[Sophie]

You're losing the human piece of things. And like, when I say human piece, like, people love artists because then it brings people together. Like, you go to a concert and you all go make memories there. Like, there's so many things that you take out of the human piece things. I like that.

[Wes]

Okay, I'm just gonna click on a random one.

[Sophie]

Oh, God. I can tell by your face that this is about to be up.

[Wes]

I hate my dumb ex wife and her stupid boyfriend cop. I hate all other countries and I hate when people talk. But boy, do I love being home alone and jerking off all the time.

[Sophie]

I check off every day. I check off every night. This is ruining Americans brains.

[Wes]

Turn that off. Oh my God.

[Sophie]

This is so bad. This is so bad. This is ruining kids brains West.

[Wes]

That was a song about. That was a fake AI country song about jerking off.

[Sophie]

Duh. Foreign. Welcome back, everybody.

[Wes]

Hello, and welcome back to Show Me Something podcast brought to you by the lovely boys girls at Arby's. And I know Thanksgiving's coming up and there's going to be a lot of turkey and a lot of ham, but you know what?

[Sophie]

I'm going to be thinking about something hot and juicy.

[Wes]

Yeah, that. The roast beef, brother. The double roast beef. The double beef and Cheddy. Yeah. Not to be. Not to. Not to be slept on just because it's. It's Turkey's week. You know what I mean? So shout out to roast beef. Arby's roast beef specifically. We're still thinking about you on a week like this.

[Sophie]

We will miss you first off.

[Wes]

Go fucking Bobcats. Brawl of the Wild trophy stays home in Bozeman, Montana, where it belongs to. Fantastic game. Fucking awesome.

[Sophie]

Was it a close game? I did not watch, but I'm proud that you guys won.

[Wes]

Yeah. Great game. Couple lead changes. We got the ball back up three with like four minutes left. And we just pounded the fucking ball right down their fucking throat and ran the fuck out. Yeah. Could have scored again, but we took it easy on them. So huge. Big Sky Conference Championship and then a two seed in FCS playoffs, so just absolutely massive.

[Sophie]

Well, I'll say. If you had a game like that and then the freaking Chiefs and Indiana game, Holy Colts, like, that was a freaking stressor too.

[Wes]

I will tell you that. The Colts in the city that you live in during the summer is they're actually the Indianapolis Colts, not the Indiana, they're not the Indiana Colts. So. You know what?

[Sophie]

It was a win, win for me. I'm so proud that the Chiefs won, like deep down. But like, if the Indiana. I'm going to switch my name. The Indiana Colts. If they would have won, I would have been like, proud too, because they're having a hell of a season.

[Wes]

Yeah, they are. Chiefs needed that win to kind of save their season and they pulled it off. Playoff hope still alive. That was a scary game. Played like shit to start and then found a way. But a good Sunday.

[Sophie]

I'm just not understanding what is going on. But sometimes, you know what, you have these seasons and it's, I don't know. I, I, it's hard to, to know. But we, we did pull it off. But man, I, we're just not used to this.

[Wes]

So maybe it's, that's why it's fun. It's like new, dude.

[Sophie]

I'd rather kick the shit out of it.

[Wes]

Yeah, but it is, it's kind of fun to have every game matter. I don't know. I'm having fun.

[Sophie]

No, like, for sure. I think they're like, you're more amped up for it instead of like knowing you're about to kick the, out of everyone. Even though that is fun. Like, there's more, like, pressure behind it, you know, more at stake.

[Wes]

Yeah. They'll probably have to go on the road for every playoff game, if they even make the playoffs. Like, it's just going to be new, but that's why it's fun. What's your ideal Sunday to watch?

[Sophie]

I like this. Well, I kind of had it yesterday. So I woke up early, I went to church and I'm going to this new church and I cry every Sunday with like a good cry, you know, just a real good feel good. Wow.

[Wes]

Cute.

[Sophie]

Yeah, it is. I feel good about myself. And then I kind of go home, open the doors, open the windows, start cooking a good breakfast, get some coffee, throw on some football, you know, let all the football get, maybe take a little nap. I like that. I like that. Get some naps in there, get cozy. And then after football, go outside. I went on a run, a walk, a beautiful Sunset got some good dinner. Like, I just had a really good Sunday, but I think that would be it. But you know what I am lacking? I'm lacking, like, doing all that with, like, a bunch of friends and family.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Okay.

[Sophie]

And sometimes a quiet Sunday is what you need. But I feel like I get a lot of quiet Sundays because I'm already away from people. So, like, I miss kind of. I miss that. But if I was back home, let's go tailgate and, like, go have fun at a football game.

[Wes]

Oh, for sure. Yeah. I'm counting, like, not being in the. Like, not being in Kansas City. Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Sophie]

Then what I just said, there's.

[Wes]

There's like, two. For me, it's either a, because New York City on a Sunday is the best. Everyone's got their team stuff on, like, bopping around, bar hopping all over the place, and you can just. Yeah, it's New York. There's people from everywhere here.

[Sophie]

Well, I know that, but I'm surprised. Sunday is like the day to like. That is like the best day of the week.

[Wes]

I mean, every day is the best day of the week here. But, like, Sunday is. Is in the fall, is thorough.

[Sophie]

I like that.

[Wes]

So then you walk out, bop around. I've had Sundays where I went to go watch a game at noon and I ended up getting home at like 4am which is how it works.

[Sophie]

I like that. Those that, like, when you are not planning those nights, those are the best nights.

