Wes
Fourteen tigers. There's more Bobcats and Tigers.
Sophie
Surprising.
Wes
Damn. But do either of you know why a bobcat is called a bobcat?
Sophie
Because they're tails.
Wes
Yeah. Good. That's. Not everyone gets that.
Sophie
Really?

Welcome back to Show Me Something podcast. I do have to note something. I don't read the comments very often, but I checked in yesterday and a lot of people said I've been cussing too much. So I would like to say this is a note. I'm going to try to say less F bombs today. So Sophie, if I. If I cuss, you can tell me to stop and call it out for me.
Sophie
Fucking do better. Les, what the fuck are you doing? Fucking rude of you.
Wes
Sorry. So I, like I said earlier, I'm going to try to cuss less. And Sophie and I have breaking news. It's going to shock the world. We're coming home to Kansas City, Missouri for a little party.
Sophie
Wait. I'm actually so excited for that. And the amount of people who are like, wait, how can we rsvp? Like, what if we don't get in? Can you guys get us in? Like, I think this is about to be like a really big fun deal for us.
Wes
So if you're in the Kansas City area or if you're even in Columbia or St. Louis and want to Drive up, pull up. It is the same weekend as Mizzou, KU basketball and Chiefs Texans football. So lots going on.
Sophie
Yep.
Wes
Huge weekend. But we're going to be at a restaurant. It's like a bar, a pub. But I. I looked on Facebook and this guy was like. He was like, man, I can't believe they're having a party at Arby's. That's awesome. So the party is sponsored by Arby's, guys. It's at no other pub 2:30 to 6. And Arby's is bringing the. The food and the drinkies and the games. But it's going to be really fun.
Sophie
It really will be. Like, we're going to be very interactive. All of our friends and family are going to be there. There's going to be just a bunch of people there, so. And honestly, it's going to be a great weekend for all types of football, especially Kansas Mizzou. And then you definitely have achieves like you mentioned. But this is like a big, fun weekend, so I think it's going to be so fun. Meet and greet.
Wes
Kansas Mizzou. Kansas Mizzou Basketball.
Sophie
Basketball. Yeah.
Wes
But, yeah. December six. I don't even think I said the date in the beginning. So. First weekend of December. Pull up. That's our big announcement for today. Because Sophie and I don't even get to see each other that much.
Sophie
We really don't. We need to do better about that. But I will say with it too, people are like, well, what's it called? The pub is actually called. No other pub. Like, that's correct. That's the place. So come hang out with us.
Wes
Yeah. Gonna be fun. But that's the news we're dropping. So those are my. Those are my two big things. No cussing. And our party.
Sophie
Okay, well, I have some, like, fun things to talk about, but I think I want to wait for the hot girl section.
Wes
Oh, okay.
Sophie
I just got.
Wes
Okay.
Sophie
Yeah, yeah. Because it's. It's like a good, like, it kind of made me tear up a little bit. Like, I loved it, so. I know.
Wes
Wait. Okay. The first of BravoCon in my Vegas hotel room, I was like, kind of hungover and I didn't have to be anywhere till one. And I fell into the deepest hole of like, you know, they call them like Hope Core videos. Just like the Tiktoks. That'll make you cry.
Sophie
Yes.
Wes
My eyes were so puffy and I was just sobbing in my bed for two hours. And I was like, I cannot go. I have to. Like, I just put my Phone down, like, shower. I look like such a nightmare. But the Internet, you put, like, just a little piano and something just beautiful. It'll get you well.
Sophie
I feel like there are so many really cool, positive, heartwarming things. But, like, if you've turned on the TV and go to news, it's all like, really bad, negative things. But if you get on the right side of social media, there's just so many things to, like, smile about. Like, there's love all around. Like, I. I love going down those rabbit holes. Seriously?
Wes
Yeah, it's good. You want to build your FYP for the good.
Sophie
Yeah.
Wes
I would like to address a video that's been circulating the Internet of Jesse and I wiping out in a club. We were trying to leave. This is the first night or second night. I don't remember.
Sophie
What time was it?
Wes
Like, like 3 or 4am Probably.
Sophie
Okay.
