie Cunningham gets an NBA fan warning & Denver Broncos' Alex Singleton crashes the pod!

    Episode 30 is an in-person NYC chaos special, and Sophie Cunningham is not shy about one thing: New York is freezing and she’s not built for it. From cold-weather complaints to off-court bag talk, the vibes are immediate. Things escalate fast when Sophie somehow ends up with an actual NBA fan warning at Monday's Phoenix Suns vs Brooklyn Nets game, then has to publicly clear up the internet’s wild misinterpretation of her herpes joke (it’s a cold sore, relax). The convo rolls straight into Adidas fashion dominance, Indiana winning the College Football National Championship Game, and why buying coffee every day might actually be good for your mental health. Mid-episode, Bravo’s West Wilson delivers a completely unhinged breakdown of morning wood science, Dry January struggles, and what life looks like as ‘Summer House’ Season 10 creeps closer, including whether Sophie would survive in the Hamptons chaos. The back half turns legendary: Arby’s Hot Girl of the Week honors The Denver Broncos' Alex Singleton, who has been balling in this year's NFL Playoffs. Followed by a surprisingly real (and wild) discussion about testicular cancer, single-ball logistics, and Alex himself joining the show, via phone, to answer the internet’s most important questions. To close it out, the crew rips through headlines on Sophie's WNBA free agency, the death of movies, 2016 nostalgia, Geno Auriemma torching Connecticut pizza, and the weird ‘Black Mirror’–level tech unveiled at this year's 2026 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. 00:00 - START 1:00 - NY TOO COLD FOR SOPHIE 1:05 - SOPHIE'S BAG OFF THE COURT 6:00 - Sophie gets NBA FAN WARNING 7:10 - Sophie CLEARS UP HERPES CONVERSATION 10:00 - Adidas Photo Shoot coming up 11:00 - INDIANA WINS NATIONAL TITLE 12:00 - Adidas former WNBA Sponsor ?! 13:00 - Buying coffee everyday is good! 15:50 - WEST BREAKING DOWN MORNING WOOD 17:00 - DRY JANUARY WEST LIFE 18:00 - Summer House Season 10 Approaches 21:30 - If Sophie was on Summer House? 25:00 - Wake up Mic up 27:30 - Amanda & Kyle split up 29:30 - West reflects on reality fame 34:00 - ARBY’S HGOTW Broncos Alex Singleton 35:30 - TESTICULAR CANCER BATTLES 36:30 - Debating Alex Singleton’s ballsack lean 36:50 - Alex Singleton joins the show 39:30 - Sophie talks WNBA free agency 41:10 - Are movies COOKED? 46:00 - The 2016 Trend 47:30 - Geno Auriemma Calling out CT-PIZZA 55:00 - weird tech from Las Vegas Get your Meat & 3 box at an Arby's near you today.

    Sophie Cunningham & West Wilson: Unhinged first dates, Summer House tea, Tom Brady rumors

    The WNBA’s Sophie Cunningham and Bravo’s West Wilson kick things off with an aggressive iced coffee vs. hot coffee debate (because apparently hot drinks are a scam), and within minutes it turns into a full-on Kansas City Chiefs and Arrowhead dome meltdown that has West ready to throw up. From there, Sophie recaps the Sophie Cunningham Classic (packed gyms, elite hoops, big-time sponsors, and Columbia being dead when Mizzou isn’t in session), while also dealing with a suspicious combo of cold sore drama, mouth tape scars, and “toothpaste” evidence that the internet will absolutely not forgive. Then it’s rapid-fire pop culture and unhinged fun: ‘Summer House’ watch party news, Alix Earle and Tom Brady rumors, Arby’s Hot Girl of the Week goes to West’s mom (doctor cover shoot ICON), plus a viral list of “first date places women refuse to go” that sparks a heated debate… followed by appetizers-aren’t-for-sharing discourse, National Bagel Day rankings, and Joey Chestnut bagel-eating madness. To close it out, Hard Rock Bet brings the odds for the College Football Playoff Championship, and the crew makes their picks before signing off with one of their favorite episodes yet — and a call to get Becca Tilley on the pod. 00:00 - Start 1:00 - Hot vs Cold Coffee 5:00 - Cold football is the best 7:30 - KC Chiefs Rant continues 10:00 - Sophie’s mystery stains 12:00 - West’s Mouth tape scars 13:43 - Actual Sophie Cunningham Classic Recap 16:45 - SCC Future Schedule 18:00 - Do you like drinking? 20:00 - Lexi Hull Engaged… last year 21:00 - no CBA Progress WNBA Negotiations 25:00 - Great ASW Indy 2025 Story 26:00 - West Wilson on liver detox 27:30 - BRAVO WATCH PARTY 27:55 - West will be there! 31:00 - Alex Earle & Tom Brady Vacation 31:40 - Hot Girl Of The Week 35:40 - AD BREAK ARBYS 36:40 - Worst first date spots ranked! 41:50 - Appetizers meant to be shared? 43:20 - TOP 5 BAGELS LIST 45:20 - Joey Chestnut DMed Sophie 46:20 - Jaylen Brown NBA Ref Beef! 51:16 - AD BREAK HARD ROCK BET 52:30 - NCAA FOOTBALL FINALS PREVIEW Get your Meat & 3 box at an Arby's near you today.