[Wes]

Yeah, totally agree. That. And then like, being in a crowded bar with your friends, with everyone's, like, gear on, like a fun Chiefs hat. Something like that is fun. Or B, couch by myself. Known around Chiefs game. And then like, maybe red zone. Or red zone. Then Chiefs game. Just purely alone, like, light a candle.

[Sophie]

Yes.

[Wes]

Oh, I put my tree up. I put my fucking tree up this week. A, can I even move? I. I feel like you can't pull.

[Sophie]

The camera and turn it.

[Wes]

Okay. All right, here we go. Wait. Ready?

[Sophie]

Yep.

[Wes]

It's never going to look as good as it did. Wait, Ready? And look, there it is. I'm watching Colin show. Wait, wait.

[Sophie]

This is such a cute, cozy apartment. Wes.

[Wes]

Yeah. Also, wait. Shout out cozy earth because you're a blanket.

[Sophie]

Wait, hold on. I was not expecting your apartment to look so cute and, like, sophisticated.

[Wes]

So what everyone says, did you have.

[Sophie]

Help with this style or did you do it all on your own?

[Wes]

All by myself.

[Sophie]

Are you lying?

[Wes]

I swear to God, no. I just. I think I have good taste.

[Sophie]

Why am I like. I'm not actually. I Am kind of like shocked. It's so cozy, dude.

[Wes]

Fuck yeah.

[Sophie]

Soph, please, this is good. You might have like a. I'm not like a little side career come crash.

[Wes]

Next time you're here. Don't. You can like, this is all yours.

[Sophie]

Say less. I'll. I'll snuggle up on that couch. That Cozy Earth blanket.

[Wes]

Yeah, dude, it fucking rocks.

[Sophie]

All right, real talk. Every holiday season, there's always that one person that is impossible to shop for.

[Wes]

Oh, 100 in my family. That's my mom. She'll swear she doesn't want anything and it ends up being obsessed with everything you give her.

[Sophie]

Exactly. That is literally my aunt. But this year I finally crushed it. I surprised her with a bubble cuddle blanket from Cozy Earth and she called me the next morning like, I'm living in this now.

[Wes]

That's the sign of a great present. The one that instantly gets put up in the daily rotation. And I also have the same blanket. It's heavy, it's soft, and I love it so much.

[Sophie]

So the holidays actually kind of move a little fast with me because I travel, rehab, family plans are all over the place. So it's definitely chaotic. So giving someone something that actually makes them slow down and breathe, that's next level. That's what Cozy Earth is all about. Pure cozy and comfort.

[Wes]

And they make the whole thing easy. You get a hundred night sleep trial and a 10 year warranty. I've been rocking their pajama set and it's basically my uniform at the crib.

[Sophie]

[Wes]

But. And then like the walls are big, so I kind of. I went big on the TV and it's like, it's fantastic. I guess I had, I. I had a few friends over for the Montana State game and it's like a good. It's a good football living room.

[Sophie]

Yeah, I'm like, I don't know why I'm so shocked.

[Wes]

I can see it on your face. You're like blown away.

[Sophie]

I just think, I just think of like boys your age and like, and they're not really in tuned with maybe the aesthetic of a home.

[Wes]

May I say one thing, guys? The bar is super low for their apartments and A lot of guys don't have nice apartments and they're fucking dirty and they aren't and they have no taste and the shit's lame. The, the easiest thing you can do to just like really level yourself up as like a bachelor is just fucking have a normal like apartment. Keep it clean. Don't shave your pubes on the toilet. Like, like have a candle, keep it clean. And then like add, add a little something, add a picture and make sure it's framed. Like, it's not that hard to make an apartment cozy and cute. Obviously I think mine's a little extra cozy and cute. But like, if you're a dude and you're like, what can I do to kind of stand out? Literally have a like slightly, slightly, slightly effort filled apartment.

[Sophie]

That was easy, you know?

[Wes]

Right, well, just get, just try, just try a little.

[Sophie]

Can I just help with that a little bit? I just think that like there's stuff on Wayfair that's pretty cheap, but nice stuff. There are so many places you can go that you don't have to break the bank. But I think just get rid of your stuff that you had in college. Like invest a little bit.

[Wes]

Like your flags.

[Sophie]

No, literally. Literally, like just invest in like a nice something that you use all the time and invest in a couch, invest in a good tv. Like make your bed cozy, get new pillows. Like there's things that you can do just like, yeah, it's going to cost a little money, but you're going to thank yourself for it.

[Wes]

But that shit doesn't matter if you're gross. So you have to start by being someone who washes their dishes again, doesn't shave their fucking pubes and leave it on their toilet seat or their bed.

[Sophie]

What is going on?

[Wes]

Maybe not so much pubes, but I've been to dudes apartments where like you, there's like beard trimmings like around their sink and on the countertop and you're like, have you. Have you? Like, I can't even believe you have people over here and your bathroom looks like this.

[Sophie]

Clean the damn house.

[Wes]

Or like the corners of their shower have like the, the buildup and you're just like, how do you live? Like this?

[Sophie]

Yeah, that's gross.

[Wes]

That's crazy.

[Sophie]

Well, I just feel like you want to come home and this is something that I have like loved growing into. But like I have loved coming home to a clean, cozy house. Like it feels good to come home when it's not all messy and dirty, right? Like just, just clean it. Like you will feel better about yourself, I promise. So that I'm glad we went on over it because there's a lot of girls who are messy as too like.

[Wes]

Girls are probably true.

[Sophie]

Like their, their bathrooms are disgusting. There's lots.