Wes
It was crowded as, like, even the VIP area where we were was, like, mad crowded. It was just like, crazy. And so finally we were like, let's go. Kyle stayed, of course, but Carl, Jesse and I, and whoever else we were with were like, let's go. So a security guard starts leading us out. I didn't realize people even were, like, filming us. Leave. But we're leaving and I just am grabbing Jesse. And Jesse's six. Six. So I, like, can't see anything. We're just going to. And he just fucking runs right into a stanchion pole. He falls. Then I fall behind him, hit me right in the dick. And it was just like. You try to leave all cool because you have like, a security guard and everyone's like, watching or, like, grabbing you, and we just. And it was right where it opened up and it wasn't even that crowded. And we just smoked a pole. But grocery cart theory. I did pick it up and made sure that there was no damage. And then we left and I went home and. Ice my balls, dude. I thought that it's Jesse's fault.
Sophie
Well, Jesse almost. Jesse kind of fell over it too. But then, like, he didn't say anything to you and so you just ran directly into it.
Wes
No, he just kept going.
Sophie
I know.
Wes
Oh, yeah.
Sophie
It didn't even look if you were good. But you guys didn't fall fall, which was good. You just tripped over it, which is even kind of better.
Wes
I think that would have been bad. But it just looks. It looks so, like, awkward and oh, oops, sorry. Fricking awkward and dorky. And it's just funny because the whole weekend's about, like, being serious. And taking pictures and photos and whatever, and that was just good stuff.
Sophie
I do love that. I didn't know what you were about to say. I thought something else had circulated the Internet, and I was like, oh, that's.
Wes
That's the worst of it. I love.
Sophie
I love. Okay, well, I don't really have much. We just got done talking, so I think that we should actually just get right into the Hot Girl of the Week, because I just need to tell you the story.
Wes
Yeah, I could tell. You're fucking drooling. God damn it. Sorry. Frickin. You're drooling at the drilling at the mouth. We have free will. We can make Hot Girl of the Week a beginning segment. Okay, well, presented by Arby's.
Sophie
I think I'm just, like, ultra excited about this. I don't even know why, because I don't even know them, but so I'm wearing this hat. It's called Champs. Right, okay. And they also sent me a.
Wes
Come in. Come in a little closer. What's the little logo at the bottom?
Sophie
It's like a.
Wes
Okay. It's a little trophy. Like a little trophy emoji.
Sophie
They sent me a jersey.
Wes
Mizzou colors.
Sophie
Yep. Which might be, like, their bar, too. I don't know.
Wes
Do we have a location base for this brand?
Sophie
It's a. Oh, my God. I just turned on the tv. Sorry. Did you hear that?
Wes
It sounded like. That was, like, a sound effect for the jersey.
Sophie
That just scared the out of me. I've been watching a scary, like, show, and that freaked me out. So my Hot Girl of the week is actually Jess in the Champs Bar on Lake Geneva in Wisconsin. So it's from. It's a little bar on Lake Geneva.
Wes
Wait, okay.
Sophie
Have you been.
Wes
My brother's. My brother's girlfriend has a house on Lake Geneva, and she takes Henry there, like, multiple times throughout the year.
Sophie
Dude, they've had to have heard of champs. She played at Duke. Her name's Haley Grecki. She played in the league for a little bit, and then she got traded to Phoenix. So we were actually teammates out in Phoenix, Arizona, with the Mercury for, like, a season, I think. And now she's, like, some really cool sports agent, and she's doing really cool things, but they. She's always at Lake Geneva. Like, that's where, you know how, like, we go to the Ozarks or like, you go to the football games with Casey with all your guys from high school. This is where her friend group goes. And they just, like, look like such a great time they're always on a boat, they're always on the water, drinking, hanging out. Just a good group of people. And so every time she's there, I'm always like, oh, God, take me sometime. Like, I would love to go. It just looks awesome. And so they were at champs and the owner found out that we were friends. Okay. And so her and her dad were like, huge, huge basketball fans. The dad was, like, a mega fan. Like, a really cool, just, like, loved women's sport.
Wes
Women's basketball. Yes. An ally.
Sophie
So he actually passed away. Yeah.
Wes
Which is like, rest in peace.
