Sophie Cunningham
It's good.
[02:09]
West Wilson
Your relationship with the city until you're here for.
[02:10]
Sophie Cunningham
No, a thousand percent. Because I was with Phoenix for the past six years, seven years almost. And I loved it out there. Like, it was just so much different. I'm such a, like, outside pool girl. I think you know that. And so I. I loved it out there, but it was just time for a switch up. And so when I got traded here, I literally got here very, very end of April, early May. And so I've loved it. Like, I've missed the Midwest people. I've missed the culture. People are just so nice here. Food's good. I get meatloaf really, like, wherever I go. Like, I haven't had meatloaf in so long. The west coast don't eat meatloaf.
[02:45]
West Wilson
Yeah, I wouldn't.
[02:46]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah, they eat, like, rabbits. Rabbits just fine. But I miss my meatloaf. And so I'm just happy to be back here. And, like, the team is phenomenal. Some of the best teammates I've had in a really long time. So, like, I'm actually happy.
[02:57]
West Wilson
I'll just get this out of the way because I know people will be interested.
[03:00]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah.
[03:01]
West Wilson
One of your teammates. Arguably one of the biggest stars the WNBA's ever. Who's that had her name rhymes with Schmaitland?
[03:12]
Sophie Cunningham
Kirtland.
[03:13]
West Wilson
Yeah. What has that been like, seeing her not only kind of transform a league, but also just be like, no, it's not fair to say.
[03:21]
Sophie Cunningham
Not even just the league, but, like, women's basketball as a whole, around the world. No, I think it's awesome. I think it's so funny because she's like 22, 23 years old, and the whole world is watching her.
[03:31]
West Wilson
Yeah.
[03:31]
Sophie Cunningham
Like, it is a cult following. I'm not kidding.
[03:34]
West Wilson
No, it's wild. The airport today, Insane. It was like, 22 everywhere.
[03:39]
Sophie Cunningham
Anywhere you go. Like, it is a home game wherever we play. Like, she security with her 24, 7. Like, people are outrageous. Like, think of the most famous person that you know or met times of I 10, 20. It's insane.
[03:51]
West Wilson
I mean, she had like, a list celebs in Iowa City, Iowa, to watch. Iowa.
[03:55]
Sophie Cunningham
Exactly. In Iowa.
[03:56]
West Wilson
Travis Scott went. My brother went to Iowa. So go Hawks.
[03:59]
Sophie Cunningham
I mean, we're from Missouri, so we. I think we can.
[04:01]
West Wilson
Yeah.
[04:01]
Sophie Cunningham
I mean, I got in trouble for talking. You did. Smack on Detroit. Cincinnati. Or was it Cleveland? It was Cleveland.
[04:07]
West Wilson
And then you try to make it up by talking about. You said you liked Boston.
[04:10]
Sophie Cunningham
I loved Boston. I really do like Boston. I was just saying, if you're going to, like, expand our league, then, like, go put it in Nashville. You know how much fun people would have in Nashville. And then, like, Miami, you're next to the beach. Like, people are going to be excited to go there. I'm not saying that people from Detroit or Cleveland are bad people. People literally took it like that. I'm like, you guys are being freaking Drama.
[04:29]
West Wilson
That's the Internet, though.
[04:30]
Sophie Cunningham
I know.
[04:30]
West Wilson
That's how the Internet works.
[04:31]
Sophie Cunningham
You know, a little bit. Something about That I do.
[04:34]
West Wilson
But I. I think it's also ironic that we'll speak. Caitlin Clark plays for the Indiana Fever.
[04:41]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah.
[04:42]
West Wilson
Which I don't know if a lot of people would consider Indiana to be the biggest, but I mean, it is now.
[04:47]
Sophie Cunningham
It is.
[04:48]
West Wilson
Wouldn't you say?
[04:48]
Sophie Cunningham
Because of her, Literally. Yeah, but we, you know, we love the Midwest. We love where we're from.
[04:53]
West Wilson
What's playing with Caitlyn been like, for you? Like, what's something her as a teammate? Like, not something that's like, on espn.
[05:00]
Sophie Cunningham
But, dude, she's just goofy.
[05:02]
West Wilson
Yeah.
[05:02]
Sophie Cunningham
Like, she's goofy and like, I think that's the. Everyone expects her to be a certain way and she is on the court, but, like, she is just. She's a. She's low key. A kid. Like, she's 23 years old. Like, she's like my little cousin. You know what I mean? And so it's been fun just to kind of like, see where she's had in her career, whatnot. But I promise you, she's like, so chill. She doesn't care. She's always in sweats, in a sweatshirt. Like, she. She literally does not care because her.
[05:25]
West Wilson
Game made, like, change the way you play made you better.
[05:29]
Sophie Cunningham
Well, I just think that, like, the style of basketball is like, more of an O motion offense, which is, like, right up my alley. For someone who cuts and can shoot the ball like that. I am freaking licking my chops every single game she plays. Because when she draws so much attention, dude, cutting, shooting, like, duh. So, like, yes, of course. But I think she's the type of player who makes everyone player or everyone better. Who's everyone player?
[05:53]
West Wilson
It's okay.
[05:54]
Sophie Cunningham
We need to talk about how we always knew you were going to be famous, but we just didn't know how or when. Yeah, because you were like, big man on campus.
[06:02]
West Wilson
NFL didn't work out. Damn it.
[06:05]
Sophie Cunningham
But you were a star in high school football.
[06:07]

No, for real. Especially for a white boy. Come on, say less. Dude, let's go.
[06:14]
West Wilson
Cooper Dean just got put in the top 100 NFL players. Did you see that? He's the white cornerback from.
[06:20]
Sophie Cunningham
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Are you comparing yourself to him?
[06:24]
West Wilson
No, no. But no one. There hasn't been a white cornerback in, like 20 years. And he's like, just crushing. Well, it's kind of crazy.
[06:32]
Sophie Cunningham
Good for him.
[06:33]
West Wilson
High school. I was in student council, too. People don't know that. So were you? No.
[06:37]

[06:50]
West Wilson
Farm parties.
[06:51]
Sophie Cunningham
Yes. Dude.
[06:52]
West Wilson
Yeah. I'm surprised. My dad actually let me throw two of them.
[06:56]
Sophie Cunningham
I know. And I had to go home with your dad and you. The one time the cops got calls came because he's like, scatter you with me? I was like, oh, what did I do?
[07:06]
West Wilson
Someone called it in and we still don't know. I think I know who did, but.
[07:09]
Sophie Cunningham
Because they weren't invited, which I wasn't.
[07:12]
West Wilson
I'm not the type to like, not invite people to parties.
[07:15]
Sophie Cunningham
No.
[07:15]
West Wilson
I consider myself inclusive. But it was. No, because it was that. This is actually crazy that our high school had a club called Sigma Gamma. Remember?
[07:23]
Sophie Cunningham
That was dumb as hell, but it.
[07:25]
West Wilson
Was for those girls that like through parties. No, it's. I think it's dumb.
[07:30]
Sophie Cunningham
I wasn't a part of the. Part of that I wasn't cool enough. But I was busy winning state championships. Look at me now. True.
[07:37]
West Wilson
So true. Instead of drinking.
[07:40]
Sophie Cunningham
No, I was.
[07:40]
West Wilson
No, I know you're drinking. Those were awesome. Andy Turner probably is who I think of when we think of farm parties.
[07:48]
Sophie Cunningham
Okay, so let's like clue them in a little bit. Farm parties were from Missouri. And so like in the city we would have like house parties and whatnot. But they'd always get busted.
[07:56]
West Wilson
Yeah.
[07:57]
Sophie Cunningham
So.
[07:57]
West Wilson
And they're hot.
[07:58]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah, they were. They were just like too many people down in the basement. And so we'd go out to people who had a bunch of land and they were farm parties and they were the most fun. The Evans. Remember? Yeah, Evans.
[08:09]
West Wilson
Andy, he tried to. Josh Evans tried to fight me one time at his. At his barn.
[08:13]
Sophie Cunningham
Tell us more.
[08:14]
West Wilson
I was te. I like texted n. He was dating Natalie Heim.
[08:17]
Sophie Cunningham
Oh yeah. Oh my God.
[08:19]
West Wilson
Yeah. And I texted her like he definitely has a type up or something. And he got so mad. And I. I played it like nonchalant. I was like, dude, chill out.
[08:30]
Sophie Cunningham
That's stupidest story I've ever heard.
[08:34]
West Wilson
Andy Turner. Big farm parties. Andy's was like an hour away. And people would, dude, find dds.
[08:39]
Sophie Cunningham
So fun key. Yes.
[08:41]
West Wilson
And then just roll out for an hour to a. To a barn.
[08:45]
Sophie Cunningham
Well, I remember Audrey and I, we were out there one time, multiple times. But there was one specific time. And we were like out there till like 3am got up on a table and broke that really big wooden table because us two got up there dancing.
[08:57]
West Wilson
One time he, he wanted to kick people out and he fired a shotgun into the air.
[09:00]
Sophie Cunningham
Dude. I was there.
[09:02]
West Wilson
Yeah.
[09:03]
Sophie Cunningham
And I, I, I knew that he was about to do that, but I didn't think he was actually going to do for us. Get people out of your party. You shoot a shotgun in the air legally. Yeah. Okay. But back to you. Seriously. We always knew that you were going to be famous, and now you're on freaking Bravo for Summer House. How did that even come about?
[09:21]
West Wilson
I don't even know. Like, I didn't even really know what Bravo was or. And you watch. Do you watch Summer House or other stuff?
[09:28]
Sophie Cunningham
No, I, well, so, like, growing up, I would watch different shows, but I didn't know it was with Bravo. I only really started watching Bravo, and I didn't even know what Summer House was until you were on it.
[09:36]
West Wilson
I mean, me, like, literally didn't either.
[09:38]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah.
[09:40]
West Wilson