[Wes]

But I do think, I do think that girls at least know they should be clean. Or like if a girlfriend came over to a girl's apartment, she'd be like, holy shit, this is crazy. Where like dudes don't necessarily feel the, the peer pressure of like keeping their apartment clean. Like girls do. Wait, and I. This is me trying to apply the pressure.

[Sophie]

Yes. Okay. How many times? I want to say on a weekly basis or I'll say monthly basis because depending on your answer. Do you clean your sheets?

[Wes]

I, at this point probably go weekly.

[Sophie]

Yeah.

[Wes]

Like once we're not here a lot, but like, I think I like, I like getting in bed with a new.

[Sophie]

Yeah.

[Wes]

A new set of sheets on and because it's winter and like I, I'll catch colds pretty quick if I feel like my nose is starting to run or my throat tickles a little. I'll flip my sheets quick so that I'm like starting fresh and they don't have any bullshit on there.

[Sophie]

Yeah.

[Wes]

But right now I have, I think. Who sent us sheets? Someone. Was it cozy? Earth again?

[Sophie]

Yeah.

[Wes]

I have Christmas sheets on right now. I wish I could do an apartment tour today.

[Sophie]

You need it.

[Wes]

They're so soft and nice.

[Sophie]

Ah, wait, this is crazy. See, this is.

[Wes]

You would love, you would love the like basketball hoop decor I have from my friend Jared. It. Should I flip the camera again?

[Sophie]

Yeah.

[Wes]

Okay. There's like a little cardboard, but my friend, before I show you, my friend, as a school project, made a basketball hoop that was meant to be decor in a home, not like some that you like, dunk on.

[Sophie]

Is this like a recent friend or like when you guys are in college or something?

[Wes]

I'm really close with his brother and then I've gotten to know him.

[Sophie]

Oh.

[Wes]

But I've known him for a while. But then like rappers started dming him and like asking him to make him hoops for their, their homes and stuff. He just made Bieber one, but he made me one. So like.

[Sophie]

So basically you and Bieber are the same person.

[Wes]

See in that room, it's like the centerpiece of the room.

[Sophie]

Dude, can you just take your. I want to see your house. I am just so impressed.

[Wes]

Thanks. It's brown, like cowboy leather. And then the, the, the frame and the hoop and the net are like gold it's sick. Shout out to Jared Ellis and Utrecht.

[Sophie]

Can he make me one?

[Wes]

He would make you in two seconds. I'll connect you.

[Sophie]

Dude, that would be dope. But I need to. I need to get a house first.

[Wes]

Yeah, we'll work on that. We'll work on that first. Well, that was a fun little home. Home goods, home decor. I like that convo.

[Sophie]

I like this. Good.

[Wes]

Real quick. Because we won't see anyone before Thanksgiving. Happy early Thanksgiving to everyone. Hope you have a great Thanksgiving. Or surrounded by family and friends. Healthy, wealthy, all the good things. Chiefs play the Cowboys on Thanksgiving. I think it's the middle game. I can't remember the last time the Chiefs played on Thanksgiving, but it should be fun. Also, I hate to say it, it's. I like football on holidays because it kind of gives you something to just like, do in the middle. And then everything else can kind of be filler. Like, my whole family will sit and like, we'll watch the game together. And then there's not like, you know, after you eat, but before, like, there's that weird period where everyone's just kind of like, full and just doesn't really know what to do. Like, I like having a game so everyone can lay on the couch on the floor and not feel bad about it.

[Sophie]

Our family is just. Must be very different and close. And I know I'm really blessed with an awesome family. But, like, we literally go. We eat, everyone eats, and then we all go to our spot to put on football. But it's a big old nap. So, like, go. Big old nap. Everyone, like, cuddles. It's fun catching up. And then you wake back up and then it's round two. Like, it's. It's the best.

[Wes]

Should we talk leftovers?

[Sophie]

Hell yeah. I like that.

[Wes]

Well, I think leftovers are better in my opinion than the. Than the original plate. I don't know if that's a hot.

[Sophie]

I think. No, I will hold on. The initial, like, bite of everything is so good, but then like the leftovers, I think that's like when all the sauces and juices and stuff just like really soak into the meat, into the, the sides and they are better.

[Wes]

So I've had this, I've felt this way for a long time. Especially when you bake. Shit.

[Sophie]

Yes.

[Wes]

I think that it's better after a night in the fridge the next day, whether that's like a casserole. Yeah, Sometimes all that. Yes. Sometimes things right when they're done cooking, it's so hot and like, the flavors are still figuring out the journey they want to go on, that it's not there. And then you take a bite the next morning you're like, oh, my God, this is the best thing ever. So what we do is my mom buys a bunch of Hawaiian rolls and just leaves them, leaves them on the kitchen island. And then my brother and my dad and I will just like through the ne next two or three days, just sneak in, take out a Hawaiian roll. Go. Cranberry sauce, mayo.

[Sophie]

Ooh, no.

[Wes]

And then just turkey, ham, and not cranberry sauce.

[Sophie]

Fan.

[Annabe Advertiser]

Really?

[Sophie]

Nope.

[Wes]

It's sweet and yummy.

[Sophie]

I know, but I just, I don't know, maybe I haven't, like, really tried it on the proper thing, but I just, maybe I'll try it this year. But I'm more of a ham girl. I like ham over turkey.

[Wes]

I do, too. I do, too. But I think on a Hawaiian roll, if I put some cranberry sauce down for you, you'd get it. It makes it brings it all.

