About this episode
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.

Episode summary
Kicked off wild, joking I’m out of shape, then flexed that I’m cleared for everything, mugged for the camera, and winced that it tugged a bit—chaos energy locked in.
Show Me Something, episode thirty, we’re finally together in New York, and I’ve got to ask, what brings you here?
Meetings and a shoot, but wow, this cold is not my vibe; I love the city, just give me summer.
I went courtside because my friend Matt handles athlete investments, picked the Nets over the Knicks, and it was a snoozer; we even got a warning after a light joke with a staffer about walking baseline during warmups.
Knicks courtside is unicorn-rare, Nets is what people get, and down on the floor folks treat pregame like a war room, so the vibe can be tight.
Quick PSA: that viral clip was a cold sore joke that spun out; yes, they’re related to herpes, no, I don’t have that, and I probably got it from weather swing and sharing chapstick.
I’m here for an Adidas product thing with another athlete, which is rare since our schedules never line up; also loved Adidas cashing a college football title with Indiana after beating Nike’s face school.
For schools it’s all bids and multi-year deals, which is how my college flipped brands back then—cleats, contracts, the whole program, not just one sport.
Breakfast was protein heavy, then I walked for coffee for mental health, and I’m a big believer in morning workouts since you feel accomplished and your hormones favor it.
We had those 6 a.m. practices too, and even as a non-morning person I was sharper in class after moving.
January is clean living before premiere and Super Bowl, but I’m low-key dreading watching the first episode in a crowd because seeing yourself for the first time is jarring, even though most of our summer is fun.
Comments can’t run your life—if you live by them, you’ll die by them—so I’m keeping the main thing the main thing, getting back into basketball shape, and we should do a workout pod.
I’ll try to keep up, and while we’re on reality world, I’m asking the internet to give Amanda and Kyle space; even if your relationship is public, you still deserve boundaries.
Totally—when everything is on display it takes guts to choose what’s healthiest, and I just want them both at peace.
People feel attached to who you are, not a role, which makes big personal decisions heavy, so kindness actually matters here.
That’s why I rethink posting family; one sweet clip drew creeps fast, and now I get why some people hide their kids’ faces.
Someone even prank-called my parents, so yeah, safety first; for our Arby’s hawk pick I’m going with Alex Singleton for a textbook playoff hit, and we talked about his testicular cancer—he had one removed and said the other stays put on its side.
My shout is the whole Indiana team—first title, coach is ice-cold focused and barely cracks a smile, and I respect it.
Matt Damon says streaming makes scripts repeat the plot because people watch distracted; do folks even know how to watch movies now?
I nod off during films and end up finishing them over days, so I’m not helping the case.
I miss the theater experience, one story in one sitting, and while I ride for Jason Bourne, a lot of straight-to-stream releases feel flat.
Series work for me on the road, and I’m loving the 2016 throwback energy where everyone is less precious and more fun.
Bring back crunchy filters and mannequin freezes, those moments were a blast.
Geno Auriemma torched New Haven hype—pizza capital, really—so what makes a great slice and where is it best?
New Haven love feels like a New York contrarian flex, but New York’s water truly levels up dough and bagels.
Forget trends and pick what you like; Arizona pizza is rough, and St. Louis style is so specific it becomes a craving.
SFO’s Harvey Milk terminal won most beautiful—are airports secretly good hangs?
Most airports are the same, grab an elite airport beer and chill, but access matters more—San Diego is a breeze, JFK is a hike, and Dallas could raise those ceilings.
Clean bathrooms help, Denver’s nap pods are clutch on long layovers, and Kansas City’s new terminal is bright and modern.
Easy airport drop-offs and a quick path to baggage claim make a huge difference.
If you land and then have to wait for a shuttle just to get an Uber, I’m out—LAX still feels like that.
Last headline and we’ll wrap: let’s skip UFC and go weird tech from CES—Razer’s Project AVA is a six-inch AI companion for your desk that can look like anything and calls itself a lifelong friend with scheduling and strategy help.
It’s giving that Joaquin Phoenix movie where he falls for the AI, and yeah, people will catch feelings for bots.
I think of Disney’s Smart House, and while AI can help, it already feels too far—some of those robot demos creep me out like they’ll snap one day.
Next up, a lollipop that plays music through bone conduction while you chew, with flavors named for Ice Spice, Akon, and Armani White—would you try it?
Great licensing, but why—you're basically eating candy and listening at the same time.
Final one: a 130-inch TV, huge enough to rival an NBA backboard—do you need this at home?
Only if the wall demands it, because a tiny screen on a massive wall looks ridiculous, like that tiny TV bit from The Office.
There’s a market for giant custom installs, and this one’s basically two Kevins tall, but don’t ask me to mount it—I’ll just come watch.
When we got our first flat screen, my mom hung drapes over it to keep it low-key, which made it look even weirder.
Signing off from New York: I love being here, hate the weather, and live pods hit better; thanks for listening, we love you—you're such a nerd.