Sophie
Yes. Which is, like, super sad. But now her and her sister own the bar and are, like, thriving and killing it. And so, like, it's just like you. I have like a whole sheet of, like, their whole story. And, like, I never read those, like, ever, so I'm not so sure why I read this one, but it, like, brought me to tears because just, like, they are putting this, like, memorial kind of like, I don't. I don't even know what you call it. Like, up in their bar of, like, their dad and, like, he wanted my jersey up there, like, next to him. Isn't that so nice? I know. Wow. And so I sent and, like, wrote a little note and I was like, cheers to your dad on the jersey. And then signed it and like, oh, that's really cute. Yeah. So, like, their story is just super cute. Plus, now they're like, you have to.
Wes
You have to go now.
Sophie
Well, I know, dude. Like, we should. I don't know when we would ever have the time, but it'd be so fun for us to like, bounce around to different lakes and have like a.
Wes
Little, like, lake tour. Like May from. Well, that's in the middle of your season.
Sophie
Can't do that. But, like, that's what I'm saying is, like, instead of doing, like, tours, we should do like a lake tour.
Wes
I know. Maybe you go slow on your rehab and we can do it this next summer.
Sophie
Hey. Well, with how the CBA is going, we might not even have a season. So maybe this is our year.
Wes
Do you want to unpack that? I'll go my hot girl and then you can go your hot girl of the week. Or then you can tell us about the cba. Wait, I don't think you.
Sophie
So, my hot girls of the week, just to clarify, are the.
Wes
Yes. Yes.
Sophie
Yeah. The two sisters who are running frickin champs on Lake Geneva in Wisconsin.
Wes
My hot girl of the week is. There's no shot. You watched the Bravo Awards Sophie. But one of the awards was for, like, best use of a prop. And the winner was Dorit Kimsley, who is a housewife on Beverly Hills and whatever the scene was. I remember seeing it memed on Twitter or whatever. And she was like, I'm sure some shit happened. And she hops in her car and, like, is speeding down the highway and, like, lighting a cigarette. And it was just, like, super iconic. So she wins the award. And they called her up, and she just walked up smoking hot.
Sophie
Oh.
Wes
And was like, appreciate it. Pulled out a fucking cig, lit it on stage and was like. And it was real. And then walked to the back with her award and her cigarette in hand. And I was like, dude, what a fucking.
Sophie
What's her name?
Wes
Dorit Kemsley.
Sophie
Hold on.
Wes
So hot, so cool. And then what brought it home for me was on TikTok, someone made an edit of it with a Limp Bizkit song, the song break stuff. And it is just like, this the fucking most badass shit I've ever seen ever. And Dorit Kimsley is my hot girl of the week. And it's not even fucking close.
Sophie
Dude. How do you spell that?
Wes
D O, R, I T. It was iconic.
Sophie
Dorit.
Wes
I'm sending it Dorit.
Sophie
D O R I T. Yeah.
Wes
Kimsley. Wait. Will you please watch this video I'm sending you?
Sophie
Oh, here it is. Founder. She didn't even say anything.
Wes
No. Just lit a sig and walked off. Iconic.
Sophie
Dude. That is funny as shit.
Wes
So that's my hot girl of the week. That was the coolest thing I've ever seen in my life.
Sophie
Dude, that is.
Wes
It was an honor. It was an honor to share a stage with you.
Sophie
Dream. Wow.
Wes
So that's cool, man.
Sophie
That was.
Wes
That was.
Sophie
I was not expecting it to, like. She seems like a cool chick, too.
Wes
I. It's crazy being around all these housewives because they're like. They're fucking cool. And you. I just think, obviously it's hard to feel like I can relate to them on a lot of things, but they're. They're sick. That was so tight.
Sophie
Well, yeah. I mean, what was she so stressed about?

This is podcast episode 21, and we haven't talked about fucking Michael Porter Jr. Yet, which, for those who don't know, also from our hometown. But he's said a lot of insane stuff over the last few years, I guess you could say.
Sophie
Really? This off season, he's been on one.
Wes
He's been saying dumb shit, though, for a while.
Sophie
Yes. But I feel like this off season in particular, he's just unfiltered.
Wes
Yeah, but so the, the Nets told him there's the first team to be like, hey, maybe stop talking out loud.
Sophie
Oh, they said that?
Wes
Yes. That's why I, like, got brought up again. So he talked about you and then, then the, the Nets put out a thing being like, can you, can you not do this anymore, please?