[09:46]
West Wilson
It was awesome.
[09:46]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah.
[09:47]
West Wilson
Everything was, Everything was great. And then one day.
[09:51]
Sophie Cunningham
Why did you get laid off?
[09:53]
West Wilson
They laid off a lot of people.
[09:55]
Sophie Cunningham
But, I mean, what girl did you text this time?
[09:56]

[10:05]
Sophie Cunningham

[10:12]
Sophie Cunningham
They not cover it.
[10:13]
West Wilson
They do, but I just mean I would have been an expensive person to, like, keep around.
[10:17]
Sophie Cunningham
Oh.
[10:17]
West Wilson
And if they thought my. They needed less of me, they were like, it would make sense to get rid of me.
[10:22]
Sophie Cunningham
I could see you spending a lot.
[10:24]
West Wilson
Of money at a certain point, especially.
[10:26]
Sophie Cunningham
Once you get drunk.
[10:28]
West Wilson
Not. You can't spend money you can't spend. You can't use your corporate card while you're drinking for the most part. I mean, I did once or twice probably. But it was to a point, though, where I was, like, not live. I, I wasn't even in New York because I was always gone. And I was like, I'm gonna, I'm not gonna, like, order a salad and drink water.
[10:48]

Yeah, that gets cut. So, yeah, I kind of, like, kept that alive for a while and then. Take your moment.
[13:05]
Sophie Cunningham
Oh, my God, I'm sweating.
[13:07]
West Wilson
Oh, yeah, I'm actually doing okay. I'm not good at, like, I'm not good at being vulnerable or. No, no, no. Just your emotions or having beef with people.
[13:18]
Sophie Cunningham
No, I don't really feel like you're a beef type of person, but honestly, you did catch some major beef after season one. Yeah, dude. What have you learned about that? Like, for real? Like, I think it's different when people can meet you in person because I feel like we both can, like, relate to this and, like, everyone has so many things to say about us. But then once they meet you in person, like, oh, you're actually not like that at all. Or like, oh, you're a lot more chill or like, you're a lot more whatever. But, like, you got a lot of slack after season one.
[13:47]
West Wilson
Yeah, dog, I got. I was fucking at war, dude.
[13:52]
Sophie Cunningham
Damage control.
[13:53]
West Wilson
I mean, that was really hard. And I'd never experienced anything like that ever. Yeah, I don't think anyone can be prepared for anything like that.
[14:03]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah.
[14:04]
West Wilson
You would be dumb, though, one, to not look in the mirror and, like, it's such a crazy situation that, like. And obviously there's so many people who have opinions that, like, you shouldn't ignore everything. Like, if a lot of people are upset with you, there's probably a reason.
[14:19]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah. But it's also reality tv, so you don't know what was cut, what was actually said, what the actual relationship was.
[14:25]
West Wilson
Yeah.
[14:25]
Sophie Cunningham
So I was trying to give you, like, the benefit of the doubt.
[14:27]
West Wilson
Yeah.
[14:28]
Sophie Cunningham
There are some things, but, like, no one's perfect, so you're fine.
[14:31]
West Wilson
Right. But I just think the Internet is, like, a dangerous spot. But that was honestly, I think, good for me in the sense that it was so intense.
[14:40]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah.
[14:40]
West Wilson
The first year I did it.
[14:41]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah.
[14:42]
West Wilson
I don't think it's really gonna ever be like that ever again.
[14:44]
Sophie Cunningham
So you feel like season two was much more. What, what was the vibe of season two? I enjoyed season two.
[14:49]
West Wilson
Just chilling.
[14:50]
Sophie Cunningham
Really.
[14:50]
West Wilson
Yeah. I just mean it was such a. The highs and lows of my first for sure year doing it were so crazy that here we are.
[14:59]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah.
[14:59]
West Wilson
I will say, though, I've been doing on the Internet, though, for a while, so I've. I kind of have, like, seen how the Internet works. And, like, it's not the first time someone has, like, said something mean. You know what I mean?
[15:11]
Sophie Cunningham
No, for sure.
[15:11]
West Wilson
So we're good.
[15:12]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah.
[15:14]
West Wilson
Yeah. I don't get fined, though.
[15:16]
Sophie Cunningham
I do.
[15:17]
West Wilson
I know.
[15:18]
Sophie Cunningham
But I also blow up on the Internet because I fought someone, so.
[15:22]
West Wilson
Which is so sick.
[15:23]
Sophie Cunningham
Honestly. It is funny. It is funny because in good, in.
[15:27]
West Wilson
Like, for good reason.
[15:28]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah.
[15:29]
West Wilson
Well, wasn't she.
[15:31]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah. Let me just tell people the story real quick from. Because I don't think I've gotten to really tell my point of view of things. Yeah. Is like, you, you have seen players in our league try to, like, toughen up Caitlyn. We call her Cece. Cece. For even when I wasn't on her team. Like, I, I, I like, I know the talks that Phoenix had in the locker room of, like, no, we're going to Prove her. We're going to show her what the W really is. You know what I mean? And, like, I get it to a certain extent, and like, every rookie coming into the league, that's how you're going to treat them, but there's just more for her. So it's her second year, and, like, now being on her team and, like, seeing it, I'm like, what are people doing? Like, actually just. It's just too much. Too much. And, like, you're. It's just. I'm over. And if I'm saying it's too much, then it's probably too much.
[16:15]
West Wilson
No, that's.
[16:16]
Sophie Cunningham
So, like, that's fair, right?
[16:17]
West Wilson
Yeah.
[16:18]
Sophie Cunningham
And so we were playing Connecticut, and, like, there's just one thing after another.
[16:22]
West Wilson
And, like, did you all have a little beef before the game? No, there was none.
[16:25]
Sophie Cunningham
No. Like, oh, actually, the girl who I did do that to, she did chip my tooth, but I wasn't worried about.
[16:30]
West Wilson
In a different game.
[16:31]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah, the. The game before. So we play them all, like, four times the first time we played them, and she didn't mean to do it, but, like, she. She. Bro, chip my tooth.
[16:40]
West Wilson
You already got it fixed.
[16:41]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah.
[16:41]
West Wilson
Smile. Yeah. Look, I can't even tell. Can you tell?
[16:44]
Sophie Cunningham
Thank you. Yeah, you can. It's a little discolored.
[16:46]
West Wilson
Discolored?
[16:47]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah, a little bit. But just.
[16:48]
West Wilson
What part of her body chipped your tooth?
[16:49]
Sophie Cunningham
Well, actually, I'll. I'll show you guys the picture, but it, like, we, like, literally cracked teeth in the middle of a game. It's like face to face. It's like, ow. Yeah.
[16:59]
West Wilson
They know her mouthpiece is.
[17:01]
Sophie Cunningham
I kiss. Stop kidding. I hated it. No, no, I don't wear a mouthpiece.
[17:07]
West Wilson
Steph Curry does.
[17:08]
Sophie Cunningham
I don't. Okay. No. So anyway, so there. But I didn't care. Like, that wasn't why that happened. You know what I mean? And so.
[17:15]
West Wilson
But is there any substance in that? It set the tone that this was going to be a little physical matchup, possibly.
[17:20]
Sophie Cunningham
That game in general, there was just like. There's a couple players on their team that are just do. Do a little bit extra stuff, like just chippy talking, like you're. You're a professional athlete. Like, that's what happens. Right.
[17:31]
West Wilson
I feel like you see it more because you. They people act like this towards.
[17:34]
Sophie Cunningham
Yes, a thousand percent.
[17:36]
West Wilson
That would get annoying.
[17:36]
Sophie Cunningham
Oh, it is. Yeah. And so. So I finally, like, this was like, we're like 14 games in, and so, like, that game, I just thought I was kind of hungry. I know I was A little tired. Like, I'm not even gonna lie to you. I was hungry and tired, and I was over people's shit.
[17:49]
West Wilson
Oh, that's awesome.
[17:52]
Sophie Cunningham
So in the. In the first half, the rest didn't call. Someone should have been thrown out.
[17:56]
West Wilson
I.
[17:57]
Sophie Cunningham
And the rest did not call it correct.
[17:58]
West Wilson
I remember that.
[17:59]
Sophie Cunningham
They didn't. And so I was like, she got full body check. Three people. Yeah, like two people. They're like, oh, it's fine. I'm like, if that was anyone else, you would have. I would have been booted out the game. I know that for sure. A little sassy, but, like, so are they.
[18:11]
West Wilson
Your leash is shorter, though, because they literally.
[18:13]
Sophie Cunningham
I. I don't even have a leash. I just have a freaking collar and a hand on it. Anyway, so there was like 45 seconds left. The girl stole the ball, and I was running back, and I was like, we're up. I don't need to foul. And I was like, just let her go. And I was like, all right. Like, who cares? Last second intrusive thoughts. I was like, it.
[18:32]
West Wilson
Yeah.
[18:33]
Sophie Cunningham
And I, like, at first, I just tried to, like, hold her and, like, put her. Like, just let me explain. I know what it looked like. I. I got her. But at the very end, and I'm not saying this is what caused it, but she dipped a little bit. Like, she was. But she did dip. And then. Right. Myself, like, oh, like, my bad. Not really my bad. And then they. At me. I was like, it come.
[18:51]
West Wilson
Did you get fined for that?
[18:54]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah, like, $900, which, like, our fines are a joke.
[18:57]
West Wilson
The coolest part about that fight is that your face, I didn't care. Was stone cold, dude.
[19:03]
Sophie Cunningham
But that's what I'm saying.
[19:04]
West Wilson
It was so sick. It was so sick.
[19:06]
Sophie Cunningham
People legit are like, oh, she. It's all.
[19:09]
West Wilson
I'm like, dude, that was real. You had her.
[19:12]
Sophie Cunningham
Like, I didn't even have her by the hair. I want because I feel like girls are kind of like, it's always hair. It's always hair. I'm like, my mom, Paula, she's always like, if you're going to do something, don't be catty. Don't. Don't go the hair. Like, you better. If you're going to do it, do it.
[19:26]
West Wilson
She saying, it's, like, cheap.
[19:27]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah. Yeah. And so I grabbed her by the neck, But I was calm, cool, and collected. Like, I knew. I was like, if you're going to do something to her, then do it.
[19:33]
West Wilson
And you got tossed in as two on one. Yeah, I Got tossed, did she?
[19:37]
Sophie Cunningham