[Sophie]

All right. Okay. Dream Thanksgiving plate.

[Wes]

That's a great question. And I'll be realistic.

[Sophie]

Okay.

[Wes]

I, I'm not like a, I'm not like a turkey. Like, I'm not gonna die in the hill of turkey. But I. It is Thanksgiving So I go have it on my plate, but I would prefer it to be dark meat. Juicier. I would like some ham. My family does a lot of, like, cheesy potatoes. It's just the most Missouri. The most Missouri ever. Sour cream in them, I would imagine. I'll. I'll text my aunt Cheryl. Cheese potatoes. And then my grandma makes, like, this spinach salad every year that's really good. But ultimately, like, my king is a big portion of mashed potatoes with a shitload of gravy, and then that just kind of trickles its way into the rest of the plate and you kind of just. You just follow.

[Sophie]

I can just picture it. I like that. Okay. Yeah. I think mine would be okay. Mine is ham. Like, I. I know the turkey's good, but I just. Ham is where I go.

[Wes]

So I. Yeah, I'm okay with that.

[Sophie]

Yeah, I'll do ham. I'll do some cheesy hash brown casserole.

[Wes]

Yeah, okay. Yeah, I. I'm. Now I'm regretting not saying hash brown casserole, but, like, same.

[Sophie]

I will do some. I'll do more hash brown casserole than potatoes, but I would have a little bit of potatoes with gravy. Green bean casserole, Mac and cheese casserole. I'll do a little bit of salad. And then I'm going in on, like, probably some apple pie and pumpkin pie.

[Wes]

Oh, the pies, huh?

[Sophie]

I do like those.

[Wes]

Pump pumpkin pie is Thanksgiving because we're not eating pie during Halloween, so that makes sense.

[Sophie]

Yeah, but I feel like pumpkin has been, like. I feel like that's the start of pumpkiny stuff is October, so I'm sure people have already had it. Hey, west, you know what I think we should do one year? Are you going to be home? Wait.

[Wes]

Yeah. I didn't even ask you why. See you Wednesday, the night before Thanksgiving when everyone gets. Oh, smashed.

[Sophie]

Yes.

[Wes]

I think I saw you last year.

[Sophie]

I know. No, I wasn't home for Thanksgiving last year. I don't think. Was I? I don't know.

[Wes]

I saw you at Taphouse with.

[Sophie]

Oh, yes, yes, boys. Yes. Oh, my God, I forgot. Well, then. Yeah, I'm sure we'll see each other finally. Shit. But I think that we should put, like, a Thanksgiving dinner for people who never get one next year, like, to get back to Columbia. Like, wouldn't that be kind of fun, like, getting. All of our friends are already going to be back in town and, like, going to serve people who don't get one.

[Wes]

Yeah, I would love that.

[Sophie]

Wouldn't that be kind of.

[Wes]

Yeah, that I. We have someone help us figure out, like, how to start it. But that sounds. Because I know, like, Chiefs players deliver turkeys to people every.

[Sophie]

Like something like that. Maybe it's not a full dinner, but maybe we did like deliver turkeys or hams or sides to like.

[Wes]

Yeah, that'd be cool. And we do it in Columbia. That'd be dope.

[Sophie]

Yeah.

[Wes]

Wait, kind of speaking of.

[Sophie]

Yeah.

[Wes]

Do you. You're doing like, what is your basketball thing that I saw yesterday?

[Sophie]

Wait. Yes.

[Wes]

Oh, well, it's not like charity, but it's like, it's like a found. It's you.

[Sophie]

Yeah. So it's a high school girls basketball classic. They all go to Columbia College. There's so many ranked teams and players that are going to be in it. But it is a charity event. So I'm choosing. I think this year I wanted to do Ronald McDonald House because I just like, love everything that they're about. But I think within those games there's going to be like a game that honors veterans and you can donate to, you know, veterans and then there's going to be like a can or shoe dry for like kids or people who need it. You know what I mean? So, like, there's different stuff in it, but the ultimate. It's called the Sylvie Cunningham Classic. The classic is to put like high school girls basketball on a platform and like give them all kind of like the gifts and stuff that entails of being a female athlete. That makes sense.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Okay.

[Sophie]

So it's kind of cool, it's fun.

[Wes]

But it's. So there's not like, it's not 5v5 games being played?

[Sophie]

Yeah, no, it's like, it's like Rockbridge versus Tickman. It'd be like it's like high school teams around the country coming to our local community and like we're going to do like a private event at one of the local bars. I'm not allowed to say yet, but like, there's like a lot of cool stuff. But like all these. The reason we do this is because one we want to give back. But also like when we were growing up, we would always. And like, no shitting on the guys. But like we go to these tournaments and we get all like the hand me downs and like leftovers of like guys tournaments. And so like this time we like get tampons. We get like facial stuff. We get like actual girl shorts and shirts and socks and shoes and like all the stuff like as a girl and like, we get, we Gift them with a whole bunch of stuff. Pretty much.

[Wes]

That's dope.

[Sophie]

And so it's. It is fun, and it's really interactive. Like, we're there all weekend taking pictures, signing autographs. Mizzou teammates, high school teammates, they all come back and, like, talk to, like, it's just like, a cool event kind of. So it's fun.

[Wes]

Yeah. Damn good shit.

[Sophie]

I think this is actually my fourth year doing it because it just keeps getting, like, bigger and bigger. And I feel like some people know about it, but it is like, we had over with the fourth year doing it. We had over, like, 5,500 teams reach out across the country like that. And if you're on the know, the women's basketball school, that's a shit ton, which, like, yeah, I'm happy about. Like, I think it's awesome. So there's definitely a market and a need for it. So why not do it, you know, for show?