Sophie
I didn't know that.
Wes
Okay, but you read the quote, though.
Sophie
Well, so I will just tell you. I was working out. And when did this tweet. Can you scroll down? When did this tweet come out last? Yesterday. I guess this, like, started kind of hitting social media platforms. But I'm not kidding. I think maybe 35 people sent me this tweet yesterday. And I. And I was like, what? But he said this kind of like, I feel like a year or like at least four or five months ago, something kind of regarding the same topic. So I thought it was just kind of like resurfacing. But then I saw it and I was like, but I. People are kind of going in on him because it doesn't, like the timeline doesn't make so much sense.
Wes
Well, from what I gathered, he basically was trying to say no one should compare NBA and W N B A players together because he could beat you guys in basketball. And one on one, when he was in eighth grade and you guys were.
Sophie
In high school, I think, and this is my personal opinion, but if you are a professional football player, basketball player, really any sport, but let's just take it basketball because that's where we're both at. Like, to me, like, if, if you're in that elite level group. Yeah. You should be able to beat the girls. Like, I'm not, I'm not surprised by that. Like, that is not. I just don't get why it's continuing to get brought up. And like, if women are, are saying that, like, he couldn't beat them. Yeah, he could. Any NBA. Any NBA star or player could be a female in high school.
Wes
Okay. I agree. I think people are like, why are you still like, everything he's ever said is like, men and women. Him just like being so weirdly insecure about women being around him and like their, like, reflection of him. I think it wouldn't be that big of a deal if he hasn't been talking about true women so much the last like two years.
Sophie
Why did, like, what was this a response to? Like, I haven't watched anything. I haven't watched.
Wes
I wanted to know the same thing. What was, what was the response? Yeah, wait, I'm gonna look this up on Perplexity real fast and ask because it'll be faster. The original prompt discussion was about whether elite male teenagers in middle school or high school could beat or dominate WNBA players. Porter said, I'm probably going to go with eighth grade. I have real experience doing this. Okay. So that is fair.
Sophie
Yeah. The context of it is fair. Yeah.
Wes
He was asked, at what age do you think men could beat WNBA players? And his take was 8th grade. Do you think an 8th grader could hang a group of elite 8th graders could beat a WNBA team?
Sophie
I mean, if they're, if they're future pros, dude. I mean, it just depends how big they are at that age.
Wes
Like, well, yeah, that's. Yeah.
Sophie
And the majority of the time, if they're going pro, unless you're a late bloomer, like, you're already pretty big and like, I mean, that's.
Wes
No, they're massive eighth grade boys.
Sophie
Yeah. So I would say that that's like, probably.
Wes
Honestly, I don't want.
Sophie
I mean, it's probably true. Like, like, I, I don't want to be unrealistic or delusional. Like, men are just stronger, bigger, athletic. Like, they just are a different build. And so if you put them up against females of. I'm like, well, yeah, they're gonna win. Duh.
Wes
Here's my biggest question for you, Sophie. Do you think there are any players in the WNBA who would fight it and say we could beat any high school team of boys? We're that much better. Like, no one, no one younger could ever hang with us.
Sophie
Oh, no. Well, I think if you put like the best of the best of the WNBA against a group of 8th grade boys or future NBA guys.
Wes
Well, I was going to say high school for this. For the hypothetical that we're starting now. 8th grade is a little too pre pubescent for me. Or like, but once you get to high school seniors, like, Cooper Flagg was a high school senior two years ago.
Sophie
Dude, there's no way.
Wes
So, like, there's no way.
Sophie
And I'm not saying, like, there. There are some females who can outshoot, who can pass the shit out of it, who are strong, can rebound, can, like, we all have the skill, but it's all like, if you put a. Their best high school against the best wnba, I just don't. I just. The male and female are just so different. I just don't think that's a fair matchup.
Wes
That is a fair, fair case for MPJ and the fact that he got maybe clickbaited given that there was no context. And everyone on this podcast has been fucking clickbaited or freaking clickbaited before. So, you know, I will allow you to use this time. We'll give you, like, however much time you want to talk about what the Rockbridge High School basketball roster looked like, though, because he was talking about his sisters and you.
Sophie
Yeah, actually, this is good. This is good.