No, no, no, I. No, I.
[21:34]
West Wilson
Before the fight.

Sophie Cunningham
Before the fight. And then I had like 350 on a hundred thousand on Instagram. Over. Over the night or over like a day and a half? Over a million on both. Insane. I. This is coming for me, though, dude. I got tired of seeing myself.
[21:50]

And I love myself.
[21:52]
West Wilson
I get it.
[21:52]
Sophie Cunningham
I love myself. I was over it. I was like, get this, bitch. Off my screen.
[21:57]
West Wilson
Fan edits are sick though, because there's like, like music and it's like, it's just so tight.
[22:01]
Sophie Cunningham
Oh, yeah, but then you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, yeah, I definitely say that's my moment, which is like, I've worked my whole life to become a WNBA basketball player and now people know me as wwe.
[22:15]
West Wilson
Wwe? Yeah. Fighter. Oh, I didn't know that that was so recent because I saw you had a milli on Tick Tock today.
[22:22]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah, no, it, like, blew up overnight.
[22:26]
West Wilson
I mean, that's awesome though.
[22:27]
Sophie Cunningham
Who knew that me, like, being my natural, feisty, sassy self would put me where God wanted me?
[22:32]
West Wilson
Do you get any fights in college?
[22:34]
Sophie Cunningham
No, dude. I mean, I was chippy.
[22:35]
West Wilson
Yeah.
[22:35]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah, I was definitely chippy.
[22:37]
West Wilson
Yeah. Yeah.
[22:37]
Sophie Cunningham
But like, I also don't think I.
[22:40]
West Wilson
Retweeted a bunch of. In your defense, someone was like, someone, someone, quote, tweeted the fight and was like, you're going to try and fight like some. A country girl from Missouri. Like, you're going to lose 10 or 10 times.
[22:54]
Sophie Cunningham
And I was like, damn, bomb strong, baby.
[22:57]
West Wilson
Well, yeah, I don't have a million followers anywhere, so congrats to you. That's sweet.
[23:02]
Sophie Cunningham
Thank you.
[23:03]
West Wilson
That's awesome. Have you. When you post now, I knew you.
[23:06]
Sophie Cunningham
Were gonna say something like this.
[23:07]
West Wilson
Well, are the people that, like, weird as hell?
[23:09]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah, but keep going.
[23:10]
West Wilson
Well, do you have. Is it. Is it a lot of women or do you ever get like, thirsty guys? Is it thirsty guys?
[23:15]
Sophie Cunningham
It's all old thirsty guys.
[23:18]
West Wilson
I didn't want it to be that, but of course, duh.
[23:21]
Sophie Cunningham
But it's funny because I have so many people like, oh, like, how do you feel? Like, what? I'm like, dude, I'm still like the biggest dork and dweeb you will ever.
[23:28]
West Wilson
Be in your life.
[23:29]
Sophie Cunningham
Like, now I just have.
[23:31]
West Wilson
Oh, I find it offensive. Someone says, like, have you changed? I'm like, what? Like, wait, in what way?
[23:38]
Sophie Cunningham
Maybe my bank account.
[23:41]
West Wilson
Yeah. Shout out Arby's.
[23:44]
Sophie Cunningham
I should have brought you some roast beef.
[23:46]
West Wilson
Yeah. Have you been an Arby's person before?
[23:48]
Sophie Cunningham
Dude, I love Arby's.
[23:49]
West Wilson
Really?
[23:51]
Sophie Cunningham
I do love Arby's. I'm not even kidding.
[23:53]
West Wilson
No, you can love Arby's.
[23:54]
Sophie Cunningham
I know. It's the sauce. That's the sauce.
[23:57]
West Wilson
We used to go there and then it just got a bad rap. I haven't been. But have you been a Lion's Choice in St. Louis?
[24:02]
Sophie Cunningham
We used to have one in Columbia. Yes, yes. But they got rid of it.
[24:07]
West Wilson
Thinly sliced Roast beef. But their shit's like, not like nationally manufactured like an Arby's would be.
[24:13]
Sophie Cunningham
No, Arby's is. I get their sliders. Arby's sliders are banging.
[24:16]
West Wilson
Is it roast beef?
[24:17]
Sophie Cunningham
You can do roast beef, ham and cheese. There's like a buffalo chicken.
[24:20]
West Wilson
And you do a curly fry, obviously.
[24:23]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah, it shakes too.
[24:24]
West Wilson
Do any. Do you know any other hot girls who like Arby's besides you?
[24:28]
Sophie Cunningham
Damn. The only hot girl that I know so far.
[24:31]
West Wilson
But I would wear the hot dudes or mediocre dudes, whatever the.
[24:34]
Sophie Cunningham
You could just wear a hot girls.
[24:37]
West Wilson
Can you give me like an xl, dude? Yeah, or double.
[24:39]
Sophie Cunningham
And they'll do you like a little crop top. Oh, God.
[24:43]
West Wilson
What? No.
[24:44]
Sophie Cunningham
What. What are you.
[24:45]
West Wilson
I've just been. I've been wearing shorter shirts recently. I think it looks good for my portions. I'm not like that tall, but.
[24:55]
Sophie Cunningham
What do you mean? Shorter shorts or shorter shirts?
[24:59]
West Wilson
Like, it makes your legs look long. I like a baggy shirt. Yeah, like a boxy fit.
[25:03]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah.
[25:04]
West Wilson
But if I want to get like a double xl, sometimes it's a little long. Oh, so I'll just crop it.
[25:09]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Oh, just. I thought you meant, like, what I would wear.
[25:13]
West Wilson
No, but I did do that for a photo shoot last summer and people thought it was cool. It was me eating hot dogs with a shirt that said all dogs go to heaven. I was on the beach and it was sick.
[25:24]
Sophie Cunningham
Dude, let's talk about this though, because I feel like this is such a thing for. I know the league. And now I think you're becoming a little fashionista icon.
[25:35]
West Wilson
I gotta get you a bandana, dude.
[25:37]
Sophie Cunningham
I need one. I want to wear it in the tunnel. Fit.
[25:40]
West Wilson
Oh my God.
[25:41]
Sophie Cunningham
I'm not kidding.
[25:42]
West Wilson
No, no, I'll. I'll make that happen.
[25:43]
Sophie Cunningham
Please tell me where that came from, cuz it's awful. But it's turned good.
[25:48]
West Wilson
Yeah. Okay, thanks. It is funny though, how the Internet works. Were like the. Whenever that I wore that in an episode. Episode aired first two days.
[25:58]
Sophie Cunningham
First season.
[25:58]
West Wilson
No, this past one.
[26:00]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah.
[26:00]
West Wilson
And everyone's like, who. Who does he think he is? Like, he's not. Asap, Rocky. Like he's stupid.
[26:06]
Sophie Cunningham
Don't you love how it grinds people's gears?
[26:07]
West Wilson
But then you. You sit on it a little and then someone wears it and tags you. And then it like, keeps going. And then it became like, dude, it's a thing. And then people were like, claiming that I started it. I've never claimed to Started the you know what? Swag.
[26:24]
Sophie Cunningham
But when I was watching that episode, I was like, to me. But see, I'm like, I'm like, I'm. I'm never surprised at what you wear.
[26:30]
West Wilson
You know what I paired it with?
[26:30]
Sophie Cunningham
What?
[26:31]
West Wilson
A Hallie Kearns T shirt?
[26:35]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah, I do. But just like shout out. Yeah, but I'm just saying, like, I'm never not shocked anymore with what you're wearing.
[26:43]
West Wilson
That's. That's the hardest hurdle with fashion that you have to do is get to the point where like, people know you'll do weird shit and then they receive it. Well, if you dress fudge normal and then try something, people like it.
[26:55]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah.
[26:55]
West Wilson
But if you've already kind of like dip your toes. Dip your toes.
[26:58]
Sophie Cunningham
But can I be honest? I feel like you living in New York, people, people just crazy New York. Yeah. So you can. Anything flies. But like here in Indiana, if I were to do that, they'd be like, what the are you wearing? And I'm like, I don't know. You're right.
[27:11]
West Wilson
But you still can though, because you're. What you're wearing to a game is going to be like, there's a TV camera by you. So it like works.
[27:17]
Sophie Cunningham
No, yeah, for sure. But I'm just saying, like, you could wear stuff like street style. You could wear that. And if I wore that street style, like probably anywhere, people would be like, no.
[27:26]
West Wilson
I will say though, as a. I'm going to say six foot. I'm going to, I'm going to say now.
[27:32]
Sophie Cunningham
Okay. Everyone knows it's like five, ten and a half. 511. All females know what program height my senior is when it comes to heights. Exactly. When it comes to height. Minus two inches. Okay. Minimum.
[27:44]
West Wilson
That's fine. It. I'll say 5 11.
[27:48]
Sophie Cunningham
Is that actually it?
[27:49]
West Wilson
Yeah, no, it is.
[27:51]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah.
[27:54]
West Wilson
With Tim's, I'm pushing 6, 2. If I were Tim's.
[27:57]
Sophie Cunningham
Okay, that's not bad.
[27:58]
West Wilson
But it's like a pretty generic looking average height, like white dude.
[28:05]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah.
[28:05]
West Wilson
I, I had to kind of like, like get there, you know?
[28:10]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah.
[28:13]
West Wilson
But I was gonna ask you, whenever you wear like a tunnel fit and then people are like, oh, Sophie's hot. So if you like where she's like a fashion tunnel fit chick, are there ever days where you're like, I want to just not wear makeup more sweats.
[28:25]
Sophie Cunningham
To the game every day west.
[28:27]
West Wilson
And. But can you.
[28:28]
Sophie Cunningham
I mean, I can, but I also know like, that's like the fun part of it too.
[28:31]
West Wilson
Yeah.
[28:32]
Sophie Cunningham
But I, I will say like I do still wear sweats and a sweatshirt, but, like, I don't. That's like, more on the roadway games, but, like, home games. I'm always going to be dressing up in, like, LA, NY, Chicago, all, like, the kind of more fun cities. Like, you're gonna dress up, but interesting. Yeah. So there's like, a method to my madness. I wish. I wish that I had the energy to dress up all the time.
[28:55]
West Wilson
No, I wouldn't, but. Because you have to play a game.
[28:58]
Sophie Cunningham
And I don't care. I don't care enough. I think that's my issue.
[29:02]
West Wilson
Yeah, but you do care on certain days.
[29:04]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah. If I've had enough sleep.
[29:06]
West Wilson
Right.
[29:06]
Sophie Cunningham
But that doesn't happen every time. No.
[29:09]
West Wilson
How. How many days advanced are they planned out?
[29:11]
Sophie Cunningham
Well, I. Maybe.
[29:14]
West Wilson
Would you say I believe you had a stylist or not?
[29:16]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah, I do have a stylist, but I only use her for certain things. Things.
[29:20]
West Wilson
Yeah.
[29:20]
Sophie Cunningham
And, like, there's. I think you would definitely tell when I have a stylus and when I don't.
[29:25]
West Wilson
Not the Arby's T shirt.
[29:26]
Sophie Cunningham
That was all me.
[29:27]
West Wilson
I know. Yeah.
[29:30]
Sophie Cunningham
That was pretty simple.
[29:31]
West Wilson
Yeah, it was easy.
[29:32]
Sophie Cunningham
But I did ask her. I was like, should I go gray shorts or black shorts?
[29:34]
West Wilson
Thanks.
[29:35]
Sophie Cunningham
And then black was the hit.
[29:36]
West Wilson
And then Venmo to fucking thousand bucks.
[29:38]
Sophie Cunningham
Probably like 5,000. Oh, do you have a stylist?
[29:44]
West Wilson
I've gotten help before.
[29:45]
Sophie Cunningham
Go ahead.
[29:46]
West Wilson
No, I do. She's.
[29:47]
Sophie Cunningham
You need a lot of help.
[29:48]
West Wilson
For me, it's more like. It's like, time.
[29:51]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah. You know, and I hate shopping. I actually hate shopping.
[29:54]
West Wilson
That she also, like. I think she gets me and knows that we can, like, do weird shit here and there, and we'll, like, come up with something together.
[30:02]
Sophie Cunningham
Feel that. Feel that.
[30:04]
West Wilson
I've seen, and I'm not gonna name names, but I've seen stylists work with people, and it's just like, here's eight shirts. FaceTime me before you go to dinner, and let's choose, like, what colored pants. And it's like, stupid.
[30:15]
Sophie Cunningham
No, I. I want, like, I can do that. I can be. I can be the stupid, but I need someone to actually make me look good.
[30:21]
West Wilson
Yeah.
[30:22]
Sophie Cunningham
To. For real.
[30:23]
West Wilson
But. And get the.
[30:24]
Sophie Cunningham
Well, yeah. Yeah. Do you have, like, weird. Okay, let's talk about this. Is there. Do you feel like your body type is weird? That, like, you can't pull certain things off, even though it looks good on other people, but you try it and it's like that?
[30:36]
West Wilson
Definitely. I've heard 9, 000 women say that to me when I'm like. They're all like pretty girls who like are normal looking but like I can't wear T shirts because of my body.
[30:47]
Sophie Cunningham
Let me guess. They look like this. They're twig.
[30:49]
West Wilson
Yeah, they're all fake tits. They're all great.
[30:50]
Sophie Cunningham
That's all the girls you hang out with.
[30:52]
West Wilson
No, that's not true. Anyway, the one I'm thinking of does not have fake tits.