[Wes]

That's very cool.

[Sophie]

Do you want to come and show people how to dribble and use your left hand and how to shoot?

[Wes]

I can't show them how to do my left hand. I'll show them how to get low side feet. Side feet? Yeah. Bang the floor.

[Sophie]

Yeah. That'd be awesome. Okay, ladies, gather around. Your wardrobe's about to level up. The Skims Fits Everybody collection. Total game changer. Like, how is it even this comfy? The fabric literally moves with you. Soft, stretchy, feather light. It's giving main character energy in every room. I've been a skims fan forever, but once I slipped into the Fits Everybody collection, yeah, it was game over for me. And let's talk about that skims thong. No digging, no discomfort, Just wow. Then there's a triangle Bralette. Can't forget that. And trust me, as someone picky about Bralette, this one is the mvp. Supportive, yet chill. No squeeze, no stress. Just pure comfort and lift, and you don't feel it whatsoever. Big fan. I didn't think underwear could even change my life like this, but skimsjoy said, watch this. So if you've been waiting for a sign to finally try the Fits Everybody collection, this is it. Shop the Skims Fits everybody [e-mail].

[Wes]

Oh, paused.

[Sophie]

Dude, you went to freaking. Was it dinner or something with Jimmy Fallon?

[Wes]

Yeah, last night, actually.

[Sophie]

What? Dude, no, tell me everything. That is, like, amazing.

[Wes]

I met his wife in Vegas. His wife's name's Nancy.

[Sophie]

She's, like, at Bravo Con.

[Wes]

Yeah, she. She was there. Just had, like, an after party kind of thing.

[Sophie]

Cool.

[Wes]

She's a doll. I do think she liked before we met. She was fond of me from Summer House Love. But then we just hung out for a while and she was like, oh, my God, let's get dinner when we're back in New York. Whatever, whatever. And so we just booked a dinner at this cool place called Monkey Bar. And it was me, her, Jimmy, and our other NBC friend named Tim. But she's also like, I don't know if I'm allowed to say. She's basically using me as like a muse for something. I don't want to give it away. She's a movie producer. She's done like hella important, good, cool movies. So that would be fun.

[Sophie]

Was Jimmy so cool?

[Wes]

I, I, I guess I didn't have expectations, but he was great. Like, really funny. Just in like a cute dinner way. Like, I don't know. I, I was, we just had like cute little banter the whole dinner and it was so fun. And he was such, he was such a treat and like, you know, a few people came up to the table and like, asked for pictures and he, he's obviously 900 times more famous than me. And he was, he was so kind and sweet to everybody.

[Sophie]

Well, if Jimmy wants some cool podcasters on a show, hello.

[Wes]

For sure. I mean, I'm like, yeah, I'll, I'll nudge when, when the season starts next year. Right, Right before. Yeah, I'll see who.

[Sophie]

I'm like, who are these idiots?

[Wes]

But also, it's the first time I went to. It's called Monkey Bar. It's like a New York City staple and it was lovely.

[Sophie]

Love that.

[Wes]

Yeah, but a sick guy, like, very sick.

[Sophie]

And a cool ass wife and a cool ass.

[Wes]

No, they were just, they were lovely. They're so great.

[Sophie]

So love that. Yeah, that is cool.

[Wes]

But, like, kind of just random how I. Yeah. Hey, I don't know.

[Sophie]

That's cool.

[Wes]

Yeah. Say yes to stuff.

[Sophie]

Yes. Got to. Why not? Why not? I like that.

[Wes]

What do we have, Kev? What were our, what were our things? Also, Sophie got our license. If you wanted to ask Sophie about how that went. Did you take good actually get behind.

[Sophie]

The wheel, so, and like, do all that stuff?

[Wes]

The. Do you even mean about your license?

[Sophie]

Okay, here's the deal, everybody. I'm.

[Wes]

People in Phoenix have cars in Indiana.

[Sophie]

Oh, okay. Actually, you know what? Let's, let's start on that topic. I, I will get into my license, but I want people to know that. Let me shout out the, the east coast people. Just, just hang in here with me. Okay.

[Wes]

Okay.

[Sophie]

East coast people are super bold and ballsy, and I kind of got into it last week, but, like, they're not afraid to do stuff. Like, they're. They're going to get their content. They're going to go just do whatever the hell they want. And I think that takes a lot of courage. And I love New York for that. I will say west coast people shout out to you guys. You guys are healthy. You guys are.

[Wes]

Yeah, they are. I mean, yeah, you guys are healthy.

[Venmo Advertiser]

What's up?

[Sophie]

Dude, they are like, just, like, their food is clean, everyone's outdoors. It doesn't matter the age. Like, it is a healthy lifestyle. And I. I want that when I'm older. And let me shout out the real folks. Fucking Midwesterners we have every season. And, like, I think that just builds, like, resilience because we are prepared for absolutely everything. And let me tell you why I'm saying this. We have.

[Wes]

I was gonna say, what does this have to do with your car? With a car.

[Sophie]

Just wait. Just wait.

[Wes]

Okay.

[Sophie]

We know how to drive in rain. We know how to drive in snow. We know how to handle hot humidity. We. We know how to just get shit done. And it doesn't matter what the weather is looking like. People in Arizona don't know how to fucking drive in the rain worth shit like that. People don't know how to drive in general in Arizona. And it pisses me the hell off. And I promise you, Wes, it was barely sprinkling in a place that Normally takes me 10 minutes to get somewhere. Took me an hour and 30 because it was sprinkling. And people didn't know how to drive. The rain. No, like, that's ridiculous.

