Sophie Cunningham GOES OFF: The WNBA must PROTECT Caitlin Clark Jun 27, 2026

Show notes

Sophie Cunningham doesn't hold back on the Indiana Fever's struggles, the state of WNBA officiating, why Caitlin Clark isn't being protected during her scrum with Alyssa Thomas and the Phoenix Mercury on Monday night, and the viral technical foul with DeWanna Bonner that turned her into the internet's newest meme.

They also talk All-Star voting returns, Sophie’s hot streak in Indy and why west coast road trips are the perfect time to bond, regroup and check in when a team is going through a rough patch. She also states why being a vet is important to a team’s mental physique.

Plus, West Wilson breaks his silence after the Whiteboard interview, explains why stepping away from Summer House was the right move & shares stories from officiating his first wedding.

Finally the duo talks a little FIFA Club World Cup, from Norway fans line dancing in Citi Field, to Scottish fans drinking out New England pubs, and the universal recognition of ranch dressing's awesomeness.

Sophie Cunningham gets REAL about Indiana Fever STRUGGLES with Bravo's West Wilson May 20, 2026

Show notes

This week on Show Me Something, Sophie Cunningham and West Wilson are back for Episode 40 — and there’s a LOT happening.

The crew celebrates the podcast’s major award nomination before diving headfirst into WNBA chaos, with Sophie giving a brutally honest update on the Indiana Fever’s early season growing pains, why she thinks this team can become elite with a roster that features Caitlin Clark, Kelsey Mitchell, and Lexie Hull, plus the hilarious story behind her accidental shot-block celebration.

West and Sophie break down the wild Victor Wembanyama NBA playoff takeover in Game 1 of the series between the San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder, why pro athletes supporting other leagues is actually the coolest thing ever, and what really makes home court such a weapon.

Then it gets delightfully unhinged: fake celebrity scam accounts stealing fans’ money, MLB players getting told to stop their very questionable celebration, a shocking baseball animal cruelty scandal, Bumble handing your love life over to AI, and the bizarre superstitions athletes swear by when they’re in a slump and Sophie’s emotional attachment to old makeup brushes.