Wes
I. I will do it for. I'll do it for you if you want to be humble, but I think you should do it.
Sophie
Yeah, I'll do it. Because there's not private schools who recruit, will pay for the kids schooling. Do all that.
Wes
St. Louis is. Is a jackpot of a zillion private schools that are so good and they can recruit, they're good at football, basketball, soccer, literally everything. Kansas City, much more public high schools, but, like, still do it. We went. We went to public high school in a smaller town than Kansas City and St. Louis and then seven floors. Yours.

Sophie
Yeah. Their whole family is completely stunning. And so, yeah, we. It's so funny because I actually won four state championships. Right. So me, Me and Sierra Porter oh my God. But it was so fun because.
Wes
Not without the student section though.
Sophie
Student section was fucking awesome. Brew Crew, I will say we started winning and teams wouldn't play us. So when it got to be my senior year, we had I think like only three or four home games because people did not want to come play us. And so we traveled all over the damn state of Missouri, Kansas, Illinois, I think Iowa. Like we traveled everywhere to get games because people did not want to come because we don't have a conference. We didn't have a conference back then. And so we, we traveled every. Everywhere because people don't want to play.
Wes
Guys, that's a public school.
Sophie
That's insane.
Wes
That's fucking crazy.
Sophie
Shout out Jill Nagel.
Wes
Shout out Jill. I love Jill.
Sophie
She's the best. Yeah.
Wes
And we couldn't shout out Jill Nagel without shouting out Greg Nagel, her sweet husband. But we won't take up too much of your guys time. But you just need to know there was. Yeah, like what a, what it, what a time.
Sophie
Yeah. Like I will say when we hear these types of conversations or debates and we like bring it back to high school, like I think I was someone who got very blessed with a great high school team. And so like when I'm trying to compare our dominant, dominant high school team to like what he's saying, like I'm like, you know what, that's kind of valid. Like we, we were the best of, you know, you know, the, the best of our classes. And so like when, when there's an argument like that. That's why it's always fun. Like we've had these discussions in person and like you have them with other players and like at the end of the day, the men in sports will always win. Duh.
Wes
Trying to think of sports that don't require like chess though. Because golf, you tee off from closer every sport.
Sophie
Think about it. Besides, like, besides like band, dancing maybe.
Wes
I, you know what I, you know what I would like to watch?
Sophie
What?
Wes
Like Nebraska volleyball play a bunch of dudes? Something about volleyball I like. They're. They're beasts, dude.
Sophie
I, I will say that, but have you ever watched men volleyball players?
Wes
Yeah, it's scary. They like.
Sophie
Yeah, dude, those people can jump out of the damn gym. But like Nebraska volleyball, shout out Harper Murray. She's turning into my little bestie. Love her. Shout out. She's sweet.
Wes
Before we get into this, Sophie, any sporting events you have your eye on, like heading into the week, heading into December?
Sophie
Is this a trick question?
Wes
No.
Sophie
Go for It, Wes.
Wes
For those of you who don't know about the. It's got a few names. It's called the Brawl of the Wild. Some call it Cat Grizz. It is Montana State versus Montana. It is the. The game has been played since 1897. May I add you. So this is. This would be the 124th meeting. Yeah. Not everyone knows about it, but it is like, like Mizzou ku. Great rivalry. This thing is like, is unreal. College game day went a year ago. We hate the University of Montana. Montana doesn't have pro sports. So this is like. This is everything. You could be 0 and 11 and beat this school and still kind of feel good about your season. And that is this week. And not only is it the rivalry, but it is also for the Big Sky Championship. So two trophies on the line. It is the best rivalry I've ever been a part of. They have a six stadium. It's loud. It's going to be crazy. It'll be on TV if anyone's bored at 3 o' clock Eastern Time on Saturday. This is a game. It's worth your time. And I feel good. I feel great. But it's the only, like, we beat the shit out of the Big Sky Conference all year. We're very good. This game is the only game I get. Like, I'm nervous all week. Four because kind of no matter what happens after, you still have a bad taste in your mouth. No matter what. But we play for this big ass trophy that's £500. Sophie. If you look at this, it's really big. It's called the Great Divide Trophy.
Sophie
Wait, can people hold that?
Wes
You have to have like 10 linemen holding it up.
Sophie
Yeah. Wait, did you. Did you guys win this when you played?