[Wes]

You get in Iraq or something?

[Sophie]

No, there was nothing like, there was standstill traffic on the highway on an hour where it shouldn't have been because it was sprinkling. And people didn't know how to use their damn windshields. They're like the wipers. Like, this is. It is. I'm telling you, come out here. If there's, like, any rain, it's like, snow in Florida. They cancel freaking school in Florida if they are going to get, like, snowflakes. Like, it is. Just drives me crazy.

[Wes]

But what is a girl from Missouri doing in Arizona and Indiana without her license? Or, like, not having a driver's license?

[Sophie]

Well, that's where that is false news. So here's the thing. Oh, I got my driver's license when I was 16. I failed the written portion four times.

[Wes]

Good work.

[Sophie]

I Started actually driving. I was like 4 or 5. I already know the rules, but I'm just hyping it. Taking tests.

[Wes]

You're one of those. I'm a bad test taker.

[Sophie]

I'm such bad. Like, so bad.

[Wes]

AKA You're.

[Sophie]

No, go ahead.

[Wes]

Nope. Dumb.

[Sophie]

Go for it. No, I. I really good at math tests, but like everything else, I just. I don't like taking tests. It stresses me the.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Out.

[Sophie]

Okay.

[Wes]

Anyway, if I had bad grades and I could get away with telling people I was a bad test taker, I would do it.

[Sophie]

Well, I don't. I think that when I.

[Wes]

You graduated and have a. You are a successful woman, so I'm. I don't think that you're dumb.

[Sophie]

I know I'm not dumb, but I.

[Wes]

Just mean when it comes to school and people, like, would do horribly. They just think I'm a bad testing, like, oh, yeah.

[Sophie]

No, study.

[Wes]

Fucking idiot.

[Sophie]

Well, yeah, you're right. I didn't do. I didn't do my homework. I didn't study. I was busy, so.

[Wes]

Yeah.

[Sophie]

Yeah. But anyway, when I did study, I killed that shit. Don't get me wrong. I just.

[Wes]

You go.

[Sophie]

You know, My priorities were a little off. So anyway, I. Two. I think it was, like two and a half years ago. We were playing in Seattle, and I had. I was just in my hotel room and I had. I was wearing sweats, and I had my license, like, right here in the pocket.

[Wes]

Oh, okay.

[Sophie]

And I. I went to go to the bathroom, just pee. And when I stood up.

[Wes]

Just pee. Just peeing.

[Sophie]

Just pee. It was just pee. Because I'll tell you why, it was kind of gross. So it slid out and, like, when I turned around to flush, like, you know how, like, naturally you just kind of, like, down, Right?

[Wes]

Yeah.

[Sophie]

I flushed and I saw my license, and I, like, went in and tried to grab it, and it was the hardest flusher I've ever seen in my life. Like.

[Wes]

Yeah.

[Sophie]

And so I was like, oh, my God. And, like, that was the only idea I had. So I was like, oh, God, I can't get back on the plane. Like, we play Seattle, then we go find somewhere else. This was on, like, during the. This was during the W season.

[Wes]

Frick.

[Sophie]

Yeah. So I was like, oh, my God. And so they're like, it's fine. Like, whatever.

[Sophie]

So the whole time I just started using my passport and I didn't want to get a license if it wasn't Missouri. And I never had time in the last two years to get a freaking driver's license from Missouri. Like I was always home only for holidays or weekends when like the bureau wasn't open. And so for the past two years.

[Wes]

Wait, wait really quick. Yeah, you know there's a DMV location on the south side of town that no one knows about and there's never a line and it's like by that Walmart and you can get in and get out in like that's where I go.

[Sophie]

That's or there or if you actually go up to Fulton, Fulton is really fast too.

[Wes]

Okay.

[Sophie]

Yeah. So just yeah, I'm Missouri folks. But no, I like and thankfully I have never gotten pulled over and like I think there was one time where I actually did get pulled over but they just looked me up in the I explained what happened. They just like looked me up. They're like oh yeah you have a license but like go get your license. But I haven't had a license for like two years. I've just been using my passport but I just got it. I finally have it.

[Wes]

I will say though, I'm pretty sure unless you get the special Missouri id, you can't even fly with Missouri ID anyways. Yeah. Well do you have it? Do you have it by you?

[Sophie]

Yep. Wait, don't Tell me that because I have to. I need to fly home.

[Wes]

The top right will say for real ID purposes or not for real ID purposes. So you're gonna have to use your passport if it says that.

[Sophie]

Well, dude, it says that. It starts May. May 7th. Is the notification I got.

[Wes]

Yeah. 20, 25. What does the top right of it say?

[Sophie]

I don't. It doesn't say anything about being for real.

[Wes]

For real doesn't say it's I'm for real. There's no text in the top right. Oh, not for real ID purposes or for. Oh, yeah, hold on. I have to use my passport.

[Sophie]

Where does it say that?

[Wes]

I can't even get it out. Yeah, it's like a few states. Like, our IDs are like, I'm covering up myself.

[Venmo Advertiser]

Look.

[Sophie]

Wait, I don't.

[Wes]

Right here.

[Sophie]

Mine is the new one. Mine doesn't say anything like that.

[Wes]

Then maybe you're good. Maybe that star. Okay, then you're probably good. That star might mean you're fine.

