Episode 30 is an in-person NYC chaos special, and Sophie Cunningham is not shy about one thing: New York is freezing and she’s not built for it. From cold-weather complaints to off-court bag talk, the vibes are immediate. Things escalate fast when Sophie somehow ends up with an actual NBA fan warning at Monday's Phoenix Suns vs Brooklyn Nets game, then has to publicly clear up the internet’s wild misinterpretation of her herpes joke (it’s a cold sore, relax). The convo rolls straight into Adidas fashion dominance, Indiana winning the College Football National Championship Game, and why buying coffee every day might actually be good for your mental health. Mid-episode, Bravo’s West Wilson delivers a completely unhinged breakdown of morning wood science, Dry January struggles, and what life looks like as ‘Summer House’ Season 10 creeps closer, including whether Sophie would survive in the Hamptons chaos. The back half turns legendary: Arby’s Hot Girl of the Week honors The Denver Broncos' Alex Singleton, who has been balling in this year's NFL Playoffs. Followed by a surprisingly real (and wild) discussion about testicular cancer, single-ball logistics, and Alex himself joining the show, via phone, to answer the internet’s most important questions. To close it out, the crew rips through headlines on Sophie's WNBA free agency, the death of movies, 2016 nostalgia, Geno Auriemma torching Connecticut pizza, and the weird ‘Black Mirror’–level tech unveiled at this year's 2026 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.00:00 - START 1:00 - NY TOO COLD FOR SOPHIE 1:05 - SOPHIE'S BAG OFF THE COURT6:00 - Sophie gets NBA FAN WARNING 7:10  - Sophie CLEARS UP HERPES CONVERSATION 10:00 - Adidas Photo Shoot coming up 11:00  - INDIANA WINS NATIONAL TITLE  12:00 - Adidas former WNBA Sponsor ?!13:00 -  Buying coffee everyday is good! 15:50 - WEST BREAKING DOWN MORNING WOOD 17:00 - DRY JANUARY WEST LIFE 18:00 - Summer House Season 10 Approaches 21:30 - If Sophie was on Summer House? 25:00 - Wake up Mic up 27:30 - Amanda & Kyle split up29:30 - West reflects on reality fame 34:00 - ARBY’S HGOTW Broncos Alex Singleton35:30 - TESTICULAR CANCER BATTLES 36:30 - Debating Alex Singleton’s ballsack lean 36:50 - Alex Singleton joins the show 39:30 - Sophie talks WNBA free agency 41:10 - Are movies COOKED? 46:00 - The 2016 Trend 47:30 - Geno Auriemma Calling out CT-PIZZA 55:00 - weird tech from Las Vegas Get your Meat & 3 box at an Arby's near you today.