Wes
We won my junior year and my senior year. So we. I went out with two. But it's. It's incredible. And so I would be remiss if I did not get on this podcast and say, go Cats, the Grizz. And I'm gonna say them because we usually say ftg. But go Bobcats. A lot of people have ftg, like, tatted on their lips and stuff. It's like real deal.
Sophie
Are you serious?
Wes
Swear to God. Actually, can I tell you a funny story? If you have time, do it.
Sophie
We have plenty of time.
Wes
The first game I ever traveled was my freshman year at Montana. So I was like, it wasn't towards the end of the year that they wanted to play me. Yeah. And so I was like, oh, this is like a crazy first like, away game to have. And so I'm like, so excited. Whatever. We get in the locker room and I don't know why. I had a bad feeling. I just was like, I don't know. The equipment team forgot to stitch my last name on my jersey. So everyone, everyone has their last names. And mine was just blank. And I was like, hey, did you guys forget? Like, what are we doing here?
Sophie
I'm not gonna put like a sharpie.
Wes
And just a sharpie or like duct tape.
Sophie
Wilson. Yeah.
Wes
And they, they were like, sorry, like we forgot it. I was like, what the. So it's my first awaken. I'm like so proud. It's in this super loud stadium where they hate us. Yeah. And we go running out there and I'm the only person without a last name on their jersey. And I was just kind of like, I was just like, this the whole game. And like, I probably only played like 10 snaps, but who cares? I'm standing there and they're all like, who's the mystery man down there? Who's the mystery man? Like, why doesn't he have a name? Like, do you have to earn your last names? And so they were heckling me the whole time. But it was just a classic. Like, you're so excited for your first game to travel and of course something goes wrong.

But dude, if you think about it, that's a good bim. Like, if that didn't happen, it wouldn't have been as like, rememberable, you know? Yeah.
Wes
Yeah.
Sophie
I love that.
Wes
Yeah. But go cats. That's all I wanted to say. I like that big one.
Sophie
Actually, you know what? That kind of fits for both of us. Go cats. Because. Because a tiger's a cat. We want the cats. Yeah, but when. What?
Wes
But no one in Columbia says, like, go cats.
Sophie
No, but I'm just thinking like a jayhawk is a bird. What's Montana's thing?
Wes
They're grizzly. So that would be like a large. A large mammal.
Sophie
Yeah.
Wes
So we're just encompassing all cat mascots. There's probably like, if you encompass all cats.
Sophie
Holy shit.
Wes
In division one, probably like 45 or something.
Sophie
Probably more than that, don't you think?
Wes
Bobcat, Tiger. There's not a lot of lions in College K State, is it?
Sophie
Is that a cat?
Wes
Wildcat. I feel like Arizona is also the Wildcats. Northwestern is also the Wildcats.
Sophie
The Tigers.
Wes
There's a lot of tigers.
Sophie
Lots of tigers.
Wes
Especially Jaguars. Wait, I'm going to look this up on Perplexity real fast and ass. Because it'll be faster.
Sophie
Oh, my God. How many?
Wes
Oh, cougars. BYU cougies.
Sophie
55.
Wes

Sophie
Yeah. Dude, you were so close.
Wes
Holy. 15 bobcats. Are you kidding?
Sophie
16 cougars, panthers, three jaguars, one leopard. Six lines. 14 tigers.
Wes
14 tigers. There's more. Bobcats and tigers.
Sophie
Surprising.
Wes
Damn. But do either of you know why a bobcat is called a bobcat?
Sophie
Because they're tails.
Wes
Yeah. Good. That's not everyone who gets that.
Sophie
Really?
Wes
Yeah.
Sophie
That was so country of us to both know that, like, you Bob like cats with a bob.
Wes
Not a lot of people. That's a good. That's a good job, Soph.
Sophie
Thanks. Shout out to Paula. She's the one.
Wes

Wes

Sponsor Voice 3
Fuck.
Sophie
It's so cool. 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 give. 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 and they make.
Wes
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.

Wes
All right, let's hop into a little thing we like to call tell me something.
Sophie
The most unique segment on our show.