[30:55]
Sophie Cunningham
Oh, the only one.
[30:57]
West Wilson
No. New York's not a fake. Boobs titty.
[30:59]
Sophie Cunningham
You tend to find them.
[31:01]
West Wilson
I think you're thinking of not New York. Do you know where there's a lot of fake tits? The lake of the Ozarks.
[31:09]
Sophie Cunningham
Oh yeah.
[31:09]
West Wilson
Way more than New York.
[31:10]
Sophie Cunningham
Show me baby.
[31:12]
West Wilson
I again because I have this show me tattoo on me. I've shown it to multiple people and they go, does that mean like show me your tits? I'm like, dude, come on.
[31:20]
Sophie Cunningham
You might out of the gutter. But maybe.
[31:21]
West Wilson
Yeah, but are you gonna. But are you thinking how much have.
[31:24]
Sophie Cunningham
We had to drink?
[31:25]
West Wilson
Are you thinking about it? Okay, we're talking about T shirts, boobs, off topic. Oh, but if things fit. No, I try not to wear like I don't know. But like that's what I said about the shirt. Like I, I cut it to make my legs look longer.
[31:43]
Sophie Cunningham
Okay, but like if you're interviewing a Tom Brady, right, like for complex, you got interview Patrick Mahomes. Like what, what are you. Are you like stylists need you? Are you like.
[31:52]
West Wilson
No, he's going to do this for those. It's more cuz like the person there is cool. So I don't need to like do something like to make it, make it about me.
[32:01]
Sophie Cunningham
But like the summer house premiere then.
[32:04]
West Wilson
Actually, may I say. Yeah, summer house premiere last year, full outfit, just me. Yeah, but there are a lot of other things. Like you know how we do on the show. They're like the green screen thing.
[32:16]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah.
[32:16]
West Wilson
I felt really sad. Yeah, those are like people will screenshot those and people be like rank this confessional look like blah blah blah. So you kind of gotta like, dude.
[32:28]
Sophie Cunningham
I can't wait for us to start judging my outfits when NBA comes around. I cannot wait to judge those guys outfits. I'm not kidding. That's like one of my. Because some of them are so. They're swagging, they look good. Others I'm like so bad.
[32:41]
West Wilson
I.
[32:41]
Sophie Cunningham
You make 200 million. Why are you wearing that?
[32:43]
West Wilson
Yeah. Oh, I always think about Kyle Kuzma with the arm sleeves.
[32:46]
Sophie Cunningham
Literally where My head went, yeah, he.
[32:49]
West Wilson
Also did that one time and had, like. He dropped, like, five points or something. And everyone was like, dude, you can't show up like that and then. Yeah, drop five.
[32:56]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah. No, I feel that.
[32:58]
West Wilson
Who is a. Who is like a WNBA pioneer for fashion in your eyes?
[33:02]
Sophie Cunningham
Well, I think this last rookie class had a lot of, like. Well, they had a huge freaking platform in college, and so all these brands went after them. So.
[33:11]
West Wilson
Right.
[33:11]
Sophie Cunningham
I think of, like, Rekia Jackson, right? You have Cameron Brink, who is, like, literally stunning, and you could throw a trash bag on her, and she rocks it.
[33:19]
West Wilson
You know, I interviewed Complex, actually. Flage.
[33:22]
Sophie Cunningham
Oh, yeah. Still in college. I've never actually met her, but she's spaghetti. Little girl.
[33:26]
West Wilson
She. She, like, likes rapping just as much as hooping.
[33:30]
Sophie Cunningham
Dude, she is a rapper.
[33:31]
West Wilson
No, she is. I know.
[33:32]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah.
[33:32]
West Wilson
We, like, filmed a music video, like, in our studio.
[33:34]
Sophie Cunningham
Were you in a music video?
[33:35]
West Wilson
No, I was. I was, like, helping film it. We were, like, throwing cash, like, above. It was like. Yeah, like, twerking or anything. She was, like, the star.
[33:47]
Sophie Cunningham
But. All good.
[33:48]
West Wilson
To clarify, hold on.
[33:49]
Sophie Cunningham
Were you. Are we allowed to talk about you being with Alex Earl?
[33:53]
West Wilson
You can if you want to.
[33:55]
Sophie Cunningham
I do. I'm curious. I saw in your story that you were with her.
[33:58]
West Wilson
Yeah.
[33:59]
Sophie Cunningham
What was that?
[34:00]
West Wilson
The day was. Well, for me, not underwhelming, but, like, she had, like, a little Airbnb. She's got, like, a beverage that she was, like, promoting.
[34:08]
Sophie Cunningham
Was it good?
[34:09]
West Wilson
It was fine.
[34:10]
Sophie Cunningham
I meant the beverage.
[34:13]
West Wilson
Yeah. I don't even know if I had any. And so there's this place in Montauk, Surf Lodge.
[34:19]
Sophie Cunningham
Okay.
[34:19]
West Wilson
It's, like, kind of sceney, probably. Probably overpriced. I'm sure tables and shit are, like, overpriced, really? But it's just, like. It's, like, on the water, there's always, like, a famous dj. Like, it's. It's cool. Like, if you're there, you should go.
[34:35]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah. Was it fun, though? Like, was the party fun? Like, here's my thing about social media that always gets me is, like, we blow all these people up. Time. We blow all these people up. Or we. We sh. We show who we're with and what we're doing. But, like, is it really that fun? Are they really that cool? Do you kind of get what I'm saying? Of course. Of course.
[34:57]
West Wilson
There's, like. That's, like, half of everything. Like, I'm afraid we do. I don't know. I've posted that looked cool and I, like, didn't have fun.
[35:06]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah.
[35:06]
West Wilson
However, though, I typically am, like, gonna, like, have fun.
[35:09]
Sophie Cunningham
No. I feel like we always find, like, the positive enjoy and, like, fun and everything we do.
[35:13]
West Wilson
I will say, though, once it becomes a part of, like, this is, like, what gets scary, though, is when it becomes a part of your income.
[35:20]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah. Then you have to.
[35:21]
West Wilson
Well, there's a lot of motive to fake it.
[35:25]
Sophie Cunningham
Yes.
[35:25]
West Wilson
You know?
[35:25]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah, yeah. Fake till you make it.
[35:28]
West Wilson
And so that's a thing. Like, I think I. I'm, like, 99. Sure. There are girls in New York and probably dudes who, like, fake post stuff as if it's an advertisement on their Instagram so that it seems as if a brand gave them that or paid.
[35:49]
Sophie Cunningham
Them to post it.
[35:50]
West Wilson
And I'm not. I don't know that to be a fact, but I've just been like, dude.
[35:53]
Sophie Cunningham
I know exactly what you're talking about. But that's like, be you. But my biggest thing is, like, if you want to be somebody, be you. Like, whatever you are, be yourself, because.
[36:02]
West Wilson
Everyone else is already taken.
[36:03]
Sophie Cunningham
Oh, did you make that up?
[36:05]
West Wilson
I think it's.
[36:06]
Sophie Cunningham
Are you sweating, James Joyce?
[36:08]
West Wilson
Yeah, I'm gonna be. Get used to me, dog. Yeah.
[36:11]
Sophie Cunningham
Okay. Speaking of sweating, which I think is so funny because, like, that's just you.
[36:16]
West Wilson
I know.
[36:17]
Sophie Cunningham
Please tell me about when the AC broke, dude.
[36:19]
West Wilson
Okay. The problem is because I'm a sweater, too. Yeah.
[36:24]
Sophie Cunningham
Like, my feet. So bad.
[36:26]
West Wilson
Do they.
[36:27]
Sophie Cunningham
So bad.
[36:30]
West Wilson
I'm not even a foot guy.
[36:31]
Sophie Cunningham
Okay.
[36:32]
West Wilson
I'm saying I'm not a foot guy. There's no threat.
[36:34]
Sophie Cunningham
Put your finger in there. No, I don't have socks on, dude.
[36:41]
West Wilson
Not even that bad.
[36:42]
Sophie Cunningham
Maybe don't smell.
[36:43]
West Wilson
Thought you thought. That's what you said.
[36:46]
Sophie Cunningham
I mean, they don't smell so good, but.
[36:49]
West Wilson
Yeah.
[36:49]
Sophie Cunningham
I had these shoes for, like, an. For a year, and they smell like that. That's not bad.
[36:53]
West Wilson
You're fine.
[36:53]
Sophie Cunningham
Thanks.
[36:54]
West Wilson
Just a lot worse. Weirdly, the only time that I really feel like is going to sound really deep. It's not meant to be.
[37:01]
Sophie Cunningham
It's okay.
[37:02]
West Wilson
Where I feel, like, really comfortable with my sweatiness is like, if I'm playing sports or working out, because that's when I natural. That's when I'm meant to be sweaty. Right. But I am, like, I run hot all the time. When I'm talking, I'm hot. When there's lights, I'm hot.
[37:15]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah.
[37:16]
West Wilson
And I just get warm. Like, I'm a warm guy.
[37:18]
Sophie Cunningham
We're in. The humidity here is wild.
[37:22]
West Wilson
But I mean, I. It's not just like, I'm not even gonna blame this.
[37:25]
Sophie Cunningham
Trying to help you.
[37:26]
West Wilson
I know, I know. I'm not gonna blame the Midwest community. It's just like, who I am.
[37:29]
Sophie Cunningham
Okay.
[37:30]
West Wilson
So, yeah, I got to do. I just hosting NFL Network, which is amazing.
[37:35]
Sophie Cunningham
First of all.
[37:36]
West Wilson
Sick. Yeah. I try to keep it biased and then I sneak in just like little chiefs probably every 10 seconds.
[37:43]
Sophie Cunningham
Big chiefs fans here, if you guys didn't know.
[37:45]
West Wilson
Yeah, fuck off. If you're not, don't watch our show.
[37:49]
Sophie Cunningham
Or listen to it.
[37:50]
West Wilson
Actually, one day I'm gonna. Would you board to get Kansas City WNBA team?
[37:55]
Sophie Cunningham
Dude, I've tried.
[37:56]
West Wilson
It would be so cool.
[37:57]
Sophie Cunningham
I've tried. I've tried. We're working on it. I know, I know. A lot of people are working on it.
[38:03]
West Wilson
Yeah. Anyways, so doing NFL Network and because it's a situation where I would usually be like, pretty warm and like over conscious of how I'm like looking.
[38:12]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah.
[38:13]
West Wilson
I was like, God damn, I am so hot today for some reason. And like I have long hair now, so I can kind of like feel when my hair though.
[38:23]
Sophie Cunningham
I really with the hair. I got you, baby.
[38:25]
West Wilson
I'll take a compliment. And then so we go to second commercial break in the. The tech in my ear was like, sorry, the whole building's air conditioning just broke. We're going to try to figure it out. I was like, what the fuck? So it's like just getting so hot. And they. Everyone I'm with is in a studio in L. A. Shit. And so every commercial break, I'm like patting my whole stomach down, like my head. And I'm just like, dude, I'm going to look like so sloppy. And people on the Internet are already like. I get jokes about how like, sweaty and hot I look all the time. And I was like, I'm just not beating the allegations at all. And then they were like, before we cut back, everyone in LA was like, wes, are you good? Like, what's wrong? And I was like, the interviews out, like, I don't know what to do. Like, I'm so, so wet. Like, whatever. So they made a little joke about it, which I appreciated because then it feels like I'm like just randomly wet now. And then the.
[39:24]
Sophie Cunningham
Stop using wet.
[39:26]
West Wilson
I'm keep doing it.
[39:27]
Sophie Cunningham
I don't like that.
[39:28]
West Wilson
Sorry. Moist.
[39:31]
Sophie Cunningham
I'd rather moist than wet.
[39:32]
West Wilson
Okay.
[39:33]
Sophie Cunningham
I don't like moist either.
[39:34]
West Wilson
I got you. So then the last segment before the show's over, they cut back from commercial. And it's a montage of me when we Were on commercial break patting my stomach down, patting my face down. Like, putting a fan on my face. And they were like. It was a montage of me just, like, wiping myself off. And I was like, there's no. No way, dude.
[39:56]
Sophie Cunningham
But that's why people love you, though. Like, that shit's funny as hell.
[39:59]
West Wilson
I know. They were also, like, really nice and, like, laughing, but, like, of course.
[40:03]
Sophie Cunningham
Okay. But honestly, when. Especially in a studio when it's hot and you do have all the lights and you already have a little bit of pressure of, like, in front of the camera doing stuff, talking, makes me hot. But then you are hot 24 7.
[40:15]
West Wilson
That's true. And I'm hot when I'm sleeping, so it never really stops.
[40:19]
Sophie Cunningham
I don't think it's. It's not the talking. I think it's just your body. Yeah, that's fine.
[40:23]
West Wilson
I've asked my mom about it so many times.
[40:25]
Sophie Cunningham
You know, your mom had my sister's baby, and she's about to have her second baby.
[40:29]
West Wilson
I know, I know.
[40:30]
Sophie Cunningham
So cool.
[40:31]
West Wilson
That part's so awesome. I wasn't. I wouldn't bring it up because that would be not my place, but I'm glad I did.
[40:36]
Sophie Cunningham
I also announced Lindsay's second pregnancy on national television when I. I guess it was supposed to be a secret.
[40:42]
West Wilson
Oh, good work. Oh, so this is nothing. All right, well, thanks for giving us permission, Lindsay. Yeah. So when Sophie becomes an aunt in. What'd you say, three weeks?