[Sophie]

Can you look that up? Because I have to fly.

[Wes]

You have your passport?

[Sophie]

No, I left it.

[Wes]

No. So if I think you're good because it. In place of where mine says. No, not for real id, yours looks like a gold star.

[Sophie]

Good, good, good, good, good, good.

[Wes]

See you Wednesday.

[Sophie]

Yeah. Wait, are you doing anything? I know this is so random, but are you, like, doing me, like, anything fun right now? Like, what are you doing for work right now?

[Wes]

Oh, I had complex con, like, two weeks ago. Oh, well, yeah, I have something in the works that we definitely. I don't know if we can say. There's a. Well, okay. NBC announced they're doing a peacock live stream. It's like the Manning cast, but it's for reality tv. Oh, but I was. I did a table read to, like, try out for it, whatever, and then they moved the date to when I'm gonna be in Kansas City. So I was like, can't do it. I've got, like, a boys trip. And obviously our party at Arby's, but they were like, wait, if you're gonna be at the game, like, let's figure out something to do. So I may be getting involved with that broadcast.

[Total Wireless Advertiser]

It.

[Wes]

Nothing is like. Like, it's very early on stages, but maybe. Maybe like, sideline reporter or something kind of like super cool.

[Sophie]

I like that.

[Wes]

I'd have to take it easy on the. On the beverages throughout the day if that's what we're gonna do. But that would be. That's kind of fun.

[Sophie]

I will shout out because I think I get a lot of questions, like, like, oh, it's Wes, like the summer house guy. I was like, yeah. He's like, well, what else does he do? And I was like, well, he works for Complex. But I. I'm not kidding, Wes. And I'm not just trying to toot your horn here. You are so, so intelligent and you have a true gift of interviewing. And like, you are so smart when it comes to sports and like, the history and like, how to bring out the best in people when you interview them. And that is a true gift. Like, I'm serious. And so when people are like, oh, it's the summer house, I'm like, yeah. But I'm like, he's. He's awesome. Like, you should, you should see his other stuff that he does, because I. It really. Thank you.

[Wes]

Yeah, that's really nice of you.

[Sophie]

Yeah, well, duh. But that's like, I'm not trying to do your own horn. Like, I'm being genuine because, like, you, I get so many people who interview me. But when I see you doing it, I'm like, no, he's like, good at it. He's swaggy. He, like, he knows the slang. He knows how to be cool about it. And like, you, you bring out the best in people. Like, it's.

[Wes]

That's you.

[Sophie]

Yeah.

[Wes]

Okay, I'm gonna, I'm gonna shout out my dad. Whenever people would come over to my house when I was younger to like, break the ice, my dad would just ask if it was friends or like girls in eighth grade or ninth grade or whatever. He would just ask them questions.

[Sophie]

Yeah.

[Total Wireless Advertiser]

And I.

[Wes]

And always ask them questions. But he, my dad also well traveled, like, well read. He can ask questions and like, know what their answer means and have a follow up or whatever. And so I always watched him do that and make other people feel more comfortable and like, safe around him. And I always thought that was such a good skill to like, show someone you care about them. But also watching him be smart enough and know enough to like, ask questions and then be able to, like, know what they're talking about. And so I think being well traveled, I think really helps just being able to relate to anyone because you understand where they're coming from and things that they grew up doing or where they were going. I think there's a little bit of confidence that goes into it too, where you can, like, be on someone's level and know that they feed off your energy. And I've obviously been doing this long enough now that I think I've got it figured out for the most part, but no one's gonna be comfortable if you're nervous. No one's gonna be comfortable if you try to big time them. No one's gonna be comfortable if, like, you're, like, too formal, like, too buttoned up. So you just kind of gotta, like, meet people there. It takes a little work. But I really appreciate that because that's something that I care about and, like, want to keep doing. So I appreciate you saying that. It was really nice.

[Sophie]

Dude, of course I got you. I think you. You're great at it, so.

[Wes]

Hell yeah. Yeah. Now I just fucking grill you with questions twice a week.

[Sophie]

Say less. Oh.

[Wes]

All right, Kev, what do we got? Yeah. So Sophie had a hot take on this before.

[Sophie]

One of the top songs on the.

[Wes]

Country music digital sales chart is an.

[Venmo Advertiser]

AI artist breaking Rust.

[Wes]

The song's called Walk My Walk. Most of the time I hear AI music. It is satire on TikTok. That being said, they're fucking catchy. And sometimes I'm like. I'm like, damn. They're songs about, like, they're all sex related for the most part, but, like, they're funny.

[Sophie]

Like, I get it. But also, like, you're losing the human piece of things. And like, when I say human piece, like, people love artists because then it brings people together. Like, you go to a concert and you all go make memories there. Like, there's so many things that you take out of the human piece. Things.

[Wes]

I don't like that. Okay, I'm just gonna click on a random one.

[Sophie]

Oh, God. I can tell by your face that this is about to be fucked up.

[Wes]

I hate my dumb ex wife and her stupid boyfriend cop. I hate all other countries and I.

[Sophie]

Hate when people talk.

[Wes]

But boy, do I love being home.

[Sophie]

Alone and jerking off.

[Wes]

I jerk off all the time.

[Sophie]

I cher off every day. I check off every night. This is ruining Americans brains. Turn that shit off. Oh, my God, This is so bad. This is so bad. This is ruining kids brains west. That.

[Wes]

That was a song about. That was a fake AI country talking about jerking off.