Wes
Hey, Sophie. Hey, Wes. Big fan of the podcast and your careers. My son is a senior in high school and he just landed a full ride scholarship to play baseball at a juco in southern Illinois. We are from Georgia. I just want to know if you could give my son some advice on how to approach first year in college as an athlete, as a student, as an independent young man. What to do to be, you know, positive in all aspects of those things.
Sophie
And just kind of get the most.
Wes
Out of his experience but also be successful and continue to grow and get bigger and get stronger to hopefully play at a four year college after his juto time.
Sophie
Congrats.
Wes
Yeah, congrats. That's awesome.
Sophie
That is so cool. Do you want to go first?
Wes
I can. Two things that I think of. Obviously juco, he probably won't be there for four years right away, but I still think trying to like be present where you are will help you a lot. Like, I was kind of lonely when I, like when I first left for college. Obviously you have friends because you're on a sports team, but they're still new and you don't necessarily, like, they don't have a lot of depth to them. Once you can like really settle in and be content with like the town you're in, the friends you have, I think it makes the sport you're playing easier because you have like layered appreciation for where you are. And then like the roller coaster of your sports career does not affect you as much as it would if that's the only thing you put all your marbles into. Because it can, it can really fuck with you as an athlete because it's kind of how you self, self identify. And so being having good relationships with your teammates, with your coaches, and like appreciating the school and community that you're a part of will make your athletic experience like that much better. So, like, really give that a shot. And then you know you're going to a juco. So the idea is that you're going to go to another school, do the same thing at the next place, like really try. And that's harder now with the way everyone's transferring, I would imagine. But that is what helped me. So that's big.
Sophie
I like that. Yeah, I think just kind of piggybacking off you. When you can really dive into the community, that helps so so much of just like being where your two feet are at and embracing that. But when I think when it comes to the actual athletic side of becoming a freshman, I think it's all about time management. It's about work ethic. My biggest thing is it's about stacking the days. Like, everyone wants to come on campus and be the star right away. You want to get paid right away. You want to be a starter right away. Well, that's not just how it. That's not how it works. That's not really reality. And so for me, I think when you can stack the days and really learn the ropes and dive into your nutrition, into getting into the weight room, into getting extra reps, like that's part of the journey. You have to embrace and love the journey. And if you're stacking the days and even getting 1% better every single day. And sometimes that might look different. Sometimes you're gonna have a shitty day. But that was. You tried your best and that's what it was. I think it's all about the journey and so enjoy it, embrace it, love your teammates, get to know people. And I think when you do that, I don't know, I think you're gonna look back and be really proud of your career.
Wes
Congrats, dog. Have fun.
Sophie
Morning, Sophie. Morning.
Wes
Wes kindly had a more serious question for you.
Sponsor Voice 3
How would you guys handle.
Wes
Family that you don't get along with specifically, like in an in law situation? Things like, like, we're always at odds and I don't really feel that safe communicating my beliefs when they get into discussions and just gets all around awkward. And I know it hurts my wife in a lot of ways. So just curious, you guys have any advice? All right. Love the pod. Hope you're doing well. Happy holidays.
Sophie
Happy holidays. Honestly, great voice. That guy's a great voice.
Wes
Yeah, you should do. Yeah, you should do radio.
Sophie
But I am kind of curious, does he know that, like, we don't have in laws, neither of us.
Wes
Yeah, that's tough. So Sophie and I don't really have experience with that. Again, don't take any of our information too serious here. My first thought would be just to be as open with your wife as possible about it and because she'll be honest with you and about her family where, like, you probably don't want to step on toes as much. And like, I hate to put it all on her, but it kind of feels like, well, no, but like what other middleman option is there? Or like she could also be like, this isn't my issue. You guys figure it out. Like, because you all are going to be with each other for a long time, if she wants to do that, she has every right to. It also depends on, like, how you don't get along. Like, do you not have similar interests or is it like different political views? Like, there's a bunch of different ways that this can all be a thing. But.
Sophie
But I think at the end of the day, I think you can go into a situation of trying to like, have a clean slate and just going in there knowing, like, hey, maybe good vibes this year. Like, let's just try to give them another shot and like, hopefully you can find one person on her side or his side of the family that you.
Wes
Can like to be your like, doorway. Yeah. And like, that's good. That's. I like that.