[41:01]
Sophie Cunningham
Oh, yeah, receive. Yeah, she was good. I was right there with the camera. Had the angle. Oh, you were in the room, Dude, I was right there next to your mom.
[41:09]
West Wilson
Wait, I've never seen her do it before. Like, the. The birth stuff. Well, I used to joke I wanted.
[41:15]
Sophie Cunningham
Maybe allow you in there.
[41:16]
West Wilson
No.
[41:17]
Sophie Cunningham
Random son.
[41:18]
West Wilson
No one should let me in.
[41:19]
Sophie Cunningham
Maybe Lindsay will next time.
[41:20]
West Wilson
Yeah. Honestly, Podcast while she's giving birth, mom hops in for, like, just one little.
[41:26]
Sophie Cunningham
Let us give birth. Your mom can walk us through my sister's next birth. Wait, I think we're onto something.
[41:33]
West Wilson
Damn.
[41:35]
Sophie Cunningham
I should allow that.
[41:36]
West Wilson
But how do you like being an ant?
[41:38]
Sophie Cunningham
I love it. It's good. It's the best.
[41:39]
West Wilson
Do you feel you could be, like, a good mom? Well, like, right now.
[41:43]
Sophie Cunningham
Would I be a good mom right now?
[41:45]
West Wilson
Like, when you see a kid that's, like, has your bloodline, are you, like, oh, I want Mine.
[41:48]
Sophie Cunningham
Oh, yeah. It gives me baby fever. And then you spend like maybe 30 minutes of when they're not so good and you're like, I'm good. Yeah, I'm thriving, actually.
[41:57]
West Wilson
Yeah, I got you.
[41:58]
Sophie Cunningham
But yeah, I want to be a mom. You want to be a dad eventually.
[42:01]
West Wilson
But I don't picture it at all right now.
[42:03]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
[42:04]
West Wilson
Yeah. Like I think about it in my future. Yes. But when I wake up, no part of me is like.
[42:08]
Sophie Cunningham
Like, I want to have the max mom that I am right now would be my dog. And like a lot of my teammates have dogs. And like I gave my dog to my parents back home because I just couldn't. I don't have time.
[42:20]