[Sophie]

Duh.

[Wes]

And it's got a story to it and a hook. The top comment is, why is this actually good? Crying face.

[Sophie]

I hate that. It's country too. That's like, pretty good though.

[Wes]

Someone said this proves my phone's been spying on me.

[Sophie]

Oh, no, no.

[Wes]

So that's kind of where.

[Sophie]

Yeah, it brings humor, I'll give you that. I mean, that is funny as shit.

[Wes]

But I mean, if you didn't Laugh about a country song, about jerking off on the couch.

[Sophie]

What the fuck even is.

[Wes]

Hold on.

[Venmo Advertiser]

No.

[Wes]

So if you're just gonna be. You're just gonna be even more proud. Okay.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I gotta.

[Sophie]

Very proud.

[Wes]

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I gotta get to the front door. Okay.

[Sophie]

[Wes]

[Sophie]

[Annabe Advertiser]

[Sophie]

[Wes]

Bedroom?

[Sophie]

That way. Well, what's right behind you? I know, but by the basketball. Who? Is there a fan back there?

[Wes]

Not a fan.

[Sophie]

[Total Wireless Advertiser]

[Wes]

Yeah. Oh, I guess there is. Yeah.

Anyway, are we doing? Are we doing. Tell me something, Kev.

[Total Wireless Advertiser]

All right, guys.

[Sophie]

Yeah.

[Wes]

We get here to tell me something. Here comes our first question.

[Sophie]

Hi, my name is Mia, and I am 10 years old. I saw you in Connecticut the day you got hurt. I was the girl who said happy birthday to you and told you it was my birthday too. And you wish me a happy birthday. I was so sad that you got hurt. I hope you feel better soon. I played AAU basketball and I was slang last tournament and hit 50 three pointers. My question is, how do you become a great defensive player like you. Thanks for taking my call. Oh, my wholesome.

[Wes]

That was the cutest call we've ever gotten.

[Sophie]

How do we get more calls like that? That was really cute. And I know exactly who she was. It was her. We were playing in Connecticut and I did. What's your happy birthday, Tick? It's my birthday too. I was like, no way. I was like, we're twins. Oh, well, that was so cute. Okay. Anyway, I think it's funny that people think I'm a good defensive player because I definitely did not used to be, but I think, like, my toughness has shown that I can just guard a lot of positions. And so I think just like being versatile of being able to guard a shooter, being able to guard. I'm not good at guarding quick people because I'm just not that fast. So that. That give them some room if you're guarding someone fast to give them a few steps. But I think the thing about being a good defender is just never giving up. Because even if you're slow behind them or you're just, I don't know, a little slower, if you continue just to, like, work hard and beat them to the spot or outwork them or make them work for every little thing, that's how you become a good defender. So I don't know. She's 10. I don't know how, like, in depth to go with that, but I just think if you work hard and make it hard for the offensive player in every little aspect of catching the ball, guarding well. So when they're about to shoot a shot, contesting, like, I don't. I don't know, but I just can't get over how cute. How cute she is.

[Wes]

That was cute.

[Sophie]

That was so cute.

[Wes]

Guys, last question here. It's a young ball looking to regain her confidence after an injury.

[Sophie]

My name is Shelby. So back in Ella Jo, I had shorter surgery, and I finally get fully cleared to Start playing. But this injury has set my confidence probably at an all time low. So my questions are, what has. Did you come back with a positive and confident mindset after your injuries? And Sophie, how do you think you will approach the upcoming season with a good and confident attitude?

[Wes]

That was nice. I guess just when you're so locked into a sport, you don't know anything other than like keep going after it because you're not playing. So you have to put all of your competitiveness and hunger into something. And for me, after I broke my leg, that was like rehab. Because being hurt isn't fun, it's boring. You get attention for like a week and then when everyone stops caring that you got hurt, it's just you and you're by yourself and everyone else is doing cool stuff and you're alone. So I think you, I think you just fully change like your goals, but it doesn't change who you are inside as a competitor, as an athlete. You just fully pivot into like trying to accomplish what's in front of you next. Whether that's like being able to walk again or like it's weight bearing, then it's walking and then it's being able to run in a straight line, then it's cut a little bit, then it's like back on the field and like just stay, you stay hungry. You just are going to pivot like what you care about the most and it'll all be rewarded in the end. You just have to kind of change your goals, but it's kind of a part of it.

[Sophie]

Wait, can I piggyback off you? I think also people along this could be like your life journey as a whole. But break it down to sports because I think sports teaches you so many good life lessons that like everyone always thinks about that. Your, your sport is not always highs and lows. Like you have to fall in love with the whole journey and like falling in love with the journey is when you are hurt. Like embracing what being hurt is teaching you. And that's, that's resilience, that's discipline, that's obedience of, you know, like getting your stuff in so you can become healthy, so you can get back to what you're doing. But that correlates to life. Like life isn't always fun and easy. Like sometimes life is hard and you still got to get up every day and put your best foot forward. And so I think embracing everything that comes with sport and then that's a lot of hard, difficult things. But I think you're going to be better for it. And so, I don't know, you got to fall in love with the things that are hard, fall in love with the things that you don't want to do that aren't fun. And I think you're going to look back and be like, you know what I miss? I miss going to rehab. Like that taught me so much. You know what I mean? Like, you can find joy in the hard fully.

[Wes]

Guys, that was kind of a fun one. That was random. Remember, keep your apartment clean and have a good Thanksgiving. And Soph, I encourage you to try cranberry sauce.

[Sophie]
