Show Me Something - Sophie Cunningham's EXPECTATIONS for Indiana Fever's WNBA season with Caitlin Clark
5/8/202656 min
This week on Show Me Something, Sophie Cunningham and West Wilson somehow turn a conversation about the weather into a full-blown deep dive on WNBA roster cuts, fighting hippos, aliens in the ocean, and why the ’90s may have been the greatest era ever.
Sophie gives a real behind-the-scenes look at Indiana Fever training camp just DAYS before the home opener — from brutal defensive practices and looming roster cuts to the emotional reality of being traded in the WNBA. She opens up about leaving the Phoenix Mercury, taking career risks, and why growth sometimes means getting uncomfortable.
The duo also gets into:
WNBA officiating drama
Why refs and players are finally trying to fix the league’s physicality problem
The MLB’s new challenge system and why it actually works
Summer House chaos, bar fights, and sibling wrestling stories
Deep ocean conspiracy theories and terrifying sea creatures
Why Gen Z secretly wishes they lived in the PAST
The REAL best era to grow up in