[42:21]
Sophie Cunningham
So am I gonna give my.
[42:22]
West Wilson
I mean, you re homed your dog.
[42:24]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah, but he's on the farm and he's thriving.
[42:26]
West Wilson
Okay.
[42:26]
Sophie Cunningham
Like, there's no way he's gonna come back here living in an apartment.
[42:28]
West Wilson
Yeah, yeah, I. I feel the same way.
[42:30]
Sophie Cunningham
He actually just brough dead big old deer leg.
[42:36]
West Wilson

[42:36]
Sophie Cunningham
Back home to my.
[42:38]
West Wilson
To my parents that like makes their year.

Sophie Cunningham

[42:47]
West Wilson
Anyway, fever last night beat sky Shyrak baby. How it go?
[42:53]
Sophie Cunningham
Bink, bink.
[42:54]
West Wilson
How'd you play?
[42:55]
Sophie Cunningham
You know, I've actually been kind of on a heater.
[42:58]
West Wilson
Turn me up. So.
[42:59]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah, turn me up. But last night I was not back down on a cooler.
[43:04]
West Wilson
That's fine. Humbling.
[43:06]
Sophie Cunningham
That's humbling.
[43:07]
West Wilson
You know, can I do you think with see Caitlyn out? Have you had to like, kind of like rise up?
[43:14]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah, I think everyone has had to. She. She does have a pretty good injury. Hopefully she's back soon.
[43:18]
West Wilson
Are you second best shooter after her.
[43:20]
Sophie Cunningham
In your opinion like percentage wise or like efficiency? I guess that's the same thing.
[43:25]
West Wilson
Yeah. Nice. Your coach is like, what.
[43:32]
Sophie Cunningham
In efficiency and percentage wise? I leave both of those categories.
[43:35]
West Wilson
Yeah. No, that's awesome. That's good.
[43:37]
Sophie Cunningham
Same category.