Sophie
And like, if you, if you already know that you guys maybe don't get along or there's some tension. Just like be friendly. Like don't just try to pursue some peace and then like just kind of go do your own thing. You know what I mean?
Wes
Well, I think it depends how much you see them. If it's like all the time, you might have to put your foot down and like solve the shit because it's too unbearable. But if it's like just holiday Christmas and like a birthday once a year, then just keep the peace, like who really cares? But if it's. If it's like every month or like a couple times, like that's different. You got to figure the out. Like then, I don't know, stand up to someone.
Sophie
Yeah.
Wes
And just lock it in.
Sophie
But Wes, I think, I do think that you had good advice though. I. I think that you and your significant other, you guys should always make sure that you guys are on the same page. Like keep that you guys communication open and. Yeah. Move on from there. Yeah. That was pretty good of us.
Wes
Look at us, Soph. Oh. This next segment is brought to you by Hard Rock Bet. Okay, guys, real quick. Chief's kind of in a do or die situation this Sunday, kind of.
Sophie
Wesley are 100% and yeah.
Wes
So things are looking a little scary. And Sophie and I are going to give you each and anytime TD score, just if you need a little sprinkle because Sophie and I are a little nervous about where this season is going and we're trying to bring some good juju back. So anytime TD score, I'm rolling with Patty. Mahomes using his legs. Do or die. I think if they get in the red zone, I think he's going to sacrifice his body like go get you some. He sneaky, sneaky decent runner. And he seems to find the end zone when they need it the most. So I'm going. Mahomes. Mahomes rushing. Touchdown. I think he knows what's at stake and he's going to go find it himself.
Sophie
Okay. I think my pick this week and if these picks work, I think that, that somehow we should become like special coaches for the rest of the season. Like on the sideline with headsets chewing. All these guys is a new asshole so they can like win another Super Bowl. I think that's just my opinion, but I think I'm going to go with Xavier Worthy. I think he's kind of been struggling a little bit. Hasn't had a touchdown I feel like the past couple games and so target him early to like, target him often and let's get him one. Like, he needs to get going.
Wes
So. Lovely take. Well, I'm in. I'll tell you.
Sophie
We talked about this. You. You helped me with my thoughts. So shout out to you.
Wes
Amazing. Hey, guys, thanks for tuning in. We appreciate you. Remember December 6th in Kansas City. Come take a shot with Sophie and I.

This is an iHeart podcast.
Release Date: November 21, 2025
Hosts: Sophie Cunningham & Wes Wilson
This episode of The Herd’s "Show Me Something" podcast, hosted by Sophie Cunningham and Wes Wilson, covers a lively range of sports and pop culture stories with comedic, personal, and heartfelt moments. The main focus lies on Sophie’s straight-shooting reaction to Michael Porter Jr.’s recent WNBA comments, Wes’s BravoCon misadventures, a heartwarming Hot Girl of the Week tribute, and listener Q&A. Throughout, the podcast’s trademark candid banter and grounded sports insight shine.
[22:50–31:14]
Wes summarizes: "He basically was trying to say no one should compare NBA and WNBA players… he could beat you guys in basketball… in eighth grade."
Sophie’s take:
Both agree:
Sophie: "Men are just stronger, bigger, athletic…if you put them up against females… well yeah, they’re gonna win. Duh." (26:46)
Wes probes: “Do you think there are any WNBA players who would say, ‘We could beat any high school team of boys?’"
Sophie: "Oh, no. If you put best of WNBA against elite high school guys…I just don’t think that’s a fair matchup." (27:19)
Hosts reflect on high school dominance: Sophie’s Rock Bridge team’s undefeated streak, traveling for games because “people did not want to come play us.” (29:42)
[43:26–49:48]
The hosts maintain a casual, irreverent, and open tone packed with inside jokes, good-natured cussing, and sports-insider authenticity ("That's so country of us to both know that," "Well, yeah, they're gonna win. Duh."). Personal stories and raw opinions dominate, mixed with a clear camaraderie.
This episode continues the Show Me Something tradition of delivering on-topic sports takes, genuine camaraderie, and unfiltered reactions. Sophie’s take on the perennial NBA-vs-WNBA debate, Wes’s chaotic BravoCon recap, and heartfelt Hot Girl of the Week segments showcase the show’s range—equal parts sports, culture, comedy, and genuine advice.