[44:45]
West Wilson
Shooters.
[44:45]
Sophie Cunningham
But I have been shooting the shit.
[44:46]
West Wilson
Out of the ball lately.
[44:47]
Sophie Cunningham
But we all, you know the highs and lows of season. Like, everyone goes through that.
[44:52]
West Wilson
So do we know when she's coming back?
[44:55]
Sophie Cunningham
Honestly? Yeah, her. Yeah. It is recording. But it's such, like a weird injury because she doesn't really. Like, she's not in pain all the time.
[45:06]
West Wilson
Yeah.
[45:06]
Sophie Cunningham
You know what I mean? But then, like, when you do hurt it, it's like, okay, you're out for another. So I think they're trying to be like, extra cautious so she doesn't kind of have those little setbacks.
[45:14]
West Wilson
If we're trying to make a playoff run, I think that's the correct thing.
[45:16]
Sophie Cunningham
Exactly. Like, if we can continue to win without her. Like, also, of course we want her to play, though. Like, I want her to play.
[45:21]
West Wilson
You know what I mean?
[45:22]
Sophie Cunningham
But, like, if we can be successful without her, give her a little bit more break. I think that's gonna be good.
[45:27]
West Wilson
And playoffs are. Win. October.
[45:29]
Sophie Cunningham
September. This year. Yeah, October with Olympic year. But this year.
[45:32]
West Wilson
Oh, got you.
[45:33]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah.
[45:34]
West Wilson
Got you.
[45:34]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah. Yeah.
[45:35]
West Wilson
She didn't play an all star, though.
[45:36]
Sophie Cunningham
She didn't. She was an all star.
[45:38]
West Wilson
Of course. Was she like, on the sideline with them?
[45:41]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah, she. They called her coach.
[45:42]
West Wilson
Coach Clark. Oh, yeah.
[45:43]
Sophie Cunningham
Love. No, Only they did. But I think I'm a part of our pa. Players association. Wnba. Yeah. So I think they're going to be sending out those shirts.
[45:51]
West Wilson
Good.
[45:51]
Sophie Cunningham
So it'll be nice.
[45:52]
West Wilson
But Kelsey Plum with the chirp.
[45:55]
Sophie Cunningham
Why?
[45:55]
West Wilson
I don't know, dude.
[45:56]
Sophie Cunningham
Why?
[45:57]
West Wilson
I always feel like she's always being weird.
[45:59]
Sophie Cunningham
The thing is she's super nice and she's really freaking good at basketball. It's just like, I just think.
[46:05]
West Wilson
And I, you know, way better than me. But like, I. It just feels like people are jealous of this new little wave of.
[46:13]
Sophie Cunningham
They are. But I just hate that because, like, this is what we've always wanted as a league. So, like, who cares who gets the credit? And if you're smart, you're making money off of them.
[46:22]
West Wilson
Yeah.
[46:22]
Sophie Cunningham
Like, you were literally making money from the viewership.
[46:24]
West Wilson
And what she made the chirp was about how she didn't help plan the.
[46:28]
Sophie Cunningham
Who cares? Like, who cares? You know what I mean? Like, I. I just hate when, like, people do stuff to get. It's like clickbait, like, you know, and. And there's so much clickbait, especially surrounding Caitlyn. And so, like, it's just like, just be nice. Like, why can't people just be nice? That's what I don't. I don't. Coming from the girl who I was just seeing.
[46:45]
West Wilson
We just fucking beat someone up.
[46:48]
Sophie Cunningham
Just be nice. It's not that hard.
[46:49]
West Wilson
I agree.
[46:50]
Sophie Cunningham
Damn it.
[46:51]
West Wilson
No, I think that's what. From what I've seen is the outside.
[46:55]
Sophie Cunningham
Like, the outside the discourse.
[46:57]
West Wilson
Why bully the person who is, like, not 100% responsible but, like, has a huge role in growing your sport, dude.
[47:07]
Sophie Cunningham
And it literally, like, pisses me off. And people are like, she's not the face of the league.
[47:12]
West Wilson
Who would be? What? Sabrina? No.
[47:15]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah. No. There's really good, well known people in our league. I'm not. I'm not discrediting them. Like, we have a lot of badasses in our league. Like, hell yeah to that. I'm all for that. But when people try to argue that she's not the face of our league.
[47:26]
West Wilson
Yeah.
[47:27]
Sophie Cunningham
Or if our league would be where we're at without her. You're dumb as.
[47:31]
West Wilson
Yeah.
[47:31]
Sophie Cunningham
You're literally dumb as.
[47:33]
West Wilson
You guys played at Iowa. Were you there for that game?
[47:37]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah.
[47:37]
West Wilson
Was that a preseason?
[47:38]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah. Yeah, we played against Brazil. Oh, we should go to Brazil.
[47:43]
West Wilson
Chiefs play in Brazil. Week one against the Chargers. I think so there's that clear our schedule.
[47:50]
Sophie Cunningham
When do they. When's their first game?
[47:52]
West Wilson
It's probably like the first weekend of September.
[47:55]
Sophie Cunningham
Wait, when did Summer House quit filming?
[47:57]
West Wilson
Dude, I won it. Montana State plays Oregon Week 1, and it's our last weekend of filming, so it's like, it's the last weekend of August that, like, I think it, like, it dips its toes into September for a good day on like, Sunday maybe or something.
[48:12]
Sophie Cunningham
Wait, that. Because that's literally where I was gonna go with that. It's like, why doesn't. Why don't you guys all pick up, like, the Summer House crew, go to like, a game or, like, go to the Internet?
[48:20]
West Wilson
Talks about that all the time. Because Every other Bravo show does cast trips.
[48:24]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah.
[48:25]
West Wilson
So they go to, like, islands. And, like, how would you guys not do? I think because our show is a vacation.
[48:30]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah.
[48:31]
West Wilson
They, like, oh, in theory, were, like, already on a trip on vacation, you know?
[48:35]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah.
[48:36]
West Wilson
I, like, jokingly brought up Summerhouse Ozarks.
[48:39]
Sophie Cunningham
Dude. It'd be so fun.
[48:41]
West Wilson
And it, like, kind of caught a little traction.
[48:43]
Sophie Cunningham
And I saw it on my Twitter feed.
[48:45]
West Wilson
Yeah.
[48:46]
Sophie Cunningham
I saw it.
[48:47]
West Wilson
I interviewed John Ham about it. I was like, would you watch that show?
[48:50]
Sophie Cunningham
And he goes, yeah, yeah, yeah, dude, that'd be amazing.
[48:52]
West Wilson
But it would be fun to just go, like, I love that house, you know?
[48:55]
Sophie Cunningham
Yes. But, like, it's okay to go do something different for at least one week.
[48:58]
West Wilson
I think, with people that you spend so much time with.
[49:00]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah.
[49:01]
West Wilson
A little shakeup.
[49:02]
Sophie Cunningham
Yes.
[49:03]
West Wilson
Is healthy.
[49:03]
Sophie Cunningham
Yes.
[49:04]
West Wilson
And, like. Yeah. And then it, like, it kind of, like, lights a little. Like, it's a fun. Like, we're all going to, like, do this thing. Let's all be nice and have fun.
[49:13]
Sophie Cunningham
You're just not so much of a routine. But I actually want to hit on that real quick. Is it so weird with Paige not being in the house?
[49:18]
West Wilson
It sucks because I think our senses of humor were, like, the same.
[49:22]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah.
[49:22]
West Wilson
And if I made a joke, I.
[49:24]
Sophie Cunningham
Like, relied on her a little.
[49:25]
West Wilson
Yeah. She would laugh first, you know, so that.
[49:29]
Sophie Cunningham
That part's always tough, but are you still friends?
[49:31]
West Wilson
Yeah.
[49:31]
Sophie Cunningham
Like, hang out and stuff.
[49:32]
West Wilson
I'm gonna send her one of those bandanas, too. I got a little group of, like, you need to good homies, but. Oh, but seeing that in a tunnel fit would mean the world to me.
[49:42]
Sophie Cunningham
Dude, I want to rock it.
[49:44]
West Wilson
Yeah.
[49:45]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah. I'm all for that.
[49:47]
West Wilson
Yeah. You have an outfit idea? You know, it's my dad on the bandana. What?
[49:53]
Sophie Cunningham
Bruce.
[49:53]
West Wilson
Bruce. Dude, I'll show you. It's like a pastel painting.
[49:57]
Sophie Cunningham
Wait, on the. On the OG Scarf, it was Bruce the whole time.
[50:01]
West Wilson
Yeah, look.
[50:01]
Sophie Cunningham
You're kidding.
[50:03]
West Wilson
No, I sent them the picture. So it's like a picture of him.
[50:08]
Sophie Cunningham
The roofs.
[50:09]
West Wilson
Yeah. Isn't that cool?
[50:11]
Sophie Cunningham
Oh, hell yeah, dude.
[50:13]
West Wilson
And then that's their. Our cattle brand logo.
[50:16]
Sophie Cunningham
Oh.
[50:18]
West Wilson
So it's, like, cooler than you think it is.
[50:20]
Sophie Cunningham
Way cooler than. I just thought it was like a random silky scarf that you maybe got at Marshalls.
[50:24]
West Wilson
No, no, no. What the.
[50:26]
Sophie Cunningham
I don't know.
[50:27]
West Wilson
No, actually, this company is who did it. It's called. They're called pirate, but it's pretty cool.
[50:34]
Sophie Cunningham
You could have fooled my ass.
[50:35]
West Wilson
Well, that's not the point. Oh, and I also think my dad like was like, this is awesome.
[50:41]
Sophie Cunningham
You know he ate that up in a heartbeat.
[50:43]
West Wilson
I know. I was like, hey, do you have time to do like a photo shoot at the farm? And he was like, yeah, I can.
[50:48]
Sophie Cunningham
Tell the cows to off and the pigs can go.
[50:52]
West Wilson
The cows are a part of it.
[50:54]
Sophie Cunningham
I did see that. Dude, I will never forget back to our. Our little farm party real quick. I will never forget when you really did have yours and like your dad was out there and was like showing.
[51:03]
West Wilson
The like massive bonfire too. So.
[51:06]
Sophie Cunningham
That bonfire was huge.
[51:07]
West Wilson
It was huge. We took all the old wood and like pallets and I didn't know all that it would.
[51:12]
Sophie Cunningham
I remember that was a big ass fire.
[51:14]
West Wilson
Yeah.
[51:14]
Sophie Cunningham
That might have been one of the bigger ones. Yeah, Josh Evans had a couple big ones, but that was a. That was a big, big one.
[51:20]
West Wilson
I wonder if we'll ever do that again in our lives.
[51:23]
Sophie Cunningham
I think that we're going to throw it back and we're going to.
[51:25]
West Wilson
We like. Yeah. Wait. That would be so fun.
[51:28]
Sophie Cunningham
Why are we whispering?
[51:29]
West Wilson
Just cuz I don't want anyone here.
[51:30]
Sophie Cunningham
To think that they're not going to be invited.
[51:33]
West Wilson
No, you're invited. It's in Missouri though. Who else in the. I say wnba. I know you say W. Talks about who like shits on refs besides you.
[51:43]
Sophie Cunningham
I think I'm the. I'm really the only one who publicly is a massive. On refs.
[51:53]
West Wilson
Yeah. Dude, that's awesome.
[51:55]
Sophie Cunningham
But my thing is like, I'm not even gonna lie to you. I am someone who says what everyone else is thinking or talking about. Not just with the rest.
[52:06]
West Wilson
Did you post.
[52:07]
Sophie Cunningham
But with Detroit, with Cleveland. I want people to hear what I just said. I am the only one. But if you ask our league, they feel the same exact way.
[52:17]
West Wilson
The league feels the same way about.
[52:18]
Sophie Cunningham
The refs as you and Detroit and Cleveland.
[52:22]
West Wilson
Yeah. Damn, those cities are gonna hate you.
[52:24]
Sophie Cunningham
No, like they already do. I met someone. I was just at the Cubs and White Sox game.
[52:28]
West Wilson
Yeah.
[52:29]
Sophie Cunningham
Literally two nights ago. And this guy came and like, why he goes, are you Sophie? And I was like, yeah. He goes, well, I'm from Detroit. I was like, oh, I heard it's beautiful.
[52:40]
West Wilson
So what? I bet they. I bet people on Kansas City all the time though.
[52:45]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah. We have some of the best barbecue hands down the whole country. Like, I'm sure there's so many gyms. I'm sure that people are amazing. Those cities. I don't think people are fully understanding what we were talking about.
[52:55]
West Wilson
And so I want to give it one more shot.
[52:57]
Sophie Cunningham
No. Because I said what I had to say. And I'm not going to apologize because I fully believe that. Don't tell me that Detroit is more fun than Nashville.
[53:07]
West Wilson
I'm not going to tell you that.
[53:08]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah, don't.
[53:09]
West Wilson
I'm not.
[53:10]
Sophie Cunningham
Because I'll drag you by your damn neck.
[53:14]
West Wilson
Cleveland, Though. I. I.
[53:15]
Sophie Cunningham
Are you a lover? Kind of. And not a fighter?
[53:17]
West Wilson
I'm not a fighter. Everyone knows that. Not even close to.
[53:20]
Sophie Cunningham
I think I'm more of a lover than I give off. But I will beat your ass.
[53:24]
West Wilson
Yeah. Let's wrestle sometimes. That'd be fun. It's oil.
[53:30]
Sophie Cunningham
You're too sweaty.
[53:32]
West Wilson
That's my lube. My wrestling lube. I won't make you on refs, But I do find it. I find it interesting because no Mahomes did it two years ago and got massacred for three months.
[53:46]
Sophie Cunningham
That's fine. But you know what? He was probably speaking the truth.
[53:50]
West Wilson
I think he regrets that one.
[53:51]
Sophie Cunningham
That's fine.
[53:52]
West Wilson
Was it after you won or lost?
[53:55]
Sophie Cunningham
We won. Okay.
[53:56]
West Wilson
That's fair then. All I was gonna say. It's gonna sound like you're making excuses.
[53:59]
Sophie Cunningham
And I get it. Because if I was a ref, I know I would mess up all the time. Like, I'm not saying that your job is easy, but when it is a simple call right in front of your face multiple times. What are you doing? What are you doing?
[54:13]
West Wilson
What call are you, like, bugged out?
[54:15]
Sophie Cunningham
All of them. Like, it's just like, the. They're just so inconsistent. Like, that's my thing. Like, if you're on the other team and you're gonna be finding the. Out of me.
[54:22]
West Wilson
Yeah.
[54:23]
Sophie Cunningham
Cool. But let me do it to you.
[54:25]
West Wilson
Yeah.
[54:25]
Sophie Cunningham
You know what I mean?
[54:26]
West Wilson
You want consistency, then.
[54:27]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah. Like, just get. Just give. And I think that's players across the league and, like, new fans across our. Our. The country. Like, everyone's like, what is going on with the refs? And I'm like, I don't know. And you finding me $500 is not going to do.
[54:42]
West Wilson
Yeah. That was a bar. That's a shirt.
[54:45]
Sophie Cunningham
Hot girls like to be fined.
[54:47]
West Wilson
Find me $500. Won't do. That's sick.
[54:51]
Sophie Cunningham
And then I'll get fined for that. And then I'll get fined for this. And then the fines continue.
[54:54]
West Wilson
Yeah. Damn.
[54:57]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah.
[54:57]
West Wilson
Where do they. Where do the rest come from?
[54:59]
Sophie Cunningham
I don't know. Not all of them are bad. I know there's a. There's actually a lot of solid, really.
[55:05]
West Wilson
Good Refs, do you have personal relationships with any of them?
[55:08]
Sophie Cunningham
Sexual? Like.
[55:09]
West Wilson
Well, you wouldn't be.
[55:10]
Sophie Cunningham
Maybe I should do that.
[55:11]
West Wilson
You wouldn't be posting rude tick tocks about them if that was true.
[55:14]
Sophie Cunningham
I did say some. I didn't say all. There's just a. There's. There's like a good handful that it's like, all right, dude. And there's a couple girls.
[55:22]
West Wilson
Dumb question. Do, like, if someone were to like, say someone called men's basketball their whole life and then went over to women's, would it. Would they be expected to call the game differently? Just given like the style and like physicality and stuff like that? I'm just curious if they're coming from random, like where they're.
[55:42]
Sophie Cunningham
The thing. The thing that I have the biggest issue about the female sides of refs is like, they're so emotional. Like the, the guys. No, the NBA. The NBA officials. Like the NBA players. Those officials. Like, no.
[55:56]
West Wilson
Yeah, yeah.
[55:57]
Sophie Cunningham
Like, I. I was. I've worked broadcast, I've been to games. I'm friends with these people. They. Them.
[56:03]
West Wilson
Yeah.
[56:03]
Sophie Cunningham
And the only person that I've ever seen able to like a ref on the women's side is Diana Taurasi.
[56:09]
West Wilson
And they, like, take it.
[56:10]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah, they had to.
[56:11]
West Wilson
Yeah.
[56:11]
Sophie Cunningham
And like. But when I, She. She. She's probably one of the worst people that I've seen. Seen go after refs. And I loved every second of it.
[56:17]
West Wilson
Yeah.
[56:18]
Sophie Cunningham
But now like the refs and. And I'm not saying they're emotional like the men and women. It doesn't matter the gender on our side. They. They are too emotionally invested and they can't take it.
[56:28]
West Wilson
And I'm like, is it new to the WNBA that you guys are like, maybe talking more back to refs or has that been a thing for.
[56:34]
Sophie Cunningham
It's always been a thing. Like, I. We've had so. I've had so many coaches, trainers, nutr. Like everyone who's worked on both, like the NBA and WNBA side. And they say that like, we are more vulgar. Like vul discuss like wild in the men.
[56:49]
West Wilson
Like the way you talk.
[56:51]
Sophie Cunningham
Everything.
[56:51]
West Wilson
I believe it.
[56:52]
Sophie Cunningham
Like, everything. Like our locker rooms are insane.
[56:55]
West Wilson
Yeah.
[56:56]
Sophie Cunningham
They're fun, entertaining as.
[56:57]
West Wilson
So it's like talks.
[56:59]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah.
[56:59]
West Wilson
They look fun.
[57:00]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah. But I'm just so. It's just like the emotional aspect that they can't separate.
[57:04]
West Wilson
Interesting.
[57:05]
Sophie Cunningham
Like, we're not going after you as a human. We're just going after your job.
[57:08]
West Wilson
Yeah. I mean, I've seen football coaches eat up refs, but it's Outside, so it doesn't feel as personal. I feel like getting cussed out inside would hurt your feelings, but that's okay.
[57:19]
Sophie Cunningham
No, because it's, like, the heat of the battle. I feel like that's. I think if you went outside the court and did it, then that's going too far.
[57:24]
West Wilson
I mean, I don't mean outside of stadium. I just mean, oh, in open air.
[57:27]
Sophie Cunningham
Oh, oh, oh.
[57:29]
West Wilson
Like, being cussed out in an arena where, like, it echoes and you can hear other people feels more intimate than, like, out.
[57:35]
Sophie Cunningham
Sucks to suck. You know, we get cussed out of when we're playing. People yell at us all the time.
[57:39]
West Wilson
No, I know.
[57:39]
Sophie Cunningham
You don't see me in the middle of a game that. Don't. You can't say that. Imagine that.
[57:44]
West Wilson
No. You fight with your fists. I've seen it.
[57:50]
Sophie Cunningham
You're crazy.
[57:52]
West Wilson
Time flies. You're having fun.
[57:54]
Sophie Cunningham
It is. Have a lot of fun here with you.
[57:56]
West Wilson
Where do you live in comparison to your. Cause?
[57:57]
Sophie Cunningham
I know you have to go 15, 20.
[58:00]
West Wilson
Not bad.
[58:01]
Sophie Cunningham
Not too bad. No, everything's like.
[58:03]
West Wilson
Are you more of like a. I want to live close to, like, the fun in town or close to the facility?
[58:08]
Sophie Cunningham
No, I. I'm like a actually happy medium, so, like, in. In Phoenix, I had the perfect setup. I was, like, 10 minutes from downtown, which is, like, where we played Bush.
[58:18]
West Wilson
And I picked you up.
[58:19]
Sophie Cunningham
Yes. Yeah.
[58:20]
West Wilson
For that race.
[58:21]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah. And then 10 minutes from, like, our practice facility is perfect. And then 10 minutes from the bars.
[58:25]
West Wilson
Yeah.
[58:25]
Sophie Cunningham
And good food.
[58:26]
West Wilson
Yeah.
[58:27]
Sophie Cunningham
It's perfect. Where do you live? In, like, I just moved. I know. Oh, shoot.
[58:31]
West Wilson
Yeah. My first.
[58:32]
Sophie Cunningham
I think you did tell me that.
[58:33]
West Wilson
It's my first big boy apartment, dude.
[58:35]
Sophie Cunningham
Good for you. Do you have a roommate?
[58:36]
West Wilson
No, I'm solo.
[58:38]
Sophie Cunningham
You know what? Good for you. Sometimes you just need your space. Yeah. You know what I mean?
[58:41]
West Wilson
Well, in New York, it's, like, really hard to find that. I was, like, tripping on. She.
[58:44]
Sophie Cunningham
No, you could find it, but you're gonna.
[58:46]
West Wilson
Yeah.
[58:47]
Sophie Cunningham
Cut off your left arm.
[58:48]
West Wilson
Yeah. Couch built. TVs up. Couple, like, dressers built. So we're getting there, too.
[58:56]
Sophie Cunningham
Good for you.
[58:57]
West Wilson
Thanks. You have to come.
[58:58]
Sophie Cunningham
Is it bigger than, like, these two couches together or what?
[59:01]
West Wilson
Yeah. I was gonna say, I think all the Rockbridge boys are coming for Chiefs. Giants. But you'll be playing. We'll find a new reason. Come for Christmas, dude.
[59:13]
Sophie Cunningham
That'd be really fun. You'll see the Rockets, but you'll probably play.
[59:17]
West Wilson
Will you see the Liberty again?
[59:18]
Sophie Cunningham
No, we're done. Dunzo well, whatever.
[59:24]
West Wilson
Isn't there a. I guess Connecticut. But that's like where do you find when you play Connecticut?
[59:29]
Sophie Cunningham
I think Boston or Philly. No, Philly.
[59:31]
West Wilson
Philly.
[59:31]
Sophie Cunningham
Yeah. Yeah.
[59:33]
West Wilson
Oh, that was fun. More to come. We'll be webcam buddies next time.
[59:37]
Sophie Cunningham
I'm gonna miss you in person.
[59:39]
West Wilson
I know. I'll have a fan on me though for that one. Yeah, I love dude, show me some podcast. You showed me something.
[59:48]
Sophie Cunningham
Dude.
[59:48]
West Wilson
We're gonna be showing your feet.
[59:51]
Sophie Cunningham
You showed me your sweat armpits.
[59:53]
West Wilson
Yeah.
[59:53]
Sophie Cunningham
You showed me your. Your wrestling lube.
[59:56]
West Wilson
Dude. I always get nervous. My first viral TikTok was my balls because I was sitting like this and now I'm like, I always cross my legs. So I'll show it to you.
